ENTITLED TO BE
CARRIED FREE
Opinion of Counsel for McAdoo Rela-
tive to Stockholders of Brattle-
boro g. Whitehall Road.

Attorney Arthur Y. d. Piper has re-
turned from Washington, where he went
to take up the matter of the free trans
portation of the stockholders of the
Brattleboro & Whitehall Railroad Co. to
Brattleboro to attend their annual meet
ings. The Central Vermont railroad,
which owns the former Brattleboro &
Whitehall road. declined to transport the
stockholders this year because of an or
der of Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo prohibiting all railroads from
carrying passengers free.
The general counsel for Mr.. McAdoo
upheld Mr.. Piper's contention that the
agreement to transport the stockholders
free was part of the purchase price OF
the Brattleboro & Whitehall road and
should be carried out. He stated that il
the Brattleboro & Whitehall and Central
Vermont roads would draw up state
ment as to the value of the transporta
tion he would see that the proper orders
were issued. Attorney Piper will go tt
st. Adams today with this object in view

DIAMONDS FROM IRON.
Sir Charles A. Parsons Tells of Success
full Experiments.

LONDON, May 3,-Real diamonds, ar
tifically made, were exhibited in connection
with the annual May lecture before the
British Institute of Medals The speaker,
Sir Charles A. Parsons, who is widely
known for his work in developing the
turbine engine, told of experiments which
showed that diamonds exist in iron.
The diamonds displayed were few and
small and it was stated that they were
produced at enormous cost. Only the
resources of great engineering works
made the experiments possible. How
ever, the lecturer believed that with the
advance of chemistry and electrical engi
neering it might some day be cheaper tt
make diamonds than dig them.
A method of making diamonds of com
mercial size and quantity was suggested
by Sir Charles His plan was to submit
| a large mass Of iron, alloyed with othe
elements to heat. After the moltel
| metal had set, but when still at temper
ature permeable to gas, it should be sub
jected to carbon monoxide at pressur
of about 1000 atmospheres. Uuder thi
process he believed, segregations formin
into diamonds might take place slowl
| within the mass.
One source of diamonds might be al
tribnted, he said to prehistoric falls {
meteors.

Proceed With $4,000 Cargo.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June To-
Two whalers which arrived here yester-
day reported they had been held up by a
German submarine off Cape Hatteras.
Captain j. T. Gonsalves of the schooner
A. Nj. Nicholson said that on his pleading
with the captain of the U-boat that he
was poor man and that the loss of his
vessel meant ruin, he was allowed to
proceed with his ship and $4,000 cargo
of sperm oil, unharmed.
After leaving the Nicholson, the sub
marine headed for the schooner Elena
Swift, also returning from the whaling
grounds, but before reaching her, the
U-boat commander sighted a steamer
and went after her, sending her to the
bottom.
The mess boy of the schooner Haup-
page, sunk by the German raider, May
25, arrived at his home here yesterday
and said that while he was a prisoner fol
eight days on the U-boat he was told by
the officers that they had sunk on,
whaler laden with oil. This ship, tn,
name of which was not given, was de
stroyed previous to May 25, according t,
the story.

Capt. Mackenzie and 16 Men
of Pinar Del Rio Brought
to New York Today

NORWEGIAN SHIP
Steamer Was Sunk by a Submarine Off
the Coast of Maryland-Chief Mate
and Is Men Landed on North Carolina

NEW YORK, June 10.-Capt. j. Mac
kenzie and 16 members of the crew of
the American steamship Pinar Del Rio,
who have been missing since the ves-
sci was sunk by a German submarine
off the coast of Maryland on June g.,
reached here today on Norwegian
steamship, which rescued them from a
small life-boat about 20 miles off the
coast of New Jersey. All the crew are
thus accounted for as the chief mate
and Is men were landed early this
morning at a life saving station on the
North Carolina coast.
The Pinar del Rio, owned by the
American and Cuban steamship line
incorporated, was built at South Shields
Eng, in 1895, by j. Readhead & Son
She had net tonnage of 1907 and a
length of 306 feet. She was last listed
as leaving an American Atlantic por'

on May Is.

have occurred off the coasts of Mary
land and Virginia, with several of then
due east of Cape Henry. This indicate
that the Uboats are operating over
very limited area, probably of not NOR
than few hundred square miles, but i
a very important shipping lane.
Since it became known that the sub
marines were in this area naval and al
forces have concentrated their effort
there. The task of bagging the Sc
wolves, even in so limited an area
not easy as the vessels can submerg
and lie on the bottom until danger
Ipast. Then, too, the suggestion ha
been made that the craft may have bee
finding refuge at night in the man
coves and inlets along the eastern Vii
ginia shore line and there recharge
batteries and given the crew breatbin
land resting spells.

Rev. E. Q. S. Osgood, pastor of the
Unitarian church, preached the bacca-
laureate sermon to the senior class of
the high school in the Centre Congrega-
tional church last evening. This was
the opening feature of commencement
week and was attended by large con-
gregation. The sermon, which was
based on 2aul's message to Timothy,
was forceful plea to the students to
make the most of their individual tai

by Mrs Helen c. Brasor the prudential
| committee and faculty marched in es-

and Edward Moran, who returned for
the graduating class after the CON-

and the sermon the program consisted
of an invocation by Rev. R. H. Clapp of
