years and was a friend Of ms flrst wife
and was often a visitor at his home. Il
was at this time, the widow AYERS, that
Luyties first became attentive. but that
he was spurned until the wife secured
a divorce three years ago
Shortly after that. according to ac-
counts, Mrs, Gowdy went to the coast
and was followed by Luyties. Al that
time. the widow says. she was being
courted by q rich Californian, but that
Luyties was so persistent IN his atteu-
tons and made SO many promises that
she Tilted her coast admirer.

teTmiued definitely whether any Amer
leans are among the dead. DR.. Edmond
f. Wood Of GAINESVILLE, Wis, and Mrs,
josephine J.. Brugiere, an American,
who had lived in Europe Tor some
years, are missing.
The White Star announced this
morning that all but eight OF the pas
seGgers had been landed at Queens
town. Four OF these were said to be
Americans. According to information
cabled to Washington by Lewis c..
Thompson. American consul al
Queenstown however, Dr.. Wood and
Mrs Brugiere are the only missing
Americans. The other two-James
HouHhan of Philadelphia and Thomas
EImore of New Tork-were reported
by Mr.. Thompson to have been saved.
Iu all about 400 OF the 423 persons
on board the Arabic have been ac-
counted for The fate OF the others is
still in doubt, bat as the hours length
en- since the Arabic met with swift de
structIou hopes that the others may
have been saved are fading.
Host OF Missing Grew Members.
The announcement that ali but eight
Of the passengers were saved bore out
earlier reports that the great majority
of the missing were members of the
crew. Captain William Finch of the
Arabic gave testimony to the heroism
of his engineers and fremeH, several
OF whom remained at their posts to
the last to insure the safety of the
passengers, and probably sacrificed
their lives Other survivors say that
the torpedo which rent the ArabiC'a
hull killed outright several men in the
boiler rooms. The torpedo struck on
the starboard side about one hundred
feet from the stern near the location
OF the boiler rooms.
The torpedoing of the Arabic has
stirred England from end to end, al
though on account of the comparative
Is small loss of life public feeling does
not show signs of running as high as
in the days Of the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania. That such q large proportion Of
the passengers and crew should have
ben saved in the short time available
for the work Of rescue is regarded as
better fortune than might have been
expected under the circumstances.
Fine Weather Is Aid.
Apparently it was due to the C0olness

from Captain Finch, who remained at
his post until just before the Arabic
took her final plunge, down to the fire.

duty. Fine weather and calm sea
