GATHERS DATA
IN VACUUM CASE

LONDON, May 1.-Robert P. Skin
ner, the American consul general in
London, received only a meager report
from the survivors Of the Vacuum
who were landed at an obscure point
out of touch with the telegraph serv-
ice.
The early report did not indicate
how many American gunners were
among the survivors.
Affidavits will be obtained from the
men at Liverpool by the American
consulate and they will be sent back to
America.
1t is not believed that the missing
gunners were taken prisoners although
it is possible that lieutenant may
have been taken aboard the submarine.
The whole crew of the gunners would
have been too many visitors to have
been accommodated on submarine.
The possibility is that the missing
boat was lost as boat of the size
carried by the Vacuum, according to
naval men would have been overload.

WIFE'S PREMON|TION
KEEPS CAPT. M'kAY
OFF LOST STEAMER

NEW YORK, May IA woman's
premonition is said to have been re-
sponsible for the withdrawal OF Capt
William Mckay frcm command Of the
American oil tank steamer Vacuum
which was sunk by a German subma-
rine Saturday.
According to an official in the ship
ping commissioners office here, Capt
Mckay was preparing to board the
vessel when his wife told him she
had positive foreboding OF misfor-
tune to the Vacuum.
So insistently did Mrs. Mckay plead
with her husband to remain at home
that he finally consented, although he
said he did not attach any importance
to her fears. 1t was then that Capt.
S. s. Harris took Capt. McKay's place.
He and others of the ships company

PROTESTS TRAINING
AT own EXPENSE

NEW YORK, May 1.-Workers on
afternoon newspapers here who have
been training for more than year for
the officers reserve corps Of the army
have adopted resolutions threatening
to dissolve their unit within thirty
DAYS, unless the congress and the
war department shall have Iut a
thorough system into effect within
that time which will not require ap.
plicants for membership in the offic-
ers reserve corps to spend three
months in training camps at their own
expense.

great the emergency" the resolutions
asserted, was "undemocratic, unAmer-

SHORT SHRIFT FOR ANY SPIES
IF THEY GET CAUGHT
Washington, July 6.-ShOrt shrift
will be portion Of any proven German
spies rounded up in hunt for betray-
ers of Americas transports.
Temper is that there should be no
danying with men who endanger
American lives by tipping off Amen-
can military information, but that
they should be made examples of
summary.
Every one here now realizes that
there was so little secrecy about
DreDarations to move transports that
spy did not need especial efficiency.
All he had to do was to keep his eyes
open and if he had a special advance
code he could send it to neutral
countries adjacent to Germany
Mary has the measles" might
mean to code man in Berlin Amer
ica's transports have sailed"
This leak to neutrals will be
blocked.
Officials are now convinced that
Germany could not have had ad-
vance information as to routes the
American transports we're to take or
as to their rendezvous somewhere in
the Atlantic These orders were
sealed and known to only three or
four persons in this country and to
Admiral Sims in England.

GAS AND PHONE ORDINANCES
CONSIDERED TODAY
Allen w. Elliott
The mayor of Chicago and the city
council were slated for a final test
today when the gas and automatic
phone ordinances fought bitterly by
the best interests of the city were to
come up for action.
In Big Bills mahogany Office today
rested a paper labeled "a permissive
gas ordinance" designed to allow
the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Co.
to sell cheaper gas at higher price.
Unless the mayor vetOes this law it
will give the gas company a firmer
hold on the purses of the people.
The city council, too, will go on
record today when the aldermen are
asked to pass or defeat an ordinance
which will allow the Chicago Tunnel
co. to sell its automatic phone equip
ment and give the city 100000 for
the privilege.
Attorneys have advised the city
that this equipment belongs ITO the
people through a forfeiture clause in
the tunnel corporations franchise.
Every alderman who votes in ia
vor of the ordinance will vote to
trade away a complete phone system
which belongs to the people Of Chi
cagO.

IMPORTANCE OF THE ALLEY
Writer Shows How II May Be Main
tained With Great Advantage
to the Community.

"The objections made to alleys are,
first, that the ground cannot be af-
forded for this use; second, that the
expenditure necessary to pave, clean,
police and light an alley system is not
warranted" says a correspondent of
the Chicago Daily News. These OBJ
iections have as their basis the ques-
tion of expense only. AS to the first,
it is my belief that the area set apart
for alley purposes is better utilized
than that taken for any part OF the lot
itself, and is second only in Importance
to that portion of the ground area
needed for the street, which, we may
remark is often of unnecessary width.
Admitting that alleys in many cases
are at present marked nuisance Tor
lack of proper maintenance, can only
urge the necessity that they be paved
as a prerequisite to proper cleaning,
That they demand lighting and po-
licing is of course evident, but this
expense is much less in the case OF
alleys extending directly through the
square than those which have offsets
or bends in this course.
For the safeguarding of light and
air in city blocks in our own day and
for the preservation of these essen
tials of sanitation in the days that are
to come, let us stimulate an apprecia-
tion of the benefits conferred by alleys
and by providing suitable equipment
and adequate care minimize their dis
advantages"
