WASHINGTON, Sept. The nearest
approach to positive evidence that the
Allan liner Hesperian was torpedoed was
received at the State Department to-day
in the form OF an affidavit given to
Consul Frost at Queenstown by Cap.
Main of the Hesperian and three oni-
cers.
In their affidavit. signed jointly by the
four, the officers asserted among other
things hat pieces OF metal fell on the
decks Immediately after the explosion
which wrecked the bow OF the Hes
perian that these fragments were pre-
served and prove 'indubltabiy'' that the
vessel was struck by a torpedo.
Nevertheless. so keenly does the Ad-
ministration feel the necessity for eau
ton In reaching conclusions about a
matter affecting so vitality the relations
between this country and Germany that
the State Department does not accept
this affidavit as conclusive proof that
the Hesperian was torpedoed. Further
investigation is desired by the Depart
ment n will be made by its agents be-
fore officials permit themselves TO ac-
cept finally the belief that the liner
was torpedoed. Ambassador Page and
Consul Frost have been instructed to
continue their efforts to determine be-
yond a shadow of a doubt whether or
not 1t was a torpedo which caused the
destruction OF the Hesperian.
The natural reluctance Of the Admin
istration to believe that the German
Government or It's naval commander
would ruthlessly violate the pledge given
by Ambassador Bernstorff last week is
REINFORCED by the earnest hope OF Of
fcials that no further incident be de-
veloped to impede what n few days ago
seemed to be the rapid progress " the
submarine controversy toward a settle
ment.
CONFIDENT Germany IL sincere.
The Administration is convinced that
Germany Is sincerely seeking to end the
difficulties between the two Govern
ments. Consequently, only upon the
most positive proof will the United
States take any action on the basis OF
the conclusion that the Hesperiad was
torpedoed n that a German subma-
rlne commander was guilty or an act
which this Government has been given
to understand WIS contrary to orders.
The belief prevails here that even II
the State Department should be satisfied
that tae Hesperian was ~torpedoed moth
ing will be lone here beyond calling
upon the German Government for a
statement in the matter. This action. II
taken. will insure a delay of at least a
week. and probably two.
The affidavit OF Capt. Main and the
other officers OF the Hesper!an sets forth
that at 80 last Saturday night. when
the ship received her fatal wound, dark
ness was fast closing In. They assert
positively tnat no submarine had been
sighted up to that time-thus disposing
OF the story OF some passengers \
assert that an undersea boat had been
seen some hours previous and that the
Hesperian a been pursuing since that
time a zigzag course until hit. They as
sert. also. that no wake OF a torpedo
was seen. n express the opinion that
II was too dark for 1t to have been seen
from the vessel.

These questions led to an inquiry
az to Mrs. Geddes' standing in the
Mormon church, which brought a
lively tilt between the attorneys and
finally resulted in a ruling by Judge
James A. Howell, the presiding Judge,
that the evidence along that line
should be stricken out, as the court
