ing in Behalf of San Francisco
Exposition.

Encouraging reports today came 10 the
State Department from Germany re-
garding the prospect of a considerable
representation of German art, hygiene,
city building, transportation and general
industries at the Panama-Pacific expo
sit on.
Ambassador Gerard, who is actively
interested in the success of the move
ment to secure German participation. as
well as Consul General Thackara. at
Berlin, believe that 1t will not be adj
yisable to send official agents of the
government to Germany to secure ex-
hibits as this might arouse the govern
ment's opposition. For the same reason
the American consuls have been limited
to a PASSIVE attitude.
But working privately, through the
Balm German central committee, the
exposit on authorities have made great
Roadway in securing Pledges from the
heads OF great industrial and artistic
establishments in Germany to enter ex-
h.bits at the fair, and so far more than
l,UO0 favorable responses have been re-
ceived to the committees invitations,
with the prospect that this number viii
be doubled in the near future.

CowARDICE STORIES DENIED.
Women and Children Sent From Vol.
turno First, Passenger Declares.

LONDON, October 15.-Stuart J. Fuller
United States consul at Durham, who
was a passenger on board the Mime
apolis, possessed linguistic equipment
sufficient to enable him TO talk in their
own language with some of those rescued
from the volturno by the crew of the
Minneapolis.
Mr. Fuller told the Associated Press
he had gathered from the survivors that
there was no panic on board the burn
ing ship. and that on the whole good
order had been maintained, though the
passengers had been herded aft like a
flock of sheep. They complained chat
the ships officers sad treated Them
roughly and had refused to give them
any Information. One survivor told Coil
sui Fuller that the first boat lowered
from the VolturnO, which was dashed
to pieces against the steamers side and
all its occupants drowned. was loaded
mainly with women and children, which
indicated that the men had acquiesced
In giving them precedence. The fact that
all those rescued by the Minneapolis were
men afforded further evidence that this
boatload taken of. Many had seen
their wives and children depart from
the earlier boats.
Several of the survivors agreed when
talking to Mr.. Fuller that the fire origi-
mated in an explosion of grease in
galley, as a result of which several
cooks and their assistants were killed.
Later q number Of the crew and several
passengers lost their lives fighting the
flames.
None of the survivors on the Mime
apolis saved anything with the exception
of a cheerful and clerical looking Pole,
who brought off huge Bible and a green
bag filled with books.
