AN ATLANTIC PORT, February IL
Captain William Johnson and five other
ofhcers and the twenty bluejackets who
made up the gun crew Of tn. American
steamship Actaeon. torpedoed off the
coast of Spain last Thanksgiving night.
bcrs Of the crew were left in Spain but
Will be returned to the United States
as soon as a ship is available.
Captain Johnson. whose home Is in
California, said that his ship was tor
pedoed without warning a. Z o'clock,
and within two minutes water reached
the cngine-room and the lights went
out. He Immediately ordered the men
into the four boats, and they put OF.
separating for fear Of being shclled by
the submarine, which. 70 this time no
one had seen. Captain Johnson's boat
reached Camarinas. Spain. two days
later. and within three days TWO other
boats had landed. The boat commanded
by Engineer John Murphy was twelve
days at sea before it vas picked UP by
a Spanish ship. The men ruffercd Sc
vercly from hunger and cold. and four
of them died.
Arthur B. Bord!ey, of Baltimore. the
third officer. commanded "A boat in
which were ten men. They pulled
away from the sinking ship. and in
few minutes came up alongside the
submarine, which turned scarchl:ght
full upon them. Bo:dley was ordered.
in perfect English. to take six OF his
rren on board the underwater boat He
was taken below and closely ques-
toned concerning the land and naval
forces of the United states, while half
Z dozen seamcn from the submarine
made repeated trips to the sinking
Actaeon and carried away all nautical
instruments and such stores AS they
wanted.
The submarine captain. Bordlcy de-
clarcd served him with wine and
cigarettes while questioning him, and
when he refused all information ihrett-
ened TO keep him 4 prisoner on the
submarine. When Bordlcy persisted In
his refusal the captain dismissed him.
and his boat was pushed on.

SHACKLEFORD BILL IS
REJECTED BY COMMITTEE
Designed 10 I'incc Regulation OF Insur-
ancc Rates Under Commissioner
of Insurance.

Opposed by The leading bankers and
insurance companies of Virginia. Del
eBate Shackleford's bill. designed to
place tho regulation OF insurance rates
under control of the State Insurance
Commissioner. was yesterday rejected
by the House Committee Oh Insura nee
ano Banking b. vote OF 10 4. ArGu-
ment on the measure consumed nearly
the whole of the afternoon. The com
mittec discussed IL in executive ses-
sion for half an hour before coming
10 a decision.
In the same session the committee
set Friday evening at S o'clock as I
time for hearing argument as to the
proposed merger OF the insurance and
banking Offices OF the State. The only
other measure considered was the bill
by Delegate Norris designed TO abolish
Insurance ratirg bureaus and associ-
atoms. This was TEN porarily passed
tho Shack!eford measure.
The Shack leford measure is admit
icd!y one OF Justice and fairness, but
Is obnoxious 10 most OF the insurance
companies, II was the threat Of the
companies that they would probably.
withdraw from Virginia that persuaded
tho committee indefinitely to pass by

II The larger companies would with

With the bill enacted into law, the
southeastern Underwriters Associa-
ton and other rating bureaus would
operate as at present. Wherever rates
fixed by these bureaus were considered
unjust, however. the alleged Injustice
would be adjusted by the Comm ISIS Toner
OF Insurance. Where his rulings were
not satisfactory to the insurins COM

PURCHASING AGENT BILL
THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED
Committee on General Laws Considers
Measure Advocated by Gov
crnor Davis.

The Senate Committee on General
Laws at meeting yesterday after
noon appointed n subcommittee to re-
draft the bill providing for a State
purchasing commission and purchasing
agent. The Hill. introduced by Sen
ator Jcffreys. is one Of Governor Davis's
administrative bills. which seek 10
eliminate the extravaganza and waste
OF the state system of purchasing ma
terials for various departments and in
stitut!ons. But it was badly handled
by the heads Of tho departments and
institutions in the hearing.
The heads of the departments gen
orally regarded the executive ability
Of tho agent as the central point around
which the success or failure OF the
schcme must swing. In regard to
staples. the majority OF those appear
ing seemed to think the bill at least
premature. Many of them cited in
stances Of their own purchases in To-
cal circumstances that they feared
could not be accomplished by CEN
trail agent. Others feared 1t would
legslate them out Of job. The bill
will no doubt be redrafted 60 an to
meet a great many of the objections.
leaving the central idea intact.

posed on the ground that ii contains at
