WASHINGTON IS SURPRISED
Officials Regard T~orpedoing of Liner
Hesperian as Uncomfortable After
Assurances Given by Germany.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Oficial Wash.
ington received news of the torpedo
ing of the Allan liner Hesperian by
a German submarine with surprise.
though there was none of the grave
anxiety that followed the sinking Of
the Arabic. 1t was learned that high
officials regarded it as i~nconceivable,
that, after the assurances given by the
German government last week a Ger.
man submarine commander had with
out warning launched a torpedo at q
peaceful passenger vessel.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing heard of the incident first
through press dispatches.
Some significance was attached to
Consul Frost's statement from Queens
town that the Hesperian carried ON
her stern a 4.7-inch rifle. While inter-
national law permits merchantmen to.
have guns Of small calibre for defen-
Sive purposes mounted aft, it was
pointed out that II the Allan liner act
ed at all suspiciously after being APP
preached, the presence of this gun
probably would figure prominently in
the submarine commanders explana-
ton of the torpedoing.
Both President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing took the position that
there could be no comment until ALI
details Of ths~attack were known.

SPURN HIGHER FREIGHT RATE
WESTERN ROADS WILL NOT Ac
CEPT ADVANCE ALLOWED.
VIII Appeal for Rehearing Of Cases,
Charging Interstate Commerce
Commission with Inconsistency.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Western railroads
will not accept the advances in freight
rates allowed them by a recent decis-
ion of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission. Acting on advice of their
executive officers, the attorneys of the
various lines met in this city and de.
cided to appeal from the commissions
decision and to file a petition for a
r%ehearing Of the rate cases early next
week.
THE main ground is that We be.
lieve that the Interstate Commerce
Commissions opinion In the rate case
is entirely inconsistent with itself and
with it's previous decisions said Mr.,
Wright. 1T is inconsistent both on
the general subject of additional rev.
enues the railroads claimed they
needed, and also specifically in the
treatment Of our request for higher
interstate freight rates by citing in.
stances of lower intrastate rates."

US. TROOPS FIGHT MEXlCANS
Find Bullet-Ridden Bodies of Texans
in Bed of Dried Lake-Mexi-
cans Slain.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 4.-The bull.
l%et-riddled bodies of two Americans,
who were kidnapped by Mexican ban.
dts, about IL miles north of here,
were found late in the day in the bed
of a dried lake.
They were Earl Donaldson, a far.
mer, who came here from Fayette,
Mo-, two weeks ago and an engineer
named Smith, engaged in concrete
construction work on an irrigation
canal. The bodies were brought to
Brownsville. Donaldson, Smith and
Stanley Dodds, the latter a contrac-
tor, building an irrigation pumping
station, were captured by the Mexi.
cans.
Because one Of the band told the
others that Dodds was a German, he
was not harmed, but his hat and shoes
were taken. The pumping station and
an automobile were burned by the
bandits.
Later in the day the Mexicans be
came engaged in a running fight with
a detachment of United States infan,
try and in the excitement Dodds es
capped.
He telephoned from a distant ranch
house that he was safe. The fight
between the Mexicans and the Ameri
can detachment resulted in the death
of ore Mexican and the escape of the

PEACE PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN
GIBBONS URGES WILSON TO AID
IN ENDING WAR.
President Would Insist Upon Germans
Leaving Belgium-kaiser Wants
Poland Free.

Washington, Sept. 4.-cardinal Glib
bons, dean of the college of cardinals,
presented a confidential communica.
ton from Pope Benedict to President
Wilson inviting and urging this gov.
ar1ment to cooperate with the vatican
so5 neutral nations to bring about
peace in Europe.
Up to the present the United States
has acted entirely alone in the single
offer it has made to be of service In
bringing about peace.
After his visit and confidential talk
with the President, Cardinal Gibbons
said:
~ think the prospects for peace are
brightening."
Indicates Definite Results.
The statement, expressing the judg-
ment of a representative of the pope
after comforting with President Will
son, is regarded here as indicating
that definite results so far as future
action by this government and the vat
lean are concerned are already being
achieved.
Cardinal Gibbons, the secretary of
state, and the President, declined to
reveal the details of the pope's sug-
gestion. 1t was stated at the White
House, in fact, that the President
would not discuss the subject at ali.
From two official sources, however,
it is reported that:
1. Germany will not consider any
peace arrangement that does not per-
NIT Poland to become an independent
kingdom.
2. Germany will insist the civil
freedom of the Jews must be guar.
anteed.
8. Germany will demand interna.
tionai agreement providing for the
freedom Of the seas.
All authorities agree in the opinion
that the action taken by the pope to
enlist the cooperation of a great ia
tion like the United States is epoch
making because it is understood to be
definite and complete and based upon
the certain knowledge of Pope Bene,
dict of the views of Austria and Ger
many.
American officials think, however,
that II the terms Of peace are fully
disclosed and include the withdrawal
Of German troops from Belgium and
France, this government would not
hesitate to make the mediation offer al
any time.
Further interesting reports were
that Germany might be willing &c
abandon Belgium and certain parts OF
France and Luxembourg on condition
of large compensatory territory in AT
RIGA. This report also is that the Prus
sian and Austrian preponderance in q
new Poland would demand that the
ruler of the new kingdom should be
q German prince.

HESPERlAN
HIT BY TORPEDO
ATTACKED WITHOUT WARNING
BY GERMAN SUBMARINE
OFF IRISH COAST.
EVERY SOUL ABOARD SAVED
Force of Explosion Was Tremendous
and of Passengers Landed at
Queenstown About Twen-
ty Were Injured.

London, Sept. 7. - The Allan line
steamer Hesperian with $50 passen-
gers and a crew of 300 aboard, bound
from Liverpool for Montreal, was at
tackled without warning by a German
subu arine off the Irish coast just as
darkness was falling.
Although the torpedo found its mark,
the vessel remained afloat, and, &C
cording to a statement issued by the
saved.
Too Dark to Observe Torpedo.
No submarine was seen and probab-
ly it was too dark to observe the wake
of a torpedo, but all the passengers
and members OF the crew who arrived
at Queenstown in the rescue steamers
agree that the attack was made by
a German undersea boat, basing their
opinion on the force of the shock and
the great volume of water thrown in
to the air. This dropped back on the
deck drenching the passengers who
were taking an after-dinner promen-
ade, feeling quite safe In the belief
that they has passed the submarine
danger zone.
The force of the explosion was ire.
mendous and of the passengers landed
at Queenstown, many Of them scantily
clad, about 20 were injured. There
were no American passengers aboard
so far as the American consul could
learn but two members of the crew
were American citizens and they both
were saved.
Confusion Prevails in Darkness.
About 30 Canadian soldiers who had
been wounded in battle in Flanders,
were going home to recuperate. Most
of the other passengers were Cana
dams returning from a visit to Eng
land, or English people on their way
to Canada to settle.
The torpedo struck the Hesperiap in
the forward engine room and the ship
Immediately began to settle by the
head. Captain Main ordered the pas
sengers and crew into the boats but
with his officers remained on the
bridge.
The discipline was perfect, but one
of the boats capsized and those in her
were thrown into the water. In the
darkness confusion naturally prevail
ed, but all were picked up and with
other passengers and the crew were
transferred to the rescue steamer,
which arrived in answer to wireless
calls for assistance.
The Hesperian was about $50 miles
to the westward when struck. The
steamer was being towed to port, AL
Ian line officials stated.

Crew Is Lost.

Berlin, via wireless to Sayville,
Sept. 1.-THE Overseas News Agency
made the following announcement:
"a headquarters report issued at
Constantinople announced that the
Turkish coast guard ship Bahrsid had
shelled and sunk an enemy submarine
southwest of Armudli. 1t was imros-
sible to save the crew."
Armudli is on the Asia Minor coast
of the sea Of Marmora. An Athens
dispatch to the London Star Saturday
stated that a British submarine. after
passing through the Gulf Of Ismid.
landed a party at Gebize to dynamite
the railroad bridge. After planting
bombs, the landing party was said to
have returned safely to the submarine.

PRIZE WINNERS IN 500
MILE SPEEDWAY RACE

De Palma vas pressing him hard. The
1:43:33 and the average $3.50. AS the
race progressed the average speed
dropped and although an occasional
squirt would be seen, 1t was manifest
that no new marks would be establish
ed. Resta in the meantime stopped to
locate his engine trouble and found
that his oil pump had been broken. His
car was backed into the shade of the
judges stand and the favorite in the
betting watched his co-workers whiz
around the rough course.
Ralph Milford, who was driving Har-
ry j. Tremain's Deusenberg, had been
making a creditabie showing, but on
his 60th lap, the winner Of the Des
Moines grind was given the white flag
and upon pulling into the pit he was
informed that his radiator hood was
hanging loose.
De Palma In Second Place.
Cooper was leading at 100 miles with
an average of SS.71. De Palma was
second and Anderson third. De Palma
lost more ground through engine trou-
BILE, and at 1870 miles Anderson was
second to Cooper. De Palma once
more broke into the speed class and
at loo miles he was in second place,
but engine trouble again brought him
to the pits.
Two hundred miles Of racing found
Anderson still leading, with Cooper a
close second. De Palma's engine con-
tinued to give him grief and finally
the second Italian withdrew, complain
ing that oil had got into the curbur-
etor. The withdrawal Of De Palma left
only the Stutz team to fight it out for
first place as O'Donnell was miles be-
hind. The race between the two
white cars was interesting, but the
spectators began to lose interest and
as Anderson later gave way to a re-
lief driver, the contest was not one be-
tween drivers so much as a rae to
show the durability of the machines.
With no outside opposition, both An
derson and Cooper slowed down per-
ceptably and, although both seemed to
be dragging the best speed possible
out of their cars, it is a safe assertion
that better time would have been made
had Resta or De Palma, or both, been
in the race. At shutdown Starter Wag-
ner tagged Billy Chandler and Barney
Oldield and both were awarded prizes,
although they did not finish the 500
miles. Brown in the Du Cheasneau was
the last man to give up at the pits.
