QOEENSTOWN. May 12. A Lusltanla lifeboat, containing the bodies of three women and two boys, drifted ashoro at Dnlllmore today. The bodies will bo brought to Queenstown. The belief Is growing hero that If ves sels had been sent out to search the waters In which the Lusltanla sank as soon no news of tho disaster reached here more passengers would havo been saved. Chaos and confusion, bred In the over whelming horror of the Ltlsltnnla dis aster, have hindered the work of ofllclals whose duty has been to caro for the bod ies of recovered victims and to direct the search for the missing In some quarters allowances have been made for the disorder In officialdom, but In others sharp criticism la still heard. FROHMAN'S BODY UNCOFl'INCD. Webb Ware, attorney for tho Vander bitt Interests in England, upon his ar rival hero was told that the body of Charles Frohman was still uncotflned and was lying In the Cunard offices unenred for. Mr. Ware Immediately sent tho fol lowing cablegram to Dion laouclcault In London: "Surely steps should bo taken Imme. dlately to coflln tho body of Charles Frohman. Nobody appears to care here Shall I give orders on your behalf? The matter Is extremely urgent." Mr. Ware declared he had tried vainly to Induce tho Admiralty to send naval tugs to search for bodies. ADMIRALTY COMMANDEERS VES SELS. "But in thin I was unsuccessful be oauso tho Government has commandeered all tho ships possible for war purposes," said the lawyer. "I am In receipt of cables- from relatives of many missing persons nnd from tho families of sur vivors, who feel that no ono 13 doing anything In the way of trying to recover bodies." "Meanwhile our Individual efforts are hampered by lack of Information on tho part of authorities. I have been trying to find out for many hours whether the red tape of the Coroner's ofllco would prevent the transfer of bodies. "Confusion has Invested every circle of officialdom from tho Admiralty down to the local authorities. Even the American consular attaches havo been overcome by thd excitement." EMBASSY DENIES FKOIDIAN'S BODY REMAINED UNC0FFINED LONDON, May 12. Tho United States Embassy denied re ports that Charles Frohman's body had been left lying uncofflned four days upon the floor of the Cuiard offl.ce3 in tjueens town. United Stntcs Consul Frost telegraphed that the body was placed In a casket as soon as one could be secured for It "Neither pains nor expense will be spared In caring In a fitting way for the bodies of Americans," It wi.s said. RECOVERY OF VANDERBILT K0T CREDITED BY EMBASSY LONDON, May 12. American Embassy ofllclals do not be lieve tho report that the body of Al fred G. Vanderbllt has been found, It was stated today. Inquiries sent to Liverpool and Queenstown by Ambassa dor Page have been without confirma tion. Reports from Queenstown Insist, how over, that the body of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt has been found. No details are given. It is assumed that the body was dis covered In a search Instituted today by Webb Wade, secretary of Mr. Vanderbllt, and tho authorities, who were spurred to activity by Americans and relatives of those who aro missing. All Idea that Mr. Vanderbllt was alive was abandoned by tho family representa tive today, when he had an Interview with Dr. Owen Kenan, of Wilmington, N. C, who Is still at a hospital In Queens town. Dr. Kenan Bald that ho had seen Mr. Vanderbllt leaning against a door as the ship went down, and he exclaimed at that Instant: "They've got us now!" SEVENTEEN MORE BODIES BROUGHT INTO QUEENSTOWN QUEENSTOWN, May 12. An ooean-golng tug, the Flying Fish, her- flag at half mast, her deck covered with tarpaulln.covered corpses, brought 17 more bodies of Lusltanla victims Into this port this morning, and flvo of them were Immediately Identified. One Identi fication was that of Percy Secombe, of Boston, whose father was master of the Cunard steamship Cephalonla for mapy years. It was announced that two others wero Identified as J. Hanson, a second class passenger, and -A. P. Norrls, There was a Samuel Hanson listed among the becond cabin passengers, but the name of "A. P. Norrls" was not Included In the list of passengers on the destroyed liner. Two others of the victims were identified as members of the lost ship's crew. Forty-five bodies have been brought to port during the last 3d hours, and at the time this dispatch was written the mis sing were estimated at between 560 and 970.

AMERICAN LINE BARS CONTRABAND FREIGHT Prohibition to Insure Safety Applies Even to Automobiles Owned by Passengers. NEW YORK, May 12. Tho Interna tional Mercantile Mnrtno Company an nounced yesfrday that In future no con traband of war would be carried on tho steamships of tho American'' Line plying between New York nnd Liverpool. The prohibition even included automobiles be longing to passengers, It wan said. Ofllclals of tho line thought it expedient to make this announcement because after the jinking of tho Cunarder Lusltanla tho report spread that the vessels of the International Mercantile Marine, Hying tho American flag, were also carrying munitions of war and other supplies which would lay them open to attack by German submarines. In making the announcement yester day a representative of the lino said that il Ud 111 I1U atllBU illll-1 ..II IH.I.IIUI1I- edgement of the effectiveness of German submarines In tho so-crlled war zone, I nor waa it the result of any order, or hint, from Washington. i Tho Hue does not expect German at tacks, but nil precautions are being taken.

Contraband goods will be carried on the American Line steamships leaving this port, according to Information re ceived today at the local office, of the International Mercantile Marino Com pany.

What appeared to be a race between two high-powered automobiles startled and nroused residents In tho vicinity of 47th street and Baltlmoro avenue, shortly before midnight, last night. The first car narrowly missed smashing into a Baltimore avenue trolley car. Both cars swung Into Baltlmoro avenue and disap peared In a cloud of dust. They turned Into a side street, and a moment later were back at 47th street and Baltimore avenue. Several turns were taken and then the machines disappeared northward on 47th street. Spectators thought that the first machine was being stolen and the second car was In pursuit, but tho police have no record of a stolen car. The cars were making at least 70 miles an hour on the straightaway, according to spectators. They nearly upset when tak ing curves. I make the bent fitting ctothea in Philadelphia.

No more will the clubhouse be the scene of oral battles between French and German sympathizers, for the French have ngreed to vacate, selling their stock In tho club to the German element. After three years of harmony between former residents of the two "lost provinces," tho wnr began nnd the club divided In two factions, tho one of Ger man blood and the other French.
