LOSS OF AMERICANS MAY CAUSE v AN OPEN BREAK WITH KAISER of 1919. The number of survivors now accounted for is 703. This indicates a death list of 1213. Hopes that the list of persons saved may be materially increased were dashed by an announcement from the British Admiralty that all but one of the rescue fleet which put out from Queenstown had reported and that there was little prospect of news of further sur vivors. Nevertheless inquiries are being made all along the coast in the hope that other rescues may have been made by small craft which put in at isolated points. Of the 290 first-class passengers it is now believed only seventy six were saved. No word has been received of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Charles Frohman and other prominent men who were aboard. The story of the Lusitania came in slowly owing partly to the confusion prevailing at Queenstown, where most of the survivors were landed. No information was available as to how many of the Americans on the Lusitania had gone down. Stories told by survivors seemed to confirm the earlier report that the Lusitania had been struck by two torpedoes. Ambassador Gerard at Berlin was directed to make inquiry of the German government concerning the sinking of the Lusitania. While the situation is regarded at Washington as a serious one on account of the loss of American lives, it is expected the government will await the receipt of official information from Germany before deciding upon further steps. An admiralty statement given out in London to-day placed the number of survivors at 658. At 1.50 p. m., there was received in London a report from Ire land that forty-five more survivors had been brought into Queens town. If these forty-five persons were not included in the total of 658 announced by the admiralty the total of recorded survivors up to the present time is therefore 703. The best available information sets forth that the Lusitania had on board 1251 passengers and a crew of 816. This gives a total of 2067 souls on board the liner when she was torpedoed. The known survivors being 703, the list of dead would consequently reach the total of 1364.

May 8. 6.2 4 A. M. —Many of the Lusitania's survivors wno landed at, Queenstown were only partly clad, having cast aside as much clothing as possible when they donned life belts.

SATURDAY EVENING, HXRKIBBUKO ftSfgjp TELEGRAPH MAY 8, 1915 [Oontlnuod from First I "age.] "To Be Torpedoed Would Be Glorious," Said "Fra" Special to The Telegraph New York, May B.—A number of the prominent Americans who were passengers on the Lusitania received warnings of impending disaster before the ship sailed from New York. Al fred Gwynne Vanderbilt, well-known capitalist and sportsman, was among these. He received the following tele grain: "Have it on definite authority the Lusitania is to be torpedoed. You had better cancel passage Immediately." The telegram did not frighten Mr. Vanderbilt. When asked about it just before the boat sailed, he laughed at the question. "Why should we be afraid of German submarines," he said. "We can outdistance any sub marine afloat." Elbert Hubbard, publisher, of East Aurora. N. Y., popularly known as "Fra Albertus." whose iconoclastic writings have been widely read, also laughed when he was warned not to sail. Said he: "To be torpedoed would be a glor ious way to peter out and it would be a good advertisement." Mr. Hubbard said the Kaiser was peeved because the American wrote "Who Lifted the Lid OfT of Hell? ' "After the war is over," he said, "I expect to call on the Kaiser at St. He lena." . Charles Frohman, best known of theatrical managers, was also a pas senger. He is on his annual trip to London and Paris to look over dra matic productions in those cities which seem to him likely to prove popular with American audiences.

The retir ing grand jury's special committee re port upon the closing of disorderly houses by the Police Board, declares that it is folly for the large community to "fool itself" into the notion that closing the houses lessens vice. "Furthermore," says the report, 'the records show that the closing thus f»r has not lessened vice, but has increas ed it." Absence of Information Causes Pathetic Scenes London. May 8, 1.05 P. M.— Between 45 and 50 relatives of passengers on the Lusitania maintained a night-long vigil in the London office of the Cun ard company. The continued absence of definite in formation is leading to pathetic scenes. The rush of Inquiries recommenced at an early hour and grew constantly as j the morning passed, hut news was i very slow in arriving.

A sharp lookout for submarines was kept aboard the Lusitania as she ap proached the Irish coast, according to Ernest Cowper, a Toronto newspaper man who was among the survivors landed here. He declared that after the ship was torpedoed there was no panic among the crew, but that thej went about the work of getting pas sengers into the boats in a prompt and efficient manner. "As wo neared tlie coast of Ire land." said Mr. Cowi>er. "we all joined in the lookout, for n pos sible attack by a submarine was the sole topic of conversation.

The Transylvania's cabins W9re crowded, her agents said. There were 879 passengers aboard, and oth ers who wanted to go, the agents said, could not be accommodated for lack of room. Captain John Black, who was re cently transferred to the Transylvania from the British auxiliary cruiser Co lumbia. commanded the ship. "I have been hunting for a subma rine ever since this war began," was bis comment on the sinking of the Lusitania. "I only hone T see one on this trip, and that she comes close enough for me to ram her." "Do you expect to flv the American flag when you reach the war zone?" he was asked. "No. sir. I'll take my ship to port with the flag of England flying or not at all," he replied. All precautions, however. Captain Black said, would be obsprved when the Transylvania reached the war zone.

Vanderbilt, Among New York's Wealthiest By Associated Press New York, May B.—Many persons notable in the business or social life of New York city were among those whose names were missing from the list of survivors of the made public by the line here and at Queens town. Of those not reported as being sav ed, Alfred G. Vanderbilt is one of the most widely known. Inheriting the bulk of the ofitate of his father, esti mated at $70,000,000 to $100,000,000, he is one of the most wealthy men in New York. Elbert Hubbard, editor of the Phil istine, autnor of essays and publisher at East Aurora. N. Y., is known throughout the country as "Fra Elber tus." Charles Frohinan, theatrical man ager and producer, whose name had not been included among the survivors was another passenger. He was ac companied by Justus Forman, play wright. and author. Charles Klein, one of the best-known American playwrights, also accom panied Mr. Frohman. Herbert Stuart.

Mr. Frohman is a familiar figure in the theatrical life of London. and theater managers and players alike have al ways regarded him most hisrhly. Speaking to a correspondent, Fred erick Harrison, lessee of the Haymar ket Theater, after expressing the in tense shock he felt over the report of Froliman's drowning, asked abruptly: "What is America Koinp to do about the torpedoing of the Lusitania? What is Washington to say about the drown ing of American citizens? Is America I going to take It lying down?" Mr. Harrison spoke of Mr. Frohman ! as one of his most intimate friends and a man whose loss the entire the atrical world here and abroad will feel most keenly. "Only three days ago I received a letter from Mr. Frohman, written in New York. April 21." said Mr. Harri son. "and in it Mr. Frohman, after [speaking of his intention to make the j trip to see me and other theatrical Insurance on Lusitania Amounts to $7,500,000 By Associated Press New York, May S.—lnsurance on the Lusitania, it was said to-day, amounted to $7,500,000. The vessel was valued in round figures, at $lO,- 000,000. The worth of the cargo she carried was reckoned to-day at $735,- 000. On the amount of Insurance car ried. it Is understood the line paid a premium of 3 per cent, and a special war risk premium of 1 % per cent, for each trip. It is understood that the line carried one-third of the Insur ance, the remainder divided among Lloyds and other underwriters. About one-half the Insurance upon the cargo was taken by local underwrit ers and the rest by Lloyds. The cargo rate, influenced by the theory that the fast liner was too speedy to be caught by a torpedo, was one per cent., much lower than the customary trans-Atlantic rate at this time. The Lusitania carried 250 bags of mail. She had no specie aboard. On her manifest the largest single Item was listed as "cartridges and ammu nition. 4,200 cases, $152,400." The next item in value was a consignment of furs, valued at $119,000 for Liver pool. The cartridges and ammunition cases were consigned to London. Mis cellaneous items included sheet brass copper wire and various manufactured goods. The vessel carried hundreds of tons of beer and Jiacon and many thousand pounds of t utter, cheese and lard. LCSITANIA NOT ARMED London, May 8. 1.51 P. M.—The British government to-day made the following announcement: "The state i ment appearing in some newspapers I that the Lusitania was armed is whol ly false." REPUBLIC ONE-TON TRUCK n....... ,c»s on business, wrote: 'I hope to see you soon.' From the letter I took It he was sailing within a few days. All I can say, in the event of the report of his drowning being true, that the theatrical profession loses a clever man and a very kind friend. Mr. Frohman had a tremendous Influ ence in the theatrical field, and'his energies were directed in the rlorht way. The Rinking of the Lusltania is a terrible act, and the Germans ought to be held by America to the fullest ac countability." German Embassy Again Inserts Advertisement in New York Newspapers New York, May B.—As the day w<?re on the crowd at. the office of the Cun ard line Increased. At noon the offi ces were filled with men and women, many of them crying who waited for word of relatives and friends abroad. Every clerk in the line's employ, except those engaged in making out lists of survivors as they dribbled in from Liverpool, was put to work ans wering inquiries. The walls of the of fice and the counters were placarded with passenger lists showing all aboard. A check mark in ink was placed opposite the names of those reported saved. There were many white gaps between the check marks. F. P. Gaskell, in charge of the out- I bound freight of the Cunard line, de | nied a report that there had been pic | ric acid aboard the Lusitania. Mr, I Gaskell said there were no explosives, I ammunition or any inflammable ma- I terial on the ship. I There was frequent mention during the day of the fact that the advertise j ment placed by the German embassy i in New York newspapers the morning i of the Lusitania's sailing had reap ; peared in the newspapers to-day. This advertisement reminded the public j that Germany had declared a war ' zone about the British Isles and warn ed travelers that they would emljark at their own risk on ships flying the flags of the allies. Statements attributed to Captain Turner of the Lusitania before sailing and recalled now indicate that the British admiralty relied on the Lusi tania's speed rather than convoys, to enable her to make port safely. At the office of the line it was an nounced at noon that it was known that seventy-nine first cabin passeng ers had been saved, according to lists compiled from their own advices and other sources. A revision of the pas senger list placed the total number of passengers aboard at 1,254. The crew numbered 665, making a total of 1,919 persons on the ship. Warned by Premonitions of Disaster to Ship Buffalo, May 8. —Forewarned by a dream that the Lusitania would be I sunk, William H. H. Brown, of this city, took passage on the fated vessel. Before leaving home last Friday he told his wife he had a premonition the ship would not reach its destination. "If the Lusitania sinks," he told her, "you can picture me tossed about by the waves; but something tells me I shall be rescued if the ship goes down." Mrs. Brown feels no fear for her husband's safety, despite the disaster. "My husband's dreams always come true," she said. "Of course, lam anx ious about him, but I am just as confi dent that he is alive and well as if he were at my side this moment. I felt • no uneasiness when Mr. Brown sailed. When the news of the wreck first came 1 was shocked, but soon recovered." Mr. Brown is local representative of the Continental Rubber Company, of Erie, and .formerly lived there. He has two children, William J. and Don ald. , New York, May B.—Among those for . whom anxious inquiries were made at the Cunard line's office was Dr. T. , Houghton, said by the officials of the company to be the son of a former , New York State Supreme Court Jus tice. Doctor Houghton was on his way to Belgium to take charge of the war | hospital at La Panna. He was the ' representative of Mme. Adepage, head of the Belgian relief fund In this country.
