TORPEDO KILLED MANY
Second Explosion Fatal to SOC
Lusitania Passengers.
Captain Turner Asserts Ammunition
Was Not Blown Up-Liner's
Boilers Probably Exploded.
BY LAWRENCE ELsTON.

International News Service Correspondent
Queenstown, May 11.--More than
five hundred passengers and sailors
on the Lusitania are believed to have
been killed or injured so badly they
were rendered helpless by the explo
sion which followed the impact of the
second torpedo fired by the German
submarine against the liner.
Information to this effect was given
to officials of the Cunard line who are
making an investigation and assisting
in the care of injured survivors and
the search for bodies.
Capt. w. T. Turner of the Lusitania
was in conference for hours with rep
resentatives of the Cunard line. When
asked by press represe. tatives If the
explosion which resulted from the sec
ond torpedo had been caused by the
blowing up of ammunition stored in
the liners hull Captain Turner said:
mo, II ammunition had exploded
that would probably have torn the ship
apart and the loss Of life would have
been much heavier than it was"
The statement of Captain Turner
gave further basis to the belief that
the liners boilers blew up.
The master of the lost Cunarder de-
clared that, from the bridge he saw
the torpedo streaking toward the Lu-
sitania and tried to change the ships
course to avoid the missile, but was
unable to do so in time. The only
thing left for him to do was to rush
the liner ashore and beach her, and
she was headed for the Irish coast
when she foundered.

Regret Over Loss of Life.
Government Confers With Secre-
tary Of State Bryan.

Washington, May 11.-Count Johann
Won Bernstorff, German ambassador to
the United States, called at the state

T. The official representative of the ma
ton whose submarine had attacked
and sunk the Lusitania conferred with
Secretary of State Bryan for fifteen
minutes. At the conclusion of the
conference the state department is
sued this statement:
THE German ambassador called at
the state department and expressed
his deep regret that the events of the
war had led to the loss of so many
American lives" -
1t was considered significant at the
department that the regrets expressed
by Ambassador Bernstorff were per-
sonal and that the words $50 many"
were used in connection with the
words American lives
No other word on the subject of the
ambassadors call could be secured
from any official of the department.
The ambassador himself stated that
he had agreed with Secretary Bryan
and Counselor Lansing that Mr..
Bryan should be the one to make any
statement after their conference.
Secretary Bryan announced that no
word had been received from Ambas.
sador Gerard at Berlin in response to
the request of the department that he

Morgan City. La, May 11.--Baron

PRESIDENT WILSON CONSIDERS
TAKING ACTION ON SINKING
OF LUSITANiA.
MAY BREAK OFF RELATIONS
Severing of Diplomatic Intercourse
With Germany Possible Result
of Disaster That Cost 100
American Lives.

Washington, D. c., May 10.-While
it is still an undetermined question
what action the United States govern
ment will take as the result of The
sinking of the liner Lusitania by a
German submarine, it became known
Sunday night that President Wilson
is considering not only the last and
greatest disaster caused by the war,
but also previous incidents affecting
the United States.
These are the sinking of the Amer
lean steamer Frye, the attack on the
liner Falaba which caused the drown
ing of an American citizen, Leon G.
Thresher, the wrecking without warn
ing of the American tankship Gulf
light, the dropping of bombs on the
American steamer Cushing, and final
ly the sinking of the Lusitania.
The president wants to be certain
whether these incidents range them
selves in order to cause a grave CHI
max of a carefully planned policy OF
hostility to the United States or
whether the sequence is casual and
the German government desires to
continue friendly relations with the
Washington government.
May Break off Relations.
The possibility of the breaking off
of diplomatic relations with Germany
was much discussed in official circles
today and was regarded as the most
likely course of action in the event
that the president decided drastic
measures were necessary.
The breaking off of diplomatic re-
lations, officials say, would not neces-
sarily mean war. 1t has been done
before, many times in the history of
diplomacy, without war. 1t is further
pointed out that while the president
has no power to declare war, he has
the immediate power to sever sharply
all diplomatic relations.
The most recent example OF the
action of this nature by this govern
ment was that of Nicaragua. Secre-
tary of State Knox broke off diplo-
matte connections summarily.
Germanys Note Read.
Official Washington has taken note
of the defense of Germany as found
in the official statement issued by the
German foreign office last night af-
firming that the Lusitania was an
armed vessel and that owners "alone
must bear all the responsibility for
what has happened"

German Torpedoes Send
Big Steamship to the
Bottom Off Coast
of Ireland.
GOES DOWN IN is MINUTES
Claim Made That Ship Carried Am
munition and Other Supplies---
Passengers Warned of the
Disaster Before Sail
ing from New
York.

London, May 10.-Upwards of
twelve hundred persons lost their
lives in the sinking of the Cunard
torpedoed by German submarine Off
Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, Friday
afternoon. Of the 1873 Americans on
board, more than 100 are believed
dead.
The bodies of Charles Frohman,
the theatrical manager; DR.. F. S. Pear
son of New York, and Charles Pla-
mondon of Chicago, have been recov-
cred. Officially given up as dead are:
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, multi
millionaire; Charles Klein, play
wright; Justus M. Forman, play
wright; Ebert Hubbard, writer, and
Mrs. Ebert Hubbard.
The Cunard company in a revised
list of those aboard stated that there
were 1851 passengers and $50 crew,
a total of 1901. Of the 1873 Amer
leans on board Consul Frost reports
that he can account for but seventy
three saved.
Thinks Missing Are Dead.
The consul said probably upward
OF 1900 bodies had not been recov-
cred. He added that persons not list
ed by him at the embassy are "al-
most to a certainty dead" None of
the prominent Americans on board is
included in the consul's lists.
Disaster is Sudden.
The Lusitania was steaming along
about ten miles off Old Head Kinsale,
on the last leg of its voyage to Liv-
erpool, when a submarine suddenly
appeared, and, so far as all reports
go, fired two torpedoes without warn
ing at the steamer. One struck it
near the bows, and the other in the
engine room. The powerful agents
of destruction tore through the YES
sells side, causing terrific explosions.
Almost Immediately great volumes of
water poured through the openings
and the ship listed.
Boats which were already swung
out on the davits, were dropped over

board and were speedily filed with
passengers, who had been appalled, by
the desperate attack. A wireless call
for help was sent out and Immediate
ly rescue boats of all kinds were dis
patched from the neighboring points
along the coast and Queenstown.
Sank in IS Minutes.
But within fifteen minutes, as one
survivor estimated, and certainly
within half an hour, the Lusitania
had disappeared. e.~s
Where Great Britain's fastest mer-
chant vessel went down-Old Head
Kinsale-is a landmark that has
brought joy to many travellers, as it
always stood as the sign from shore
that the perils of the voyage across
the Atlantic were at an end. The
line, whose boast has been that it has
never lost a passenger in the Atlantic
service, has now lost the ship that
lodged the lurking enemy off Nam
tucket light the day after the war
was declared, and later startled the
world by flying the stars and stripes.
Scores Thrown From Boats.
Scores of the Lusitania's passen-
gers, many of them women and chill
dren, after being placed in lifeboats,
were dragged down with the ship
when it sank, because the boats
could not be lowered. Survivors at

some of the boats were chopped away
Overturning when they struck the sea,
and hurting the occupants into the
water. Some fell from a height of
forty feet, others could not be re-
leased and were dragged down.
America Gets News Early.
New York, May 1.-THE first news
Lusitania came shortly after l p. M
on Friday through an announcement
from the local offices of the Cunard
line, which stated that an uncon-
firmed rumor to that effect has been
received from abroad. Less than an
hOuI 11CCl CAC udU ulduG
public additional messages confirm
ing the report which, in the mean
time, however, had been verified by
newspaper dispatches from London.
Warned of Danger.
The Lusitania, with total of
1881 passengers aboard, of whom
1SS were Americans, and with a crew
of SIG, sailed from here last Satur-
day in the face of warning pub
lished on the day of it's departure by
the German embassy, which stated
that travellers intending to embark on
British ships did so at their risk of
the ships being destroyed in accord
ance with the German zone decree.
This warning, published in the
form of an advertisement, did not
result in the cancellation of single
passage, nor did anonymous notes of
warning, said to have been received
by some passengers just before the

"PURE PIRACY" SAYS T. R.
Former President Roosevelt Makes
Emphatic Comment on Torpedo
ing of lusitania.

Syracuse. N. Y, May S.-When in

of the Lusitania, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt made the following state
ment to the Associated Press:

tention to what 1 had said two
months previously when the Germans
established the war zone and an
nounced that with mines and subma-
rines they would commit the deeds
that since they have actually COM
mitted, and that these deeds could
by no rule of international law be
regarded otherwise than as pure pir-
acy.

but piracy on a vaster scale Of eur.

destroyed Louvain and Dinant and
hundreds of women and children in
Belgium. 1t is warfare against inno-
cent men, women and children, trav-
cling on the ocean and to our fellow
country women, who are among the
sufferers.

can refrain from taking action in
this matter, for we owe it not only
