Blame Denied by Berlin.

Beriin-No German submarine could
have been in the vicinity Of the spot
where the Dutch liner Tubantia was
sunk, and no German mines had been
laid in this region, the German ad-
miralty announces. The official state
ment says: "a German submarine is
out Of the question in connection with
the sinking Of the Tubantia, as the
place where the accident took place is
less than 30 miles from the Dutch
coast, which means that this place is
within the territory declared to be not
dangerous for shipping by the mani
festo Of February 4, 1915"

Black Cat il -Four Wrecks.

North Yakima, Wash. - One closed
Northern Pacific freight car in which
black cat was locked at Auburn, was
responsible a few days ago for four
accidents. The train had two derail-
ments on the west side Of the noun
tains, the same ear figuring in both.
The ill-omened car jumped the rails in
the Roza canyon and spilled shipment
of -four and automobiles. After passing
this city it caused another wreck in the
lower valley. When the car was
opened at Pasco the cat disappeared,
and no more trouble was encountered.
