chased in San Francisco three weeks

set had been consigned to j. Garcia,
automobile driver and former corre-
spondent for a Mexican newspaper.
Garcia was arrested with two other
Mexicans, Miguel Triarte and Carlos
Sierda
Garcia, who said he was a victim
of circumstances, declared his two
companions arranged to have the boxes
of equipment delivered to him and
asked him to store it. He said he
had no knowledge of the contents Of
the boxes.
According to the officials the other
two prisoners insisted that the radio
set was intended for Governor Cantu
of Lower California but their claims
were not borne out. Governor Cantu
can obtain radio equipment without
secrecy, the officials said.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 3l.---A dar-
ing attack by Ger,ian submarine on
big British freighter, conveyed by
destroyers, the U-boat coming so close
to fire torpedo that guns could not
be trained on her, was reported by
members of the gun crew who arrived
today on the ship. The attack oc-
Cured about 500 miles off the coast
Of ireland, when the freighter was
bound for the United States. The
first indication of an enemy's pres

destroyer across the bow of the mer-
chantman. The next moment tor
pedo flashed straight at her bow, a
quick twist of the steering wheel turn
ing the vessei sufficiently to dodge the
missile.
The gun crew stood ready to fire at
the first ripple but to their amaze
ment, the U-boat emerged almost
alongside the ship, so close that the
freighter's gun could not be depressed
enough to cover aer. The destroyer
was unable to fire because the
freighter screened the submarine,
which disappeared beneath the waves
without attempting to fire shot
