AMERICAN SHIP TORPED0ED
BY GERMAN SUBMARINE
Steamer GulfIieht Attacked While on
Way to Rouen-captain and
Two Others Die.

London, May 4.-The American oil
steamer Gulfight was torpedoed in the
English channel on Saturday by Ger
man submarine. Her captain died of
heart disease from the shock and two
members Of her crew of 35 were
drowned.
The Gulflight, a 3,202-ton ship,
owned by the Gulf Refining company
of Texas, was bound from Port Arthur.
Tex, to Rouen with cargo of naph-
tina when she was attacked off Bishop
lighthouse, in the Scilly islands.
The vessel, although badly damaged.
stayed afloat and was towed to shore
by steam drifters and beached. The
rescued members of the crew were
landed by patrol boat at Scilly.
The Gultiight is the fourth Ameri-
can steamer destroyed either by mines
or submarines in the sea war zone
since February IS and the fifth Ameri-
can vessel sunk in all, the William p.
Frye having been sunk in the South
Atlantic by the German raider Prinz
Eitel Friedrich.

Ask state for Big Road Aid.

The Wisconsin highway commission
has received practically complete re-
turns from the town meetings which
give the amounts voted by the towns
for state aid road construction in
1916.
Returns were received from 942
towns out of the 1910 under the town
system These towns reported votes
Of $753,000 this spring, as opposed
to $447,500 at the spring meeting7
last year, an increase of 6S per cent
Estimating conservatiyely action in
the remaining towns, based on last
years action, and probable votes at
special meetings. indications are the
towns alone will ask for at least $685.
500 In state aid for 1916.
Action by cities and villages ia ac-
cordance with law is taken later. Last
year the cities applied for 100000 in
state aid and the villages for $4,000.
Estimating conservatively that cities
will Apply for $S1,5O0 and villages for
$4,000 for 1916, gives total appli-
cation for state aid by towns, villages
and cities of $1,07O.000.
If the state aid appropriation is re-
duced to 100000 as has been pro-
posed, the counties would probably
apply for only s167,5Oo, giving total
application for state aid of 1921, 500.
The applications for state aid for
1912 totaled $451,317; for 1913, $780,
600; for 1914, $1,55s.S40. and for 1915,
1890. 900.

Pullman Porters.
Washington, May 6.-Robert T. Lin
coin, chairman of the board of the
Pullman company, testified on the con-
dition of sleeping car porters and the
eompany's financial condition before
the United States industrial commit
tee on Tuesday. The company's CAPT

and eight per cent had been paid az.
nually since 1900. Total cash diyi-
dends of the company, he said, have
amounted to $159,116,775. The total
assets last year we're s133, .261. In
1912, he said, the pay of Pullman con.
ductors was raised to $40 a month for
the first six months Salaries of con-
duetors on special trains, he said,
were 500 a month. The average, ne
thought, should be increased.
DO you think the salary of $3.50
now paid negro porters as a minimum

comfort and decency?" asked Chair
man Walsh

State Reformatory crowdeo.

state FeformatoFy Crowded.
Crime in the state of Wisconsin Is
either on the increase. or municipal
and circuit judges throughout the
state are more Ienient with offenders
by not sending them to the peniten-
tiary. is the way officials Of the Wis
consin state reformatory account for
the crowded condition of the institu.
ton at the present time.
Recently sheriffs arrived in the
city Of Green Bay with several pris.
oners who had been committed to the
state reformatory. Bowron was forced
to turn them away with the statement
that the institution was too crowded
70 take care of additional inmates.
The state reformatory is used for
the most part in taking care of what
is known as first offenders and those
under twenty-one years of age. Dur
ing the last few weeks many boys have
been brought here from all sections of
the state and the vscant cells have
been rapidly filled.
Thee years ago. under the direc-
ton of Superintendent Bowron, a new
cell house with a capacity of 150 cells
was completed. but even the addition
al space has proved inadequate to care
for the new offenders. The cell house
recently completed was built to the
north of the building. provision be-
ing made for the construction of an
other one of like capacity to the south
of the rotunda.
Efforts have been made by the state
board Of control to get an additional
appropriation from the state legisla-
ture to carry on the work of con-
structing another addition, and il they
meet with success the work will be
got under -ay as soon as the money
is available.
Wnile the institution is crowded at
present, it is expected there will be
some relief within the next few weeks
as the state board of control is ex-
pected to grant pardons, or paroles to
a number of the boys who are now
serving tire. The vacancy caused by
the paroles, however, will quickly be
filled, as there are several counties
waiting to place people in the insti-
tuition who have been sentenced to
terms of one year or over by different
judges.

Communication Between Murphy and
Barnes Shown.
Syracuse, N. Y, May 5.-Through
the testimony of Walter Arndt, for
merly correspondent for a New
York city newspaper at Albany. the
Roosevelt forces succeeded in show
ing communication between William
Barnes and Charles E. Murphy about
legislation at Albany.
Murphy, according to Arndt's YER
sion of an interview with Barnes in
1909. had asked Republican help to
kill the direct primary bills.
1t was Roosevelt's first evidence to
prove his assertion on which the libel
suit IS based. that Barnes and Murphy
were political allies.
In that one instance" explained a
Roosevelt lawyer. Barnes may have
refused to aid Murphy. but we have
established the fact that they were in
communication"

the text of the American note of April

out that the question of liability on the

ants and the amount of the indemnity
are the only qeustions remaining to
be settled.
