 VOTES TO SELL
 SCHOOL $ LAND

Voting nearly two-to-one in favor of selling the Center street school block, the people of first Phoenix school dis Iilct yesterday came to the polls to the number of 1243. Of this number two voted blank ballots, making a total of 1241 ballots cast and counted. Of. this number Sl0 voted to authorize the sale of the property and 431 voted to retain it for Civic Center.
 The next step will be to advertise for offers for the property In the adver- tisemeHt the. school board will probah- ly ask an upset price of S2l0.U00 and sum over that amount. The terms will be practically cash, considered as a business proposition.
 While the Civic Center advocates did not win today, as forward looking cit izens hoped they would, they are far from discouraged for they anticipated the result In fact there was no sur prise over the result at all.
 It was easily predicted soon after the opening of the polls that, the proposi- tion to sell would be carried. The work CTS in front of the school building were all for the proposition. The laws re- lating to school elections seemed to have been suspended. No check was exercised as to those ~~esenting them selves at the polls They may have an been parents of children of school age or they may have been payers of taxes exclusive of poll tax but little curiosity regarding those necessary qualifica- tions was manifested.
 4 feature of the election was the ac- tivity of Colonel Frederick Douglass Gardiner in bringing out the colored population to vote away the property.

ATTEMPT MADE TOSCUTTLE
 TORPEDO bOAT DESTROYER
 IN PHILADELPHIA NAVY YARD
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wireI

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 3.-An at tempt was made today to scuttle the United States torpedo boat destroyer Jacob Jones by opening several of her sea cocks at the Philadelphia navy yard. according to unofficial but re- liable reports. Officials at the yards refused either to confirm or deny the reports, pointing out that upon in structions from Washington, strict censorship had been placed upon all activities at the navy yards through out the country.
 An officer of the Jacob Jones, it was said. found that the ship was listing heavily to port as she was being towed from her anchorage in the Delaware river to a dock and all persons aboard were detained and questioned The chief machinist's mate whose identity was not disclosed, was arrested and placed in irons on one of the battle ships Whether the prisoner is a Ger man sympathizer or a fanatic is not known.
 More than two feet of water was in the hold Of the Jones when it was dis covered that her sea cocks had been opened. They were quickly closed and two government tugs assisted in Warpirg the destroyer in her dock.
 The local navy yard virtually was placed upon d war basis today.
 Early tonight the interned German auxiliary cruisers kronprinz Wilhelm and PTinZ Eitel Friedrich were seized by order of the navy department and their crews imprisoned in an isolation barrack. The seizure was followed by the placing of an armed guard at the yard entrance, while marines were as signed to patrol the Landslide limits O, the government preserve. Motor boats and other light craft with machine guns board patrOlled the rivers and prevented vessels from remaining within prescribed limits. Commandani Russell issued orders recalling shore leave of all marines and sailors. Nisi- tors to the yard were strictly forbid den.
 Dsregarding the new sea peril an- nounced by Germany, four steamers, one flying the American flag, laden with munitions and other rich cargoes destined for the war zone. sailed from were today. They are the British ships Mendip Range for Leith and Saxoline for Havre; the Italian liner Italia for Genoa and the Norwegian ship Admralen for Liverpool. Among the half dozen steamers that cleared for foreign ports was the American tanker Gold Shell for Bordeaux and Rouen, France.
