TRAWLER PICKED UP
 146 OF SURVIVORS
Saw Many Dead Bodies That Were
 Horribly Mangled

Queenstown, May 9.-The captain of a trawler which arrived in the harbor soon after the accident with 146 sur vivors, mostly women and children, when reproached for not staying on the chance of picking up more sur vivors, said:
 There were many left in the water, but they were all dead and many so horribly mangled I thought it bet ter to bring ashore my boatload of suffering women, as they could not have stood much more."
 These women presented a pitiful sight as they wandered aimlessly about searching without hope for low ed ones who must have gone down with the ship.
 Relatives and friends of passengers who had zane in high spirits to Liver pool to meet the incoming ship be- gan to arrive here yesterday to search for the missing, but the small roll of survivors meant heartbreaking dis appointment for most of them. Among the number was William Crichton, a prominent business man of London and a former resident of Baltimore, who searched in vain among the sur vivors and in the morgues for a trace of his wife.

THOUGHT LUsITANIA
 WOULD REMAIN AFLOAT
Passengers Were Treasured by Some
 of the Officers.

Queenstown, May 9.-The heavy loss of life on the Lusitania was due, in the belief of rescued passengers, to the fact that some officers at least treasured them, after the rst torpedo struck home, that the Lusitania would remain af1oat and could make Queens town. Preparations, it is true, were made to launch the boats but before this could be done, a second torpedo hit the steamer and she listed so badly that the crew could only work the boats on one side of the ship.
 Another factor was the extreme con- fidence of the passengers themselves in the infallibility of the watertight compartments. According to a stew ard they would not believe, even after the second torpedo struck, that the ship would go down and realized their terrible position too late. Then it was that many jumped into the sea-a few to be picked up; the great majority to parish.
 Others. including many of the first class passengers, were in the cabin at the time and went down with the ship.
 The Lusitania was not in the Brit ish navy list for April among the mer- chant vessels commissioned as naval auxiliary craft and the officials of the Cunard company deny that she ever was used for that purpose.

English Wreck
 German Shops
FURY AROUSED BY SINKING OF
 THE LUSITANIA.
RIOTS IN LIVERPOOL
Contents of Several Shops Were Piled
 Unable to Cope with the Outbreak.

Liverpool. May 9, 1135 p. m.-The attacks upon German shops which began yesterday, were renewed to- night as the result of the fury arous- ed by the sinking of the Lusitania. Most of the rioters were women, many of them relatives of the sailors of the Cunard line. Several shops were wrecked and the contents piled in the streets and burned
 A Large Number of Arrests.
 A large number of arrests were made, although so many police have joined the army that the Liverpool force is now hardly able to cope with the outbreak.
 The torpedoing of the Cunard liner Lusitania reused i'll feeling against the Germans here to fever heat and a number of shops owned by Ger mans were wrecked today.
 Police Forced to Use Batons.
 Windows were broken and the con- tents of the stores were scattered about the streets. Fifty policemen were called out and made twenty ar rests, but the rioters were so violent in their efforts to rescue comrades that the police were forced to use ba- tons to quell the disturbance.

SURPRISED THAT CAPTAIN
 FOLLOWED REGULAR COURSE
Naval Officers Say Lusitania Was Instructed to Take Middle Channel.

Queenstown, May 9.-Queenstown was almost as much dazed by the tragedy as those aboard the Lusi- tania- The questions on every lip are: Why did Captain Turner pursue the usual well known Cunard Line course so close to the Irish coast at medium speed and why was not the big liner conyoyed?"
 Several naval officers here state that the Lusitania received wireless orders to take a course in the middle chan nel, but the ships wireless operator declines to say whether or not he re- ceived such orders.
 All day long morbid crowds sur rounded the temporary morgues where the bodies of 149 victims await ident- ffication. Although few have been identified, many bear evidence of hav- ing occupied the first class cabin. In striking contrast to most historic sea disasters, the rate of mortality among first class passengers seems to be heavier than among any other class on board. A large proportion of those saved are members of the crew, but this is not evidence of lack of dis cipline, as most of them were picked up from the water.

DIGGING GRAVES FOR
 THE UNKNOWN DEAD
Military Pomp Will Mark Public Flu
 neral at Queenstown.

Queenstown, May 10, 1.45 a. m.-This has been a day of the dead in Queens town. Most of the survivors of the Lusitania left for their homes. No survivors were added to the meagre list and the only figures augmented were those of the identified dead. No additional deaths were reported at the hospitals.
 While soldiers toiled in the grave yard of a church on the hill digging graves for the unknown dead who will be buried there tomorrow, groups of relatives and friends of the passengers went from morgue to morgue-some finding what they sought, others turn ing away to continue their search, with ebbing hope. The public funeral tomorrow which a repTesent ntative of the vieertT of ireland will attend will be too large for the ordinary facilities of Queenstown and Cork and trucks will be pressed into service to carry the coffins.
 The funeral which will be in charge of the general commanding the dis trict, will be marked by military pomp, such as is accorded those who die in the armed service of their country.

do twenty-five knots, outstripping even the fastest and latest submarines, hence it is the belief of survivors and Cunard line officials that a battery of underwater craft, numbering perhaps four or five, lay in wait in the clear sunshine of Friday, posted advantage ouSly along the route it was Surm1Sed the vessel would take. It was easy to keep all but the tips of the periscopes submerged. and then for the craft nearest her to let go torpedoes.
 The first train to arrive here yester- day morning carried attaches of the main Cunard line offices at Liverpool including Capt. William Dodd, the ma rine superintendent, and Dr. Duncan Morgan, the medical superintendent.
 Suffering from Wounds and Shock.
 The former busted himself with re- lieving the material wants of surviving passengers and crew and the identihca- ton of the dead, while the latter at tended the injured, several of whom were suffering from severe wounds and shock.
 Aid and Sympathy Extended.
 Every train for Kingstown and Rosslsre carried complement of sec- ond and third class passengers and memters of the crew. Most of the first cabin survivors, sadly few in number will remain here temporarily. The toWrSPeopIe have been generous in extending aid and sympathy to the survivors, none of whom was able tC save more than the clothes on S his , back. Many are dressed as they would have been if the disaster had occurred at nIght, for the explosion and the long struggle in the water virtually denude6 them.
 Captain Turner appeared yesterday morning in civilian clothing donated by a local banker who has extended the hosqi. ality of his home to the com mander. Later in the day he dressed in tne stained uniform which had beer dried end walked with bowed head down the streets, recognized by few among the crowds.

enough to develop a heroine in the personof Miss Kathleen Kaye, IA years old, who was returning from New York, where she had been visit ing relatives. With smiling words and reassurance she aided stewards in filling a boat with women and children. When all were in she climbed aboard the hfeboat as coolly as an able sea- man. One sailor tainted at his oar as the result of a hard race to escape swamping. The girl took his place and roWed until the boat was out of danger. None among the survivors bears as little sign of her terrible ex- periences as Miss Kaye, who spends most of her time comforting and as- sisting her sisters in misfortune.
 The dragging of lifeboats was ex- pIained by a number of passengers and members of the crew by the statement that the second torpedo severed several steampipes from the engines. The Lusitania had been sent full speed ahead when the first tor pedo was seen and it was impossible to stop her headway by reversing the engines when the necessity for low ering the boats was realized.

PUBLIC FUNERAL TO BE
 HELD AT QUEENSTOWN For Unidentified Dead, Among Whom Are Probably Several Americans.

Queenstown, May g., 7:30 D. m- Captains Miller and Cassell attaches of the American embassy in London, arrived here this afternoon and con- ferred with Consul Frost.
 Most of the survivors were 1eav- ing Queenstown today. There is lit tie hope here that additional sur vivors will be found. A tender cruis- ed about the scene of the disaster all last night but reported today that no bodies had been found. The search however, will be continued.
 Representatives of the Pearson fam fly today claimed the body of pr. F. s. Pearson. They also visited the morgues searching for the body of Mrs. Pearson, who is missing.
 The body identified as Frederick is that of c. J. Broderick, a Harvard geologist, who was on his way to Bel lief commission. His body had been mistakenly tagged in the morgue as that of the purser of the Lusitania
 Marine Superintendent Todd of the Cunard Line declared today that he had little hope that any survivors would turn up at isolated ports along the coast. He believed that the death list would remain at about the same as estimated. The only problem now was to identify some of the dead ir the morgues.
 A number of unidentified dead, in- cluding probably several Americans will be buried on Monday. The fun era1 will be public and there will be a military and naval escort

TALE OF CAPTAIN OF
 FIRST RESCUE BOAT
Scenes of Grief and Suffering Became
 Almost UnbearabIe.

Queenstown, May 9.-Captain David Murphy, of the trawler Stormcock was the first on the scene with a rescue
 boat His story follows:
 After first of all I gathered in a lifeboat 52 persons, most of them wo- men and children, and before I com pIeted my load I had twenty blessed youngsters aboard the old Stormcock. Several of them were without their mothers but all were taken in charge
 before we reached harbor by kindly women who forgot their own sorrows in ministering to others.
 "One old lady of 78 years had been in the water two hours, but was as on reaching our decks and when re- vived begged pitifully to be allowed
 to retain their lifebelts, as they were overmastered by the fear that the sub marine would return to complete its work of destruction. Several died aboard my boat, and the scenes of grief and suffering became almost un- bearable. The little Stormcock brought 150 persons to Queenstown" Master-at-arms Williams of the Lu- sitania is the proudest member of the
 remnant of the crew, for it was his keep eye which caught the flash of gold braid on Captain Turner's arm when the commander was about to throw up his hands after being in the water two hours and a half.
 Hope dies hard in the human heart and friends and relatives of the miss ing are running down rumorS that sev- eral boat loads of survivors have been landed in remote coves on the Irish coast while two schooners which took part in the work are said here to have sailed for Liverpool with a number of | rescued aboard.
 Although the passengers discussed
 submarines all the way over, few, if any, believed that the Lusitania would 1 be struck. They referred to the pos sibihty almost with levity.
 R. K Timmis. who talked with Cap tain Turner after landing, stated that the captain said bitterly: I've didn't have a chance. I knew that when l felt the torpedos' impact"
 MT. TiInInis added that the captain | told the helmsman and staff captain 1 on the bridge to save themselves, but Captain Turner remained at his post The staff captain was lost but the
 helmsman was saved.

WAS IN A LIFEBOAT
 WHICH CAPSIZED.
A Youthful New Yorker Tells of the
 Events Following Explosion.

Queenstown, May 9.-G D. Lane, a youthful but cool-headed second cab in passenger who was returning to Wakes from New York, was in a life boat which capsized by the davits as the Lusitania heeIed over
 T was on the B deck,' he said, when I saw the wake of the trpe- do. I hardly realized what it meant when the big ship seemed to stagger and almost immediately listed to star but stopped to help get children on the boat deck. The second cabin was a Veritable nursery. Many young sters must have been drowned, but I had the satisfaction of seeing one boat get away filled with women and the deck I saw another lifeboat with 8 vacant seat, which I took, as no one else was in sight. but we were too late. The Lusitania reeled, so sud- denly. our boat was swamped, but we rignted her again.
 I've witnessed the most horrible scene of human futility it is possible to imagine. When the Lusitania had turned almost over she suddenly plunged bow foremost into the water, leaving her stern high in the air. Peo- pie on the aft deck were fighting with wild desperation to retain a foothold on the aln7pst perpendicular deck while they fell Over the slippery stern like crippled flies. Their cries and shrieks could be heard above the hiss of escaping steam and the crash of bursting boilers. Then the water mercifulIy closed over them and the big liner disappeared, leaving scarce ly a ripple behind her.
 Twelve lifeboats were all that were left of our floating home. In a time which could be measured by sec onds, swimmers, bodies and wreckage appeared on the space where she went down. We were almost exhausted by the work of rescue when taken aboard traw1er It all seems like a horri- ble dream now"

In the fighting that is in progress along it's battle lines in Belgium and France and in Russia and in the Car pathians both the triple entente and Teuton1c allies claim successes at va riOus isolated spots. None of them however, except possibly Austria and Germany. record successes on a great scale. Even the statements of the Teutonic allies are reiterations of the reports past that the Russians con- inue to be pressed back in the Galicias and the Carpathians and that Hungary is free of enemy forces.
 Petrograd noes not deny the gains claimed by the Teutons, but declares that the Russians are fighting back hard at certain points and that the attacks of the Teutons, while un- diminished in vigor. are becoming less frequent.
 On the western line Berlin declares that the Germans have driven the all lies out of strongly fortified positions near Ypres and that they have cap tured several villages in Flanders. Sir John French, the British commander n-chief, takes issue with this state ment and says all Germany's attacks have been repuIsed with heavy losses and that the British line is firmly es- tablished. A repulse Of the Germans near Nieuport, the capture of lines of trenches over a front 1-3 miles near Carency and the taking of a front of about 1-2 miles in width farther east are chronicled by Paris.
 Newspaper despatches, Switzerland to Paris, report Austrians and Ger mans fleeing from all parts of Italy. A Geneva despatch asserts that six hundre dthousand Italians have been concentrated at Verona, 25 miles from the Austro- Hungarian frontier.
 The Japanese government has an nounced that all naval and military movements begun in connection with her demands on China have been can celled.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE
 OF A TEXAS MAN
Was in Water For Nearly Three Hours, Clinging to Various Objects.

f10urSy Siln9in9 10 NaFlouS OpIeCCS-
 Queenstown, May 9.-The most remarkable escape was that of R. J. Timmis of Gainesville Texas, who was returning to England for his yearly visit, accompanied by his chum, R. T. Noodle, also of Gaines vile.
 Both men gave their life belts to steerage women just as the Lusitania sank Timnis, who is a strong swim mer remained in the water, clinging to various objects for nearly three hours. Then he was taken into a boat which he still had the strength to assist in rowing.
 The boat began picking up from the water all those showing signs of life and the first person rescued was the half unconscious steerage woman to who Timmis had given his lef belt. Noodle sank when the ship went under, and although he was good swimmer, he was not seen again. Noodle was ready to jump when Tim mis, who previously had given his belt to woman. said: There is a steerage woman with a six months old baby. Noodle stripped off his belt. Apparently both he and the woman had persihed."

PASSENGERS TELL OF
 LIFEBOAT INADEQUACY
Assert That Only of 34 Lifeboats
 Were Successfully Launched.

Queenstown, May 9-The stories of lifeboat inadequacy grow as the pas sengers are able to take a cooler view of the disaster. A number of the sur vivors maintain that only five out oi the thirty-four Hfeboats which were swung out were successfully launched Others assert that a general order for lowering the boats was not given until the second torpedo struck home. Yet all admit as many passengers as pos sible obtained seats in such boats as were launched
 by one boat alone and siXty-four were found packedinanother. The collaps- ible boats proved surprisingly efficient as unexpected havens for many strug- gling in the water. probably saving more lives than the regular nftboats

 Tn the Champagne we repulsed an attack near St. Thomas, on the edge of the Argonne forest. At Bagatelle we were able to verify the extent of the losses sustained by the enemy in yesterdays attack The Germans had bombs and burning fluids.
 On the rest of the front, notably in the forest of Le Pretre and at Silla- kerwasen, artillery engagements took place.
