Washington, May 7.-President Wir son had Just finished luncheon and was about to leave the white house for a drive when he heard the news of tGe sinking of the Lusitania.
 Al the cabinet meeting less than an Lour before the torpedoing of the American steamer Gulflight with the death of three Americans had been discussed and party of cabinet mem bers had gathered for luncheon at a nearby hotel when ue news was taken to them All thes secretarie Immediately hurried back 50 tlcir offices.
 The presidents first question of the secretary who brought him the d.s- patch was whether any ives had ben lost and his relief was evident when he was told the first dispatch mIi- cated that all had been saved.
 He abandoned his ride to keep ,n close touch with the state department which soon after transmitted to him Ambassador Pages cablegram. which was the first official information to reach the government, and kept to his study for the remainder of the after noon reading dispatches as the secre tarics brought them i'm He made no comment and white house officials said none would be forthcoming if at an until after all the facts were known.
 The degree of concern which the administration would feel in the incl dent. officials stated, would be meas ured hy whether any American lives were sacrificed in the German coup to sink the big liner
 As the latter dispatches came in in. d.cating that efforts to save had been successful profound relief was ao. parent
 Even though it had been feared that the liner might be attacked, to the president and his official family the news was a shock and surprise. II might trutnfuny be said that if burst upon official Washington like a bomb At the first moment all off, cials realized that the number and importance of the American aboard the Iusjtania might face Washuaton with the most serious situation since the outbreak of the war.
 For some hours officials silently and erovey scanned the news d.s- patches and eagerly awaited some of ncial adyices from London of the American copsu3tes scattered along the region of the disaster withheld their comment, merely eN ressing the hope that mo Amercaus mad been lost
 The tension of the first few hours, however. in all branches of the gov crumcnt was nconcoaled. II prob ably has not been equaled since the Mexican crisis reached it's heigat just two years ago
 The state department and the exc. cutsyc offices were dougod with a steady stream of inquiries, many of which camo from the diplomatic colony
 After dinner thc president returned to his study and spent the evening reading tho dispatches.

Slayer of Stanford White Ordered Back to State Hospital for Criminal h. sane by the New York Supreme Court FIVE DAYS FOR
 FILING APPEAL Court Holds, All Justices ConcuIring, That Orig inal Order Committing Thaw to the Asylum is Still Valid
ASSOCIATED PRESS prsPArcHl

NEW YORK, April 1e.-Harry Thaw was today ordered back to the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan by the appellate division of the New York supreme court. In the, opinion, concurred in by all the justices, the court affirm cd the denial by Supreme Justice Page of the motion to return Thaw to the jurisdiction of the state of New Hampshire.
 The court held the original order committing Thaw to Mattawan was still valid. Plans are now being for mulated to take the case to the state court of appeals.
 A decision averse to Thaw came as a great surprise to his counsel, The court held that in returning involun- tarily to this Jurisdiction Thaw was subject to no promise or inducement. and that New Hampshire had only done the duty expected of it when it returned him to New York to answer for the crime for which he had been indicted.
 The order carried with it the pro
 
 from New York county until five days have elapsed.
 The writ of habeas corpus was sworn out in Thaw's behalf after he was acquitted of the charge of con spiracy is and finally returnable on Monday. At that time counsel will present arguments urging that their client be granted permission to have a jury determine his present mental condition.
 Should a decision unfavorable to Thaw be forthcoming by "Wednesday the state will have the right to return him to Matteawan forthwith, provid- ing his counsel shall have not se- cured a stay of execution in the or der committing him to Matteawan, pending an appeal

NEUVE CHAPELLE, April 16.- The ground West of this shattered town whence the British drove the Germans in the middle of March with terrible loss of life to both sides is literally cobbled with German skulls Beneath the surface six inches the bayonet meets the resist ance of cloth and flesh. In No Mans Land between the British and Ger man trenches. the bodies lie thick, and neither daring remove the corps, they are likely to be there when sum- mer comes.
 So quickly did the British break through the German line that full details are only now becoming known even to the men who participated. The suddeness of the advance was such that the men were so daZed only knew they got through. Tae British officers assert it was too quick for the best results, the Ger man line giving way so suddenly that the British, like a man hits an opponent with all his might. and en- counters slight resistance, is thereby thrown off his balance.
 If We had had 3 chance for it that day. I believe we could have taken Aubers also, and perhaps Lille.' said one officer with smile. At any rate we gave the Germans the worst drubbing of the war. and the effect of our front was incalcuable. Every man on the British army believes we could break the German line ii

Influence EXerted by Him on Governmental Affairs Illustrated by Title of General Manager of the United States
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1SPATCHl
 NEW YORK, April 16.-Nelson w. Aldrich. former United States sena- tor from Rhode Island. died here this morning of apoplexy following an at tack of indigestion since yesterday. He will be buried Sunday afternoon at Providence
 Those at the bedside when Aldrich died include his wife, Miss Aldrich, Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr, daugh- ters and Winthrop Aldrich, q son.
 Born in Foster, R. l., Nov. 6 1S41, Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich first appeared in public office as member of the common council in the city oi Providence He was elected to the Rhode Island assembly in 1875. ana four years later sent to congress After two sessions he was elevated tc the senate. as successor of Genera Ambrose F.. Burnside.
 Mr. Aldrich held seat in the United States enate continuously from 1881 to 1911 The influence ex- erted by him on governmental af- fairs was best illustrated by the fact that when he was satirically intro duced to an audience as "the general manager of the United States that appeilation lived through the admin istrations of Mckinley. Roosevelt and Taft.
 Probably the greatest parliament arian that ever served in the Senate Mr. Aldrich had no difficulty ir maintaining leadership of his party Although known among the veterans as committee senator he was quite as much at home on the flooi and naturally was more in evidence in the larger arena. While he gave special attention to the tariff ano financial legislation in. committee. or the senate floor his ear was opei for all that was said on any subject of general importance. He seldom failed to participate in the discussion of any measure affecting govern mental policies
 Naturally Mir. Aldrichs long-con- tinued supremacy in the counsels o his party and in directing legisla tior caused him to become the subject O much adverse criticism. He wa: charged with bossism and with beins the tool of the interests. Whethe or not this was true in the main it can be said in fairness that some of these assertions gained and helt currency because it was his policy never to defend himself against pub lished attacks. He rarely permitted l himself to be quoted by the press. The fact that his daughter wa married to son of John D. Rocke feiler served to strengthen the popu | lar impression that Senator Aldricl
 was in some way peculiarly friendl, i to the oil magnate, and considerat, of the so-called Rockefeller inter ests." Yet when a friend of the sena, l (Continued on Page Two)

Governor Dunne has ordered the members of the state board of arbitration to offer their services to the Chicago BGilding Trades wo"kmen and their employers in the interest of industrial peace < call was issued immediately fog a meeting of the board on Monday It is estimated that 125,000 wage -carnors in Chicago are made iobless hy the strike and lockout today.
 Employing interests predicted the list of idle will grow unless an agree ment to arbitrate is reached.
 The strike order issued by the car penters' district counsel. which be- came effective at the close Of work yesterday, was followed today by q retaliative measure in the form of a lockout directed at 16,00o carpenters engaged in construction work all over Cook county. The lockout debarred union carpenters from work on 4o0o buildings which are being erected by 1900 contractors who are pledged and bonded to maintain their stand until every union in the structural trades

 Union leaders declared tonight the strike will not end until the demands of the men for increased wages If | cents an hour is granted.
 Resides a total of 60,0O0 unionists of various branches of the building trades. at least 6O,O00 more men and women in the shops and mills that furnish material for buildings are laid off
 The labor situation in Chicago has been growing more tense each day since March l. when the fathers went on strike.
 Three building trades unions that are confronted with the alternative of accepting the Employers associations terms or being locked out are the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, Cement t'inishers and Marble Setters.
 The structural iron workers have been avoiding a settlement because of a lurisdictional dispute with the Build ing Laborers' union. which has made a demand for the right to set rein forcing steel in concrete. The iron workers say they have a prior claim to this work.
 The cement finishers are demanding e. cents an hour for the first year G.iL cents for the second and 70 cents for the third year.
 Settlement of the dispute between the Marble Sctters' union and the employers has been delayed by q jursdictional fight with the Brick layers union which wants to absorb the marble setters.

 ROTARY PLAN
F. F.. Rich induces Rotary Club to Start Movement to Help Apache County People Ruined by Break ing of Lyman Dam

Al full attendance Of the Rotary clubs regular Friday luncheon yester- day. F. r.. Rich made an impassioned appeal to the people of Salt River valley for quick and liberal support from this valley to the stricken people of the St. Johns valley. who had the misfortune to have their storage dam completely destroyed at the time that this valley was celebrating it's great fortune of having the Roosevelt dam filled with water. Mir Rich explained the condition in the St. Johns ranches, the need of food, clothing and money.
 The Rotarians responded quickly, of fering their individual services, as well as club financial aid, and President A. A. Betts appointed Frank E. Rich as chairman, with First Lieutenants W. w. Edwards and P C. Gettins to represent the Rotary club in the work Of getting relief promptly from Salt River valley to the St Johns people.
 The matter had already been taken up with the Santa Fe railroad and with the corporation commission, and the hope was expressed that it would be possible for the Santa Fe to be given the privilege of transporting free of charge the donations from the Salt River valley. It was also decided to ask the newspapers to give enthusiastic publicity support to a campaign.
 Another interesting feature at the Rotary club yesterday was an address by Senator H. F. Ashurst on the sub ject of business.
 w. $. Goldworthy made a very in- teresting talk upon the beauties of northern Arizona as a summer resort for Phoenix people, and urged the people of Salt River valley 10 investi- gate these resorts and to spend their vacations in northern Arizona.
 George w. Barrows told the Rotar- ians of specialization in the making of furniture, at the present time. and made q strong argument for the trade at home movement in this line Personal inspection of the article purchased. he said was a big factor in lasting satisfaction for the buyer The difference in rates on carload lots and on smaller shipments, he stated, made it to the advantage of purchasers to buy their furniture from Phoenix houses, instead of sending their money away, and pay ! ing higher freight rates.
