Cunard Line Warehouse
Being Used as Morgue
By AsseciiteJ Press
New York. May B.—When the Cu
nard Line office opened early to-day
the first bulletin issued—the text of
the announcement made by the press
bureau at Liverpool last night, stating
that 658 had been landed—strength
ened the belief that the loss of life
would be great, especially among the
first cabin passengers. »
This bulletin was quickly followed
by a list of survivors' names received
from Liverpool. As fast as these names
could be cheeked with the passenger
lists they were given out. The first list
contained the names of fifty-two first
cabin passengers. Among them were
D. A. Thomas, of London, millionaire
coal operator, his daughter. Lady
Mackworth. Julian de Ayala. Cuban
consul, general at Liverpool, and Lad}
Allan .of Montreal.
Although inquirers who came early
to the offices wgre few in number, tele
grams by the hundred poured in over
night and continued to arrive in swell
ins torrents during the forenoon. The
telephone lines of the company were
choked with calls.
A large detachment of clerks was
detailed to answer inquiries.
As fast as the work could be done, a
list of survivors from the second cabin
was prepared. The first list, it was
thought, would be followed by others
during the day.
There was no noticeable Increase in
the number of persons calling at the i
office during the early part of the day.
Among them was Harry Xlemark, u
Belgian, who came to America with
his father. Abraham Niemark, three
months ago. leavinc his mother and
sisters in London . The elder Xiemark
sailed on the Lusitania, taking with i
him the entire fortune of the familv. j
which he had '-onverted into diamonds I
in order that they might be realized on

dispatch from Berlin by way of Am
sterdam which reads:
"Hundreds of telegrams of congrat
ulations arc being sent to Admiral Von
i Tirpitz. the German nUnister of ma
i rine. on the sinking of the Lusitania,
j which is considered by the Germans
to be an answer to the destruction off
j the Falkland islands of the German
j-quadron under the command of Ad
miral Von Speed.
"The news of the loss of the Lusi
tania only became generally known to
the public this morning. It was rc
ceived with mixed expressions of
amazement and cnthtrsia-m. The
newspapers praise the pluck anil dar
ing of the submarine crew ."
Says Germany Was Right
in Sinking Lusitania
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia. May B.—John Freder

admiralty law at the University of
Pennsylvania and president of the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts, known as one of the most wide
ly known experts in the world on in
ternational law as It deals with mari
time law, said in an interview last
night that Germany had every right
to sink the Lusitania.
He was asked if the sinking of the
big Cunard liner raised a new situation
in the law of the seas.
"It doe 3 not," he replied. "The only
difference between this and the sinking
of other vessels is that In this particu
lar instance the vessel happened to be
very large and worth a great deal of
money, besides having many persons
of much prominence on board."

3.4" P. M.—Clinton Bernard, of New
York dtv. one of the first cabin sur- i
\ivors of the Lusitaniu, had- this to say
of his experience:
"Although it was a tremendous
shock to everybody, there was not as
much excitement as one would expect'
in such a. catastrophe. It occurred so;
suddenly we had not much time to ;
realize what was happening. When 1 i
saw the ship was sinking I jumped '
overboard just as I was. I had no life- j
belt, but 1 picked up a bit of tlotsam.
Finally I sot to an upturned boat and
clung to that. Later. with some others
who had swam to this boat, we man
aged to right it. Then we climbed in
and started to rescue as many people
as we could reach.

SCHOOL TAX RATE
TO REMAIN AT 81-2
Directors Keep Millage Down De
spite Fact That 1915 Bndget
Shows Slight Deficit
Despite the fact that the estimated
budget of expenditures for Harris
burg's school district for 1915-16 ex
ceeds the estimated revenues by
$755.23. the school board last evening
retained the school mileage of its pres
ent rate of eight and a half mills.
The budget shows an income for the
year of J483.635.65 as against expendi
tures of $484,393.88. The deficit it is
expected will be made up during the
year.
In addition to fixing the mill rate
and adopting the budget, the directors
re-elected all theteachers of city, au
thorized the advertising of bids for
floating the $99,000 worth of bonds
that will be used to buy the plot at
Ffth and Mahantongo streets and erect
a new school building; let contracts for
all the supplies for the various labo
ratories and drawing rooms at Central
and Technical high schools to the low
bidders; heard of the coming of Pro
fessor Howard G. Dibble, the new Cen
tral high principal next Friday, May
14. for a two weeks' "getting acquaint
ed'' visit; authorized the payment of
bills and passed on the estimate of the
architect for the new Shimmell build
ing.
Xo Change of Teachers
In addition to re-electing all the
present city teaching staff the
reappointed "Captain" Henry A.
Swartz as attendance officer, Drs.
Charles S. Rebuck and George Burton
Stull as medical inspector and assist
ant. respectively: Misses Mary C. Pass
and Florence Heller as school nurses,
and Drs. Paul Kochenour and M. Ed
ward Richards as school dentists.
Miss Anne V. Crowl was transferred
from the princlpalship of the Wicker
sham building to a similar position in
the L. S. Shimmel building.
In refusing the teachers' request for
additional increases the finance com
mittee pointed out that the request
could not be granted unless the mill
rate was raised. The increase asked
for would mean an additional expense
of from $3,000 to $4,000 for the salar
ies.
Park 'Round Xew Building
The bonds for the new upper end
school will be in SI,OOO denominations
and there will be ninety-nine of them.
Nine thousand is to pay for the
ground, the remainder is intended for
the building. Director Werner and
School Architect C. Howard Lloyd
both suggested building some distance
back from the building line in order to
leave room for a little park or play
ground and the directors agreed to
visit the site in the near future to de
cide upon a feasible scheme. The
bonds shall be 4 per cent, interest
bearing and will be Issued In serial
form. $16,000 to mature May 1, 1920
and $3,000 each year thereafter until
I 1944.
Permission was granted both the
junior and senior classes of Technical
high school to make an inspection trip

SIXKIXG WAS JUSTIFIABLE
By Associated Press
I Cleveland, Ohio, May B.—Dr. Ber
nard Dernberg, former German co
lonial secretary, who arrived here to-
I day from New York to address the
I City Club, holds the sinking of the
I Lusitania by a German submarine to
jbe Justifiable. He takes this position
j because the Lusitania carried contra
i band of war and also because the
boat was classified as an auxiliary
cruiser at the disposal of the British
Admiralty.
3 YEARS' WORK—COST, $8,000,000;
SUNK BY TORPEDO—COST, $4,000
The following estimate may serve to present to the readers
of the Telegraph a mental picture of the giant liner Lusitania in
comparison with the small but deadly submarine torpedo that
destroyed her:
Average length of a torpedo 16 feet
Length of the Lusitania 790 feet
Average cost of a torpedo $4,000
Approximate cost of the Lusitania $8,000,000
Time required to make and test a torpedo 3 months
Time required to build the Lusitania 3 years
AND
TIME REQUIRED TO DESTROY THE LUSITANIA
WITH A TORPEDO 15 minutes
"The German submarine made no
attempt to save anybody. We saw it
for a moment just before it dove.
"The first torpedo struck us between
the first and second funnels. The Lusi
tania shook and settled down a bit.
Two other torpedoes quickly followed
aud soon finished our ship. Four or
five of our lifeboats went down with
her and the tremendous suction as
the liner was engulfed dragged many
people down also.
"The noise of the explosion was not
very great. The first torpedo burst
with a big thud and we knew that we
were doomed. We had floated about
two hours in our small boats before
the first rescue steamers arrived. Pre
vious to this time some small shore
boats and fishing smacks came along
and helped us in."

the «ater. Oves heard the cries of the
lad's comiMtnions nnd jumped into the
water just as the child was swept
through the opening in the dam.
M'tcr a short, >harp struggle With
the swift current, he succeeded in sav

Stage Production of
Titanic Disaster, Says
Amsterdam Telegraaf
Amsterdam, via London. May 8.
4:05 a. m.—"The torpedoing of the
Lusitania," says the "Telegraaf in an
editorial, "was a deliberate stage pro
duction of the Titanic disaster. It was
a premeditated crime against a pas
senger ship on which were 2,500 nor.-
combatants. It Is no longer outrag
eous; it has become fiendish.
"Does there still exist something
like conscience among the neutrals?
The neutral powers remained silent
when Belgian neutrality was trampled
upon, when the Germans carried out
(practices profaning International law
and with submarine assistance made
them their first victims. Will they
now look on inactively? Only the
spontaneous joint protest of the en
tire gives the civilized world from
which Germany has separated her
self can he an answer to the latest
provocation."

Charles R. Snell, aged 42, died last

Funeral services with private burial

Superintendent of Public Safety
Announces Further Details For
Treating Promenade
Further details of the plan of treat
ment for the plaza which City Com
missioner Harry F. Bowman will build
along: the river front in the rear of
the pumping station were announced
to-day by the superintendent of public
safety.
The plaza will be formed by the con
struction of a 2 40-foot-long concrete
wall, which will reach a height of
fifteen feet above the level of the river
wall walk. At both ends the wall will
curve in a graceful sweep to the banks
In such a way as to satisfactorily re
tain the earth and at the same time
present an effective appearance. Re
hind this wall the space will be filled In
where necessary with ashes. From
the balustrade to the eastern edge of
the present upper walk which now
winds past the pumping station the
promenade space of the plaza will be
paved with bricks. At first Mr. Bow
man had only intended paving the
walk in the plaza, but he has decided
to change his original scheme by Im
proving the whole space in order to
avoid Inconvenience that might follow
for promenaders in wet weather.
East of the present walk, however,
there will be a place for the ashes
from the pumping station firerooms,
but this will be nicely screened from
the vjew of strollers on the plaza by a
fringe of hedge or shrubbery. Mr.
Bowman is also planning an effective
decorative scheme for the shrubbery
within the plaza enclosure.

CODDLING THE STOMACH
The So-Called "Scientific" Feed
ing.
In this twentieth century of ad
vancement, people are too apt to listen
to new theories and put into practice
new-fangled notions of feeding. Not
only do adults follow so-called "scien
tific systems." but they cram down tho
mouths of their children such scientific
soft foods that require no exercise of
the digestive organs, and the children
are apt to become fragile and their
stomachs too weak to take in strength
giving food and be able to assimilate •
It. This is a hothouse condition that
no man. woman or child should per
mit. The muscles of the stomach re
quire exercise just as any other muscles
of the body; neglect them with too
much ease and inaction and you raise
a dyspeptic. Use a tonic made of
medicinal herbs which will stimulate
the stomach into greater activity—a
remedy which will do this is one which
has stood the test of public approval
for over forty years, containing no
alcohol or narcotic. We refer to Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
i It arouses the little muscular fibers
into activity and causes the gastrlo
juices to thoroughly mix with the food
you eat, simply because it supplies tha
stomach with pure, rich blood. It'a
weak, impure blood that causes stom
ach weakness. Get good blood through
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, and you will have no more
indicestion.
Sick people are Invited to consult
Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All corre
spondence is held as strictly private
and sacredly confidential.
