SUBMARINE
REPORTED.
in THE Gulf
|0F MEXICO

GALVESTON. TEX. JAN ;4.-AN
ENEMY SUBMARINE WAS SIGHTED
LATE YESTERDAY ABOUT 125
MILES SOUTHEAST OF HERE, AC-
CoRDING TO WIRELESS REPORTS
RECEIVED HERE TODAY FROM AN
AMERICAN PATROL BOAT.
Although officers at Fort Crockett
declined to comment on the report, they
admitted troops of the coast artillery
away for the evening on leave, had
been hastily summoned last night to
man the shore batteries, and that all
passes have been temporarily sus-
pended.
While the report might be q case of
mistaken identity. as so often has hap
pened along the gulf and Atlantic
states in the past, the authorities evil
IDENTIFY were taking no chances.
PATROL BOATS OUT.
All available patrol boats in the har.
Dor were sent to sea last night. Ac-
cording to the report two patrol vessels
attempted to chase the submarine but
the U-boat quickly submerged and dis
appeared. A southwest gale Is now
sweeping the gulf and on this account
effective patrol work is difficult
The steadily increasing activity Of
Germans in Mexico. q large number Of
whom went to that country Immediately
upon declaration of war by the United
States, gives color to the theory that
any submarine activity on this side win
be directed against the oil commerce
of the gulf where supplies might be OBJ
tanned through cooperation with Ger
man agents, on shore.

Chairman Will Be Named
by Governor to Serve Un-
til Next General Election.

The death of Senator Brady means
that a Democrat will succeed him in
the United States senate from this
state. 1t also means that Idaho next
fall will elect two United States sena-
tors instead of one. The last legisla-
turc passed an emergency law enpow-
ering the governor to FIJI a vacancy

The law says in part That when

state of Idaho by death, resignation or
otherwise, the governor shall have the
power and is hereby authorized and
empowered to fill such vacancy by ap-
pointment, and the person so appoint

the successor to the late Senator

James H. Hawley and John F. Nugent.
While the governor might resign in

lieutenant governor, such an act is not

Washington, Jan. 14.-Profound sor-
row prevailed in official circles today
because of Senator Bradys death,
which occurred at $50 last night, after
hours of vain effort by his physicians
to keep him alive until the arrival of
his sons, who were snowbound and did
not arrive until today. At his bedside
when the end came were his wife, her
sister and brother in law. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. l. Jayne, Of Muscatine, t.. and Rep
resentative Smith, of Idaho.
Senator Brady's funeral will be held
Wednesday afternoon. The body will
be cremated. the ashes to remain in 1,
vault in Washington for time and
later buried in Idaho. The senator,
before death, requested cremation.
The funeral committee named by the
senate consists of Senators Borah,
Gallagher. Smoot, Harding, Warren,
Chamberlain, Thomas, King, Fletcher
and Beckham.
Senator Borah made the announce
ment in the senate and Congressman
Smith in the house. Both bodies ad-
journed out of respect
Telegrams OF sympathy came from all
parts of the country. The hearings of
the senate committee on military af-
fairs was halted. as Senator Brady
was member and active iN the inves-
tigation.
While not unexpected, due to his SER
ious condition of the past few days, the
announcement here from Washington
of the death of United States Senator
James H. Brady, cast u cloud of gloom
over the states capital. There Is pro-
found regret that Idaho's junior sena-
tor should be called by death when In
the vigor of his manhood, and when his
services in the senate were most need
ed by his country.
The late Senator Brady served his
state and party as both governor. sem
ator and chairman of the Republi ,an
state central committee. He was also
heavily interested in business and
property in his home state.
