A young- and pretty Irish girl collapsed
In the offices of the Cunard Line this
morning1, when sha was unable to learn
anything of her sweetheart, an engineer
on the Luiltanla. Sho told officials In
the office that sha wished to learn whether
Patrick Collins, tho engineer, had been
saved.
Whon they could glvo her no assurance
that he had been among the rescued she
became hysterical, and collapsed In the
arms of her mother, who took her away
before her name could bo ascertained.
Collins, sha said, lived In the neighbor
hood of 15th street and Glenwood avenue,
but aha was too much wrought up to
be able to glva tha exact address.
The first to learn the good news of
rescue waa Mrs. Samuel M. Knox, who
had been prostrated by foar for her hus
band. She received a telegram from
Queenstown at 9 o'clock this morning
with the one word "safe." Mr, Knox, who
Is president of the New York Shipbuild
ing Company, of Camden, was on tha
Lusltanla, going abroad on business. Mrs.
Knox sat through an art play In tha
Stevena School. 221 West Chelten avenue,
Germantown, yesterday afternoon In utter
Ignorance of the fact that tho Lusltanla
had been torpedoed. Her daughter, Mlsa
Jean Knox, was participating In the play,
which was directed by Miss Violet Oakley,
ftn artist.
Miss uamey received a message lemng
of the disaster early In the afternoon, but
refrained from telling Mrs. Knox, de
ciding to await confirmation of the report
rather than causa her friend possibly
needlesa anxiety. When the play was
over Miss Oakley told Mrs. Knox, who
returned weeping to her home, 310 West
Upsal street, Pelham. At hor home sha
collapsed, and a physician was summoned.
Sha spent a sleepless night, begging for
nawa and constantly talking of the dis
aster, fearing that the worst had been
learned and was being kept from her.
Early this morning word came that her
husband was amonr the survivors.
BIO CONCERNS REPRESENTED.
Three large Industrial concerns of thla
elty had representatives on tha Lusltanla
when aha left New- York. Besides Mr.
Knox, "William Sterling Hodges, tha Parts
representative of Baldwin's Locomotive
TVorbe. and Paul Crompton, vice presi

were on tha big liner. Mr. Crompton was

business partner of Mr. Crompton In tha

a cablegram in reply to his Inquiries,
stating merely that there Is at present
no Indication that the Cromptons have

complete. Mr. Crompton, who Is an Eng
lishman by birth, came to this city nine
years ago. Since then his homo baa been
In Chestnut Hill. His decision to return
to England was not related In any way
to the war. It was his intention, to make
frequent trips to this city, though nls

Gressner, of 10th and Cumberland streets.
McFADDEN CANCELED PASSAGE.
Others hnd not hnd tho confidence of
Sir. Hodges that tho torpedoing of tho
liner was nn Impossibility. John II. Mo
Faddan, millionaire cotton broker of this
city, had engaged passngo on tho Lusl
tanla, but had canceled It because he had
a premonition of disaster.
Tho Rev. Basil W. Mattirln, of Oxford
University, who, two weeks ago, won tho
guest of Mrs. Caldwell Rlvlnus, 2110 De
Lancoy place, sailed on tho Lusltnnla.
Ho Is widely known In Philadelphia, hav

Clement's Protestant Episcopal Church.

ber of tha Anglican High Church com
munity known as tho Society of St. John

Charles H. Robinson, who was employed
by tho Walkover Shoo Company, hnd
lived In Tulpehocken street, Germantown,
for the last year. Ho was ordered abroad
to toko chargo of tho company's Rogcnt

much of the tlmo at the Phi Delta Theta

It Is believed that Mr. Keser's visit to
England had something to do with tho
reported orders said to have been given
tho Baldwin Locomotive Works for war
munitions. Samuel Vauclaln, vice presi

Philadelphia National Bank. Alba B.

Mr. Rue anxiously awaited news of tha

When summer approaches the thoughts
of Joseph Eager, turn to woodland and
stream, He yearna to live In the open
and be strenuous. Fagen became espe
cially enthusiastic In this direction today
after he had a few drinks. He tried to
buy a rowboat in the neighborhood of
Front and Gtrard avenue, and was much
depressed to find that none of the store
keepers thersabouts had any In stock.
The sight of two brooms lying beside a
small box gave Fagen an Idea.
He dragged the box and brooms to the
middle of the strast. Then Jumping in
the box, he used the brooms for oars,
and In fanoy rowed at a rapid rate down
the Imaginary stream. Numerous young
ster encouraged him and all was going
well until a big battleship In tha shape of
a trolley car happened along.
Fagen was Informed that be was In
the Rapid Transit sone, but he Ignored
he car's pilot and kept rowing. Police
man Evans, who was attracted by the
crowd, sought to bring about peace, but
his effort were futile, so be comman
deered tba craft of Fagen and took him
to the Front and Master streets station.
Faxen tried to Impress Magistrate
Scott with the fact that he was on the
water wagon, but the Judge was some

It Is generally agreed that one can find
trouble quickly by shaking a red rag In
front of a bull, but William Evans found
It Just as speedily today by another
means. Evans became Imbued with the
Idea that ha had been especially selected
to bring about peace among the warring
nations of Europe. He obtained a clothes
prop, to which he attached the American.
German, English and French flags, and
launched Into an attack on all the coun
tries of Europe In the course of a speech
at 2d street and Glrard avenue. He was
greeted at times with cheers and aitatn
with hisses. It appears that a quantity
of liquid refreshments which he acquired
before the speech made him somewhat
inconsistent, and as a result the speaker
frequently became involved In triangular
and quadrangular arguments.
Finally, when he mixed the subject up
with the Revolution and the Spanish War,
the controversy with hi candid critics be
came an uproar. When Polloeman Galla
gher arrived he told the International
peacemaker to "beat It."
"I demand tha right of free speech,"
declared Evans,
"All right," said Gallagher. 'Tit five

the orator before Magistrate Scott, at the

to visit relatives, they had booked passage
on tho Cameronla, and were among pas
sengers of that ship who wcro asked
to transfer to the Lusltnnla.
At tho last moment they and about 20
other persons wero refused passage on

were hunting bnrgalns. This caused un
usual activity, particularly for a Saturday
session, which Is only two hours long.
Tho pace soon became so rapid that tha
ticker giving the quotations could not
keep up with the market, and In order
to keep as near ns possible with the mar
ket tho first figure on quotations was
dropped early In the day, only the last
ftguro and the fraction being used.
Tho copper stocks, In which there has
been a large amount of trading recently,
led tho upward movement of the market,
nnd they ended the day with advances of
good-sized fractions.
GERMANS HERE SILENT
AS TO SEA TRAGEDY
Refuse to Discuss Sinking of
Lusitania and Seem to Prefer
Neutrality.
Germans In this city nro not rejoicing
over the sinking of tho Lusltanla. For
mer residents of tho Fatherland who live
In htladelphla refuse to express any opin
ion relating to tho destruction of the
famous ocean greyhound. The sinking of
the Lusltanla wasn't the only subjoct
discussed In cafes, restaurants and other
places frequented by Germann. Patrons
of German resorts who sa about tables
talked about different things. Tho loss
ot tho ocean liner wns dlscussod, but
thoso who epoke about It were careful
not to express any opinion. Ie seemed
that everybody wanted to be neutral.
At tho headquarters of the German
Turp Vereln, at 2530 North 4th street, were
several members of that organisation. A
caller at the place asked several Ger
mans what they had to say about the
blowing up of tho Lusltanla by a German
submarine.
"No German-American Is anxious to see
Innocent women and men die," said one
German.
Other members refused to make any
comment for publication.
At the German Seamen's Home. 1402
East Moyamenslng avenue, none of the
Inmates cared to make a statement. It
was the same way everywhere. In sa
loons visited by Germans there wasn't
any drinking of toasts over the sinking
of tho ship, Neither waa there any sign
of General rejoicing.
