here today on tlio American liner St.
Paul, Ho Is IMunrtl If. Huxley, iircsl
dent of tlio United States Rubber Export
Company.
"I could not say positively whether the
ship wan blown up by n mlno or tor
pedoed from a submarine," Bald Mr. Hux
ley.t "The Ronoral opinion on hoard,
though, was that the ship hnd been nt
tacked vlthout warning by a German sub
lnnrlno. "The dlsautcr happened about 1:30
o'clock In thq afternoon when tho Sus
ecx was half way between Folhstone and
Dieppe.
(Previous reports, both ofllclnl and un
official, said that tho explosion occurred
about 2:30.)
"I wns Btandln? on tho port Bldo of
tho ship nt the time. Suddenly thcro wns
a terrific blast, which tore away tho
whole bow of tho Bhlp and hurled debris
nnd water lilRh in tho nlr. Much of this
wrcckaso fell back upon tho decks, In
juring many persons. I Baw tho Bevcrcd
bow of tho Bhlp float awny llko n. cork
and then sink.
"Tho explosion was on tho starboard
side of the ship forward and many per
sons that weio In that part of tho Bhlp
verc killed outright or thrown Into tho
"Vho wireless outfit on tho vessel re
maliiLM in working order and tho operator
continued to send out calls for help after
the pxiiloslon, but It was nine hours beforo
a Urltlsit torpedoboat destroyer appeared
on tho stem:. '" tho meantime wo hntl
lowered Some boats and many of those
who had, h en thrown or Jumped Into tho
water v.re taken on board tho boats.
"On bijm-d tho destroyer was the war
rant ofllcer 0f tho Sussex. Ho declared
that a rmmbcr of the liasscngcrs on the
channel liner had told him they saw tlio
vako of n torpedo.
"I have ii totter from Captain Thomas
C.irroll, embarkation ofllcer at lloulogno,
li'iancu, which fays, In part: "The poor Sus
sex lle" beached. I saw the body of a
poor wum,in on board with n piece of a
Gorman torpedo Imbedded In her stomach.'
"Of Course, I cannot say how tho ship
was blown up, not having heen any mine
or torp;do, but whatever It was it had
tremendous power behind It."

TnnNTON, April U. After having
made a thorough test of his substltutn
for gnsollne, following four yenrs' work
of research, Henry T. Caulett, of this city,
announced today that his now essence,
which ho declares can be manufactured
with a profit for 12 cents n gallon. Is
ready to bo placed on tho market.
Caulett ays his product Is a blending
of oils -under a new process of agitation
nnd that a gallon of It "will last longer
than gasoline nnd give 30 per cent, more
power. Ho has nnmed the new fuel "gas
nfonm" because of Its foarriy nnture.
A test of the Caulett product was made
In a standard car a few days ngo and
after somo trouble In tho mixing chamber,
which was overcome by using a larger
bore valve, the now "gas" worked per
fectly. Caulett declares there Is virtually
no ox-aporatlon In "gnsafoam" nnd that
thcro Is a great deal Icbs carbonization

Saturday Night, a Six o'CIocK
And will be long remembered by every man
who bought one of them; for he will showit to
his friends for months of Sundays as the best
value in clothing sold this season!
Will you be in on it
when the final bugle blows?
In case youVe missed reading,
hearing, or seeing what it is
here's the sum and substance of
it in a paragraph.
Cf These Intensified-Value Suits are made from
fabrics bought by ourselves in the piece in
quantities of thousands of yards, of a grade
such as regularly went into Suits at $20, $22.50
and $25 before the phenomenal rise in prices
took place, so you can figure for yourself what
Suits of such fabrics are worth today the most'
attractive, most numerous, most diversified
fabric designs that we've ever seen in many a
long day grays, blues, browns, in stripes, in
plain and fancy mixtures; soft, indistinct plaids
and overplaids; serges. Models and styles for
men of all years ; for men of every size, of every
persuasion a regular $25, $22.50 and $20 selec
tion and abundance, all at the
Uniform Price of
$15
until 6 P. M. Saturday!
CJWith that simple statement, we rest", and
leave the verdict to you but, the earlier in the
day you decide, the better we'll both like it!
