SUBMARINE issue
May Be RE0PENED
THE SINKING OF A BRITISH
FRElGHTER BY SUBMARINE
WITH AMERICANS ABOARD.
US. AWAITS OFFICIAL REPORT
Submarine Also Sinks British Horse
Transport With Mixed Crew Of
Americans and British.

Washington.-A cablegram from
u. S. Consul Frost, at Queens
town, received by the state depart
to face with a possibility of q re-
opening of the whole submarine issue
with Germany. Consul Frost reported
there were seven Americans aboard
the British freighter Rowanmore,
sunk after trying to escape from a
German submarine 140 miles off Cape
Clear, Ireland Open boats in which
the refugees were leaving the ship
were shelled by the submarine, ac-
cording to the consul's preliminary re-
port.
The state department is awaiting
more complete report. II Is stated
that If 1t should prove true that
Americans were shelled in the boats
in which they were leaving the
Rowanmore the incident might be-
come very serious in spite of the fact,
apparently, that there were no casual
ties. A parallel case is that of the
Ancona, which was shelled under
similar circumstances by an Austrian
submarine. Austria was denounced
in the severest terms for this act and
immediate apologies and the punish
ment of the submarine commander
were demanded by the United States
government. Austria apclogized and
promised to punish the commander
State department officials say the
Rowanmore case may become a test
of the sincerity of the assurances OF
Germany after the Sussex incident
that she would conduct her SUBJ
marine warfare in accordance with the
rules laid down by the United States.
A case of lesser importance than
that Of the ROwanmore was also re-
ported by Consul Frost. He inform
ed the department that a German sub
marine had sunk without warning the
British horse transport Marina, with
mixed crew OF British and
Americans. The case Of the Marina
is less serious because If she were a
government transport, as the report
indicates, she would be classed as a
warship and Americans go aboard
such vessels at their own risk

LETTER FROM THE
STATE CAPITOL
FIRST STEP OF A GAME FARM IN
MICHIGAN WAS TAKEN BY THE
PUBLIC DOMAIN COMMISSION.
EMBARGO ON COAL IN STATE
Sean Shortage in State is Estimated
at 100000 Bushels; Michigan
Banks PROSPER.

Lansing.-The first step toward the
establishment Of game farm in
Michigan was taken by the public do
main commission, when it went on
record as being in favor of the pur-
chase of what is known as the Teel
farm, in Ingham county, and start
ing at once the breeding of the ring
necked pheasants. Game Commits
sioner William r. Oates has an OPP
ton on the farm, and within day or
two a committee consisting of Mr..
Oates, Secretary of State Vaughan,
Auditor-General Fuller and A. c. Gar
ton, secretary of the commission, will
arrange for a continuance of the OPP
tion until Governor Ferris can be
consulted. Under the law of 1913,
which provides funds for such pro-
ject, the consent of the governor is
necessary.
The plan will necessitate an expen-
diture, at the start, of 100000 includ-
ing about $4,000 for the purchase OF
the land. The money will come from
the fund created by the gun license
of 81 a hunter, which has been in eff
feet for a couple years, and which
now contains about 100000 The de-
cision of the commission came after
an all-day session. The Teel farm
contains 1876 acres, and is endowed
by nature, the experts say, with suf-
fcient cover for birds to make it an
ideal breeding and rearing place. The
farm is 16 milag southeast of Ian
sing. The scheme, as it will be pre-
scented to the governor, contemplates
starting with 500 birds, which wilt
cost $500 Four men, a superin-
tendent and three assistants will con-
stitute tho initial force on the farm.
