They tell me that the committee has ilonu
excellent work over there and that there
Is much enthusiasm over the campaign.
That sounds good to me,"
Sunday and "Ma" both expressed dis
appointment In not being able to see
more than a few feet from the car win
dow while Journeying thiough Philadel
phia, becausa of the snowstorm. They
said they liad looked forward with much
anticipation to another chance to view
a little of the town while passing
through.
Notwithstanding tho storm, the Chi
cago Limited was nlmost on schedule,
and It pulled out of Broad Street Station
foj- New York very little behind time.
Mr, and Mrs. Sunday and one or two
members ot their party who joined them
while en route east, are to leave the

LONDON. Apill S.
Torpedoed during the night by a. Ger

Lockwood sank off Start Point, Devon,
but all her cicw were picked up. He
ports from Mlddlosborough telling of tho
sinking of the Lockwood say that the
vessel was attacked without warning
and sank within eight minutes after she
una torpedoed.
The sailors ot the Lockwood weto res
cued by u fishing smack early today after
they had rowed about for several hours.
The Lockwood was a steel ship of 11)3
tons, built in 1S3C. and was commanded
by Captain H.'H. Ilenson.
The Norwegian bark Nor, which was
attacked by n German submarine on
Thursday, was still afloat but bunting
21 hours later, according to a dispatch
recoived from Amsterdam today. It said
that tho captain of a trawler which ar
rived at Ymuldon reported having seen
tho Nor on Friday In latitude EG.17 north
and longitude 5.H east In the North Sea.
Tho Nor was then burning fiercely and
her deck wns nearly level with tho water,
Indicating that she would soon go down
The captain and seven of the crew of
the Dutch steamship Sch(cland have
reached Hull with the news of the loss
of their ship. Tho Schlelaud was steam
ing Thursday In the North Sea at a point
about 21 miles from Spurn, on the east
coast of England, near -the entrance to
the number River, when a terrific ex
plosion occurred underneath her. The
ship began to sink rapidly. Tho crew
took to her small boatu and got away
Just before she went down. The captain
believes he struck u mine, and fears that
another small boat with seven of his
crew In It was lost. Sho has not been
heard front.
The Schlelaud had a net tonnage of Cjl
and was built In 1909. Sho was 221 feet
In length, 33 feet beam and 12 feet depth.
Jler home port was Kotterdatn.
The boat, In which were her captain
and seven of her crew, was picked up
several hours after tho Schlelaud had
gone down.
All Knglnnd Is Indignant over the de
struction of the Type trawlers. On every
side cornea the positive assertion that
Germany has deliberately violated a pro
vision of The Hague Convention of 1207,
which expressly prevents fishing vessels
from molestation.
Turning to avoid a buoy thought to be
a German submarine, the oil tanker Trln
culo crashed head-on into the Liverpool
steamship Chldwall, In Bristol Channel,
Friday night. The Chldwall was sunk by
the collision, but her crew was rescued
by the Trinoulo and landed at Newport

MISS M.E. GARRETT,
OFBRYNMAWR,DEAD
College Director SUccumbs to
Blood Poisoning After Three
Weeks' Illness.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Garrett, a member
of the boaid of directors of Uryn Mawr
College and wealthy Baltimore philan
thropist, died at the Deanery of that
institution at G:30 o'clock this morning
after an Illness ot some weeks, which
doctors diagnosed as blood poisoning.
Miss Garrett has long been a promi
nent figure at the college, and her deatlt
came as n great shock to officials rinu
students of the Institution, who had not
realized the seriousness of her ailments,
for although sho was Vi years old she
had taken an active interest in all that
went 011 at the college, and had been a
"mother' to many of ho girls when
sluk ot in trouble.
Although Miss Garrett has lived al
most continuously at the college since
she was appointed a. director of tltat in
stitution. In I'M, she also had a home in
Baltimore, where she founded the Bryn
Mawr School for Girls, u, preparatory
school to Bryn Mawr College, This mag
ntlicent building stands at Cathedral and
Preston streets, one of many testimonials
to her keen Interest In education,
Ono of the most potable accomplish
ments credited to Miss Garrett was her
successful nght to open the doors of
Johns Hopkins UuntverBlty to women who
desired to study medicine. Owing to the
attitude ot the officials of that Institu
tion, it was predicted, that this 6tep
would never be realized, but Miss Gar
rett's determination and perseverance
accomplished her purpose after unceeas
Ing efforts covering a period of several
years. '
Mss Garrett was a sister to Hubert
Garrett, of Baltimore, whose wife Is now
Mrs. Henry Barton Jacqbs. prominent
anions the summer colony at Newport
It was announced this a(tmoon that
the body would be sent Immediately to
Baltimore, and that the funeral services
