HIDDEN POCKETS

Three White Men Arrested
as Pickpockets Had
$792 on Hand
ARE IDENTIFIED
AFTER DETECTIVE WORK
???? <
f
Merchant Who Lost $500 Picks
Out Men as Those Who Jostled
Him.
Under the prying fingers of local
detectives in Charlotte, N. C., last
week during the course of a search
took place at an early hour last Friday
morning, hidden pockets in the clothes
of three alleged pickpockets, gave up:
an aggregate sum of $792. The three
rich veins of currency extraction were
John Miller, G. W. Wilson, alias G. W.
Haskill, and William Monaghan, the
trio of white men who were arrested
by Charlotte officers on Tuesday, suspected
of complicity in the light-fingered
art as practiced upon circus-day
visitors. By far the greater portion
of this amount was taken from the;
person of Miller, where in a pocket
beneath the waistband of his trousers,
$571 in currency was found snugly reposing.
In a similar recess in the
trousers of Wilson, $146 was removed,
while Monaghan, the pauper of the
trio., could muster but $75.
Are Identified.
Mr- JE. T. Huneycutt of Stanfield,
Stanly County, whose pocket was pick
ed on Tuesday for a roll which reached
the sum of $500, identified the
il c .* 1 _ . _ j l i _
uiree men positively as me same wno
crowded and jostled him on North
Tryon street a few moments after
the conclusion of the parade. It was
but an instant later that the realization
came that his mazuma had departed,
along with the rude strangers.
Mi*. Huneycutt also gave an excellent
description of the denomination of the
currency lost; a description which tallies
accurately with the denomination
of the bills removed from the person
of Miller. The Stanly County man
also remembers especially this member
of the trio as the one who was
closest to him during the jostling process.
In addition to Mr. Huneycutt, a
number of other callers made their
appearance at the police station during
the course of the day; despoiled
wallet owners whose losses had ranged
from $12 to $30. One of this number
was of the opinion that Miller was
also the man who frisked him in the
crowd, but was unwilling to risk a
positive identification.
Admit Greenville Hotel Bill.
Confronted by Mr. Alan B. Henry
yesterday morning, the three prisoners
for the first time admitted culpability
in the matter of a Greenville, S.
C., hotel bill, the indirect medium
through which they now find themselves
in limbo. Mr. Henry is manager
of the Ottaray Hotel, the leading
hostelry of the South Carolina city,
where Miller, Wilson, and Monaghan
were registered under assumed names.
The1 trio departed without the formality
of a settlement. Upon his arrival
in this city, the Greenville man presented
the page from the Ottaray register,
bearing the fictitious signatures
of his erstwhile guests. In company
with Detective Joe Orr, a visit
was paid to local hotels and at the
Selwyn, the signature of "J. W. Barber"
was found, whose chirography
corresponded to the name of "A. B.
Lowery," upon the Ottaray exhibit.
The officer and hotel man then called
at the room assigned "?J. W. Barber,"
and finding it devoid of occupants,
made a thorough search of the several
suit cases and other posessions in the
room. Nothing incriminating was
discovered. The eye of the detective
was taken however, with a pair of
gold headed umbrellas, identical in appearance,
which were among the posessions
of the absent ones.
Those (iold Headed Umbrellas.
Although the hotfd lobby was
watched carefully during the day, the
sought men did not appear. In the
afternoon, Detective Orr trailed the
| carriers of a gold-headed umbrella in
I to a local moving picture house on
West Trade street but in the hope that
he would meet the other two men, fore
j went arrest. This man later preyed
to be Miller. While standing in front
( of the theatre awaiting the exhibit of
the quary, the officer spied across the
street, a man carrying the mate to the
), f ?

surveilance. Fearing to leave the

neither yielded to repeated attempts.
Some of the robbers guarded the

back along the track to stop a freight

forward word to Detective L. L. Wilson
and Patrolman Walter Orr, but
the second man had disappeared
Equipped with a description of the
umbrella, detectives were dispatched
to various railway stations. It was at
the Seaboard that Detective Officers
Wilson and Orr pounced upon upon
the second umbrella carier, who prov- ,
ed to be Wilson. Miller was subsequently
followed to his room at the
Selwyn, where in company with Monaghan
and a third man, he was arrested.
The third man ,a Raleigh resident,
was not tangibly connected with |
the transaction and was later released.
The officers assert that either Miller
or Monaghan had just handed a large .
roll of bills to the Raleigh man before
an entrance was effected into the
room. Detectives Orr and Bradley,
and Patrolman Orr constituted the .
raiding party, the two gum-shoe artists
having followed Miller through
devious turns before his arrival at the
Selwyn.
Although identified by Mr. Henry
as the neglected guests, the trio stoutly
denied the allegation at headnuart
ers and claimed mistaken identity. Tt
was later they laughingly admitted
the hotel bill and paid the Greenville
proprietor.

NOTEOF PROTEST
SENT TO BRITAIN
Against Interference With the
Commerce of America With
the Neutral Trade.
WAS STARTED SUNDAY
BY SPECIAL MESSENGER
Is About 10,000 Words Long
and is Known to Repeat
Protest.
Washington.?America's long considered
protest against British intei
ference with commerce between the
United states and Europe has been
dispatched to London by special messenger
And will be presented by Ambassador
Page at the British foreign
office this week. It became known
that the note, which is about 10,000
words long and covers exhaustively
thr> argument of the American government
on all phases of interference
with neutral trade, was approved by
the President and started on its way
to London.
Alexander W. Kirk, third secretary
of the American embassy at Berlin,
who had returned to Washington carrying
documents from Ambassador
Gerard, was entrusted with the mission
on his return journey to Berlin.
\\ as Kept Secret.
The fact that the communication
had been sent was kept secret, instructions
having been given to officials
that no announcement of any
kind was to be made about it. That it
contains a rcpitition of argument
made in the note of March 30th which
recorded the Washington government's
first protest against the order
in council of so-called blockade, is admitted,
but iio intimation was given
by officials as to what measures are
proposed in the event that there is no
modification of British practices.
Not only does the latest communication
cover the various notes and
memoranda sent b> the British government
since March 30, but it also ac
knowledges and discusses the lenethv
note that came from Great Britain in
January in response to the first p/'Jlests
by the United States again? t
interference with neutral trade.
Note Bryan Wanted to Send.
It was the note new on its way
which former Seciotarv Bryan advocated
sending at the si/me time that
the second i.usitania note was dispatched
to Berlin last o'uue.
President Wilson declined to send
it at that time because of the fear
that the United States might be placed
in the position of baragining for its
rights with Germany on the basis of
its attitude toward Great Britain
With the clearing up of the submarine
controversy through the satisfactory
settlement of the Arabic case, it was
announced at the State Department
that the note to Great Britain would
go forward.

DEFECTS!^ SUBMARINE
CAUSE OF DISASTER
Members of Crew Who Lost
Lives Absolved From
Blame by Board.
Washington.?A graphic story of
the battle of life waged in vain, 300
feet beneath the surface of the sea by
21 men who perished in the navy's sub
marine F-4 last March at Honolulu
is told indhe final report of the loss of
the vessel submitted by a board of inquiry
headed by Admiral Busch. Examination
of the wrecked hull convinced
the board that the disaster was
caused by a leak resulting from a corroded
battery lining and the failure of
the boat to respond to the rudder
change which should have returned
her to the surface.
Discarding the theory once advanced
that chlorine gas brought quick relief
in death to the crew, the board,
from signs within the rusted and battered
hulk pieces gives out in its report
a dramatic account of how the
doomed men strove desperately to
save themselves as their vessel sank.
Fifteen met death in th engine room,
where they sought refuge at the last;
six died at their posts in the flooded
forward compartment.
All membes of the ship's company
are absolved from blame in this tribute:
V..? l\ 1 1
i/ui* io carelessness.
"From the facts established we find
that the accident resulting in the disaster
to the U. S. submarine F-4 on
March 25, 1915, was not due to carelessness,
negligence or inefficiency on
the part of the officers or men of the
vessel and that, furthermore, the personnel
remained at their respective
stations until all effective means employed
to avert the disaster impending
had failed and thereafter sought refuge."
