Referring to the dvision of the:

for war he said:
‘‘Does this mean we no longer

belligerent ships with Americans on
board but that such action calls for
nothing more than a note. If we
should have another Lusitania case
will it go by with nothing more than

PITTS or RGH Feb. 10.—Nicholas
Murray Butler declared in ar. inter-
view today that the submarine
Deutschland has been captured by the
British. The Deutschland is one of
the 85 submarines in one British
port. Tiie British have captured not
less than 200 of the submarines.
Butler added that the Deutschland
now lying at Bremen is another sub-
marine with the name painted on it
to support the story that the big
submersible merchanman never star-
ted on its third trip.
The British patrol will prove ef-
fective and adequate in dealing with
the blockade.
INDICATED THAT GERMANY WILL SUGGEST THAT THE TWO GOVERNMENTS GET
TOGETHER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVERTING POSSIBLE HOSTILITIES AND;
PERHAPS STRAIGHTENING OUT THE BREAK IN RELATIONS.
WASHINGTON Feb. io.—(Bulletin).—AnnouK.cerr.eut is made here today that Germany is J
addressing a note through the Swiss minister. Dr. Paut Ritter suggesting that the two governments:
get together for the purpose of averting possible hostilities and perhaps straightening out the break:
in relations.
The communication proposes that the United States suggest to the German government any-1
thing which might tend to bring about negotiations on the submarine controversy between the two )
governments.
Whether the note is in the fornf*of a formal communication or has been actually received here i
Dr. Ritter refused to state. — j

Murder In Connection With
Parade Startling Develop
meats Were Keveaieta
SAX FRANCISCO Cat Feb. lO.
—Thomas J. Mooney will be MB-
tenced to death by Supreme Court
Judge Griffin next Tuesday follow-
ing hi* conviction for murder iu
ccnnection with the preparednw
parade bomb explosion which kitt-
ed ten persons last summer.
Returning a verdict after tcm
than six hours’ deliberation last
nigh the jury declined to include
a recommendation for clemency and
Judge Griffin has no alternative hut
to send Mooney to the gallows.
In the midst of the excitement
which swept the city following the
verdict District Attorney Fickert
created a new sensation when be
announced that he has the ’’confee- ^
sion of a conspirator” reciting
seventy-two crimes in which he
declared nearly all the defendants
in tile dynamiting cases participat-
ed.
’■The preparedness parade dyna-
miting” declared Fickert “was
merely an incident in the conspira-
cy the extent of which will amaae
San Francisco. We are merely on
the threshold of oar prosecution.
The sworn confession of the man
v ho has chosen to confess covers
crimes ranging front dynamiting to
murder committed in San Francis-
co and surrounding counties. The
co-conspirators have never been
heard of before in these cases. His
confession supports the conviction
of Mooney but we have only
scraped off the surface in giving
that”
Mooney reiterated his innocence.
••This injustice in my case" he said
••does not upset me. It is merely
a single episode in the long strug-
gle of labor tor its rights. 1 am
prepared for any eventuality. To
an MWKeitt man it bwomes a
nwfWj to repeat the plea of in-
nocence. If people can be proettr-
ed to |»erjure themselves at the
instigation of the ’system’ 1 cannot
stop them. This verdict does not
make me guilty for I am not
guilty.”
