New York, May 25.-The shock of the
Lusitania disaster gave new meaning
to haste and efficiency in various COM
mercial activities in New York. The
newspaper offices, telegraph offices and
cable stations were put to test that
has never been equaled-not even by the
Titanic disaster.
The impact of the torpedo against the
giant liner started various activities aside
from the news gathering efforts There
were buttons on the streets with the
I.nsitania in a circle of mourning twenty
four hours afterward and a novel based
on the Lusitania tragedy Is now on the
presses
Probably the greatest feat Of all. how
ever, was the stroke of a big music pub
fishing house. They received manu-
script on Tuesday noon, May II, entitled
when the Lusitania Went Down. A
consultation was held and the experts
declared the melody was all that could
be desired. Thirty hours later copies were
being shipped from coast to coast Tho
first day 5000 copies were sold and three
days later the high tide of 1900 had been
reached.

and as near as could be learned was
driving upon one of the bridges over

and threw his wife into the wind
shield where she was badly cut about
the face and hands. Mr.. Bickford
was not seriously hurt. The car was
badly bent and dented, although no
serious breakage occurred.
