Jury INDICTED SEVEN
BOMB SUSPECTS TODAY
Secrecy Is Maintained In In
terests of Justice Says
Prosecutor

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Seven indict
ments charging first degree murder
were returned at noon today in the San
Francisco suit case dynamiting case.
Five named Warren X. Billings, Thomas
Mooney, Mrs. Rena Mooney, Israel
Weinburg and Edward Nolan and two
were John Doe true bills. Each indict-
ment contained eight counts-o one for
each of eight victims of the outrage.
There were only eight counts in the
indictments because District Attorney
Fickert did not consider that Adam
Fox, an aged man, was direct victim
of the bomb.
The indictments were returned in Su
perior Judge Cabaniss court.
Before the indictments were returned
in various preliminary hearings connect
ed with the case, Judge Cabaniss indi-
Gated that the five accused persons will
courts. This Indication was given in
tentative ruling, during the proceed
ings in which Billings, and Nolan ap
peared.
Assistant District Attorney jaime:
Brennan said the prosecution might ia
vor separate trials for the defendants
and Judge Cabaniss tentatively agreed
to the suggestion.
Israel Weinburg also appeared in po
lice court today on the formal charge
Of murder filed few days ago. Po
lice Judge Sullivan put the formal ar
raignment ocver until Friday. Vein
burg's attorneys strenuously objected to
the delay.
The same secrecy which has surround
/ ed the police investigation since its
outset continued today. No importan,
details of the network of evidence in
which the prosecutor declares the sus
poets have been enmeshed were given
out, but Fickert and Assistant District
Attorney Brennan scmiled their conf
dence when questioned today.
1t was learned that Fickert made an
impassioned plea to the grand jurors
to assist the authorities by not insist
ing upon revelation of all the evidence
assuring the men that it was necessary
for the ends of justice to withhold
much of it at this time.
During the session of the grand jury
the stiffness of the hail of justice was
broken by strains of music from VIC
lin in the hands of Mrs. Mooney, The
woman, an accomplished musician, thus
passed the long, weary hours of wait
ing and the cadences of "Traumerei
and other pathetic airs floated through
the corridors, bringing tears to the eyes
of many a hardened prisoner.
Rumors that some new sensational
steps, involving a person of even more
importance than those now held in Gus
tody, could not be confirmed early to
day. Two additional suspects were de
tanned during the night but were re
leased wnsn they convinced the police
that they had no connection with the
crime.

Strike Brings the Trouble Of
Cooking On Top Of Cost
Of Living

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Society grill
ed its own steaks and Bohemia went
hungry in San Francisco today.
With upwards of thousand culi-
nary workers on strike and most of
the 5000 others soon to be affected by
the lockout declared by the large EN-
plOyers, chaotic conditions existed in
the eating palaces which daily furnish
food for the thousands of the city S
diners-out.
Cafe frequenters, who are more num-
erous in this city perhaps, tnan in any
other in America except only New
York, faced the dread prospect of get
ting their meals at home.
Red padged pickets marched bacl,
and forth today in front of the lead
ing cafes reiterating the cry "unfair

All the principal restaurants and
most of the smaller places were affect
ed. The issue was precipitated when
the union called q strike and it was
Immediately met by the action of the
employers in declaring lockout and
an open shop. Placards appeared in
the front windows of the more promi-
nent places today announcing: "This
restaurant is conducted as an open
shop"
After the lockout was put in force,
the trouble spread to the musicians
union. Members of that body employ
ed in the places with orchestras were
told that they could remain, but not
as union men. Improvised orchestras
furnished the strains to which diners
out danced and made merry.
Uunque scenes were witnessed in all
the principal restaurants last night
Dinner parties that mad been arranged
for in advance were held, but hosts
and hostesses, finding few cboks and
no waters in attendance, cooked and
served the meals themselves. Several
society men, who knew enough about
cooking to get up meal for hunting
camp, publicly broiled steaks for guests
and made fun of themselves while do
ing it.
The hotels were not affected. Union
leaders declared that more than 1000
workers were affected already and
that 1000 would be out before night. A
number of small cafes closed their
doors, but nearly all of the larger ones
remained open. In the front window
of one restaurant appeared this sign:

beyond that.

Lieutenant Walter l.. Spaulding, of

The following extracts from letter

caught, the count showed ll3 mules in

London, Aug. 2.-British troops are
still graphing in hand to hand com
bat with Germans around Pozieres, but
are gaining. according to General Doug
las Haig's report from the front to-
day.
During the night the British com
mander in chief said additional progress
had been made along hostile trenches
east of Pozieres. There he said, the
fighting is in "close quarters between
small detachments' and is still in pro-
gress.
Hostile counter attacks yesterday ev'
ening against trenches west of High

heavy artillery fire of the British.

Paris, Aug French onslaughts
have won additional ground from the
Germans both north and south of the
Somme, according to the official COM
munique today.
A German gain after many successful
attacks, was admitted in Vauxchapler
wood, but the enemy's losses were said
TO be heavy.
"North of the Somme we captured a
powerful fortified work between Hem
and Monacu," the statement declared.
"South of the Somme we occupied q
German trench northwest of Denscourt,
imprisoning several.
"In the Champagne zone west of
Aubrives, Russian reconnaissance forces
charged and dispersed a German detach.
ment at the point of the bayonet.
"On the right bank of the Meuse,
along the Vauxchapler and LIE Chenois
front, violent struggle continued all
might. After many unsuccessful at
tacks, in most of which asphyxiating
gases were used, the Germans gained a
little ground in Vauxchapler wood. They
were elsewhere repulsed. The German
losses were heavy. One hundred prison
ers fell into the hands of the French. I"
On the Somme front there was extra.
ordinary air activity. The communique
mentioned 33 aerial combats by French
airmen over the German lines. One Ger.
man aeroplane, attacked by two Nieu-

BIG SUBMARINE

Nothing Has Been Heard Of

Morning
Has EITHER OWED OUT
JR PLANNING TO DO 50
Haze Hangs Over Ocean
Making Conditions Ideal
for Getting Out
BY. Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Norfolk, Va, Aug. 2.-The super
submarine Deutschland, which cleared
last evening from Baltimore for Bre.
men, either has slipped by Hampton
Roads and possibly on past the capes
into the open seas, or is planning to do
so, marine men here began to believe
late this afternoon when there still was
no sign of the ocean adventurer.
No word has come from the Deutsch
land since morning, when she was half
way between Tangier Island, on the
Chesapeake bay and Old Point Com
fort. She could have covered the inter
vening distance in two hours. No
boats that have come have reported
seeing her since morning.
The customs officials, acting under
direct tion of Chief Halstead at Wash
ington, said they would be compelled to
take charge of the Deutschland if she
came into port, unless it was for cargo
or in distress-or because of "pursuit
Of enemies" No cargo is awaiting the
submarine here.
Captain Koenig is aware of the ruling
in this respect, they said, and they do
not believe he intends to hesitate cnce
he rounds Old Point Comfort and heads
for the ocean.
Expected Her Early,
Marine men waiting the underwater
boat s arrival had expected to see her
earlier, believing she would reach Nor
folk by clock.
No Virginia pilot had yet been ask.
ed for and this Strengthened the be.
lief that Captain Koenig intended to
lie somewhere in the bay during the
day. Some possibility that the Deutsch-
land would shoot on out through the
capes without touching here was seen
in the fact that the thick weather of
early morning made conditions perfect
for the hazard. The heavy haze con
cealed boats at distance of two miles.
This same haze has hidden the war
ships of the allies lying somewhere out
side, and caused the commander of the
U. s. S. North Catollna to bring the
American neutrality protector inside
Cape Henry, where she waited early
this morning for the Deutschland to ap-
pear.
Over in Newport News, where the
general expectation that the boat would
put in there has been somewhat dissi,
pated during the past few day> because
of the fact that no cargo has been ae-
cumulated there, marine men were con-
cerned last night with the behavior of
