sengers declare that Gaffney shouted above the hum of conversation, "Oh, that's fine! Some more Englishmen killed!"
 In a moment the saloon was in an uproar, and several rushed toward the speaker. "That's a terrible thing to say,' protested John G. Simon, who is connected with Rice & Hutchins, a shoe firm at 10 High street, Boston. T hate to think of the innocent non combatants who will be killed. To my way of thinking it is just as bad as the sinking of the Lusitania."
 1T wish to God, then, that I had ing the Lusitania," Gaffney is report ed to have replied.
 Among others who say they heard the remark was William F. Pike, United States Consul General, return ing from his post at Coburg, Germany, and Gustave Bissing, a New York lawyer, affiliated with the Hupp Mo- tor company.
 Gaffney said last night that he did not recall making the remark about the Lusitan nia
 He was asked if it was true that he asserted that he would enjoy seeing the German flag flying over the White House. NO, I didn't say that" re- piled Gaffney. What I did say was that l would like to help haul down the English flag from the White House. The atmosphere of the White House is viciously pro-British. MT. Wilson reads The London Times and The Morning Post and would prefer to believe what those news papers say rater than the truth"
 Gaffney blame the English papers for his removal from office, and especially the bitter editorials in The Morning Post" which severely criti- cized his pro-German attitude at a time when Great Britain was relying on United States diplomats for proper supervision of German prison and civilian internmtnt camps
 Gaffney is an Irishman by birth, and for many years has been closely connected with the Irish Nationalist movement and was one of Charles ParnelIs co-workers. He also was an intimate friend of Roger Easement, and was one of the last to see Case

DUNDEE IN RING TONIGHT
Will Meet Joe Yelling of Chicago
 at Madison Square Garden.

New York. Aug. 3o.-The ten- round bout between Johnny Dundee, the local Italian lightweight, and Joe Yelling of Chicago, who aspires to Freddie Walsh's title, which will be decided tonight at Madison Square garden, promises to be one of the best lightweight contests staged this year. The Chicagoan, according to reports, is a lightweight of the heavy hitting type, and is probably the tall est boxer in this division. In his training exercises he has shown fine form.
 Dundee has gone about his prepa- ration for the bout with his usual determination and, according to his manager, Scotty Monteith, is also in first-class condition. He has directed his attention, it is said, to the de- velopment of a knockout punch, and in a recent contest out of town, tried it out with success The men have agreed to box at the lightweight linn it, and both are reported as down to the required figure.

Dismissed Diplomat Home to Take Stump for Candidate Hughes

New York, Aug 30.-COmpla1n1ng hands of the British authorities at Kirkwal. Thomas St. John Gaffney, formerly United States Consul Gen. eral at Dresden and Munich, returned yesterday aboard the Frederick WILL, of the Scandinavian-Amerl Line. He was asked by President Wilson to resign his post several months ago be- cause of his alleged unneutral atti- tude.
 Tn statement which Gaffney issued on his arrival he told in detail of the indignities to which he had been sub jected. Not only his baggage, but his person, also, was searched, and all personal effects, including an address book, personal letters and two bonds of the Wisconsin Electric company, valued at $10O each, were seized, he said. In his statement he said that JEngland holds our government in contempt, sneers at the rights of American citizens, and if she were able to overthrow Germany our coun- try would be the next to be dealt with.'
 Passengers Unsympathetic.
 Passengers aboard the Frederick VIII had little sympathy with Gaffney and his difficulties, declaring him to be decidedly unpopular owing to his violent condemnation of all things British.
 When the liner was two days out of Kirkwall a wireless report was re- ceived telling of a Zeppelin raid on England. The news was received when the dining room was full, and pas

ment before the latter's return to England.
 It was not only his marked anti British attitude, but also, his leanings toward the Irish, that caused the British authorities to be so thorough in their investigation of his business.
 Gaffney told reporters that he pro- posed to establish himself at the Waldorf-Astoria, and would soon take the stump for Hughes, as ever since he became an American citizen he has bten an ardent republican.

joicings. marked today's observance OF

expression to their feelings to do
something in the form of gifts, in order
that wounds inflicted by the war might
be healed and in order that soldiers
families might be better cared for.
Special services OF thanksgiving and
prayers for the success of the war

United States May Change
Policy in Regard to the
Aiming of Merchantmen
for Defense.

Washington, Jan. 2T-The arrival at
steamer America, armed like the liner
Verona, already at the same port, with
two guns mounted aft, may hasten the
decision of the United States govern
ment on the question of whether there
shall be a change in policy regarding
the clearance from American ports of
merchant vessels armed for defensive
purposes.
Before news of the Americas ap-
pearance reached here in press dis
patches. Baron Zweidinek. the Austro-
Hungarian charge, had called at the
state department to ask what the Unit
ed States intended to do in the case of
the Verona
A similar inquiry was made by the
charge recently before the Italian
steamship Giuseppe Verdi sailed from
New York carrying guns mounted like
those of these two ships. The Verdi
was cleared after the Italian govern
arms would be used for defense only.
Baron Zweidinek communicated this
fact to Vienna.
Attack Without Warning.
It is understood that he has not yet
received additional instructions. but
there have been rumors that Austria
is preparing to inform the United
States that inasmuch as a submarine
could not approach q vessel carrying
such weapons for tho purposes OF exer-
cising the right of visit and search,
enemy merchantmen mounting guns
for any purpose would be considered
armed and would be subject to attack
without warning.
The official report on the case of
the Verona has just reached the state
department. 1t was suggested during
the day that the procedure followed in
regard to the Verdi probably would be
adopted in this case. After the news
of the Americas arrival was received
officials would not indicate what ef-
feet that might have on the depart
ment's deliberations.

BLOCKADE QUESTION
SUDDENLY DROPPED
HOUSE OF COMMONS

London. Jan. 27.-The result of the
anxiously awaited debate in the
house of commons on the blockade
question is that the British government
adheres to its existing policy.
A resolution introduced by Arthur
Shirley Benn, Unionist member for
Plymouth, that the entire over oceanic
traffic with Germany should be pre-
vented by blockade, was taken out
and the subject dropped. thus leaving
the position exactly as before the de-
bate. except that parliament seemed
more converted to the government
policy.
Interesting figures published by the
war department yesterday demoralized
the elaborate structure raised by the
newspapers and Sir Edward Grey's eff
fective speech appeared to finish the
work thus begun.
After the foreign secretary had spok-
en-, Commander Bellairs said he had
expected that nine tenths of the house
would be against Sir Edward Grey, but
since his speech he had to admit that
nine-tenths were with him. In fact,
after the foreign secretary sat down,
the house gradually emptied and at one
time during the debate only half a
dozen members were present.

up which he thought should take pref

Silence greeted the reiteration of his
opposition to a federal suffrage amend

were marked by applause. The women
speakers asked the president while
he was working out his preparedness

of women. While speaking in the mid

POWDER EXPLOSION

Bluefield. w. Va, Jan. 27.-More than
80 persons were injured, five seriously.
last night when a carload of black
powder exploded in the local yards of
the Norfoll; ~ Western railroad. Fire
followed and before the flames could
be controlled, several cars loaded with
merchandise had been destroyed.
Three cars containing dynamite were
on a nearby siding at the time but
firemen succeeded in removing them

about one mile and half from the
business section. The shock was felt
for miles and hundreds OF windows
were broken. Many persons at first be-
lieved an earthquake had occurred. The
cause has not been determined.
