SCORES DROWNED /. AS TORPEDO HITS
 FRENCH STEAMER
Austrian Submarine Attacks Boat Under Govern Tnent Acquisition Many of Passengers and Crew Perish as Warship Begins Gunire After Torpedo Attack.

Paris, Oct. 1s.-Seventy-one persons lost their lives when the French steam ship Amiral-Hamelin was torpedoed and sunk by a submarine. A despatch to the Havas Agency from Marsetlles which brings this news does not spec fly whether the victims were passen- gers or mem bers of the crew.
 A Paris despatch. sent early Sunday morning said that the steamer f1spahan had arrived at MarseillesI from Mada- agscar, having on board Captain Gui- bert and the crew of the steamship ''AdmiraI' which was recently sunk by a submarine. Probably this is the same vessel referred to in the more recent despatch from Marseilles.4 It is not stated when or where the steamer was sunk.
 The Annira1-Hameli was a vessel of 5!037 tons gross, built in 1902. She was 387 feet long and 4s feet beam. Her owners. were Chargeurs Reunts A-Pa- ris of Havre.
 The Marseilles correspondent of the Petit Journal te1egra phs that the mail boat Eugene Pareire has arrived there

with Ss members of the crew of the French steamship ArniraI-HameIi lin, which was sunk by a submarine A previous report from theh Havas cor respondent said that Il persons aboard the steamer lost their lives.
 The Amiral-Hamelin was under gov ernment requisitfon. According to the Petit Journals correspondent she was torpedoed tby an Austrian submarine without notice and while passengers and crew were being transferred to the boats the submarine bonn nbarded the steamer which was struck by forty shells. The captain of the submarine asserted as Justification of <his attack that the steamer was armed but this is denied by the correspondent.
 Six of the crew were wounded by the boInbardment. The sound of firing drew French torpedo bat and an EnglisI hospital ship to the spot and the wounded and many fugitives were taken aboard by these vessels.
 The submarine fled at their approach after firing two torpedoes into the Am iral and sinking her.

 Residents in the vicinity of Lafay- cite and Gilbert streets are terrified by the recent activities of footpads who operate with bIackjacks upon belated pedestrians. Several minor attacks upon pedestrians who had innbibed too freely culminated Saturday night into an attack upon an unknown man which aroused the entire neighborhood residents from their sleep at 2 a. m.
 A lonely person, who said he was a stranger in town, had wandered up State street. In front of the Sea, Side club he was accosted by two we'll ap- bearing men to whom he confded that ssthe town was too slow, Upon being informed that they would show him the white lights he followed them to the rear of a. house on Gilbert street, where one of them struck him with a sblackjack- The blow was not strong enough to subdue him, with the result that his cries for mercy and help were heard as far as Main street. His as- sailants sealed a high fence and made their escape. To neighbors who rusfled to his aid, the man. said that he had considerable money on his person. When the police arrived the assailants were gone The attack was made when the policeman on the beat was farthestsa tsaWay from the scene.
