NG OF THE CALIFORNIA
INCREASES APPREHENSION.


Washington Feb. 7.-Consul Frost,
at Queenstown, cabled the State De-
partment tonight that the British pas
senger liner California ha dbeen tor
pedoed without warning of the Irish
Coast, and that the one American
known to have been on board was
saved. Some of the passengers and
crew still missing, including two wo-
men and severa lchildren.
Frost's dispatch was as follows:
Anchor Liner California has been
sunk; bound Glasgow, presumably
from New York. Two hundred per-
sons o nboard; one death; 80 hospital
cases; survivors reach here late to-
night"
The captain of the ship is quoted as
saying the submarine did not hail or
give any warning before firing two
torpedoes from a distance of 800 yards
and sending the California down.
The American survivor was John A.
Lee, Of Montgomery, Ala, who is sup

ton tonight came the report of the
sinking of the Anchor liner California

to determine whether the destruction
of the vessel constitutes the overt

into, the midst of the world war tur-
moiI.
At the White House there was SOL
emn deliberation and serious shaking
of heads. Every scrap of informa
ton as to the California sinking was
hurried to the President at once. The
momentous possibilities of the infor-
nation were apparent in the conduct
of every official.
All of the official data was contain

Frost at Queenstown, which the state
department declared was apparently
based on inadequate information. This
This contained no details of the Incl
dent, reported only one death. From
the New York offices of the Anchor
line came a report that 81 perished in
the disaster. Consul Frost was at
once directed tnsmake complete re-
port. President son and, his adj
yisers watched anxiousIy to deter
mine: -
Whether there were Americans on
board the California, and wheter any
| Americans were lost.
! Whether the vessel was sunk with
out warning"
| This latter question, the state de-
partment, declared. was the essential
element which must be present 10

ARRESTED ON CHARGE
SELLING SAILORS BOOZE

J. NJ, SILVER, a white man, was
arrested about 10 o'clock last night
by United States Marshal Jas. B.
Perkins, charged with furnishing
liquor to sailors in uniform. 1t is
claimed that at least three such sales
of liquor were made by the man.
1t was intended that he be given
a preliminary hearing last night, but
when it was found that the commits
sioner had left his office, the officers
decided to arrange a hearing for to-
day. 1t will probably occur at 10
o'clock this morning.
SILVER is said to have lately ar
rived in Pensacola from Dothan, Ala.
If the charge is sustained, he is in a
serious predicament, for there is no
record of any city, state or federal
license issued IN his name, so far as
could be ascertained last night.

Teachers Examination Papers Are

wholesale fraud is suspected. Mr..
Edwards has communicated the fact,
and the action aiken bv him, to w. N.
Sheats, state superintendent, who
will take any further action thought
necessary.
The fraud was suspected as soon as
the grading of papers was started,
as in many cases. it is stoted. answers
to questions were almost Identical.
This Immediately caused the grading

committee to believe that the teach
ers taking the examination had
copied from others.
The unusually good showing of
teachers whose work was known to
be poor, aroused further suspicious,
and it is feared that the examinations
were seen in advance, and the uues-
tjOns studied. While there are some
obviously not connected with the
fraud, it was thought best to deny
grades on all.
No further opportunity for exami-
nations will be given until next Fall,
when the regular examinations will
be held,
