WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 7.— There is a strong possibility that the United States may change its attitude toward what constitutes arming a merchant vessel, and in the light of the development of submarine war fare, may hold that the mounting of small defense guns only, heretofore considered as not arming a ship, may be considered armament which will remove the vessel from the non-com batant class. State Department officials gave strong indications of this today and stated that when the United States at the beginning of the war declared that passenger ships carrying defense guns of small calibre would be per mitted to enter and leave American ports and would not be classed as war vessels, submarine warfare had not developed to its present stage. Officials pointed out that a 4.7 gun such as is reported to have been mounted on the Hesperian is of suffi cient size to sink a submarine. Proof of this fact, officials think, might be construed as a purpose to challenge th German blockaders. It was pointed out that the British ship Waimana mounting a small gun has been held up for some time at Newport News while the State De partment has been deciding her status. Officials admitted that a decision on this point involving a change in the American procedure toward such ships would be of far reach import ance to the international situation arising over the submarine question.

The outstanding feature of the program in the trust company divi sion was a discussion of the right of Congress to confer trust powers upon national banks after an ad dress on that topic by Henry M.

He said he came to this country for a vacation and would re main until November 5, Mr. Gon zales will make a brief visit to Wash ington to discuss department busi ness with Secretary Lansing. Cuba is in excellent financial con dition, Mr. Gonzales said, due to the higher price brought by its sugar crop. This result was attained, he said, despite the fact that the yield was below that of last year. The revenue it brought was fully $65,- 000,000 in gold above the price paid last year. Prospects for next year, he said, were good, and if similar conditions continued it was expect ed that the increase in value of the sugar crop over normal would be be ¬ tween $80,000,000 and ally fair with temperature above nor mal. Temperature is also above the seasonal average over the northern districts east of the Rocky Mountains and close to normal on the Pacific slops.

C., TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1915, TIMES PLATFORM HASN’T VARIED IN FOUR YEARS Announcement Made in 1911 of The Paper’s Policy Still Holds Good Four years ago THE TIMES laid down a platform which, although it was considered somewhat crude at that time, has been observed almost to the letter. The following item is reprinted from the issue of Sept im- ber 7, 1911: “We believe in the city of RA LEIGH, the county of Wake, and the State of North Carolina, We might go a little farther than this by saying that we believe in the greatest coun try on the top or bottom side of this old globe. Our main interests, how ever, are centered right here at home, and we propose to be heard from whenever we see an opportunity to do anything whatever that will aid in the legitimate growth and better ment of our very own town. “If there was ever a time when the city of RALEIGH had a real oppor tunity before it to be something, that time is certainly at hand. With over two million dollars going into new buildings right away, the most skep tical groutch can’t help confessing that RALEIGH is a growing town. We want to become directly identified with this progres—to become a part of it. We want to help—we want to be helped to do it—as the city grows we want to grow with it. “We propose to print what is call ed news six days in each week. We are going to keep this news clean and decent. We probably will be too busy —we hope so at any rate—to bother with any little squabbles that the ma jority of our subscribers might not relish. The fact is, that our sub scribers have go to be Dleased or this paper will hav^ to cash in its checks. Another class of people that we pro pose to be friendly with consists of those folks who pay us their coin for advertising space. “Politicians, we need of course, but getting down to brass tacks, there aren’t many newspapers in this country that don’t take more inter est in the business man who pays in forty or fifty or a hundred or more a month for advertising than they do of the smooth politician with strong cigars and prepared-in-advance inter views. “This is a RALEIGH newspaper for RALEIGH people. Its columns are open and its policies are also. We may be censured sometimes, and we may censure other folks and other things. But as long as our friends pay their subscriptions and advertis ing bils, we’ll have no kick coming.” Hunting Opens in Minnesota CROOKSTON, MINN..

The state department , d the white house continued to delay any action or decision. Secretary Lansing said his reports were inconclusive and failed to es tablish exactly how the ship was de stroyed.

The Overseas Officers Statement QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 7..— (1:00 p. m.)—Wesley Frost, Am-^rican con sul, has obtained a joint statement from officers of the Hesperian. It does not throw any new light, how ever, on the question whether the ship was warned or whether a sub marine was sighted. Survivors assert they learned early on the day of the disaster that a sub marine had been sighted, and say the Hesperian kept a zig-zag course thereafter. Some passengers say, however, that if a submarine was sighted they are unable to under stand why more elaborate prepara tions were not made to place life- belts and life-boats in readiness. News Agency says that a panic was caused in Petrograd yesterday by ru mors that the Russian Baltic port of Riga had been captured. “The Lokal Anzeiger publishes pri vate tiegrams from Stockholm,’’ says the News Agency, “stating that the Russian capital was thrown into con fusion by reports that the positions on the Dvina line had been captured, that Russian armies had been de stroyed, that Riga had been taken and that the German advance upon the capital would be no longer hr .1- pered. Immense crowds gathered in front of the newspaper offices. There was great excitement and many ar rests were made. “Toward evening the newspapers published extra editions containing official denials of these rumors and saying that the Russian defensive po sitions were still intact. However, the spread of panic at the capital and reports of Emperor Nicholas' trip to the front are only a pretense to veil the removal of the emperor’s residence to the interior.” Justice Knowles Was Shot and Killed From Am bush By Some Se cret Hand (By the Associated Press.) PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 7.— Efforts were made by the authorities today to trace the movements of per sons alleged to have shown unfriend liness toward Justice Willis S. Knowles, of the Eighth District Court, who was murdered at North Scituate yesterday. The theory to which the police in timated they were most inclined to attach importance was that the jus tice was shot by some one who was in fear of prosecution as a result of Justice Knowles activities in trying in trying to bring about the punish ment of violators of the fish and game laws. A search for one suspect during the night was without result. It was announced today that the body of Justice Knowles would be taken to his former home at Hocking Port, Ohio, for burial.

She grasped the barrel of a revolver pressed into her face, threw it over her head and began to struggle with the man, calling out an alarm to her servants. Mrs. Armour had. retired for the night when a knock was heard at her door, her maid. She called the name of The man answered in a falsetto voice. She threw open the door and stood face to face with a experiencing great difficulty in bridging the portions of the Dvina held by the Germans. The current of the river is too swift for the con struction of pontoon bridges under the Russian artillery fire.

All Americans safe. Governor demur well with RALEICH. The entire city has been sprinkled with im provements and dotted with addi tional beauty spots. It has been truly a period of renaissance. Dur ing the past four years RALEIGH has undergone the most remarkable transition in its history. It has sprung from a large town to a city of hustle and bustle. Everybody says so. In 1911 the population was just about 20,000, the census of 1910 having given it 19.218. In 1915 the State, city and postoffice authorities estimate the population as 25,000 in round numbers. Previous to 1911, while RALEIGH had held its own, it had shown no remarkable tendency to take on the kind of re-vitalized activity that it has manifested since that time. Growth Is General The growth of this city during the past four years has not been con fined to any one line. It has not been confined to building nor to popula tion, nor to methods, but has taken in all of these. Today the business men of this city are employing metropolitan methods of carrying on their affairs. This being the case, they draw trade from a large surrounding country. It has been necessary for nearly every railroad operating trains here to in crease their passenger facilities to accommodate the trade that centers here. In the stores a remarkable improvement is noted. No longer are any antequated methods employed. Everything is up-to-date. Improvements Continue Not only- are the merchants em ploying up-to-date methods inside their places of business, but it is re markable to note how many of them, with the past four years, have se cured the most modern methods of delivering goods. Scores of RA LEIGH merchants today have auto mobile trucks at their disposal. Too, most of them are today doing busi ness in either new or newly-remodel ed houses. And the end is not yet. Right now Fayetteville, Martin and other streets are literally covered with scaffolding, indicating a. con tinuance of activity. Even within the past year the merchants of RA LEIGH have been carrying on their improvements, while those of many other cities, especially in the cotton section, have been scared off. But. ROBERT 5..

PORTLAND, MAINE, Sept. 7.— A different route than that followed by the two previous shipments of gold to New York from England by way of Halifax, was taken today by the special train of seven steel ex press cars, carrying more than $50,- 000,000 worth of gold and bonds to strengthens the British credit in this country.

HUGE GOLD SHIPMENT IS NOT RELISHED (By the Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Interna tional bankers here did not altogeth er relish today the news from Port land. Maine, that more than $65,- 000,000 in gold coin was speeding to New York to bolster Great Britain’s credits. It comes, it was said, at a time when gold is wanted less than ever before. Bringing this mountain of gold to New York at a time when the normal demands of business are lower than usual, and when the vaults are al ready choking with gold, may, it is feared, accelerate the tendency to ward inflation and speculation. Al ready, according to the weekly state ment of the federal reserve board as of September 3, the gold reserve in national banks has reached the total of $268,000,000.
