and about 1,40O from the hydrant on
Harpswell street. They then attacked
the fire from both sides and confined
it to the 200 acres mentioned.
Residences Of George Preston, John
Wilson, Leonard Bickford, John Call,
Arthur Bishop. Durham Berry, Louis
Label and Professor Lewis Baker,

OPENED TODAY

Portland, Me-, June Given as great

the Maine State Exposition has reach
ed the stage of completion from an in
significant beginning a mere sugges-
ton scarcely more than two months
ago. An office was established at 534
Congress street, April s, and an exec
utive committee was organized to CO.
operate with the office staff. The ma
chine has not been in low gear since it
started. There wasn't time enough to
shift gears or patch punctured tires.
It has been both an endurance run and
a sprint, but the race is over now and
the entry a winner.
Monday is the day toward which the
energy and persistency of preparation
has been directed in the last go days.
To all intents and purposes the show
will be ready for visitors early in the
day and it will continue to wear the
word welcome on the doorway for two
solid weeks.

GREAT BRITAIN
SAYS LUS|TAN|A
WAS NOT ARMED

Washington, June 6.-Sir Cecil
Spring-Ricc, the British ambassador
here, has transmitted note from the
British government solemnly assuring
the United States that the Lusitania
was not armed.
This assurance conforms with the
investigation conducted by American
officials before the ship was given
clearance from the port Of New York
by Collector Dudley F. Malone.
Affidavits claiming that Gustav Stable
saw guns mounted on the Lusitania are
still under investigation by the depart
ment of justice, but officials declare no
evidence had been adduced to prove the
statements made in the affidavits.
Would Prosecute Stable
Officials of the department Saturday
said that if Stable is located and found
guilty of making false sworn state
ment he will be prosecuted for perjury.
Officials admitted that it might be
extremely difficult to establish legal
verdict against Stable, unless it can
be shown that there was a monetary
consideration connected with his &C
ton.

TRANSPORTS
TO BRING BACK THE
REFUGEES IN MEXICO

Washington, June 6.-The army
transports Buford and Fitzpatrick, now
at Galveston, will be sent to Vera Cruz
to bring back American and other for
eign refugees reaching that port from
Mexico City on the trains now being
arranged.
Under British auspices efforts will be
made early this week to take parties
of foreigners by horseback and auto
mobiles from Mexico City to Pachuca,
from which place there is railroad COM
munication with Vera Cruz.
The American Red Cross will dis
patch next Thursday a shipment of
medical supplies to the American.
Spanish and French hospitals in Mex
leo City via Vera Cruz and send two
more carloads Of relief supplies to Mon
terey.
Arnold Shankiin, cOnsul-general at
Mexico City, now awaiting orders at
Vera Cruz. probably will take COM
mand Of the American refugee situa-
ton at the capital and supervision of
the distribution Of relief supplies. 1t Is
doubtful if S. P. Morris, acting nation
al director Of the Red Cross, will go
to Mexico City as he had previously
planned.
In it's summary Saturday the Red
Cross said:
"In the last few days about 5000
people, many Of whom are destitute,
have arrived at Laredo, Texas, from
Monterey, as the result of an order
published by the governor of Monterey,
Gen. Daviila, which provided that all
civilians who wished to go to the bor-
der would be furnished free transporta-
ton. This information comes in a tel
egram from Gen. Evans, at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas.
"The Railroad between Nuevo Lare-
do, Mex, and Monterey was opened
May 81, according to Gen. Evans dis
patch, and since then trains have been
running very irreguiarly. One train
took three days coming from Monterey.
The order Of Gov. Davilla was good for
five days only. The Mexican authori-
ties turned the refugees over to the
American side for care, but the i'm
migration authorities had to turn back
about 80 per cent. Of them: a.

DECLARE GERMAN SPY LEADER
HAS EQUIPMENT TO MANUFACTURE
FRAUDULENT AMERICAN PASSPORTS

London. June 6.-Captain Won Pref
ger Of the German admiralty office.
who is head Of the German spy sys-
tenn at Berlin, has perfect equip
ment for manufacturing fraudulent
American passports. according to a
startling confession made by Robert
Rosenthal, now under arrest on a
charge Of espionage. Rosenthal's
confession was made to the military
authorities in London. 1t Is the first
definite confirmation of a suspicion
held here that fraudulent American
passports actually had been issued by
someone acting under the authority
Of the German government.
The confession leaves no room for
doubt regarding the accuracy Of the
information. His explanation Is
thoroughly definite and detailed in all
facts. The information thus placed IN
the hands of the military authorities
has been communicated to the Ameri-
can embassy and already has been
transmitted to Washington.

Rosenthalb confession will be noted
by the representatives Of the stats de-
partment. officials here have not yet
seen the full text Of his confession, but
1t IL expected that It will b forward
ed by Ambassador Page at London. It
Is thought more than possible that
some Of his statements will furnish .
basis for investigation by the United
States government. It may DO said.
however. that under no circumstances
will the United States take up tho
matter with Germany until 1t has been
conclusively established that German
officials have been guilty Of the fab
rication Of American passports. ~
Rosenthal il reported to allege.
All the cases that have been called
to the attention Of the state depart
ment since the war began have been
cases Of false pretence and not Of the
fabrication Of passports. Many per-
sons Of German sympathies have been
found to have obtained American pass
ments, while others, as Kupeferle. the
confessed spy who hanged himself In
London. obtained a passport to which
he was entitled, for improper purposes.
There have been very few cases all
told and all that have occurred have
become matters Of public knowledge.
The most striking case occurred in
New York. where several persons were
prosecuted for having attempted to de-
fraud the United States government.
The matter is regarded as a vital one,
as the more frauds that are practiced
against the United States in regard to
passports, the less value Is likely to be
attached to American passports in 9TH
er countries. The state department and
the department Of justice have there
fore spared no effort to run down and
punish all those against whom there
has been evidence Of fraud.
At the German embassy Saturday
night, 1t was declared that the embas-
sy had no knowledge whatever Of Ros-
enthal or his confession, and that it
could not comment on his charges. 1t
was indicated, however, that the en-
bassy is inclined to treat the charges
as too absurd to merit consideration.
