THURSDAY EVENING, NO OBJECTION TO SPROUL INQUIRY IS RAISED IN HOUSE Passes First Reading; Dim mers For Street Cars; Another Busy Week Ahead No objections were raised to consid eration of the Sproui resolution to probe government in Pennsylvania in the House this morning although the attendance was very slim. The bill was on first reading, having been re ported out last evening and while; there were rumors that a point of no j quorum would be raised by administra- j tion men and the Democrats would join forces with them nothing occurred. The bin came up at the toil end of a long first reading calendar and was passed without a word being said. The House was in session only six minutes and when it adjourned Speak er Baldwin said that he expected there would be another busy week beginning Monday. The probe resolution will be on second reading in the House on Monday night, and if there is ahy fight to be made it will develop then. Among the bills which appeared in the House this morning was one from Mr. Mangan, Allegheny, providing for repeal of the section of the act of 1913 creating the bureau of industrial statistics, which prevent reports tiled by employers from being used as evi dence in compensation cases. The ef fect of this would be to make reports of manufacturers, railroads, mining companies, and all others available for such proceedings. The bill also re pealed the clause which provides that reports filed with the bureau need not be duplicated to other departments. Dimmers For Street Cars Mr. Shunk, Erie, introduced a bill providing that all street cars must have dimmers on electric lights which must be turned down when approach ing any vehicle and when within 500 feet of built-up portions. Violation of the act means a fine of $5 for each offense. Provision for- an appropriation of $ 16,000 to continue coditication of laws by the Legislative Reference Bureau is provided in a bill introduced by Mr. Simpton, Allegheny. The House considered only first reading bills.

Should the United States go to war with Germany these will be seized. This photograph, taken the day the Gennan note was received, shows the immense Vaterland, the largest ship in the world, in her Hoboken, X. J., pier protected all about by lighters and tugs so she can hardly be seen. It will be noted smoke 1s issuing from her smokestack. WAR WILL FOLLOW LOSS OF AMERICAN LIFE [Continued From First Page.] Until all the facts are established beyond question, the President is not expected to indicate whether he con siders that the California case pre sents an issue demanding action. In his address to Congress Saturday, the President said he would come again before that body to ask authority to take further steps "if American ships and American lives should in fact be sacrificed." It was pointed out that so far is known, no American was lost on the California, and no American ships have been sunk without warn ing since Germany announced her new campaign. Senate Endorses Break Every effort was made to-day to clear up the details of the liner's de struction, while preparations went steadily forward in every branch of the government to make the country ready for whatever the decision may be. The Senate's endorsement of the break with Germany was given yes terday by adoption of the Stone reso lution, by a vote of 78 to 5. American ship owners to-day had official notice from the State Depart ment that it could not advise them whether their vessels should sail through the war zone, but that in general they still held the same right to go anywhere on the seas they had before the issuance of the new Ger man submarine notice. In effect, they were told they might arm their ships for defensive purposes. Secretary McAdoo announced in creases ranging from 125 to 900 per cent, on war risk insurance for ship ping, issued by a Federal bureau, j The United States Government felt I assured to-day of the moral support of most neutrals in the protest against Germany's course, although it ap peared improbable that any would follow the lead of this country and break relations. Preliminary reports of the neutrals' replies to Germany in dicated they would denounce the new sea warfare. McCumber Wants Views of Government on German Use of Submarines Washington, Feb. 8. Senator Mc- Cumber, Republican, of North Dakota, produced a resolution to-day to have the Secretary of State, if compatible with public interest, submit to the Senate the government's view of the limitations on the use of the submar ine demanded by this government from Germany as set forth in the diplomatic correspondence. "I think it is not clear just what we hold the limitations of submarines to be in this war," said he. "As it was on this subject that we severed rela tions with Germany, we ought to know as accurately r.s possible just what the government deems to be an infringe ment of international law to the end that we may avoid a conflict if possi ble and that other nations may be put on their guard as to what we be lieve to be a gross abuse of these subsea craft." The resolution was not discussed but may be called up to-morrow. The resolution asks for the views of the use of the submarine: of the use of th esubmarine: "As against belligerent merchant vessels carrying American goods not contraband of war. "Against such vessels in respect to warning and safety of passengers and crew. "In respect to the sinking of Amer ican vessels carrying contraband with out notice where the death of passen gers or crew doei not result. "In respect to American vessels car rying mails to belligerent countries. "In respect to any other acts of sub marine warfare which this govern ment holds to be clearly against inter national law and cause for war, to the end that not only the American peo ple but also any belligerent nation may fully understand what acts of submarine warfare may involve this country in the present word c6nflict.

An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen gives the same re port regarding the detention of Am ericans in Germany and adds that Am bassador Gerard is not permitted to send telegrams in code. Washington. i~eb. t. Ambassador Gerard, American consuls and the American sailors brought in on the prize ship Yarrowdale are being held in Germany until assurances have been received from here as to the safe de parture of Count Von Bernstorff and the German consuls and the safety of German warbound ships in this coun try. It was said at the State Department to-day that sensational reports have become current in Germany that the German ships here have been confls- I cated and their crews seized. Pend ing confirmation Germany has detain ed the Americans. Officials here are inclined to mini mize the importance of the detention because they believe it largely has arisen from a misunderstanding and soon will be straightened out. It has been officially announced that there is no intention of tuking the German ships. Moreover dispatches have been conveyed to Germany through the Spanish embassy as to the courtesies granted to former German i officials in this country and their re | ceipt is expected to clarify greatly any misconception in Germany as to Am ! erica's attitude. The whole policy of the State De partment is to proceed with the strict est regularity in order to afford ab solutely no ground for offense. The United States will be extremely punc tilious and place the whole responsi bility of a more serious development upon Germany. Probably 150 Americans are affected in the American embassy at Berlin and the twenty-two consulates in Ger many, the four in Belgium and the one at Warsaw. There are 101-Amer ican citizens among the consulates, ten among the regular embassy staff and at least twenty among the forty other clerks and attaches at the embassy. That Ambassador Gerard is still in Berlin and not at Berne, Switzerland, as was thought possible yesterday, is shown in a dispatch received to-day from Ambassador Willard at Madrid. Mr. Willard said that the impression that Gerard was at Berne had been due to a telegraph mistake. The dis patch should have been dated "Berlin, via Berne" instead of "Berne." No Americans Oat of Germany Since Break Copenhagen, Feb. 7, via London, Feb. 8. •- Not a single American has arrived in Copenhagen from Berlin since the breaking off of diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States. Reginald Foster, agent in Germany of-the Rockefeller Fund, was expected to arrive here Monday night, having reserved accommodations here by telegraph. He had not reached Copenhagen late last night and no further word has been received from him. Dispatches reporting that Germany is holding Mr. Gerard and all Ameri i cans in Germany as hostages for the j safe return of Count von Bernstorff and a large number of Germans eclipsed all other news in the London evening papers to-dav. Talk in the streets soon became foctissed on pos sible resultant developments. The American embassy here is with out confirmatory advices regarding the detention of Mr. Gerard, but some anx iety was manifest, and it was learned the embassy had telegraphed to American diplomats in all states ad jacent to Germany for information as to Mr. Gerard's plans. The general Opinion here was that there probably would be no Insuper able objections on (he part of the Allies to the granting of a safe con duct to Count von Bernstorff. but that it was unlikely any such safe conduct would be extended to a considerable number of Germans, whether officials or civilians. CALIFORNIA SUNK WITHOUT WARNING [Continued From First Page.] other Little children apparently saved). Miss Annie Forbes. Toronto. American Aboard Saved Wesley G. Frost, American consul at Queenstown' has cabled the State Department that the California was torpedoed without warning and that one American known to be on board was saved. Some of the passengers, according to Consul Frost, are miss ing, including two women and several children. The survivors were landed at Queenstown last night. John A. Lee, of Montgomery, Ala., said to be the only American on board, is supposed to have been a member of the crew. Mr. Frost's message said that Cap tain John L. Henderson of the Cali fornia. was quoted as saying that his ship was sunk by a submarine, which gave no Hail, or warning before tir ing two torpedoes from a distance of three hundred yards. A message received by the Anchor Line says: "Advices indicate one hundred and sixty survivors." The agents were also informed that a cable dispatch from Queenstown said that one life had been lost and that forty persons had been injured. Silently Grieves For Wife It took the silent grief of John M. Little, englishman, to bring keenly home to the officials and clerks of the Anchor Line offices to-day the loss of the California. Modestly, almost diffidently. Little, a spare, slight man, asked for news of his wife and four children, steer age passengers. The latest cable, he was told, reported his wife and one child missing the others had -been saved. "But the wife and baby?" he plead ed. "Can't you give me a word of hope?" No one dared reply. Tears rolled unrestrainedly down Little's cheeks. The bustling activity stopped and heads were bowed. Straightening himself with an ef fort, Llftle squared his shoulders and i walked away, the tears still streaming down his face. Not a word was said as the work of the busy office was resumed. California Sinks Nine Minutes After Torpedoes Tear Into Her Vitals London, Feb. 8. The Central News says the California sank nine minutes after she was torpedoed. According to the Exchange Tele graph Company nearly 50 passengers or members of the crew are reported missing The Central News says 28 of the missing are members of the crews. The purser is reported to have been killed. The Central News says the Califor nia's lifeboats on the port side were launched and that some of the passen gers and crew were able to get away in them. A few who fell into the water were rescued. There was no panic and although a number of pas sengers were injured all acted in a. calm and courageous manner. After being in the boats a short time they were picked tip by a steamship and landed last evening. The purser's body was brought to land. The California was armed for' de fense but did not have an opportunity to use her guns, as no submarine was seen. There were pathetic scenes at the quay side where the survivors were landed. Many were only scantily clothed for such severe weather. Nurses and doctors were waiting to care for the injured, who were re moved to hotels or hospitals. Germans Well on Way Toward Their Goal of Million Tons a Month Washington, D. C., Feb. B.—-Lloyds report for the third day of Germany's new submarine campaign shows that FEBRUARY 8, 1917. the undersea boats are maintaining the average of destruction set by the Berlin naval experts as necessary to success. The third day's reported losses to taled 27,985 tons and the preceding two days totaled 56,600. At such a rate the destruction of 1,000,000 tons a month, which is the German aim, would seem about to be accomplished. German naval experts contend that such an average would cut England off from the world and end the war by her starvation. It Is realized here, however, that the British government is not lacking In measures to keep the sea lanes open and that these will become apparent as the campaign progresses. It is pointed out that while the world knows of the losses of merchant ships, it knows little, if anything at all, about the'costs of the submarine flotillas. Man Lurking Around Interned Ships Arrested New York, Feb. B.—A man lurking in the shadows on the American Line pier where the steamships St. Louis, St. Paul and Lapland are berthed was arrested to-day and said he was Jo seph Lellar, 57 years old,Va German marine fireman, formerly employed on the Ham burg-American liner Pennsyl vania, interned at Hoboken. American Line officials, anxious be j cause of Lellar's presence on their | property, lined up the entire crews of the steamships to give the man an opportunity to prove his claim that he spent last evening in company with some of the St. Louis' sailors. As Lellar walked up and down the line every sailor denied he knew hint. Lel lar was taken to police headquarters on a charge of unlawful entry. ESPAGNE REACHES NEW YORK New York, Feb. 8. The French Line steamship Espagne arrived here to-day with 16 7 passengers, including | Americans. She left Bordeaux on I January 28 and passed through the submarine zone before the new Ger man naval policy was put into effect. The officers refused to tell t,he route followed or whether any war vessels were sighted. Among the passengers was Elliott Cowdin, of Tuxedo, N. Y., a young American aviator, who has fought many battles over the French front. LA TOURAINE SAFE New York, Feb. 8. The steam ship La Touraine' has arrived safely at Bordeaux, according to private ad vices cabled here to-day. The vessel left New York January 28. U. S. TANKER PI TS TO SEA Philadelphia, Feb.
