ANOTHER NEUTRAL VESSEL IS SUNK BY HUN U-BOAT

Norwegian S. S. Augvald is Shelled, Bombed, Three Drowned, Three Missing. ' AN ATLANTIC PORT. July 9. Another neutral ship, the Norwegian steamship Augvald, 2,098 tons, bound from a French port for Baltimore, has fallen a victim of a German submarine. A transatlantic liner, in port today, brought the news of the sinking of the Augvald In mldocean on June 23, and also landed eleven members of the crew and twenty-seven men. Three of the crew were drowned and the remaining thirteen are unaccounted for. The rescued men were picked up by the liner, after having drifted helplessly eleven days, subsisting most of that time on seaweed and rainwater wrung from their clothing or caught In their caps. They were in an exhausted condition when picked up, but, by careful nursing on bord the liner, they had fairly recovered when they reached here. . Tell Tale Over Ship's Side. According to members of the crew, who told their story In fragments over the side of the liner when she docked, the Hun seawolf adopted the same methods as used by the U-boat in their recent operations off the Atlantic coast. The steamship was stopped by shell fire, the crew ordered into two boats, and the vessel then sunk with bombs. Capt. Egge of the Augvald left the ship with twelve men in his boat and became separated from the other lifeboat containing fourteen of the crew. For two days the latter boat drifted about and then was upset in a storm. Three of the men were swept away; the others managed to right the boat and bale it out They lost all their food and fresh water and even their oars. Chew Seaweed. Drifting helplessly, the men began to suffer for want of food and water. Seaweed was eagerly snatched up and chewed and every device they could think of was resorted to to catch rainwater. There was a succession of rainstorms and the men were almost con. tlnually drenched. Day after day went by, and finally, on July 4, the rescue ship came over the horizon and the exhausted and starving castaways were soon safely on the deck of the liner and being given comfort. Simultaneously with the arrival of the submarined crew warnings were sent out today that hostile U-boats may be encountered between latitudes 86 and 45 north. On July 5 an enemy submarine was reported in latitude 42.32 north, longitude 43.50 west.

DR. RUMELY

Continued From Page One. Instead of being American owned, as Dr. Rumely, who is vice president secretary and publisher of the Evening Mall, is alleged to have stated to A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, the Mall, in fact, according to Merton E. Lewis, state attorney general, and Harold Harper, assistant Uunted States district attorney, is owned by the Imperial German government. The arrest of Dr. Rumely, which caused a sensation in newspaper circles here, followed several weeks of investigation concerning the financial transaction for the purchase of the Evening Mail. Examined Books. The first suspicion that German money paid for the Mail, is is said, came through an investigation by federal authorities of the books of Hugo Schmidt, the German financial agent in this country. The money, amounting to $1,361,000 used in this transaction, which Attorney General Lewis said has been carefully traced and checked up, was obtained in this country through the sale of German war loans. "The documents in the case," Attorney General Lewis stated, "indicate that Rumely purchased the stock of the Mall and Express Company from Henry L. Stoddard in June, 1915, the money paid to Rumely being drawn from deposits of the German government at various banks in the city of New York, the accounts standing' in the name of Bernatorff, the former ambassador of Germany at Washington, and of Dr. Heinrich Albert, who was known, I believe, as the commercial attache of the embassy. The money was drawn from the Joint accounts of Bernstorff and Albert. How Transfers Were Concealed. "The transfers of the money were concealed in the following manner: Dr. Albert procured various banks, where the German government had accounts in his own and Bernstorff's name, to issue cashier's checks to the order of one Walter Lyon, a member of the former Wall Street firm of Renskorf, Lyon and Company. This firm in turn paid the money back to Lyon, who then transferred it to Rumely. We have the checks which figured in the various transactions. Dr. Edward Aloyslus Rumely was a manufacturer and educator before ho purchased The Mail. As a manufacturer he did much to develop the me-1 rhanical tractor as a substitute for horso power in ploughing. Dr. Rumely was born in LaPorte, Ind., thirty-six years ago, and educated at Notre Dame University. He went to Germany to study at Heidelberg. In 1906, the University of Freiburg gave him the decree of Doctor of Medicine. He has written several books on education, among them "To Teach Boys to Live." With W. L. Ellis, he is the author of "Power and Plow." He has been a member of the National Association for the promotion of Industrial training and a member of the American Association of Agricultural Engineers. Henry L. Stoddard, president of the Mail and Express company, announced that the bondholders would take chage of the paper today.
