The steamships were torpedoed
yesterday afternoon oft the Swedish
island of Landeort, in the Baltic. The
Kolga was attacked at 5 p.m., being
shelled by the submarine for twenty
minutes. Two members of the crew
were slightly ineired. The Kelga was
then torpedoed and sunk, Thirteen
of the crew were picked up by a
Swedish steamer. Four others, includ-
ing the captain and seeond mate, are
missing.
- Half an hour after the Bianca was

that on the Kolga. The captain was,
taken prisoner. Two nembers of the
crew were slightly injured. They and
the other members of the crew were
Plotted up by the vessel 1:vhich rescued

The report of the submarine's ac-
tivity bas stopped the movement of
numerous German vessels with car-
goes of iron ore now at Oxloesund
and other ports.
Last fall British submarines, which
made their way int& the Baltic
through the Skagerrack and Cattegat,
carried on an energetic campaign
against shipping between Scandinav-
ian and German ports through Baltic
watersk. In especial they appear to
have worked havoc with the ore trade
between Scandinavia and Germany,
sinking a number of ore vessels, and
according to some reports virtually
paralyzing this traffic for weeks be-
cause of the perit to shipping due
to the presence of the hostile under-
sea craft.
Special despatches front Scandina-
vian sources to British newspapers in
mid-October declared that German
commercial traffic had virtually been
cleared from the Bailie by the British
submarine activity, one list printed
containing the names of twenty Ger-
man ships sunk during October. Ger-
man amounts, however, denied that
there was any such stoppage 'of traf-
fic as was claimed in British sources,
citing the movement et hundreds " of
ships from various 13altic ports during
the Period of submarine operations in
those waters.

New York despatch:Police Commis-
stener . Arthur 'Woods is ready and
apparently eager to -day to tell the
elate Legislative Committee, whieh has
begun an inquiry into pollee tapping
of telephone wires, why the police lis-
tened on the wire leading to the officer;
of the law firm of Seymoar Sey-
mour.
After se conference, in which Senator
Thompson, the police eemmissioner,
the district attorney and Mayor Mit-
diet- took part, District Attorney
Sisann gave out the information that
the wire ja question was tapped be-
cause J.. P. Morgan AS Co. had com-
plainedthat confidential cablegrams
from the French Government to that
firm regarding buying of war Mull -
tions had been stolen from.tho firm's
offices and sold to munition manufac-
turers in this country.
Before testifying to -day, the Watiee
c•ommissioner said thq theft at thein-
formation from the Morgan offices
was only, gne reason wiry the police
tapped the wire. "There was another
reason, which I am not at liberty to
tell, because it has to do with most
iraportant matters affecting the na-
tional Government," said Mr. Woods.
It was reported that the police had
been informed that it foreign agent,
peeing as a representative of the Rus-
sian Government, had purchased war
munitions, ostensibly for the Entents
Alllee, and had smuggled them into
3dexico.

in doubt until the last polling dtvi-
bion was heard trotn, although at no
