An Atlantic Port, Sept. .22-The big
Atlantic Transport liner Minnehaha,
which was sunk by a German subma-
rine Sept. Z, went down in four min
utes after being torpedoed, according

who arrived here today on an Ameri-
can steamship from a British port.
Mr.. Clark said the sinking occurred
in Bantry bay a few minutes after
noon, according to information given
to him by a number of the survivors
Immediately after landing.
Numerous tales of heroisIn on the
part of the captain, Frank Claret, COM
mander of the Minnehaha and other
officers were related by the survivors,
Mr. Clark said. Chief Officer Albany
lost his life aiding members of the
crew struggling in the water, after he
had given his own 1ifebelt to dis
abled fireman. c.. A. Wills, the pur-
ser, was crushed to death between one
Of the lifeboats and the side of the
ship as the boat was being launched
Captain Claret, Mr.. Clark said, per-
sonauy rescued several of his men by
plunging overheard from lifeboa1
and swimming with them to safety. He
only desisted in his efforts when over
come by exhaustion and he himself
was pulled from the water. AS a mark
of appreciation for his bravery, the
survivors of the ship presented to him
a handsome clock. Mr.. Clark con-
fIrmed cable reports of loss of life

Amsterdam. Sept. 22-The German
reply to Pope Benedict's peace pro-!
posal declares special measures taken
by the government in closest contact
with the representatives of the Ger-j
man people to discuss answering thas

Holiness clearly expresses the convic-S
ton that the future material power
of arms must be superseded by the
moral power of right.
Continuing, the reply says that Ger.

Of arbitration to decide interna .ional

spect Germany is ready to support
every proposal compatible with the
vital interests of the German empire

who had been in Lough Swi1ly.
+ The five vessels, 1t was said, con-
voyed by the destroyers, put to sea

attacked by massed submarines al
daylight the following morning. The
news of the disaster was learned
when the destroyers which escaped
put back to port bringing survivors OF
the torpedoed mercha ntmen and wal
vessels.
"The closest secrecy was imnedi-
ately thrown about the incident" the
merchant ship officer said. 1.-THE sur.
vivors were given positive instruc
tions to say nothing about it, and ns
details as to the names of the ship'

learned. 1t was reported that one
t and possibly two OF the U boats wer,
sunk by the destroyers." ;

RECEIVER ASKED
FOR PLANT TIED
UP in LITIGATION
Assets of Elliott Cornwall
Mfg. Co., Said To Be In
Danger Of Waste.

On the ground that the conocrn has
borrowed all the money it can and
owes $4,000, receivership proceedings
have been asked for the E1liott-Corn-
wall Manufacturing Co. of this city.
Judge Walsh of the common pleas
court has appointed Jacob Nilsson of
the A. H. Nilsson Machine Co. temper
ary receiver under bonds of $4,000,
according to papers filed today.
It is represented that the Elliott
Cornwall Co. manufactures metal
goods and is capitalized at $15O,000.
All it's assets are tied up in machinery
and raw materials and although the
assets are in excess of the liabilities
the liabilities are in danger of waste
through litigation.
Elliott owns 1,497 shares of the
stock and the Nilsson Co. is a creditor
to the extent of $4,000. The petit
tion asks the court to appoint a re-
ceiver and dissolve the company but
the temporary receiver has been
given authority to continue the busi-
ness for the present. There will be
hearing on the company's affairs
Oct. when two appraisers will be
appointed.

Bridgeports second draft, based on
the announcement that 100000 men
will be taken by the government wild
not be made from the $4,000 names
registered here unless the aliens are
taken and every district Is exhausted
of men who might have gone In
third or fourth draft but for the large
number of exemptions and physical
disabilities allowed.
This is the view taken by officials In
charge of the draft work following
a preliminary canvass Of the situation.
1t has been found that 13, SAT names,
approximately. have been called for
examination to obtain Bridgeport
quota of 2,126, which has not fully
been certified.
OF this number it is estimated that
between 40 and SO per cent. were
aliens, subject to draft under the new
law pending, but not alien enemies.
Whatever the result Of the alien
draft law, there will be no district In
Bridgeport where the last mans name
will not be drawn for physical exam
ination and in some districts which
have an abnormal number of aliens
men will be required from other dis.
tricts to fill Bridgeport's quota.
| Beginning shortly after Oct. 4,when
the next 40 per cent. has been sent tc
the army, the governmental drag net
will be drawn tighter.
/ Draft officials point to the fact that
the effect Of permitting men to avoid
the draft by Failure to respond to ex-
aminations and by failure to appear
as their quotas depart would have
such an influence upon future drafts
as to make the work of INSPECTION al
most Impossible. For this reason the

INTRIGUE PLANS
Try to Determine Where
$4,000 Influence"
Money Went.

Washington, Sept. 22,-Chairman
Flood of the house foreign affairs
committee, declared today after con-
ferring with Secretary Lansing, that
he thought there probably would be a
house investigation Of Count Won
Bernstorffs plans to influence congress
by sending $50, 900, as revealed in his
dispatches to Berlin.
After his conference with Chairman
Flood, Secretary Lansing authorized
the following statement:
IF there is any Misunderstanding
wish to say very emphaticaEy do
not see how the Bernstorff message
in any way reflects upon congress or
amy member. Apparently 1t was the
purpose to employ, agencies to infiu-
ence them, of which they would have
no knowledge and in case they were
influenced would be entirely innocent
I do not know what the organization
was. This expose is apropo of Ger
man methods of peace propa paganda and
there is no intention of casting sus-
picion on members of congress-
Secretary Lansing sees little that a
congressional inquiry could develop,
but charges made on the floor yester-
day by Representative Hefiin OF Ala
DaulAs tnaL certain members have
acted suspiciot1sly'' and yelled accu-
sations made by other representatives
in interviews probably will force an
investigation, Mr. Flood said.
After returning to the capitol from
the state department Mr.. Flood be-
gan conferences with House leaders

inquiry. He declared that Secretary

Pope Benedict Advocates
Suppression of German
Militarism to End War

Rome, Sept. 22.-Cardinal Gasparri,
the papal secretary of state, last night ;
emphasized to the Associated Press
the views of the vatican regarding
solution of the war by the suppress
sion of consumption and also a joint
commercial boycott of any nation
which refused to disarm, the occasion
being the publication in the Italia, OF
Milan, of an article on the peace plan
of the Holy See It is evident from
the article that the vatican aspires to
suppress German n1ilitarism by secur-
ing a peace treaty requiring the per-
manent disarmament of that nation.
The Italia declared that the Holy
See in it's call for peace out of a. feel-
ing Of delicacy towards the bellger-
ent powers, would not indicate prac-
teal means by which to obtain and;
maintain disarmament, leaving the
nations to decide the means; but Car
dinal Gasparri said the Holy See ia
convinced that among all the plans
suggested so far the only practical and
possible one is the following:
by an accord among the civilized
nations, including neutrals, to sup
press obligatory military service, to
institute an arbitration tribunal and,
as a guarantee, to direct a general
boycott against nations which aEain
attempt to introduce CONSUMPTION or
which refuse to submit international
questions to- arbitration or accept it's
decisions, a. guarantee which Lord
Robert Cecil (British parliazn entary

It appears that false teeth plates
are valuable and the business OF trao-

being much more valuable than gold
and harder to obtain than ever today
the business of gathering the plati-
