Fifth Street SUBMARINE SIGHTED 40 MINUTES BEFORE LUSITANIA WAS HIT Survivor, Who Reached New York Today, Tells of Struggling Women in Water By Associated Press New York, May 24.—A vivid de scription of the sinking of the Lusi tania, torpedoed May 7 off the Irish coast, was given here by Dr. Carl E. Foss, of Harlem, Mont., a survivor, who reached New York to-day aboard the steamer New York from Liverpool. "From the deck of the Lusltania I saw a suhmarine, about a mile away, at 1.30 o'clock in the afternoon," Dr. Foss said. "T borrowed a pair of glasses and through them saw the submarine plainly, although I could not make out its nationality or num ber. It was traveling at the same speed of the steamer—we were going very slowly—and left a white wake of foam. "The Lusitania's officers must have seen the submarine at the same time, ' for the course of the steamer was 1 changed. The submarine was sub merged after staying on the surface about five minutes. Forty minutes later the torpedo struck. No Panic On Board "There was some little excitement on deck, but no panic. The steamer tipped to one side. I was unable to Jump overboard when I saw stewards taking life belts from a box on the deck. I went back and passed out the life belts to passengers as long as they lasted, taking one myself. Then I dropped off the rail into the water. "Soon afterward I saw a lifeboat break from the davits and fall into the sea almost under the propeller blades. The blades ripped through the little boat and battered it to bits. One of the men was cut to pieces before my eyes; the water was red where the boat went down. "The boilers exploded and sent up a cloud and rained debris all around. I swam away as fast as T could and met a woman struggling for breath. She had a child her arms. I found an oar and gave it to her to rest on. "A short distance away I came across another woman. I steadied her as much as I could and guided her to the oar. With the women clinging to the oar, one of them with her baby in her arms. I towed them, using the oar as a tow line, to a boat. When we got there we found it was full and waterlogged. It capsized a few min utes afterward. What happened to those who were in It I can only imagine. "Some time afterward I saw an other woman in the water. Her strength was nearly spent. I managed to save her by assisting her to a raft on which there were eight other sur vivors. We were picked up and taken into Queenstown by a tug." Francis Joseph Sends Note to His Soldiers By Associated Press London. May 24, 4.46 A. M.—A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam says the Vienna Zeitung publishes the following autograph letter from Em peror Francis Joseph to Count Karl Stuergkh: "Dear Count Stuergkh: I request you to make public the attached mani festo to my troops: " 'Vienna, May 23. Francis Joseph to his troops: " 'The king of Italy has declared war on ni«. Perfidy, whose like history does not know, was committed by the kingdom of Italy against both allies. After an alliance of more than fifty years duration, during which it was able to increase its territorial posses sions and develop itself to an un thought-of flourishing condition, Italy abandoned us in our hour of danger and went over with flying colors into the camp of our enemies. " 'We did not menace Italy; did not curtail her authority; did not attack her honor or interests. We always responded loyally to the duties of our alliance and offered her our protec tion when she took the lield. We have done more. When Italy directed covet ous glances across our frontier, we, in order to maintain peace and our alli ance relation. We resolved on great painful sacrifices which particularly grieved our parental heart. The co vetousness of Italy, which believed the moment should be used, was not to be appeased so fate must be accoramo- i dated." BUILD SUBMARINE A WEEK I Washington, D.

REGISTER'S FEE FROM STATE IS HIS OWN So Special Auditor Boyd Decides in Filing Report With Court For 1914 The question of whether the com- | mission allowed by the State to the county register of wills for the collec tion of collateral inheritance tax should be included in the register's excess fees and therefore shared on a flfty-flfty basis with the county, is once more decided against the county by Attorney William B. Boyd, special auditor of the accounts of the pro thonotary, recorder of deeds and reg ister of wills, in presenting his audit for 1914 this morning to the Dauphiu county court for confirmation. The report was ordered tiled. On several previous occasions the same problem was raised, usually by the State or the county. When Reg ister Roy C. Danner submitted his report for 1914, his books showed collections of Inheritance tax amount ing to $19,094.16 for which he receiv ed 5 per cent, commission, totaling $954.73. Mr. Boyd declares that thlß emolument Is the register's own en tirely in as much as he is employed by the State for this purpose and that the compensation therefore cannot be considered a part of the excess fees of the office. In addition to settling that point the special auditor pays a special trib ute to the efficient manner in which Prothonotary Harry F. Holler, Record er of Deeds Oscar G. Wickersham and Register of Wills Roy C. Danner con ducted their offices. "Your auditor," cites the report, "desires to commend the prothonotary, recorder and regis ter, their deputies and clerks for the high state of efficiency existing in each of these offices for the manner in which the work is expedited, and for the careful and accurate system of ac counting in each. Not only are the •.officers deserving of commendation but the people of the county from a financial point of view, are fortunate to have faithful and efficient servants filling the several offices. Reports of the Officers The reports of the various officers show the following: Prothonotary Harry F. Holler, fees received. $13,164.23; salary, $2,000; office expenses, $1,898.48; solicitor, $100: advertising liquor licenses, $4,- 227.30, leaving total excess fees of SB,- 936.93. On the fifty-fifty division basis the county and Prothonotary Holler each net $4,4<58.47. Recorder Oscar G. Wickersham, fees received, $15,894.67; salary, $2,000; office expenses. $6,380, leaving excess fees of $7,469.67, which on the fifty fifty basis give the county and record er each $3,734.83. Register of Wills Danner, fees re ceived. $4,221.87; salary, $2,000; ad vertising, solicitor's fee and deputy's salary. $1,200: total $3,513.06. which leaves excess fees of $708.81, of which the county and the register each net $354.41.
