INQUIRY INTO SINKING
OF STEAMER LUSITANIA.
Fifty Survivors Attended Opening Ses-
sion at London Yesterday.

London, June Is, $40 p. m.-Fifty
survivors of the Lusitania disaster, to-
gether with relatives of passengers
who lost their lives, and a force of
privately retained lawyers attended
the opening session today of~the board
of trade inquiry into the destruction
of the liner whose sinking by Ger
man submarine May caused a loss
of more than ], 100 lives. The surviv-
ors and the relatives of the dead eX-
pressed disappointment at the fact
that the testimony relating to the ad-
miraltys wireless instructions to the
Lusitania were given in camera, since
they could see small hope in evidence
that will be forthcoming to show
whether the officers of the ship eXer-
cised all precautions to protect the
vessel and her passengers. This hope
was lessened further by the ruling of
Baron Mersey, president of the court
of inquiry, that he would pass per
sonally on all questions put to witness
es by outside attorneys.
In addition to the survivors and rel
attves of the dead, there were thirty
odd witnesses and perhaps seventy live
other spectators in the gallery. The
hall has seats for 1000 persons and
the proceedings could not be heard
distinctly, on account of the echoes.
Baron Mersey could be heard only by
those close to him, while the remarks
of Sir Edward Carson, the attorney
general, often were unintelligible.
No robes nor uniforms were worn.
Everyone present, including Captain
Turner of the Lusitania, was in civil
dress.
Captain Turner was the principal
witness today. He appeared to be in
good physical condition and in full
control of his nerves. His voice was
hearty and firm, his manner brisk and
his answers prompt.

PROMPT ACTION URGED IN
REGARD TO NATIONAL DEFENSE
National Security League Petitions
President to Call Matter to Atten-
tion of Congress.

New York, June 15.-A resolution
introduced by Mayor Curley of Bos-
ton appealing to President Wilson to
call the attention of congress to the
pressing need of prompt and efficient
action" with regard to the national
iefense, was unanimously adopted to-
day by the delegates to the Peace and
Preparedness conference of the Ma
tional Security league. The Massachu-
setts delegates at first proposed that
a special session be demanded to con-
slider what the yteTmed the unpre-
pared state of the country, but such
action was deemed inadvisable and
was abandoned.
The preamble to the resolution read,
in part as follows:
Events of the past year have dem
onstrated the fact that war, no mat
ter how greatly it may be deplored,
may suddenly and unexpectedly occur,
Notwithstanding the existence of trea-
ties of peace and unity and they have
paid and are paying the price of their
lack of foresight. The reports of our
military and naval experts have made
it clear that the defensive forces of
the country are inadequate for the
proper protection of our coasts, to en-
able our government to maintain it's
accepted policies, to fulfill obligations
to other states and to exert in the
adjustment of international questions
the influences to which the republic is
entitled
The resolution itself urged that the
president be urged to call early at
tention of congress to the pressing
need of prompt and efficient action"

oVERTUREs FOR PEACE
FIRST CHIEF UNWILLING
Gonzales Has Demanded Surrender of
Mexico City and May Precipitate a
BattIe-President Wilson Takes a
Hopeful View of Affairs.

Washington. June 15.-AIanuel Vas
quez Tagle, minister of justice in the
cabinet of Madero, who has taken no
part in revolutionary activity in Mex
leo since Huerta's coup in February,
1913, has been practically agreed upon
by leaders of the Villa-Zapata coalition
as acceptable to them for the pro-
visional presidency should an agree
ment with the Carranza faction be pos
sible.
Named for Provisional President.
TagIe was the only cabinet minister
who did not resign when Huerta over
threw the legally elected Madero ad-
ministration. He left Mexico City then
and has since lived in the United
States. In official and diplomatic
quarters there has been much discus
sion of Tagle, especially because the
United States has been deSirOuS of ac-
cording recognition not only to a pro-
visional president agreed upon by the
factions, but one who could be brought
into power by a continuation of the
legal machinery existing before the
Huerta regime.
Watching Developments.
At present officials are watching
closely political developments in Mex
leo. General Villas overtures foT
peace, made directly to General Car
rama, have not yet borne fruit but
such information as has reached here
from Vera Cruz indicates that the first
chief is unwilling to enter into any
conferences with his adversaries, in
siSting that his forces will soon obtain
a military supremacy which will merit
erOcOgnitiOn from the United States
and foreign powers.
Carranza's Counsel to Visit Vera Cruz.
Charles a. Douglas, counsel for Car.
rama in Washington, will leave to-
morrow for Vera Cruz to confer with
the first chief. Word that General
Pablo Gonzalez, the Carranza COM
mander, who is approaching Mexico
proposals from delegation sent by the
Villa-Zapata convention government,
reached here today. Gonzalez is un-
derstood to have demanded the sur
render of the capital within two days.
The possibility that the Zapata forces
will engage the Carranza army for
possession of the city has made for
eigners apprehensive and already eff
forts are being made through diplomat
ic channels by some of the foreign mis-
sions in Mexico City to secure protec-
ton for their nationals in case of a
transfer of authority. Mexico City has
been intermittently held by all fac
tions and is not considered of strategic
Importance.
President Wilson Optimistic.
President Wilson told callers today
he believed the situation was shaping
itself more definitely Mexico, but did
not reveal the administration's plans.

Italian General Staff Receives Report
That Austria Allotted in Invasion.

Rome, June Is, 3.35 p. m, via Chiasso
and Paris, 1856 p. m.-According to
reports received by the Italian general
staff, Austria is indirectly encouraging
Serbia in her Albanian plan, the ma
ture of which is indicated by the re-
cent incursion of Serbian troops into
that country. 1t is reported here that
Serbia and Greece have reached an
agreement respecting the partition of
Albania, trusting, once it is accom-
plished, that it will be ratified by the
peace conference.
What appears unusual in the situa-
ton is that Austria, whose uItimatum
to Serbia resulted in the war, instead
of seizing the present opportunity to
resume the offensive against Belgrade,
now that part of The Serbian troops
are engaged in Albania, has removed
some of her forces from the Serbian
front to face the Italians.
In an official statement issued June
II it was explained the Serbian expe-
ditiOn into Albania was deemed neces-
sary because that country was a hot
bed of Austro-Turkish intrigue, result
ing in Albanian raids in Serbia At
the same time, it was added, Serbia
realized that the Albanian question
would be definitely settled by Europe.
