COULD Be REDUCED
Commissioners Favor Lower Rate a.;
Bowman Thinks 1t Can
Be Done

While the various departmental eX-
pense and maintenance estimates for
1915 are still too tentative for pur-
poses of figuring on the probable mill
rate for next year, the opinion pre-
walls in municipal circles that the mil
lage could be reduced from nine and a
half 10 possibly nine and a quarter,
or even nine mills.
All the city commissioners favor a
decrease IL this can safely be done,
and superintendent Harry F. Bow
man, Department of Public Safety,
says he believes the reduction is pos
sible.
To this end it is understood he may
offer an ordinance fixing the levy for
1915 at nine mills fiat.
That there will be additional in
creases to be cared for in the various
departments has already been eX-
planned. Those who have been fol-
lowing the varying changes in the cost
of operating the city government, how
ever, and who figure that nine mills
would be sufficient to tide the munich
pality over for the ensuing year, base

BRITISH BATTLESHIP,
AUDACIOUS, SUNK OFF
IRISH COAST OCT. 27
RumOrs of Disaster Started When White Star Liner Oym-

that evening, when a terrific explosion
occurred on board. and the Audacious
plunged stern first and in moment
had disappeared.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by shells set loose by the
listing of the battleship. A bit of
armor plate torn from the sinking ship
struck the deck of the Liverpool, cut
ting the legs from under a gunner.
The man died in short time.
The Audacious met her fate twenty
five miles off the Irish coast, which the
Olympic was skirting. The liner sailed
from New York for Glasgow on Octo-
Der 1. She had been warned that there
were German mines off Tory Island
and fear of these mines was the official
explanation when she unexpectedly put
into Lough Swilly. The Olympic's pas
sengers saw the flash of the explosion
and watched the mighty warrior sink.
Then their ship turned her prov
toward Lough Swilly. Small craft
cleared the route to make sure It was
free of mines. From October 81 to
November 2 the Olympic lay at Lough
Swilly, during which time no one but
naval officers were allowed to board
her. An immediate investigation of
the loss of the battleship was begun.
Charles NJ. Schwab was the only pas
senger who left the Olympic before IL
docked at Belfast on November 2.

New York, Nov. 14.-Rumors of dis

Audacious, which have persisted ever
since the White Star liner Olympic,
which left her course. arrived at Lough
Swilly on October 20, are confirmed in
mail advices received to-day by the
association Press from a point in Ire

coast of Ireland She was hit by n tor
pedo or disabled by mine just before
o'clock on the morning of October 81.
With the possible exception of one or
two men the whole crew of 500 was
rescued by small boats from the
Olympic.
The rescue was made in a rough sea
through brilliant and daring seaman
ship on the part of the White Star
crew.
Heard by Operator
The battleship's cry for assistance
was caught by the wireless operator
of the Olympic, which was only about
three miles distant. The steamer
rushed forward at full speed while her
crew made ready for their work. Vol
unteers were called for and double the
number necessary to man the lifeboats
responded. The crippled battleship
was reached a few minutes after 8
o'clock and before noon all but 100 of
her men had been transferred.

crew who would leave the ship Cap

his attention to an attempt to save the
warship. A cable was given her, but
1t snapped as it frightened. Meantime
the bulkheads began to give way and
it was soon apparent that it would be
impossible to tow the ship or keep her
afloat. The cruiser Liverpool and sew
eral other warships which had come
up stood by. Late in the afternoon II
was decided to abandon the Audacious
and the officers and men who had re-
manned aboard reluctantly left her

Homeless Who Sought Refuge
in Roofless Houses
SEES FIELDS OF GRAVES

London, Nov. 14.-Jarvin L. Bell,
OF New York. who on behalf of the
American Commission for Relief in
Belgium, assisted in the distribution
of the first cargo of relief supplies
sent to the Belgians, has given the
Associated Press a description of con-
ditions in the stricken country. Mr..
Bell said:
Nothing that has been written
could eXaggerate the misery of Bel

graveyards. Stakes, on some of which
were soldiers tattered coats and he'll

sought refuge in the ruins of roofless
homes, terrified lest we were some
fresh visitation of war. Their faces
were drawn and lined and if you could
only see the grewsome surroundings in
which they are struggling for exist
ence you would not wonder that they
fail to smile.
The Belgian peasant has in many
districts no home in which to sleep,
no seed to SOW, no implements with
which to work, no transport to reach
a market and finally no heart to strug-
gle against the inevitable. 1t is unbe-
lievable that war ever produced such
q complete and tragic paralysis as we
saw in many parts of Belgium. 1t
cannot be attributed to lack of cour-
age on the part of the civilian popu-

BOMB UNDER OFFICES

Policeman Sees Smoking Fuse and
Carries Explosive From
TOmbs Court Room
By Assoeizfei Prcss

what similar in construction to the one
that wrecked the entrance to the
Bronx county courthouse last Wednes-
day night was found to-day in the
Tombs courtroom. just under the dis
trict attorneys offices. occupied by
Governor-elect Whitman. The room
was crowded. The bomb contained
gunpowder, slugs and bullets. Its fuse
was partly burned.
George L. O'Connor, d policeman.
saw smoke from the burning fuse of
the bomb, ran to the spot, picked II up,
torn off the fuse and carried the bomb
from the courtroom. Four men were
sitting on the bench in the rear of the
courtroom where the bomb was found.
The bomb contained explosive
enough. it was estimated, to have
wrecked the building.
As O'Connor stripped the sputtering
fuse from the bomb the courtroom was
thrown into an uproar. Approximately
fifty persons were in the room await
ing the arrival of Magistrate Campbell
to open court. 1t is believed that his
arrival was the signal to fire the fuse.
Made of an Oil Can
Examination showed that the bomb
was made of a five-pound oil can and
that it was filled with guncotton, slugs
and bullets. 1t was wrapped un in a
Jewish daily newspaper tightly bound
with wrapping cord.
Magistrate Campbell said he had no
idea who would seek to take his life
unless it were the writer or writer's of
threatening letters he had received
during the recent trial of Industrial
Workers of the World leaders at which
he presided.
The police believed the bomb was
left in the courtroom by the same band
of anarchists that fired the bomb
Wednesday night at the Bronx county
courthouse and last month exploded
bombs IN st. Patrick's Cathedral and
at the Church of st. Alphonsus. The
police recalled that Frank Tannen-
baum and his Industrial Workers of
the World entered St. Alphonsus
Church during their demonstrations
last year, as a result of which Tan
nenbaum was sent to jail.
