HESPERIAN EVIDENCE
IS in NAVY'S HANDS
Comprises Metal Which British Say
Was Part of Torpedo or Mine.
To Be Examined.

Additional evidence in the case of the
Allen liner Hesperian. destroyed Off the
Irish coast, was received at the State De-
partment yesterday from Ambassador
Page at London.
Interest in this evidence centers chiefly
in fragment of metal, said by the Brit
ish authorities to have been picked up on
the deck of the Hesperian following the
explosion which caused the liners de-
struction. The British assert that this
piece of metal is unquestionably a frag-
ment of a torpedo. and that thus 1t Is
conclusively proved that the Hesperian
was the victim Of an attack by German
submarine. The fragment was given Am
bassador Page by the British admiralty.
Acting Secretary of State Polk has
transmitted the piece of metal and docu-
ments referring to 1t to the Navy Depart
ment for examination and determination,
il possible. whether II was part of a
mine or torpedo. The piece Of metal is
described as being about twelve inches
long, of steel. and apparently part of in
side mechanism OF either a mine or tor
pedo Reports from London recently
stated that attaches of the American
Embassy who had opportunity to exam
inc the fragment agreed with the British
conclusion that II Is part of a torpedo.
Determination Of this question Is Of par
ticular interest. in view Of the fact that
if the Hesperian was attacked by SUD-
marine. it was in violation of Germany's 8
pledge not to attack liners without warn
ing and without regard for the safety OF
passengers and crew. The Berlin gov
eminent has formally and officially dis
claimed responsibility for the sinking OF
the Hesperian, asserting that no German
submarines were In her vicinity at the
time she was destroyed. Heretofore the
United States government has not had
sufficiently conclusive evidence support
ing the submarine theory to warrant Its
making any further representations TO
the @erman government.
Accompanying the fragment Of metal
were q number of afidavits made by ofi-
GERS and passengers of the Hesperian. It
Is understood that all agree that no sub
marine was seen before or after the ex-
plosion in the Hesperian. and that no
torpedo or torpedo wake was seen. The
officers Of the vessel, however. assert that
the piece OF metal in question was picked
up on the deck just after the explosion
occurred
