EMPEROR ACCUSED
OF WILFUL MURDER
Kinsale, Ireland. May 10, 3 : .17
p. m. The coroner's jury, which
has been investigating the deaths
attendant upon the loss of the
Lusitania, returned the following
verdict to-day r
. "The jury finds this appalling
1-rtone contrary to international
law and the conventions of all
civilized nations, and we, there
fore, charge the officers of the
submarine and the German em
peror and the government of Ger
many, under whose orders they
acted, with the crime of wilful and
wholesale murder.
Qucenstown, via London. May 10.
The affidavits made by Miss Jessie Taft
Smith of Praeeville, O., T)r. Howard T,

permanent records of the Lusitania dis-

reflects seriously upon the behavior of
the I.UMtamas crew, except what somu
witnesses consider the lifeboat fiasco.
Beginning at noon yesterday, at Con
sol Frost's orders, the bodies, of the
identified Americans, covered with the
Mars and Stripes, were removed from the
scattere ilinorgues and placed side bv
side in the Cunard line office on the
water front. As the bodies were car
ried through the streets, British sailors
and crowds stood with uncovered heads.
Cheap brown coffins contained the, re
mains of Charles Frohman and others of
pioniinence. A company of British sol
diers has completed digging three bugs
praxes, esch 30 by 20 feet, in which the
10 unidentified dead will be buried.
The moving of the bodies up the bill
to the cemetery was stsrted at fl:.1fl this
morning and continued to 1:30. Thirty
mounted police and civilians participated
in the funeral parade and clergymen of
all creeds joined In eaying prayers.
Many of the bodies of children and lit
tle habiia still lie in the morgues, cor.
rred with flowers by townspeople, and
probably the little one will be. placed in
a grave together. The presence of so
many children on the Lusitania was
due to the fact that many Canadian
women were going to England to stay
v it h relatives while their husband were
at the front.
Consul Frost lias been indefatigable
in misting the AmTNun survivors and
attending to their wants. He baa sup
plied many of tliem with money to
loach ticir destination. All the iden
tified American dead bave been claimed
by tbe i-onsiil. e-en in cases where lo
toqiiet from relatives bare been re-iiivi-d.
Tbe bodies are being embalmed
rapidly as the woik can be done.

Ijondon, May . 10. Thomas Slidell, ,-tf
New York, who was. interviewed in Lon
don to-day, said he saw Alfred 0. Van
dcrbilt on tin; deck of the LiiMituniii
just before the vessel was going down
Mr. Yaiidcrbilt, who could not swim, was
equipped with a life belt, hut he gal
lantly took it off, Mr. Slidell said, am
placed it around a young woman. Then
lia went on to seek another life, belt
The ship sank a few seconds later.
Mr. Slidell said that he and Herbert
Stone, of New York, were sitting in the
smoking room by themselves when the
hrst torpedo struck the ship. Roth men
intuitively knew what had happened, and
both simultaneously uttered the word
Torpedo!" Together" they left the room
and went on deck which already hud
acutely tilted. -
Mr. Stone made for the upper side of
the deck, while Mr. Slidell moved down
ward. This was the last that "Mr. Sli
dell saw of Mr. Stone. Subsequently he
asked a number of survivors, but could
not find anyone who has seen Mr. Stone
thereafter.
BELIEVE LUSITANIA
LURED INTO TRAP
One Submarine ' Sighted is Thought to
Have Turned the Great Ship To
ward Others That Were
Lying in Wait.
London, May 10. "The only problem
now is to identity the nameless dead.
lord Mersey is to conduct an inquiry
into the sinking of the vessel and, until
that begins, official opinion as to how
the Lusitania came to be caught and
why so many lives were lost, will re
main a secret. I lie general opinion is
that several German submarines were
assigned to tbe task of attacking the
CunaiJ liner and that they manu'iivered
her into a position where she could not
esca pe.
Passengers savs that for some time
before the first torpedo was Hied the
Lusitania had altered her course and
they ascribe this to the fact that one
of the German submarines had shown
herself, sending the big liner in the direc
tion where other under-water craft were
waiting to strike, with their deadly tor-
ix-docs.
Ihcse submarines, naval experts he
lieve, of the latest tvpe, of probably
,400 tons and much more powerful than
any possessed by other navies.
Beyond anger at the Germans, the
catastrophe has had no effect on the
British people. Steamers are arriving
and departing as usual and even the
steamers to Ireland are being freclv
patronized.

CONTRADICTORY CLAIMS
ON BATTLE RESULTS
The situation in Flanders and
in the Carpathians, where the
critical battles of the present
phase of the war are being fought,
is still obscure. On the western
front, both Hermans and their op
ponents claim considerable gains,
In the Carpathians, a similar sit
uation exists, for though the Rus
sians admit reverses at the hands
of the -Austrian and fiermans,
they concede no such serious dn
feats as are indicated by state
ments from Berlin and Vienna,
and assert that the Teutonic allies .
are now being checked.
The Italian government is now
expected to reach shortly its de
cision for or against war. In this
connection, Rome regards as of
significance the visit to the capital
of Signor Giolitti, former premier
and member of the neutralist
group. It is reported sis Rome
that if Italy decides to enter the
war, she will do so by declaring
war on Turkey.
An aerial raid, within 40 miles
of London, was made this morn
ing and reports differ as to wheth
er there was any loss of life.
Southend, Westcliffe - on - the -Sea
and I-eigh appear to have
been attacked.

Cotton Exchange.
Liverpool. May TO. The board of di
rectors of tlie Cotton association passed
resolution to-day setting forth that
110 naturalized wermans or Austrians
shall henceforth be- permitted to enter
the cotton exchange.
The torpedoing of the Lusitania has
aroused ill-feeling aganst the Orrnann
here to fever heat, and a number of!
shops owned by Germans were wrecked
yesterday.
w niiiows were oroken and the con
tents of the shops were scattered about
the streets.
Fifty policemen were called out 'and
made 1) arrests, but the rioters were so
iolent in their efforts to rescue com
rades that the police were forced to use
clubs to quell the disturbance.
j he attacks upon German shops were
renewed hint night, most of the rioters
lieing women, insnv of them relatives
of the sailors of the Cunard line. Sev
eral more shops were wrecked and the
ontents piled in the streets and burn
ed.
A large number of arrests were made.
So' many police have joined the army
that the Liverpool force was hardly able
to cope with the outbreak. ' '

Syracuse, . V., May in.--William
Haines and his lawyers discussed Satur
day night the advisability of calling c
I'resident Taft, Klihu Root, Senator
dames V, Wadsworth, and others who
hae btH-n in national politics, for the
puiMie of refuting t'ol. Roosevelt's
charge that Mr. Harnca was a boss of an
ubjei'tionahle type,
'I hey did not reach a definite conclu
sion. .Mr. Karnes is adverse to dragging
Mr. Taft, Mr. Root, Senator Wadsworth

not want to do anything which might

In that contingency, Mr. Taft would

Newbury, May 10. Two children of
Mr. and , Mrs, Ray Tewksbury were
burned to death yesterday when the
buildings on the farm of their grand
father, Henry W Tewksbury, at West
Newbury were destroyed bv fire. The
bodies of the ,'ittle ones, a boy aged
four years and a girl aged six yean,
were found in the rums of the barn aft
er the fire had subsided. The financial
loss is about ?3.000, the house and large
barn being destroyed, together with most
of their contents. All the stock was
saved except a few hogs. Most of the
cattle and horses had been turned out
to pasture that morning.
The fire broke out at about 10:30
o'clock, 10 minutes after the children
had been playing in the yard with their
father. The elder Mr. Tewksbury and
wife were away, attending church, and
Rav Tewksbury and wife remained at
home, the latter caring for a young
child, now the only one left to them.
It is supposed that the two elder chil
dren of the family; securing some
matches, went to the barn to play with
them, setting the hay on fire and at
the same time their own clothing. The
body of one wag found near the side of
the barn as if the child had tried to flee
from the building, while the body of the
other was near where the reaper was
located, in another building, the child
having apparently sought refuge back
of the machine.
The parents of the children could do
nothing to put out the fire, and at first
they did not know that the children
were in the burning building, although
they were not in sight at the
time of the discovery of the fire. The
flames soon spread to the houe, and
that building was soon doomed, together
with its contents. The buildings were
good structures. The farm is owned bv
the elder Tewksbury and was formerly
known as the John Smith place, H h
located near Tucker mountain.

BASELESS RUMOR EXPLODED.
Like Wildfire Spread the Rumor That
President Wilson Had Been Shot.
Starting from some rumor, s report
that President W'iNon had been shot
spread like wildfire throughout Barre
late yesterday and the alarm thus occa
sioned had not completely subsided early
this afternoon, as requests for informa
tion i-ontinucd t lie received. The at
tempt at explanation of the wild story
might lead to the press report that an
efiurt bad been made to kill Koipie Gon
rales Garra. the innvention pioxiainnal

from Washington, lb t .. and tiarra is
not Wilson, and so the inception of the
canard is not clear.

story, however it may bave started,
grew in the repetition until it liecsme
a definite fact aa it flew from month to
mouth. Ilcgmnine early lat eening

bardment of reoueata for information
was resumed. As assurance of the aafe-
