$4,000 IN BONDS
AND SECURITIES IN
- OFFICEAREST STOLEN
Half of the Paper Taken From
Quarters of Oswald & Clark
in He alley Building Is
Negotiable

Burglars entering the office of Perez
val " Oswald and ]. Calhoun Clark
1912 Healey building, opened the safe
used by the two men jointly and made
away with stocks and securities amount
ing to more than $4,000, according to
reports to police. Twenty-Five thou
sand dollars of the paper is said by Mr..
Oswald to be negotiable.
The burglary is supposed to have
taken place some time Sunday. 1t was
reported to the police Monday morning,
when the theft was discovered by Mr..
Oswald The police made it public
Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Oswald is president of the Ameri-
can Chemical and Mining company. Mr..
Clark is vice president of the same
company and representative of ma
chinery manufacturers. He is an uncle
of Mr.. Oswald and makes his home at
Charleston.
Mr.. Oswald reported 10 the police that
the safe was opened by persons after
they had broken into his desk and learn
ed the combiation, the figures of which
he kept written in a small book. He
said the safe was locked when he left
the office Saturday afternoon to go to
his home at sc Westminster drive. 1t
was locked when he opened it Monday
morning, he said, and he suspected moth
ing until he swung back the door and
discovered the drawers. and the safe
compartments unlocked.
There was only few dollars in money
in the safe, Mr.. Oswald stated, prac-
tically all the valuables being included
in stocks. bonds and notes, amounting
to more than $4,000.
Among the papers missing. he said
were $4,000 of Z per cent preferred
stock in the Durham Hosiery mills,
filled in with the name of Annie Martin
Huske, his sister-in-law. who lives at
Durham, N c.
There were a series of monthly notes,
he said, made payable to the American
Chemical and Mining company by the
Gainesville Limestone company, which
he said amounted to s20,50O.
Another series of notes payable to
P. V. Oswald by Lewis Oblinger amount
ed, he said, to several hundred dollars,
while another. note, payable to the
American Chemical and Mining COM
pany, by Mrs. p. V. Oswald, amounted
to $4,000. Various papers belonging to
both Mr.. Oswald and Mr.. Clark are
said to have been valued at $3.50, while
four Liberty bonds of the second issue
totalled $3.50. Finally, said Mr.. Oswald,
there was a note made payable to A. A.
Smith by the American Chemical and
Mining company, already signed, the
amount of which had not been filled in.
There is no clue to the burglary, &C
cording to the police, and it is thought
that the only way to apprehend the bur-
glars is through the markets in which
they are likely to attempt to dispose of
the securities.

COOPER DENIES CHARGES
MADE BY CHICAGO MAN
Will Be Given Hearing by Gov
ernor on EXtradition on
March 19

L. ]. Cooper. president of the First
National bank, of Waycross, former
member of the house of representatives
from Ware county, and one of the most
prominent men in south Georgia, tele-
graphed a statement to The Journal
late Monday afternoon in reply to the
charges of Simon Hamburg, the Chica-
go man who has sued out two criminal
warrants for him in that city, and OBJ
tanned a requisition for Mr. Cooper by
the governor of Illinois On the COVER
nor of Georgia.
Governor Dorsey will give Mr.. Cooper
hearing on the requisition at 10
o'clock next Tuesday morning, March
10, and Mr. Cooper will be here with
several prominent lawyers to resist ex-
tradition. 1t is understood that Ham
burg will also come here from Chicago
and bring his lawyer. An arresting Of
ficer has been in Atlanta with the requi-
sition since last Saturday
The controversy between Mr.. Cooper
and Hamburg grows out of a real es-
tate transaction. Mr.. Cooper bought
certain Chicago real estate from Simon
and Emma Hamburg and paid for the
same with bonds secured by south
Georgia lands. The Hamburgs claim
that the bonds were worthless. and
swore out warrants cha rging fraud and
confidence game" Mr.. Cooper charges,
in substance, that the Hamburgs tried
to swindle him and he defeated their
game by Withholding the titles to the
lands from record. His statement tele-
graphed to The Journal is as follows:
Answering your telegram in regard
to requisition for myself from Chicago,
the hearing of which has been set by
the governor on the 18th instant, l had
hoped that no statement by me would

the Chicago party has seen fit to try
the matter in advance, 1 will make
this brief statement.

tion as to the value of the Chicago
property developed on my attempt 10

ITO protect myself from a gigantic
swindle, l refused to place on record
my titles to the Clinch and Echols
county lands, and the lands underlying
the bonds. until the said Hamburg had
made good the misrepresented value of
the Chicago property, and when he
failed to do this l proposed in writing
TO call off the entire trade, leaving no
one hurt and restoring the status quo

ITO all of these propositions Ham
burg said no. and through his attor-
neys began a campaign of threats that

U. S. Transport Battles
And Sinks Submarine

AN ATLANTIC PORT, March IL
The story of a battle between an Amer
lean transport bound for Europe and a
German submarine was told here oy
members of the crew. who asserted that
the submersible's signal Surrender; we
are over-hauling you," was answered by
a direct hit from the American guns.
The German either sank or dived and
was seen no more.
The vessel was one upon which il was
charged at a hearing here last week that
Edward Otis. twenty-three, a native Ct
Riga. Russia, had tempered with the
steering device to prevent the trans
port zig-zagging. Otis. who was order
ed held under $4,000 bond on a charge
OF espionage, was a quartermaster on
the vessel. 1t also was said Otis had
falsely reported reading of the trans
ports log and had hristed her flag up
side down. Regarding the fight with
the lurking submarine the following
story was told:
The transport made the trip across
the Atlantic without special incident
until she neared the hostile zone. Then
her engine went wrong and she was
compelled to drop behind the convoy,
believing the trouble could be corrected
in a short time. But this was not the
case. and when the repairs were made
the lookout sighted submarine dead
astern less than mile away.
The transports stern gun was opened
up at the enemy craft. At this time
the undersea boat showed fight and,
remaining on top of the water, began
10 drop shrapnel shells on the transport.
Closing her shrapnel guns the sub
marine crew let loose a torpedo, but the
transport Unanswered in time to let
il pass, startlingly close to her stern. Let
ting loose again with shrapnel the Ger
man crew worked effectively, several
shots finding their mark. The crew Of
the transport were having trouble with
the range. To add to the transports
predicament the chief gunner had his
clothing nearly stripped from his body
N a hail of small she'll He was wound
ed in the leg.
a seventeen-year-old gunner took the
place of the wounded chief gunner and
proved himself equal to the occasion.
In the meanwhile the enemy craft had
pulled up to within 900 yards and sent
up the signal: Surrender; we are over
hauling you" The gun crew on the
transport answered with their first hit
Again came the signal: Surrender;
we are overhauling you!" from less than
500 yards, but the transport replied with
another hit, and the gunners swore they
would die lighting rather than give a
satisfactory answer to the challenge.
The shot that closed hostilities was a
direct hit, which landed fairly on the
periscope deck of the submarine, and
with it's bursting the undersea craft was
seen to dive or sink. The transport did
not linger to investigate the fate of the
enemy
