LusitanIa Captain Testities at
Coroner's Inquest.
Old NOT ASK FOR CONVOY

Commander Of sunken cunard Liner
Declares He Carried Out to the Let
ter Special Instructions That Were
Given Him Before He Sailed From
New York.
Kinsale, Ireland, May 11.-Captain
w. T. Turner of the lost Lusitania
carried out to the letter special in
structions that were given him before
he sailed from New York on the fatal
trip, but he made no application to the
British admiralty for an escort for
the floating home of the hundreds un-
der his charge.
~ left that to them: it's their bust
ness, not mine," he said, testifying at
the inquest over five of the victims.
Then he added with emphasis: II
had to carry out my orders to 60 and
would do it again"
There was a pause in the proceed
ings. Il am very glad to hear you say
so, captain" Coroner Horgan replied
before continuing the questioning.
In addition to charging murder to
the officers of the submarine and the
emperor and government of Germany
the verdict as returned by the jury
expressed sympathy for the United
States in the loss of it's citizens who
persisted when the liner went down.
The verdict in full says:
I'VE find that the deceased met
death from prolonged immersion and
exhaustion in the sea eight miles
south-southwest of Old Head of Kin
sale, Friday, May Z, 1915, owing to
the sinking of the Lusitania by tor
pedoes fired by German submarine.
I'VE find that this appalling crime
was committed contrary to interna.
tional law and the conventions of all
civilized nations.
I'VE also charge the Officers of said
submarine and the emperor and gov
eminent of Germany under whose or
ders they acted with the crime Of
wholesale murder before the tribunal
of the civilized world.
1--WE desire to express sincere con.
dolences and sympathy with the rela-
tives Of the deceased, the Cunard
company and the United States. many
of whose citizens persisted in this
murderous attack no an unarmed

Coroner Morgan said that the first
torpedo fired by the German subma-
rine did serious damage to the LUST
tania, but that, not satisfied with this,
the Germans had discharged another.

must have been more deadly because
it went right through the ship, hasten.

President Indirectly Refers to
Lusitania Disaster.
MUST SET SPECIAL EXAMPLE
Declares at Philadelphia That There
10 Such Thing az Nation BE.
ing Too Proud to Fight.

Pn1laQelQnla, May 1O.-PreSl0ent
Wilson gave to a gathering of 1000
naturalized Americans the first init
nation of what course the United
States government will pursue in the
situation resulting from the loss OF
more than a hundred American lives
on the British liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that, while the United States
would remain at peace, 1t would seek
to convince Germany Of the injustice
to mankind of the tragedy of last Fri
day.
America" said the president,
must have the consciousness that on
all sides 1t touches elbows and touches
heart with all nations of mankind.
The example of America must be a
special example and must be an ex-
ample not merely of peace, because it
will not fight, but because peace is
healing and elevating influence of the
world and strife is not.
There is such thing as nation
being too proud to fight. There is
such thing as being so right that it
does not need to convince others by
force that it is right"
These remarks precipitated a tn.
multi of applause and patriotic en-
thusiasm attended by waving OF
thousands of small American flags.
The president made no direct refer
ence to the Lusitania tragedy, but the
audience did not hesitate to read the
application of his statement.
Mayor Introduces President.
Introduced by Mayor Blankerburg,
who spoke in distinctly German &C
cent, welcome and an appeal for q
single allegiance to the United States,
the president carried forward the idea
Of the welding of foreign blood in the
makeup of America by pointing out
the true goal of right American citi-
xenship to be a loyalty not to the
country Of ones birth, but to the land
Of ones adoption.
WuAO yVu OAlA6p AC S0AuS Oh
countries with you, you come with
purpose of leaving all other countries
behind you-bringing what is best OF
their spirit, but not looking over your
shoulder or seeking to perpetuate
what you leave in them. l would not
certainly be one who would suggest
that man cease to love the place Of
his origin. 1t is one thing to love
the place where you were born, and
another thing to dedicate yourself to
the place where You 60.
"You can't be an American if you
think Of yourself in groups. America
does not consist of groups. A man
who considers himself as belonging
to a national group is not yet an
American.
my advice to you is to think first
not only Of America, but to think first
of humanity, and you do not love hui
mainly If you seek to divide humanity
in jealous camps"
In his peroration the president
aroused much enthusiasm when he
said that he had felt that he ought
not to be away from Washington and
after coming he found that the gath
ering renewed his spirit as an Amer
ican"

VOTE TODAY ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 IN NEW JERSEY
Suffragettes Count on Pres ident's Support to Aid
 in Victory.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 1S.-This state will hold special election tomorrow on the proposed amendment to the constitution giving the right to vote to women. Interest is at high point. first, because the woman suf- frage organizations and their oppon- ents have conducted strong cam paigns and, second, because Presi- dent Wilson and members of his sabi- net, including Secretary of War Gar rson. New Jersey man, came out openly for woman suffrage several weeks ago.
 In a way it is test of strength for Mr. Wilson and the defeat of the amendment would be a personal set back for him. Besides the president and the secretary of war, the presi- dents, secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty, has promised to come home to New Jersey for the purpose of casting his vote in favor of the measure.
 Both sides are confident of victory The women count on the many per sonal endorsements of their cause from prominent men; while the antis believe that both the Democratic and Republican organizations, though not openly opposing woman suffrage, pri- vately frown upon it.
 The oppents of the:amendment say that political leaders have given secret orders that the amendment must be defeated. a9
 James R. Nugent dominating fac- tor in the Democratic organization of Newark and Essex counties, has long been openly opposed to the amend ment. The suffrage leaders count on a large. independent vote in these two committees
