9 TRAWLERS SUNK IN A SINGLE DAY IN THE NORTH SEA London, May 5, 1:28 p.m.- -Nine trawlers is the bag credited to German submarines on Monday of this week in a message received here from Hull. In addition to the Iolanthe, the Hero and Northward Ho, the victims belonging in Hull include the Hector, Progress, Coquette and Bob White, while the Rugby and the Uxbridge, owned in Grimsby, met a similar fate. So far as is known no lives were lost in these encounters. According to the crews of the fishing vessels, the submarine which wrought this damage is of the newest type. She has an iron cross painted on her conning tower.

She ran amuck among the fishing fleet on Monday and sank seven trawlers in quick succession. The crews were given time to escape, but in some cases small boats, drifted for hours fore they picked up. Each man coming ashore is exhibiting hugi eh lump of black bread, given him by the crew of the submarine which sent his boat down. The English sailors are preserving these pieces of bread as souvenirs. a Trawlers Blown Up by Boarding Parties.

Hull, England, May 5, 11 a.m.Three more British trawlers have been added to the list of those blown up by German submarines in the North Sea Monday, and it is feared others also were lost as they were shelled and fired upon with rifles by the crew of a submersible. The crews of the trawlers Iolanthe, Hero Northward Ho have landed here, reporting the destruction of their boats. No lives were lost aboard any of the three. A Copenhagen dispatch states that while three trawlers were fishing in the North Sea a German submarine appeared and ordered them to stop. The crews then took to their boats and rowed away, after which the trawlers were blown up by boarding parties from the submarine.

After rowing about for eight hours the fisher en summoned aid by burning articies of clothing which had been attached to the oars. The trawler Hero attempted to escape, but after an exciting chase which lasted an hour the submarine got into close range and opened a fusillade with rifles, whereupon the skipper of the fisherman stopped and the crew took to the small boats. The trawler Portia has reached Hull after an exciting chase in which she managed to elude the submarine which was after her. BRITAIN BUILDING BIG JAMAICA RADIO To supply a need felt 1 by the British navy a powerful wireless station is being built on the highlands of the Island of Jamaica, 3,000 feet above the level of the sea, according to the Rev. George B.

Stallworthy, a Unitarian clergyman, reached New York today aboard the steamer Juan after a five months visit to the island. Mr. Stallworthy said a force of about 300 men had been working on the plant for two months. Mr. Stallworthy said no details as to its equipment or range had been permitted to become public, except that the plant would be a very powerful one, with a long radius of effectiveness.

By long odds, Mr. Stallworthy said, the new station would be the most powerful wireless plant in the West Indies. RUSSIANS PURSUE DEFEATED TURKS Tiflis, Transcaucasia, May 5 (via Petrograd and London--The pursuit of the defeated Turkish Army under the command of Khali Bey, in the Khori-Dilman region of the Caucasus, is being continued, according to trustworthy advices reaching Teflis. battle, which has resulted in heavy losses for the Turks, began April 29, at Hantahta, near Urumiah. In the beginning the Russians stood off the Turks, but the latter received reinforcements, and on April 30 the Russians abandoned Dilman and entrenched themselves at Magonzhic, the first village on the way to Khori.

From this position they pounded the Turks with their heavy artillery until the arrival of Russian reinforcements. Nersus, the Bishop of Tabriz, Persia, who has arrived here, describes the situation at Van as desperate. Eight hundred Turks and a large number of Kurds are active there, destroying Armenian villages. Of 300 inhabItants of the Village of Rachva, only) three scaped.

He jumped into his and drove to the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, where Dr. Seeley dressed his wounds. The assailants, also chauffeurs, drove off before they could be apprehended. BARNES' COMPANY GOT COMMISSIONS; WITNESS SWEARS Winchester Testifies That Journal Corporation Received Bonus for Public Printing. MORE PLATT LETTERS READ.

Roosevelt Will Probably Go on the Stand Again Late This Afternoon. Syracuse, N. May 5-Charles M. Winchester, general manager of the J. B.

Lyon Company of Albany, testified in the Supreme Court here today that his concern had paid commissions upon all orders for public printing received from the Journal Company, controlled by William Barnes. The commissions amounted to thousands of dollars. The witness swore he had never talked to Mr. Barnes about printing contracts. Hundreds of more letters that passed between Theodore Roosevelt and the late Thomas C.

Platt easy the Colonel was nor of New York, Vice President and President of the United States, and Pratt was a United States Senator, were produced during the day, Edward T. Platt, the former Senator's son. Apparently there was nothing of great value to either side in the correspondence as the letters were handed back to Mr. Pratt and not read to the jury. Lists of the holders of stock in the Journal Company compiled, from books supplied by Mr.

Barnes, showed that the former chairman of the Republican State Committee and members of his family held the majority of the stock. Among the other stockholders appeared the names of the late Anthony N. Brady, a Democrat, Charles D. Hilles and Chauncey M. Depew.

Counsel for Colonel. Roosevelt planned to have him go on the stand later in the day. Roosevelt's Counsel Starts Off by Winning a Point. Court was a trifle opening. Stewart Hancock, for Colonel Roosevelt, opened the proceedings with an endeavor to get into the record a stipulation in regard to the suit against the Albany Journal by the State.

He was successful. The stipulation had to do with the publication in the Journal of the Session Laws. John M. Bowers, chief counsel for Colonel Roosevelt, then read into the record a digest of the stockholders of the Journal Company, compiled from the books furnished by Mr. Barnes.

The digest showed that Mr. Barnes held nearly all the common stock and that members of his family held the majority of the preferred stock and some of the common. Recent digests showed that preferred stock was also held at different times by Anthony N. Brady, Levi P. Morton, J.

Hilles, Chauncey M. Depew, Nathaniel berg and others. William J. Nusbaum, a certified public accountant of Albany, was the first witness called. He was asked to tell about an examination he made of He the books of the Journal Company.

told that under heading "Job Printing," entries on the debit side appeared to be the cost of job printing, while on the credit side appeared the income. Mr. Bowers said he wanted to show that the J. B. Lyon Company paid sums of apparently commissions, to the Journal.

Nothing to Show That Barnes Had Any Knowledge, Says Ivins. Mr. vIins objected on the ground that there was nothing to show Mr. Barnes had any knowledge of the corportion's affairs. Counsel argued over this question for some time.

The Court suggested that some witness be called to identify the entries of the book. Mr. Ivins said the general manager of the company was dead and the bookkeeper could not be located. Mr. Bowers argued that the accounts showed that the money of the corporation was disbursed for Mr.

Barnes' own business and that it must be assumed that Mr. Barnes knew at all times about the details of the business of the Journal Company. Mr. Bowers also pointed out the power vested in Mr. Barnes under the bylaws of the corporation.

ress Mr. Barnes wrote a note on a While the arguments were in progpad of paper and hastily passed it to Mr. Ivins, standing in front of the bench. Mr. Bowers remarked, "'These books appear that the plaintiff was running a private business through the agency of the corporation." A discussion arose over a legal point, and the court suggested that the evidence in regard to the books and Mr.

Barnes be held off until laws upon the subjects be looked up. Charles M. Winchester, of the J. B. Lyon Company, was then recalled.

He said the books of that concern showed that there was an account with the Journal Company. He said, after many questions, that there were times when paid the Journal Company commissions or discounts" upon contracts for State, city or county printing. "Paid a Commission to Anybody That Brought Business," Witness Says. "How did you settle with the Jour- nal?" "We settled at the end of the year." "Who collected the bills for that work--the Journal Company?" "Yes, sir. In some cases, however, I believe we billed direct." "Why did you pay these commissions?" "Any man who brings us business is entitled to a commission." "If it was the City of Albany by the would you give the Journal a commission?" "Certainly." "If it brought business from the State, you also would give a that's Just what I want to don't have to explain.

Do you know Mr. Ivins?" "Yes." "Did you confer with him before this case?" "Yes. In New York. I went there with Judge Herrick." "Now answer that question." The witness fenced with court and counsel and then said, "I can't answer." Tells of Commissions Paid to the Journal Company. "Did the Journal Company ever bring you State, county or city business on which you paid the Journal a "Yes."

LAWYERS TITLE TRUST COMPANY 160 Broadway, New York 188 Montague Brooklyn tries for sums of more than $1,000 in the books of the Journal Company must have been for commissions the Lyon Company paid. On cross-examination the witness told of his employment by the J. B. Lyon Company and his previous employmentir.

Barnes ever enter the plant "I never saw him there." Witness also said he never had any conversation with Mr. about the SOcalled McCarthy contract, which was assigned to J. B. Lyon. Platt Produces an Additional Number of His Father's Letters.

Then Edward T. Platt, son of the late Thomas C. Platt, was also recalled for continued tion. He said he had brought with him additional letters he had found in his father's files. He said the first letters he produced were taken from under the cabinet file of "Roosevelt." These additional letters were found under "President." There were, he said, 193 from Senator Platt to Colonel Roosevelt and 160 from the defendant to the Senator.

The letters apparently contained nothing of value to either side, for none of them were read. Mr. Platt said during the time the letters were written his 5 father was in the United States Senate and the defendant was either Governor of New York or President of the United States. OBITUARY.

Washington, May 6-Upon the request of counsel for Leo M. Frank, the Supreme Court today issued its mandate by which the decision of the Georgia Federal District Court denying Frank a writ of habeas corpus was affirmed. Ordinarily the mandate would not have been issued until May 19, thirty days after the court's decision.

ANOTHER HARMONY DINNER.

The followers of Thomas F. Drennan in the Fourth Assembly District are not going to be left behind when it comes to "harmony" dinners. They have announced that they will hold one on the night of Saturday, May 22, at the clubhouse, Taylor street and Bedford avenue. None of the Wagnerites seem to know anything about the dinner when seen today, and the names of none of them appeared on the committee in charge, but the Drennanites insist it will be a real "harmony" dinner just the same.

S. Commission Says Legal Obstacle Might Be Overcome by This Step. Several Brooklyn interests are making an investigation of the right of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to conduct its own car and station advertising. This was the scheme proposed by Colonel Timothy S. Williams, president of the company, after the row with Artemus Ward's Company, which ended in the sensational removal of all the "ads" from the road's system last Saturday morning.

There is talk in these legal circles of instituting a taxpayer's suit if the B. R. T. starts on this venture, on the ground that corporation's franchise gives it only the right to operate a railroad, and not to go into the advertising business. Inquiry at the office of the Bureau of Franchises and the Public Service Commission showed that in none of the several hundred franchises under which the B.

R. T. is operating, is it given the right to do an advertising business. When the situation was brought 1 up at the Public Service Commission today a ready solution was offered by one of the Commissioners. "There might be some question raised," he admitted, "as to the right of the B.

R. operating companies to go into the advertising business, but it would be a perfectly easy and legitimate matter for the company to organize a new subsidiary to handle this business, or, in fact, to have one of its existing subsidiaries which is not in the operating business do this work. "How the railroad plans to take over this business I do not know. It will, however, have to ask the approval of the Commission in awarding the contract for this work, as well as the vending and newspaper -selling privileges." There was no statement forthcoming at the B. R.

T. today as to the method by which it proposes to take over the advertising business. That it will stick to this determination is certain, as Colonel Williams has already made it plain he believes the B. R. T.

could make a great deal more money than under the present arrangement. Some idea of the value of these advertising privileges may be obtained from the fact that several years ago, when Desmond Dunne got the contract for the Coney Island and Brooklyn road's advertising for $6,000 a year, he is reported to have received $5,000 a year for the signs on the front and rear dashboards of the cars alone. It is also interesting to note that while the B. R. T.

has been getting but $217,000 a year from the Artemus Ward interests, that same advertising firm offered $11,400,000 for the fifteenyear contract with the Interborough last fall that didn't go through. Under the dual contracts advertising placards will not be allowed on the station platforms of any of the new subway lines. BROOKLYN WEEK FOR BLIND At the Bureau of Charities Building, 289 Schermerhorn street, today, the committee of arrangements of the Brooklyn Week for the Blind Association, held its first meeting. Miss Campbell is the chairman of the affair. The fair will be held at 178 Montague street, and each night there will be a different sub-committee in charge.

For Friday of next week a committee from the D. A. R. will have complete charge of the work. Miss Campbell said that she wanted it understood that the articles to be bought at this fair will in no way have exorbitant prices, but can be bought for less than at any other place.

A department store has volunteered to deliver all goods too large to take home by hand. CATCH THIEF IN CHASE. In running for a car at the Williamsburg Bridge Plaza this morning Joseph A. Eichner, 1392 Madison street, fell; his clothes were covered with mud and his hands and face were bleeding. He went to a waiting room on the plaza and removed his coat and vest to brush them.

An a arm reached over a partition and seized the vest, in which Eichner had left a valuable gold watch. The thief ran across the Plaza with Eichner and a policeman in pursuit. The man was captured. He said he was Anton Fuchstadt, 35 years old, of 229 Devoe street. Magistrate Dodd in the Manhattan avenue court held him in $500 bail for a hearing.

Lackawanna The Road of Railroad Anthracite MARCONI IN COURT AT WIRELESS SUIT He Will Testify in Action Brought by His Company Against Sayville Concern, INFRINGEMENT IS CLAIMED. Engineer Weagand Testifies He Visited Telefurken Plant and Found Similar Apparatus. Leading scientists from several of the world among the pioneers in wireless telegraphy will give testimony in the suit for infringement of patents begun today before Judge Van Vechten Veeder in United States District Court by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America against the Atlantic Communication Company and others, representing in this country the German Telefunken Wireless System, which is maintaining the only means of communication between this country and Germany through the wireless station at Sayville, L.

I. Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor and a large owner of stock in the plaintiff company, was one of the most interested spectators in court when the case was called. He is expected to take the witness stand late this afternoon. Other scientists to testify in the case will include Nicola Tesla, Professor Braun of Germany and Professor Pupin of Columbia University. The plaintiff specifically charges the defendant company with infringing Patent No.

609154, obtained by Sir Oliver Lodge at Washington, after certain discoveries in wireless making, and which were subsequently transferred to the Marconi interests, in infringing Patent No. 763772, obtained by Mr. Marconi in this country in 1904, after he had made certain improvements on the Lodge appliances. I T. H.

Betts, of Sheffield Betts, of Ma. attan, attorneys of record for the Marconi Company, opened the case for the plaintiff. He referred to the defendant's admissions in its answer on file that the plaintiff company was the owner of the Marconi and Lodge patents referred to. He offered in evidence a letter written by Sheffield Betts on Nove.ber 8, 1912, warning the Atlantic Communication Company that it was infringing these two patents at its plant at Sayville. The first witness was Roy A.

Weagand, an electrical engineer for the Marconi company. gaged in designing and research. world what he had seen during a visit to the station at Sayville on September 7, 1912, the effect of his testimony being to show that the apparatus used there was identical with the appliances covered by the Marconi and Lodge patents. ANTON WEBER DIES; ONCE CITY AUDITOR Well-Known German, Long Prominent in Democratic Affairs of Brooklyn. Anton Weber, one of the best known Democrats in this country, and auditor of the City of Brooklyn in the early nineties, died today at his home, 459 East Twenty-first street, after a three months' illness, at the age of nearly eighty-one years.

Mr. Weber was born at Weinheim, in the Province of Rheinish Hesse, Germany, on November 18, 1834. His father was Burgomaster of his native town. In 1847 Anton Weber came to the United States with his mother and engaged in the cracker and bigcuit business. Mr.

Weber was prominent among the members of the old volunteer fire department, and was for many years foreman and trustee of the company to which he belonged. He was a member of nearly all the associations that perpetuate the memory of the volunteer days, and was also connected with numerous German and German-American organizations. He was an active member and past master of Lessing Lodge No. 608, F. and A.

and a member of the Brooklyn Saengerbund, over whose affairs he presided for many years. In 1860 he married Miss Lambert of Brooklyn. On November 18 of last year, Mr. Weber celebrated his eightieth birthday at home in Flatbush. Mr.

Weber was the father of Charles Weber, assistant to the chief clerk in the Flatbush court, and is survived also by his wife and several sisters. Church and Masonic services will be held for Mr. Weber, but no definite arrangements have as yet been made. SEEK RIPPER IN TENEMENTS. Force Increased in Quest for Slayer of Murray Boy.

Although it was admitted this morning that the police have made no progress in running down the murderer of four-year-old Charles Murray, whose body was found in the hallway of his home, 270 First avenue, Manhattan, Monday night, Acting Captain Gildea, of the Second Detective Branch, and a squad of his men were still at work on the case today. A number of patrolmen also are working on the case in plain clothes Every tenement in the neighborhood being searched, and the tenants questioned. mother of the boy suffered a breakdown this morning when talking of the little fellow. Several floral pieces were received at the Murray home. A large string of pink carnations, with a card bearing the words, "Our greatest gympathy," but no name, was received and pinned to the white crape on the door this morning.

The Murray family is in straitened circumstances. NEW WITNESS AVERS NO ONE FLED CARMAN LAWN AFTER MURDER heard and gave the impression that she was ill at ease. Two large black feathers on her hat bobbed up and down as Mrs. Black's head moved quickly from side to side. evening did you hear any sound?" asked Mr.

Smith. "Yes." "What "The breaking of glass." "Anything else?" "What seemed an explosion." "From what direction did it come?" "From the Carman house." "When you heard it, where did you go?" "To the end of the porch near the Carman house." "Did you go anywhere else?" "Yes, down off the porch and under the tree near the house." "What place was that tree window in the Carman house." site?" "When you got under the tree, what did you see "I saw a man." "Where was he?" Saw a Man by the Window, Says Mrs. Black. "When I saw him he was by the window." "Next to the porch?" "Yes." "How long had you been at the tree when you saw the man?" "When I got there." "Did you see him go?" "Yes." "Was he tall or short?" "Short." "Did you notice your clothing?" "Only his hat- -it was slouch hat." "Was anyone at the picket fence?" "I did not see anyone." "When you heard the breaking of glass and the explosion, was it before or after dark?" "Before dark." "Did you see anyone running?" "No one." "Were the street lamps lighted?" "No." "Can you give us the time?" "Shortly before 8." "Who was with you?" "My daughter, Ruth." "Did she go out with you?" "Yes." That was all and then Mr. Levy took up the cross-examination.

Mrs. Black said she did not know Mrs. Carany the family. you have a match with "No." "When you heard the explosion did you know what it was?" "No." "Was your husband there?" "Yes." "Did he say, 'That's an auto explosion'?" "Yes." "What did you say." "I told him I thought not." "But you didn't actually know, did you?" "No, I did not." "You had no idea what it was, did you "That is true." "But it came from the east?" "It did." "When you heard the explosion you couldn't see the Carman house, could you?" "No." "Where could you first see the Carman home?" "Just around the corner." "How long after the explosion did you see this man at the window" "Almost immediately." Ruth Black, a small girl, not many years older than little Elizabeth Carman, came to the stand when her mother was excused. Ruth said she is 16, but she does not look over 14.

She corroborated her mother's statement as to the breaking of glass and the explosion, adding only that they came together. The little girl testifled that she, too, saw the man at the Carman window, but she could not definitely identify him. "Did you see anyone running?" "No." "Did you hear anyone?" "No." "Did you hear anyone break a stick "No." "Did you see anyone break a stick?" She was then excused. Tried to Break Defense's Story That Man Ran Across Lawn. It was evident that the prosecution had intended to use Mrs.

Black and her daughter to break down the detense's story that a man ran across the property after the shooting. Neither Mrs. Black nor Ruth could say a man did not run across the yard, although they did say they saw no one. The witness, Golder, answers to some degree the meager description given by the women, of the man, but it might also have been the tramp, Frank Farrell, who will not testify at this trial. Archie Post of Freeport was then called, and for the first time described the two women who, he says, left the office of the doctor just before the shooting.

Hits Prosecution's Case by Swearing Street Lamps Were Lighted. Post then fired a small bombshell into the prosecution's case by saying that when he went out after the shooting the street lights were lighted. Mre. Black and Ruth Black had said a few moments before that it was daylight street lights were not aglow. Then the prosecution called George (Continued From Page 1.) Golder, the little gardener, who had been in the doctor's office.

Golder's story of going to the house on the night of the shooting, finding the walting room filled and going away again, to return later, just before the shooting, was substantially the same as at the first trial. He said he had arrived at the house at 7 o'clock, the first time. He got back at 7:30. he stated. Golder, having fixed the time of the shooting at 7:30 p.m., told of seeing the body of Mrs.

Bailey lying on the floor of the office when Dr. Carman asked him to come into the office. He said the doctor claimed he did not know the woman and wanted Theodore Bedell to come and identify her. He made a slight addition to his testimony on the previous trial by saying that he staid in the waiting room after he had helped move the body of Mrs. Bailey to the couch.

Golder could not remember seeing any policeman, but he did remember seeing a colored girl there. The witness then stated that he had seen Mrs. Powell and her mother in the office while he was there. At the coroner's inquest Golder identifled Mrs. Carman as one of the women in the office.

Just before Golder was excused he was caught in another contradiction. He had said that the time of the shooting was 7:30 and that he got home at 8:45 o'clock. Then he said he could not walk from Carman's home to his house in less than half an hour. Then, he added, it was moonlight when he went out. Under cross examination Golder said he went out on the grass near the tree when he heard the shot.

At the coroner's inquest Golder said he was on the walk all of the time. "Did you see Mrs. Carman in the office the night of the shooting?" "No." "Did you see her at all?" "No." "Did you see Mrs. Powell?" Te "Yes." "Did she help you move the body?" "She did." "When you were in the office, was the door open?" "Yes." "Was Mrs. Bailey breathing when you went in?" "She was." "Was Mrs.

Powell in there then?" "No." "When did she come in?" "After gone out to get Post to go for Bedell." Courtroom Crowded Today; Coroner Norton First Witness. The courtroom was comfortably Alled with visitors when court opened today and, as was the case in the last trial, the great majority were women. Many of them came in automobiles. The opening witness for the day was Coroner Gordon Norton of Wantagh, who held the first inquest. There was considerable delay at the opening of the trial because for some reason George Levy was not present.

He came in in a short time, however, carrying two large suitcases. Coroner Norton, in his testimony, explained that he was called to the Carman home on the night of June 30, 1914, and saw the body of Mrs. Bailey lying on the couch. Mr. Norton described Mrs.

Bailey's wounds just as he did at the last trial, and then the buttlet which killed Mrs. Bailey was introduced by the prosecution. Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Conklin's sister, made her first appearance in the court today and with her was little Elizabeth, the daughter of Mrs.

Carman, whose testimony, it is said, is likely to receive a severe hammering by the District Attorney when she goes on the stand. Platt Conklin, Mrs. Carman's father, also sat behind the defendant. Mrs. Carman was more cheerful today and turned several times to talk to little Elizabeth, who was dressed in a short coat of plaid and a white dress, with a straw hat covered with yellow daisies.

Elizabeth did not look as well as she did at the last trial. Walter Coussens of Freeport was the second witness. He was the special officer the village who was in charge of Police Headquarters and who received the telephone call to hurry to the Carman house.
