Alice Basket Ball Team Made Up Of Students and
 College Graduates [

By a score of 23 to 15 skagway last night defeated the Alice Ath- letes in basket ball. From the start of the game to the final whistle the boys played fast and hard and although skagway gained large lead in the first half, 1t looked rather sad for the local team during the second part Of the game '.. j.
 At the end of the first half the score stood IS to in favor of Skagway. Many fouls were called on both sides, and both sides showed lack of team work. Indtv- idual plays were in evidence show ing that players on both teams were experienced at the game. The Alice team had only played together once before and did remarkably well considering that fact and that they have no room on the ship to even practice signals.
 back hard during the second half
 The Princess Alice players. came and scored nine points to Skagway's five. During this half both teams fought desperately. but the Alice men had the lead at all times. Skagway was exceptionally good at converting fouls, while the Alice players were unusually weak in this part of the game.
 For the Alice, '. F. Countryman was without doubt the star player. Lawrence was a close second to Countryman, and Hill did good work at guard. I..s.,i d.
 Friedenthal was the star perform CT for the home team, making six out of the ten baskets and convert ing three fouls for Skagway. Bled- soc was ,one of the best p,ayers on the floor and gained six points for the home team. Mike Rossi made a spectacular basket by 8 long throw from the center of the gym and he was on his feet wherever the game was most lively. Mathews and Rapuzzi played consistent posi- tions at guard and were largely re- sponsible for keeping the score of the opposing team down.
 The Alice team Is made up of school teachers, high school boys, and Y. M. c. A, students who are spending their summer vacations working on the boat. J. F. Coun- tryman who played center Is a teacher and a college graduate with an A. B. degree. The menwant a little change from the life of the boat and organized this team of bas- ket ball players in the hopes that they might thus get a little exer- else while on shore.
 A dance followed the game last night for which the skagway band furnished the music. The dance wa strictly informal in its nature and was much enjoyed.
 The Princess Alice boys hope to finish their work today in time for game of base ball, but nothing de- Fipita ic ossured

Baroness Held as Spy;
American Lieutenant
Arrested With Her
Secret Code Found on Wom-
an Whose Husband Fights
for Kaiser

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. "a
Baroness Iona Zollner, Of New York,
wife of a German army officer serving
on the Flanders front, was held with
out bail for the Federal grand jury
here to-day, on the charge of violat-
ing the espionage act.
Lieutenant John W. Spaulding, the
twenty-five -year-old United States
army officer, arrested with the wom-
an at local hotel last week. was sent
10 Fort Oglethorpe under guard after
he had testified for the defence.
The charge against the baroness is
based chiefly upon code found in her
possession and letters written by her
to her sxteen-year-old son, Bedford
Shope. The code, Spaulding swore to-
day, was arranged so the baroness
could be kept informed as TO his move
ments until such time as he might be
sent TO France. One of the letters TO
the boy described minutely trip TO
Fort Oglethorpe, the condition lof the
roads and the topography Of the sur
rounding country.
q Spaulding testified that he loved the
prisoner and wanted to marry her, that
she had paid his hotel bills and other
expenses on various occasions and that
she helped him to get Ii commission in
the army after he had been compelled
10 resign from the Naval Academy on
account Of bills"
Baroness Zollner denied the charges
vigorously. She said she had been in
vestigated at Washington and Annapo-
lis, and was permitted to move about
under the known status OF an alien
enemy.
Commissioner McAlester, who con-
Quoted the hearing, indicated that much
Of the evidence against the defendant
had been explained away. He refused
20 accept bail, but advised counsel for
the baroness to apply to the Federal
district judge for a writ of habess
corpus.
About the same time Victor Reutner,
an alien enemy summoned before the
District Attorney because his wife's
address was found in Baroness Zoll-
ner's effects, dropped dead at Knoxville.

ose;sls OF the Board Of Education
yesterday decided to take prompt and
s-..., action for the removal Of

,,s publi, schools Of the city. 1t is
,-obsble that these books. which many
.3,,s.ors declare TO be nothing less
s,p German propaganda, will be or
tered out within a week.
This action follows the exposure by
The Tribune Of the fact that many
hooks used by New York pupils con.
tain lsuda,ory mention Of the Kaiser
and praise OF German militarism.
The nine members Of the Board OF
sBosrirtendents 10 which the subject
has been referred will meet tomorrow
norninr 20 form a definite recommen-
s,tion. which is TO 90 before the Board
q Education tomorrow afternoon.
None Of the officials Of the board yes
terday expressed any doubt as to what
the Recommendation would be.
For many weeks the textbooks in the
German language. which have con-
,siped the more fagrant pro-German
sentiments. have been under scrutiny
bv z special committee. The commit
%, has read from cover TO cover more
than a dozen OF these books, and has
marked the passages which they con-
sider unfit TO be taught TO American
pupils.
Il wss learned yesterday that one OF
the large school book publishers, learn
IN, Of the contemplated action OF the
board. has decided not TO publish any
more German textbooks unless they
have first been submitted TO the au-
thonties. One publisher said his COM
panv had resigned itself to losing many
thousands Of dollars, because 1t would
be unable to sell certain books already
published.
Dr. Gustav Straubenmuller, chair
man Of the Board Of Superintendents'
said yesterday that not all German
textbooks listed for use in the public
schools were actually in use. He said
some which had been used before the
war had since been dropped.

suppression of Socialist meetings in
Berlin, are reported in a radio mes
sage quoting a Zurich dispatch to
French news agency received BY the
government to-day.
The dispatch says that the conclusion
of the armistice with the Maximaiists
was the occasion for the Socialist DIS
turbances, which, in the main, TOOK
the form of bitter attacks on the Pan
German programme. The message, as
made public by the Committee on Pub
lie Information. reads:
WORD comes from Berlin that tne
conclusion of the armistice with the
Maximalists has, as frst erect, pro-
duced serious difficulties between the
imperial government and the majority
Socialists. The latter, in fact, adver-
tise openly their ideas about peace con-
ditions and those tendencies OF wnlcn
the Pan-Germanists and militarlsts
complain.
Numerous incidents have occurred
The prohibition of the meeting ar
ranged for last Sunday in Berlin oy
the majority Socialists is not an iso-
lated case. The communication OF the
Socialist party in the protest that was
addressed upon the subject to the I'M
nerial Chancellor mentioned q large
number of abuses committed by the
military authorities against the flgnt
Of holding meetings.
"The Pan-Germanists, on the otner
hand reproach the Social Democratic
maiorities for their anti-national attl-
tude. They complain notably OF an
article in the Chemnitzer 'Volkstimme'
in which is found this significant pas

mun.tion. several hundred rifles and a
number Of bags filled with revolvers
buried under the cargo of hides IN the
Shilka, Russian freighter which ar
rived here Friday night, under control
of its Bolshevik crew. Officials said
the cartridges found in the ammuni-
tion packages contained slugs such as
used by the Germans on the Eastern
front.
The consignment was probably in

Industrial Workers of the World or
for use of q raider in the Pacific.
"An investigation 70 determine the
purpose of those in charge of the ship
will be made Immediately" the United
States Distrp,t Attorney here to-day
said. "We know that the Shllka IS
manned by a Bolshevik crew, and ap-
parently is in charge OF committee
of five that took the vessel over after
the crew mutinied few days out OF
the Russian port"
Officials, continuing their search to-
day, discovered a large quantity Of
liauor and a number of !. ". W. news
papers aboard, they announced.
IL the munitions were intended for
the I. W. W., officials said, the Shilka
probably intended TO unload her cargo
here and then proceed to some pre-
arranged obscure spot on the coast
and put the rifles. reyolvers and am
munition ashore.
Among the Federal agents working
on the ship were some who said they
believed the munitions were. sent by
the Bolsheviki to aid the /. W. W. TO
foment revolutions in the United
States 70 further Bolshevik principles.
Captain Boris Dogal. master of the
boat, and members of the crew prob
ably will be interned, officials assert
cd. Search will be continued until the
entire vessel and cargo is gone over.
Unverified rumors were circulated
Saturday night that the vessel carried
100000 sent by Bolsheviki TO aid the
defence of I. w. W. under trial in
Chicago. Officials have found no trace

l6 Dead, 9S Hurt
When Car Runs
Wild in Tunnel
Motorman in Pittsburgh
Loses Control on
Down Grade

PITTSBURGH Dec. 2i.-Fourteen per-
sons were killed and every other one
of the ia passengers was hurt here
late to-day when a Knoxville Street
car ran away in a tunnel which con-
meets the South Side business district
with the South Hills. After a dash
of almost mile through the tube the
car emerged at Carson Street and
turned over on its side.
The car, which was of the latest low
foor, steel type, was packed with city
bound shoppers when il left the sta
tion at the south end of the tunnel.
A minute or two later the trolley is
said TO have left the wire and the
lights went out. At almost the same
instant, for some reason not yet de-
termined, the motorman lost control
and the car dashed down the steep
grade, gaining momentum as the
wheels slipped along the wet rails.
The passengers were thrown into a
panic and their shrieks could be heard
for some distance as the car shot out
OF the tube. A few feet from the mouth
of the tunnel is a short curve. So ter
rife was the speed the car had attained
that the wheels at this point lett the
track.
The car instantly turne. over on It's
side, pilin, the passengers IN strug-
Cling mass inside. IL did not stop, but,
tearing along the sidewalk, struck
telegraph pole. Ine roof was ripped
off. and men, women and children were
scattered along the road way. Even
then the wrecked car kept going,
finally bringing up in a little confec-
tionery store near Smithfield Street.
Fourteen were killed outright, eight
of whom were women, and one a little
