U. s. PROBES IDENTITY
OF AFFIDAVIT MAKERS
ON LUS|TAN|A GUNS

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The ad-
ministration today started a quiet in
vestigation into the character of the
individuals and the testimony they
presented in their affidavits filed with
the state department alleged that the
Lusitania carried guns concealed upon
her decks.
1t was understood to be preparing
to demolish this testimony which was
presented by Germany to show that
the liner was a man of war and not a
merchantmen when she was torpe-
doed by German submarine.
There was we'll defined difference
of opinion in administration and dip
lomatic circles as to the effect these
affidavits would have on the rejoiner
which President Wilson will make to
the German reply to the Lusitania
note.
1t is generally believed. however,
that Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador. in his interview with the
chief executive yesterday. referred TO
these affidavits as a basis of Ger
many's request for an investigation of
the facts as to the character of the
Lusitania.

MAY P. G. BUSINESS
BEATS ALL RECORDS

If the Richmond post office were
used as an example of the industrial
and financial condition of the city,
the seat of Wayne county could be re-
garded as an exception of flourishing
growth.
May was the biggest May month
the postoffice has ever had. The post
al sales we're S7,950.51 and the surplus
for the office was $4,260. OF the total
surplus only $351.1S was sent to In
dianapolis, the remainder. $3,90S being
used to pay clerks in the railway SER
vice. This method is used to pay
clerks who find Richmond a conven-
lent pay point. instead of transferring
all money to Indianapolis.
The deposits last month in the pos
tai savings department were $2,0O2,
which is 1852 greater than any pre-
vious May. The number of deposits
was forty-four, eleven greater than
any previous May. The balance in
the postal savings department is
$13,751 which is new record for this
period of the year.
The applications for bonds amount
ed to $2,6S0. exceeding the previous
high record by $24O. The bonds will
be issued in denomina tions of $50,
$50 800 and $500
Yesterday was the first withdrawal
from the postal savings bank of an
Italian who will return to Italy for
the war.

Ground for this belief is found by
the admission of Secretary Bryan
some time after this interview. that
the affidavits were in the department.
Some officials and diplomats take
the position that these affidavits bring
up the question of facts so strongly
that the United States cannot ignore
them. no matter how much stress the
administration places upon the hu-
manitarian side.
Bernstorff Silent.
Il have just told the secretary of
state whatever he may hear he may
be sure that have done absolutely no
talking and that if any one has been
talking it is some one other than my
self"
Count Won Bernstorff today made
this statement after brief conference
with Secretary Bryan. He referred 10
his conversation with President VIII
son yesterday. Counselor Lansing of
the state department, later stated that
the charges made in the affidavits
were being Investigated by treasury
officials and the department of JUS
tice.
