SUBMARINE IS DOOMED
American Inventive Genius VIII Make
U-Boats Easily Located
ana DESTROYED.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-Impor-
tant progress has been MADE in the
problem OF locating submarines after
whtch their destruction is "A compara-
lively simple matter, Secretary Dam
iels said today in statement discuss
sing the four thousand separate sug-
gestions, plans or models of devices
submitted to the naval consulting
board since the United States entered
the war against Germany
The idea that the submarine will
be overcome by miraculous invention
is not now seriously considered" the
secretary said. The more intima te
knowledge the civilian obtains on this
subject the more convinced he Is that
the submarine can be conquered by
persistently hunting him down by the
weapon of which he is most afraid.
This is the armed service boat,
equipped with all the latest scientific
devices and typified in the modern
torpedo boat destroyer. Foreign naval
authorities have frankly stated their
admiration of the degree of perfection
of American designs.
In regard to the protection OF ships
against torpedo attacks, the unde-
niable evidence Of recent months of
submarine activity has demonstrated
that the immunity Of Il vessel depends
very largely on its speed and ma
neuvering ability. There is a possibility
that some artificial means of protect
ing carGo-carrylns vessels may be
found practicable. In no other field
have so many suggestions or so many
duplicate inventions been presented to
the board"

MINERS TO VOTE TONIGHT
ON AUTOMATIC PENALTY
Clause Termed Unwarranted and In
famous In Resolutions Adopt
cd ut Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 13.-Three
hundred delegates representing the
coal miners of three southwestern
districts of the United Mine Workers
of America in a convention here con-
sidering whether TO accept the auto
matte penalty clause" insisted on by
II. A. Garfield, federal fuel admins
traitor, late today adopted resolutions
characteriZing the clause as "unwar-
ranted" and Infamous" Adoption Of
the resolution was the principal busi-
ness accomplished at today's session.
night session was opposed ON the
ground that the action to be taken on
the penalty clause would require
much discussion.
Officials tonight believed, however.
a vote would be reached tomorrow or
at the latest, at a night session tomor-
row night.
Rejection Of the Automatic penalty
clause in favor of the recently signed
kansas City agreement" 1t is be-
lieved, would result in the almost i'm
mediate calling of strike thruout the
three districts, which comprise the
states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
The automatic clause provides for
automatically filming either miners or
operators responsible for unnecessar-
lily closing down coal mine. The
Kansas City agreement would as

SPY RUMOR IS NAILED
'" crctary Tumulty ENplodcs Story Of
His Being German Agent,
Spread Turnout West

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-Newspa-
per offices, the government depart
ments ana even the White House it
self have been bombarded recently
by queries from many sections OF
the country concerning preposterous
stories about Secretary Tumulty.
Usually the questioner wants to know
whether IT is true that the presidents
secretary has been sent to Fort
Leavenworth as a spy.
Now Mr.. Tumulty is hearing from
his friends on the subject and tonight
he authorized this statement at the
White House:
For several days friends have writ
all parts OF the country stating that
rumors are being assiduously spread
alleging that | have been imprisoned
at Fort Leayenworth. All sorts Of
fanciful tales are being passed from
mouth to mouth by innocent persons
who are the victims of systematic
and insidious propaganda to weaken
confidence In officials OF the federal
government. Officials OF the depart
ment of justice are investigating the
origin OF this conspiracy to determine
who have been guilty of actually
starting this falsehood."
No one has been able to account for
the circulation OF these reports Most
of them have come out of the middle
west and apparently have been spread
from one end of the country to the
other.

ingly scarce and prices were so high
it was impossible to pay them. Nearly
the entire population was awaiting the
arrival of Kerenshy troops to be re-
lieved of the terrorism.

Tulsa Business Section
Has Been Stolen.

Enough black powder and dyna-

section of Tulsa was stolen Monday
night from the Brown x Likes coal
mines at Dawson by persons who
hauled their booty away in a large
automobile truck.
According to officials of the mine,
twenty 25-pound kegs of powder.
twenty sticks of dynamite, one hun
dred feet of fuse and one hundred
caps were stolen by the robbers. -thot
by the mine operators to be |. w. w.
members who were responsible for
the theft from the Kansas Torpedo
company of more than sixty quarts
of nitroglycerin last week.
ITS enough dynamite and powder
to blow up the business section of
Tulsa and have some left for the resi-
dental section declared an employs
at the mine yesterday when he
brought the report of the theft to the
city. He declared that the persons
who slipped into the Brown & Likes
minehouse were well acquainted with
the works as they had little trouble
in locating the supply, which had been
left outside the powder house by
workmen who had been shooting
some banks, and who had not COM
plNi'h llltll JOD WHtH tdlitu
work in the evening.
Not satisfied with the quantity
stolen from the mill, an effort was
made by the robbers to break open
the powder house of the Seneca Coal
company in which a carload of dyna-
mite and powder had just been un-
loaded Monday SO anxious were the
robbers to get this supply and load
their automobile truck that in their
efforts to break open the door the en-
tire building was moved four inches
off of the line of the foundation.
You can put it down that the par
ties who took the stuff know how to
use it," said the employe of the mine.
"You can't sell it and they either
wanted to do some shooting for an
other company, or to get rid OF some
buildings and people who stand in
their way"
An incident which may have some
bearing on the theft of the dynamite
and powder was the appearance at
the Brown and Likes mine yesterday
morning of three men who announced
that they were going to work, wheth-
er they were wanted by the company
or not, and that they expected TO get
$500 Gay for their work, that of
driving a team. They were imme-
diately ordered from the mine COM
pany's grounds. and corps of guards
were put out, working in shifts, part
In the daytime and a part ut night.
"We're not expecting trouble out at
Dawson" the employe continued. "but
If 1t comes-well, there are fellows
out there who would just as soon take
little time off to fight as not"
Tracks of large automobile truck
in the road Indicated that the rob-
bers came after their supply of pow
der and dynamite well prepared to
transport it to the place they had Sc
lected.
