charge, the second engineer said he
thought the lfeboats had fioated off the
top deck when the ship went over and
that ne saw them in the water. A
search was made by destroyers for a
radius of twenty miles around the place
where the Pomeranian was resting on
the bottom, but no trace of boats, RATS,
or wreckage >or bodies of the crew was
found.
The captain said the Medora, also
Westbound, was sunk a short time after
the Pomeranian, off the coast of Ire
land The explosion of the torpedo near
me boiler room was so slight that it did
not rouse the pilot, who was taking
Iofty wlnks in the chart room, and he
could not believe the ship had been hit
and was sinking. When the crew had
got away in the lifeboats the submarine
appeared, and the officer on deck de-
manded that the captain, chief wireless
operator, and chief gunner should be de-
llvered to him. At first the crew said
the o1ilcerf were not in the boats, but
the German commander said sternly
and IN perfectly good English: ssStop
that nonsense. If the captain, chief
wireless operator and chief gunner do
not give themselves up at once I viii
send you all to the bottom.
Not wishing to sacrifice his
crew the captain stood up in the first
l1feboat and the Marconi operator fol-
lowed his example. Then there was a
search for the gunner, and the second
gunner gave himself up to the com
mander OF the submarine with the
chiefs cap on because the latter was q
married man with q family and the
other was single with no domestic ties.
The three men were taken on board the
u-boat, and then the commander turned
to the life-boats and said, Give nv
compliments TO Lloyd George
Before leaving the scene the subma-
rlne fired twenty shells from the six
inch bow Gun into the Medora. An
honr later, seeing from a distance of
i've miles that the steamship was still
afloat, he returned and fred five more
shots, which finished the business and
she went down stern first.
Shortly after the Medora was sunk n
British transport reported to the Adj
mlralty that she had destroyed a Ger
man submarine by shellfire almost m
the same position, and friends Of the
captain, chief wireless operator and the
second gunner were afraid that all
three had gone down with the INNS
but word was received later from the
captain of the Medora SAYING that the
trio had landed in Germany and were
IN prison camp

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 81
The captain Of steamship which ar
rived yesterday from England brought
news Of the sinking by German sub
marines of the Pomeranian and the
Medora, both owned by the Canadian
Pacific Steamship Services of Montreal
The sinking of the Pomeranian,
said the captain, sis a mystery to
shipping men in England and to the
Admiralty, because only one member
of the crew was saved, the second en-
gineer, who said that ne never saw a
single member of the crew of sixty
officers and men after the accident. He
was on duty in the engine room about
Il. M, he said. when the steamship
lurehed heavily to starboard after a
muffled found from the forward end
of the ship like an explosion in the hold.
He stood by the throttle waiting for or
ders to stop the engines. AS the sig
nal did not come and the ship continued
to heel over the engineer stopped the
engines and went on deck. He could
see nothing except the shore, which was
about ten miles away, and he climbed
mp the foremost rigging on the port
side, where he remained until the steam
ship touched bottom and righted her
self. Then the engineer climbed into
the upper crow s nest, which was clear
of the water, and stayed there four
hours until he was picked up by a
patrol boat

DEFEAT WOMEN SUFFRAGE BILL
Women Still Hope For Measure to
Pass This Session Of Congress.

Washington-The woman suffrage
amendment was defeated in the SEN
ate by record vote of SO to 81. The
real vote OF the senate, however, as
shown by the pairs was so to "a, or two
votes short Of the required two-thirds
majority necessary to submit a con-
stitutional amendment to the several
states. Senators Smith and Townsend
voted for the amendment.
Hope for passage of the measure at
this session of congress is by no
means abandoned on account Of the
vote. Senator Jones, New Mexico,
chairman of the woman suffrage com
mittee, took parliamentary advantage
of changing his vote from AYE" to
mo" after the measure had been de-
feated and before the result was an
nounced, and gave notice that he
would move for a reconsideration Of
the vote on the next legislative day
There was no surprise in the vote
Of the senate. 1t was known after
President Wilson had made his strong
appeal and had even followed IL up
with personal letters to senator's who
might be persuaded that he had failed
to sway single vote in the senate
and that for the first time since the
declaration OF war a house of con-
gress was to deny favorable action on
what the president declared to be an
important and an essential war meas
ure.
Senator Martin. Kentucky, who
was placed in the doubtful column
because he had not declared himself,
voted for the measure.

WANT WHEAT PRICES RAISED
Ask President to Appoint a Special
Committee On Wheat Production.

Washington-Senato and repre-
sentatives from wheat growing states,
and officials of the National Wheat
Growers association, in conference
here decided to appoint a special COM
mittee to urge on President Wilson
immediate action fixing the price OF
wheat for 1919 at $3.50 a bushel.
The president will be told that this
price is necessary for protection Of
most wheat growers over the country,
who under the present price of $220
a bushel, plus the freight differential,
will not be able to raise wheat at a
profit.
Appointment of a special commit
tee to investigate the cost of wheat
production also will be requested, it
was announced, but in the meantime
an increased price will be sought.

Wilson was read on every campus.
