LINER LUSITANIA SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINE
COmpany's Latest Bulletin

London, May - shortly before S
O'Clock tonight the Cunard company
issued a formal statement announcing
that the Lusitania had been torpedoed
without the slightest warning and sunk
within a very few minutes.
The bulletin stated that the entire
concern Of the company was for the
safety Of the passengers and crew, re-.
garding whose welfare it was not vet
fully informed The statement de.
elared that the material loss was not
being considered as it was fully
covered by insurance,
1t was explained that large num-
Der Of boats from the Lusitania are
known to be afloat, An exceptionally
large number of crafts in the vicinity
at the time the liner was struck
answered the Lusitania's call for help.
The fact that the company's official
bulletin made no mention of the mum.
Der Of passengers and crew so far ac.
counted for caused considerable un.
easiness. There seems little doubt but
that some information is already avail
able on this line and that the failure
of the company to make even meagrc
announcement relative to passengers
saved did not tend to allay the un-
easiness which became more manifest
as the evening progressed and the ten.
sion increased.

In our opinion this state Of things
could not exist if the Deputy
Sheriff were mindful of his duty
and of his oath to perform 1t.
8. GAMBLING.
We were informed that all the
gambling places were closed by
order of the Deputy Sheriff, short
ly before our arrival. We heard re-
liable testimony, however, TO the
effect that gambling sessions were
being conducted nightly with ha-
grant indifference to the law; that
the school children were given to
hanging about these places, becom-
ing versed in the evils of them, and
demoralizing their attendance at
school.
We were assured that these gam
bling places contributed their re-
gular monthly quota to the income
of the Deputy Sheriff. In our OPT
Mon such a condition of things
could not exist if the Deputy Sheriff
were honest and efficient.
4, IMMORTALITY.
We found many convincing in
dications of deplorable condition
of things moral. We visited two
establishments commonly known
as places of prostitution. The wo-
men themselves were gone but
their rooms and appliances testified
Enthusiastically to their vocation.
, We heard direct evidence of the
brutal rape of girl II years old,
and the continued abuse of the said
girl. This case was called repeat
edlv to the attention of the Deputy
Sheriff and he failed to take any
adequate action in the matter.
We were also credibly informed
of a most fragrant case of adultery
in broad daylight in an open LOT
just off tire main street and with.
in a stones throw of the Deputy
Sheriff S residence. We were told
that the children ran 20 see it as
