JsT FOLLOW AS THE NIGHT THlHXi5AY: THOU CANS
SOUTH CAROLINA, WHDNRsDAR, JUNE
HUNS SINK MANY VESSELS.
Officers and Crews Arrested and
Held-SOme Killed.

London, June 21.-The German
officers and sailors forming the COM
plements of the German ships in
termed at Scapa Flow sank most Of
their fleet to-day. All the big ships,
the battleships and battle crusiers,
excepting the Baden and numerous
smaller craft, were sunk, while
others went ashore in half-sunken
condition.
Eighteen 'destroyers were beached
by tugs; four are still afoat, while
the remainder went under.
The Wholesale sinking Of the
German ships, which we're surren-
dered under the terms Of the armis-
tice, was carefully arranged by
had been removed and therefore the
only means of destroying the fleet
was by opening the seacocks. The
ships went down slowly, with the
German flag, which the crews had
hoisted, showing at the mastheads.
The crews, composed entirely of
Germans, under the terms Of the
armistice, which did not permit of
British guards aboard, took to the
boats when the vessels began to
settle. While making for the shore
the boats were challenged and called
upon TO surrender. Some Of them
ignored the sum mons and were fired
upon, few casualties resulting.
This stroke appG rently was an en-
tire surprise and the first news
reached London through a CORES
pondent who was informed by farm
e"s in the neghborhood that they
had seen. the German ships sinking
with their flags aloft.
The admiralty at first denied the
report, but later confirmed 1t and
issued an official statement. The
German officers and crews have been
made prisoners. None Of the officials
tonight would offer an opinion as to
how they are to be dealt with.
The hoisting Of a red flag at noon
was the signal for the crews to
scuttle the German warships.

NEAR FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
Booze and Jitncy Go Out Driving,
Taking Two Boys With Them.

Last Sunday afternoon John Bar
leycorn stole a Ford automobile out
| Of the owners control with the will
full, malicious intent TO take whiz
around the country to see what roads
needed repairing. He could not go
alone> and invited Richard Hood and
Grover Medlin, both young men Of
the Ebenezer section, to accompany
him. They made their rounds, and
apparently all was going we'll. The
| speedometer could not keep up. so
was not being used; gas was plenti-
full, and the bumps had all been
smoothed out of the roads as the
about the middle Of the hill on Col
lege street, leading down toward the
depot from the direction Of West
minister, John Henry balked, bucked,
side-stepped, cut the pigeon wing
took a nose dip and tail spin, and
finally undertook to loop the loop,
but was too near the ground and
landed fiat Of his back. with Hood
and Medlin furnishing themselves as
shock absorbers underneath. There
were number of eye-witnesses, and
help was at hand in few seconds,
When pulled from beneath the car,
both boys seemed to be pretty badly
hurt. Medlin was unconscious and
remained so until about a o'clock on
Monday morning. Both young men
were taken to their homes about
midnight Sunday.
And so the story goes. When
old John Barleycorn is a passenger
we need not be surprised that the
lives Of those in the auto with him,
as we'll as the lives of others along
the route, are in constant peril.
Both Hood and Medlin are getting
along nicely, but they were badly
shaken up and very sore. Hood was
in town about noon Monday. Med
lin was doing very we'll, his father
said, but was very sore and bruised,
and was at home. Young Medlin,
we are informed, was in Europe with
the A. e. F., and saw considerable
active service. Hood is younger by
several years than his companion.

Samuel McComas Hawken, better
known as plain Sam Hawken. has
the unique distinction of not only
being a clerk in a criminal court,
but later a prosecuting attorney in
the same court and still later. being
an attorney for a clinet before the
court
No sooner had Mr.. Hawken re-
signed his position as assistant dis
trict attorney. after President Taft's
administration. and gotten into pri-
vate practice, than he was one OF
the busiest lawyers in Washington
His experience. not only as clerk
and prosecutor in the criminal
court, but in the office of Clarence
Z. Wilson. then the United States
attorney for the District, enabled
Mr.. Hawken to take care of a larger
practice once he hung out his shin
gle"
Mr.. Hawken was born in WILL
Transport, Nd, in 1881. He came tC
Washington in 1889 and was educat-
ed in the public schools here and
later matriculated at the George
town University where he took his
law degree in 1905. being the honor
man in his class.
He entered the office of the Clerk
of the District Supreme Court in
1897, later being transferred to Grim
inal Court No. 1 the scene OF many
victories in later years for the gov
ernment in hard fought criminal
cases.
While Assistant District Attor-
ney, he participated in nearly every
important trial that was held while
he was in Office. He has always
been regarded as unusually success
full in criminal cases in the role of a
prosecutor. Today Mr.. Hawken does
not specialize particularly in crim-
inal cases, although he does handle
few. His speciality is civil cases
and since he began the practice OF
this character Of cases. his fame has
scared.
Mr.. Hawke is interested in almost
every kind os literature. He Is ar
adrent believer that professional
man. especially lawyer, should

of the courtroom or his office and
give his mind a chance at something
else. Consequently, he goes In fol
literature, the kind that does not
deal with lay or courts.
Among some Of the notable convic.
tions secured by Mr.. Hawken while
prosecutor in Criminal Court are:
The murder cases Of Milano, Sahin,
Poland, Hawkins and Powell, the EN-
bezzlement charge against Masters
and Kinnear. the MoIlohan false pre-
lenses case, the Fletcher-Noble-Ki King
conspiracy case and the prosecution
Of w r. Ambrose and Raymond
Kleindienst, the latter q policeman.
Under the Wilson regime, Mr.. Haw-
ken made an investigation into the
alleged conspiracy among commission
merchants to raise the price Of food.
Later he was placed in charge of
the inquiry into alleged police graft,

caret Stout. who disappeared shortly
after starting the rumors and was
captured and brought back to WASH
