DR.. OWEN kENAN NOW
ILL At QUEENSTOWN

Queenstown, May 10.-Dr. Owen Ke-
nan, of Wilmington, N. c., on the Lusi-
tania's passenger list as from New
York, was found critically ill in a hotel
late today.
DR.. Kenan said that as he went down
with the ship he saw Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt leaning against a gateway
door, and that Mr.. Vanderbilt called
out to him: "They have got US now"
Mr.. Vanderbilt, according to Dr. Ke-
nan, wore what looked like a heavy
overcoat, around which life belt had
been buckled. DR.. Kenan did not see
him come to the rail of the steamer.
DR.. Kenan declares that he went
down twice. The first time he was sub
merged it seemed as if he had gone to
the bottom. He kept his eyes open
and finally saw the light and then his
head protruded from the water, but
stayed there only long enough for him
to get a couple of gasps of air. Then
he was pulled down again and came
up almost under meath two boats. He
was picked up a moment later.

MEMORIAL DAY
GOldsbOro's Observance Yesterday was
Both Patriotic and Impressive
Great Grafton by Attorney
General Beckett.

The Goldsboro way of doing the right
thing in the right way was character
istic of our peoples observance of the
passing of Confederate Memorial Day
yesterday.
The afternoon had been set apart for
the hal1owed services, and at 4 O'Clock
the spacious court house auditorium
was thronged with citizens, old and
young, ladies, men and children,
Daughters of the Confederacy and Con-
federate Veterans to hear the address
of Attorney General Beckett, and par
ticipate in the other services.
The services were opened by beau
tifully appropriate prayer, tender and
inspiring, by Rev. N. H. D. Wilson.
pastor OF ST. Paul M. E. church, ard
this was followed by the hymn Nearer
My God to Thee" by a special choir,
whose singing was a feature.
Capt. T. w. Slocumb, commander OF
Thos. Ruffin Camp, Confederate Veter-
ans, then in the most ornate and beau
tiful language, introduced the orator
of the hal1owed occasion, Hon. T. w.
Beckett, Attorney General of North
Carolina
For nearly an hour Mr.. Beckett held
his audience, from his opening sent
ence to his sublime closing, as if en-
tranced, SO completely did he captivate
them and so charmed were they with
his entirely new and eloquent review
of the whole question of the war in all
it's phases, that has been discussed by
so many thousands of Memorial ora
tors on recurring Memorial days for
fifty years.
Indeed, Mr.. Beckett proved himself
yesterday, as he always does in public
speech and in his writings, a thinker
of big thoughts, capable of clothing
them in commensurate language to the
point, a patriot without partisanship,
a statesman ranking with the finest
our country has ever produced, and in
all respects a man of whom North
Carolina has every reason to be justly
proud and whom our people cannot
honor beyond his desert or his ability
to do his State proud
So After the address, another hymn
was rendered by the choir, and then
the people formed, in procession, with
the Boy Scouts as a guard of honor,
and proceeded to the cemetery bearing
beautiful flowers in profuse abund-
ance with which they decorated the
Confederate Square and other Confed-
crate graves in different sections of
lovely Willow Dale.

PUTS BLAME ON BRITISH

Berlin, via London, May 1O-The
following dispatch has been sent by
the German foreign Office to the Ger
man Embassy at Washington:
please communicate the following
to the State Department: The Ger
man government desires to express its
deepest sympathy at the loss of lives
on board the Lusitania. The respon-
sibility rests however with the British
government, which through it's plan
of starving the civilian population of
Germany, has forced Germany to re-
sort to reta1iatory measures.
I'm spite of the German offer to stop
the submarine war in case the starva-
tion plan was given up, British mer-
chant vessels are being generally arm
ed with guns and have repeatedly tried
to ram submarines, SO that previous
search was impossible.
sThey cannot, therefore be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels A re-
cent declaration made to the British
Parliament by the Parliamentary Sec
retary in answer to question of Lord
Charles Beresford said that at the
present practically all British mer-
chant vessels were armed and provid-
ed with hand grenades.
Besides, it has been openly admitted
by the British press that the Lusitania
on previous voyages repeatedly carried
large quantities of war material. On
the present voyage the Lusitania car
ried 5,40O cases of ammunition, while
the rest of the cargo also consisted
chiefly of contraband.
eff England after repeated official
and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that that boat
ran no risk and thus light heartedly
assumed responsibility of human life
on board a steamer owing to it's arma-
ment and cargo, was liable to destruc-
ton, the German government, in spite
of it's heartfelt sympathy for the loss
Of American lives, cannot but regret
that Americans felt more inclined to
trust to English promises rather than
pay attention to the warnings from
the German side.

THREE ALTERNATIVES TO
Be PRESENTED TO CABINET
War, Severing of Relat-
ions, Or Neutral Con-
ference
WAR LAST ALTERNATIVE
Conference of Neutra1s Is Believed to
Be the Most Likely Course FOIeW-
ed-President Wilson Is LOy-
ally Supported.

Washington, May 10.-At least three
alternatives will be presented to the
cabinet tomorrow when the President
advisers meet with him to consider ac-
tion on the loss of American lives in
the sinking of the Lusitania by Ger
man submarine. According to high
official they are:
'War
"Severing of diplomatic relations
with Germany and notification Of the
neutrality proclamation in so far as
it applies to the German empire.
conference of all the neutral pow
ers for the purpose of acting in con-
cert to prevent recurrence of the
Lusitania disaster"
A declaration of war will be the
last alternative accepted, in the opin-
ion of those close to the administra-
tion.
President Wilson, so far as is known
has not indicated to any one what po-
s1tiOn he will take. 1t is the general
belief here, however, that serious con-
sideration has been given to the sug-
gestion that he withdraw Ambassador
Gerard from Berlin and call a confer
ence of neutral powers.
There are some who assert that such
action would be tantamount to dec
1aration of war, while others express
the view that this course would mere
ly serve to impress upon the German
government the disapproval of it's fail
given them usually under information
al law.
That the United States will have the
support of all neutrals, large and
small, in any drastic course it may
pursue, is indicated by the flood of
criticism appearing in the newspapers
of the countries not now involved in
the war.
A conference of neutrals would bring
together representatives of Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Holland, Greece
Switzerland, China, Roumania, Bull
garia and the republic of Latin Ameri-
ca. Most of them, according to press
dispatches, have expressed themselves
in strong terms against the Lusitania
outrage.
1t was discovered today that there
are numerous precedents for with
drawing a diplomatic representative
without precipitating open hostilities
This has not infrequently been follow
ed when one power wished to indicate
to another that its rights had been
ignored.
Just what could be gained in this
instance, however, is not clear Official
Washington is willing to await the
judgment of President Wilson before
any definite plan is presented and it
is certain that whatever decision the
chief executive reaches will have the
loyal support of his advisers.

CLAIMS HE is MEXICAN CHIEF
Gutierrez Asserts He is Legally Chosen
observation-disclosures Villa and
Zapata Deposed.

Washington, Jan. 22.-General Eula-
lilo Gutierrez, elected provisional presi-
dent of Mexico by the convention at
Aguas Calientes, has not abandoned
his claim to that Office with his depart
ure from Mexico City. In a proclama-
ton issued from Pachuea and reported
to the state department, Gutierrez, as
serted that he is the legally chosen
executive, charges that the convention
which re-assembled at Mexico City was
under military coercion, and formally
declares Villa, Zapata and other gen
erals deposed from their commands.
This proclamation, which is virtually
the same as the manifesto which Guti-
errez offered to issue two weeks ago,
while he was still at the capital, il
General Obregon and others would join
him in q movement to eliminate Villa
and Zapata, accuses both of the latter
officers of murder, brigandage, and
high-handed INSTRUMENTATION, declares
independence Of Carranza as well, and
calls upon the Mexican nation for sup
port.
