Cunard Company Asked
Admiralty to Advise
Lusitania of Danger
London, June 16. The inquiry into
the sinking of the Lusitania was re
sumed today with the examination of
Alfred A. Booth, chairman of the
board of directors of the Cunard
Line company. Attorney General
Sir Edward Carson, asked Mr. Booth
why the Lusitania was economizing
by using only nineteen of her 25-boil-ers
at the time she was torpedoed.
"So far as submarines are concern
ed, there is no difference between 21
knots and 2 4.5 kr o;d," Mr. Booth re
plied. Mr. Carson then asked where there
would have been any difference be
tween 18 knots, the speed at which
the Lusitania was proceeding, and 21
knots. Mr. Booth replied that never
before had any steamer making over
fourteen knots an hour been struck by
a torpedo from a submarine.
Mr. Booth said the Cunard company
had been unable to communicate by
wireless to Captain Turner except
through the admiralty and had there
fore sent no wireless instructions to
the commander of the vessel. General
Instructions had been given previous
ly, he said.
Mr. Booth said that Captain Turner
had been fctven entire discretion in
operating the vessel. He said the
company had received no word from
Captain Turner during the voyage;
and that on tlnj morning of the day
the Lusitania was torpedoed the com
pany had asked the admiralty to com
municate with the ship concerning
threats against it.
Captain Turner of the Lusitania,
was the principal witness yesterday.
He appeared to be In good physical
condition and in full control of his
nerves. His Voice was hearty and
firm, his manner brisk and his an
swers prompt.

Herblao, the celebrated medicine
that la accomplishing such astonishing
results In the larger cities, will be dis
tributed in Asheville exclusively by
Teague Se Oates. This important an
nouncement was made by A. G. Payne,
the noted philanthropist, who is per
sonally directing the introduction of
Herblao to prove his theories on
health.
Payne was seen to excellent advant
age last evening at the Langren
where he is stopping during his Ashe
ville engagement. After stating that
he would in some way contribute
very substantially to charities of this
city, he talked freely and frankly of
the results of his famous medicine,
Herblac, and among other things,
said:
"Probably the most prevalent and
distressing condition is chornic ca
tarrh of the mucous membranes. Ca
tarrh of the stomaoh is the most fre
quent cause of dyspepsia, and catarh
al conditions of the nose and throat
lead to inevitable deafness. Show,me
man whose hearing is affected and
will show you a man who is suffer
lng from catarrh."
"Frequently, " he continued, "the
lungs become affected by the exten
sion of catarrhal Inflamatlon by way
of the bronchial tubes to he lung sub
stance.
"The mental and physical state of
chronic catarrh sufferers is Indeed
very unfortunate, and it is surprising
to know what an immense number
of people among those who reside in
such cities as Asheville, are really
suffering from this almost universal
malady, and who think something
else is wrong with them."
Mr. Payne ennumerated the symp
toms of catarrh, such as offensive
breath, constant sniffling, discharges
from the nose, droppings In the throat
frequent sneezing, watery eyes, full'
ness in the head, headaches, depress
slom of spirits, 9 susceptibility to
coughs and colds, eta
He said he would prove to the peo
pie of Asheville that , Herblac will
combat these conditions the same as
it had among thousands elsewhere.

Chapel Hill, June 17. The. Univer
sity summer school has started the
28th. Tuesday and Wednesday were
registration days, and on Thurs
day work will begin in earnest. Over
400 teachers and 'students have 'signi
fied their Intention of attending while
those who have made no reservations
and others who will enter late, will
probably bring the number up to 650.
There is every indication of this being
the most successful and profitable ses
sion in the history of the school. The
enlarged aourse of study, the special
lectures by well known authorities.
the conferences, the varied social en
tertainments and the Ideal surround
Ings are features which will make the
term both profitable and enjoyable.
Since the cost to teachers la extremely
low about thirty dollars there will
be an opportunity to combine business
with vacation; hence teachers will re
turn to their work prepared In body
and mind to serve most effectively the
children of the state.
The new athletlo field, the gift of
Captain Emersan of Baltimore, Is now
an assured fact. The plans have been
drawn, specifications made, and the
contract ' given. It is expected that
the field will be ready for use by fall.
The campus. is being enlivened by
many little Improvements preparatory
to the opening of the summer school.
The dormitories are being thoroughly
overhauled, walks planned, and every
thing put In comfortable shape.
Of what value Is a college educa
tion? Statistics compiled of the class
of 1913 present facts bearing on this
hazy subject. Of the 188 men who
entered the class, 37 are teachers, 29
are farmers, 26 are students, 23 busi
ness men, 14 are insurance and real
estate men, and the rest are following
divers pursuits. Nineteen of the num
ber are married, while in 18 states
theVe are representatives of the class.
The average salary of 60 men who
sent In reports is 2106.13 a month.
The highest salary paid a member of
the class is 2200 a month; the lowest
250. From such data one may draw
interesting conclusions.
