FATE OF AMERICANS
DIVIDES SAILOR CAMP
Patriotism of Many Cooled by
Submarine Outrage-Search-
lights Guard Piers.

Following the request for additional
police protection made upon Chief
Hayes OF the Hoboken police by the
Hamburg American and the North Ger
man Lloyd lines, a score of deputy
surveyors and customs inspectors were
sent yesterday morning to the piers of
the two German steamship companies
aboard the coast guard cutter Calumet.
Although the steamship officials re-
fused TO admit they had received let
tiers threatening that retaliatory meas
ures for the sinking of the Lusitania
would be taken on their ships, the ru-
NOR was given wide circulation and ac-
cepted as fact by many along the Jer-
sey waterfront.
Captain Moeller, of the North Ger
man Lloyd, acknowledged that he had
asked for additional police protection
on Monday. Asked whether such let
tiers had been received, he diplomati-
cally answered:
I'VE receive so many letters here
that | cannot remember the tenor OF
their contents"
The customs men were distributed on
the fourteen German ships and spent a
busy day searching them from stem to
stern. They refused to make any state
ments, claiming that they were acting
under specific instructions from head
quarters.
The arrival Of the special police and
the customs inspectors caused a near
panic among the fifteen hundred Ger
man tars aboard the tied-up vessels.
When it became known that the Federal
officers were probably searching the
ships for possible hidden explosives,
many of the crews scurried ashore, and
vowed they would not spend another
night aboard.
The German reserve army Of TWEEN
ty-fve hundred men, scattered among
Hoboken's lodging houses, the Sea-
mems Home, and the idle ships, is
divided against itself Many Of the
German reservists freely admit that
recent developments in German war
far methods have considerably cooled
the ardor Of their patriotism. This
is especially true of many of the
German stewards who have had ex-
tensve contact with American passen-
gers aboard their ships.
"When heard of those American
men, and the helpless American wom-
en- and children, who persisted with the
Lusitania | nearly cried" said a chief
steward of one of the liners. Amer

FILE ANSWER TO
RIGGS SUIT MONDAY
Treasury Officials Granted
Delay to Argue Legal
Points of Case.

Washington, May IA delay until
Monday before filing the answer OF
the Treasury officials TO the injunction
suit Of the Riggs National Bank was
asked BY the government attorneys IN
the District of Columbia court to-day
and was granted by Justice Mccoy.
As stated by Samuel Untermyer, who
virtually assumed the role of chief
counsel, while Louis d. Brandeis and
the other attorneys for the Treasury
officials sat silent, the government
wants a sufficient length OF time not
only TO argue the legal points OF the
governments request to dismiss the
banks suit, but to reply to the in
vectives" used by the bank IN its origl-
nal bill.
To accomplish this the government
attorneys asked that the argument on
the governments motion TO dismiss
and the argument on the facts alleged
in the banks bill, including the charges
of conspiracy against Secretary Nc
Adoo and Controller Williams TO
wreck the Riggs Bank" be made at
the same time.
ut would be monstrous," declared
Mr.. Untermyer, "that these public Off
cials should be called into court upon
allegations of this kind and not have
an opportunity 10 reply to them. There
is much broader question here, and
that is the accountability of public
officers who have been grayely charged
and pilloried, and they do not feel
that however secure they may be upon
the legal proposition they ought to
rest on it,"
For the bank Senator Bailey declared
that he would not assent TO the propo-
sition that when the court comes TO de-
eide the demurrer it will take into con-
sideration anything said in the return"
The tilt over whether the govern
ment would be allowed TO discuss the
charges made by the bank in arguing
its request that the suit be dismissed
was brought up when Justice Mccoy
expressed the hope that all the argu-
ments could be made on the demurrer
in a day.
1t was the general opinion tonight
that the government officials, making
Untermyer their spokesman, will lend
as much political color to the case as
the court will permit them to do.

JANE adams HAS
FAITH in WILSON
DepIores War Talk in US.
Says Peace Congress
Was a Success.
fRr ON. 70 ne Tribune J

London. May 70" Whatever might
be the wisest thing TO do, gong 10 war
would be the most fatal was MISS
lane Addams's comment on the position
of the United States, with regard 10 tne
Iusitania case to-day. She said TINS
To the Tribune correspondent at no,
ception given her at St Ermin's hotei
to-day by some of the foremost women
Of England.
"The action to be taken is question
for the wise men Of the nation. J have
unlimited faith in President wilson.
He is absolutely safe" Miss Adams
proceeded. "Of course, it is abomln-
able, horrible, if one realizes the teei-
ines of all concerned, however remotely.
As psychologists state, grief and strain
are akin to irritation, and the present
outburst OF feeling IS only to be eA-
pected.
AT the same time, while appre-
ciate their feelings and absolute horror
of the incident, yet | affirm that war
should be the last thing America should
think Of To 60 TO war would be 10
neutraize our powers for good" -.
Asked about the peace congress- MISS
Adams said
81 think it was an entire success
confess | went somewhat tlmorously,
wondering how matters would turn out,
but after the first meeting, which was
somewhat cold because none present
seemed to realize their footing, the en-
tire proceedings went with wonderful
harmony and verve. The relations be-
tween the women of the various nations
were excellent
considering there were | ,S75 pres
ent, the smoOthness with which every
thing was conducted was remarkable.
OF course, we had to give in a good
deal to the Swedish and Danish women,
being particularly anxious to avoid
hurting any susceptibilities. We had
TO alter the wording of several resolu-
tlons on their account, but in the ag-
gregate the unanimlty was exceptional.
ITO change the attitude of the Dutch
people toward us was itself remarkable.
On the first day they laughed at tho
congress, asking if we would really ap-
preciate another peace palace, but by
the end Of the second day they were
discussing seriously our meetings and
toward the end our resolutions were
weighed by them with the utmost grav-
ity.
"Although our visit TO the Dutch
Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary
was private, | can say we were met by
them in the most cordial manner, and
believe our visit made a cons siderable
impression. Ny vie- is that Holland
is entirely neutral. and will remain so.
Altogether, | regard the congress as a
distinct triumph, both for the women
and for our objects. Its effects only
began with it's conclusion"

RESCUE OF BATES
DENIED BY FATHER
Saws Confusion in Names
of His Sons Caused
Erroneous Report.
BROTHER SEEKING
LUSITANIA VICTIM
Hourly Bulletins OF Quest for
Body Off Irish Coast
Received Here.

A rumor that LIndon W. Bates, IT..
had been seen among the survivors OF
the Lusitania in London was discredit-
ed last night by his father, Lindon W.
Bates. vicc-president OF the Commits
sion for Relief in Belgium.
ut is an unfortunate mistake" Mr..
Bates said. Probably some one con
fused Linden with my other son. Lin
dell Bates, who is in England hunting
for his brother. II there were any
truth In the report ! should have
heard Of it first from Lindell. who is
in almost hourly communication with
me"
The report came over the ticker OF
Wall Street news agency, and pur-
ported TO be from the American En-
bassy in London. Mr.. Bates investi-
gated the source Of the story and
found that IL evidently had been given
out for publication before the officials
Of tho embassy had seen it.
The name of Linden Bates headed a
list of additional survivors of the Lusl-
tanis. Investigation showed that the
list was inaccurate in other particu-
lars. several of the names purporting
W bt new having dCludIiS btcu vi bIlS
records for some time.
Immediately on receiving the report
Mr. Bates telephoned to William Phil
lips, Third Assistant Secretary OF State
in Washington. No such information
had been received in Washington. The
report also was shown to the officials
OF the Cunard company, but they could
not confirm it. The message was read
aloud, causing much excitement and
subsequent disappointment among rel
atives of other persons mentioned on
the list, when it was proved TO be UNI
authentic.
The message was as follows:
"The American Embassy to day added
the names of Linden Bates, jr., Will
lam Mem. Adams, Arthur Candlish,
Mrs. Ellen Candlish, Owen Cannon, VI
A. d. Donald, DR.. Carlfoss, DR.. Owen
Kenan and Herman A. Myers. Dr.
Kenan is at Queenstown, suffering
from a slight illness"
Mr.. Bates said last night that he
would place no credence in the report
until it was confirmed by his son, Lin
dell Bates. The last word from him
was received at 80 o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t was as follows "No
longer any nope, remaining Jew Gay =
patrolling coast. Dell"
Lindell Bates, who is a student al
Madrid, Spain, arrived in London or
Friday morning, intending to enjoy g
few days holiday with his elder broth
err Instead, he started for Queens
town TO search for his body.
II was learned yesterday at the Gu
nard Line Office that A. H. Adams, Lon
don representative of the United State:
Rubber Company, reported as saved
was actually among the lost. A second
cabin passenger named Allan II. Adam:
was saved, and as he was booked as
A. H. Adams it was inferred that hi
was the A. II. Adams of the first cabin
". Mem. Adams, a son of the rub
Der company's representative, who was
a passenger on the Lusitania with his
father, reported the latter's death yes
terdsy.

NO WARNING GIVEN,
SAYS u. S. EMBASSY
Torpedo Hit the Lusitania Amid
ships and Vessel Sank In
Eighteen Minutes.

London, May l2.-The following
statement was issued to-day at the
American Embassy:
"As to the sinking of the Lusitanis,
il appears from all statements which
have been secured that no warning
was given. A torpedo hit amidships on
the starboard side, and the ship listed
because of the longitudinal character
of the bulkheads, the port air spaces
remaining intact. Later she righted.
THE sinking was in sixty fathoms,
and the captain believes her nose
touched the bottom before her stern
disappeared, accounting for the light
suction. -,
1T seems from reports rather dubl-
Gus whether a second torpedo struck
the ship.
"The sinking took eighteen minutes,
and occurred at 1928 o'clock"
