Military men say it ought to be

ITALIANS TRIED FOR TREASON
Are Charged With Blowing Up Italian
Battlesilip in 1915.

Rome, July 9.-Three italian sail
ors and one Italian soldier are being
tried by a court-martiaI on a charge
of having blown up the Italian battle
ship Bendetto Brin on September 81,
1915, by placing an Internal machine
in the gunroom. The defendants are
Achille Moschinei, Gugliemo Maito-
lini, Mario Azzoni, all bluejackets, and
Trooper Giorgio Carpi.
The Bendetto Brin was blown up IN
the harbor of Brindisi with the loss
of more than a hundred lives, includ-
ing that of Rear Admiral Rubin de
Cervin. An inquiry by the Italian
government developed that the battle
ship had been destroyed thru the
machination of German agents and
forty persons were arrested. An Ital-
ian named Ambrogetti, implicated in
the destruction of the Bendetto Brin
and also of the Italian battleship
Leonardo Da Vinci, was arrested and
asserted that he was the financial
agent for Monsignor Gerlach, private
chamberlain to Pope Benedict, and an
Austrian citizen. Gerlach fled from
Italy before Italian court which
had investigated his activities found
him guilty of espionage and sentenced
him to imprisonment for life.

ENTERS Gas ROW
Capper-Wh0 Blocked 32-Cent
Gas for Kansas-IntO 1t Again.
This Time He Objects to Recent
Distributing Co. Action.

Governor Capper-who aided in
blocking the agreement for 50 cent
gas for Kansas cities-believes some
thing should be done to prevent the
80 cent and dollar gas rate order by
distributing companies. In an inter-
view the governor declares the state
will lend all possible assistance in
blocking extortion in the fixing of gas
rates
The governor, in his interview,
states that in his judgment the sixty
cent rate now in existence is too high
and should be set aside by the courts.
As for the new rates, he proposes to
protest vigorously. Two years ago
when the Kansas Natural sought an in
crease over the public utilities COM
mission order. an offer was made to
compromise and provide a contract to
furnish gas at 80 cents. Governor
Capper Joined Chairman Bristow in
fighting the compromise. Because
these officials insisted on the % cent
rate or nothing, Kansas landed a 60
cent rate at the hands of the federal
court and now faces a rate ranging
from 80 cents to dollar with so cents
a month added for meter rental.
Certainly these avaracious gas COM
panies must be amenable either to the
state or the federal courts" said the
governor. land the state will make
every effort possible to prevent this
fragrant and oppressive extortion."
A conference will be held in Kansas
City, Wednesday. at which time repre-
sentati from Kansas cities, as we'll as
Attorney General Brewster, represen-
tatives of the state utilities commits
sion and other persons will be present.

IN A VIOLATION


man in intent, it is pro-German in
defense" was one alleged defense
against the State Journal statement
Hiding behind a loyalty constructed
by their own remarks, the governor
and Voiland sought to infer that all
truthful statements concerning their
most questionable acts, were disloyal
in purpose and intent A further de-
Tense was made in the loud declara-
ton that the State Journal Offered
not a scintila of evidence" It was
also charged that the State Journal
was ugly and venomous.'' and that
the story-which this paper is ready
to establish by facts and evidence
was 'pro-Hun attack and "polit-
ically inspired assault"
Six days ago the State Journal pub
licly asked the governor and Voiland
to enter into an agreement with this
paper to induce the department of
justice to release it's records in the
case that the public might know the
facts. This paper also urged that in
event government officials refused to
release their records, that the goverI
nor and Voiland file suit against the
State Journal for libel. IN that way
the records might be brought into
court and the public given the actual
facts
Governor Capper and Mr.. Voiland
have neither answered nor accepted
either invitation. Certainly their
s ,nding in the community and repu-
tation in the state are not matters to
be held so lightly that charges backed
by invitations to agree to produce rec
ords--even to bring a libel suit AGAINST
the paper-are to be passed without
response or action

Rumely's situation, he said, was prac-
tically the same so far as the govern
ment was concerned and no chances
should be taken with him.
Dctor Rumely remained silent while
proceedings were in progress, chang
ing his expression only to smile at
times.
Had Worked on 1t for Months.
More than seven months work, in
volving activities of the department
of justice and secret service, as we'll
as the efforts of New York state
authorities preceding the arrest of DR..
E. A. Rumely of the New York Mail
Publishing company. Assistant At
torney General O'Brian said today the
inquiry was far from closed and in
timated that further arrests were to
be expected. He would not discuss
charges which might be made in ad-
dition to that of perjury now pending
against DR.. Rumely.
Mr. O'Brian said the department
was entirely satisfied that the Mail
corporation was owned chiefly by the
imperial German government and
that proceedings would follow under
the federal statutes as far as the facts
allowed.
American 5reditors of the Mail will
receive first consideration in the adj
ministration of the property of the
alien property custodian; after the
bondholders are satisfied any remain

government IN the property will be
taken over according to law.

ANOTHER SUB OFFENSIVE?
Navy Warns Ships to Be on Lookout
Along Atlantic Coast.

Washington, July 9.-The navy de-
partment has reason to believe that
German U-boats are about to strike
again at Atlantic coast shipping.
Because of this, an official warning
to all shipping to be on the alert has
been sent out. covering the stretch of
ocean from the Virginia Capes north
ward to the vicinity of New York and
eastward a considerable distance out
to sea.
The recent inactivity of the U-boats
off the coast has not deceived navy
chiefs into believing that the danger
was past and recently confidential in
formation has come tending to prove
that a new blow is about to fall. While
there is always an element of doubt
about submarine information, these
data appeared to authorities to be
substantial. While warnings are sent
out more or less frequently, they gen.
orally are based IN what appears to
be good tip"
Norwegian Ship Sunk.
New York. July 9.-Vessels in this
vicinity today were warned to watch
for a German submarine believed to be
operating about sixteen hundred miles
east of New York.
At the same time it was learned that
eleven members of the crew of the

1--WE now have several thousand
American pilots in France. They
have arrived after adequate training,
so they have only to put the finishing
touches to the already sound instruc-
ton.
I'VE have not sufficient chaser
planes to mount all these pilots, but
the machines are being manufactured
more quickly than the pilots can COM
plete their training. 1t is certain that
America alone within a few months
will be able to more than supply all
its aviators with machines.
