CONFIRMS 500 AT
2 CHURCHES HERE
Bishop McFaul Honored When
He Arrives in This City to
Conduct Services.
Rl. Rev. Bishop McFaul, offici
ated at the confirmation of nearly
500 candidates at two churches In
the city yesterday. He was met by
the Columbus Itilian band and the
Italian Society at Washington and
Johnstone streets, when his automo
bile arrived from Trenton at 10:30
o'clock yesterday morning. He was
escorted to the rectory occupied by
Rev. Colurabino Galassi and thence
to the Church of Our Lady of the
Most Holy Rosary in Barcley street.
The bishop was accompanied by
his private secretary. Father Spil
lane, and after presiding at services
at the Holy Rosary church and at
the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic
Slovak church, of which Rev. Joseph
Szuchy is rector, left the city for
Trenton shortly after 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
He first officiated at the confirma
tion in the Holy Cross church, where
sixty converts were received. Rev.
Joseph Urban, Rev. William P. Cant
well and Rev. Colonibino Galassi as
sisted in the service. After lunch at
the home of Father Galassi, Bishop
McFaul proceeded to the Slovak
church where about 400 were re
ceived into the faith by confirmation.
The confirmation classes were un
usually large and the bishop seemed
pleased with the energetic work
which had been shown on the part of
the priests of the two parishes.
KEAHSBUfiG WILL VOTE
ON BOROUGH QUESTION
Keansburg is all astir over the
election tomorrow on the question of
whether that "burg" shall be "bor
ougliized." There are some 400
voters in the district who are eligible
to express a preference on the sub
ject at the polls. A private canvass
of a large number of the voters has
brought out the fact that probably
a majority will vote against the pro
posed change in the government of
the resort.
The Keansburg Civ.ic Alliance
Club composed largely of Newark
summer residents, it is declared, was
responsible for the passage of the
measure by the last legislature pro
viding for the incorporation of
Keansburg. subject to the referen
dum. The club claims that the re
sort receives but slight consideration
from either Raritan or Middletown
townships, both of which it forms a
part. Charles Carr, one of the larg
est property owners in Keansburg,
objects to the proposed change on
the ground that taxes would be con
siderably raised. There are about
1,700 perennial residents of Keans-1
burg, which population is increased J
in the summer by between six and j
eight thousand.

SAYS OFFICERS AND GREW OF
SUBMARINE GUILTY OF MURDER
(Continued from page 1.) ]
Only 04 American Survivors.
London. May 10— Of 1,153 who met
death In the destruction of the Lusi
tanla, 115 were Americans.
Out of the total of 1.Θ17 passengers
and crew on board the vessel 7<;4
persons, men, women and children,
passengers and crew, ore known to
hare survived, and there are sixty-four
Americans among them. They have re
ported themselves or have been report
ed, and there is Just a bare chance that
more will be found alive.
Of the 7R4 survivors 462 were passen
gers and 302 crew. Forty-seven of this
number are In the hospitals at Queens
town seriously ill, of whom thirty are
pssscujjcrs ϋseventeen nre crcw.
Some of tbem will die.
There are 144 bodies in the morgues
at Queenstown. and of this number
eighty-seven bodies have been Identi
fied. sixty-five from the passenger list
and twenty two from the crew.
There were fourteen additional iden
tifications of the dead at Queenstown,
and among those who were established
as lost were Charles Plamondon of
Chicago. Dr. Orr Jacobus and C. T.
Broderick. The body of Mme, Antoine
de Page, wife of the head of the Bel
gian Red Cross, was also picked out.
She was returning from the United
States, where she had been on a lecture
tour in aid of her country. Mr. Brod
erick was oil his way to Belgium to
work for the American relief commis
sion.
Vanderbilt Body Missing.
No trace has been found of the body
of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt nor of
I.indon Bates. Jr., Justus Miles For
man, the writer, nor of Mr. and Mrs.
Elbert Hnbbard.
A passenger gives some word of the
Hnbbards. They had come on deck
from the saloon after the blow and
then turned to go below, apparently to
get life belts. The ship went down be
fore tbey could possibly return.
It is the belief of many, confirmed by
the reports of admiralty and steamship
experts, that the Lusitanla herself cof
fins hundreds of the dead, and there is
serious discussion whether an effort
shall not be made to blow up the hull
In some way to release these bodies.
She lies forty fathoms below the sur
face, which makes It too far down for
divers to think of working there or to
give any hope to the Cnnard Hue that
she may be lifted. Explosives, however,
can be placed lç her, and this may be
done.
No more bodies are reported washed
ashore or picked up in the neighbor
hood of the disaster nor along the Irish
coast. The Cunard company maintains
a steamer there constantly, and the
coast guards iuspect every foot of the
bays and inlets nearby. Seafaring men
believe that all have been found that
will oe found unless the ship is blown
« rv« rt
Probe by Parliament.
There Is no doubt wlien parliament )
convenes today the government will
be questioned closely about what pre
cautions were taken, If any, by the
admiralty to protect the Lusltanin and
other merchant passenger ships using
the Irish sea, and further what extra
precautions are to be taken hereafter
to prevent a repetition. It seems to
tw foregone In the minds of many that
the German undersea boats will at
tempt to get the Mauretania if she
goes back into the merchant service,
and they may look after ships like the
Cymric, which carry munitions and
supplies. There are suggestions for
the maintaining of an aeroplane patrol
In the danger zone, for by them a sub
marine at a great depth is easily de
tected, and there may be suggestions
that the destroyers convoy all ships
through St. George's channel and the
Irish sea. Tx>rd Charles Beresford is
to lead In these questions, and he will
talk from the viewpoint of a veteran
sailorman.
Sentiment in London Is as it has
been, although the multitudes in the
streets continue to show restraint
There nre efforts of anti-German riots
in Liverpool and various proposals for
demonstrations. but England, express
ing its abhorrence of the deed, finds
that it la powerless to do anything
else until the war ends, while all await
the ultimate action of the United
States. There is no impatience, no
dit-position to preach in any quarter.
The coroner's inquest at Queens town
is set for-May 15, but in the meantime
It is hoped that Captain Turner, the
commander of the torpedoed liner, may
be permitted to make a formal state
ment. It will be for the best, and
very likely this will be obtained by the
admiralty and sent broadcast through
the press bureau. There are so many
points not yet cleared up. It Is uo·
known definitely how many subma
rices there were, whether one wax
seen an hour before, whether there
was an opportunity to turn toward the
shore. The passengers who are the
only ones to talk are not agreed on
how many torpedoes hit the ship. The
number has been placed as high as
liiree, and many say they only heard
one.
There were 188 Americans aboard
when the I.usitanla sailed Of these
it Is almost certain that 115 perished,
among them twenty-live children. Thu

Qucenstown, May 10.—Twenty-three
miles from this port as the crow flies
nil Irregular smear of flotsam ou a calm
sea marks the grave of the swift and
luxurious T.usitanla, the first transat
lantic steamship to be sunk by a Ger
man submarine. Search is being con
tinued for bodies at the scene of the
disaster, but It is not believed that
many more will be recovered.
Tu morgues here are 14!t bodies of
those who perished. Some of these
were [ilcked up hours after the Lust
tanla sank nud others died after reach
Ing Queenstown. The body of Charles
Frohman Is being prepared for ship
ment to the United States.
Lectured In United States.
The body of Mme. Marie Do Page,
wife of Dr. Antoine De Page, medical
director of the Belgian Red Cross, Is
among the Identified dead. Mme. De
Page recently lectured in the United
States on conditions In Belgium and
collected funds for the sufferers of her
country.
The survivors do not agree as to
whether the submarine fired one or
more torpedoes. A few say they saw
the periscope, though many attest to
tracing the wake of foam as a pro
jectlle came toward the vessel. The
only points In which all concur Is that
the torpedo struck the vessel a vita'
blow amidships, causing her to list al
most Immediately to starboard. In tills
careening fashion she plowed forward
some distance, smashing the lifeboat
davits as she did so and making the
launching of boats well nigh Impossi
ble until headway had ceased.
How far the l.usltania struggled for
ward after being struck and how long
It was before she dlsnppeaied beneath
the waves likewise are points upon
which few passengers agree, estimates
of the time she remained afloat rang
Ing from eight to twenty minutes. At
any rale, the list to starboard so ele
vated the lifeboats on the port side as
soon to render them useless, and It Is
said only two on that side were
launched.

MAJESTIC PLAYERS TO OPEN
"THE BLINDNESS OF VIRTUE"
We are beginning to realize that
parents have duties toward their
children other than providing them
with mere creature comforts. The
Blindness of Virtue makes this plea
more effective that it had ever been
made In contemporary literature or
drama. The play is said to teach a
great moral lesson to parents who
are remiss in their duties to their
children by failure to instruct them
In many things they should know
In order to be properly equipped for
their part In life's battle. It is in
tended particularly as a warning
against the danger of permitting
young girls to remain in ignorance
of what may result from their sur
rendev to natural impulses. Cosmo
Hamilton has written into the play a
numt-er of brilliant comedy as well
as dramatic startling situations.
Eugene Murphy, the manager of
the Majestic Players, has chosen this
bill for his Perth Amboy patrons af
ter due consideration. The play,
"The Blindness of Virtue," has never
been seen in Perth Amboy before,
and has only lately been released for
stociv. The scenic and electrical ef
fects used in this play will surpass
anything yet seen at stock prices.
