general cargo for Italy and our vessel
was unarmed." he declared. 1.-THE sub
marine halted us with a shot across the
bows and ran up the signal to take to
the lifeboats. We did and several shots
were fired at the Palermo. They did not
take effect. however. and a torpedo was
sent into her side. She sank within a
few minutes.
whether the fact that he had to use
a torpedo to send our vessel to the bot
tom angered the German commander I
do not know. but the underwater boat
came directly alongside of our lifeboats.
The commander was on the deck and
yelled, Where is the captain Of that
ship The captain stood up and made
his way closer to the side where the
German was standing.
The German held his revolver close
to our captains head. You'll never
bring another ship across this ocean,
he said, using several oaths, then pulled
the trigger. Our captain fell dead and
we were permitted to continue. After
about seven hours we made our way
into port in Spain"
Brown said ne was on the I.eyland
liner Messiah when that vessel was sunk
In the Mediterranean Sea in March.
Twenty eight, he said, were killed by the
explosion and the survivors were In the

SECRET MAIL
FROM TEUTONS
SEIZED HERE
Large Batch of Unstamped
Correspondence Comes by
Neutral Steamship.
THREE SAILORS INVOLVED
Federal Agents Believe They
Are on Track Of Spies
Working Here.
THREE SAILORS INVOLVED

The ease with which 1t ls possible
Tor German agents In this couii-
try TO send secret information to
Germany and the other Central Powers
was revealed yesterday when a great
mass OF unstamped correspondence said
to have been brought over by a neutral
steamship which arrived in New Yorl;
Tuesday was seized by agents of the
Department OF Justice.
The tip on the manner in which the
letters and information were being
smuggled into the United states came on
Wednesday when an official of the
Transatlantic Trust Company of 81
william street telephoned to the Office
or United States Attorney Cafrey and
told him sailor from the steamship
had Just delivered a large parcel Of un-
stamped correspondence in the bank
building Agents were Immediately des-
patched to the building, where, II Is
said, the letters were found and further
information obtained concerning the
method OF operating the spy mail SER
vice.
Three sailors InterroEated.
Later in the day three sailors were
taken from the ship and hustled to the
Federal Building. where they were sub
Jected to long and exhaustive exam
ination by Government officials. Just
what disposition was afterward made OF
the men has not been made public, but
1t Is very possible that shortly they will
be arraigned before a United States
Commissioner. 1t is suggested that they
may be charged with violation Of the
postal laws or with conspiring to con-
duct an unauthorized mail agency on a
mail ship.
An almost impenetrable veil of Sc
crecy was thrown about the whole case
by Federal officials yesterday, but from
one II was learned that the seized let
ters are being translated as rapidly as
possible and that any steps that NAV
be taken will depend largely upon what
Is contained in the smuggied mail
we certainly intend to follow this
thing to the bottom. and II there Is any
way OF doing II we propose to end for
all time this wide open leak that per-
mits secret information to reach the
country's enemies and In turn to be sent
here"
Three Banks Suspected,
Federal agents have known for the
past two years that secret mail from
Germany and Austria Hungary has been
smuggled regularly to at least threa
banking houses In this city that have
close Affiliations with the Central Pow
ers Likewise it has long been known
that an officer Of the German Chamber
or commerce has been on the favored
secret mail list and has had no trouble
IN getting any and all the information
that he wished to and from GERMANY
julius Printer, president of the
Transatlantic Trust Company, refused
Yesterday to discuss the smuggling of
the unstamped mail.

particularly in Congress, in favor OF a
reorganization OF the present machinery

duty of running down spies. Should
the President not move in this direction
himself II is likely that Congress NAV
take a hand and at least suggest to the
executive department the advisability
OF strengthening this branch of the SER

The entire work of spy detection rests
at present upon the Department of Jus.
tiCe. At its head is A. Bruce Bielaski
chief OF the division OF Investigation of
that Department Naturally the actiyi
ties OF this division are kept carefully
guarded from the public. There is a
feeling that the German spy system is
working overtime and with much greater
smoothness than before war was de-
clared.
The Department of Justice began It's
work at the time OF the German plots.
This country was then neutral and the
members OF this system were able To
work much more openly and without
endangering their lives. Consequently
their activities did not present anything
like the problem that the Government
faces now.

The concern felt in Congress regard
ing the activity OF the spy system was
voiced to-day by Senator Tillman.
chairman of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, who expressed the belief
that there we're a number OF "scoundrels"

were engaged In getting information
to Germany regarding this country's war
moves.
There is nothing that Congress can
do In this matter just now that see,"
said Senator Tillman. '1t Is a matter

Navy Yard is suspected OF letting out

In congressional circles the opinion

Carter seemed to know that wedding
was impending and they anticipated an
elaborate ceremony. None Of the close
friends of the young woman could ever
recall having heard her say that she
intended to marry the namesake OF the
head Of the Gould millions, but they took
1t for granted that 1t was only a question

Mrs, Gould was graduated from the
Freehold High School in 1914 and her
circle Of friends included a large part
OF the girl population OF the immediate
section. They ev!nced the liveliest In
terest in her romance from it's incep-
tion.
George J. Gould, Dr., was the only
member of his family TO attend the we'd
ding on Monday Of his brother Kingdom
and Miss LutccL His sympathy and
support OF his brother was noted when
he appeared at st. Patrick's vestry to
aid Kingdom in matrimonial venture
that did not attract the attendance OF
the remaining members Of the house Of
Gould.
Mrs Gould is described by her
friends as being blond and pretty. She
is OF medium stature, graceful and fond
OF outdoor sports. She was always the
centre OF attraction at the neighbor-
hood dances.
There was nothing ostentatious about
the preliminaries leading up to the we'd
ding. Shortly after noon young Mr.
Gould and Miss Carter walked to the
City Hall in Philadelphia. They went
to the fifth floor, where marriage
licenses are issued. and took their places
in the line wherein a number of other
persons we're waiting TO procure the
official sanction to wed.
DR.. Coleman identified Mr. Gould
when he finally appeared before Chief
Clerk Ferguson. When the clerk had
given him the precious document, Mr..
Gould walked with Miss Carter to DR..

from the City Hall. DIR. Chalfonte is
known at the City Hall as the marry
Ing parson."
Miss Carter wore simple travelling
gown of serge.
AT the License Bureau Mr.. Gould said
he was 2l years OF age and gave his oc-
cupation as that of a capitalist.
