London. May 27-Aerial activity was
renewed by both the Germans and the
Allies Yesterday. German aeronauts
attacked South End, on the east coast,
forty miles from London, last night
and after raining bombs on the town
escaped, pursued by British aviators'
The British Admiralty announced that
two women had been killed by bombs,
although dispatches from South End
assert that only one woman was killed.
The property damage was slight.
A dispatch from South End says the
entire town was illuminated by the
bursting Of the shells. Mrs May Fa-
bin, who was there on visit, was
killed and several persons were in
jured.
The Admiralty statement reads as
follows:
Late last night Zeppelin visited
the east coast and bombs were dropped
on South End. The casualties reported
TO date are two women killed and one
child badly injured. Very little ma
teral damage was done"
The dispatch from Paris concerning
the French air raid says:
"a French aerial squadron composed
Of eighteen aeroplanes, each carrying
fifty kilos (110 pounds OF projectiles,

MISSMORCAN DENIES
STRAND ROOF TALES
Says Poor Business, Not
Complaints, Caused
Closing of Garden.

Miss Anne Morgan Indignantly de-
MED last night that complaints against
the conditions obtaining at the Strand
Roof Garden, Of which she, Mrs. W. X.
Vanderbilt and Miss Elisabeth Marbury
were the backera, were responsible for
that place closing its doors last Satur-
day night She assign. ccor business
as the cause, aud says It will reopen in
the fall.
Miss Morgan admitted that the roof
had been the subject Of many investi-
cations, and that the reports of the
Investigators had been unfayorable, but
she said this meant nothing.
investigators have TO find something
or lose their places she declared. so
they find what they are paid - find.
That is all.
1T makes me angry to hear that
III complaints Of these reform socie-
ties. the Committee of Fourteen. the
Society Of Sanitary and Moral Prophy-
laXis and other Uplift organizations,
are responsible for the closing OF the
Strand Roof. There have been investl-
cations. and the reports have been ad-
verse, but we know better. We know
that conditions were clean and whole
some. We had our own detectives, and
we saw TO it that the place was kept
clean.
These societies are not responsible
for the place being closed. Not at
all. The real reason the place was
closed is that with the advent OF sum
mer it ceased to be profitable. We
served $50 900 people while II was open.
"Investi gators from these commit
tees and societies would come 10 the
roof and look the place over.
"'There's a girl over there with
tough looking face they would say.
What do YOU know about her"
"'Ask her YOURSELF we'd tell them.
Like as not the girl was stenographer
or a clerk somewhere.
THE roof is the best thing we do
Our own detectives were on duty All
The time. Some undesirable young men
came there. but they were got rid OF
without any scandal or fuss. Either
myself. Miss Marbury or some other
member of the committee was always
there. ! personally have sent young
men out Of the place who did not
seem TO understand the way in which
We wished things to be conducted.
"Whilc was in California Mrs Van
Corbilt received many letters of com
rlaint from organizations as TO the
easy way in which the place was run
and making accusations regarding CON
l.tions. On my return | received simi-
lar complaints There was no basis in
truth for them.
$50. despite all those things, we are
Going ahead in the fall and reopen. 1t
is the best thing we do. And do not
believe that Commissioner Bell has
any idea Of closing the place He was
there several times and had luncheon
and found everything all right"
Commissioner Bell said yesterday
afternoon that he had had no intention
Of forcing the place to close and had
no reasons for such action.

II was light enough for the submarine
commander to see our name 'Nebras-
kan, of New York painted on our sides.
We had hauled down the American flag
about five minutes before we were
struck.
MY opinion is that II was torpedo
from a German submarine that struck
US, as we all felt severe shock that
threw US off our feet. and the expls-
sion followed sfterwsrd"
Several members OF the crew also
emphatically stated that there was no
doubt that the ship was torpedoed be-
cause they all felt the shock a full
minute before the explosion.
II was dim twilight at the time and
some members of the crew said they
saw something rushing through the
water toward the vessel. One OF the
officers said he was standing amidships
on the bridge deck, looking forward,
when suddenly the calm was broken by
the terrible explosion, which sent the
sea high as the masthead The ship
was struck on the starboard bow. II

ing could have saved them. 1t was for
tunate they were not fully loaded. as
If they had been tho ship would have
quickly foundered. The whole Of the
forward part Of the ship is completely
wrecked and there is a hole in her
bottom near the forehold. where the
torpedo struck, large enough for a cart
and horse TO 90 through.

FIVE INDICTED
FOR VIOLATIONS
OF NEUTRALITY
Federal Agents Charge
Rubber for Germany Was
Shipped in Resin Cargo.

Acting upon evidence gathered by
agents OF the Department OF Justice
during an exhaustive investigation COW
erinr several months, the Federal
Grand Jury yesterday afternoon re
turned indictments charging wholesale
conspiracy to violate the neutrality Of
the United States against Salomon &
Co. well-to-do importers and exporters
with Offices at 299 Broadway, and a
number of others.
Harry Salomon, a lieutenant in the
German army is named as head OF the
conspiracy in the indictment. His CO

~ SaIomon & Co.; Franz Rosenberg,
rubber manufacturer OF Hanover, Ger
many. Sigmund Karman, represent
a.ive Of rubber syndicate in Buda-
nest. Hungary, and Albert b. Newman,
a silent partner of the Salomon firm.
The conspiracy charged in the iindlct-
mont is specified as consisting or SNIP
ming large quantities OF concealed con-
trabard TO Germany via Italian ports.
While only two specific charges are
mentioned in the indictment, it IL un-
derstood that the operations were so
extensive that they reached into nun
drcds of thousands of dollars.
According 70 information in posses
sim of Assistant United States Attor-
new Wood. who is in charge OF the
prosecution, the alleged Illegal opera
lions started soon after the beginning
~ the war. Harry Solomon, who was
harm in Germany and who acted as
Corman representative of his firm, was

active service at the front Then, 1t is
charged. he conceived the idea OF serv-
inc his fatherland by avertlng q

On November 1S he came to the
Tinted States by way of Genoa. A few
weeks later he was followed by the de-
fendants. Rosenberg and Karman. who
arrived in December on the Holland
America liner Rotterdam.
Early in January, the indictment

d;cted with him established rubber
smelling plant in Greenpoint, Long
island. To all indications they were

During the latter part OF January,
according TO the indictment, the hrst
sbipment of rubber was sent to italy
aboard the Cunard liner Carpathia,
which sailed for Genoa, but, unable to
secure landing there, steered Tor
Naples. The rubber, according to the
Federal authorities, was concealed IN
200 barrels Of resin. A hollow was made
in the resin ard each barrel hlied WIN
.15c nounds Of rubber. The British Con-
sulate here heard o. :he contraband

Washington, May 27.-The blowing
up Of the American cargo steamer Ne
braskan is still shrouded in mystery
so far as official Washington Is con-
cerned. Tomorrow morning President
Wilson will confer with the members OF
his Cabinet, and it is expected that by
that time a full report Of the inciden,
will be in the hands of the President
and his official advisers. so that any
necessary action can be taken at once.
On the surface Washington Is quiet
and calm; underneath the surface there
is feeling Of anxiety and nervousness,
feeling that perhaps one OF the
things most dreaded has happened
that the German reply TO President
wilson's note was the torpedoing Of a
ship flying the American flag.
The reports which have reached here
from Ambassador Page. Consul General
Skinner and, through him. Captain
Greene have not in any way cleared
up the mystery as 10 what machine OF
warfare was responsible for the hole
torn in the hull Of the Nebraskan. Some
high administration officials prefer TO
believe that IL was the result of a
mine. Others. however, are Of the
opinion that it was a torpedo from a
German submarine

according TO a cable dispatch from the
ambassador received at the State De-

when she was torpedoed.' thus indi-
