Born on Michigan farm just as the civil war broke out, R. H. Ingersoll managed to save up $25. With this carefully concealed he boarded a cattle train and dropped off in New England. It wasn't long until he was in the rub Der stamp business, selling stamps and novelties, mostly by mail. A common alarm clock gave IngersolI the idea for the Dollar watch-the first ones be- ing huge affairs. Gradually the watches were made smaller and finer. And as the watches were made better the ad- vertising was increased, until last year over 3,o00,O 900 watches were sold!

Won JAGOW'S PEN SEEN
IN NOTE OF AUSTRIA
German Foreign Minister and Chancel-
lor Drafted Communication. Ber-
lin Dispatch Asserts.

Berne, July 7.-It is stated on the hes
authority that the Austrian note t.
America was sent at German instiga
ton. and was drafted by Chancellor vor
Bethmann- Hollweg and Foreign Minister
Won Jagow. One reason for thus using
Austria as a pawn is that she did not
as did Germany. supply England with
war material during the Boer war. and.
consequently. cannot Immediately be &C
cused of objecting to Americas doing
precisely what Germany did herself. In
Austrian official circles, not much tangi-
BILE results is expected. but the note,
nevertheless, is considered a clever move.
Another reason for the Intervention of
Austria is that Roumania lately refused
to allow the transportation of German
war material to Turkey. 1t is learned
also that IL was only owing to strong
pressure from Germany that Austria con-
scented to dispatch the note.
London. July 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette. commenting on the Austrian note
to the United States, says:
Little heed. we ina CINE, will be paid

fun is to be rounded off by the dispatch

ly necessary to show that if there is any
rupture in relations, the United States
will have to reckon with Germany's allies

NATIONAL FORESTS GIVE
water TO l,IO0 TOWNS
Secretary Houston. Back from Thirty
Days Tour. Greatly Pleased
with What He Saw.

More than ], 100 towns and cities in the
United States draw a good and unfailing
water supply from national forests. and
some of the biggest irrigation works In
the world have their water supply con-
served by the trees belonging to the
United States Government. according TO
Secretary OF Agriculture Houston. who
recently made a thirty-day tour of the
six great forest districts of the West.
The Forest Service is one of the bureaus
under his charge. and the Secretary
went into the field to get f1rst-hand i'm
pressions of the manner in which this
much-critcised branch of the govern
ment is conducted.
Secretary Houston's opinion of the
Forest Service is favorable. In a letter
to Chief Forester Graves he declared
himself satisfied that the settlers in the
region of each of the national forests
were getting valuable help in the form
of cheap pasturage for their stock, and
a reliable water supply, as we'll as tim
Der at reasonable prices. He was aston
ished at the extent of the recreational
use made by the public of these wild
tracts. and at the smooth working of
the vast administrative machinery of the
service in Its actual contact with the
settlers everywhere.
Inc secretary penetrated INTO tne LOT
est reserves on logging locomotives, au-
tomobiles. horseback, and at times on
foot, and talked with forest rangers and
guards, homesteaders, lumberjacks. min
ers and cattlemen.
II was gratified with the evidences of
enthusiasm. loyalty and devotion to
duty on the part Of all representatives Of
the department with whom 1 came in
contact" said he. II was especially i'm
pressed with the intelligent and sympa-
thetic attitude between the Forest Serv-
ice and the users of the forests and OF
all communities dependent upon them"
In his travels the Secretary learned
that upwards of a million persons an
nually camp. hunt. fish, maintain sum-
mer homes or resorts or make trips
through the national forests. In the
Santa Fee forest in New Mexico many
cottages have been built; In
the Coconino and Tusayan forests in
bordering the Grand Canyon.
trails and roads must be constructed to
admit the tourists and campers. The to-
tai Of such work thus far completed in
all Of the national forests Is 5000 miles
Of road and 2. 900 miles of trail.
The Angeles forest. in Southern Cali
fornia, has furnished the water to irri.
gate q great tract Of desert. and to make
it marvel Of agricultural wealth. The
Sierra forest, at the summit of the
range. stores water for a pow
er project having a 900 plant.

ertv Bells triumphant journey across the
continent ended at the exposition grounds

the alton welcomed the bell to the ex-
position. The States to the north and
the west OF California sent their thou
sands to speak greetings. and all nations
Of the world joined with America in bid
ding the Liberty Bell welcome to the
worlds fair.
The bell was escorted to the exposition
by the greatest military parade attempted
since the opening Of the fair. In front

BY HERBERT TEMPLE,

| SPECIAL Correspondent of The Washington Herald
| London, July 17.-That the liner Lusi.
tania was destroyed with a loss of more
| than 1000 lives by two torpedoes fired by
| a German submarine without warning
and not by an explosion of ammunition in
| her cargo is the chief feature of the ver-
dict rendered today by Lord Mersey. who
presided at the investigation into the
sinking of the Cunarder on May :.
The verdict places the blame thus:
The whole blame for the catastrophe
rests solely upon those who plotted and
committed the crime"
Their Aim to XIII.
In the verdict Lord Mersey emphasized
these points:
!. The Lusitania was struck almost
simultaneously by two torpedoes.
,. The liner was attacked not merely
with a view to sinking her but also with
the purpose of causing loss of life.
}. The Lusitania was unarmed. She
carried no concealed guns. no trained
gunners and no trained troops. The yes
sci had on board number of cases of
cartridges which were entered in her
manifest. but had no other ammunition
on board.
(. Can't. Turner failed to follow the
admiralty's advice, although full instruc-
tons had been given him.
-. II capt. turner had fully needed the
advice Of the admiralty the Lusitania
might not have been sunk. However.
blame for the disaster is not attributed
to Capt Turner.
LifcbOats Approved.
6 The Cunard line had not violated
the laws of the United States in the
case of the Lusita mia. as charged by
Germany.
:. The submarine which sank the Lusi-
tania did not reveal its identity before
the attack was made. as 1t carried no
flag.
S. Compla nts of the survivors about
the condition of the life boats on the
liner were ill-founded
g. "Rea sonable and practical" meas
ures We're taken by those in charge of
the ship after the attack was made.
The evidence shows that the Lusi- |
tania was an unarmed ship says Lord
Mersey. The attack was made without
warning and no opportunity was given
the passengers to leave the ship. The
Lusitania was not an armed ship. She
carried no ammunition for use on the

be held incompunicado. Superintendent

Bomb Theory Investigated.
A high police official active in directing
the inquiry OF Weinschenk's case said ::
"All indications are that this man be-
came insane over religion" The theory
that Weinschenk's act which would
startle the world, was intended TO be
bomb outrage such as WAS committed at
the Capitol by Frank Holt is being inves-
tisated by the police.
The police official said that there
was nothing to implicate Weinschenk
in any kind of a conspiracy. nothing
to show that he ever heard of Holt
except through newspa pers and moth
ing to show that Weinschenk contem-
plated any violence such as Hollis at
tempt on the life of J. +. Morgan.
The police yesterday made casual
search of Weinschenk's Office, but
found nothing except his papers and
the bulletins issued by the Interna-
tional Information Bureau, in addi-
ton to ordinary office miscellany.
After the search the Office was sealed
u will not be opened until the mental
status of WeinsChenk is officially es-
tahlished.
An interesting fact brought to light
yesterday by detectives was the ex-
tent of WeinsChenk's publicity for his
bulletins. 1t was found that his
weekly expenditures for postage
stamps alone frequently exceeded
$3.50. 1t is stated the man has spent
about 100000 in the last two years
on various publicity schemes. He is

voyage. no marked guns and no trained
Sunners. Nor did the liner carry troops.
In no wise were the laws of the United
States violated.
Hides Admiralty Secret.
LAS the manifest showed the Lusi-
I tania carried a number of cases of car
| tridCes. There was no secret about this.
In the opinion of the board of in
| quiry. the Lusitania was torpedoed not
alone with the intention of sinking her
but also with the intention of causing
| loss of life by destroying passengers
Lord Mersey declined to discuss the
evidence dealing with the admiralty
advice to Capt. Turner, evidently fear
ing that it would be of use to Ger
many. He said. however that the
admiralty had devoted anxious care
TO the submarine peril and had issued
advice to navigators generally.
Continuing Lord Mersey says:
Captain Held BIameIess.
The Lusitania was struck with two
torpedoes. which hit her almost stimuli
taneously.
Reasonable and practical measures
We're taken on board the liner after
the attack to insure the safety of
passengers No loss of life can be
attributed TO neglect on the part of
the ships master. Complaints of wit
nesses as to the leaky condition of
lifeboats are ill-founded."
Boat Accommodation Ample.
Lord Mersey stated that the LUST
tania provided boat accommoda tons
for $3.50 passengers. but the total
number on board when the ship was
destroyed was only 1859. The total
number of lives lost was lbs, of
whom 7S5 were passengers. and Alb
members of the crew. OF the passen-
gers 124 were Americans and 35 were
infants.
Then Lord Mersey referred to the
warning published in New York news
papers by the German Ambassador just
before the ship sailed. In the view of
Lord Mersey this warning. far from
excusing the crime. only aggravated
il. as 1t showed that it was deliberate
and planned in advance.
1t had been said by the German
that the liner was carry
ing masked guns and was transport
ing Canadian troops. hut this was
as "baseless invention"
by Lord Mersey.
