SOLDIERS SEIZED THREE
CASES OF AMMUNITION
Found at Farm of Christopher
Kemp.

Putnam, April 10.-Captain Joseph
Ryan of the Putnam police and nine
members of an infantry company sta
toned in this city went to the farm
of Christopher Kemp. German farmer
on the Senexet road, in the town of
Woodstock, Tuesday afternoon, and
seized three cases Of ammunition that
was found under a stairway in the
Darn. The ammunition was brought to
Putnam and is now in the custody of
the military contingent stationed here
The cases contained several thousand
rounds to be as many as
ammunition.
When Captain Ryan and the soldiers
reached the Kempf place the house was
surrounded and Mr.. and Mrs. Kempf.
very aged couple, were informed that
the purpose of the visit was to search
the premises. Mr.. Kempf said that he
rad no objection. Soldiers entered the
barn and quickly located the ammu-
nition which was loaded on a truck
and brought here. The old peoples
eyes were filled with tears as the
searching party drove away.
It was learned Tuesday evening that
Mr.. Kempf said that the ammunition
was sent to him more than a year and
a half ago by his son, Joseph, who is
employed in New York, and that it
was intended for the use of hunting
parties that occasionally start out from
the farm. 1t is not known generally
how the officials knew that the ammu-
milton was at the place. The seizure
created a sensation in this city and
surrounding towns, but there is not
anything connected with the affair to
indicate in any way that the presence
IF the ammunition at the Kempf place
suggests a plot Mr.. and Mrs. Kempf
are a fine old couple and they always
have deservedly had the respect of all
who knew them. Mrs. Kempf was so
much distressed by the call of the SOL
diers and seizure of the ammunition
that she was made ill, and Mr.. Kempf
is quoted as saying that he is glad
the ammunition has been taken away.
The officer in charge of the infantry
detachment declined to make any
statement whatever about the affair.
Reports that rifles were seized at the
Kempf place are absolutely untrue.
The officials took no action other than
to seize the three cases of ammunition.

AMERICAN LINER NEW
YORK STRUCK A MINE
But Reached Her Destination Under
Her Own Steam.

Liverpool, April 10. 11.0s p. m--The
American Hne steamer New York,
bound from New York for Liverpool,
struck a mine last night when nearing
her destination. The explosion oc-
Cured on the port bow of the vessel.
Nearby vessels went to the assist
ance of the liner and all her passen-
gers were taken off and brought to
the landing stage here. 1t was found
that the damage. which was confined
to the fore part of the vessel, was not
to make her dock under her own
steam. The vessel had shipped some
water, but her appearance as she came
into the river suggested nothing more
than that she was heavily laden. The
steamer will go into drydock as early
as possible.
The New York struck a submerged
mine and the explosion shook the ves-

a life belt. The crew behaved SPLEEN
didly. as the vessel began to take IN
water rapidly. The bulkheads were
promptly closed but in a very short
time there were many feet of water
in the forehold-
During the launching of the small
boats some Of the crew received minor
injuries.
When landed late tonight many of
the passengers showed signs of their
trying experience. Some of the wom-
