AMERICAN SHIP TORPEDOED
Columbian Sinks After Attack BY
German Submarine-The
J Crew Escapes.

Paris-A dispatch from Madrid says
that 1t was German submarine which
sank the American steamship Co
lumbia. 3itf rs }isti iHiF
According to this information, the
Columbian encountered the submarine
on Nov. 8, during violent tempest.
The submarine compelled the Co.
,lumbian. to interrupt her voyage and
lie under surveillance until Nov. 8.
When the storm subsided. the dispatch
says, the submarine ordered the crew
to abandon the ship and then sank her.
+, A Hayas dispatch from Madrid
quotes the newspapers OF Corruna,
Spain, where the crew is reported to
have landed, to the effect that when
the Columbian was held up the subma-
rine ordered the crew to disembark,
but that the storm was so severe that
this was impossible until two days
later. q 49,

Norwegian steamships Baltic and Ford

OF these steamships was received from

TRAILING GANG OF ROBBERS
burg Have Theory About.
81 Stiles Killing.

Vicksburg, Miss.-The local police
believe that the burglars who killed
Capt. Sites, of the Vicksburg police
force. when he caught them in the act
of burglarizing department store re-
Gently. are members of the same gang
who robbed a big store at Jackson.
This belief is shared In by detec-
tives from Memphis and New Orleans
who came here to work on the case.
and who intimate that they are on the
trail of gigantic gang of burglars
who had laid plans to rob stores
throughout the south.
The three men now in jail here are
kept in sperate cells. Neither of them
has shown any inclination to talk as
yet, and If they are really professional
crooks, as many people state they be-
lieve them to be, the chances are there
will be no talking done by them.@
A local photographer went to the
Jail to make separate pictures of the
trio. but Cameron and Wilson offered
no serious objections. but Evans seri-
ously objected to being photographed.
He was forced to submit, however.
1t seems that neither Cameron or
Wilson are aware of the fact that
Evans has been jailed, and Evans does
not know the other two men have
been caught.

Berlin Makes Report About Sinking Of

Berlin-The report of the command

sank the British steamship Rowan
more, on which there were several
Americans. has been received by tho
admiralty and indicates that the cap
tain of the steamship was responsible
for her bombardment by the subma-

disregarded the submarines signal to
halt and endeavored to escape at full
speed, making it necessary for the
Submarine to fire few shots in order
to bring her to-.

captain ~ course, the report says. by
