REPORTED TAKEN
Raider Operating Along
South American Coast
Still at Large

Eight British and two
French vessels have been sunk
in the Atlantic and two British
steamships have been captured
by a German raider. An
nouncement to this effect was
made today by the British adj
miralty. 81
So far as is shown by the
British, announcement, the
raider is still at large. Appar-
emily she has been operating
off the coast of South America.
The first news of the raid was
received with the arrival at
Pernambuco, Brazil, on Mon
day evening of the Japanese
steamship Hudson Maru, which
had on board the masters and
237 men of the crews of YES
sells destroyed between Deem
Der 2 and January -. In adj
dition, the British steamship
Y~arrowdale, one of the cap
tured vessels, was sent off with
about 400 men who were to be
landed. No news Of these men
has been received as yet.
The British admiralty said
that on December 9Th a report
had been received that a dis
guisedl German vessel of the
mercantile type was intercept
ed on December 2 off the north
coast Of Scotland, but
was permitted to proceed, un-

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE leak in
v~estigation vas interrupted today
while the house extended the time O.
the Investigating committee 80 days
and authorized it to employ counsel
This foreshadows extending the in
curry to its broadcast aspects.
Taking of testimony will be resum-
ed tomorrow, probably with ]. P
J Morgan and other financiers in the
witness chair.
Today's session of the leak hear
ing was suddenly postponed as it was
about to open. Witnesses were noti-
fled to appear tomorrow. The post
ponement was made so the commit
tee might ask the house for authority
to employ counsel. Meanwhile the
committee will make its plans for
extending the inquiry into a general
investigation which was forecast
when 1t yesterday summoned J. r.
Morgan, Frank A. Vanderlip, Henry z.
Dawson and other well known finan-
ciers. Some Of them were on hand
today waiting to testify. Thomas W.
Lawson also was ready to go on and
Mrs. Ruth 'Thomason Vfsconti, the
woman whom Lawson says told him
Secretary Tumulty was involved in
the leak, had been served with a sub
poena.
"The committee has decided to ask
permission of the house to employ
counsel and accountants and for an
extension of 80 days in which to re-
port" said Representative Garrett in
explanation of today's action.
No Sense of Honor
Although declining to object, Rep
resentative Cooper, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, criticized the inquiry to
date in a short speech.
Thus far" he said, "the results
have only confirmed the belief
throughout the nation that there is no
fine sense of honor in public life. This
inquiry has degenerated into a par
tisan struggle"
Representative Moore, Of Pennsyl-
vania, said that Samuel Untermyer
had been suggested as counsel for the
committee and declared that Charles
Evans Hughes might be a good man
to consider"
Republican Leader Mann then de-
Il am convinced that the employ
ment of either Samuel Untermyer or
Mr.. Hughes would be an act of such
gross improperly that it would not be
considered for a moment by the com
.ittee."
Mr.. Mann added he hoped and be-
lieved that the investigation will
show that no public official in high
has been guilty of that which
would be treason to the country and
the people through the betrayal of a

THE WAR TODAY

THROUGH THE operations OF a
German raider, presumably op-
Grating in the South Atlantic,
eiqht British and two French
merchant vessels, including the
long missing steamers voltaire
and Georgia, are believed to
have been sunk and two British
steamers captured, London adj

In those waters.
THE RUSSIANS, who recently
have been giving evidences OF in
creasing power of resistance to
Field Marshal Won Mackenser's
pressure along the sereth line In
northern Rumania, have now
taken the offensive. Advancing
neal the Danube end Of the line,
they have re%captured the town

the Rumanlan Danube port OF

announcement from Petrograd

Il thought always and believe now
that Harry Thaw was insane. But i
had hoped that the Thaw alienists,
who believed the man harmless,
would be right. And since for more
than II months no mention has been
made in the papers of any overt act
of his, their convictions would seem,
for a time at least, to have been well
founded.
But if the story Of the flashing of
the boy, Frederick Gump, Jr., Is true
Thaw is a dangerous paranoiac and
should be confined for the benefit OF
the public as well as himself"
Thaw killed Stanford White in the
Madison Square Roof Garden on June
25, 1906. The jury in the first trial,
in which Thaw's counsel, Dolphin M.
Delmas, made 'dementia Americana
famous, disagreed. On the second
trial Thaw was tried on the ground
of insanity and committed in 1909 to
the New York State Hospital For the
Insane at Matteawan.
The history of his finally successful
fight for liberty, after a flight from
Matteawan and a long legal contest
in New Hampshire and New York, is
familiar. In the pictures are seen

looked in 1906 CNos. l and %; Thaw

Another "bone dry" resolution made
its appearance in the senate this af
ternoon. It's author is Senator Isaac
Barth, Democratic floor leader, whose
"dry" tendencies are well known. 1t
provides that alcoholic liquors "shall
not be USED, manufactured. sold,
given, purchased, dispensed or other.
wise disposed of within this state af-
ter January l, 1915"
Senator Barth states that under the
provisions Of the Webb-Kenyon law,
recently passed upon by the U. s.
supreme court, the adoption of this
amendment would prevent the ship
ment of any liquors into New Mexico,
except for medicinal, scientific and
sacramental purposes. He says the
Webb-Kenyon law protects a state
against liquor shipments exactly to
the extent that it desires to be pro-
tected, and that If the use of liquor
is prohibited, no carrier, under the
provisions of that law, can accept
shipments designed for personal use.
The Barth resolution, in full, fol-
lows:
"Be it resolved by the Legislature Of
the state of New Mexico:
"That there shall be submitted to
New Mexico for adoption or rejection,
an amendment to the constitution of
the state of New Mexico, by adding
thereto another article. as follows:
ARTICLE XIII
"Section ]. Ardent spirits, ale,
beer, alcohol, wine or liquor or liquors
of any kind whatsoever, containing
alcohol, shall not be used, manufac-
tured, sold, given, purchased, dispens-
ed or otherwise disposed Of within
this state after January LIST, 1918;
provided, nothing in this section shall
be held to apply to denatured or wood
alcohol, or grain alcohol when intend
ed and used for medicinal, mechani-
cal and scientific purposes only, OF to
apply to wine when intended and used
for sacramental purposes only.
"Sec. 2. Any person violating any
of the provisions of section n of
this article. shall, upon conviction, be
punished by a fine of not less than
nfty dollars, nor more than one thou
sand dollars, and shall be imprisoned
in the county Jail or state pe~nitentiary

viction for a second and subsequent

shall be punished by a fine of not less
than two hundred dollars nor more
than one thousand dollars, and shall
be imprisoned in the state pei ten
tiary for a term Of not less than che

The Democratic caucus made I
clear that the Democratic members

on the question Of submitting a bone

KEEP BUSINESS GOING

For our contrys sake, says john Wanamaker in lit
tie pamphlet he is distributing the country To keep
business going is essentially patriotic the planting OF
crops and going to the 'front.' for it will aid the nation IN
supplying the Sinews of war not only for ourselves but
for the allies and this must be done if to win. The
worst thing in the world that could happen to the world
these DAYS would be business depression in our United
States saws Mr. Wanamaker. The fact that we are at
war does not mean business depression, for the billions
that have been put into circulation WILL If properly used
grow and multiply for each individual who participates IN
business whether on the farm or in the city.
Here is Mr.. WanamakeT'S view Of the situation:
patriotic economy means the elimination OF waste
and extravaganza 1t means the conservation OF our food
products our natural wealth. health our energies
our labor very lives means putting more efficiency
in everything do that each unit OF money energy
and intelligence may accomplish the utmost
"PatIiotic economy does not mean the lowering OF
Americas standard of living which would make us less
efficient physically and mentally nationally and ndvidl-
ally and would kill the spirit and the will to do the truly
self-sacrificng things to be done.
"Cities and communities must go on with their civic
improvements. Road building and public works must
proceed Railroads must renew their equipment Fac
tories must be kept going to then full capacity Labor
must be employed. Homes must be kept up. Merchan-
disc must be produced distributed and used
WAR duties and expenditures must be IN addltlon
to peace duties and peace expenditures The more we do
the more we can do The money spend the more
we will have in our pockets to spend Money creates
