Unwritten Law at Last
 Recognized in England

London August 20-The "unwritten
 law" whereby a man may kill his wife s
 seducer, was recognized by an English
 jury today almost for the first time with
 in the recollection of the English public
 Unsuitable homicide in self-defense, 2
 was the verdict rendered by London coroner's jury in the case of Lieut. Doug las Malcolm, who shot and killed a for egner, Anton Baumberg, styling himself Count DeBorch.''
 Lieutenant Malcolm, who was wealthy
 young merchant before the war, returned
 on leave from France and found his wife with the so-called count. He attacked
 the count and afterwards challenged him to a duel, but the count ignored
 the challenge Malcolm visited the counts London lodgings and other lodgers testified to hearing a struggle followed by a revolver shot. They found the count" dead.
 After leaving the premises Malcolm sur rendered to the first policeman he met. ative to "Deborch's'' actions, but did not suggest self-defense in killing the man Malcolm wife admitted her delinquency 1t developed that "Deborch" was for a brief period in service with the officers training corps. but that he was under
 police suspicion of being an international spy and was listed by the police as a professional spy.

HOUSE MEMBERS WILL CONSIDER SH0RT-T|ME BONDS Not Enough War Bonds Authorized and Further
 Issues Now Seem
 Inevitable

Washington, August 2o.-The advisabil- ity of issuing for domestic needs, along with long term war bonds, a series of short term bonds payable in from three to five years, to prevent payment of high interest charges through a cheap money period which experts think may follow the war, will be discussed by the House ways and means committee when lit meets late this week.
 Such a plan is being agitated in Eng
 land, where interest rates have mounted rapidly and much English data on the resentative Hull of Tennessee, the House
 income tax expert, has been giving the proposal careful study and will lay it be- fore the committee
 Not enough war bonds for domestic needs have been authorized thus far to give the administration financiers much concern about their duration, but the realization that further issues are in- evtable have aroused interest in the short term bonds proposal.
 No attempt will be made to apply the short term plan to allied loan bonds unless the allies request it.
 General debate on the convertible bond
 ing system will be indulged in by the committee. Some members favor aban- doning the plan, holding that a sufficient ly high rate will be reached by the next issue to satisfy the investor.

Of the several coal war control plans suggested officials believe the President
 most likely will adopt the one calling for government requisitioning of the en- tire output of the mines and government sale of coal to the public. This pro gramne has the approval of the trade
 commission and of many other officials. An alternative would provide govern
 ment price fixing by the mines and by the jobbers and wholesalers, the coal ad-
 ministrator to keep watch on the indus try and to take over the business of any concern failing to abide by regulations
 The food bill gives the President pow CT to adopt either of these plans and authority to carry It out through any agency he may select. President Wilson visited the trade com
 mission for the second time within three days. He called Saturday for confer ence when he learned that the commis- sion had completed its report on the cost of producing coal. Today he made an other trip and asked for additional in- | formation. This was furnished and the commission called in David. Wing, it's coal expert, who explained the figures at length.

German Submarines
 Have Done Their Worst
 Think English Admiral

An Atlantic Port August 20.-Rear Ad- miral Hugh T. Hilbert of the British navy, who was familiar to Americans when the Lusitania was sunk as flag captain in command of the port of Queenstown, arrived here today on an armed merchantmen and Is on a special mission for the British admiralty
 T have watched the capes so long from the outside he said, "that I am mighty glad to be inside them at last For many months Admiral Hilbert was in charge of the fleet of bulldogs" that stood guard outside the port of New York and off Cape Charles and Cape Henry. He was then recalled to Eng land and later sent out on his present errand
 Although he has been in active service since the beginning of he war, he saio that he had never seen a German sub marine. As to the effectiveness of sub marine warfare, he said that while the situation called for unrelaxed vigilance and undoubtedly was serious he did not believe that it would be ever effectual.
 Personally he said, T believe that they have done their worst The nat ural wastage is very great and it does not seem possible that the Germans can continue to put out submarines at a rate to keep up their record
 Admiral Hilbert said he believed the Germans will not end the war without a great naval battle and expressed the opinion that they are holding back the navy as a last resort.
 T see by the papers that the Kaiser recently visited the fleet at Wilhelms. haven" he said, "and I am hoping tha, It foreshadows a move in that drec- tion.'

America Plans fo Build Destroyers
 to Stop Submarines

Washington, August 2o-Prelminary steps toward providing the navy with as many additional destroyers as American plants can turn out were discussed by Secretary Daniels today at conference with more than score of shipbuilders, engine makers and representatives of Gther industries.
 Information was submitted by the build- CTS as to what they could do ip the way of expanding their facilities, taxed to the limit of their present capacity with de- stroyers already under construction.
 Navy officials will study the reports and suggest a definite plan to make the United States first in destroyers. the arch enemy of the submarine.
 The main difficulty is to find facilities Aor turning out the engines. There are
