AMERICAN CREW
OF II ALL SAFE

LONDON, March I4-The American
steamer Algonquin fell Uictin, Monday to the
German ruthless submarine warfare.
All of her creW of u Were saUed, ac-
cording to official adUices received by the
American embassy from the American con-
sui at the port .Dhere they .pere landed.
The Algonquin tDas attacked without
lUarning-by she'll fire from the German
U-boot.
After her creU had taken to the Hfeboats,
the German commander sent a detachment
of his men aboard the Algonquin. They set
bombs which sank the ship.
Reports indicate that the submarine re-
fused assistance to the Aigonquin's crew
after they had taken to the boats.

Gill SURRENDERS
TO BlLLINCSLEY
after WARNING

That Mayor Gill was told of the existence
of a state subpoena for all the Billingsley
papers on August 80, 1916, while he was still
in Chief Beckingham's Office and that he
stormed out of the office without doing any
thing to prevent Logan Billingsley taking the
papers away, was the testimony of Cap
tain Chas. Sullivan, secretary of police, in
booze-graft conspiracy trial Wednesday
morning.
1t was the first bit of direct confirmation
of Logan Billingsley's story of how the
mayor acted when Chief Rockingham pro-
tested that the papers were under subpoena
and that the mayor knew about the sub
poena before Logan was allowed to take the
papers away the day of the compromise.
