TO PROBE CHARGE OF fJEGLECTJM LUSITANIA BY HERBERT TEMPLE. European Manager of the International News LONDON, May 10 With 724 survivor of the destroyed Cunard liner Lusitania safe on land, and 144 bodies of victim recovered, the work oT searching the seas for the missing, more than one thousand In number, was carried on today by a fleet of warships, tags and trawler off the south coast of Ireland. . . While survivors, now recovered from the daze lnte wrucn we first shock and horror of the disaster had plunged them, spoke bitteriy of the j way the Lusltanla had been handled before and after the calamity, the i British government was setting in motion the official machinery for a drastic and far-reaching Investigation. This investigation will be conducted under the auspices of the Bosrd of Trade and will probably be directed by Lord Mersey of the admiralty. The liner St. Paul, which passed the-

scene of the disaster yesteraay, reported bv wireless that she had sight ed many corpses about twenty miles west of Kinsdale. It Is believed that the St. Paul did not pick up any of the bodies, leaving them to the rescue fleet that was cruising in the vicinity. Survivors, both Americans and British, who have arrived in London, severely criticised the manner in which the Lusitania was handled, both by the admiralty and officials of the Cunard line. List of Complaints. These complaints summed up briefly follow: 1. That the Lusitania instead of being kept at top speed as she neared the Irish coast, slowed down, thus making her easy prey for the German submarines lying in wait for her. 2. That no convoy was placed over the Lusitania by the admiralty, despite the known presence of German submarines 1n Irish waters and the threats that had been made to destroy the liner, 3. That officers of the Lusitania failed to drill the passengers in the system to be followed in the case of disaster and that officers on the ship bid the seriousness of the ship's dam age from passengers up to the last minute, assuring them there was no danger. Points in Inquiry. A report of the admiralty in an ewering the first accusation declared that the Lusitania's captain, W. T. Turner, was justified in reducing his speed while traveling through the steamer line south of Ireland because of the presence of mines. The chief lines of inquiry to be pursued in the government investigation pre these: 1. Did Captain Turner exercise the proper safeguards for his ship, knowing the presence of German submarines? 2. What amount of responsibility rests upon the admiralty for not furnishing a convoy of warships for the liner? GRAY REFUSES COMMENTS ON NATION'S CRISIS "I have absolutely nothing to say in regard to the Lusitania incident. I do not think it would be proper for me to discuss the affair." This was the only statement Representative Pihly Gray would make today when questioned over the long distance telephone as to what he thought would be the result of the great sea tragedy. He also refused to discuss the possibility of President Wilson calling an extra session of congress. "Don't you think you have made a mistake in advocating a policy calling for only a moderate increase in our naval establishment?" was asked Mr. Gray, who was the champion of the "little navy" faction of the house naval affairs committee during the last session of congress. "You will find that I always advocated the maintenance of the navy on a basis adequate for national defense but not for aggression," he replied. Mr. Gray and an influential group of representatives made a vigorous and successful fight against authorizing the naval increase as recommended by the navy board, the program advocated by that body being cut practically in half. BOWLES WOMAN HELD FOR LARCENY Edna Bowles, whose name was mentioned in connection with two other women sentenced last week for immoral conduct, was arrested yesterday on a charge of petit larceny. One of the women sent to the women's jail said the Bowles woman had taken jewelry belonging to her. The Bowles woman admitted this, but said she had taken it for safe keeping until her associate was released from jail. The charge against her was dismissed when she promised to leave the city before next Saturday. PIMPLY? WELUDON'T BE! People Notice It.

OILING Or STREETS

WILL BEGIN NEXT MONDAY OR TUESDAY Next Monday or Tuesday the city will begin work on oiling the forty or more blocks for which petitions have been filed. John McMinn of the board of public works made this announcement today. Tuesday or Wednesday this week the street sweeper ordered by the board will arrive, and the latter part of the week the street oiling wagon will arrive from Eaton. Today the board gave the contract for supplying 21,000 gallons, more or less, of street oil to the Indiana Re-i fining company on a bid of 2.97 cents per gallon. The H. W. Curry company entered a bid of ?3.18 cents, per gallon and the bil of the Western Oil Refining Company was, not read, the company having neglected to inclose a certified check with it. This bid, it is understood, was the lowest of the three. Streets oiled by the city will be paid for by the benefited property owners at the actual cost of the oil, 2.97 a gallon, the cheapest rate property owners ever received for such w ork. Begin on Good Streets. "We do not know as yet on what street we will start the oiling work, but streets which are in the best repair will be finished first, giving us time to repair other streets which are to be oiled," Mr. McMinn said. Property owners on South Fifth street between Main 'and South A streets have expressed a preference for brick paving the board of works today awarded the contract for the paving of that block to Cronin and Meredith, who were the lowest bidders on brick paving. West Fifth street, the board has decided, will be repaired and placed in a first class condition from Richmond ave. to National ave. The street car company has"' instrtfeted the city to improve that part of the street In its right of way and present the company with the bill. A. petition was received today for making a cement roadway in the first alley south of State street from Sheridan street to the west end of. the alley but the board decided not to act on " this until it, has been ascertained what disposition is to be made of the resolution recently adopted for the paving of Sheridan street. ADDING DEVICE PLANT LEASES ISERMAN SHOP Richmond Capitalists Take Blocks of Stock in New Company Which Prepares Papers of Incorporation. The Iserman Veneer Door factory in. Beallview is undergoing changes in preparation for the manufacture of adding machines, it was learned today. Work on the factory started this moning. The names of the backers of the company have not been made public. A number of local persons are heavy stockholders, it is said. Incorporation papers are being drawn up now and as soon as a name for the new machine is decided on, the company will incorporate under the Indiana state laws. The new company will compete with the Burroughs and other big adding machine companies. The machine is a new invention which can be made at a lower cost than those of the established concerns. Some skilled labor will be brought hee from other factories and fine mechanics will be used in assembling the machines. The extent of manufacturing the company will engage in, is not known. The Iserman factory is a big two story building, which will accommodate a big concern. The reorganization of the Iserman Veneer Door Manufacturing company is now at a standstill. Whether the facory will be opened again in another building, is unknown. Much of the stock required to start operations, has been subscribed. THIRTY DAYS FOR STEALING CLOTHES Burney Newton of Cambridge City pleaded guilty in circuit court today to the theft of a suit case from an interurban a month ago and was sentenced to thirty days in jail and given a $1 fine. The suit case was stolen while the car was entering Cambridge City. It was owned by Everett Davis and Lester Taggart, members of the Earlham glee club. The charge was petit larceny. The suit case contained a dress suit, sweater and other wear ing apparel.

When the inquest over five victims of the Lusitania disaster was resumed this afternoon Coroner Horgan made the following statement: "I shall ask the jury to return the only verdict possible: ' That the crew of the German submarine which sank the Lusitania was guilty of wilful murder." At the inquest it was brought out that the second torpedo fired from the submarine tube went through the liner. Vernon Livermore, bugler, testified that all the liner's airtight compartments were closed, but that they had probably been burst by the explosion and the inrushing water. PROPOSE 6 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL Whether a six-year course should be substituted for the present fouryear course in the high .school, is one of the questions' which has been brought up before the high school commission of Indiana which held a meeting Saturday afternoon in the office of Superintendent Greathouse at Indianapolis, according to Principal F. G. Pickell of Richmond, who attended the session. Mr. Pickell declined to add any statement to the original announcement, saying that the suggestion had merely been offered and no definite action has been taken In regard to it by the commissioners. The treaty of peace after the; Franco-Prussian war was signed May 10, 1871, at Frankfort-on-the-Main.

Count Kalman Czaky Koroszejhi and Adorjan, nephew of. the

archbishop of Vienna, hereditary governor ot a .Hungarian province and a distant relative of Count Szechenyl, who married Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, has taken the dictum of his American wife, the former Mrs. Maud Howard Bryan, and has returned to New York after an absence of several years to try and earn a living just like an ordinary American husband. According to the story that followed him here from San Francisco, the Count had come here with instructions to "make good." There is no intention on either side to remain permanently separated, much less seek a divorce. It is merely a mutual agreement that in America it is not fitting that a man should live on his wife's income. The Count, is not saying a word about his troubles and, as far

BY LAWRENCE ELSTON, International News Service Staff Correspondent. QUEENSTOWN, May 10. More than five hundred passengers and sailors on the Lusitania are believed to have been killed or injured so badly they were rendered helpless by the explosion which followed the impact of the second torpedo fired by the German submarine against the liner.

"While I was swimming about after the ship had disappeared I saw the periscope of the submarine rise amidst the debris," said he. "Instead of offering any help the submarine immediately submerged herself and I saw nothing more of her." Hit by Two Torpedoes. Captain Turner further verified the earlier statements that the Lusitania had 1366 struck by two torpedoes. "I did everything possible for my passengers. That was all I could do," was keeling over on her side and set tling in the water with tumult reigning on her decks, there was one man on the ship who stuck grimly at his task, swayed neither by panic nor fear. He was David McCormick, a wireless operator, who sent out the distress calls which gave the first notice to the outSide wrld of the greatest sea disaster which has occurred since the outbreak of war. "I heard a thud and almost instantly the ship began to list," declared McCormick, a young Scotchman. '"I did not know we had been torpedoed, but I knew a hole had been knocked in the ship for we were settling over in the water. Involuntarily my hand closed over the key and I flashed out the international call for help that all men of the sea know and dread, "S O S "'. ! 8 KRESGE MANAGERS INVESTIGATE PLANS TO IMPROVE STORE To permit of the betterment of dis- j plays, merchandise, efficiency and i general management in the syndicate1 of the S.

Ml Sheridan street, and; dropping forty feet down the side of the steep river chlf into the valley. ; Mr. Hines met with the fatal acci-1 dent about S o'clock Saturday morn- . ing. but the body was not found until nearlv 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and his faithful dog was the one responsible for the finding of the body In the morning Mr. Hines left the kitchen with a bucket of ashes. Stand ing on the brink of the steep river j ; bank he lost his balance in some way and plunged to his death. The dog was j with him at the time, and he at once, attempted to attract the attention of j the members of the family to the place j where his master's mangled body re-; posed. The dog would go to the kitch- , en, bark frenziedly, then disappear i down the river bank. Time and again ! he repeated his strange actions. Fi- j nally one of the members of th-? fam- i ily, apprehensive because of Mr. Hines long absence from the house, followed ; the dog and was horrified to find Mr. j Hines' body. Apparently he had been i dead several hours. Since the recovery of his master's body the dog. it is said, has shown that he keenly realizes he has lost his best friend, and sits by his bier with drooping head, refusing to respond to any advances made to him. and eating little or nothing.
