Mr. Frost has a joint affidavit
from the Americans who reached
Crook Haven and similar documents
from American survivors at Bear-
haven. The affidavits agree that the
Manlna was torpedoed without warn-
ing, that the first torpedo struck the
starboard side, that the second hit
the vessel twelvo minutes later and
was followed by a boiler explosion.
The steamer sunk ten minutes later.
No Americans were lost in the boiler
explosion. Those who were lost ware
drowned as the life boats were being
lowered. A submarine was plainly
seen to emerge after the second tor-
pedo was fired, but did not communi-
cate with the steamship or offer as-
sistance to the small boats which
were in deadly Iwtl from the rough

States any information the imperial
government may have concerning the
sinking by submarines of the British
steamers Marina and Rowanmore.
The request was forwarded, it be-

American embassy at Herlin.
It is understood the state depart-
ment took this step without waiting
tor full reports from British sources
and survivors of the ships because it
was considered desirable to assem-
ble at the earliest possible moment
complete information, particularly
regarding the Marina, on which sev-
eral American horse tenders appar-
ently lost their lives. The request is
informal and is tended in no sense

Shawnee is today in the throes of j
a full-fledged street car strike. None
or the car men reported for duty this '
morning, uitf all cars, Including i
ihose of the interurban service, re-
pose cool and collected in the true- !
Hon company's barns.
The finai word calling the strike 1
was given Tuesday night, following I
the failure of Manager l). H. Weddv !
of the traction company to "make any i
response ti) an ultimatum of the men
demanding arbitration of their dii- j
ferences.
"This strike,'* said Edgar Fenton, I
president of the state federation of \
labor who has been advising with j
the men for several days, "has the \
It*ti 11 Indorsement of the general exe- .
cutivo hoard of the street railway
men's union. We feel that wo have I
j done our full part toward reaching I
an amicable agreement. Our over-
tures to arbitrate having been ig-
nored, there was nothing left for us
to do but to strike for the enforce-
ment of our demands. Our men still
stand ready to arbitrate either the
whole contract we have submitted to
the traction company, or to sign up
for all terms of the contract except
the clause requiring two men to op-
erate cars anil arbitrate that clause
:epa rately."
W. G. Ashton, state commission of
labor, arrived In the city at 11 this
morning ami is having conferences
wiih both sides in tin? hope of so-
curing an adjustment of the trouble.
Manager Weddle seems to be in no
wise disturbed by the situation. The
company, he Insists, has lost some
$85,000 during the last five years
anyhow, in the operation of the sjs-
tem, so that idle cars can't hurt, the
company. How much of such loss is
attributed to estimated depreciation,
loss of interest, etc., ia not,.stated.
Early this morning sympathizers of
the men appeared on the streets pin-
ning on the lapels of passers-by
badges lettered "WK WALK," and
ere long a number of autos were put
into service as jitneys, making all
portions of the city covered by tiie
street car lines. Also taxies are
making regular trips to and from
Tecumseh, thriving by the patronage
ordinarily going to the interurban.
The traction company is using an
auto to carry the mails to and from
Tecumseh, in fulfillment of its con-
tract with the government.
At the cooking school this morn-
ing Mrs. Wilcock did the seemingly
impossible,-prepared a dinner for
six people, from soup to dessert, for
only thirty-five cents!
It had been advertised that the din-
ner would cost 40c, but the steak
co: ! a nickle less than had been fig-
ured on, which brought the total cost
down to 35c.
It was no snide dinner, either.
There was marrow ball soup, rice,
Saldbury steak, Crouton pudding with
raisin sauce, and it was not only
good, but plenty of it. And all for
the price of a single course in an
ordinary dinner for four people!
This morning's session was very
Interesting Indeed, and was thorough-
ly enjoyed by the ladies.
Remember,. Thursday's session
will be held in the afternoon, begin-
ning at 2:30 o'clock, following a half
hour Vlctrola concert.

HELPLESS CONDITION AFTKK
A FALL.
W. S. Higgins, the blacksmith, is
recovering from a most unusual and
painful experience.
Last Sunday morning Mr. Higgins
went out southwest of the city to pick
wild grapes. It was about 9 o'clock
in the morning when he drovo out.
About ,5:30 o'clock in the evening he
came dragging himself along to the
home of 11. C. Shaw, 5 miles south-
west of the city, in a deplorable con-
dition. He was covered with blood
from scratches, his wrist was frac-
tured and his clothes torn, and he
was in u semi-conscious condition.
Such was his appearance that Mr.
Shaw, though an old friend, did not
recognize him. Help was summoned,
and a car was sent out from Shawnee
to bring him back to the city.
Mr. Higgins was unable to tell
what had happened to him, but when
questioned at the time he reached
Shaw's house mumbled that he had

ments.
A short session of the Chamber of
Commerce was held at 0 this morn-
ing to deviae plans and arrange-
ments. Several scores of citizens
were present, all enthusiastic in the
movement. John Brandenburg and
Rock Island Engineer W. M. Whit-3.
leading citizens of Asher, were in at-
tendance, and each gave additional
assurance of South Pott people's
unanimous interest in the project to
build the South Canadian bridge,
thereby vastly enhancing the value of
the state highway now building j
southward to the river below Asher.
Mr. Brandenburg explained how many |
months ago the people of the Asher
country, when god road building was
being first agitated, subscribed to a
road-construction fund of $1,200—tills
when time* were hard, when crops
were baa. "Now, said he, "when they
are blessed with abundant crops and
record-breaking prices they are cor-
respondingly more enthusiastic over
highway Improvement.''
Mr. White was confident that not
less than lot), and probaibly more,
South Pott citizens would come on
the special train from Asher, arriv-
ing at Shawnee at 7:30 and return-
ing at 11. A score or more from Wa-
nette, he said, would be in the party.
Arrangements have been made at
the banquet for a minimum of 300,
gome lr>0 Shawnee citizens having
1 nified their intention of attending.
Of course all entertainment of the
visitors will he free. Local people
who do not attend the banquet will
be welcome to seats in the gallery,
where they can he interested specta-
tors at the proceedings.
It is announced that the big South
Pott delegation will arrive wearing
booster badges which read: "Let's
Put the Bridge Across." These
badges, ordered from Asher, caught
the eye of Shawnee boosters, and the
Blogan is already much in evidence
on the streets. On the Asher train
will be a number of residents of
Pontotoc county living across th
river south of Asher.
The delegation from Ada, which is
j to arrive on the Katy, will not be so
