TORPEDO SINKS U. S. SHIP
American Boat Leelanaw Laden With
Flax For Belfast Goes Down On
Scottish Coast.

Observation-Disclosures Of the sinking
yesterday, off the northwest coast OF
Scotland, OF the American steamship
Leelanaw, laden with flax for Belfast,
by a German submarine, has caused
great concern in official quarters and
has admittedly aggravated the tense
situation now existing between the
United States government and the
imperial German government.
While Germany specifically declared
flax an absolute c%ontraband of wal on
April IS, and while officials hesitated
to construe the latest hostile act OF
Germany as coming within the warn
ing of the last note, the view is taken
that Germany. in effect, had disre'
garded an earlier note sent in connec'
ton with the sinking of the American
sailing ship William p. Frye, by the
German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In that communication the United
States vigorously asserted It's position
that even though an American ship
carried c%ontraband OF war, 1t was pc
culiarly protected from destruction by
the stipulations of the Prussian-Amer.
lean treaty of 1928. Flax was declared
absolute contrahand by Germany on
April is, as a retaliation against the
British contraband declaration.
Although p~recedents of international
law in recent years, supported p%articu-
larly by the declaration of London,
have recognized the right of a bellig.
erent to sink a neutral vessel carrying
contraband, il the ship was certain
of condemnation by a prize court, the
action has been limited to extreme
cases where the taking of a prize into
port would involve danger to the cap
turing vessel.

SIX BLAMED FOR DISASTER
coroner's Jury Recommends That
MansIaughter indictments Be Re-
turned.-Funerals For 200.

Chicago.-A %coroner's jury on July
% returned a verdict placing the
blame for the loss Of hundreds Of lives
by the capsizing Of the steamer East
land in the Chicago river on six men:
William Hull, general manager Of the
Chicago-St. Joseph Steamship Com
pany, owners of the Eastland; Capt.
Harry Petersen, Of the Eastland; ].
NJ. Erickson, engineer; Robert Reid,
federal inspector of steamships, who
gave the Eastland licensce to carry
$4,000 passengers on July 2; J.. c. Eek
lift, general inspector Of steamships;
w. X. Greenbaum, general manager OF
the Indiana Transportation Company,
Jesse Of the Eastland.
The jury recommended that these
men be held to a grand jury for indict-
ments on charges of m~anslaughter.
The jury found that the passengers
were not in any way to blame for the
capsizing of the ship. 1t recommends
further investigation by the coroner
and other officers to determine wheth-
er the men named and others may be
guilty Of negligence or Of contribut-
ing in any way to the cause Of the
disaster.
The six jurors selected by Coroner
Peter Hoffman to hold the inquest on
the victims of the Eastland are:
DR.. W. A. Evans, formerly health
commissioner; Col. Henry A. Allen,
consulting engineer; Harry MAR, no.
tel proprietor; ]. S. Keogh, coffee
merchant; Eugene Beifeld, hotel pro-
prietor; w. F. Bode, wholesale grocer.
The jury's verdict came after hours
Of deliberation, during which the evi.
dence of more than 100 witnesses, in
Guiding survivors and witnesses of the
disaster and the defendant officials
themselves, was heard.
Funerals of 200 victims of the East
land catastrophe were held July IS,
while the whole city vas in mourning
under an official proclamation by
Mayor Thompson.
A corps Of divers followed forty
motorboats with graphing hooks for
blocks down the river in an effort 10
find more bodies, but only two were
added to the 1923 victims previously
recovered. More may be found when
the Eastland is righted. Wreckers
here started putting the ship on ats
keel, but the operation will be diff
cult, 1t was said.

ENGLAND RECALLS NOTE
Message to the United States Elk.
planning the Order in Council
Will Be Written.

WasAlngton.-Ofhcials Of the State
Department believe the reason for
Great Britain's request to this country
on July q TO withhold from publica.
tisu her note just received, explaining
her orders in council and her an
pouncement that she is preparing a
more complete communication on the
subject, may be found mons the fol-
lowing:
First-Acceptance by Great Britain
Of the indirect warning by this govern
ment in its last note TO Germany that
Great Britain also would be held re-
| sponsible "at any cost" for disregard
Of the freedom Of the seas and the
rights Of Americans.
Second-Realization that Germany,
in her notes to the United States, has
offered concessions on the acute ques'
lions at issue, making Great BritainS
refusal to give in on any point con
spicuous by contrast. 1t Is, therefore,
thought possible that Great Britain
may now be prepared to offer some
| concessions.
Thtrd-Great Britain seeks delay
in the negotiations with the United
States in order to ascertain the attl-
tude of Germany toward the demands
Of this government, and to wait for
the final outcome of the issues be
tween the United States and Germany,
The view taken by officials OF he
department Is that the declaration
Of the United States In It's note 10
Germany that it Is prepared to con
tend for the freedom Of the seas, from
whatever quarter violated, was prob
ably strong enough to impress Great
Britain. It has been held invariably
by the State Department in the past
that the issues between the United
States and Germany were matters
purely between the two countries. In
fact, in the last note Germany was
told politely that the affair between
the United States and England was no
concern OF Germany.

BAD MASSACRE IN HAITI
1860 Political Prisoners Are Executed
in Revolution That Breaks Out at
Port au Prince.

Port au Prince, HAiti.-A revolution
more terrible in the toll thus far taken
than any ever in the days of Nord
Aleyis famed out In the Hattien cap
italSon July q 1t was an offshoot OF
the movement to the north, where the
adherents Of DR.. Rosalvo Bobo, twice
expelled from Haiti, for several months
have been striving to break the power
of the Hatien president, Gen. Vilbrun
Guillaume.
One hundred and sixty men, includ-
ing a former president of Haiti, Gen.
Orestes Zamor, have been executed by
order of Gen. Oscar, governor of Port
au Prince, who later in the day was
dragged from the shelter of the Do
minican legation and riddled with bull
let's.
President Guillaume and members Of
his family have taken refuge in the
French legation, an attack upon which
has been threatened. The presidential
palace has been partly destroyed after
an attack which lasted for hours, and
the revolutionists are in possession Of
the city.
How many persons have been shot
down in the streets and the govern
ment buildings cannot be learned, but
the exchanges between the loyal sup
porters of the president and the reb-
els were carried on with furious de-
termination on the one side and des-
peration on the other.
SO far as is known no foreigner has
suffered in the present rising.

Aberdeen, via London.-"They could
not have treated us more c~ourteously

Delk and the members of the crew Of

questioned regarding their encounter
with a German submarine. They trav-
eled about sixty miles on the deck Of
the submersible.
I'VE stopped when a shot was fired
behind us and then we had to leave"
said Capt. Delk. Our ship was shell.
ed, bombed and torpedoed. but it took
an hour and a half to sink her. The
Germans took us aboard the subma-
rine. carried us about 60 miles and
then gave us directions for getting to
Kirkwall, which we reached safely in
about II hours"

Wife Pleaded in Vain.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y,-Mrs. Charles

murder of Herman Rosenthal, pleaded
vainly here on the night Of July 20
with Gov. Whitman to commute her
husbands sentence to life imprison-
ment.
Weeping bitterly, but maintaining
such control that the governor later
remarked on her composure, Mrs.
Becker based her appeal solely OIL 1kr
belief in her husbands innocence.
There was no offer either by her or
John r. Johnson, one Of Becker's at
torneys, who accompanied her, to ex-
pose anything in exchange for the con-
victed mans life.
The conference between Mrs. Becker
and the governor lasted about fifteen
minutes. Mr.. Johnson and Maj. John

secretary. were present.

nize at this moment the indescribably
gallant efforts being made by our Rus
sian allies to stem the tide Of inva-
sion and to retain inviolate the intes-
rity OF their possessions.

tary history there has been a more
magnificent example of discipline and
endurance and OF both individual and
collective initiative than has been
shown by the Russian army in the last
seven weeks.
Our new allies--ftaly-are, with
carefully prepared movements, stead.
lily gaining ground, making their way
towards the objective which we be-
leve in a very short time will be with
in their reach"
The British fleet was today far
stronger, the premier continued. than
at the beginning of the war.
After ALL" said the premier, this
submarine menace, serious as 1t has
appeared to be, is not going to infict
fatal or substantial injury on British
trade. The seas are clear. We have
our supplies OF food and raw materi.
ais, upon which we and the rest of the
country depend, flowing upon us in
the same abundance and with the
same freedom; and | may say without
much exa%ggeration, Judging from the
insurance rates and other matters,

hazards and risks as in times OF
