THE U-BoAT MENACE.
GERMAN RAIDERS EXPECTED TO
LURK OFF COAST.
American Navy Will Wage Offensive
and Defensive Campaign Against
German Submarines

Washington, June THE possi-
bility that German submarines are
lurking off the Atlantic coast here
after must be regarded as continu-
ing factor in American war measures
in the opinion of many naval officials.
They believe that the present raid n
practically certain to be followed by
others and that it will never be safe
again to assume that American wa
ters are free of this menace as long
as the u-boats are at large.
Besides vigilant guard at home,
unremitting efforts against the sub
marines at the points of egress is the
antidote favored here. A carefully
planned campaign, having both offen-
sive and defensive phases, is known
to have been approved long ago and
probably now is we'll under way.
An indication of the deadly work of
the allied and American fleets I'm
European waters was given today
when Senator Swanson of Virginia
stated that according to information
furnished the naval affairs commit
tee. so per cent. of the submarines
constructed by Germany have been
destroyed.
Monthly totals of tonnage destroy
ed by u-boats continue to decrease.
While some officials are Of the opin-
ion that this is due to no small sx-
tent to better systems of convoy and
other protective steps others believe
the diminishing number Of subma-
rnnes in active service lis the basic
factor. Secretary Daniels said the
percentage quoted by Senator Swan
son represented the best opinion of
our naval officers"
"Of course" he added, 1.-The actual
number Of submarines put out of ac-
ton will not be made public"
The coast patrol forces today still
were searching vigorously for the
raiders. Precautions will be steadily
increased and no relaxation of vigil
lance will follow even when It de-
veiops that the u-boats have headed
for home.
There are many puzzling things
about the raid. The reluctance Of the
raiders to expose themselves to any
possibility Of attack was again de-
monstrated with the British Kappa
THAN which went down by torpedo of
the Virginia capes before the subma-
rine showed itself. Apparently the
German got close enough to deter
mine that he had an armed craft to
deal with then took no chances, but
used one of his carefully conserved
torpedoes.
Some officers think the raid was
planned to obtain Information as well
as to sink craft in American waters
and that the commanders have orders
to bring home report without rislking
their vessels. Such information as he
may have been able to gather, it was
argued, would be of value If it was
planned to send similar craft out from
coast line, always with the possibiI-
ity that laden transport or two
could be bagged.

MRS. GLENN AGAIN |S ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH MANSLAUCHTER

Her freedom shOrtlived, Mrs. May Glenn, who shot and killed her hus- band at a Christmas night party at their home and was exonerated by z coroners jury, was arrested yesterday on the charge of manslaughter.
 George O. Brisbois. chief of police swore to the complaint before Justice De SouZa, where the defendant was arraigned. Her bond was placed at s10,000 which she made no attempt to furnish
 Mrs. Glenn will be given her prelim- mary hearing at o'clock Monday af- ternoon. Her sister will arrive from Fl Paso to be here in time for the preliminary.
 County Attorney L. M Laney de- clared yesterday that if he failed to prosecute Mrs. Glenn he would be lack ing in his duty. He stated that whiie he respected the facts which developed at the inquest, a coroner's jury is not instructed as to the law and he felt the case deserved the attention of the court.
 No one can do a killing in Mari copa county, no matter how justi- liable, without coming before a com hitting magistrate,' said Laney on learning the verdict of the jury, which had been impressed by the story told of the dead mans cruelty and abuse of his wife. Mr. Laney, after investi- gating the case, drew up a complaint in the west precinct ooLrt charging Mrs. Glenn with manslaughter.
 Inquiry into the jurisdiction of the complaint will be made by W. E. Ryan, who represented Mrs. Glenn. The fact that the alleged crime was con- mitted in the east precinct where the inquest was held will be pointed out by the attorney who will question the change when the matter comes up before Justice De Souza.
 MT. Ryan was surprised when It. learned the regular channel of prose cution had been changed" This prac- tice has been indulged in frequently according to the records out the propriety has not been argued in courts in any cases of moment. It Is under stood that the argument will wax in teresting from remarks pas s5ed by counsel.

R|CH C|N|VABAR ORE
 VEIN |s UNCOVERED

There is on exhibition at the assay office of J. A. Porterie a section of q vein of clnebar which is worth going to sec. It has a thickness of six inches and is 90 per cent quicksilver It was taken from the mine of Jeter and Larsen a half mile north the Christy quarry. nine miles north of the city and two miles this side of the Mercury mine of Porterie, of which favorable mention is made in bulletin by F. F. Schrader of the United States Geolog- ical survey.
 At that time there was no Jeter and Larsen mine. This ore was found at a depth of 76 feet after the miners had gone through eight feet of quicksilver ore averaging about 3 per cent. The vein goes on indefinitely and no doubt there will turn out to be a great deposit of it.
 A vein of rich ore was found on the surface, but due to "fault' 1t was lost But the owners knew that it would be found somewhere and con- tinued their working. This property as well as the other mercury mines above, are of easy access to Phoenix ase they are traversed by the old Camp Creek road.

All ARRANGEMENTS
 MADE FUR OPENING
 IF SCHOOLS MONDAY

After an enforced idleness of F weeks, due to the influenza epidemic, the public schools of this city will re- open December 30. Special arrange ments have been perfected by the board of education which will eliminate as far as it is humanly possible to do so all danger attendant upon the congregation of the pupils.
 All the necessary preparations have been made looking to a resumption of the course of study, according to an announcement made last evening by Professor John D. Loper, superinten- dent of the public schools. The entire teaching staff of each of the various units is intact and the methods planned to recover the ground lost during the past three months have been carefully worked out.
 A number of measures designed to safeguard the health of the students have been taken. Every classroom has been carefully cleaned and fumigated During school hours nurses will be in each room watching the pupils for signs of illness. At the first indica- tion of sickness the student will be sent home and kept under close obser- vation.
 It is not believed that a recurrence of the epidemic is likely, but no pre- caution is to be overlooked which will insure the health of the student body. The health authorities and physicians agree that the disease is practically stamped out in the community. The decision to resume the school period was not made definitely until this in- formation was obtained.
 Originally, it was planned to reopen the schools on December 16. At that time the situation here was doubtful and the opening was postponed two weeks. That this decision was wise is evidenced by the experience of other cities. In many cases, in fact, in all most every instance. the schools had to be closed again. It is believed that by waiting a little longer and giving the epidemic a chance to fully subside this course will not become necessary here.
 For the remainder of the school pe- riod there will be no more holidays In the grammar schools the regular work will be pursued on Saturdays in order that the time lost may be re- gained. Owing to the cores pondence work which was carried on in the high school, this institution will not pre- scribe Saturday study periods for the present. The trustees will observe the

DEATH GIVES FATHER
 HIS CHILDREN AGAIN

His children returned to him by death, William T. McClendon yesterday resumed the responsibility of a parent which has been denied him since di- vorced from his wife in July, 1917.
 When he learned that his former wife had passed away, McClendon de- clared his intention of assuming the custody of his eight minor children if permitted by the courts. With his at torney, George H. Crosby, McClendon appeared before Judge Lyman yester- day and asked to be appointed guar dian of his own children which right was given him by the court. Virgil Bushman was appointed guardian of the children's estate valued at s2,25O.
 After divorcing McClendon, Mrs. McClendon married again. During her lifetime the children lived at the home of their step-father, but they will now reside with their father in Calexico. The family formerly lived in Mesa where it's members are well known. One of the minor sons, Elmer, is in the service, and the other children Edith May, Celeste, James, Emma.

DENIES REQUEST ID REVOKE LICENSE IF
 INSURANCE AGENT

The state corporation commission yesterday issued an order in the mat ter of the complaint of Claude B. Bur son against l. J. Johnson, district man. ager of the New York Life Insurance company, asking for a revocation of the license of the respondent on ac- count of the violation of the law of the state with reference to the acceptance of applications for insurance from per sons not licensed agents. The majority order disnisses the complaint. A dis senting opinion was rendered by Chair man F. A. Jones.
 The complaint alleged that the re- spondent had accepted from H. Her wig, who was not an agent of the com pany, the application of Walter Sexton for a policy.
 This was admitted by the respondent who said that Herwig had formerly been an agent of the company, but had left its service to take employment with the National Bank of Arizona. He had asked to be made again part time agent, but the respondent sug- gested that he had better wait until he saw how much time his duties in the bank would leave him for work for the insurance company.
 Later he brought in the application for the Sexton policy, and the respond ent said that he had directed that a contract be made with Herwig to give him the necessary status as agent. The contract was made out and placed on the desk of the respondent where it was covered up with other papers and ! for time forgotten. HerWig did not call to sign it.
 Later the respondent said the com 1 plainant and w. F. Van Meter, agents, | called and said that Sexton was a pros | pect of theirs and objected to the al ! lowance of credit to Herwig. The re- | spondent said that he told them that they would be given credit for the in surance and the privilege of renewals and the 'Nylic," but that Herwig should be allowed a commission out Of ! the first premium The respondent
 said that the violation of the law was inadvertent. There was introduced an affidavit from Herwig confirming the statment of his relation to the respon-
 dent and explaining why he had not come to sign the contract.
 This state of facts seemed to be
 agreed to, and the majority commission
 held that there had been no intent to violate theflaw. In his dissenting opinion Commis-
 sioner Jones said that the violation of
 the law was plain; that it must be pre-
 sumed to have been Wilful and that
 the law itself clearly prescribes the
 duty of the commission in such cases.
