INVENTION PERMITS
RAISING OF VESSELS
Washington, Ind, Man Has
Apparatus Making Deep
Lifting Possible.
News-Times Special Service E:

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Feb. I3.-An
invention. which il is said. will make
II possible TO raise ships that have
been sunk as deep as 5000 feet. has
recently been patented by James NJ.
Stafford Of Washington, Ind. Stat
ford is putting his invention on the
market with the aid of Henry J..
Graf and Arthur c. Stone Of this
city. The invention has been ap-
proved by the naval authorities and
patent has been extended to
European countries.
IL is impossible at present 20 raise
vessels that have been sunk 10 anv
great depth, as a diver can reach
only aout 200 feet beneath the sur
face. Stafford's invention consists
OF a tank or buoy placed on each
end Of a boat and 50 fastened that
when the boat sinks il will De re-
leased. A spindle on which a steel
cable of two dimensions is wound
is placed in the bottom of the buoy.
The heavier bale is attached TO the
boat and extends upward for a dis
lance of about 200 feet. To that is
fastened lighter cable. all Of which
in turn is wound on the spindle.
With the sinking Of the ship the
buoy rises TO the surface and as il
rises the cable is unwound so that
a line is formed between the surface
and the sunken ship.
When the rescue vessel arrives.
the buoys are released and a heavy
cable is slipped over the smaller
one leading TO the sunken ship and
lowered until the 200 feet of the
large cable is reached To this il
automatically fastens. The object
of the two different size cables is
that it makes it possible to wind up
more cable on the spindle and
saves weight. Large vessels are to
carry froII six 70 eight tanks. II
is said the invention will greatly
facilitate the raising OF sunken
ships.

MARINE INSURANCE
RATE IS ADVANCED

Washington, March 21,-A COM
pIete readjustment of rates charged
by the federal war risk insurance bu-
reau for insurance of American ves-
sells and cargoes, including an in
crease to three per cent on all ships
passing through the war zone, was
announced tonight. The changes fol-
low the extension of insurance to
many classes of contraband not here
tofore insured and are accepted as .
recognition of the virtual state of war
with Germany.
Until now the rates on vessels bound
for European ports through the war
zone have varied up to a maximum
of two per cent. The new schedule
makes the flat rate three per cent APP
plicable to all vessels and cargocs
that must pass through the subma-
rine zone, whether bound for bellig-
erent or neutral ports. 9
In the readjustment the rates be-
tween Atlantic ports are made twice
those that are in effect between
Pacific coast ports. Those between
the Atlantic coast and the West Indies
are twice those on Atlantic coastWise
trade and those to South America are
greater in about the same proportion,
The new rates, Notwithstanding the
increases, are considerably below the
rates charged by many private COM
panies, the latter in some instances
going as high as eight per cent.

TWO GE ERMAN SPIES
PLEAD GUILTY IN
FEDERAL COURT.

New York, March 21.--T'wo reasons
were assigned tonight by government
officials for the unexpected pleas of
guilty entered by Charles N. Wunnen-
berg and Albert o. Sender, indicted
for engaging in a snilitary enterprise
against power with which the Unit
ed States is at peace, in carrying on
which they sent spies to England to
obtain information for Germany.
One of the causes, it was said, was
the raid on their offices yesterday.
When what appeared to be blank
papers were treated with chemical
tablets dissolved in vinegar the au-
thorities found. they say, secret writ
ing in German.
The second cause was believed to
be the fact that a letter which one
of the defendants sent to friend
admitting "they had him right" came
into the possession of the government.
While the decision of Wunnenberg and
Sander not to stand trail has stopped
for a time a full exposure of their
plot. it is probable, it was said, that
some of their agents who are detan-
ed in neutral European countries may
be sent back here for trial.
