,tepped Quickly to his side, as Mr.

opinid ? whispered conversation that
luted ll-SOt * ??<? minutes.
A ihort time later it was rumored
?bit Senator Thompson had asked Mr.
JlcCall to resign as chnirman of the
??miision.
?Ij there SBTthlBf in that rumor?"
Senitor Thompson SHU asked.
??I won't discuss it in any way," he
replied, and numerous question? de
litr.ed to bring out either contirrr.ation
or denial were similarly answered.
There is no reason to doubt that this
retnor wai well-founded, and there Is
icareely any reason to doubt that
Chairman McCall'? reception of this
request 7ook the form of a refusal.
H? believes, and his associates on the
-io" believe, that when the
Thompson t'ommittee makes its report
? ?,o Govern?.r Whitman it will urge the
removal oi sei ry member of the serv.ee

The '. ervies chairman was

Oscar Hammerstein, who on Tuesday
adviied the committee that Mr. McCall
h?d argued a case against him in the
Supreme Court while a member of the

Miss Flynn, in Disguise,
Invades Paterson in Vain
Clothed in Garments of Woman Friends, She Tries to Run
Gantlet to Speak in Hall but Detectives
Bar Way.
Ellsaheth Gurloy Flynn, supporte
| by a group of Manhattan women know
i for their radical view? and their dcvc
| tion to suffrage, had one of her atrug
? gles with the police of Paterson, N. J
last night. They went there to protes
; in the name of free speech against th
| expulsion of Miss Flynn from PateiSM
) on a former speech-making occasion.
Going out on the train Mi?*? Flynn'i
companions had donated various ar
i tides of their apparel, nil for the pur
1 pose of helping her run successful!}
the gantlet of Paterson police observa
| tion. She borrowed a coat fr.ifi lier
trude Marion Williams, a hat frorr
Rose Carpenter, Mary Austin, the nov?
elist, parted with a set of furs, and, tc
, make the disguise complete, Miss Flynr
had a large muff, in which sho buried
her face.
Thus attired and surrounded bv a
cohort of friend?, the girl, who has
been officially barred from making
speeches in Paterson, started to run up
the stairway of Institute Hall, in Elli?
son Street. *
"Ah, there, Miss Flynn! No you
don't!" said Captain of Detective?
Tracey as he charged into the group
and took her by the arm. "You're not
: going ir.to the hall to-night and you
know it."
Miss Flynn and twenty-five others
demanded in one chorus to know why.
"She can't go in," replied Tracey.
"I'm not here to argue with you. Them's
my orders, and I shall stick by them."
Six big detectives blocked the stair?
way effectually every time Miss Flynn
gave indications of starting to defy
the law. One of the women suggested
that they call on Mayor Fordyce. "lie's
out of town," said Tracey. They would
complain to Chief Bimsofl against this
outrage. "He's sick in bed," sind
Tracey.
Leonard Abbott, president of the
'Free Speech League, and Carlo Tre?r
could not give any assistance. The
had been picked out of the crowd b
detectives vvhvvo jumped from a build
ing near the railroad station an
warned them that they were not t)
attempt to attend the mass meeting.
"What do you have to say in I'ater
son to get arrested?" demanded Mar;
Austin of the imperturbable detectives
"What did Elizabeth ('uriey Flynn ?a;
when she WBs h?*re? If I knew what i
was I'd say it.'because I'd lore to ge
arrested." There were no arrests.
After an argument with the owner o:
the hall over payment of the rent th?
women held iheir meeting, with Mrs
If.rioB B. Co ihren presiding. In th?
ab.-ence oi Miss Flynn her speech wa?
read by the chairman It was a gen
eral plea for free speech, for which oui
forefathers fought and bled and died
Every woman who had gone to tesl
the I'aterson police made a speech, in
eluding Eva Ward, chairman of th?
press bureau for the New Jersey suf?
fragists; Lou Rogers, suffragist car?
toonist; Dr. Mary Equi of Portland,
Ore.; Miss Viva Flaherty, secretary te
the Rev. .lohn Harnes Holmes; Maml
Malone, Mary Austin, Sarah Addington,
Henrietta lio.?man, Mrs. Messie Bruere,
Pose Caipenter and Katherine Leckie.
They addressed an audience of four
hundred, which jeered the Paterson
police at every opportunity. A resolu?
tion of protest, to be forwarded to
President Wilson, '.van passed after all
the women in the invading party had
signed it.
"Just think." said Mrs. Cothren, the
chairman, "the President granted an
audience to Miss Flynn and Mrs. J.
Sergeant Cram on commuting the sen?
tence of Joseph Hillstrom, convicted of
murder in Salt Lake City. And here the
I'aterson police won't let her talk at a
meeting."
"Oisitrnceful! " echoed the chorus as
they started tor th" station to catch
the 10:20 train for Manhattan.
"Henceforth I shall make my abode
in Peterson," Miss Flynn announced
when she arrived in this city last night,
fr?vl? froi?. h.?r defeat at tho hands of
the Paterson police "I shall cease to
agitate from the outside, but you may
look for me '" <!" plenty of agitating
from the inside after I get settled out
there."

$750,000 FIRE
WRECKS FOURTH
MUNITION PLANT
Roebling Sons' Wire Cable
Shops at Trenton
Destroyed.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 11. The fourth
fire within twenty-two hours which
damaged or destroyed important units
of big American plants engaged in the
manufacture of munitions for the En?
tente Allies occurred here early to-day
when the new wire rope shop of the
John A. P.oeblir.g Sons C-Ompaay was
reduced to a scrap heap.
A four story building, 200 feet wide
by 700 feet long, built ia lCllO, equipped
with the finest machinery in the coun?
try for the manufacture of w.re rope,
was still smouldering to-night, despite
th?; seven streams of water that were
playing upon its sizzling, twisted gir?
ders. A plant that on Wednesday was
turning out enormous product? with
great profit to its owners now lies
a mass of junk. A million dollars gone
up in smoke, is the way the factory men
express the loss, but a more conserva?
tive estimate puts the value of the
wrecked factory at about $710,000,
The Roebling fire followed close upon
tho di of the four-inch j*un
.hop of the Bethlehem Ste?*l Company,
at South Bethlehem, Penn., and the
burning of the pattern shop of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, at Chester,
Penn., both on Wednesday. The third
fire was in the Skelly Bolt Works in
Philadelphia to-day.
In the South B.fhlehem and Chester
fires there are reasons for believing
plots in behalf of the Teutonic allies
were responsible, but little appears in
the Roebling blaze to suggest that the

I.ay on Bed, with Husband
Nearby on Floor.
Henry Carl Ruppert, said to be a re?
tired business man of Richmond, Va.,
killed his wife and himself yesterday
afternoon in a room which they had
occupied ?ince Tuesday r.ight in the
Hotel McAlpln. A diary kept by Ru*7>
pert told the motive for the double
crime jealousy on the part of his
wife. Notes of detailed happenings
were written on memorandum paper of
the Hotel Windsor, Trenton. N, J., be?
ginning with November 6 and including
November 10.
On the last day, Wednesday, the day
before the tragedy, he wrote: "R. be?
gin? to dig her finger nails and fight
me. One thing brings on another as
I tell her about my trip to Richmond
tluring fair week. She continued to
fight. J uni scratched all up and
bruised."
Mr. and Mrs. Ruppert came to the
hotel Tuesday night and were assigned
to a moderately priced room and bath
on the third floor. They brought two
trunks and three handbags. They
seemed plentifully supplied with mon?
ey, hotel employes say. and kept to
themselves.
Shortly nfter 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon three revolver shots were
hear?! by Henry Salmi, an employe,
who wa? working in an adjoining room.
He notified the house detective, C. G.
Iiennison, who. with Robert Dunlop, an
assistant manager, opened the door
with a pass key.
The woman'? bodv, dressed in a ki?
mono, lay on the bed. Powder marks
about the wound in the left side of her
i.i ad under the ear showed that Rup?
pert fir?"fl Ihr shot at close rnn?re. Mr?.
Ruppert'? hair was in curlers. She was
evidently crossing when killed.
Veto a "Police Positive."
Lying on the fleer, B tOW feet away,
was the body of Ruppeit. He had shot
himself in the right side of the head
above the ear. The revolver, lying
near by, wa? described by Inspector
Joseph Faurot as a Colt "police posi?
tive."
Three of the t\x chamber? had been
fred. The third ballet was accounted

' B? l'?l> -r, T. e Trlt ??:.'
London, Nov. 11. On three sides the
invaders have pressed closer to th?
Serbs fighting in central Serbia, where
King Peter's forces are still battling
to break the Teuton clutches and to
reach the Montenegrin border.
On the east the Bulgarins have
broken through the Serb position? on
the Morava, ?outh of Nish. In the ad?
vance from the Western Morava,
bounding or. the north the rectangle,
in which the fighting is taking place,
the Germans have made further prog?
ress. And at KraliOVO the Teuton?
have crossed the Western Morava,
opening a passage down the Ibar Val?
ley. If this last advance is successful
the Serbs will be cut off from a re?
treat line on the west.
The pressure which is being exerted
on King Peter'? forces and the diffi?
culty the Serbs are having in evading
the enemy's grapple are indicated in
the Berlin r.-port that 4,000 prisoners
were taken yesterday south of ths
Western Morava, in the rectangle of
battle. In the mountain? along the
river, says Merlin, tho Germans ar?
"making go^d progress."
Serb? Begin Counter- attack.
For the Serbf the only road of es?
cape now is through the MitroviUa re?
gion. This avenue is threatened bv the
Austrian?, moving down from the
northwest through Vi.-hegrad, and bv
the Bulgarians pushing northwest from
Cskuh. To meet this latter move tha
Serbl are pushing south along the
MiTovitza-Cskub railway. They are
???I ... have reached the Katchaaik
defile, twentv miles Bortb of Uekab.
By this eoBBtei offensive by King
Peter's fore, s the Bulgarians who havo
reached Tetovo, twenty m les west ?vf
, are menaced. Both vvintrs of
the Bulgarian forces la Macedonia, it
n laid, are threatened by the Angio*
Preneh advance m th?- south. Thus
C.ar Ferdinand'? army, intent on dea.
mg th?* Serbs a blow from which they
can never recover, may find themselves
in a trap set l.v the enemy.
It i? deflaitely established that Ine
French are not in possession of the
Veles. A daring cavalry raid which
BBparOBtly reached at least the en?
virons of the plaOB was responsible for
the report that the city had been taken.

Further British reiaforeameata have
been sent forward to strengthen the
right wing of the Bat?ate allies' line.
The Serbians are said to have re

an important success. They are making

Commons That War Sec?

London, Nov. 11. ?""harpes af blun?
dering were hurled at the government
in the House of Commons to-night. In
the course of the discussion on the?
suspension of "The Globe" James
Myles Hogge, member for Kast Edin?

signed was true, and that the seizure
of the paper because of the publica?

Premier Asquith, who immediately
replied, said that Mr. Hogge accused
him of "a deliberate and inexcusable
falsehood," and h?> added:
"Earl Kitchener never tendered his
resignation either to th? King or my
1 self the only two person? to whom
hs could have tendered it. Earl Kitch?
ener never breathe?! a word of resigna?
tion to either."

"The blunder in the Dardanelles," he

U.S. SEES GRAVE
ISSUE IF SHELLS
HIT LIFEBOATS
Wanton Attack Not Ex?
cused by Ancona's At?
tempt to Escape.
f'mm Tie Tribune Bur.au 1
Ua-hington, Nov. 11. I'nofficial re?
port? of firing by the submarine on
the Ancona's passengers as they were
entering the lifeboats increased the
anxiety in official quarters her? to?
day. Sn-.te Department officials de- ;
clared that previous efforts of the An?
cona to escape could not excuse a wan?
ton atta<7k on non-combatants and
'hat if the press reports were correct
a grave issue would be raised.
No new details of the tragedy were
received to-day in official dispatches to
the State Department. Secretary Lan?
sing will not comment on the unof?
ficial reports, but will wait until all
, the circumstances of the attack are
prisen'.ed to him before passing an
opinion en this government's duty in
the case. Ambassador Page, at Rome,
and American consuls in Italy and
North Africa have been instructed to
interview ?urvivor?.
The report tha? the attacking sub?
marin? was German, though flying thn :
Austrian flag, is not generally creditea
here. It la pointed out that Germany
l? not at war with Italy, and would
1 therefore hesitate to commit an act of
war against that country. If the report
is substantiated the attack on the An
cona will tend to revive the Lusitania
incident, officials declare. Renewed
.-. lubmarine activity, even if
i this Case, would emphasize
the 7'nct that the agreement with Ger
rr.iisy i? far from complete and would
lead th?1 administration to exact an im
nediate settlement of the issues
It i| felt that while technically an
attack by an Austrian sutimanne would
be i tirst offence, the Austrian gov?
ernment, as an ally of Germany, is
morally bound by the assurances given
, by the German Ambassador, the more
i so as ex-Ambas?ador Dumba was a
party to many of the conversations be?
tween Count von Bernstorr? and Sec?
retary Lansing ar.?i had every oppor?
tunity of knowing the attitude of this
government. If, therefore, the circum?
stances of the attack warrant action
? .' State Department it is held that
. it ennui,' consistently be content with
anything short of an immediate ar.?i
, complete disavowal.
Administration officials are wonder?
ing what use Austria may make in case
of a serious issue of ex-Secretary
Bryan's assurance to Ambassador
Dumba that the President's notes to
Germany were for home consumption
only. That declaration has never been
annulled, so far as can be learned, and
the Austrian government may stand on
it if representations are matle which
refer to the correspondence with Ger?
many.
I'asquale Laurine, an American cit?
izen, is among the missing passenger?
of the Ancona, according to informa?
tion from Naples. So far it has been
impossible to ascertain definitely the
number of Americans lo-t.
A ca'r.le me-?age from Consul White,
at Naplee, lays:
"The Societa Italia now reports that
the following American citizens were
aboard the steamship Ancona: First
cabin, Mrs. CeeiUc L. Greil; steerage,
Alessandro Patattivo, wife and four
children; Mrs. Francesco Masc?lo La
mura and minor child, and Pasquale
Laurine; and that .147 passengers an?l
1 crew were reported as saved out of
49i>. The steamship company is con?
fident that more will be reported ??
saved."

.11? QaSH to Th? Trihun? 1
London, Nov. 11.?The only warn?
ing the Ancona got wai a volley of
deadly shells.
That is tho statement of Captain
Massardo, commander of the Italian
liner sunk by a submarine in the
Mediterranean. The undersea boat
pave the steamer no signal to stop.
The first sign of her presence was
the bombardment. When the lire of
the raider's guns grazed the Ancona
the vessel came to a dead stop, says
the captain.
The lifeboats were then made
ready. But before they coul?! be
launched, Captain Massardo de
.-lares, the submarine oipened tire
again. Many passengers, says tho
captain, were killed or wounded on
the deck and in the boats. Some of
the passengers who were thrown
into the water during the panic that
followed the bombardment swam
toward the U-craft, but the raider'a
crew repelled end deride?! them.
Shells Cause a Panic.
' Stories of other survivors back up
these assertions of the Ancona's com?
mander. Whether there was a long
chase is not yet known. But that
the submarine continued to shell tho
steamer while passengers were being
loaded into the lifeboats is well
established.
The panic that this bombardmeiit
caused is described by the survivors
as pandemonium. Many of the pas?
sengers were women and children,
and under the rain of shells which
poured around the liner order in fill?
ing the boats was impossible.
Losing their heads completely, the
passengers rushed for the boats.
Several of the small craft, over?
whelmed by the rush, were over?
turned before they could be lowered.
Many passengers who had taken
their places were dumped into tha
sea anil drowned. This wild confu?
sion caused the loss of many lives.
Scared Off Krsru* Ship.
One of the officers of the Ancona
says that eight boats filled with sur?
vivors were finally put off. They
steered on a southerly course and after
some time sighted a ship with her
lights out. To attract the attention of
this vessel they lighted flsrei snd tha
ship drew nearer. Then, ?ays this offi?
cer, the submarine turned her se?rch
lights on the vessel, which abruptly
changed her course and vanished In
the distance.
There is increasing evidence that th?
submarine was German, ?nd not Aus?
trian, despite the f?ct that ihe flew
the Austrian colors. A? proof, the es??
of the Italian cargo boat Cyrene i?
cited. When the Cyrene was attacked
by a submarine, the t'-craft wa? flying
a German flag. The Cyrene hoisted
Italian colors and then the ?ubmarin?
changed to the Au?trian flag ?nd
promptly torpedoed her.
Suipect German I -Moat.
The port authoritie? at Naples utftO
learned that last week a submarine
flying the German colors stopped a
boat and asked for information about
the passage of steamer? from Naples.
BsSVeral survivors laslst that, although
the undersea boat which torpedoed th?
Ancona flew the Au-trian flag when she
was first s.ghtcd the flag wa? ?truck
later and replaced by the German
colors.
A Reuter dispatch, which contain?
the fir?t connected ?tory of the ?ink?
ing of the Ancona on Monday after?
noon, twenty hours after she had lefl
Messina, follows:

number of p?.*sengers, intending to
