(TO BB OONTttfT?).) GAME WARDEN'S REPORT. A. A. Richardson Makes Statement of BonetUa Derived by Schools From Hunters' License. Columbia. Jan. 16.?The annual re? port of Col A. A. Richardson, chief gams warden, shows that the. Income from ths enforcement of the hunters' license law for the six months from July 1st to December 31st, was nearly $11,000. Or this amonut more than $?,000 waa paid to ths school fund of the respective counties, being, the net proceeds after paying ths expenses of enforcing ths law. Section 4 of the hunters' Utsenee law provides ths;: "at ths snd of each year the chief game warden shall return to each county the total amount col? lected from the sales of hunting li? censes In each county, less the actual cost of enforcing the laws. In sad county." "My statement," says Col. Richard sen, "shows that In 17 counties af? fected by this law In ths paat six months a total of $11,824.60 was col? lected from the sales of hunting li? censee and that the schools of thene sountiee received the amount of $6, 143.03. I have tried to he as economi? cal as possible in ths expenditure of the license money for law enforce? ment and from my statement it will be seen that less than 60 per csnt of the license rovenue has been ussd for law enforcement. I mailed to each county treasurer last night the amount due the school funds ot his county*. . "The hunters' license law has work? ed most successfully in all of the counties affected by it.

SENSATIONAL REPORT SUP? PRESSED. Admiral FlcUlwr Said t? Hate Kxpos cd Glaring Defects In Navy. Washington, Jan. 15.?It was learn? ed today that the report of Admiral Frank Fletchor, commander of the Atlantic fleet, sets forth glaring and grave defects In the American navy and for that reason was suppressed oy Secretary Daniels, and later sup? pressed In the senate. The report shows during the war games off the Atlantic coast an "enemy" navy suc? ceeded In landing In Delaware. Ad? miral Fletcher frankly admits that the navy, as present constituted, Is not an ' efficient weapon of defense." von pro w?rk mm ACCOUNTS SEIZED BY BRITISH SHOW HOSTILE ACTIVITIES. Books and Check Stubs of Former , German Attache Show That He Was ' Connected With "tJsers of Bombs? Turned, over tv^ Afawlcmns ,by Pol? ish. London, Jan. 14.?Copies of cor? respondence seized from Capt. Franz von Papen, .recalled German military attache at Washington, when lie reached Falmouth on his way to Ger? many, have been turned over to the American embassy for transmission to the state department. They show that Capt. von Papen made frequent payments1 to persons charged with the responsibility ? for blowing up muni? tions works and bridges In the United States. I One entry shows that Capt. von Papen gave $700 to Werner Horn, who was arrested In connection with the blowing up of a Canadian Pacific railway bridge at St. Croix, Me. The day before this check was issued the German embassy paid $2,000 into j Capt. von Papon's account. I Capt. von Papen's check stubs, hank books and letters from his bank, the Rlggs National bank of Washing ton, show about 600 items, many of i which had to do with routine expen? ditures. Others, however, revealed ' payments to various persons who have figured prominently in the ac? tivities of German agents in America. Several large payments were made to Capt. von Papen by Count von Bernstor IT. Most of these were for salaries or bonuses. A number of en? tries showed payments made by*the ambassador to the military attache for "war intelligence office." In January, 1916, Capt. von Papen gays a check payable to Amsick. & Jo., New York, but with the name *E. Kdepferle" in brackets on the utub. This Is believed to have refer? ence to the man named Keupfsrle, who, after being arrested in England an a charge or espionage, committed I lutcido, leaving a written confession ; n hie cell. Another check stub shows that '.tbout two weeks before the explosion in Seattle on May 30, 1916? Cap!,, von Papen sent $600 to the German con? sulate at Seattle. In February of 1916, ha sent $1,300 to the German consulate In that city. As an example of the size of the captains' financial operations his hank book shows that in January of 1916, lie received approximately $6,400 and paid out $5,000. Among the letters taken from Capt. von Papen there is little of Interest iritjh the exception of a letter from ,the former German consul at New Or? leans condoling with him on his recall f rom Washington and criticising se? verely the attitude of the American government. The explosion that partly wrecked the; railroad bridge over the St. Croix river, the International boundary be? tween Maine and New Brunswick, oc? curred February 2, last. After Horn was arrested in connection with the explosion, he was indicted in the fed? eral court In Boston on charges that he transported explosives on passen? ger trains for the attempted destruc? tion of the bridge. He was taken to Boston for trial but refused to plead and filed an appeal from the decision, demanding his release on a habeas corpus writ on the ground that his extradition from the United States to Canada was tiled by the British gov? ernment, but never was granted. The appeal in the Boston case is still pend? ing. Horn was found to be a German reservist. Anton Kuepferle, who claimed to be a naturalized American citizen living at one time In Brooklyn, sailed from New York to Liverpool last February arid shortly afterwards was arrested in London on the charge of writing a let? ter to an address In a neutral country In Europe giving valuable facts regard? ing British military dispositions. His trial began In May, but while it was in progress he committed suicide In Brixton prison. DENIES WRONGDOING. Consul at Atlanta Explains Receipt of Money. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 14.-?Dr. Wilhelm Mueller, former German consul at Seattle and now consul here, stated today that he had received money from time to time from the German cir.bar.sy at Washington "and possibly from von Papen," but declared that this money was used for enabling. German subjects to go from Seattle to New York on i.he chance that they might return to Germany, j The consul's statement was made when ho was shown London dis 1 patches saying that papers taken from Ca|>t. Franz von Papen, recalled mili? tary attache of the German embassy at Washington, showed von Papon had sent $600 to the German consul at Seattle about two weeks before an explosion at Seattle on May 30 last.

New York, Jan. 15.?Four men were killed and ten injured, five dan? gerously, in an explosion today on the submarine E-2 while the craft was undergoing repairs in dry dock at. the New York navy yard. One of the men killed was an enlisted electrician and the others civilian workers. At least three of the ten now in hospitals are not expected to live. The dead: R. B. Seabert, electric? ian, second class; James H. Peck, civilian, general helper, Brooklyn; P. Schultz, civilian, machinist, Brooklyn; Joseph Logan, civilian, general helper, Brooklyn. The injured: U C. Miles, chief elec? trician, Brooklyn; Ramon Otto, elec? trician, Middlesburg, Md.; Guy H. Clark, Jr., Frankfort, N. Y.; John Holsey, Baltimore; James Lyons, civilian; Henry Zoll, civilian; Otto Haasert, civilian; Richard Heine, civilian; Michael Peyser, civilian; Au? gust Kaplln, civilian. The detonation was terrific, but the submarine itself from the outside shows no effects. Ths interior was badly shattered, but so tight was the vessel's shell that there was no mean's of escape for gas and It was more than an hour after the blast before the work of recovering the bodies could be com? pleted. A ladder blown up through the conning tower fell 150 feet away. The injured and one body were re? moved soon after the accident, but three bodies far down in the craft could not be reached until the gas had been blown out by compressed air. . Soon after the. explosion several naval officers led a rescue party but were partly overcome by fumes. It wsa then that . compressed air pipes were run into the shell. Ths number of men inside the sub? marine at the time of the explosion is not known definitely. About 20 were working on the craft. It is not thought possible that any one who was inside could have es? caped Injury. What caused the explosion has not been definitely decided. Bear Ad* mlral Nathaniel R. Usher, com? mandant of the navy yard, after a brief .investigation, declined to ex? press ski opinion. He said: "The men were at work in the bat? tery compartment of the E-2 putting I the new Edison batteries through a rheostat to measure the voltage and I the explosion occurred in that com? partment. The battery will generate no kind of gas and there was no gas? oline on board. The engine was of the oiirburnlng Disel type." Pending the appointment of an offi? cial hoard of inquiry Rear Admiral Usher named a temporary investigat |lng committee as follows: Lieut. Com? mander Pope, Washington, com? mander of the receiving ship Maine; Lieut L. M. Stewart of the torpedo boat destroyer McCall and Lieut. Rush P. Fay, commander of the sub? marine division to which ths E-2 was I attached. This committee immedi? ately began to take the testimony. The opinion was expressed that the process of withdrawing the charge from the batteries might have caused the formation of hydrogen gas. The explosions of that nature have been frequent on submarines of all navies and several light ones have occur? red on American boats. The E-2 was the only vessel in the world equipped with the Edison nickel batteries and she made her first trip with them December 7, last. It was reported that the new batteries gave better speed with less fuel. The Edison battery, experiments i have proved, generates-nearly double [the ordinary amount of hydrogen during the process of charging hut on discharge or while lying idle gives off much less. During the battery trials there were reports from her officers of an undue amount of hy? drogen. The boat made one trip I with observers aboard and it was re? ported that while in operation not enough gas was generated to be dan? gerous. is absolutely unfounded," ho declared, {accompanying the statement with ges? tures which shook the bed to which (a dislocated kneecap had confined him. A fall last Sunday caused the injured knee, und since then Dr. Muel? ler has been in bed at home. "I do not recall that I received a specific sum from von Papen," Dr. Mueller said, "but I often furnished money to Germans who wanted to go jto New York on the chance that they I might reach Germany. I was reim? bursed by the German embassy at 'Washington, and possibly from von I Papen himself on behalf of tho em? bassy." ' At the consul's office, before he ?ould be reached at his home, a simi? lar explanation had been made. FORD EXPEDITION HOPES. ACTIVE PEACE CAMPAIGN TO BEGIN AT HAGUE. Board Members Stay While Others of Party Will Come Home, Much to the Disappointment of Some. The Hague (via London), Jan. 14.? On the eve of the disbanding of the Ford peace expedition and the de? parture on Saturday of a majority of the American members for New York. Dr. Charles F. Aked on behalf of the members of the permanent peace board which remains in Europe to? night gave out the details of what it is hoped will be accomplished. He said: "As soon as William J. Bryan, Miss Jane Addams and Henry Ford arrive at The Hague, which we have reason to believe will be soon, active work looking to peace will be begun. After going thoroughly into the claims of each nation and considering the possi? bilities for peace we shall make a ten? tative campagn. Then two members of the board will visit each belligerent nation and invite the most prominent men of the nation to appear before the board and give their ideas of how peace can be brought about. We will invite the thinkers. "The greatest minds that Europe an Asia possess shall appear before us. Everything possible will be done by the board." All the members of the expedition who left New York six weeks ago, ex? cept the members of the permanent board and a sufficient office force, will return on the steamer Rotterdam which leaves Rotterdam Saturday. Gaston Plan tiff, representative of Henry Ford, announced tonight that all members of party must leave then or pay their own return passage. This caused much disappointment as some members of the party expected to re? turn whenever they pleased. Mr. Plantiff estimated the expense of the expedition to date and including the return trip at $375,000. The cost of keeping the permanent peace board is expected to reach a total of $1,000,000. It has not. been decided whether the permanent board will meet at The Hague, at Stockholm, or alternate be? tween the Scandinavian capitals. THREE FIRES REPORTED.
