ABOUT ADVERTISING

Under the above caption the T.etoria ColoniSt says editorially:
 Why should nora professional man advertise fl, he wants to? There is q lot of humbug about so-called profes- sionai ethics which constitute sort of uawritten code devised by established practitioners to make the way hard for the feet of the beginner. The Col onist has had many years experience with human affairs, but two things it has never observed. It has never known professional man to object 10 having his name mentioned in con nection with a case with which he has been connected. nor 70 protest against is having been mentioned in such q connection.

Cheer Last Woman
to Leave I.aconia
After Torpedoing

Queenstown, Feb. 27-After being
landed here Father Wareing and Mr..
Gibbors said the voyage was a pleas
ant one up to the time of it's fatal
termination. About 10:3O o'clock
Sunday night, they said, they were
startled by the explosion of the first
torpedo which struck the ship on the
starboard side by the stern. The ves-
sci kept steady and the crew, with
magnificent discipline, got out the
boats and provided the passengers
with life belts. All hands took to the
boats, the passengers first.
It was shortly afterward that the
second torpedo was fired, striking the
Laconia amidships. The vessel sank
in about IL minutes.
The wireless on the Laconia sent
out call for help. After about six
hours the boats were picked up. Mrs.
F. E. Harris, wife of. an American
army officer, was cheered loudly by
the other survivors on landing. She
was the last woman to leave the ship.

THREE CITY COPS
ARE ASSIGNED TO
STANLEY'S PLANT
Commissioner Sees That
American & British Fac
tory Is Well Guarded

If no other factory in the city is to
be adequately guarded against the
dangers of war cranks, John T.. STAN
ley Of the police board. has arranged
to protect the American & British Co,
an organization of which he is presi-
dent.
Four policemen have been assigned
to guard duty. One is stationed at
the Bridgeport Brass Co., and the
other three are assigned to the Amer
lean & British Co. Whether or not
the corporation is paying for the ser
vices Of the policemen is not known.
Recently, Supt. Redgate stated that
firms wanting policemen as guards
must pay for them. Later he stated
that no police had been assigned to
cover factories. Stanley, a few days
afterwards. admitted that policemen
were guarding plants in the city.

Survivors of Laconia Endan-
gered When Submarine
Fires Second Shot at Liner
Small Boats Plainly Wis

San Francisco Doctor De-
clares That Lives of Many
Were Imperilled By Ruth
less Act Survivors Land
at Queenstown.

Queenstown, Feb. 27-Six passen-
gers of the sunken Cunarder Laconia
are among those sent to hospitals
here. Their injuries are slight.
Among the number is DR.. Hawke, a
resident of San Francisco. who said he
was playing a game of bridge in the
ships surgeons room when he heard
an awful crash and guessed that the
ship had been attacked by a subma-
rine He said the first torpedo
struck the steamer aft on the star
board side and everyone made for the
life preservers. The passengers had
previously been Instructed in boat
drill and got into the boats without
panic. Hawke said that all behaved
we'll and that the discipline was ex-
cellent. He continued:
: The submarine returned after we
had been in the boats and fired
another torpedo, which put out the
lights and was followed by terrific
explosion and the ship must have
sunk soon afterward. The second
torpedo, mind you, was fired although
the lifeboats were close to the vessel
and the crew of the submarine could
not have failed to see us, as it was
moonlight. It was about $3.50 p. m.
on Sunday when we took to the boats
and about 3 o'clock on the following
morning when we were picked up
The Laconia was torpedoed in COM
paratively calm weather. The first
torpedo Struck her near the stern
and when the vessel was struck a
second time she listed quickly to star
board. The boats got away with
a considerable difficulty but there was
no panic among the passengers or
crew The smallness of the loss of
life was due to the excellent discip-
line of the crew and the orderliness
of the passengers.
A steamer arriving here early today
brought 267 survivors who were res
cued from eight boats. The passen-
gers versions of the number lost diff
fer. Some say rs were drowned and
others not more than 10. Among
those known to be lost are Mrs. and
Miss Hoy, Americans. Four Ameri-
cans are among the surviving passen-
gers, one of whom is the Rev. Joseph
Wareing of Baltimore, who was COM
pletely exhausted when brought
ashore.
Apparently two small parties of the
Laconias survivors, apart from the
main body, have been landed, Is at
Bantry and about the same number
elsewhere. The steamer that rescued
the bulk of those aboard the Cunarder
carried also the survivors of the sun
ken British steamer Falcon and IA
menab bers of the crew of another lost
British vessel.
The bodies of the eight persons
who died were consigned to the deep.
Among the Laconia's firemen were 16
American negroes.

Submarine Captain
Told Survivors Aid
Has Been Summoned

Lndon, Feb. 27-Wesley Frost, the
American consul in Cork. in his re-
port to the American embassy here
regarding the sinking of the Laconia,
says:
"The submarine was not seen from
the Laconia, but after the second tor
pedo had been fired and the boats
launched, a submarine appeared on
the surface, came alongside the boat
containing the second officer and ask
ed for the captain.
1.-THE submarine commander told
the people in the second offlcer's boat
that a British admiralty patrol had
caught the Laconia's wireless and was
coming to the scene. The submarine
made no offer to aid and submerged

Obscured In Dense Fog.

Altoona, Pa, Feb. 27-At
least 60 persons were killed
when the eastbound Mercantile
express on the Pennsylvania
railroad was run into early to-
day by a fast preference freight
train at the station at the little
. mountain town of Mount I'm
ion, 43 miles east Of here. Sew
.eral others were injured. Those
most seriously hurt were TAX
en- to Huntingdon, 12 miles
west of Mount Union.
The accident occurred shortly after
midnight and the bodies were so badly
mangled that this forenoon only 13
had been identified. They are:
Chester A. Minds, Ramey, Pa: his
wife, child, nephew and two ndeces.
Miss Maude Minds, sister OF O. A.

T. N Bright, the porter.
By checking UP tickets, however, it
was established that of the others
three were from Pittsburgh, three
from Altoona, one from Birmingham,
ILL.,, and two from points in Wiscon-
sin.
The express train had stopped to
discharge passengers at Mount Union
and members Of the crew were test
ing the air brakes when, without
warning, the heavy freight crashed
into the passenger train from the
rear. A dense fog prevailed.
There were three sleepers attached
to the Mercantile express, all Of
steel construction. AS the freight en-
gine, ,sbacked by heavy train, plowed
into the passenger train, the rear
coach Of the latter telescoped the
second passenger coach, which was
split asunder by the terrific impact.
The freight engine was literally weld
ed to the passenger car.
None of the passenger coaches left
the track, but six of the freight cars
went down 4O-foot embankment.
Little headway could be made in
recovering the, dead and injured,
owing to the three steel coaches being
almost inextricably mashed together.
An examination Of the wreck showed
that the third sleeper had split apart
and that the car ahead was forced
clear through it. while. the third car
