Prominent Persons Re
ceive Telegrams Warning
That Cunarder Will Be
Torpedoed Unknown
Men Add to Terror.
NEW YOniv. May 1. A wave of terror
swopt. over tho Cunard liner Lusltanla
Justbeforo snlllng tlmo today, when 60
anonymous telegrams, addressed to prom
inent persons who had taken passage on
tho ship, warned them that the vessel
would bo torpedoed and sunk before she
reached Liverpool.
Almost as soon as the messages had
been delivered a number of mysterious
men.-whoso nccents were foreign, passed
among the passengers nnd their relatives
and friends upon the Cunard pier, whis
pering that "death would accompany tho
Lusltanla on this voyage."
"Don't go," was the mysterious warn
ing. "Tha ship will never reach Liver
pool. It Is death."
Among tho passengers on tho Lusltanla
wero Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt, Elbert
Hubbard: D. A. Thomas, a multl-mllllon-alre
coal mine owner of Wales; Charles
Frohman, Lady Mackworth and Charles
Klein, the playwright.
The warning message spread through
the crowd with the quickness of wildfire.
Yet, when search was mado for the men
who had given the warning not one could
be found. However, the telegrams were
there and, whllo the words of these mes
sagea.wcre not Identical, alt conveyed tho
same warning.
Mr Vanderbllt as among the recip
ients or telegraphic warnings. Ills tele
gram read; ,
"Cancel passage at once. Have learned
on the best of authority that the Lusl
tanla Is to be torpedoed." "MORTE."
Relatives of persons who had booked
passage pleaded with them not to sail.
Tha usual gaiety which accompanies tho
departure of a ship was entirely lacking.
The anxiety was helehtened when It was
learned that the Anchor liner Cameronlan
had canceled ner sailing ai mo ibbi jinn-
ute.

Hold-up on Shamokin
Railway.
SHAMOKIN, Pa., May l.-Wlth only
false mustaches as disguises, two men,
armed with revolvers, held up a car on
the Shamokin and Edgewood Railway In
broad daylight today, terrorized and shat
at passengers, and got away with 3565,
tho payrol of the 200 employes of the J.
H. and C. K. Eagle Inc. silk mills at
Trenton, seven mlle3 west of her. The
attack was made on the top of lonely
Mount Poco, half way between this bor
ough and Trevorton.
Two of the passengers, Harry Dankle
berger and Harry"Straub, grappled with
ono of tho bandits, but his companion
covered them with a revolver nnd they
let him go. II. R. Smith, of Pottavllle,
then tackled the bandits, but one of them
tired nt him and then beat him with the
butt of his pistol. They then tied Smith
to his seat and took the bag of money
which was hidden under the controller
box.
Twenty passengers wero on the car,
which waa In charge of Conductor Wal
ter Gable and Motorman Harry Dun
kleberger. The bag containing the
money was taken aboard at 9:30 a. m.
It was placed behind the controller nt
the front of the car.
When tho car reached tho top of
Muont Poco, In a densely wooded sec
tion of country and miles from a house,
the men stepped out In front of the car.
The motorman said he though they
wanted to ride Into Trevorton, and
stopped.
Boarding It, one at the front and the
other the back, the men flourished reoU
vers and ordered all to leave the car.
The passengers started to comply when
Smith struck at one of the robbers with
his first. The desperado fired at the trav
eling man. The ball grazed Smith's head,
who. In order to escape death, fall' and
pretended ho was dead.
After successfully meeting tha resist
ence of the two other passengers, the
bandits chased all off but Smith, and
sent the car speeding ahead for a quarter
of a mile. There they beat Smith and
tied him fast to a tree with a piece of
the trolley rope and disappeared In a
thicket.
Police here believe tha crime to be
the work of local crooks, who knew of
the fact that the Bilk mill payroll money
was sent weekly from Shamokin to
Trevorton. Those on the car declare that
the thieves were not more than 3Q years
old. They wore shabby clothes, they said.
