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. I anticipate
that a great many more counties now
unaffected by this law will come un?
der the provisions of the law at this
session of the legislature In fact,
I am In hopes that the hunters' li?
cense law wi 1 be a State-wide meas?
ure."
Amount received from sale of

1, 1111, to January 1, 1916, and

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.

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,

TEN OTHERS INJURED ON AMER?
ICAN SUBMARINE.
Terrific Explosion Within Hull Comes
During Repair Work on the E-2.
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.

{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.
