SCHWAB SILENT ON
 FATE OF AUDAc|0US
Steel Man Was on Olympic al
 Time Of Disaster Of Warship.

! New York Nov. 21.-Charles M Steel company, and Archibald John son, the first vice-president, who were I passengers on the White Star liner Olympic when she rescued the crew and tried to tow the lost British bat i tie cruiser Audacious, arrived here 1 last night from Liverpool by the White Star liner Adriatic after business trip of two weeks in England.
 MT. Schwab contributed no infor- mation concerning the loss of the British warship. The subject was clared that he had been practically a guest of the British government since his arrival in England, and as such he could not talk on the nations af- fairs. When informed that official confirmation had come out concern ing the Audacious, MT. Schwab said: Well, that is sufficient, and there is nothing more to be said about it."
 Steel Man Optimistic.
 The steel man was in a much more optimistic frame of mind than when he departed on the Olympic, d month ago.
 ''I have not felt so confident of the bright outlook for really prosperous conditions in America in three years" said Mir. Schwab. 'I look for a steady increase of business prosperity, not one of these industrial f1urries, but pros- perity on a. good, substantial basis.
 Benefit for U. s.
 "The United States is going to be favorably benefited by the lamentable conditions existing in Europe, and she will perhaps be the most favored of all neutral powers. For example, Ger many has been producing from 12,- OO0,000 to 15,0OO,OO0 tons of steel an- nually, s,00O,0O0 to 10,ooo,0o0 tons of which she had exported. This indus try has either been stif1ed completely or greatly crippled, and the world must turn to the United States for steel.''
 Mr. Schwab denied emphaticaly that he and MT. Johnston had made rev contracts with the British or French governments. He said that be- fore the war he had some contracts with Great Britain, but that these had not been augmented. In this connec-- tion Mr. Schwab made the ambiguous statement that the good news he had | brought over with him was of such |

NEW STATION FOR
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Pawtucket-Centr Falls Structure Will Be of the Overhead Type. Worcester Firm Gets Contract.

New Haven, Nov. 21.-The con- tract for the New York, New Haven and Hartford's new station for Pawtucket and Central Falls, R. l., which is one of the principal fea- lures of the extensive improvement work under way in those cities, has just been awarded. The new station will be one of the largest on the New Haven system. The successful bidder was the firm of Norcross Brothers, of Worcester, Mass.
 The new station takes the place of the two old stations at Pawtucket and Central Falls the dividing line between these cities passing through the new structure. It is estimated that 100000 people will use the sta tion when finished, which will be about August 15, 1915. This will be an overhead station, twenty -one feet above the track level, which is here located in a deep cut. It will thus have many unusual features and it is believed that the arrangement of tracks and station platforms will make it one of the most convenient and commodious on the system.
 As the road has been four-tracked at this point, the station will have two island platforms, 900 feet long, one for eastbound and one for west bound tracks. They will be reached by six stairways. All baggage will be handled by electric elevators. The waiting room will be 92 feet long, GA feet wide and 32 feet high with seats for 200 people. A restaurant and large retiring rooms will be ad- juncts. The new station will have an attractive exterior of granite and brick and will harmonize with the ex- tensive landscape work embraced in the improvement plan.
 The grade crossing elimination work at Pawtucket and Central Falls, of which this is part, has been in pro- gress for about two years. It has involved the elimination of all grade crossings and the four tracking and relocation of tracks to take out the curve at this point on the main line. The work has been under the direc- ton of the Pawtucket-Central Falls Grade Crossing Commission. Pend ing the completion of the new station a temporary structure will be erected, which will permit of the abandon ment of the old stations and tracks.

 The list is arranged alphabetically and is so long as to resemble an American tariff act. In prominent places, of course, are arms and am- munition, but there also are many articles which never have been asso- ciated in the public mind with mili- tary use. such as goats, corba, horses, gas cylinders, cotton waste, earth wax, shel1ac and even seeds and chemicals

NO PROTEST fROMU.S. ON CoNTRABAND LIST
Administration Officials to Hold RiQht
 to Object in Specific Cases.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The United States will make no general protest against the absolute and conditional contraband list submitted to the state department on October 31 by the British ambassador, but will reserve the right to object if specific cases of seizure warrant complaints.
 This policy was outlined by state department officials yesterday in re- sponse to inquiries. Manufacturers of automobiles and other vehicles who have received orders from Germany have been particularly anxious to have the state department make some

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-Before the American Federation of Labor ad- journs finally it's thirty-fourth annual convention here today it will, with out doubt, elect Samuel Gompers pres ident for the thirtieth time. Frank Morrison, who was first elected sec- retary in 1897, also probably will be reelected.

arrangement whereby they could All these orders without danger of loss. Have Perfect Right. Officials point out that merchants and manufacturers of the United States have a perfect legal right to sell their products to belligerents and that there is no international law to prohibit such sales, except where this country is made the base for outfit ting an expedition to belligerent country. It is made clear, however. that shipments are made at the risk of the shipper so far as this govern ment is concerned if the consignment comes under the contraband band of a belligerent.
 Barbed wire and implements for constructing obstructions, motor veh- icles and their parts and mineral ana motor oils are on the new list of ab- solute contraband. and efforts have been made to have the state depart ment urge the British foreign office to modify the list in this respect.
 Hard to Cover All Cases.
 Great Britain has urged that it will be hard to cover all cases with one set of rules. and that where if is shown that seizure is unjustiffed she will be open to argument and reason. When it can be positively proved that shipments of conditional contraband or even contrab band goods will not reach the enemy's country, particular ly the Kiel canal, the German naval base, there will be no interference.
 Acting Secretary of State Lansing and Senator Myers. of Montana. dis cussed yesterday the contraband on copper. Senator Myers has received numerous complaints from tn copper interests in the west and called at the department to make inquiries about the status of the negotiations looking to an agreement whereby if will be possible to ship copper to neutral European countries
 Negotiations Progressing.
 After the conference tho Montana senator said he had been assured that negotiations were progressing ga and that it was the opinion of the department officials that arrangements soon will be com pleted so that American cons ignments to neutrals will not be molested.
 Announcement was made by the state department yesterday of the list of articles under embargo by neutral European countries An embargo on arms and ammunition is in force in Sweden, Switzerland The Nether- lands and Denmark. Switzerland has placed an embargo on beer and wine.

 Primary Object of Trip.
 The primary object of his trip to England he said was to attend to cer- tain details of his contract for coast defense armament along the Chilian coast, the financing of which is being carried on in London.
 John R. Drexel, the retired banker brother of Anthony J. Drexel, who is with French hospital corps, re- turned on the Adriatic, accompanied by Mrs. Drexel. He said he believed the war would not be over for a year, and that Germany would have to be starved out before she would give in. Mir. Drexel said he felt confident that the London stock exchange would not open for many months.
 100000 Swiss Mobilized.
 Dr. David Jayne Hill, former Ameri- can ambassador to Berlin, accom- ranied by his wife and daughter re- turned on the Adriatic after trip of four months in Switzerland and Paris Dr. Hill said that the Swiss had mobi- lized about 100000 men as a measure of defense, and would, he thought, be able to maintain their neutrality.
 When the Adriatic left Liverpool she had among her saloon passengers Alexander Duncan, thirty-four years old, Scotchman, of wealthy parents. who lived at Rutland Gate, London. On Wednesday he was missed, and it is believed he jumped into the sea while the vessel was weathering a heavy westerly gale. Even if the young man had been seen to jump overheard it is not likely that he could have been rescued. It was said aboard the steamship that Duncan had Erooded over having been rejected for military duty because of physical dis ability. .-.....

THE brilliant coup of our Admiral
L Dewey in Manila harbor is re-
called by a sort of controversy that
has been started bY some one as t o
what Dewey said or did or threatened
to do to a certain German war vessel
lying in the harbor at the time, in case
its commander, who exhibited signs of
an inclination in that direction, should
butt into the business which our 3d-
miral just then had in hand. There is
no doubt that Dewey said things, or
that he would have done things most
unpleasant to the German vessel and
its occupants had they in any way in
terfered. A man who had the nerve to
enter that mine-sown harbor and des-
troy a whole feet of an enemy's yes
sells, as Dewey did, would hardly have
hesitated, had the exigencies of the &C.
casion demanded, to send the German
vessel to the bottom also; and besides,
according to the rules of war he would
have been fully within his rights had
he done so. However, it is undoubt.
eddy fortunate that the matter turned
out as it did, for had Dewey and the
German come to bloys, it is probable
that it would have involved an En-
glish vessel, which happened to be
in the harbor, and then what the out
come would have been can only b e
%conjectured. For what purpose the
matter has been resurrected at this
time is not known to the writar.
