III LEAGUE ISLAND NAVY YARD
Police Relieve Atfcmpt Part Of Move
ment by GERMAN Sympathisers
In Pennsylvania

Philadelphia. Mar. 20.--Ten Ger
man sailors from the interned Ger
man boats In the League Island navy
yard are today at large. according
to the belief OF police here. BY patch
Ing up conflicting stories OF four re-
captured men. the police were led
to the belief that IA tried to swim
their way to liberty in the icy waters
last night.
Police here believe the attempt to
get away was not confined to the
men themselves nor even to the cap
tains OF the crews. but that It was
part OF q general movement on the
part Of the scores OF Philadelphia
Germans or German sympathizers to
lIberate the men. This belief is sup
ported by the fact that n number OF
names were found on the four men
who were recaptured and who are de-
taiaed In. the barracks Of the naxy
yard today. suffering from exposure.
The name OF Richard Stein was
found on one OF the captured sailors.
The names Of Ave other Philadel-
phians. five German Americans In Jer-
sey City and nine in Hoboken we're
also found on the captured men. It
is believed by local oficials that these
addresses were given the wouldLbe
fugitives to indicate places Of refuge.
These names and addresses. kept
secret by the navy yard officials, will
be turned over to government agents.
who will investigate the suspects.
An investigation Is also being made
today OF the cutting Of a trolley-fed
wire near the navy yard. This was
done shortly after the men made their
escape. The broken wire prevented
trolleys from League Island moving.
A feed wire which furnished light to
a restaurant Just outside the navy
yard was also mysteriously cut.
