NY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LrAsHp WRIT

An Atlantic Port. June 22-An
American steamer which arrived here
in ballast today from a British
port. had a thrilling encounter
on June with a German sub
marine after the enemy boat had
fired torpedo at her which hit but
failed to explode. The submarine was
badly damaged by the fire of the
steamers gun crew and disappeared
after her periscope had been shot
iaway.
The steamers captain saw the wake
of the torpedo and after the impact
ordered his crew to the boats. The
submarine submerged, evidently be-
lieving that the torpedo had done its
intended work. The captain, the first
and second Officers and boatsWain
mates of the gun crew remained on
board the steamer. When the torpe-
do was seen to have failed to score,
the crew was ordered back from the
boats and the submarine reappeared.
The bluejackets went to the four-inch
guns fore and aft and fired rapidly.
The submarine, according to the cap
tain, came head on full speed and
then stopped, which interfered with
the range of the American gunners.
Smoke Rises From stern.
When 500 yards from the steamer,
the captain said, one of the shells
from the steamer hit the submarine
and she submerged. As she came up
second shot tore away her periscope
and another exploded on her back
Nineteen shots in all were fired by
the steamer. The crew said that light
blue smoke rose from the stern of the
submarine as it went down.
The captain said he remained in
the vicinity of the enemy for two
hours, but she failed to reappear He
sadi he was not certain that the sub
marine was sunk, but was certain
that her periscope was shot away and
her deck marked. The gun crew and
wireless operator declare that there
was no doubt that the boat was sunk.

WILSON WILL END
GOE ALS-DENMAN
CONTEST TODAY
President viii Give GoethalS
Authority and Direct Him to
Build Both Wood and Steel
Ships.
tsy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LsAsto w,asI

Washington, June 22.-The contest
between Chairman Denman of the
shipping board, and Major General
Goethals, manager of the boards
emergency fleet corporation, for au-
thority to exercise powers granted by
congress in providing merchant
fleet will be settled by President Will
son giving General Goethals the au-
thority, with directions that he build
all the ships possible, both steel and
wooden.
General Goethals will be authorized
to commander immediately all ship
ping now building, speed up its con-
struction and spend the 100000, 600
appropriated by congress for ship
building. Chairman Denman will re-
tain powers necessary for operating
and chartering ships and as president
of the fleet corporation will continue
to pass finally on contracts for con-
struction.
The power granted to the president
to commander steel supplies proba-
bly, will not be delegated to anyone
for the present. The government, it
is said, hopes to arrive at some ar
rangement as to steel prices which
will make it unnecessary to comman-
deer.
New Turn I'm Price Dispute.
The dispute over prices to be paid
for steel took a new turn today when
Chairman Denman asked the federal
trade commission to investigate the
cost Of steel manufacture, with view
to arriving at fair price, and Gener-
al Goethals requested the steel COM
mittee of the council Of national de-
fense to take the matter up. Mr..
Denman has baked at paying more
than $50 ton for steel and refused
to sign contracts made by General
Goethals calling for steel at ss5.
Mr.. Denman's action in requesting
the trade commission to determine
steel manufacturing costs was ex-
planned tonight in statement, saying
the shipping board desired some es-
tablished government agency to ar
rive at costs so that the individual
consumer might be protected against
a raise in prices which would come
when the government went into the
market for large quantities of steel at
low prices.
At the trade commissions offices,
it was said that the steel investigation
probably would be started Immediate
ly and that cost facts developed prob
ably would be used as basis for legis-
islation to be asked protecting indi-
vidual consumers from high prices.
Price Inquiry Coming.
Contracts will continue to be
signed with $50 as a tentative steel
price.
General Goethals saw President
Wilson today and later declined to
make any statement.
An inquiry into prices of steel, coal.
copper and other basic materials used
by the government for war purposes
was decided on today by the senate
interstate commerce committee.
Coal will be the first subject taken
