fore she rammed and sank the
submarine S-51 with a loss Of thir-
ty-three lives. brought Chief Engi-
neer William Boil, to the deck, he
testified today at the resumption
of the naval inquiry into the dis
aster.
Boil said he observed a red light
and one or two white lights. He
went back to the salon on the
lower deck, resumed his talk with
friends and then felt the crash.
The witness was positive that he
saw tho lights before the crash
and insisted that he was sure they
were electric lights. He thought
they were carried by small fish
ing vessel. After the crash, how
ever, when he again went on deck
he saw the same lights, he saw
that they were on a submarine.
The submarine drifted by the
City Of Rome at a distance of
about 400 feet, Boil said.
The witness confirmed the testi-
mony OF previous witnesses that
three fuses on the City of Rome s
searchlight blew out rendering the
searchlight useless.
Captain John H. Diehl and twelve
other men from the City of Rome
were ready to testify today.

BARON g DUPE
SHUTS UP On
LOSSES
Mrs. c. r.. Hunter, D. c. En-.
pIoye, Was Defrauded Out
of $1,000, Story Says

Denying herself to- interviewers
and refusing to discuss the matter
even with friends, Mrs. Clarinda
Regina Hunter, employed in the
District tax assessors office, today
suddenly became mute about her
being ''hypnotized" by John v.
Weidemeier, alias Count Won Elder,
alias Lord or Baron Cornelius
Beaverbrook.
Mrs Hunter, who lives at 1858
California street northwest, had
told a detective that the man who,
posing as an English peer, courted.
married and then deserted Mrs. Vir-
GINA Martin, Washington society
woman, after robbing her of $40, 600,
was the same man who mulcted her
out Of $4,000 after winning her con-
fidence.
"I don't see how anyone could
have failed TO believe him" she
was quoted ais saying. The man
simply hypncdized me. l couldn I
help believing everything he told
me about himself and his high
position"
The story as pieced out was to
the effect that Mrs. Hunter bumped
into the 'Raron" on a street here
in 1917. He apologized and began
talking as if TO an old acquaint
ance. and presently, it is said, Mrs
Hunter was under his spell OF
words.
Soon he was spending 800 daily
! on her, and not long after her
| diamonds and cash were in his
keeping~ Then he DISAPPEARED.
The fake nobleman was arrested
| in st. Louis last week, with the
wife CT a rich Chicago man. He
was Using the name Of John v
| WeidGmeier.
Released on $4,000 bond, he failed
| to appear for trial He has also
used the names Ward, Won Ed
| wards and Edwards.
Mrs. Hunter said she recognized
the newspaper picture of the
''mArrying swindler" as that of the
man who had defrauded her, and
notified the police.
Fully q dozen other women have
reported that they were swindied

Element of the strike of $4,000

This was frankly stated today
by both leaders of the operators
and the striking miners.
There is no truth whatever in
the rumors of a settlement and
no immediate prospect of any,"
bluItly declared Samuel d. War
riner, spokesman of the operators.
Situation Serious
Warmer made this statement to
General Charles w. Berry, chair
man of the New York State Coal
commission, who came here to
see if there was any truth in the
peace rumors.
The coal situation in New York
and in other Eastern localities is
becoming acute, and if the strike is
not settled may result in the great
est hardship and discomfort.

eral Berry's proposition for retail
dealers in New York city to lay in

John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
Is equally -pessimistic regarding
peace prospects.
To newspaper men Lewis declared
the miners are standing firmly for
the demands served on the opera
tors, which include a 10 per cent

This, they explain, does not mean
reduction of wages, but a plan
by which greater cooperation can

only class of recreation for the
use Of which a tax is imposed by

The amomunt of the tax is
negligible and does not compensate
for the expense in collecting it, he
added.
Because the Supreme Court has
held that a tariff cannot be i'm
