Boston. Feb. 6.--The refugee Ger. built at a cost of S4, 500.00o, has been rendered useless for months by the disabling of her engines, it was dis covered today by Captain John B. Coyle. an engineer of tha~ United States coast guard sesYicS He report ed that his examination inditAted q deliberate attempt to cripple the liner
 The cylinders of the two high pres sure engines. according to inforrLatiolL from an authoritative source, were found 10 have been destroyed A piece of steel tbout three feet long was cut out of each cylinder. rendering the engines useless, and bolt heads fasten. ing the cylinder heads were knocked off Because the machinery was made in Germany, it was said that the damaged parts could not be duplicat- cd here and to use the steamer 1t would be necessary to install new en- zines.
 As a result of the discoveries de- cision was reached to attempt crimi- nal prosecution of those who may be found responsible for the damage. Tha kronprizessin Cecilie. through civil suits against her owners which are pending in the federal courts. was in nominal custody of the United States marshal from November. 1914. when she came here from Bar Harbor. Maine. until Saturday night, when Marshal John J. Mitchell took physi. cal possession of the vessel on the demand of New York banking insti- tutions which were the libellants Federal officers are understood to have agreed that under the eircum- stances the damage to the ship cons tituted an offense against the United States aud the matter was placed in the hands Of United States District Attorney eGcrge w. Anderson for prosecution.
 Electricians were still at work to- night endeavoring to discover wheth- CT any contriyance had been set up to cause further damage to the vessel The crew of the Cecilie was removed Saturday night, but had been allowed to visit the ship today. After Captain Coyle's findings. however. all were forbidden to come aboard
