U. S. STARTS INQUIRY
OF CHARGE LUSITANIA
WAS ARMED VESSEL
Quiet Investigation Or
dered of Affidavits Sent
to State Department
That Guns Were Conceal
ed on Ill-Fated Ship.
WASHINGTON. June 3.

WASHINGTON, June 3.
Phe Administration today started
quiet investigation into the character of
the individuals and the testimony they
presented in their afldavits filed with the
State Department alleging that the Lust
tania carried guns concealed under her
decks.
There was a well-dehned difference of
opinion in Administration and diplomatic
circles as to the effect these affldavts
would have on the rejoinder President
Wilson will make to the German reply
to his Lusitania note.
Counsellor Lansing, of the State De-
.partment. later stated that the charges
made in the affldavits were being inves-
tigated by Treasury officials and the De-
partment of Justice.
The principal affidavit is by Gustav
Stable, 20 Leroy street, New York, 1t is
as follows:
"On the day prior to the sailing Of the
Lusitania, ! was asked by my friend, a.
Lietch, who wos employed as first cabin
steward, to help him to bring his trunk
aboard. In the course of the evening we
went on board without being hindered
by the quartermaster on guard.
After having remained some time in
the stewards quarters we went to the
stern main deck. About 10 or is feet from
the entrance on port and starboard, re-
spectively, l saw two guns of II and 10
centimetres. They we're covered with
leather. but the barrel was distinctly to
be seen. To satisfy my curiosity un-
fastened the buckles to ascertain the
calibre of the guns. / could also ascer-
tain that the guns were mounted on
placed about three feet from the ships
sides. and the wall could be removed at
that particular place
"On the foredeck there were also two
guns of the same calibre and covered in
the same manner They were paced at
about 10 to 20 feet from the entrance of
the crews quarters and four feet from
the ships side"
Josephine Wier, keeper of New York
boarding house. made affidavit that
Lietch told her he was going to sail on
the Lusitania and that when she spoke OF
danger from submarines he said
"Oh. I'm not afraid; we have four big
brightly polished copper guns"
A third affidavit, by a man named
Grieve, is to the effect that the author
heard Lietch make the statement referred
TO by Mrs. Weir.
A fourth affidavit. by q man named
Brucker, says the deponent saw a cannon
on the Lusltania, while standing on the
dock.
II was understood that, even II the story
of the guns were true. II would not mean
recognition by the United States of Ger
manys right TO torpedo the Lusitania,
but that it might have an effect upon
German-American negotiations,

sarcasm. "Of course we drank a gallon
