SINKING IS HELD UNLAWFUL.
Experts Declare TorpedOinE Viola
ton Of international Law.

New York. May 7.-Experts in the re-
lationship of warning nations toda Y
agreed in declaring the torpedoing OF the
Cunard liner Lusitania violation of in
ternational law. They predicated their
statements, however. on press reports de-
clarng the ship had been destroyed with
out warning.
Frederic r. Coudert. of the information
al law firm of Coudert Brothers. said:
ITO ruthlessly sink a merchant ship
upon the open seas. endanCering the life
of citizens of neutral country is an act
of barba rsm without precedent
IF this has been done. 1t is up to the
government of the United States to say
whether it shall sit idly by and see its
citizens killed or take measures to pro-
tect its citizens in travel
DR.. +. &. Stowell. professor of inter
national law at Columbia University,
said:
ITO torpedo a merchant vessel without
warning, however. is plainly a violation
of international law. and contrary to
guarantees of safety to those aboard. 1t
makes no difference whether the LusI-
tania was within or without the three
mile zone"
Everett p. Wheeler. an authority on in
ternational law. said:
IF the Lusitania was torpedoed with
out warning. it was a violation Of inter-
national law"

did she lose her superb self-control and

Slowly District Attorney Smith led her
to a discussion of the scene in her hus-

she had seen the latter pass money to

out and the expert. Henry J. Home. OF

The decision is important because it af-

Barnes can be directly connected with
this graft il is likely that all the evil

SUFFRAGE DENIED IN
 ALL STATES VOTING
Large Cities of Three Dis tricts Poll Heavy Anti
 Votes.

The women of New York, Massa- chusetts and Pennsylvania asked fol the vote yesterday and received an l emphatic denial. These three great ] Atlantic seabOard states have joined New Jersey in withholding from wom- en the suffrage they enjoy in some of the western states.
 The indicated majority against a woman suffrage amendment to the constitution in New York based on re- turns from more than two-thirds of the state, is 21O,OOO.
 Massachusetts defeated the proposi- l tion by a majority of 132,6O2 on 8 to- tai vote of 457,304.'
 Reports from about one quarter of the state indicated that the vote in Pennsylvania was against suffrage by majority of 6O,O00.
 The largest maiorities against the amendment in proportion to popula- tion were rolled up in the cities of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. The proposition received it's strongest support in the western portions of New York and Pennsylvania.
 Under the law five years must elapse before suffrage amendment can be put to popular vote again in FonnSy1Nan1d | aHu 1\0W jersey, IOuT years in New York and two in Mas sachusetts. National leaders of the suffrage cause declared today that they would now devote their efforts to the national congress and strive for a votes for women amendment to the fededal constitution.
 Leaders of the organizations op- posed to woman suffrage, which have made an active fight against the proposition, said that the result was no more than they expected. Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Wo- man Suffrage who has been conduct ing the fight from headquarters in New York, will leave immediately to organize the campaign in South Da- kota, Iowa and West Virginia, where the proposition will be put to a test in 1916.
