CAPT. GUNTER'S DEATH
is LAID TO GERMANS
English Coroner Denounces Torpedoing
of Gulfiight. Which American
Commanded.

PENZANCE, England, May 6. - At
the inquest yesterday into the death OF
Captain Alfred Gunter of the Ameri-
can oil tank steamship Gulflight, which
was torpedoed on May l off the Seilly
Islands, the verdict is that his death
was caused by ''heart failure, acceler-
ated by. shock caused by the torpedo
ing of the ship
Testimony given at the inquest
showed that the Gulfight was flying
very large American flag at the time
she was torpedoed
mony said it was impossible that the
Gulfight for British vessel, because
the weather was clear. and the large
American flag which the steamer was
| flying must have been visible for a
considerable distance.
| The Gulfight, he continued, was tol
| pedoed without the slightest warning
| The torpedo struck forward. Had il
struck amidships, none of the crew, III
his opinion, would have been saved
| because the naptha which the steamer
was carrying would have caught fire
and the vessel would speedily have
been ablaze.
The coroner said the torpedoing OF
a neutral vessel was contrary to all thu
| recognized usages of warfare, but tina
! no denunciation of the act would hay,
any effect in inducing the Germans t,
change their methods.
i Captain Gunter s body has been EN-
/ balmed and will be sent to the Unitet
States.

Just A Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER
Compiled by John G. QuiniuA
(The Sunshine Mani

You will never possess any more OF
Christ than you claim as your own.
You do not gain Gods blessing by
storing away books full of notes; you
must take Gods truth into your very
soul and feast upon II. What good
will abundance of food or water or
money do you If Il is unclaimed and
unusued? The money that man takes
from the bank is his enjoyable possess
sion. that which he has in the bank is
only his lawful possession. You can
not pass through the riches of God ex-
cept by the study OF this blessed Book
and by constantly dealing with God in
prayer.-H. w. webb-Peploe.
LET us come boldly TO the throne
OF grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time OF
need How many of Gods people who
have the bank Of heaven to draw on,
and could come boldly 10 the throne
of grace and get help in time of-need,
have thus far been living on a few
crumbs.-D. l.. Moody.
The difference between Christians
is not so much a difference Of endow-
ment as II is a difference OF apprehen-
sion and appropriation. A man once
owned a small farm. He did his best
to till It and rear a family, but after
working hard all his life he died a
poor man. The. farm was inherited by
his eldest son. The son discovered a
gold mine and became immensely rich.
The property he had was the same
that his father had; but the father
didn't know what was IN the land.
while the son found Il out.
That is the difference between
Christians. Through the atonement
of Jesus Christ God hath made us
heirs to all things. but only the Holy
Ghost reveals our riches.-A. J. Cor

In addition to the eleven trips each
