New York, Nov. 1.-Senator Henry

"It was suggested to Senator Lodge
that the newspapers were charging
that the republican nominees speech
contained nothing constructive but was

Binghampton, N. Y, (Aboard Pres.

dent Wilson is being informed of every
step and detail in the Marina case from
Washington today Every dispatch to
the state department from Consul Frost
and other officials aboard will be inn

The president is particularly anxious
to get the report he asked from the

measure, what course this government
will take.
Administration officials are disposed
to give Germany time for full investi-

inquiry which necessarily must await
the formal report of the submarine
commander. In former cases these re-
ports have not been made for several
days, this time being required for the
submarine to return to its base.

view the outlook as holding serious pos
sibilities, those close to him say he will,
as heretofore, insist on careful investi-
CATION and come 20 no conclusion pend

Affidavits of Survivors

Cork, Nov. 1.-Depositions from Is
American survivors, stating that the
steamer Marina was tOrpedoed without
warning, with probable loss of several
American lives are being taken here
by United States Consul Frost and Will
be forwarded to the state department
lat Washington.
The Americans arrived here with Is
other survivors of the Marina 3 crew.
They reported that from three to six
Americans including one passenger,
were probably drowned,
The Marina was attacked early Sat
urday morning while en- route from
Glasgow to Baltimore. A torpedo struck
her amidship, on the starboard side.
The explosion blew a great hole In
the steamer S side and seemed to lift
her out of the water, the survivors said.
She rolled over on one side and as she
settled, remained afloat twenty min
utes, battered by the waves, until her
boilers exploded, splitting her in two.
Captain Brown was the last man to
leave the ship.
Some of the survivors say second
torpedo was fired as the Marina was
settling. Others say a second submarine
was nearby, but took no part in the
attack.
One Of the Marina S boats was rolled
against the steamer s side by the heavy
seas and crushed. All the occupants
were drowned. The other boats drifted
for eighteen hours before rescue steam
ers were sighted. Survivors suffered
terribly on account of the cold and
were drenched by spray from great
waves that threatened to capsize their
boats at any moment.

No Change in Policy

Washington, Nov. 1.--Secretary OF

that the campaign will have any eff.
feet on the department IS action in the

ment:
The fact that a political campaign
Is in progress will in no way vary the
practice of the department in regard
to making full investigation of cases
of this sort. We shall act as we always
have, with as much celerity as posi-.
BILE.

Break In Sprinkler
System Does Damage

The excessive cold is believed to
have been responsible for a serious
break in the sprinkler system in the
large clothing establishment of
Schoonmaker &. Co., Main street,
Paterson, at about II o'clock Tues
day morning, and before the water
could be shut off damage had been
done to the extent of $4,000 or $4,000.
The break was on the main floor, and
as one of the firm remarked to an
Evening Record reporter, "the water
fell from the ceiling like a miniature
Niagara Falls"
The goods within striking distance
of the water fall were ruined, and so
great was the fall that no one could
go to the rescue. Fully a foot of
water flooded the floor, and then it
reached the cellar.
The firemen were summoned to
pump the water from the building. It
was a fireman who was finally able
to turn off the water, and that was
twenty minutes after the break
occurred.
Of course, there was a merry chase
of the large number of customers in
the store at the time.
Business was resumed in the after
noon, and without any evidence of
the damage done.-Record.

Wickedness In

Not all of the wickedness of this

Not by dog goned sight!
We city folks may be naughty in
some respects, but our country cousins
are just as bad, and sometimes great
deal wore.
If you don't believe it, listen to
this paragraph culled from the Gam
lite River Dots" in the current num-
Der of the Liberty Herald:
"Quite crowd attended prayer
meeting Saturday night, after which
they gathered at nearby home, and
dancing was INDUCED in until late
hour"
Now, wouldn't that shock you? Bad
as we are in Jackson nothing of that
sort ever happens here. We may
love to tango, we may adore the tur-
key trot, the picture show and the
theater hold warm spots in our af-
fections, but we certainly do not lin
dulge in these form of dissipation on
prayer meeting nights. No stree!
We wait until the next night.-Jack-

Of Rdgefeld Park

story has been the unwilling victim
to cruel lot of stories about her
personal conduct. She is widow,
and has been conducting drug store
left her by her late husband. She is
the mother of a thirteen-months old

Business in the drug store left
me by my husband has not been a
paying proposition of late and I be-
came a bit respondent" said Mrs.
Hellstern. I did go away, hoping to
get employment, but / didn't desert
my baby the way the neighbors have
it. / left letters explaining why l
was going away, and arranged for
the best care for my baby, which he
had received. l also wrote to my
brother-in-law, DIR. E. G. Hellstern,
of Cliffside, and he could have cleared
away the rumors if the neighbors
wanted to know the truth.
"Of course, I didn't say when /
would be back, but l didn't intend to
stay away. phoned to friend and
when she told me Of the scandalous
ruumors / hurried back to surprise
the gossips.
81 understand that because the
druggist was away few days his
name was added to the rumors. He
was ill and went to his home.
"My brother-in-law, Rudolph He'll
stern, will run the drug store until 1
can find a buyer. Then I'll move to
Baltimore and join my parents"
DR.. E. G. Hellstern, of Hudson

sadian" reported in regard to the
story said that it was all fabric of
lies. He had no theory to offer in
regard to the animous behind the

Little Small Farm
Now In Palisade

Snails are at this time being raised
in Palisade. Mrs. Charles T. Logan
has very handsome aquarium with
some half dozen pretty gold fish in
it, together with a number of snails.
Not long ago Mrs. Logan noticed a
milky looking substance hanging near
one of the snails, which the little
fishes partially ate up. Then some
tiny snails appeared in the water,
but they soon disappeared, as the
fish made way with them.
This week more small spawn ap-
peared, which was isolated under a
glass bell with a tube in one end, let
ting in the air. In few hours there
were three as pretty little snails as
one ever sees that settled down on
some small stones mixed in with the
gravel on the bottom of the aquarium.
Two of these got away, somehow,
but the third is still in the diving bell
arrangement, as lively as you please.
The snails were all about three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter.
