VERDICT BLAMES GERMANY
Coroner's Jury Fixes Responsibility
for Loss of l,I5O Lives in Sink
ing of Liner lusitania.

Kinsale, Ireland May 1.-THE YER
which investigated the deaths result
ing from the torpedoing of the Lusi-
tania follows:
1--WE find that the deceased met
death from prolonged immersion and
exhaustion in the sea eight miles
south-southwe of Old Head of Kin
sale on Friday, May 7, 1915, owing to
the sinking of the Lusitania by torpe-
does fired by German submarine.
1--WE find that this appalling crime
was committed contrary to internation-
al law and the conventions of all CIV
ilized nations.
I'VE also charge the officers Of said,
submarine and the emperor and gov,
eminent of Germany under whose or,
ders they acted. with the crime OF
wholesale murder before the tribunal
of the civilized world.
I'VE desire to express sincere con-
dolences and sympathy with the rela-
tives of the deceased, the Cunard COM
pany and the United States, many OF
whose citizens persisted in this murder

Disaster Cost I,i6O Lives.
Although the Cunard officials sug-
gest that there may be few survivors
of the Lusitania not yet reported, suf-,
fering from injuries at some lonely
fishing hut or farmers cottage this
hope finds no reflection in official cir
Giles. There it is declared the living
are all accounted for. The latest avail
able figures show:
Dead, passengers and crew, 1850.
Saved, passengers and crew, 767
OF the latter, 465 were passengers
and 302 were members of the crew.

LONDON POLICE QUElL
ANTI-GERMAN RIOTERS
Many Persons Are Injured In British
Outbreaks Against Teutons-
Aliens to Be Interned

London, May 14.--The sinking of the
steamer Lusitania has aroused to a
violent climax the smoldering hatred
and suspicion of Germans living in
England. This animosity has found
expression in attacks on Germans,
principally upon their shops in the
poor quarters of London and Liver
pool, while there have been minor dis
turbances In Manchester, Birkenhead,
Glasgow and few other places.
Windows In many German shops
were smashed and some stores were
pillaged None of the persons at
tackled are reported to have been Sc
riously Injured. but a considerable
number were more or less beaten. One
or two shops have been set on fire.
A spontaneous movement has de-
veloped in the London market TO boy
colt subjects of enemy countries.
The police forces of both London
and Liverpool have been depleted by
enlistments in the army, and special
constables have been called out 20
help the regulars. A number of police
have been injured during the riotings.
Many of the disturbers of the peace
were brought before the police courts
and received punishment in sentences
ranging from four months imprison-
ment, imposed on one Liverpool
woman, to a four shillings fine
After the meeting Premier Asquith
made a statement in the house Of
commons foreshadowing that the gov
eminent would carry out the popular
demand for placing these aliens in
concentration camps

the country and to prevent Illicit com
munication between alien enemies
here and their governments abroad

Rome, May 17.-Premier Salandra
has called the first formal meeting Of
his cabinet to be held since the pass.
ing of the ministerial crisis which re-
suited in his remaining in power, with
a virtual vindication of his foreign poi
icy
The tension has been intensified by
reported clashes between Austrian
and Italian frontier guards, The tenn
per OF the Italian people has been
highly inflamed by dispatches telling
of "woman's revolution" at Trieste,
Twenty-seven women are said to have
been killed and 300 wounded there by
gendarmes when they charged a crowd
which was threatening the governors
palace.
Official confirmation Of the report
that the Salandra cabinet would re-
main in power was greeted by one of
the most remarkable demonstrations
of approval ever witnessed in Rome. A
crowd estimated at 100000 gathered in
the Popolo square at the foot of Pin
clan Hill, the slope and summit Of
which were thronged with representa-
tives of the most aristocratic families
in the capital.
Society women wearing the tri-color
of Italy waved flags and handkerchiefs
as they joined in the cheers for Sa-
landra and Foreign Minister Sonnino
while bands played patriotic airs. To
the Garibaldian veterans, in the crush.
1t seemed that the stirring days of the
war of independence had returned
Even horses and cabs were decked
with flags Beside the obelisk in the
square was an immense caricature Of
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. at
which all kinds of missiles were
hurled French, British, Belgian and
Russian flags were borne aloft with
the Italian colors.
There was a great patriotic demon

leader responded to insistent demands
for a speech by declaring: To-day the
Italian people are writing the last
page of their national liberation to

much better condition for the crops.
AS soon as one crop is taken out the
soil should be put in condition for the
next plants to go In.
Weeds are largely eliminated by
this practice. A few crops require
a whole season to mature in, such as
Long Blood beets, egg plant, water.
melons, onions, peppers, winter
squash and tomatoes. Other vege-
tables mature quickly, as string
beans, lettuce, turnip beets, summer
squash and turnips.
Radishes can be grown very quick
ly and reseeded in the same rows.
1t is not an easy matter to say just
which varieties will thrive best in
the various localities, 1t would be
like advising when to plant the differ
ent varieties.
One will make no mistake in study
ing the seed catalogues and the agri-
cultural bulletins, for they aim to give
reliable information. 1t is better to
stick to the standard varieties that
have proved adapted to your locality.
Celery, cabbages, caulifiowers, tur-
nips, tomatoes, eggplant and some of
the other vegetables may be trans
planted from May until July. June is
the best time for transplanting celery
and all the cabbage family when the
vegetables are wanted for winter use.

ERADICATING PESTS

War should be waged from the first
appearance of any garden pests; for.
from the grub or maggot that feasts
upon the tender onion bulbs TO the
tiny green aphis that saps the vigor
of the melon or cucumber through its
foliage, their depredations advance
rapidly.
When your onions flatten their
green tops on the ground pull up sew

crude carbollc acid.
Dissolve the soap in the water and

forms an emulsion. Then dilute it

Wants Prompt Action.
1.-THE government and people of the
United States look to the imperial Ger
man government for just, prompt and
enlightened action in this vital matter
with the greater confidence because
the United States and Germany are
bound together not only by special ties
of friendship but also by the explicit
stipulations of the treaty of 1928 be-
tween the United States and the king
dom of Prussia.
Expressions of regret and offers of
reparation in case of the destruction
of neutral ships sunk by mistake,
while they may satisfy International
obligations, If no loss of life results,
cannot justify or excuse a practice, the
natural and necessary effect of which
is to subject nations and neutral per-
sons to new and immeasurable risks.
"The imperial German government
will not expect the government Of the
United States to omit any word or

its sacred duty of maintaining the
rights of the United States and it's
citizens and of safeguarding their free
