New York, Oct. 10. A day and night
without further news of the U-53 has
not quieted the anxiety in shipping
circles caused by the attack of the
German submarine commerce raider
off the coast of Nantucket.. If any-
thing the disappearance or tue u-Doat;

en by ship owners and agents of the
vessels of the entente allies.
Passengers and freight liners steam
ed into port this morning by unusual
courses, which carried them far out
of their customary lanes. Cargoes
worth millions are at stake in the
hide and seek game, which may now
be going on.
Exporters say the submarine raids
and the continued advance- of insur
on trans-Atlantic travel which
a v
ance
has amounted m some cases to 500
per cent, will check shipping to some
extent from New York.
Word was received from New Or

ports state that insurance rates have
advanced. "

President Studying Situation.
Long Branch, Oct. 10. President
Wilson gave attention today to the
consideration of the facts collected
by the navy department concerning
the submarine attacks off the Atlant
ic' coast. The President shut himself
in his study and went carefully over
the evidence collected so far.
There was no evidence that the
President's information necessitated
drastic action by the "American gov
ernment. The President has on his
program conferences with Secretary
Lansing and the"TFench Ambassador
Mr. Lansing will not come to
Shadow Lawn until late this after
noon and will take dinner with the
President and remain there over
night. The Ambassador has a per
sonal letter from President Poincare,
of France to Mr. Wilson on Polish re
lief, but it was expected that the
new German submarine activities
would be discussed.
It is not thought that the Am
erican government will take any im
mediate action in the recent German
submarine attacks but serious con
sideration was given as to the ques
tion of whether attacks on merchant
vessels so near the American ports
does not constitute a virtual blockade
of American ports.
James W. Gerard, American Am
bassador to Germany, who arrived in
New York from Germany is not ex
pected to see the President until next
work, it was stated that Mr. Ger
ard does not come on a peace mis
sion and that his trip has nq cpnnec-
':on with the submarine question,
but is simply a vacation.
tire
President Wilson plans to lea
here tomorrow afternoon for Indian
napolis where he will deliver two
addresses Thursday afternoon. It
is reported here today that he has
shown no indications of cancelling
bis trip and that was taken as a sign
that so far he does not consider the
submarine question critical.

This may be the blow delivered below

the French policy of swinging the

Although the great battle now go

ANNIVERSARY OF
FATHER MATHEW
New York, Oct. 10 Today is the
125th anniversary of the birth of Fa
ther Theobold Mathew, the "Apostle
of Temperance," who during his life
time gave the pledge of temperance
to more than 2,000,000 persons in
England, Ireland and America. Among
the names that have figured con
spicuously in the history of Ireland,
none is held in higher esteem than
of Father Mathew. The work . begun
by him in 1838, when he started on
his total abstience crusade, still goes
on, and there is scarcely a city or
town in the United States or in the
British empire that has not a Father
Mathew society. It was sixty-seven
years ago, in 1849, that Father Math
ew began his great work in this
country, , when he ,gave the pledge
to more than 600,000 in two years.

Newport, R.M., Oct. 10. The crew
of the British steamer. Kingston,
which has been missing since Sun
day when the members abandoned
the ship at the order of the German
submarine in the waters off Nantuck
et have not been heard from today.
Elevenorpedo boat destroyers were.
dispatched in the vicinity of the light
ship to continue the search.
No further report of the submarines
or submarines which caused the de
struction of the ships Sunday has
come to hand. There has been no
trace of the submarine since its last '
victim went down. . Search for the
missing crew was halted yesterday
on the receipt of the report that, some
of the men had been found. There
was no confirmation of this by wire
less and in fact jthe reports were de
nied officially.
As the men have been in the open
boats 36 hours andTare probably with
out food the anxiety on the part of
the crews of the -destroyers to locate
them, especially as the weather be
came extremely cold last night, is
great.
No additional information bearing
on the submarine raid reached this
port this morning. Wireless stations,
as

Markets Around New Bern
Making Record Sales of
The Popular Weed.
New Bern, Oct. 10. Mr. D. E. Hen
derson, of this city, secretary of the
Craven county Democratic Executive
Committee and presidential elector'
for this district, yesterday made ad
dresses before the- Democratic voters
at Dixon and Swansboro, Onslow
county.'
The voters in that section arc tak
ing an active interest in the present
political situation and arrangements
have been made to have them ad
dressed by a number of influential
party members during the next few
weeks.
Regardless of the fact that, much
of the crop has already been disposed
of, the sales on the local market dur
ing the past week have been very en
couraging and the farmers have been
paid top notch prices for the weed
which they have brought to New Bern.
The season is fast drawing to a
close, but before the warehouses end
up the season several hundred thous
and pounds of the weed will be offer
ed for sale and this is expected to be
an exceptionally good quality and even
highere prices than have already been
paid out here, may be -given for this.
Residents of Vanceboro coming to
New Bern state that the sales of to
bacco being made at the warehouse
at that place continue to be heavy and
that thousands of pounds of the weed
change hands there each day.
The Vanceboro market is compar
atively young, but it has already prov
en to be one of the most progressive
in Eastern North Carolina and is
growing in size and strength each
season.
"I like New Bern and its people and
I am going to remain here if possible,"
said Mr. W. H. Garrett, keeper of the
National cemetery, today when asked
in regard to his possible transfer to
another point.
Mr. Garrett stated that he received
a letter fto.m. the department a few
days ago asking if he would object to
being changed to Memphis, Tenn., and
he at oncewrote and protested aginst
this. ,

Washington, Oct. 1Q. The. United

warship, be allowed to put into harbor

of the State Department announced
today.

submarine in navies of belligerent
powers." y
Mr. Polk announced the depart
ment's position but refused to discuss
the reason for it. The claim of the
Allies is that the submarines are out
lawed as the note cabled last night
brought up the question, as to whether
this government may not be sued for
damages, resulting from the call of the
U-53 at a port before- she . started on
her raid. The Allies took the position
that Newport was the base from
which the submarine destroyed $6,t
000,000, worth of damage to ships and
trading. This government, however,
holds that a warship has a right to en
ter the harbors and the U-53 in no way
attempted to use Newport for a base.

"blackball and defiance" the morn

about the German submarine cam

The general sentiment of the press
here is that Germany is challenging
the United States, with confidence
that the challenge will not be taken
up. The newspapers express the
opinion that the submarine campaign
off the American coast is the last
touch to a situation which is becom
ing impossible to the neutral nations,
owing to the sinking of Scanda

declare that the neutrals must feel
bound to act as the navigation of the

FIFTEEN NEW CASES

New Yorl$, Oct. 10 fifteen new
cases of infantile paralysis, with four
more deaths, were reported by the
ROOM INFESTED
WITH INSECTS
Complaint Voiced Regarding
Treatment Mrs. Chandler
Was Subjected to.
The Board of Health is meeting this
afternoon and it is very probable that
the condition of the room Mrs? E.
C. Chandler and her baby were assign
ed to in the isolated ward at the James
Walker Memorial Hospital will come
in for a bit of discussion, although Dr.
Chas. T. Nesbitt, county health of
ficer, stated this afternoon that the
matter had been satisfactorily adjust
ed and that Mrs. Chandler and her
baby, who has infantile paralysis, will
be made as comfortable as possible
during their period of retirement.
When questioned this afternoon,
Dr. Nesbitt stated that the room Mrs.
Chandler and baby were assigned to
was infected with insects and vermin,
but added that the Board of Health
had been notified by the hospital au
thorities that the ward was ready for
occupancy and that he had no reason
to feel that it was not in the proper
condition to receive the patient and
Mrs. Chandler. Mrs. Chandler and her
baby were carried to the hospital yes
terday afternoon and a list of grocer
ies made out and ordered sent there.
The Board of Health, according to Dr.
Nesbitt, thought the Hospital authori
ties would supply Mrs. Chandler with
cooking utensils, but this was not done
and although she had plenty of gro
ceries, she had no way of preparing a
meal. It seems there was a misunder
standing between the hospital authori
ties and the Board of Health as to who
was to supply Mrs. Chandler with
cooking utensils.
Mr. Fenly, the night engineer at the
hospital, was attracted to the room oc-
and he procured some milk for the
mother and her baby, according to
Dr. Nesbitt. Dr. Stovall was up the
greater part of last night looking after
the comfort of Mrs. Chandler and her
child, after learning of existing con
ditions. Dr. Nesbitt stated this afternoon that
as soon as he learned the room was not
in good condition that he ordered it
thoroughly cleaned and equipped with
new furnishings throughout. Cook
ing utensils were procured, clean and
fresh linen was put on the bed; in
tact, tne room was completely re
furnished and a telephone is to bejSctt to Hoblitzell. Miller up. Miller
installed in order that Mrs. Chandler fanned on three pitched balls. Coombs
can communicate with her husband
and with friends. It is Dr. Nesbitt's
intentions to make Mrs. Chandler as
comfortable as possible and he stated
today that he regrets very much that
conditions were not what they should
have been when she was carried to
the hospital.
