Al most immediately great volumes of water poured through the open ings and the Lusitania listed. Boats which were already swung oat on . the. davits were dropped overboard an d W5je speeds lly filled with passengers who had been appalled by the desperate attiok. A wireless call for help waa sent , out, and immediately rescue boats of all kinds were sent both from the neighboring points along the coast and Qaeecstown. Within 15 minutes, as one sur vivor estimated, and certainly within half an hour, the Lnsita uia, had disappeared. Where Great Britain's fastest merchant vessel went down, Old Head Kinsale, is a landmark that has brought to joy many travelers as it always has stood as the sign from shore that the perils of the voyage across the Atlantio were at an end. The line whose boast that it has never lost a passenger in the At lantic service has lost the ship that dodged the lurking enemy of Nantucket Light the day after war was declared and later star- teled the world by flying the Stars and Stripes. The British Admirality is dis couraging the publication of sar- noises aDd guesses regarding the dead and injured. Even before details are known the British press it asking editorially what will the United States say to this event and how will she hold Ger many to the "strict accountabili ty" mentioned in previous diplo matic correspondence. The office of the Ounard Line closed shortly after 11 o'clock tonight and officers of the com pany state there would be no fur ther information coming from the line until the offices cpened to morrow.

"Prom the day we sailed we complacently spoke of the possibilities of the Germau menace, but no one believed it, lor we Boomed the idea of being torpedoed," said F. J. Gauntlett, shocked officials of States Government of Washington who was travel infffay qqq with A. L. Hopkins, among the missing, and S. M, Kncx, of Phil adelphia, who waa saved. "A number of us. were going over on business. It was shortly after two, probably ten minutes past, and I was lingering in the dining saloon chatting with my friends, when the first explosion occurred. We knew at onoe what happened. Shortly the ship listed peroeptibly, 1 shouted to the others to close the ports. : Some of us went to our births and put on life belts . " Oh' making-pur-way ; . to - the deck we were informed that there was no danger, and we need not be alarmed, but the ship waa gradu ally sinking deep into the water and efforts twere made to launch the boats. "Fifty or more people entered the first boat and as it swung from the davits it fell suddenly . I think most of the occupants perished. Other boaia : were launched with the greatest diffi culty. "Women and children under the protection of men had cluster ed in lines on the port side and as the ship .made her plunge, down a little by the head and heeling at an angle of nearly 98 degrees, this little army slid down toward the starboard side, dashing them selves against each other as they went, until they were engulfed." Mr. Gauntlett said that he heard only one explosion and the whole tragedy was over in 20 min utes. Washington, D. 0., Map 8.

Kinsale, Ireland, May 10. The coroner's jury investigating the deaths of five persons drowned when the Co narder Lnsitania was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland last Friday returned ar verdict here today charging "the offioers of said sub marine and the Emperof and,gov ernmenlof Germany nnder. whose orders they acted, with the crime of wholesale murder t before the tribunal of the civilized world." Captain Turner of the. Latitania was tne, prmotpai witness, tie told the jury he did not see any submarines either before or after his ship was torpedoed He was on the bridge when hit vessel first was struck and immediately gave feeders for the lowering of the boats and the piscina! of the wo men and children in them. He said there was no panio : that it wai almost calm. Many of the boats could- not be lowered because 4f the list of the steamer the witness continued. He was unable to say how , many boats were put overboard, nor was he able to tell the extent of the damage to the Lnsitania - He gave it as his opinion, . however, thajt the .watertight compartments were blown asunder by the force of the explosion, These compart ments he said were all closed when the ship was struck and yet. she remained 8 flbat only 18 minutes. Captain Turner said that after the warnings at New York that the Lnsitania would be torpedced' he did not mak any application to the Admirality for an escort.

He testified that all the water-tight oompartments were closed, but that the force of the explosion and rush of water must have burst them open. Iu summing up the esse Coroner Horgau charged that the respon sibility ''lay on the German Gov ernment and the whole people of Germany who collaborated in the terrible crime. The verdict of the coroner's jury follows. "We find that the deceased .met death from prolonged immerson and exhaustion in the sea eight miles south-southwest of Old Head Kinsale, Friday, May 7, 1915, owing to the sinking of the Lnsitania by torpedoes fired by a German submarine. We find that this appalling crime was committed contrary to international law and and the con ventions of all civilized Nationr. 'We also charge the 'officers of said submarine and the Emperor and Government of Germany, under whose- orders they acted, with he crime of wholesale mur der before the tribunal of the civilized world: Mm m-mw a "we. aesire to express sincere condolence and sympathy with the relatives of the. deceased, the Ounard Company . and the United States, many of whose citizens perished in this, murderous attack on an unarmed liner." Coroner Horgan said that the fifBi torpedo fired by the German snHmarine did serious damage to the Lasitanta, but that, iiot satis fi-td with this the Germans had discharged another torpedo. The seoond, torpedo he said mutt have been more- deadly because -it went right through the ship, hastening Ihe woxkr etdoitxuotion. WuEFe is Sctaiili? Gn Catholics be Loyal Americans? Cm Tlif Serit Two Uisfirs? From-The Menace. r Who knows what dispositions has been made of Hans Schmidt, perhaps we should . say Father" Schmidt, who killed and ; cut up Anna Anmutler iu New-York some time ago? It was a mean trick he played on the girl, cut her down in the bloom of youth and then cut her op, and he should suffering pangs, of remorse, if he is not suf fering in other ways. We are in formed that his sentence of death was oommuted tor life imprison ment hut instead of being inoar oersted in.a.Atbn's oell he is said to be whiling away the time in an insane asylum, taking life easy at government expense, and waiting for the time to come when he may be quietly removed and set up in some aistant ana seoluded . spol for season in preparation for the restoration of his right to do as he pleases - , It is haH to. put the legal thumb upon l ?'Fi' W, with sufficient force to hoM him still for any great length of time. Priest Mul len, of Hillside fame, is ontfide the pale of the law, though a mur derer. Father" , Fitzpatrick, onoe of Portland, Ore , is at large though a confessed forger. These holy remegades have ways of get ting behind the law ahd winking at justioe, whioh, if they had been known and understood by the Terre-Haute orooks, might have ba-n used to their personal advan tage. As the secret seems to be the private property of .the holy Romish ruffians the Terra Haute orowd had to submit to the law and are now doing time at the Leaven worth prison. iTheyare only hu man and must sutler . for their weakness . .Schmidt, Mullen; and Fitzpatriok are gods, ofatleast semi-gods, and to them favrrs must be extended even though they make of themselves a public menace. This one faeulty of the papal power, the power to seoure clem enoy, no matter what the crime, is in itself a danger to aooietv whioh should be reckoned with when considering tha.meuaoe of Catholicism to our . nation, aiuoe its possession removes mnoh of the fear of consciences when overt aots ar contemplated. Aa. long as the priest feels seoure in his "Holier than Thou" .relation to the rest of the word, his arrogance will be assertive in forwarding papal interests with Jesuitical cunning, Iuquisitional . cruelty, legislative intrigue, K. C. moh rule and the bullet or bludgeon. Until the priestly , degenerates and criminals are treated as other humans are treated when, they trangress the moral and criminal oode, we can hardly feel . the re- speot one should feel toward a re ligion, there is not enough sancti ty in their acts to base a human faith upon. - ABE THEY tOYAL? , According to a Roman Oatholio paper, the papists are in politics to the following extent, it says: Very slowly, but, let ns devout ly hope, none th6 less surely Catholics are coming in to ; their own so far as adequate representa tion in public lile is oancerned. There are now, for the firs time, six Oatholio members of the Unit ed States Senate, Messis. Ashurst of Arizona, Borussard and Raus dell oi Louisiana, O'Goiman of New York, Phelan of California, and Walsh of Montana, all clever and creditable representatives of of our faith. . How oau these men be loyal representatives of the people and the pope at one and the same time? The prpe says Jioman Catholic an thoritv is superior and above that of state, and whed in conflict: 'To hell with- the government." How can these men vote for free press, free spe'eoh and free schools, when they bearbrst allegiance to the pope who is absolutely oppos ed to these constitutional, guaran tees? These senators have placed themselves in a position1 where tney are- -expected to serve two masters. Oaq-tbey do it?
