CLAIM ANCONA, WARNED. FLED

Berlin (by wireless to Sayville).
Nov. 16.-The AustroHungaran ad-
miralty has officially announced that
the Italian steamship Ancona attempt.
ed to escape at full speed after
warning shot had been fired across
her bows and that the vessel only
stopped after being shelled several
times by an Austrian submarine, says
the Overseas News agency.
The statement says
The submarine fired one shot in
front of the Anconas prov, where
upon the vessel flew at full speed in
accordance with the order issued by
the Italian authorities, which instructs
ship commanders to flee or to sink
the submarine. The submarine pur.
sued the steamer and continued firing.
but the vessel stopped only after be.
ing hit several times.
Given As Minutes to Escape.
"The submarine allowed 45 minutes
for the passengers and crew to aban-
don the steamer on board of which
panic reigned, but only a small mum.
ber of boats were lowered and these
were occupied principally by the crew.
"A great number of boats, prob.
ably sufficient to save all the passen.
gers, remained unoccupied.
After a period of so minutes and
as another steamer was approaching
the submarine submerged and torpe-
doed the Ancona, which sank after an
additional 45 minutes.
Deaths Due to Crows Fault.
IF any Of the passengers lost their
lives this was due to the fault of the
crew because the steamer tried to
escape after it had received orders to
stop and then the crew only saved
themselves and not the passengers.
Reports published in the foreign
press that the submarine fired on the
Ancona's lifeboats are mendacious in
ventions. When the steamer stopped
the submarine ceased firing"

submarine off the 1unisian coast.
only one was saved, according to a
ststement issued by the Italian en,i.
grafton office.
The statement also says that out Of

coma only 299 were saved.
Washington, Nov 16.-The charga
made by the Austrian authorities that
the crew Of the Italian liner Ancona.
was negligent and that the passengers
might have been saved, but for the
panic, has introduced new phase into
the submarine controversy.
The Austrian statement with refer.
ence to the Ancona makes it appear
that the vessel after being halted did
not put her passengers off in the
boats in the IS minutes time given
for the purpose. The appearance of
another ship is given as the reason
for torpedoing the vessel at the end
Of that period.
What Time Considered Ample?
Although the United States has in.
sisted that vessels carrying non-com-
batants be not sunk without warning.
no case has as yet developed the view
OF the Washington government as to
what time is considered ample for the
purpose beyond the general statement
that all passengers should be removed
to place Of safety as provided in
the declaration of London
Conflicting reports in the press
concerning the sinking of the Ancona

Austria Admits Responsibility.
Secretary Lansing read without
comment dispatches rurporting to
give the official views of the Italian
and Austrian governments, the for
mer claiming the Ancona was torpe-
doed by German submarine, while
her boats were being lowered, and the
latter admitting that an Austrian
submarine was responsible but de.
claring that ample time was given
passengers and crew to escape.
Until the embassies at Rome and
Vienna cable definite information the
American government will be unable
to take any steps automatically.

and 1ver M. Brandjord of Brand
jord of Roman, Miss Caroline E.
Rich, principal of the, Arlee
school, but who was the pioneer
teacher at Leon, Miss Phoebe
Finley, now principal of the Leon
school, George H. Beckwith,
trustee, of St. Ignatius, and A..
W. Nelson, editor of the St. Ig-
natius Post, each of whom gave
short talks. The Roman orators
being taken entirely by surprise
complain of being made goats of
before the public, but have no
cause for grievance-such being
the penalty of having a ready
tongue. Of the impromptu
speeches special mention should
be made of the talk by Mr..
Brandjord. He surprised his
Roman friends by the remark
able address he gave, and they
full we'll know that he is capable
in such things but did not be-
lieve him so thoroughly COM
petent as he really is. His
speech was as good as those who
had been given advance notice
and some whispered that it was
still better.
The last speaker was DR.. Les
lie J. Ayers of the school of law,
OF the university. His talk was
especially we'll received, and left
in the minds of all who heard
him many things to think about.
His advice should be taken and
his thoughts upon the matters
discussed given serious consider
alton.
After the speaking everybody
joined in the dance which was to
conclude the evening celebration.
The Leon school building, as
it will probably be more locally
known, is splendid monument
to the enterprise of the people
living in that vicinity. 1t is a
two story building 32x6O feet,
with basement. and is so ar
ranged that it can be made into
four rooms, or with the doors
opened made into two rooms.
The basement is used for kit
chen and banquet hall, or as a
laboratory and manual training
rooms. The upper floor is used
as two school rooms, and as a
large assembly or dance hall.
Everything considered, the
people of Leon are entitled to
much credit for the enterprise
shown in bringing to a success
ful termination the completion
IF such a building. The Pioneer
can not say that any one man is
entitled to more credit than an
other, for the reason that all
nave been earnest and faithful
n bringing about the fulfllment
# this worthy enterprise.
May there be many more To-
:alities in this big district which
Will emulate the excellent ex-
ample set them by Leon.

EQUITY BUILDING

The promoters of the Farmers
Equity building at Leon covered
themselves with glory last Sat-
urday evening when they dedi-
Gated the handsome large build
ing which has been under con-
structlon since early in the fall.
1t was a large concourse of peo-
pie who assembled in the spacious
rooms to be present at the time
the building was formally dedi-
Gated to the purposes for which
it was built, and not one re-
GREETED being there.
All day long Mrs. G. J. Haid
and her corps Of assistants were
busy preparing the banquet
which was served as the first
number on the program. Long
tables were placed in the base
ment and it was thought that
everybody could be seated at the
same time, but too many came
and it required a second sitting
to accommodate the people. It
was stated that 240 people were
fed, and each one of that large
number must have voiced the
sentiment that they were we'll
fed, as the banquet was excel
lent and demonstrated that the
committee had chosen we'll when
Mrs. Haid was selected to super
intend the preparation thereof.
The hour was advertised as z
O'Clock when the program would
commence, but it was past that
hour when the guests were sum-
moned to the banquet hall. Sup
erintendent S. R. Logan of dis
trict No. 28, public schools, was
POSTMASTER, and after those
seated at the tables had eaten all
they could hold, he opened the
speaking portion of the program
by introducing M. H. Loewen-

address of welcome in an elo-
