Washington. July 5.--Warning OF
a possible resumption of enemy sub

Secretary of Navy Daniels in the fol-
lowing appeal To the press:

tive that no mention should be made
in any newspaper, either in the adj
vertising or news columns. of the sail

This information conveyed by ad-
vertisfng is as dangerous as in the
news columns. and ! am making this
request to all the newspapers In the
country in the assurance that they
will cooperate with the government
In it's efforts TO prevent any informa-
ton about ships reaching submarines
which may be or the American
coast.

"JOSEPHUS DANIELS.

The secretary took pains to indi-
cate that there was no definite indica-
ton that the enemy U-boats were
about to resume operation along the
American coast

II is known that the suggestion OF
the new appeal for the suppression OF

direct from the bureau of naval In

of the navy--which has been at work
ever since the first appearance of the
hostile craft on this side of the At

collision between the U-boat COM
manders and enemy spies in this coun-
try.
Although no positive evidence has
been gathered. naval intelligence Off
GERS have strong reason to believe. II
is said, that advertisements in news
papers concerning ships sailing for
various points were In some way com
municatad 10 the submarines during
the last raid. II Is known for exam
pie that officers of the bureau, in CO.
operation with agents of the depart

ed along the Atlantic coast for evil
dence for hidden wireless plants from
which news could be flashed to the
enemy at sea. Consideration has like
wise been given to the possibility that
the U-boat were able to obtain In

CUSTER PAPERS ARE
HANDED TO COURT
Specifications for Proposed
Proceedings Against Four
Officers Are Filed.
NO OFFICIAL ACTION YET
Judge Richardson VIII Prob
ably Issue Order Directing
Execution of the Mat
ter Today.

Commemorative Attorney George
Z. Wise late yesterday afternoon
handed to Deputy Clerk William
Breeder, OF the hustings court. type
written copies OF the specifications in
the proposed custer proceedings to
be heard against four mem bers of the
police department, as recommended
by the June grand jury.
In the absence Of Clerk Walter
Christian. who Ia out OF The city,
Deputy Breeder placed the papers In
the safe, to be taken up this morn
ing wfAn Judge Richardson reaches
the courtroom.
Judge Richardson was not in the
city hall when the papers were hand
ed Mr.. Breeder. and no Official &C
ton could he taken. Owing 10 the
late hour, II was determined 10 hold
the documents until court convened
today, when Judge Richardson will.
In all probability, issue an order di-
rectIng the execution of the papers
upon the parties mentioned In the
specifications.
There are four papers directed 10
Chief c. \. Sherry, Captain George L.
Pollock, Detective Sergeant Louis Ber-
tucci and Bicycle Officer Charles
Strain. The commemorative attor-
Hsy declined 10 INFORM nsWSpape
men last night what the specific
charges were. declaring that he would
say nothing until the Judge had is-
sued an order placing them before the
public.
1t is presumed, however. that they
contain in detail the allegations made
in the report of the grand jury. that
Chief Sherry had connived with boot
ieggers: that Captain Pollock had
looked upon the glass TOO freely, that
Detective Bertucci had associated toe
much with gamblers and bootleggers
and that Officer Strain had admitted
his connection with hootleggers.
1t is not likely that the hearings
will be gone into before next Wednes-
day The four men under charges
have engaged counsel. and will fight
the accusations 10 the end. Strain has
made an effort upon two occasions &c
resign from the force. but Chief
sherry has in both instances declined
to accept the resignation until the
custer charges have been disposed of

hearings include II. NJ. Smith. Jr.. L

Fight on Overman Bill
Breaks Out in Senate

Washington, April 2.-Controversy
over the Overman bill to give the
president general authority to reorsan-
iZe government departments and agen-
cics during the war, broke out in the
senate today.
Senator Overman of North Carolina.
chairman of the judiciary committee,
said the measure had been greatly mis-
understood: that IL does not confer
any new substantive powers on the
president. but merely provides for
more effective execution of authority
already granted by congress and that
he did not sec how any senator could
oppose ii.
TO the contention that the bill should
limit the presidents actions to specific
congratulations Senator Overman de-
clared that both Great Britain and
France have conferred greater powers
on their premiers than this country has
i'm the president.
