gether an auspicious one, as sup

LOST SUBMARINES
FOUND OFF COAST
Four U. S. Ships Were Sep
arated From Convoy to
Hampton Roads Base.

BY the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES. Calf. July 29.-Au
twelve of the submarines en- route
from Los Angeles to Hampton Roads.
Va, under convoy of the tender
Beaver, were said at the local SUBJ
marine base to be accounted for this
morning.
Two of the submersibIes are out OF
commission and are being towed. 1t
was said, but no serious trouble is
being experienced.
Early reports to the effect that four
Of the submarines were missing grew
out of the statement Of Capt. Thomas
w Sheridan, master of the liner City
of Honolulu, that he had sighted a
badly smoking submarine off the
lower California coast, below En-
senada.
Some degree of verification was
added by a message received last
night at the submarine base here
from Commander Roy L. Slower. in
command of the flotilla, stating he had
eight submarines in convoy, but not
mentioning the four reported miss
ing. The submarine base also inter-
cepted a message from the Beaver to
the LIS ordering her to stand by to
take a towline from the LIS. These
two submersibles, together with the
L-6 and LII, were the ones reported
missing. At 9 o'clock it was said no
information explaining the apparent
disappearance of the four submarines
had been received, but that efforts
were being made to get in touch with
the Beaver.
Later, however. Capt. W. S. Miller,
commanding officer at the submarine
base, denied that any serious accident
had befallen the undersea fiotilla.

him in a nearby alley they called
upon him to surrender, but he drew
the supposedly genuine pistol from
his pocket and warned the patrolmen
he was about to fire. The officers
then shot into the air and the boy
fed. AS his pursuers gained upon
him he stopped and again pointed his
toy with warning. whereupon he
was shot in the shoulder
