Miss Stirling Defeated in Semi
Finals for National Title by

CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Miss Alcx.a
Stirling, tho sovcnteen-yoar-olil
Southern champion, was defeated In
thn semi-finals of the women's na
tional golf meet to-day In twenty
two holes by Mrs. C. II. Vanderbeck
of Philadelphia.
The other match went to Mrs. W.
A. (J.ivln of Kngland, who eliminated
Ernestine I'enrco of Chicago, S and 3,
After a hard struggle, tho uphill
light seemed to steady Miss Stirling
After being two down nt tho tlilr-
trcnth, alio nil but overhauled Mrs.
Vanderbeck by winning tho long llf
teenth In 4 and 5, nnd nearly taking
the abort ulxtconth. A twelvo foot
putt for a 2 was missed by an Inch
One down and two to play, Miss starl-
lug strove well on tho seventeenth,
but Mrs. Vandurbeck was right with
her.
Tlin Southerner was fifty yards
ahead on her second, but hooked her
long approach and had to play tho
odd on the green. Her thlrty-llvo
foot putt was four feet over, whllo
Mrs. Vnnderbeck'u twenty-foot at
tempt was a yard short. MUs Stir
ling's putt went almost to the bottom
of the flip, but bounced out. In tho
excitement the 1'hlladelphlan missed
her putt and was dormle one. Driv
ing t the 2l!G-y.ird homo green, the
strain affected both players. Miss
Stirling hooked to the rough under a
tree, whllo Mrs, Vanderbeck sliced to
the rough, but wus on tho green in
three. Miss Stirling's approach
tipped tho tree top, but reached the
green, lying fourteon feet nearer thn
nup than her opponent's ball. She
holed tho eighteen-foot putt for a
three and squared tho match.
The largo gallery went wild, cheer

British Craft Going to Rescue
of the Liner Nicosian Flew
American Flag.
An astounding story of alleged high
handedness nnd almost unbelievable
cruelty on the part of llrltlsh seamen
during tho shelling of tho Leyland
liner Nicosian by a German submarine
on April 19 was told to-day by Dr.
C. 11. Hanks of Memphis, Tenn., who
arrived In New York to-day on tho
steamship I-aplnnd.
Dr. Hanks, an American veterinarian
now In tho service of the llrltlsh Gov
ernment. was a passenger on thn
Nicosian. Ho said that whllo the
Ieyland liner was sinking a llrltlsh
pntrol boat, flying tho American flatr.
raced to tho scone.
Whcl she got near, according to
his story of tho sea trogedy, ahe low
ered the American flag and raised
thn llrltlsh Jack. Then tho submarine,
a monster In size, began shelling her.
The patrol boat replied and sank
the submarine, but tho eighteen Ucr
mans on board got out through tho
conning tower and began floundering
In tho water. It was then, according
to Dr. Hanks, that the Englishmen on
board tho patrol bout, thoroughly en
raged by tho shelling of tho Nicosian
and tho uttack made on them, ntood
on deck and fired with rifles on the
Hwlmmlng Germans, all of whom
sank.
"I was on board tho Nicosian when
slio left New Orleans for Queens
town," he said. "At 2.30 o'clock on
Aug. 19 wo were stopped by a Ger-
mun submarlno off tho coast of Ire
land. Instantly tho Captain of tho
Nicosian aent out a wireless call for
help. Tho submarlno mcantlmu kept
ciccplng up on us, and tho Captain
of tho Nicosian ordered full epeed
ahead.
"The commander of the submarine
warned us that If wo did not stop ho
our lifeboats and at tho name time
would lire. We then began manning
tho submarine began shelling us,
About forty shots were flrod and be
fore the bombardment was over tho
Nicosian began to alnk.
"In tho midst of tho shelling we saw
a boat approaching. Sho una flying
thn American (lag, but as she got
nearer wo rocognlzod her as a craft
which beforo thn war had been a Urlt
ish tramp steamship. As she came up
cloio the American flag was pulled
down and the llrltlsh ring run up
"Right at that time the scene was a
wild ono, Tho submarlno bogan sholl
tug '.he patrol boat. All of those
from tho Nicosian wore drifting about
in llfo boats.
"Tho mon on the patrol boat seemed
to bo In a white heat of fury. With
tho comparatively small arms on
board thoy lot loose at the big sub
marine, and down sho went. Thon
persons on the llrltlsh boat began
tiring on the men In tho wntcr. I must
say I felt little pity for the Qormans,
who had only a short time beforo had
boon seeking our lives."
Dr. Hanks left this afternoon for
Now Orleans, whoro ho Is scheduled
to tako another consignment of horsed
to England.

ALHANY, N. Y., Sept. 10. Ily a vote
of 118 to 33 tho Constitutional Con
vention to-dny finally approved ns a
whole ttus draft of tho new constitu
tion for New York State previously
adopted nrtlcle by article. There was
an unexpected Inst hour revolt of
Democrats, principally thoso from j
Manhattan and Hrooklyn. against tho
articles on legislative apportionment
and restricted home rule granted to
tho metropolis.
Whllo endorsing most of tho nrtt-
cles, thj New Yorkers vehemently
asserted that they could not vote for
tho Instrument as a whole with thoso
two objoctlonablo snctlonH Included.
Gladly would they support thn budget
article, tho reform of Stnto govern
ment and various other Improve
ments If only thoy wero separated
from the objectlonablo ones, but the
question being aye or nay on all
together the valiant minority, under
tho lead of Senator Wagner, Assem
blyman Smith and William F.
Sheehan, voiced their protest In vain
and went down to defeat, proclaim
ing that they could mako their objec
tions moro potont on Klectlon Day.
Thoro wero queer nnd unexpected
defections from and adhesions to the
revolt. Do Lancey Nlcoll and Morgan
J. O'Urlen deserted their Democratic
associates, but William Harnos, ox
dlctator of tho Itepubllcan organiza
tion, broko with his party and sul
lenly but defiantly voted against tho
new Constitution.
DARNES REFUSES TO AID CAU8E
OF 80CIALI8M.
I cannot," be said, "by my vote do
anything to aid tho cause of stato

He declared his opposition to those
articles relating to labor and social
betterment. Hay H. Smith of Byra-

principles. Edgar T. Hr.ickott of Sar
atoga and Lemuel 12. Qulgg of Colum
bia county, free lanco Itepubllcan re
actionaries, refused to vote cither
way.
"Tho convention," said Hrackett,
"doesn't dare submit to tho peoplo
this Instrument ns a whole, but makes
us vote on It so that darling of tho
short ballot Is to bo covered up In
the bflly of tho main Instrument In

hnil not been given out at 11 A. M. to

What the subject of this second
communication may be was n mys

to-day to study of Germany's noto on

Indicated that th German explana

Count von Hernstorff, the Germnn
Ambnssndor, had assured Secretary
Lansing that full satisfaction would

German submarine sunk the Arablo.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. President Wilson's request to Aus
tria to recall her ambassador, Dr. Comtantin Theodor Dumba, has
brought about a situation which contains possibilities of extending tip
other diplomats of the Germanic allies.
There is also a possibility that passports might be handed to" Dr.
Dumba. Secretary Lansing said today that the United States would
wait a reasonable time for Vienna to act.
Dr. Dumba used James F. J. Archilnld, an Ame.an bearing in
American passport, as a messenger to carry a communication to the
Vienna foreign office. Although it has not been called officially to
the attention of this Government, the State Department understands
unofficially that Archibald also carried a communication for Captain
Von Papen, military attache of the German embassy.
Secretary Lansing said today that the American Government views
the sending of any communication In the manner which Dr. Dumba
used an abuse of an American passport.

cuss tho nltuntlon further. It U
known that tho activities of Conaul
General von Nuber of Austria oa wall
as those of Count von licrnstorff. the
German ambassador, are again belntt
rcvlowed by the Htnto Department.
VON PAPEN MADE REFERENCE
TO AMERICAN OFFICIALS.
Captnln von I'apen's letter, which
wax a prlvato communication to Ma
wife, Is now on Its way to the State
Department from I.ondon. Official
said the fact that It wns n, private
anil not an mrtclal communication did
not alter tho case. It la understood
that the writer made slighting refer
ences to American officials.
Another document for which offi

negotiations between C nsul GenersJ
von Nuber and the editor of a foreign
language newspaper concerning; bring
ing about strikes In the Dethleham

It wan made plain that while the
Stato Department for some time has
been fully advised of tho activities of
Count von llernstorff, ho was not In
volved to the extent of being In the
same position uu Dr. Dumba, but that
there was serious consideration of
whether Captain von l'npen or Consul
Ocnernl von Nuber should bo allowed
to remain longer In tho country.
Archibald also carried a communi
cation for Count Hcrnstnff, but It was
a copy of a statement which had been
