 John D. Williams, his business man ager, Edward Sheldon and Paul Pot ter the p1aywrights, went to the pier to see MT. Frohnan off. MT. Williams said yesterday that MT. F'rohnan's s refusal to be deterred by warnings when he had once made up his mind to do a thing was characteristic of his career. His life, MT. Williams said, was full of hazards taken and brought to a successful conclusion until this fatal one.

It was said the ex- tensfve nature of the firms activi- ties made it imperative that they be carried on without cessation, and that the theatres would remain open, as Mir.

 Many cable messages were sent to Mir. F'roIlrnan's London representative but no answer came in the day.

PASSENGERS CALM FACING DEATH
ENPERTS BEL IEVE
 SUBMARINES HAVE
 SECRET WAR BASE

f
 yTashIng-tOn. May 10.-Much conf 6aenia1 information has reached here Df late as to the operations of german rubin astnes and their bases of action. one base for six power fuI ssu pnaarines Is said to be situated off Cape FInis- tarre. the rocky projection at the northwest shoulder, of Spain That point commands a great sweep Of the Atlantic leading to and from England and Trench ports. But it is said so servs mainly for watcnson the Brit ish trade route running south along Inc coast of Spain to the ATea aiteran- cam this. being the great British high way of commerce with East India via the suez Canal. The base off Cape Finlsterre is thought to be too far hcuth to have been the one from which the submarine dashed to launch it's torpedoes against the Lusftaria
 Another base is thought to be in or about Bear Haven,s in Bantry Bay, at the southwest extr entity of Ireland, 50 miles due west of the zone Of the sinking of the Isusitania. The Irish coast at that point is wild and ragged. with deep and deso1ate bays and cov- CTS affording unusual opportunities for hostile craft to escape the vtgi- lance of British destroyers.
 Before tn war. German ships were in the habit of carrying on naaneuvers in these bays, until the British gov ernment put a. stip to it. There is little doubt that during these maneuv- CTS opportunity was afforded for charting the locality and estab1ishing a prospective base for use in war.
 Bear Haven is an isolated point far away from railways, with Bear Island and a vroup of smaller islands adding to the natural defensive character Of the locality for the secretlve opera tons of submarines.

Cork. May 10 From the day we sailed we compIacently spoke of the possibilities of the German menace, but no one believed it. for we scorn- ed the idea of being torpedoed. said F. J.

 A number of us were going over on business It was shortly after D. probably ten minutes past-and was lingering in the dining saloon chat ting with my friends, when the first explosion occurred. We knew at once what had happened.
 Shortly the ship listed perceptibIy. ! shouted to the others to close the ports Some of us went to our berths and put on Hfebe1ts
 ssOn making our way to the deck we were informed that there was no danger, and we need not be alarmed, but the ship was gradually sinking deeper into the water and efforts were made to launch the boats.
 Fifty or more people entered the first boat, and as 1t swung from the

A crowd of men clambered in, nearly sWanping it again. Nobody had a knife, but found a hatchet and cut the boat clear. We were about 200 yards away when the Lusitania sank The shrieks of the people as they were drawn down by the suction was ap- paIling We had to pull away as hard as we could to get away and not be drawn under. We saved as
 many as we could, our boat being crowded. to capacity. The ship sim ply sank like a. stone at the finish, her entire bottom being literally torn tout by the various explosions. The scene at the end was terrifying. AL though many of the passengers had adjusted their life belts they were drawn down like stones by the terrible suction of so large a steamer. a
 Mothers with their babies still elasped in their arms in death were found by the fishing fleet which final l 1y rescued us. They had been un- able to get on board the boats in time and they drowned when drawn under the surface by the underdrag of the vessel,

Queenstown, May 1o.-One of the most connected and thrilling stories of the Lusitania tragedy was related here this afternoon by El1ason Myers, of Stratford, Ontario, who was en route to join the British navy as a cadet \

DISTRICT MOURNs LOSS
 DE TWO IMPORTANT PERSONACES

New York, May I8-Expressions of sorrow are heard on all sides in the theatre district over the fate of Charles Frohman. for the veteran manager was held in the highest es- teem. not only by those who came in daily contact with him, but by hum dreda of men and women Of the stage to whom Mir FroE1man was merely a name to conjure with in their profes- sion

 Lady Mackworth said that while there certainly was some confusion aboard the Lusitania she thought the officers and crew acted brave1y She was unable to understand, however, why they kept shouting that there was no need for haste as the ship would not sink, when it obviously was impossible for it to keep af1oat many more minutes.

NEW YORK GIRL OF A
 LUSFTANIA HEROINE


 Queenstown. May 10--The brief time elapsing between the torpedoing and sinking of the Lusitania, was enough to develop a heroine in the person of Miss Kathleen Kaye, fl years old, who was returning from New Y York, where she had been visiting relatives.
 With smiling words and reassur- ances she aided stewards in filling a boat with women and children. When all were in she climbed aboard the lffeboat as cooly as an able seama D. One sailor tainted at his oar as a re- suit of a hard race to escape swamp ing. The girl took his place and roWed until the boat was out of dan ger.
 None among the survivors bears as little sign of her terrible experiences as Miss Kaye, who spends most of her time comforting and assisting her sis ters in misfortune.

the artist, the greatest compliment |
could have had" Curiously enough,
the model who sat for the ruined
gamester was rather fond of cards
himself. One day the artist noticed
that he looked somewhat depressed.
What is the matter?" he asked. II

answered by Jovc.' replied the art
list, jumping up with delight, I've got

And that is how the picture got its
