= CARRIED GUN AFT.
The California Was Armed with Weapon
for Defense.

New York, Feb. S.-The California,
which sailed from New York for Glasgow
January 20, was armed with a defense
gun mounted aft. She was due in Glas-
gov yesterday or to-day and in the alb
sence of details as to her exact position
when sunk il was believed here she must
have been off the north of Ireland.
The vessel, which was of s,662 tons,
carried a fun cargo believed to consist,
in part at least, of war supplies. Under
a recent ruling of Collector of the Port
Dudley Field Malone details of cargo on
board departing ships are withheld, and
the agents of the Anchor line declined
TO divulge the nature Of the shipments.
Officers of the California, the first large
liner to be sunk since the publication OF
the recent German note defining a new
sea policy, were captain, John L. Hen
derson; surgeon, William F. Alger; pur
ser, d. Burlington; chief steward, w.
Henry.
The loss of the California leaves the
Adriatic, Baltic and Cretic, also British
passenger vessels now at sea to be heard
from, the Baltic being due to arrive in
Liverpool yesterday.
The California was one of four large
twin screw passenger vessels built in
1907 for the Anchor line fleet. the others
being the Cameronis, Caledonia and Co
lumbia. She was 47O feet long, and was

POSTPONE SAILINGS.
American Lines Take Action Following
Governments Decision.

New York, Feb. S.-After receiving a
message from Secretary Lansing at
Washington yesterday the following
statement was given out by officials of
the American line:
"The American line announces that
the sailing dates of the steamers st.
Louis and st. Paul now in the port of
New York, have been indefinitely post
poned The following message was re-
ceived to-day by telephone from Secre-
tary of State Lansing:
"'The government cannot give advice
to private persons as to whether or not
their merchant vessels should sail on a
voyage to European ports by which they
would be compelled to pass through the
waters delineated in the declaration by
the German government on January 81,
1917.
alt, however, asserts that the rights
OF American vessels to traverse all parts
of the high seas are the same now as
they were prior to the issuance of the
German declaration and that a neutral
merchant vessel may, if its owners be-
believe that it is liable to be unlawfully
attacked, take any necessary measures
to prevent or resent such attacks
"The American line officers have now
taken under consideration whether to
sail their steamers within prohibited
waters OF whether il is their duty to
provide guns and gunners on their own
account"

est report on the destruction of the
steamship California received this morn
ing at the state department from Consul
Frost at Queenstown puts the number
of survivors at 1852 and the missing at
al. He says the ship apparently was
torpedoed at about 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
President Wilson read the latest Off
cial reports of the California sinking
before he had breakfast and decided that
nothing definite could be determined
until more details had been received.
Consul Frost's first report said that
there was zone death and 80 hospital
cases" among the more than 200 people
on board the liner. A second report
said that the survivors were landed at
Queenstown last night, among them be-
ing John A. Lee of Montgomery, Ala,
the only American known to have been
aboard. Lee is supposed to have been
a member of the crew as his name does
not appear on the passenger list made
public at New York.
The California, which was bound from
New York to Glasgow, is the first big
passenger steamer to be destroyed since
the Arabia was torpedoed in the Medi-
terranean months ago. Her sinking has
about swept away the last lingering
hope here that Germany after all would
allow passenger carriers to escape in an
effort to avoid driving the United States
to hostilities.

American Make.

strange vessel resembling a submarine
was reported Iast night to Capt. William
r. Rush, eommandant of the Boston

lying low in the water with small conf
cal house of superstructure about Is

$4,000 SUIT ENTERED.
st. Johnsbury Sued By Estate Of Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin c. Morse.

st. Johnsbury, Feb. s.--Suits aggre-
eating $4,000 have been instituted
against the town of st. Johns bury by
Elisha Bigelow, administrator of the es-
tate of Edwin G. Morse of Lyndon, who
with his wife, was killed about 1880
on Sunday evening of October %, when
their automobile went over a bank above
the Cox railroad crossing, getween St.
Johnsbury Center and Lyndon.
The suits brought were on the ground
that the place where the automobile went
over was a culvert and as such the town
was obliged to keep the place in repair,
and the town had failed to do so by not
having a sufficient guard rail for the
amount of kind of travel.
Two suits have been instituted; one
by the administrator for the estate of
Morse, and the other for the heirs
of Mrs. Morse. In each case the sum of
$4,000 is the amount asked. Bigelow
of Lyndonville through Attorney II. G.
Shurtletf of Montpelier. Simon, Searles
and Graves viii handle the cases for the
town. The suits, it is expected, viii
come up at the next session of county
court.
The accident which caused the death
of Mr.. and Mrs. +. c. Morse took place
shortly after dark when they, with three
others in the car, were returning from
Calais, where they had spent the day
The car, driven by Mr.. Morse, turned
to pass another automobile coming to-
ward them. Getting too near the fence
the car crashed through before Mr. Morse
could pull it into the road. 1t dropped
about ten feet and landed bottom up, the
front seat pinning the victims to the
ground. The others in the party es-
caned with minor injuries.
