lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL lsAsto w,ssI
London, May . al y. m)-"The
only problem now is TO identify the
nameless dead
Thus Superintendent Dodd of the
Cunard company dashed any linger-
ing hope that there might be further
survivors OF the Lusitania
So far as can be ascertained, about
700 persons escaped when the Lusi-
tania took her fatal plunge after be-
ing struck by German torpedoes, but
of these forty-tive have died from ex-
posures or from injuries. The death
roll, as estimated here, totals well up
TO 1900.
Lord Mersey is to conduct an in
jury into the sinking of the vessel
and until that begins official opinion
as to how the Lusitania came TO be
caught and why so many lives were
lost, will remain a secret. The gem
eral unofficial opinion is that several
German submarines were assigned to
the task Of attacking the Cunard lin
er and that they maneuvered her in
to a position where she could not es-
cape.
Driven Into Cul dc Sac.
Passengers say that for some time
before the first torpedo was fired the
Lusitania had altered her course and
they ascribe this 10 the fact that one
of the German submarines had
shown herself, sending the big liner
In the direction where other under
water craft were waiting to strike
with their deadly torpedoes.
These submarines, naval experts
believe, are of the latest type of prob
ably 1000 tons and much more
powerful than any possessed by other
navies.
Only Deep Anger Aroused.
Beyond anger at the Germans, the
disaster has had no effect on the
British public. steamers are arriving
and departing as usual, and even the
steamers to ireland are being freely
patronized.
The heavy loss OF life on the Lusi-
tania was due, In the belief OF res
cued passengers, to the fact that
some OF the officers, at least, reas-
sured them after the first torpedo
struck that the Lusitania would re-
main afloat and could make Queens
town. Preparations, II is true, were
made TO launch the boats, but before
this could be done, a second torpedo
hit the steamer aud she listed SO
badly that the crew could only work
the boats on one side Of the ship.
Not an Auxiliary Cruiser.
Another factor was the extreme
confidence OF the passengers them
selves in the infalliability Of the wa
ter-tight compartments. According to
a steward, they would not believe,
even after the second torpdeo struck,
that the ship would go down.
The Lusitania was not in the Brit
ish navy list for April among the
merchant vessels commissioned as ma
val auxiliaries and the officials OF the
Cunard company deny that she eyer
was used for that purpose

1t il true that nature and woman s
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots apd

forty years ago, gave to womankind

has proved more ehicacious than any

from coast to coast as the standard

PAID MISSIONARIES
81 EACH, HE SAYS
StilWell. Yonkers Alder,
man, TestiheS in Vote
Buying Case.

Missionary work" was the way Al
derman Frederick II. Stilwell, Of Yonk-
ers, on trial in White Plains Supreme
Court for alleged vote buying, de-
scribed yesterday election time toll, for
which he paid five men 80 each. He
was the first witness called for the
| defence after Justice Tompkins had de-
MED a motion to dismiss the case on
the ground that no evidence had been
produced TO show that Stilwell had
bought votes at last November's cleo
ton.
The alderman admitted that two
days after election he had paid FIVE OF
the workingmen who were called as
witnesses for the state on Tuesday for
missionary work in behalf OF the
workingmen's compensation act" He
denied that he had ever bought or paid
for any mans vote or that he ever
promised to pay any man for voting.
He admitted, however. that he had paid
men for watching at the polls.
Corporation Counsel Curran OF
Yonkers, Of Stilwell's counsel, wanted
TO know all about the country inn at
which the thirteen laborers. witnesses
for the prosecution. were kept. The
workingmen had an automobile for
themselves and received what they
called elegant" treatment Patrick
Mckinney, one of them, was put on the
stand yesterday. He was not an alto
gether satisfactory witness, because
most Of his answers TO Curran's ques-
tons we're: 81 don't remember" or II
may have"
Mckinney said he had been brought
up TO the inn by two New York detec-
tives, who told him he was TO 60 about
the men in the place and get them to
admit that they were paid for voting on
Election Day. He admitted he had
been at Stilwells house before and
after election, but he had been drink
ing, he said, and did not remember
what had taken place.
Stilwell said that Mckinney had
asked him several times FOR money and
for job in the Street Cleaning De-
partment. He admitted that he had
given Mckinney money occasionally,
Ito help him out" but he denied that
he knew anything about the way Nc
Kinney voted.
Joseph Gallasso, a saloonkeeper, te.-
/ tifed that he saw Stilwell hand over
! cash TO five men in his saloon two days
after election. In 1918. he testified,
Stilwell gave him list of eighteen
names and a roll Of bills, with instruc-
tons to pay them 81 each. He admit
ted, on cross-e1aminstion, that the Al
derman had told him the eighteen were
workers about the polls"
James Marrone, Daniel Boyd and
William O'Neil testified that they were
paid ~ each by Stilwell in Gallasso's
saloon. They admitted that Stilwell
never asked them how they voted. As
sistant District Attorney Fallon will
cross-examine Stilwell at to-day's ses-
| sion.

would consider the repeal OF the pres

II now Is. may be amended in certain
passages, and TO this suggestion 30
mot object
The witness declared that there was
not single law on the statute books
which resulted IN accomplishing thc
purpose for which y was intended, and
that alone.
"If the idea is carried too far. 1t will
drive private capital out OF public util-
ity corporations. and necessi,ate the
use Of public funds. These can be raised
only by taxation. and ! don't think the
time is just ripe for that now he SAID.
After suggesting that the principles
Of the National Civic Federation could
be proftsbly applied in considering
amendments 10 the law, Mr.. WINS was
excused.
The last witness Of the day was Con
troller Prendergast. He praised the
work Of the commission in its subway
extension efforts since January, 1910.

son.
81 believe that the work has been
done well in the main was the reply.
There may have been omissions and
Gcrelictions, but | doubt il you will
find more than in the work OF any
other body"
Mr.. Prendergast took a different
view than Mr.. WINS as TO the number
Of men which might best constitute the
commission. He thought FIVE was the
proper number. and believed that di-
vision Of regulatory functions 10 three
OF the members might be made, with
the balance of the work left 70 the
remaining commissioners.
"Do you think the Public Service
Commissioners are being paid too

ward.
"No.' was the answer. "a commits
sioner who does his work can save the
city $4,000 a year"
The Controller then said his expert
ence with Commissioners Wilcox and
Mccall showed that both seemed TO
have high realization OF their respon-
sibilities.
Mayor Mitchell and Mr. McAneny are
expected 10 be called by the commit
tee AZ its session to-day.

ing an additional district judge in the
Southern District Of Georgia was again
adopted in the House to-day By an
overwhelming vote Of 203 to 9S. The
amendment requires that the President
in naming the new judge, shall make
public the names Of those who Endorsed
him"
When the bill originally passed the
House the amendment was included on
motion Of Representative Cullop. an
Indiana Democrat. The Senate struck
out the publicity provision. Chairman
Webb OF the Judiciary Committee
moved to-day 70 concur in the Senate
amendment, but Mr.. Cullop, insisting
that the country had a right TO know
the names Of those interesting them
selves in judicial appointments, de-
feated the motion. The House confer
rees are directed 20 stand out in favor
OF publicity, and this probably will re-
.ult In killing the bill for this session.

TO AID BELGIAN LAWYERS
Bar Ass'n Will Help King Al
bert's Briefless Ones.

Now that those who remain OF the
Belgians are too busy during their
waking hours fighting the Kaiser to
sauable among themselves, the condi-
ton Of the Belgian lawyer is, take 1t
from Alton B. Parker, pitiable indeed.
Mr.. Parker says that all chance for
. lawyer to earn a living in Belgium
has vanished. The Germans have most
Of the property. Therefore there is no
chance for a remunerative civil action.
As for the original inhabitants, they
have been cleaned out of everything,
even law suits.
At Mr.. Parker's suggestion, the
American Bar Association has appoint
ed a committee, headed by Joseph h.
Choate, to look after its destitute
brethren on the other side. Every
lawyer will be asked 10 give at least
81 toward relief, and general appeal
has been sent out TO direct the charity
of the public toward the refugee law
yers Of the stricken country.
