Captain Emellie, of the British steamer Crossby today filed witn me British Consul at .Newport News a statement to the ef feet that he saw the sinking- of the Al lan liuer Hesperian by a. torpedo fired Irom a German submarine. lie says the submarine gave chase to the Crossby and that only by putting on full steam and steering1 a zigzag course in the darkness was he able to escape. Captain Smellie's statement, it was said, will be sent to the British Ad miralty to refute the assertion from Berlin that the Hesperian was sunk by j u uuttLing mine. Captain Smellie says he left London August 31 for Newport News, and that late in the afternoon of September 4 he sighted a liner a few miles off his star board bow. He learned later the vessel was the Hesperian. Just about dark, he Bays, the liner appeared to give a lurch and began to sink by the head. He started to her assistance, but had hardly gotten the bow of his vessel around when he discovered a submarine making directly for him. He was forced to turn his vessel around and rang for full speed ahead. Then he sent an or der to the fireroom to put on all the Bteam the boilers could stand. He kept the stern of his vessel toward the submarine and steered a zigzag course. All lights on the Crossby were extinguished. He says the submarine did not open fire on his vessel and when morning came had disappeared. systematically in all the school dis tricts of the city, a meeting was held Thursday in the Library, with repre sentatives from all the Parent-Teacher organizations present.

SAFE CRACKERS BUNGLE Attempt on Empty Vault Evidently Mjade by Amateurs. Amateur safe blowers, who let them selves down at the rear of the feed store of Young & Northrup, 291 Front street by a bed sheet tied to the bed post in a room they had engaged the night before, made a bungling job of safe cracking early Thursday morning, and escaped without any loot. Several holes were blown in the safe nd the outside door was blown off, but the inner door was not touched and the yeggs were evidently frightened away by the noise that had been made by an overdose of nttro-glycerine. Sacks of grain were used to deaden the noise. The strong box for it contained nothing . of value. LIGHTNING FIRES TREE Firemen Extinguish Flames Started on East Side by Bolt. Coming out from under a. low hung sky, a . bolt of lightning yesterday afternoon spent itself on a maple tree in Hawthorne Park, on East Madison between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The fire spread to the grass and fire men sent from Engine House No. 23 chopped and stamped the blaze away, but not until the burning trees and shrubbery afforded considerable ex citement to the large crowd of children who gathered. The shock frightened the children in session in Hawthorne School, who were temporarily disturbed by the flash. There was only one audible report during the electrical storm of the afternoon. Eatimntca on Value of Legal Serf lcrtf Range From 92SOO on One Side to 50,000 on Other. Two hypothetical questions, covering the same subject matter, brought a wide variety of answers from lawyers on the witness-stand Thursday, in the suit of George S. Shepherd for $25,000 attorney fees for services performed on behalf of the Inman-Poulsen Lum ber Company. The suit is being tried in Judge Davis' court. Eight prominent at torneys, called by the plaintiff, had estimated the services to be worth from 20,000 to 50,000. Then Cake & Cake, attorneys defend ing the lumber company, called law yers on their own behalf. They read a long hypothetical question covering the services Mr. Shepherd is said to have performed, and asked, "What would be your fee?" A. C. Emmons said $5000, A. L. Veazie said $5000, Roscoe Nelson said $3000 to $5000, Oglesby Young said $2500 to $4030. Thomas Green said $5000, John K. Kollock said $3000, W. C. Benbow said $5000. W. Y. Masters said $5000. R. W. Wilbur said $5000 to $6000, Alex Sweet said $3000 to $5000. "But the two hypothetical questions set up different statements of fact," explained R. W. Wilbur from the witness-stand. "If Mr. Shepherd did what Mr. Cake says he did, it would be worth $5000 to $6000 in my esti mation. If he did what he himself says he did, it would be worth $15,000 to $20,000." Then Mr. Shepherd sprung his own hypothetical question on some of his opponents' witnesses. Under the con ditions he named, A. C. Emmons said he would charge $20,000 to $25,000, A. L. Veazie said $25,000, Thomas Green $20,000 to $25,000, John K. KoUock $20,000 and W. Y. Masters $20,000. STUDENTS CAST VOTE Election at Washington High Most Exciting Yet Held.
