came so clearly into view that it was
possible to note she showed no num-
ber or distinguishing mark. Later,
they declared, the submarine submerg-
ed and rounded the Dunsley's stern,
showing only her periscope.
These statements are considered to
fill the "an in the testimony given by
Captain Finch, the passengers and
crew of the Arabic, who did not see
the submarine because she was astern
of the Dunsley. Those aboard the
Arabic have declared they saw the
torpedo speeding toward the ship and
the Dunsley's survivors now assert
the torpedo was fired from a German
submarine they saw maneuvering be-
hind them.

HENRY OVERHOLSER DEAD
At his home in Oklahoma City this
morning at 12:05 o'clock Mr. Henry
Overholser, deservedly recognized as
one of the greatest town builders of
the southwest, passed away at the age
of 69 years. He has been confined to
his home for the past four years, un-
able to attend to business, but up un-
til 1911 was Oklahoma City's most ac-
tive citizen. He leaves a widow and
three children: Mr. Ed Overholser,
now mayor of Oklahoma City; Mrs.
Queen Pirtle, residing in Kansas, and
Henry lone, who resides at home.
