OHIO OFFICER SAYS
HE HAS LEM PRICE
Local Authorities Skeptical, How
ever, as Description Does. Not
Correspond Closely.

Reported capture of Lem Price, the
Negro murderer Of Patrolman Thorn as l..
Zebley, who escaped from the workhouse
on Christmas eve while under sentence
Of death. was received yesterday after
noon from the police of Youngstown,
Ohio. The description Of the man arrest
ed there does not correspond fully with
that of Price, and Attorney-General
David J. Reinhaxdt declares that he
does not feel justified in sending an officer
to Youngstown unless the identity of the
suspect is more fully confirmed.
The telegram announcing the arrest
was as follows: Ben Price, escaped con-
vict. in custody here. Sergeant J +.
julius and self claim reward. James \.
Murray. Marshall
The prisoner is described as 40 to Is
years old, dark brown, almost black com
plexion, weighing about $50 pounds. He
has been positively identified, Youngs-
town dispatch states, 10y Robert Carter,
who claims to represent Delaware State
detective agency. The circular sent out
by the Wilmington police described Price
as % years old, black hair, brown eyes
and complexion, weight about l4l pounds
Chief OF Police Black has wired 10
Youngstown asking if the man had con
fessed but has received no reply. Reports
from Youngstown are that the prisoner
claims TO be Albert Jackson, of Cleveland,
o. He is also charged with killing a con-
stable last Saturday at Coltsville, O.
The escape OF Price after conviction
for the murder OF Police Officer Zebley
caused such a sensation in Wilmington
that the local police are making every
effort to capture the murderer. Several
reDOrtS of his canfl1re from various ro-
gions, however, have proved to he false
alarms, and the police insist upon complete
Identification. If the Youngstown au-
thorities produce more definite evidence
that their suspect is the man wanted,
State Detective Frank " Mccoy will
go to Ohio to complete the identihca-
ton and ask for extraditlon
Il don't believe it Is he, was the as
sertion made by Chief of Police George
Black today, when asked about the sus-
pect arrested in Youngstown. In local
police circles little faith Is placed in the
ceieved do not tally with those Of the
condemned murder
Attomey-General Reinhardt said his
office has received no further word from
the Ohio authorities. No one will be sent to
youngstown, unless more complete
description is furnished and which would
indicate that the suspect might be Price.
j. Frank Ball, secretary Of the Board OF
Trustees OF the workhouse, said there Is
nothing in the report from Youngstown.
Acting Warden Crawford has been in
telegraphie communication with the
Ohio authorities, but no further details
were obtained.

Bring Navy to Condition of
Preparedness.
nv Associated Press 10 Every Evening

Washington, April l.-Because of the
navy departments policy of Indifference,
no effort was made TO bring the navy to
a state of preparedness before the war,
Rear Admiral Fullam, former commander
of the Pacific reserve fleet, declared today
before the Senate naval investigation
committee.
The admiral said that IN 1915 when he
went 10 the Pacific coast TO take command
of the reserve fleet the ships bad so small

The only persons In the navy depart
ment who would listen to his pleas for
more men and material preparedness were
