(By Review Leased Wire).


 NEW YORK, May S.-An appeal for patriotic service and devotion to the nation in it's hour of need, made to- night by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt before the Kings county Republican committed, in Brooklyn, evoked great enthusiasm. A dinner in honor of Colonel Roosevelt, given by IU. s. Senator Wm. M. Calder, preceded the meeting.
 Must Shed Blood Now.
 Having failed in time of peace to prepare for war" Theodore Roosevelt said, the United States and entente allies Twill pay for this act of folly before the war ends" Meanwhile, be urged. Americans must bear them selves manfully in the conflict" and pay with our blood" sending to the front as rapidly as possible a great force of fighting men.
 Send Guards or France.
 He suggested incorporation of the unmarried men of the national guard of the states into regiments filled out either by the draft or from the ex- empted class and the despatch of these men to France or England for a per iod of intensive training preparatory to taking their places on the firing line.
 Colonel Roosevelt emphasized the necessity for economy and the avoid ance of waste; said there should be no improper profit-making, but that req sonable profits should not be emilin- ated; discussed methods of financing the war and asserted that the great problems which confront the nation could not be solved ''in a spirit of class greed" with capital and labor not in partnership.
 America has two fold duty at this time, Colonel Roosevelt said-irst, immediately to meet with every in- strument already available the i'm mediate needs of the war" and second, permanently to shape our policy not merely in military, but in social. and industrial matters, so as to place the republic on a permanent foundation of justice and strength"
 Reiterating his approval of obliga- tory universal military training and service, the Colonel again urged use of volunteers not included in the draft,

 MEXICO CITY, May S.-General Obregon's resignation as secretary of war was accepted by President Car ranZa tonight. The request made by General Obregon that he be placed on the retired list was answered by the statement that this is a matter on which the senate will have to take action

 Two instances were given today of where confidential news had been given out without authority. One was that of a cable to Jacob H.

Naval Authorities Suspect
 Ships of American Trans Atlantic Company of Supply
 ing Enemy At Sea.
RAIDERS ALSO MAY
 HAVE RECEIVED AID
Company President Issues Firm Denial, Citing Release of His Ships As Proof of Innocence.
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, May S.-Persistent rumors of more submarines in the South Atlantic were given additional color today when it was disclosed that government investigating agents are running down story that some freightors of the American trans-At- lantic Company, flying the American flag. have carried supplies to sea for U-boats.
 Officials would not go into details but it was assumed the reports prompting the investigation probaf bly came from members of the crew of the steamer Manitowoc quoted in newspaper dispatches from Porto Rico today as charging that the Man. itcwoc and other transatlantic com pany vessels had trans's,tpped tJ German submarines at sea quantities of food and fuel smuggled out of New York
 Navy investigates
 Both the navy department and the department of justice have taken a hand in the investigation. How the inquiry has progressed was not in dicated but the officials by their si lence gave the impression that no de- finite conclusions had been reached. They declined to comment on the news dispatches from San Juan or on statements by the transatlantic company officials in New York char acterizing the story told by the Man itowoc's crew as fiction.
 In many quarters the inclination was to regard the report as merely another of the crop of unfounded ru- mors current here since the visit of the U-53 to Newport. It was pointed out that all such rumors are inves- tigated thoroughly as a matter of policy and that consequently no con clusions could be drawn from the steps taken in the present case.
 Some naval officials. on the other hand. have not concealed their belief that German submarines and raiders have been supplied from this side of the Atlantic.
 Wagner Denies It
 NEW YORK. May S.-Assertion that none of the ships of the Ameri- can transatlantic Company had at any time supplied German submarines was made here tonight by the com pany's president, Richard G. Wagk ner.
 "If the government is Investigating our ships now we do not know it." MT. Wagner said. "We have noth- ing to conceal"
 All thre ships detained at St. Thomas were released. Mir. Wagner said. after the authorities became sat isfied that the reports that the ships | were supplying submarines were un- | true.

 IN NIGHT MEETING
Daniels Says Inventor Is On Right Road, And Only Few Experiments Needed. Edi- son Also Has Invention.
(By Review Leased Wire).

(By Review Leased Wire).
 WASHINGTON, May s.-Hope
 is brightening that American in-
 VentiVe genius has found the
 road that may lead to freedom of
 the seas from German subnrar-
 ines.
 A conference of unusual inpor-
 tance was held tonight at the
 home of Secretary Daniels. It
 was called in order that high of-
 ficials of the navy might go over
 with members of the naval con-
 sulting board the experiments aI-
 ready tried and those that are in
 prospect.
 DANIELS HOPEFUL
 "They believe they are on the
 right road" Mir. Daniels said.
 "They believe they are 1oinG to
 turn out something that is worth
 while. There will be more ex-
 periments. Further than that
 do not care to say"
 Other officials declared the scien- lists were coming down to brass tacks.' that the period of reaching out after every suggestion was pass ing and that definite crystaliation of the work upon which the foremost American experts have concentrated was certain to come soon.
 Those at the conference were See retary Daniels. Admiral Benson. chief of operations; Rear ,Adminal Taylar. chief constructor; Read Admiral Griffin. chief engeneer: Rear Ad- miral Earl. chief of ordnance: Rear Adminal Grant. chief of the submar- inc service. and Captain Wm. Stro- 'her who forms the connecting link between the department and consult and other scientific bodies.
 Scientists All President
 w. l.. Saunders. chairman of the consulting board. headed the repre- sentation of scientists. which in cluded the following members of the boards committee on special naval problems:
 Lawrence Addicks. chairman; Tho mas Robbins, Elmer A. Sperry and Benjamin B. Thayer.
 Edison Has Scheme
 Reports also were available to- night from Thomas A. Edison. who is at work on a somewhat different line of investigation.
 WiII Keep It Secret
 No intimation has been eiven as to the nature of experiments that have caused the cabinet members and naval officials familiar with what is being done to hope that problem is nearing solution. None will be given. whatever the results of new work. which it is understood will remain secrets of the government.
 After the conference tonight Sec -etsry Daniels said:
 "We have gone over the problems with combating the sub marines and experts of the consulting board will continue their experiments Nltu iuN GiitAohS NtSAShCu to NihAAANNN he menace. can only say this con ,erning their worla-that their plans are no dream. They are very i'm Dortant and very far reaching"
 It was intimated that the experts on definite means of fighting he submarines have eliminated from many suggested de lices and are eentering their expert nents on only few. one or two of which they hope will prove effective against the under water boats.

HTLO, Hawaii, Dec. There were
fireworks at the meeting OF the county
supervisors yesterday morning when
Supervisor A. II. Cahrfnha asked that
County Attorney Beers be summoned
before the board 10 explain certain
matters. J
When Mr. Beers entered the board
room Supervisor Cabrinha declared
that the county attorney should at
tend to the duties Of his official posi-.
ton first and to those OF his private
practise afterwards.
Specifying one instance Of what he
declared to be negligence on the part
of the county attorney. Cabrinha said
that in August last the board had sub
mitted certain matters In connection
with the removal Of a police officer
and his pay, to the county attorneys
department, but that no response had
come from the legal aid to the county.
Now, Mr.. Beers, you said the other
day, that Ii was not up to yeu TO adj
wise this board OF supervisors excepe
as to the legality OF certain acts and
that the financial end of the matter
had nothing to do with you. I want
to ask you why you did not reply to
the request Of the board that you
should investigate this particular
matterY' said the supervisor.
Then continuing. Mr.. Cabrinha de.
clared that the county attorney had
neglected his duties to the board and
added that men had called time after
time about certain matters, but that
nothing had been done for them.
Attorney Beers said that the maq =
of the police officers claim for safa .
after being dropped from the fg9ce,
had, in his mind, been simply Nlled
when no appropriation was made for
the money. He declared also that he
thought II was the intention Of the
supervisors to see, through him. II the
sheriff could be prosecuted for mis-
part in the matter. IF find man
has broken the law" stated tho ceun-
ty attorney, Il would at once prose.
cute him and would not come to the
board of supervisors to inform them
of the case. II did not prosecute
man whom thought was guilty OF
crime, then could be impeached."
Supervisor Yates asked the county
attorney If he did not think that the
board of supervisors deserved some
recognition and that when a com.
munication was sent by the solons to
the county attorney II he should not
do them the courtesy of replying, at
least.
81 thought you were asking me to
prosecute Sheriff Pua." again de-
clared the attorney. "1f you had ask
ed me II the demands of the police
officer we're legal certainly would
have replied at once"
we want advice" reiterated Cab
rinha. what about the condemnation
proceedings In connection with the
Richardson property on Front street?.
Il am preparing the papers In that
matter now" replied the county at.
torney.
Chairman Kauhane then took hand
and in q dignified manner stated that
he thought that where the board asks
for reports from the county attorney
the request should be granted, at
latest at the next meeting Of the board
after the request had been made.
The matter was then dropped and
the supervisors adjourned
