LUSITANIA DEATH
 LIST ABOUT 1900

LONDON, (Sunday), May 9. -Of those who left New York a week ago on the Lusitania less than 700 survived after the vessel was tOrpedoed and sunk i by German submarines off Kin sale, Ireland, Friday afternoon.
 A full list of the survivors, who include very few first class pass engers is not yet avilable, but ! probably there are not many names to add to those already made public.
 All evidence goes to show that the first class and many second class passengers had. such con fdence in the ability of the Lusi- tania, because of her watertight compartments, to remain ahOat, that after she received the first blow they did not concern them selves about taking to the boats or even providing themselves with life preservers.. When the passengers did realize the Lusi- tania was doomed they found most of the boats on the port side so jammed because of the great list of the vessel that they could not be lowered. The last seen of them by the more for tunate passengers they were lined along the sloping decks awaiting their fate, doubtless even then be- lieving with the land so close they would be. saved.
 69 Are Safe.
 WASHINGTON, May s.. Late today the state department advices accounted for the safety of sixty-nine of the 188 Ameri- cans aboard the Lusitania, but this does not include the three unidentified bodies thought to be those of Americans.
 Insurance on Vessel.
 NEW YORK, May 8.-In- surance on the Lusitania is said to be $7, 7,5OO,OOO. The vessel was valued at $1O,OOO,OOO and the cargo at $735,OOO.
 The Lusitania carried 250 bags of mail, but there was no specie on the manifest. The largest single item listed was cartridges and ammunition" 4,200 cases, valued at $152, 400, consigned to London.
 Hundreds of telegrams reached the Cunard office today inquiring regarding the survivors Of the Lusitania. Every clerk in the employ of the company except ing those engaged in compiling lists of passengers were put at work answering the inquiries, most of which were concerning second cabin and steerage pass engers. F. P. Garkell, in charge of eastbound freight, denied the report that there had been picric acid on board. Gaskell said that there were no explosives or am munition aboard.
 Stone Missing.
 NEW YORK, May 8.-Her- bert Stuart Stone, the elder son of Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press was a passenger on the Lusitania and is unaccounted for.
 Brings 100 Bodies.

 Intense Feeling.
 LONDON, (Sunday), May 9. Because of the resentment against Germany, German trades men are being boycotted in the large shipbuilding plant at Wall send. The workmen threatened to strike unless the employees with German names were dis charged. Their demand was granted but there were no dis orders.

GRAND TONIGHT.
Edward Pepls's Novel Romance, "TEe
Love Route" Latest Famous
Players Feature.

The famous romance Of the ranch
and the railroad, The Love Route"
by Edward Peple (author OF the cur
rent comedy triumph, "A Pair Of
sixes"). is the latest Famous Players
Film Company's four.part feature on
the Paramount Program, the present
attraction at the Grand tonight.
Among the many striking efects
introduced in this subject Is the &C
tual construction Of a railroad. from
the first spade dug in the ground to
the laying OF the last tie, and the final
running Of the mammoth engine over
the newly-laid line. distinct novelty
in motion pictures. The main charac-
tiers in the play are a railroad civil
engineer and a young woman, the
owner Of the ranch through which the
new railroad Is to pass, which she tries
10 prevent even at the points OF the
revolvers OF her cowboys. These two
characters, when they meet, bring
forth clash Of will under circum-
stances rarely seen on the screen.
The fact that they had previously low
ed each other dearly adds to the inter
est Of the plot. To the very end she
tights, and ultimately triumphs, but
she eventually awakens to the great
ness Of her love for the engineer after
he is shot by one OF her men. and Is
herself responsible for the completion
Of the line within the required time
limit granted the railroad company.
Produced in California. the camera
has clearly defined the beauties OF that
wonderland. The situations calling
for the united action Of the cowboys
and the railroad workmen, and the
scenes in which these TWO elements
meet in battle, display to the utmost
the craft Of the screen director.
The carefully selected cast includes
Harold Lockwood, Winifred Kingston
and Donald Crisp.

CANAL EMPLOYEES
ARE ORGANIZING
They Seek To Procure Bet

Conditions.

y. PANAMA, July 29.-The gold en-
ployes of the Panama Canal have
about completed an organization for
the purpose Of looking after their IN
4a1asts in Washington and on the
.isthmus relative to conditions OF en-
ployment and other matters. One OF
the chief objects will be TO look after
measures to be brought before Con-
gress regarding longevity pay.
The organization has not yet been
given name, but it probably will be
known as the Panama Canal Employees
Association. A large fund has been
subscribed to pay the expenses OF a
committee recently sent to Washing
ton to obtain the resembling OF an ex-
ecudye order under which rent was
being charged for quarters on the
zone. This committee was successful.
This success was the direct cause
of the new organization since II dem

what could be done If an organized
EFFORT is made. The new association
purposes to have prepared and pre-
scented in Congress measure provid-
ing for suitable reward for the civilian
canal employees just as the various
army and navy officers have been re-
warded.
The employees will contend that this
reward should be in the shape Of long
evity pay so that those who have been
on the fsthmus for a certain number
Of years will be given a yearly in
crease in salary. This is to include all
employees whether members OF unions
or not. It is likely that TO this bill
a pension system will be appended.
The association already has gath
cred fund OF about $4,000 from as
easements made upon all the employees
practically all Of whom already have
Joined and have paid at least por-
ton Of their assessments. A weekly
paper will be started which will be
distributed to all the employees and
also to many government officials in
Washington as well as TO every mem

to accomplish its object the associa-
ton will establish Offices in Washing
