CLAIM LUSITANIA
 CAPTAIN DID NOT
 OBEY, HIS ORDERS

London, Nov. GA Parliamentary paper made public yesterday contain ing secret evidence in the inquiry into the sinking of the Lusitania shows that Capt. W. T. Turner of the Lusi- tania admitted that he disobeyed the instructions of the Admiralty in steaming only at the rate of eighteen knots an hour. The Captain testi- fled, however, that had he gone faster the Lusitania would have reached the bar at Liverpool before the vessel could cross it, owing to tidal condi- tions.
 Capt. Turner also testified that he had not steered a zigazg course at full speed, as the Admiralty had or dered, because he thought this order applied only when a submarine had been sighted.

A despatch from London on July r, 1915, said the court of inquiry into the sinking of the Lusitania found that the liner had been lost as the result of an act of a German submarine, which not only intended to destroy the ship but planned to blot out the lives of its passengers. The decision exonerated Capt. Turner and the Cunard Line from all blame and commented the discipline of the crew The board of inquiry on the first day of Its session interrupted proceedings to permit the court to inquire regarding certain instructions sent by wireless by the Admiralty to Capt Turner.
