Unconfirmed Report Spread
Over City Four Submarine
Sailors of German Blood Ar
rested; Captain Clark Says
He Knows Nothing Of It

Are thereyfour United 4States sub.
marine sailors under arrest and in
double irons at the naval camp al
Pearl Harbcr for attempting to sink
one or more of Uncle Sans under-sea
craft stationed there?
Has anyone been arrested for any
such offense? Is there any indication
of such attempts? Or was a general
rumor to that effect which has been
going the rounds last night and this
morning merely gerni1ated in a fer.
tile brain, one of the many rumors
found baseless?
Il know nothing Of it, said Capt.
Clark Of the naval station, Pearl Har.
Dor. Is
A general statement of the stories
being circulated is this: -Four mem
bers of one of the submarines crew
had made preparations to open the
bilge cocks. They were of German
parentage. They have been arrested
and are in irons.
Sidelights on the story include one
statement that there were only three
arrested and another that but one was
taken, he having punched three or
four holes In the armor Of one of the
submarines.
The submarine story was connected
In way with action taken by naval
authorities following instructions from
Washington to allow no one in the
yards other than officials, employees
and those with the proper authority.
All Are Examined
When the Z a. m. work train en-
tered the naval reservation yesterday
morning it was stopped and every pas
senger inspected before the workmen
at the station we're allowed to get off
or before the train could proceed to
Watertown.
It was said that this action had been
taken in order either to catch men
who had tried to destroy the .submar.
inc or to stop persons with such in
tentions, but Fred c. Smith, general
passenger agent Of the Oahu Railway,
says he believes the inspection is
merely In accord with Instructions. 1t
was made again this morning.
One man said IN regard to the ru-
NOR that he had 1t on information from
most credible sources that four men
had been actually arrested at Pearl
Harbor for atteml ting to damage one
of the little ships.
