WACO, Texas, Nov. 1.—In a clear,
firm voire, T. R. Wat Non, president of
the Farmers and Merchants State Bank
of Tragus, pleaded not guilty in the
Fifty-fourth District Court here this
morning, when the indietment charging

th* pledges have been violated.
The question of whether the Marina
was armed, is becoming increasingly
important |
Germany has contended that ships
armed even with a small stern gun for
defense only, should not be entitled to
the ordinary guarantees, but could be
sunk on sight as being practical naval
auxiliaries.
The fact that England has been arm-
ing more and more of her merchant-
men has made the question as vital
one in Germany’s consideration of a
wider submarine campaign.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Secretary
Lansing authorized a formal statement
today that the progress of the political
campaign would in no way affect the
investigation of submarine attacks and
that there had been no change in the
United States government’s policy.
Meanwhile Count von Bernatorff, th©
German ambassador, sent a wireless
dispatch to his government asking that
he be furnished immediately, by wire-
less, with all the details available re-
garding the sinking of the Marina.
Secretary Lansing’s statement fol-
lows:
"The fact that a political campaign

gation of cases of this,sort. We shall

Mayor A. P. Wooldridge was busy
Wednesday preparing a statement on
the dam situation which he is to give
to the public in connection with the
resointion which he promised to In-
troduce nt the weekly Council meeting
Thursday. He remarked that the in-
troduction of the resolution might be
delayed one day in case certain data
which he had* requested of an engineer
should not reach him promptly.
The resolution will call for the em-
ployment of an engineer of the first
reputation to make a thorough inspec-
tion and investigation of the dam, this
ss n preliminary to further negotiations
with the creditors.
A matter that is likely to come up
at Thursday’s meeting is that of push-
ing the collection of delingurt sewer
rentals This matter was distussed at
a meeting Tuesday afternoon, ana some
definite action may be taken at the
weekly session A plan that has been

Secrelary Lansing made it plain also
that no decisive action would be taken
until Germany had had opportunity to

of the attacks on the Marina and

at Berlin were said to ask for an in-

that for the fiscal year ended June

here amounted to 11,599,349.000, and
that it is the largest cotton and hard-

Mr. Frost has a joint affidavit from
the Americans who reached Crook-
haven and similar documents from
American survivors at Bearhaven. Th<
affidavits agree that the Marina was
torpedoed without warning, that the
| first torpedo struck the starboard side,
the second hit the v easel twelve min-
utes later and was followed by a boil-
er explosion, the steainer sinking six
minutes afterward. No Americans
were killed by the boiler explosion.
Those who lost their lives were drown-
ed as the lifeboats were being
launched.
According to this information, a sub-
marine was plainly seen to emerge af-
ter the second torpedo was fired, but
did not communicate with the steam-
ship or offer assistance to the small
boats, which were in deadly peril from
the rough sea.
One lifeboat was in the water seven-
teen hours; a second twenty-one hours,
and a third thirty-one hours In this
time the danger increased as the sea
became rougher.
The submarine did rot shell the
Marina.

Germany’s first commercial subma-

her first trip to Baltimore, the Deutsch-
land left Bremen Oct. 10 and tied up

The German submarine entered the 1
