LINER SUNK AT HER LONDON PIER
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—No
tice was posted on the Maritime
Exchange’this afternoon that the
Royal Mail Jiner Trent had been
sunk at her home pier in London.
Sanderson & Son, local agents of
the line, did not know whether
the liner was sunk by the gale
which is raging along the Eng
lish coast or by German design.
The Trent was the ship that
rescued Walter Wellman and his
crew from the airship in which
they attempted to cross the At
lantic. She was last in this
port on November 21. having pro
ceeded to London by way of the
West Indies.
NEW YORK. Dec. 29—“In Febru
ary Germany will add 2,000,000 men to
her armies in the field,” said Richard
Wackerow, until recently United
States Consul at Breslau, who ar
rived here from Europe to-day on the
Italian liner Duca D’Aosta. “Germa
ny now has 3.000,000 men in the field.
By September, 1916, Germany will
have 8,500,000 in her armies in the
eastern and western theaters of war.”

Four Dreadnoughts
Urged for U. S. Navy
WASHINGTON, Dec. —Four
dreadnoughts and two new ‘ ottle
cruisers will be urged in a resolution
by Representative Stephens, of Cali

tee.
Mr. Stephens also favors the con
struction of sixteen submarines in
stead of eight, recommended by* Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels
Clerk O. C. Fuller, of the United
States District Court, within the next
few days will certify to the record in
the habeas corpus application of Leo
M. Frank and forward it to the Clerk
of the United States Supreme Court
in Washington as the first definite
step in placing the famous murder
case before that tribunal for the re
view made possible Monday by Unit
ed States Supreme Court Justice La
mar, when he granted a writ of error
on an appeal from the decision of
Judge W. T. Newman.
Solicitor Dorsey will confer Thurs
day with Attorney General Warren
Grice,' when the Attorney General re
turns from his Christmas vacation,
and w ill determine on a course of ac
tion to expedite the proceedings.
It is expected that the Solicitor,
probably with Mr. Grice, will proceed
to Washington as soon as the record
is sent up by Clerk Fuller and move
that the case be advanced on the
docket for an early hearing.
May Be Heard in 90 Days.
If the case is advanced the chances
are that It will be heard within the
next 90 days. Should it be placed on
the docket in regular order, however,
‘t would not be reached for at least
eighteen months, and possibly tw r o
yea rs.
Clerk Fuller is allowed 30 days in
which to certify the record and send
it to Washington. The record consists
of the original petition for a writ of
habeas corpus, the decision of Judge
Newman denying it, and the excep
tions to this decision filed by Frank's
lawyers, setting out the points on
which they alleged the judge erred.
How Decisions Would Work.
The effect of a decision by the
United States Supreme Court favor
able to Frank would mean another
hearing before Judge Newman on the
question of whether the condem: ;?d
man should be liberated ' - ’"M on
a habeas corpus writ, according to
the opinion of his counsel. An *!-
verse decision would leave the case
where it stands to-day.
There has been much speculation
on this point, as the impression has
prevailed that a favorable decislor by
the Supreme Court would mean the
immediate freeing of Frank .wtiiout
further hearing, habeas corpus pro
ceedings being based on the sole
question of whether a prisoner is be
ing illegally detained and should be
released.
Attorney Leonard Haas, of counsel
for Frank, said Tuesday that, as no
evidence was heard by Judge Ne
man when he denied the writ, & re
versal of his decision would ser he
case back to him for a hearing of evi
dence as to the alleged prevalence of
mob spirit In the courtro- during
the trial of Frank and on his absence
from the courtroom when the verdict
was announced—the points a* '*«*ue.
The hearing before the Sunreme
Court, Mr. Haas said, would have the
same effect as if the F’°*' ^imply had
filed a demurrer to the petition for
habeas corpus and this demurrer were
up for deci&ion.
Should Judge Newman, after hear
ing evidence both from the State and
from Frank, again deny the writ.
Frank still would have the *'ht of
another appeal to the Unite'" '"''•tes
Supreme Court. A reversal of Judge
Newman on this second hearing would
free Fr com** as if Judge
Newman should grant the ’Tit.
The Board of Education Tuesday
afternoon voted to ask the finance
committee of the City Council in
January for an appropriation of a
lump sum of $125,000 for new schools,
to be expended on such schools and
In such communities as the board
may deem proper. This sum is out
side of the proposed million dollar
bond issue for schools.
In thus asking for the new school
fund, the members voiced the senti
ment that the board should be given
greater powers in the administration
of school affairs, and should not be
required to specify to Council ihe
detailed manner in which the educa
tional funds are to be dispensed.
Major R. J. Guinn, the president,
declared the board should be trusted
to do what is right with the moneys
appropriated to it, and ought not to
be forced to lay before the Finance
Committee and Council its exact
plans as to the sections where the
new schools are to be built and the
cost of each. He said it was the pur
pose of the board to remove the
schools from ward politics, and sug
gested this could be aided by the
granting of Increased powers.
This same sentiment was manifst-
ed when the board asked for an ap
propriation of $580,000 for teachers’
salaries, and asked for an increase of
$1,500 in the salaries of administra
tive officers. The particular salaries
to be increased were not specified.
The board took the position that it
knows the merits and worth of the
various officers and teachers, and
should be permitted to regulate sal
aries through its own plans. While
no mention was made, it was generally
believed that a raise in the salary of
Superintendent Slaton is contem
plated.
Allies Claim Proof
That Germans Gave
‘No-Quarter’ Order
LONDON, Dec. 29.—The follow
ing general order by General Joffre
wai issued to French armies in the
field on December 17:
“We have proof that the lieuten
ant commanding the Seventh Com
pany of the One Hundred and
Twelfth Bavarian Infantry Regi
ment has communicated to his men
the following order by the general
commanding the Fifty-eighth Bri
gade of the Fourth Bavarian
Corps:
“‘From to-day no more prison
ers will be made. All prisoners will
be shot to death. The wounded,
with or without arms, will be put
to death. Prisoners, even if taken
in large bodies, will be put to death.
No living men must be left behind
us.’
“This order has been carried out.
Interrogation of the German pris
oners proves that numbers of
French prisoners have been shot
dead.”
State Department
Spineless as Worm,
Says Jas. R. Mann
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.—Declaring
“there is not as much nerve In the State
Deartment as would supply an angle
worm,” Minority Leader Mann made a
bitter attack In the House to-day on the
Administration’s Mexican policy.
“There have been executions, murders,
starvation and rapine In Mexico.“ he
said. “We are preventing any one else
from restoring order there and yet we
do nothing ourselves. We have as much
nerve in our State Department as would
supply an angle worm. If the AdrrUnis-
tration had the proper conception or our
duty we could easily bring order out of
chaos and could it without going to
war.”
Turning from Mexico. Minority Leader
Mann referred to the action of England
in Interrupting American commerce on
the seas and said:
“We ought to keep out of entangling
alliances in the European war, but we
should not resign all our rights. England
has been persistently seizing neutral
ships and cargoes and carrying them
into her own ports. I know of one
.American vessel kept in an English port
with a perishable cargo since Novem
ber 6.
“I am glad that the Administration is
taking the position that we have our
rights on the sea, both as regards Eng
land and Germany and others. There is
no danger of going to war because we
stand up for . these rights. England
could not afford a war with us and
neither could Germany.”

SEEK SEATS
FOR BIS
BATTLE
By FRANK G. MENKE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The biggest
crowd that ever witnessed a boxing
match in New York City was expect
ed to-night when Charley White, the
Chicago lightweight, and Yourig £3hu-
grue. of Jersey City, meet in a ten-
round affair.
Rarely has more money been wa
gered on a bout in which the cham
pionship was not involved than has
been wagered on this fight. ^The bet
ting late this afternoon was at even
money with tons of coin from both
sides in sight. The Chicago contin
gent, which arrived here to-day,
brought along two or three baggage
cars full of money and they eagerly
wagered It on White with the Shu-
grue people accepting all bets. It
looked like a $20,000 house. The re
served seats sold at prices ranging
down from $10 to $3 and practically
all of the choice reserved sc^s were
sold out several days ago.
A heavy rain poured down all after
noon, but this did not prevent the
crowd from forming In line for the $1
and $2 “bleacher” seats that were
scheduled to be placed on sale at 6
p. m. About 2,500 one dollar seats and
2,000 two-dollar seats had been laid
aside for “pass in as you buy” sale
find indications were that a crowd of
10,000 would be in the scramble for
these 4,500 seats despite the drenching
rain.
Some speculators got hold of choice
reserved seats and found a ready sale
for them, in blocks, at prices that
ranged from 30 to 50 per cent above
the regular figures.
Both fighters went through mild
training stunts to-day and announced
that they were in prime condition.
White is figuring on a popular decis
ion by rolling up a big batch of points.
Freddie Welsh, lightweight cham
pion of the world, will be at the ring
side and will render a decision for a
j newspaper after the game. Welsh
has promised to meet the winner of
the bout in a 20-round affair later in
the winter. Both of to-night's con
testants have scored newspaper decis
ions over Welsh and each is anxious
to grab a victory to-night so that he
can get a chance at Welsh over a long
route.

Defying Court
Order, Ousts
Husband
Mrs. Alva Hembree, of College
Park, Tuesday was allowed ten days
by Judge W. D. Ellis, of the Superior
Court. In which to eject Alford Ware,
a tenant, from her College Park home
and save herself from punishment
for contempt of court.
Mrs. Hembree was adjudged In con
tempt for alleged violation of n in
junction issued last December by Su
perior Court Judge J. T. Pendleton,
restraining her from disposing of this
property or from altering its status in
any way.
Mrs. Hembree’s husband, A. I. Hem
bree, clerk In a West Mitchell street
place of business, had his wife cited
for contempt on the ground that she
had “altered the status of the proper
ty” by removing his belongings from
the house during his absence and
i renting the place to Ware.
Divorce Suit Is Pending.
Hembree and his wife have been
separated since November last year,
it was shown, but since that time had
continued to live in the College Park
home, occupying separate apartments.
Divorce proceedings were Instituted
by Mrs. Hembree last June, but still
husband and wife remained under the
same roof. This situation continued
until about two months ago, when Mrs.
Hembree rented out the place while
the husband was absent. The divorce
proceedings are pending.
Attorneys Hines and Jordan argued
that Mrs. Hembree had acted in good
faith, and that she meant no contempt
of the court; that she was In need of
money and that the husband, when
he left the home, declared he might
never return.
Receiver To Be Asked.
Attorney J. F. Golightly, represent
ing the husband, told the court he did
not want to be harsh with Mrs. Hem
bree, but urged that the original
status of the property should be re
stored in order that Hembree's Inter
ests could be protected.
Judge Ellis said he didn't think
Mrs. Hembree meant any harm by
renting the property, but declared
court orders must be obeyed. He was
disinclined to punish Mrs. Hembree if
she would get rid of her tenant and
leave the property as It was original
ly, to be finally disposed of through
the courts.
Attorney Jordan announced he
would file an application for a re
ceiver for the property.

COHON TRADE IS
HIT HI LACK OF
U.S.VESSELS
Steamship Rates Go Steadily Up
ward “to Point Affording Enor
mous Speculative Profits.”
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29—Ocean
freight rates on shipments to Europe
from the United States have gone up
since the outbreak of the war “to a
point affording enormous speculative
profits.” This situation is due to the
fact that the United States has no
merchant marine to handle its com
merce.
These were the features of & re
port made to-day to the Senate by
the Department of Commerce in re
sponse to a resolution of Senator
Fletcher adopted by the Senate on
December 18.
“At the time when we have the
most to sell and customers abroad
eager to buy,” the report states, "the
fact that our ocean carrying facili
ties are in the hands of others sub
ject to war risks and controlled by
Interests not our own stares us in
the face. We are forced to take the
chances of war and ship in belliger
ent bottoms. It is estimated in ship
ping circles that 50 per cent of the
total tonnage available for our trade
has been eliminated by the tying up
of the German and Austrian marine
and by the commandeering of a
large part of the British marine by
the admiralty. The result has been a
steady increase In steamship rates.”
The report showed that cotton
shipper from New York to Liverpool
had a freight rate on July 11 of 20
cents per hundred pounds. On Sep
tember 12 the rate was 40 cents and
on December 19 it was 75 cents per
hundred pounds. Cotton was shipped
to Bremen, Germany, at a 20-cent
rate on July 11, but on December 23
a cargo was forwarded at a rate of
$3.00 per hundred pounds.
Sacked flour from New York to
English ports had a rate of 12 to 13
cents per hundred pounds at the out
break of the war. Now similar ship
ments cost 26 to 35 cents. From New
York to Copenhagen the flour rate has
gone up from 20 cents to 65 cents.
Measurement goods from New York
to English ports now carry a rate of
$7.30 per ton, where form'erly the rate
was $4.26 a ton on the average.

Reports Exaggerated
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 —That re
