VOL. XXI. NO.IS. HMK SUBMMIDE MnnUMISEIT AMERtCANSUBMARtNEtS LOCAT ED FtFTY FATHOMS BELOW THE SURFACE. TWENTY-ONE MEN ON BOARD First Submarine Disaster For United States.—F-4 is One of Latest Mod eis of Under-Sea Craft. Honolulu.—The American submar ine F-4 iost for over thirty hours off Honoiuiu' harbor, has been located. Heroic efforts being made to raise the stricken craft, but after having been submerged for more than 30 hours it was regarded as doubtful whether any of the crew of 21 men remained alive To iiit the iittte vessel to the sur face it was found necessary to send to the Pearl Harbor Naval Station for a derrick and crane. This involved much loss of time and it was thought the fate of the crew might not be de termined for many hours. Rescue vessels dragging the ocean bed with grappling hooks chanced upon the stricken craft at a depth of 300 feet. Making fast to the F-4 the naval tug Navajo and the steamer Makaala be gan to tow theiT find—they were not certain that it was the sub marine they had hooked—toward shal low water. Quantities of oil came to the surface, proof that it really was the lost vessel. Soon afterward a submarine marker buoy discovered far below the water, removed all doubt that the F-4 had been found. Just when the marker buoy had been released by the disabled boat there was no means of determining. If the signal was given after the grap pling hooks of the rescue vessel took hold, then the crew, or at least somd of them, still were alive. For more than an hour the tug and the steamer struggled with their un wieldy burden. Soon afterwards it became apparent that it would be im possible to tow the submarine near enough to shore to bring her to the surface and a hurry call was sent to the naval station for a wrecking ship. Naval authorities admitted that they had given up hope for the F-4'B crew. However, resuscitating apparatus has been dispatched to the scene and every effort will be made to develop any spark of life that may remain. The general opinion is that the vessel's plates were sprung through the im mense pressure of the water at a depth of 50 fathoms and that the two ofHcers and 19 enlisted men aboard have perished. Vessels in the vicin ity equipped with submarone signal apparatus continued to send out Big nais, but no answers came. EiTEL STtLL AT NEWPORT NEWS Many Rumors That Vessel is Prepar ing to Leave Port. Washington.—Rumors from New port' News reached Washington tha the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, the German sea raider, docked there for repairs after her commerce destroying cruise, was preparing to depart. One report said the cruiser actually had left her dock at the shipyard and was putting out to sea to escape or bid defiance to British and French warships patrol ing beyond the Virginia capes. All these stories were proved groundless, however, as the Prinz Eitel was at her dock and repair work was said still to be in progress. The immigrant passengers aboard the ship were removed and this fact, together with a growing belief that the time limit allowed the ship for remaining in port is drawing near probably gave rise to the reports. Tennessee Limits Capita! Punishment. Nashville, Tenn—The senate pass d a bill abolishing the death penalty in Tennessee. The bill which makes two exceptions, in criminal assault cases and in case of life-term convicts who commit murder, now goes to the governor. No More Free Lunches. Providence. R. 1.—The senate pass ed a biH prohibiting free lunches in liquor saioons. it wi!i go to the house. $20,000,000 tn Foods. London.—A financial report issued here by the American commission foy relief in Belgium shows that $20,000, 000 worth of foodstuffs have been de Mvered in Belgium since the inception of the commission's work. Nineteen million dollars worth of food is on the way to the stricken country or is stor ed for future shipment. Of the grand total $8,500,000 was provided by benev olent contributions and the balance of $50,600,000 was provided by banking arrangements set up by the commis sion. Lady Paget Victim of Typhus. New York.—The death in Serbia ^ from typhus of Lady Paget, wife of Sir Ralph Paget, third assistant secre-' tary of foreign Affairs in England, wqs confirmed in cablegrams received here by Mme. Slavko Grouitch, leader of the Serbian relief movement in this country. Lady Paget was stricken at Uskob, where she was the head of a hospitaa established by the Serbian relief committee in England. Lady Paget had been active in relief and hospital work in Serbia from the time of the Bret Balkan war.

Fifteen Thousand Peopie in the Town Are Found Suffering With Dread Disease.—Garcow Next. London.—The size of the garr'son at Przemys' and the number of men who surrendered to the Russians greatiy exceed aii estimates. A 'cord ing to Petrogral dispatches the de fenders or'ghially numbered 170C00 men, of when? 40,000 were ki'icd Neariy 120,too iaid dowr. their ^rms when the fern ess capitulated. A biit'ard vnich has interfered with the telegraphic service prevents details of iht surrender from coming through but Lemberg reports that for seven days prior to the fall of the fortress the people of the town had nothing to eat and the Russians who took in large supplies of pro visions, were welcomed as liberators Dispatches from Lemberg aiso say that 15,000 persons were found suf fering from typhus or cholera and that the work of disinfecting the place is being undertaken energeti cally. The interior forts, it is said, were found intact, with a good deal of ammunition in them. Everywhere in Europe, both in belligerent and neutral countries, the greatest credit is given the Austrians for their long and stubborn resist ance. which has delayed and inter fered with the Russian campaign in other directions. It is thought that they will now begin a big movement either in the direction of Cracow or in the Carpathians. One British military critic stakes his reputation on the prophecy that Cracow will fall within a month and that when it does or before, Austria will endeavor to conclude a separate peace. He is more optimistic than most military critics here, who be lieve the Austrians and Germans will make a great effort in the southern field and attempt to prevent the Rus sians from crossing the Carpathians or reaching Cracow. . MONEY FOR BiNDER TWiNE. American Warship Takes Money to Yucatan to Pay For Hemp. Washington.—An American warship wili tefke to Yucatan money to finance the movement of Mexico's sisal hemp crop, needed to make twine for bind ing the American wheat crop this year. The money—$62,000 in cur rency, which hanufacturers propose to advance to the hemp growers—is in bank vaults at Galveston but until now no safe means of getting it to Mexico had been found. Secretary Daniels agreed to permit the use of a waTship after hearing sisal purchasers outline the difficul ties that had been encountered. There is said to be some 250,000 bales of sisal ready for shipment in Yucatan. Wreck Resuit of Track Cnoditions. Washington. — Derailment of a Southern Railway train near Tuexdo. N.

French Atiens Sent to New York. Norfolk, Va.—The 76 aliens taken from the French steamer Fioride be fore that vessel was sunk in the South Atlantic by the German converted cruiser Prinz Eite! Friedrich, left here by steamer for New York. Cut Out Whiskey Ads. Chicago.—The Poster Advertising Company of the United States and Catnada has placed a ban on the ad vertisement o( whiskey and other dpiritous liquors, it was learned here. Beer and wines are not included. The association has members in 4 000 cit ies in the United States and Canada. No new contract^ will be entered into with the whiskey concerns after May 31 and no whiskey advertisement will be posted after this year, according to the resolutions adopted by the board of directors. FtOHTtNO DESPERATELY tN EF FORT TO GET THROUGH THE CARPATHtANS. AUSTRIANS BLOCKING WAY Making Great Effort to Keep Back the invaders.—British Announce End of Submarine U-29. London.—The Russians have tost no time since the fail of Phzyemsyl in at tempting their drive in the Carpath ians to reach Hungary. In the var ious mountain passes where already thousands of men have faiien Russians and Austrians are in another death grip, the one army to force its way through the mountain passes, the oth er to beat back the invaddrs. The Russians are striking their best biow on the SO-mile front between Bart Hqld and Ussok, and although the operations are being carried on under the most difHcult conditions the claim is made officially that they are de veloping "with compiete success." The nature of the fighting is indi cated by the fact that oniy are there great snow drifts to contend against, but the Russians have had to Hght their way through barbed-wire en tanglements, rows of trenches and works strongiy fortiiied. In one of these places, near Lupkow Pass, an Austrian position, said by the Russian War OfHce to be very important, was carried by assauit. Here the Rus sians captured 5,600 men, 100 ofHcers and several dozens of machine guns, and latest advices from Petrograd de scribe the Austrians as in retreat from certain positions. The British Admiralty announces the end of the famous German sub marine U-29, which sank several British steamers and torpedoed oth ers. In making the announcement the Admiralty said it had good reas ons to believe that the U-29 had been sunk with all hands. More than or dinary interest attached to the U-29 because of the belief in some quarters that Lieutenant Weddingen, who com manded the submarine U-9 When she sank three British cruisers in the North Sea last September, has been promoted to the command of the newer and larged boat. Meantime other German submarines have been active and the U-28 has sunk the Dutch steamer Medea which, according to the British Admiralty, was Hying the Dutch Hag and carried a Dutch crew. _ WILSON EXPRESSES CONFiOENCE Praises Stabitity of Great Body of Catm Peopte of Nation. Washington.—Full conHdence in the great body of calm people of the Na tion, who serve as "stabilizers" when the excitable ones try to "rock the boat" in these perilous days, was voiced by President Wilson in an ad dress before the Baltimore conference of the Methodist Episcopal Ghurch, South, In annual session here. The President appealed to the Na tion for support in administering his oHlce, saying "if I can speak for you 1 am powerful. If I cannot I am weak." He said it was possible for a people to be impartial when a "quarrel is none of theirs." Referring to the danger to mission aries in some foreign lands of which he said he had thought much of late, he added: "Wars will never have any ending until men cease to hate one another, cease to be jealous of one another, get the feeling of reality in the brother hood of mankind, which is the only bond that can make us think justly of one another and act righteously be fore God himself."

Washington.—How the American Hag Hying over the home of John B. McManus an American citizen, in Mexico City was torn and dragged half way down the pole by Zapata sol diers when they murdered McManus and looted his home two weeks ago is told in dispatches from the Brazilian minister made public by Secretary Bryan.

ALL!ES TAKE PRZEMYSL BESiEGED FOR MONTHS EAST ERN FORT CAPiTULATES TO iNVADiNGARMY. Much Ehthueiaam in Petrograd. Lon don and Paria Over Victory Re garded aa Moat important. London.—The long investment of the mid-Gaiician fortress of P**zemysi has ended. Depieted by disease, sub sisting on horse flesh and surrounded by a superior force of Russians, the garrison has surrendered to ^hc he aieging army after a defense lasting many months, which up to the present is recorded as Austria's mos: noie worthy contributibn to the war. Petrograd, London and Paris are ceiebrating the event—Petrograd and Paris in the sopntaceous manner char acteristic of those cities—London with siient and grim satisfaction, which is the British way. The newspapers assert that the faii of the fortress marks the most important capture of the war. not ecepting Antwerp, in that it not oniy reieases considerable Hussian forces which can be thrown into the fluctuat ing struggbie in the Carpathians, but opens the door to Cracow and the piains of Hungary. It is argued, too. that the moral effect of the surrender will be tre mendous, the Allies declaring it wiii Ktimuiate feeiing in their favor both in Roumania and Buigaria just as the operations in the Dardanelles are causing an agitation in Greece and Itaiy. The Italian situation is receiving attention, although rumors, rather than facts, seem to be the basis of most of the news dispatched. The Italian Embassy at London had no confirmation of the report that freight trade between Italy and Germany by way of Switzerland had been stopped, nor was there confirmation of the re ported massing of Austrian and Ger man troops along the Austrian iitterai, or the assembling of artiiiery at Triest. Przemysi fel* with honor, the Brit ish press concedes, for it withstood the onslaughts longer than any place during the war, the investment hav ing begun about September 16. some thing more than six months ago. The duration of the siege compared with the length of time it took the Ger mans to capture such strongholds as Liege .Namur and Antwerp, was due to two causes, one being the desire of the Russians to keep the loss of life among the besieging army at a minimum, the other to the lack of great guns, which the Germans had in Belgium. The investment was not a close one, the garrison having had up until recently a radius of about 12 miles in which to move about. Nothing of great importance has been recorded in the west. In the east, aside from the fall of Przemycl the situation around the German poi ^ of Memel is the most intert sting. From this town the Germans main tain they have driven the Russians, while a controversy is being waged by the press of the two countries as to the merits of the Russian contention that civilians bred on them in this latest incursion in East Prussia—an act which demanded reprisals. Two American Veaseia Stopped. New York.—Two steamers leaving here were stopped by shots over their bows bred by the dispatch boat Dol phin, stationed In the harbor to guard American neutrality. Both ships were later allowed to proceed. The American steamer Santa Clara was halted by a shot when She failed to stop at signals. The American steamed Newton was stopped because she failed to display signals despite whistle warnings by the Dolphin. Neh trality officers ordered Captain Abbott to hoist his signals. XMSMU.

Moore, president of the exposition, introduced the first three speakers, United States Senator James D Phelan, Chester H. Howeii repre senting Governor Johnson and Mayor James Roiph, Jr., the iatter express ing the hope to the Vice President that the message he would forward to the President wouid be "California has done weil." Vice President Marshaii said in part: "1 crave your sympathy and your charity whiie for a brief moment I stand here commisioned to take but not to fili the place of the President of the United States. "In justice to the day, Woodrow Witson should be here. The ofRce and the man wouid each fittingly grace this occasion. But duty said to him that justice to aii the peopie bade him to stay in Washington. You hope for continued peace. Do not forget that he is your greatest peacemaker. May the truth that he seeks your good rather than his own or your pleasure lighten the disappointments of this hour. Before the sunset beil shall proclaim the close of this marvel of the Twentieth Century, the President of the United States hopes to meet you face to face. "Ostensibly I am here in the name of the President of the United States to dedicate this exposition in glorifi cation of the compietlton of the canai. Really that waterway from its be ginning was dedicated to the idea and the ideals of the Republic. "Here men of every age and every clime behoid the noonday of the world's accomplishment, the crystal lization of the dreams and thoughts of genius and of talent. May we not hope that here a thoughdawn will be born that shall not cease to broaden until, at its meridian light, all men around the world are one?" iMMENSE SHtPMENT OF FOOD.

MANY ATTENDED FUNERAL Body Was Carried to Lexington, V*, and Laid By the Side of Her Lov Chariotte.—After days and months of lingering on the brink of the River of Death, reaching forward to the goiden streets of the ceieetia! eity. "and the trees whose leaves are for the heaiing of the nation"—as she so beautifuiiy wrote of her husband's passing—the nobie pure, spirit of Anna Morrison Jackson, widow of StonewnB Jackson, "crossed over the river" at 4:20 a. m. at her residence on West Trade street. ing Husband. MRS. "STONEWALL" JACKSON. The immediate cause of Mrs. Jack son's death was pneumonia which was contracted three days before, ft waa the resutt of a coid contracted 10 dayw ago while she was seated on the front piazza of her home. Heart trouble, aggravated by age and attendant in Brmities. were contributing and fmn damentai factors. This trouble had been occasioning her physicians un easiness, for several years but it did not assume a serious form until about eight months ago. Last August she had an acute attack at Walter's Park. Pa., near Philadelphia, and was taken to a hospital in the latter city for treatment. When she recovered suffi ciently she was brought home but she never regained her full strength al though she undertook to atend to her domestic and other duties until last fall when her health again failed. More than once since the incipiency of her illness she had suffered at tacks which had caused her life to bo despaired of. but each time she had been able to rally her resources. Her death was very easy—simply "a sleep and a forgetting." She re mained conscious until the afternoon before her death. In her last con scious moments her thoughts were of others. At her bedside when the final moment came were Mr. and Mrs. K. R. Preston, the latter a granddaugh ter of Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Laura Mor rison Brown, sister of Mrs. Jackson, Rev. D. H. Rolston. D.D.. pastor of the irst Presbyterian church, and the family physician. Dr. William A. Gra ham. a kinsman of the distinguished patient. —_ The news of Mrs. Jact*3on s death is a shock to the entire South, which has cherished with sincere ardor the helpmeet of him who in his iife-tlme was the powerful right arm of the embattled Southern nation and the idol of his soldiery Throughout the decades that have elapsed since the close of the great civil conflict. Mrs. Jackson has held unchallenged the po sition of primacy in the affections of this people. _ Jackson, when told by his wife that "before the day was over he would be with the blessed Saviour in His glory," said, "I will be an infinite gainer to be translated." So with the wife of the soldier and saint, from whom he was tom by the tragedy of war on that bright Sabbath morning of May Id, 1863—she is "an infinite gainer te be translated." Mrs. Jackson passed to rest and her Infinite reward with the halo of a na tion's love and reverence around her bed. The South bends over her with hearts ladened with grief and eyes filled with tears—tears such as sho has not shed since Jackson and Leo were laid to rest In the little town in their loved state, Immortalized an their last resting place. Mrs. Jackson's body was taken to Lexington, Va.. and there laid to rest by the side of her illustrious husband, j The funeral was held at 5 o*c!b<& from the First Presbyterian church and was conducted by the pastor. Rev. Dr. D. H. Rolston. He was assisted by Rev. James B. Smith, of Rich mond, Va. Three favorite hymns of Mrs. Jackson were sung. They were "How Firm a Foundation," "i Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," and "My Faith Looks up to Thee." The tribute of respect that was paid at the funetai was one of the most elaborate and Im pressive in the history of Charlotte.
