DICTIONARY AGENT 18
CAUGHT IN IOWA TOWN.
J. H. Phillips, who worked the
Alaska coast towns last summer by
representing himself as the agent of
the Funk & Wagnalls’ company, New
York publishers, is reported by the
company to have bden apprehended
at Council Bluff, Iowa, and has been
taken to Des Moines where he was
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses and for forgery.
Phillips has engaged counsel to
defend him and they have written to
a number of Alaskans who subscrib
ed through him for the Funk &
Wagnalls dictionary asking if the
company has filled their orders. He
is evidently trying to establish the
fact that the company by delivery
recognized him as their agent.

Officer of Italian Steamer Says One
Submarine Fired on Steamer
as Life Boats Were Filled
TUNIS, Nov. 12.—One of the offi
cers of the Italian steamer Ancona,,
who landed at Cape Bon, on the
Gulf of Tunis, claims that there were
two submarines in the attack upon
the Ancona. He states that he was
on the bridge at the time and that
the ship was stopped by the captain
after the first shot had been fired.
The officer claims that the second
submarine did not wait while the life
boats were being lowered and that
several of the boats which were filled
with passengers were destroyed by
the bursting shells. No Americans
were in the boat which landed at
Cape Bon and it is feared that they
have perished.
