PATBIA WAS LUCKY, \White Plains, March 18.- dictment against Warden, HO ill IS 0!VI Officer Says Torpedo Passed Within Few Feet of Stern and Revolving .Screw Could Bo Plainly Seen—To Ask for Armament, New York, March £7.—The French steamer Patria of the Fabre line, •carrying among her passengers 29 Americans, including an American consul, was attacked without warn- ing by a submarine off the Algerian coast March 1, Captain Pierre De Chelles anounced yesterday on the arrival of the ship from Mediterran- ean ports. A torpedo directed at the Patria missed the ship by about SO feet. , Olhey ArUold, American consul •General at Cairo, was a passenger on the ship from Naples to Lisbon. He said he would forward a full report of the attack 1 ' to the United States government. It was news, however, to the captain that cable dispatches Save since reported that Mr. Arnold who was returninug home, died at Lisbon the day after his arrival. Received Warning. The night before the submarine ap- peared Captain De Chelles received the warning, \Be careful; submarine sighted about 100 miles from Cape De Guarde,\ by wireless from Al- giers. He remained on the bridge all night and posted 15 lookouts around the ship. The captain said he^did not per- sonally see the submarine or the tor- pedo, but both were were seen by his first-officer and a number of passen- gers. The ship was making full speed at the time. Orders were immediate- ly given to steer a zig-zag course and no further trace of the submarine was seen. \I regret to say I did not liave any guns,\ the captain said. The Ameri- cans in the first cabin included H.ob- f ~3X Norman of Baltimore. None of the American passengers saw the sub- marine. When the Patria arrived some days later at Lisbon, Portugal, the Ameri- can vice consul, Ramon I. Janer, board the ship to conduct an inves- tigation for the purpose of notifying Washington of the circumstances of the attack. ; Will Ask For Arms, j Captain De Chelles, of the Patria,' said that upon his return to Europe he would apply to the French govern- ment for permission to arm his ves- sel, on the ground that submarines in the Mediterranean would not, in his opinion, refrain from attacking mer- chant vessels without warning them. The Patria left Palermo Feb. 29. The next morning at 9, Captain De Chelles said, a periscope was observ- ed above the water and almost simul- taneously a torpedo was seen apr Broaching the Patria. It came so ciose that the revolving screw could be plainly noted, Captain De Chelles said, and swept by 20 feet from the stern. Passengers on deck who saw the' torpedo .created a turmoil which at- tracted the steerage passengers to the rails and the excitement subsid- ed only after the periscope disap* geared and the ship sped away with- out being again subjected to attack. JSecond Panic Follows. The Patria after landing at other ports carried nearly 2,000 passen- gers when she arrived here. I Wednesday, there was a second panic, when a steerage steward at- tempted *o .smother a sulphur-pot, blaze by pouring water on it. Smoke and sulphur fumes filled the steerage, an alarm «f lire was sounded and -women and tjhlldren rushed scream- ing to the decks. Mott Osborne of Sing Sing prison, charging perjury, was dismissed Wednesday by Supreme Court Jus- tice Tompkins before the defense was to begin presenting its case. Justice Tompkins sustained two counts of Osborne's motion, to dismiss —first, that the Diedling investiga- tion before whom he was alleged to have committed perjury, had ho au- thority to inquire into prison condi- tions, and, second, that the perjury had not been proved-. Osborne's friends regard the dis- missal as complete vindication of the prison head, and predicted his speedy return to active charge of Sing Sing.
