1t is expected that Ben Jacobs will
be the first witness to take the stand
when the jury reconvenes Jacobs Is
and has been throughout the probe one
OF the star witnesses. A well-grounded d
new evidence TO present to the inquisi-
tors. The Importance of Jacobs's testi-
mony cannot be underestimated AS a
matter OF fact. one of the members OF
the jury made this statement: "It is
very probable that il Jacobs had not
had his ear bitten of the investiga
ton would not have been called and
this welfare campaign might not now
be in progress"
When asked for his opinion Of the
vice campaign now being formed for a
fight TO the finish. Commemorative At
torney Wise made this statement:
Whatever suggestions are made 70.
the cleaning up OF Richmond morally
that are proper and practical will have
my hearty Endorsement and support.
Let the campaign begin at once"
In official circles the consensus Of
opinion Is that the report OF the grand
jury will be turned in TO the court the
latter part of this week. probably on
Thursday or Friday. That this report
will be bombshell in many quarters
is confidently predicted. 1t is expected
that the jury will return indictments
against policemen and private citi-
zens. Moreover. the custer law will
be invoked in number OF cases where
offenses have not been OF sufficient
gravity to warrant an Indictment Also
that the grand Jury will turn in q
drastic report. recommending immedi-
ate and thorough enforcement OF the
law and pointing out where there has
been laxity and negligence of duty. Is
generally expected.

MOTHER SHIPS
ARE WITH SUBMARINES

Practically all Of the navy officers
now have concluded that long-range
U-boats, attended by mother ships. are
operating off the coast. They do not
believe 1t Is the least probable that
they are working from a base along
the North or South American coasts.
II was said to-day that many navy
officers believe the submarines are op.
Grating in patrols and are systemati-
calIy feeding one another with what
ever plumber they may obtain. The
theory now is advanced That the first
submarines. reported several months
ago, were merely advance scouts. pick
ing out the line OF travel Of the un-
protected merchantmen from the South
and then reporting for a campaign
against these craft and whatever safe
pr,zes they might get. No two sub
marines have been seen at once. and
i, figured that each Of the raiders
had a section about 200 miles square
or the coast TO patrol for her opera
tions.

WASHINGTON. June l6-Two Nor

sunk Friday night about ninety miec
OF tho coast. and her crew OF fifteen

Members Of the crew were landed a:

of-war and is now on its way TO an
Atlantic port.
The Navy Department issued only
brief notice Of the sinking. II has not
yet received any additional informa-
tion regarding the size OF the crew, or
whether there were any passengers
aboard The vessels. It is believed there
were no persons on board other than
the crow.
This attack. following the shellinE
OF the British steamer keemun on
Thursday evening. seemed TO eliminate
all possible theories that the recent
raids along the Atlantic coast were
made by only one submarine. Opinion
has been somewhat divided up to the
present. some navy experts holding
to tho belief that q single undersea
crate could have accounted for al! OF
the nineteen vessels sent TO the bot
tom. even including the ili-fated Cy-
c!opn. But the shelling OF the Kee-
nun and the sinking OF the Samoa oc-
curred>at points about 200 miles apart
and within about twelve hours Of
each other. This would have precluded
the possibility OF the same submarine
having participated in both encounters
say the navy men.
The Navy Department had not re-
ceived any further details Of tac at
tack on the Krinsjaa UP TO midnight.
and II was stated that no more infoi-
nation was expected before Tomorrow
The fact that the announcement said
"all survivors" had been picked up.
led to the belief here that some mem
bers Of the bark's crew were unac.
counted for.
The date OF the sinking was not
given. Navy officers are particularly
interested in this feature. as II will!
enable them 20 more accurately de-
tcrmine the character of the operations
OF the U-boats.
The fact that .he attack occurred
only ninety miles OF the Virginia coast
leads TO the belief that 1t took place
as late as Saturday, or possibly to-day.
Had the bark been sunk earlier than
Saturday. reports probably would have
been received before tonight. it is
