.LUSlTANIA CARRIED
NO ARMS OR TROOPS
None Of Liners Load Consid.
cred Explosive, According
TO 0ffiCia! Report.

New York The Cunard liner Lnsi,
tania. sunk by German submarine in
1915 Off the irish coast, carried Meth
er guns, troops nor explosives, but did
carry $500 cases of ammunition, the
official report Of the vessels cargo
made public by Dudley Field Malone,
collector of the port at the time,
shows according to copyrighted
story in the New York World
The cases of ammunition, the re-
port stated, were carried by specific
permission under rulings Of the depart
ment of commerce in force since 1911.
The Malone report, the newspaper
said was made to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo 1t was dated June
A, 1916, and was called for after the
German reply of May 2S to President
Wilson'S first Lusitania note of May
10 had set up the contention the
Lusitania had been armed and that
her rapid sinking was due, not to the
torpedo, but to the explosion of am
muniton.
Mr.. Malone said he had determined
to give out the text of the report be-
cause of still insistent appeals to him
for information regarding its contents.
The report states that when the
Lusitania sailed from New York, on
May /, 1915, on her last trip to Eng
land, she did not have any guns Of
any caliber or description on any
deck, mounted or unmounted, masked
or unmasked.
If any individual reservists of any
nationality sailed on the Lusitania on
this trip they did so as individuals,
paying their own passage and receiv-
ing their own individual tickets.
Referring to the question of the
presence of explosives on the liner,
the report said that the ammunition
set forth as part of the cargo did not
contain explosives within the inter-
probation of the statutes and regula-
lions as interpreted by the depart
ment of commerce in the ruling pre-
viously quoted.

POTHS PATACE

Rex Ingram's claim to film immor- fality is justified again in his re- markable new production ''Trifling Women" which comes to Polls Palace this Sunday night and the three days following presented with some won derful special added features and with aa brilliant program of music syn chronized to the picture by Warde . Johnstone and played by the Palace Symphony orchestra. It is an extra ordinary photoplay. as practically all New ' Ork will attest by reason of its long run at the Astor Theatre there and it tells a dramatic story with all the Ingram attention to detail, re- markably well acted. beautifully set and photogra phed with rare skill.
 Since his epochaI production of 'The Four HorSemen of the Apoca- . lypse" Ingram has made photoplays which have all born the stamp of his genius. And it is the opinion of dis cerning critics that Thrilling Women" surpasses anything he has hitherto accomplished. Four of the players who helped to make s'The Prisoner Of Zenda'' the notable success that it was are seen in this new photodrama. They are Lewis Stone playing a wealthy marsuis who marries a mo- torious siren, Zareda played by Bar flashing Rupert of Hentzau in Zen da'' now a handsome young soldier dn love with Zareda; and Edward Connolly, the sterling actor who is seen as Baron de Maupin'' also enam- pred of Zareda.
 Pomeroy Cameron. the old Mada- : raiga of The Four Horsemen" is seen , in another role and Hugtie Mack, Gene Pouyet, Jim George and Jesse Weldon are other notables of the cast
 A remarkable bit of acting Is fur nished by Joe Martin the intelligent ape.
 Mir. Ingram's dramatic story deals with the fatal power of the beautiful Zareda. a crystal gazer, for whose fla vor men conSpire against each other. An aged Baron loves the siren and when he discovers that his son Ivan is> charmed by her he 4packs him off the presence of the wealthy Marquis Ferroni but in the attempt to poison hirn he himself meets death Zareda marries the Marquis for his money and when Ivan returns their inter rupted affair is resumed The hus- band Is seriously wounded in an en- counter with Ivan and the lovers re- the way.

In The Theatres
MAJESTIC.


 Unlike the hosts of would be imi- tators that have sprung up during the last few years, Twin Beds," which comes for a weeks engagement at the Majestic theatre starting next Mon- . day afternoon, is a true reflex of . everyday apartment life in New York. The same happenings and experiences are just as common today as they were the day this great play made its sensational appearance on Broad way. For this reason, Twin Beds never grows stale There are no i'm possible situations or rough come dy dragged in by the heels to produce laughter at the expense of refinement and good taste.
 Every character in Irwin Beds' is drawn from life. The young hus- band, to be played by Arthur Chat : terdon, weary of club life, tries to settle down. But how about his frivolous and light-minded young wife, to be played by Miss Mia Mac? She is eager to see social life and it's gaie- ties. There is a Irritation, and the train of consequences leads three couples to break up, only to find them selves in the same apartment house.
 Those who have seen Irwin Beds" know that it's worth seeing again as there are new sensations of delight to be explored Those who haven't t been so fortunate to see this comedy masterpiece have an evening of un- alloyed pleasure in store for them. With the splendid forces of the Pon Players and a perfect production, Irwin Beds will usher in the Majes- tics third big week of the season. Today and tonight mark the last times of East is West" the clever and amusing Oriental-American com edy hit which has set all Bridgeport talking its praises No more anus ing or dramatic offering than East is Vest has been seen here in several seasons
