SINKING Of LINER
LACON|A OVERT ACT.
1T WAS OFFICIALLY SAID TO cod
STlTUTE VIOLATION OF AMER.
lCAN BlGHTS.
FOUR AMERICANS SURVIVORS
President Asked For Authority To
Take Just Such An Act At Very
Moment When First News Was
Coming over Cables.

Washington.-The sinking OF the
Cunardcr Laconia by a German suo
marine was said officially to constitute
a clear-cut violation of American
rights.
Conclusive official information a
the State Department shows that two
American women lost their lives ana
that if four other Americans among
the passengers and the IA among the
crew we're saved, it was only by good
fortune and that the vessel was sunk
without warning in defiance OF all tht
principles for which the United States
has stood,
Consul Frosts report from the sur
vivors landed at Queenstown and Ban
try show that the vessel was STRUCK
by a first torpedo without warning at
1920 Sunday night, $50 miles off FAST
net. The engine was stopped as the
ship listed to starboard, wireless calls
were flashed broadcast and six large
rockets were sent up. Thirteen boats
with passengers and crew got away
and scattered over two or three miles
to prevent collision in a high sea roll
ing in II feet swells.
About 20 minutes after the first tor
pedO was fired and while some of the
boats were still near by a second tor
pedo was driven into the vessel, which
sank three-quarters of an hour after
the original attack. The small boats
pitched about during the long hours
of the night until rescue came, Dur
ing this time the two American wo
men, Mrs. Mary +. Hoy and Miss Ely
abeth Hoy of Chicago, died Of expos
ure and were buried at sea. There
were several other deaths, but not ol
Americans.
No further facts are needed by this
government, it is said officially ana
no inquiry is necessary to establish
the facts. Officials say Germany has
committed the act which President
Wilson has said it was impossible fol-
him to believe she would commit.
both White House and State De
partment officials feel that the answer
must come from Congress. The presi
dent asked for authority to take steps
to prevent just such an act at the very
moment when the first news was com
ing over the cables.

Industrials Advance
On Very Lively Market

New York, Oct. 1.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review todey
said:
Today's stock market opened with a
rush to buy up the short interests, pre-
sumably on the theory that patriotic
enthusiasm at the beginning of the sec
ond war loan campaign might well be
communicated to the securities lists.
Prices of industrial issues advanced
two to three points, with particularly
brisk demand for the steel group and
a few individual shares like American
Can, Baldwin Locomotive and Mexican
Petroleums. Although the steel trade
is in state of stagnation sentiment as
to the ultimate adjustment ko new
government prices is most cheerful.
This feeling made itself felt among
the steel stocks. United States Steel
