< octors none lias been more busy than j
Ho""r<I Fish"- of Washington, who
"as rescued after being in the water
three hours.
Dr. Fisher now numbers among his
patients Lady Mackworth of Cardiff,
who Is suffering from the result of be
ing a long time In the water; Lady Al
lan of Montreal, who has a broken col
lar bone, and Dr. Fisher's eister-ln-law,
Miss Dorothy Conner. formerly of
Washington.
Miss Conner was standing beside I-ady
Mackworth when they were flung into
the water as the ship keeled over. Both
women were provided with life belts
and were picked up when at the point
of exhaustion.
Dr. Fisher, who is a brother of Walter
I- Fisher, formerly Secretary of the
interior of the United States. -?as on
his way to Belgium for Red Cross duty.
Describes the Disaster.
His story follows:
It. is not true that those on board
were unconcerned over the possibility
of being torpedoed. I took the big liner
to save time and also because In case
of a floating mine I felt she would have
more chance of staying up But like
everybody else aboard. I felt sure In
case of being torpedoed that we would
have ample time to take to the boats
I do not know what case is being
made out for the Cunard people, but I
cannot say that either discipline or pre
cautions were up to the standard
When T heard the crash I rushed to
the port side. No officer was in sight
An effort was being made to lower the
boats swinging just opposite the grand
entrance. Women, children and men
made a mad scramble about this boat
which was smashed against the side.'
throwing all the occupants Into the
sea.
"Then two big men, one a sailor and
the other a passenger, succeeded in
launching a second boat. Much to my
surprise this amateur effort was suc
cessful. This bont got away and car
ried chiefly women and children ThiB
boat was successfully launched on the
port side.
Keassured by Officer.
"We then saw our first glimpse of an
officer, who came along the deck and
spoke to Lady Alackworth, Miss Conner
and myself, who were standing In a
group: 'Don't worry, the ship will
right Itself. He had hardly moved on
before the ship turned sideways and
then seemed to plunge head foremost
Into the sea.
"I came up after what seemed to be
an Interminable time under water and f
found myself surrounded by swimmers
dead bodies and wreckage. T got on
an upturned yawl, where I found thirty
other people, among them Lady Allan,
whose collarbone was broken while she
was in the water.
"Another passenger on the yawl, a
man, whose name I did not learn, had
his arm hanging by the skin. His in
Jury probably was due to the explosion
which followed. This arm was am
putated successfully with a butcher
knife by a little Italian surgeon aboard
a tramp steamer, which picked me up
"This tramp was flying the Greek
flag, henoe-the report that a Greek
steamer was on the scene. It was mid
night before I arrived at a hotel In
Queenstown. There I found neither dry
clothing nor a bed, but was compelled
to Sleep on the floor of the hotel par
lor."
Blames British Admiralty.
Speaking with considerable bitter
ness. Dr. Fisher concluded:
"I do not see how either the Cunard
company or the admiralty can hold
themselves free from blame for this
tragedy. The authorities allowed a
great ship loaded with valuable cargo
to proceed through known dangerous I
waters without a single torpedo boat
ms a convoy."
Although condemning the handling of
the lifeboats as grossly inefficient. In.
I-isher said he knew he xvas risking his
life ill the war zone and accepted what
had happened to him as a matter of
course.
"We were warned by the German gov
ernment." he said, "and I for one do
nut want an> official action bv mv
country." " '
Miss Connor's Experience.
Miss Conner had the thrilling ex
perience of being rescued after she had
resigned herself to be drowned. She
said:
"T Was standing on the deck beside
my brother-in-law, i>r. Fisher and
Ladv Mackworth When the deck be
came awash I jumped Into the sea
with a lifebelt. ,\ft-r a terrible liuf- !
feting from the wreckage I felt invseif
becoming unconscious.

WATCHED SHIP SINK, IS CLAIM
Minister and Woman Survivor Tell of
Warcraft Crew Stolidly Surveying
Disaster They Created.
DUBLIN May 10.?Mrs. C. M. Hill of
New York, a survivor of the Lusitania.
who has arrived here, said that she and
her brother dived from the steamer
when it sank, both being good swim
mers. They lost each other after the
boat went down, but met later In a
shop in Queenstown.
Soon after the Lupitania sank, Mrs.
Hill added, the submarine came to the
surface, the German flag- was run up
and the vessel remained above water
for about ten minutes.
Minister Saw German Flag.
LONDON, May 10.?The statement
that three torpedoes were fired at the
Lusitania was made to the Fishguard
correspondent of the Daily News on the
authority of the Rev. Mr. Guvier of the
Church of England's Canadian railway
mission, who said the third found its
mark while the last boat was being
lowered.
When the Lusitania sank, Mr. Guvier
said, a submarine rose to the surface
and came to within 300 yards of the
scene. "The crew stood stolidly on the
deck," he said, "and surveyed their
handiwork. I could distinguish the
German flag, but it was impossible to
see the number of the submarine, which
disappeared after a few minutes."
Tells of Torpedo Chase.
Ernest Cowper, a Toronto newspaper
man, asserts emphatically that about
an hour and a quarter before the Lusi
tania was struck a submarine was
sighted.
"I was standing with James H. Rog
ers, on the starboard side," said Mr.
Cowper, "when all at once we observed
the wake of our ship and realized that
something was happening, when the
vessel appeared to swerve. We ran to
the other side and then clearly saw
away on the horizon the conning tower
of a submarine.
"She was evidently bent on heading
us off and sent us right into another
one. I have not the slightest doubt that
a cleverly laid scheme had been plan
ned and that it was successfully carried
out. The torpedoes struck us at right
angles."
CUNARD LINE ASKS CRITICISM
SUSPENDED UNTIL FACTS KNOWN
LIVERPOOL, May ID.?Charles Booth,
chairman of the Cunard Steamship
Company, today gave the following
signed statement to the Associated
Press:
"With reference to reported state
ments by Lusitania passengers, I shall
not attempt to draw any conclusion
until all the facts are known, and I
therefore deprecate criticism, which
can be based only 0:1 assumption.
"In the meanwhile I can only state
that I have complete confidence in
Capt. Turner's judgment."
Average Speed 21 Knot6.
LONDON. May 10.?The Cunard line
has issued the following statement:
"We do not know at what speed the
Lusitania was running at the time of
the disaster, but as a matter of fact,

SUBMARINE COMMANDER'S
WARNING TO SHIP CAPTAINS
Must Stop When Ordered or Be Sunk,
Irrespective of
Life.
LEITH. Scotland, May 10.?Tito Ger
man submarine which sank the Wilson
liner Truro tired twenty or thirty shells
at her during the pursuit, according to
Capt. Howgate, who lias arrived here
with the crew of the steamer.
"The submarine was sighted four
miles distant last Thursday, .end sig
naled the Truro to stop. Capt. How
gate put on a full head of steam, but
the submarine proved the faster boat.
Only one shell took effect. That hi *_?! <?
the steering gear of the Truro and
also her propeller.
Capt. Howgate says he then ap
proached the submarine with the in
tention of ramming her, but that lie
was unable to manage his ship. After
the steamer's crew were in the ship's
boats the Truro was sunk by the shell
fire of tlie submarine. When the vessei
sank the captain of the submarine is
quoted by C Howgate as having
yelled: "
"Another German victory! Tell your
English friends the next time they
don't stop when ordered 1 will sink
them, irrespective of life."
HIS THOUGHT FOR LIVING;
COULD NOT AID THE DEAD
LONDON. May 10.?The captain of a
trawler who arrived in a harbor soon
after the Lusitania disaster with 146
survivors, mostly women and children,
when reproached for not staying long
er on the chance of picking up more
survivors said:
"There were many left in the water,
but they were all dead, and many so
horribly mangled I thought it better
to bring ashore my boatload of suffer
ing women, as they could not have
stood much more."
These women presented a pitiful
sight as they wandered aimlessly about
searching without hope for loved ones
who must have gone down with the
ship.

Only Small Cartridges Aboard.
N"EW YORK. May 10.?That the
Lusitanla carried no guns, mounted or

Mr. Winter admitted that the ship had !
ia consignment of cartridges, but in-I
jsisted that they were for small arms!
and did not come under the classlfica- i

"The I'nlted States authorities," he {
said, "would not permit us to carry

NO TIME TO CRY "WAR,"
IS MR. COOPER'S VIEW
Veteran Wisconsin House Member
Counsels Calm Consideration
of Facts.
"This is no time for impulsive attempts
to make the United States a party to the |
war," says Representative Henry Allen
Cooper of Wisconsin, ranking republican
member of the House foreign affairs com
mittee, in a telegraphed statement to The
Star. Mr. Cooper is one of the two
senior members of the House in point of
j service. In answer to a request for his
views. Representative Cooper said:
'I have not sufiicient knowledge of the
facts concerning the sinking of the Lusi
tania to discuss its international aspects.
I Complete information should precede dis
j cussion and final Judgment. As yet we
j know only that the vessel, flying the flag
j of a belligerent, was carrying munitions
of war to that belligerent; that among
! its passengers were American citizens, and
| that it was sunk within the limits of the
I zone of war.
"The loss of the lives of American citi
zens under such circumstances was an
appalling tragedy, and Alls us with pity,
but this is no time for threats of
\ engeance. What is needed is that the
facts be promptly ascertained and given
calm, dispassionate consideration. This
is no time for impulsive attempts to make
ilie United States a party to the war."

Kathleen Kaye. Fourteen Years Old,
Ably Aids In Saving Panic
Stricken Passengers.
QUEENSTOWN, May 10.?The brief
time elapsing: between the torpedoing
and sinking of the Lusitania was long
enough to develop a heroine In the per
son of Miss Kathleen Kaye, fourteen
years old, returning from New York,
where she had been visiting relatives.
With smiling words and reassurance,
she aided stewards in filling a boat
with women and children.
When all were In she climbed aboard
the lifeboat as coolly as an able sea
man. One sailor fainted at his oar, as
the result of a hard race to escape
swamping. The girl took his place
and rowed until the boat was out of
dlnber. None among the survivors
bears as little sign of her terrible ex
periences as Miss Kaye, who spends
most of her time comforting and as
sisting her sisters in misfortune.
