STONE HOMES OF GERMANS N PONCE. | i | | | Porto Ricans Angry at Sinking o Garolina by U-Boat gan Juan, P. R.. June 6 (Delayed) —_Angered by the news of the sinking offthe Porto Rico liner Carolina by a Gértfian submarine, an anti-German demonstratjon broke out in Ponce last night. Numerous houses occupied by Ger- mans were stoned and much feeling exists against Germans or persons who have expressed pro-German senti- | ments or who in any way have at-! tempted to justify the sinking of the Carolina. The feeling runs particu- larly high against Spaniards of sup posed German sympathies. Aftorney | General Kern has notified the offizials | in the isiand to take enenzetic action | against all persons whose utterance are considered out of line with the sentiments of the Allied countries United Statex District Attorne: Martin today issned the following statement to the people of the islana “Be calm and quiet and determinéd | to win the war, The harming of Germans in Porto Rico will hurt us. Killing them in Europe will hurt them. Tho most effective way to avenge the sinking of the Carolina is to subscribe liberally to the Red Cross, which takes care of the fam- ilies of our soldiers who put their lives at hazard.” That there had been loss of 1life on the Carolina did not become known here until noon today. This evening the names of those who perished are still not available, Carolinan Had a $500,000 Cargo. New York, June 7.—Officials of the New York and Porto Rico Line were in communication with the offices in San Juan, Porto Rico yesterday in the endeavor to check all lists and find exactly what had been the loss of life on the steamship Carolina, sunk on Sunday night by a German raider. There were discrepancies in the lists. According to the latest in- formation eight passengers and four of the erew are unaccounted for. There |s much uncertainty on the part of officials of the steamship com- pany as to the exact number of the crew. According to officials of the the record now stands: Passengers landed from the Doug- 182: at Atlantic City, 18; at Lewes, Del, Ten; missing, eight; total, 218, Crew: line From the Douslass 94; at Lewes, Del, 9; at Atlantic City, §; missing, 4: total, 115, The missing members of the crew are G . W, Mus :nden, purser; C. Johansen, fi tant engineer: Miss Bthel McHar ney, stewardness and A. Cadero, waiter. When the U-boat sank the Carolina it sent to the bottom a cargo valued at $500,000, The chief losers will be Porto Rican merchants. The Caro- lina had on board when she left San Juan, according, to the dispatches that announced her sailing, 9,000 bags of sugar, 170 cases of general mer- chandise 220 Toxes of oranges, 3,500 boxes of grape fruit, 19,000 crates of pineapples and 1,250 bags of cocoa- nuts. TUneasiness over the steamship Brazos which sailed for San Juan with 200 pasengers, was allaved late vesterday afternoon when a cable dis- patch announced her safe arrival at her destination. a PLEASING MUSICAL.

Mandan, N. D., June pasting of Chief John Grass, Sioux tribe of Indians, of the who recentl died at Fort Yates, the headquarters | of the Standing Rock agency, his mantle falls upon the the only white man ever adopted into the tribe. of Mandan, adopted son of the old chieftain, becomes, according to an- clent customs of the Sioux, the chief of the tribe. The new Sioux chief, whose Indian name is Mato-Watakpe, is with TUnited States Infantry in France and is the ailde of Major General Hunter Liggett. A grandson of John Grass, Grass, is serving with the same divi- sien. Although there were formerly four chieftains of the Sioux. only one line remains, and, the old chief's sons all being dead, Captain Welch, by rea- son of being an adopted son takes precedence over a grandson the direct line. The name Mato-Watakpe &eoux war name of the old chief and means “Charging Bear.” When was adopted Captain Welch chose this name as the one by which he would he known among the Indians. Although the chief of today nc* the same powers of the chief of years gone by, the title still glves him the respect of the Indians and they recegnize him as their leader. A chief still represents his tribe in all the disputes or conferences with the government. Captain Welch for many years has been a student of the Indian customs and formed many friendships with members of the Sioux tribe. In 1013, because of a mutual regard that had grown up between the cap- tain and the chief, John Grass, the latter asked the captain if he would be willing to be adopted as his son. The captain consented and, conform- ing to the ancient ceremonies of the Sioux, was taken into the tribe by a scrvice held at Fort Yates, the old trading center. The service began at dawn and lasted until sundown. The body of the old chlef has been laic in the cemetery at Fort Yates and the Sioux now in is the of | 7.—With the | shoulders of | Thus Captain A.

Hartford, June 7 turs ent Complete re- s of the registration of Connect- men of 21 vears of age were re- vesterday afternoon at the governor's office at the State Capitol ! ana showed that 9,833 young men had Registration Day. The returns were tabulated for the govern- or's office by the Connecticut State Council of Defense. The grand total falls short of the national government's advisory mate of a registration of ten per cent. of the number registered under Atrmy Draft Act in June, 1917. Fol- lowing the federal estimate as a guide, Connecticut's registration would have heen between 16,000 and 17,000, the large number of men of 21 years of age who voluntarily enlisted the past year was credited with being responsible for the reduced registra- tion total. Reflecting the patriotic spirit of the manhood of the state, Major Jahn Buckley, who is in charge of the se- lective service machinery in this state, reported Wednesday tion boards were being with requests hy new registrants for enlistment certificates so that they might enter national service imme- diately without waiting for the draft. The ma these requests cannot be granted be- cause the new registrants have not been provided with serial numbers and until these are assigned their regis- tration is incomplete. Connecticut's registrants, as classi- fled (*) under the three registration groups are: Group A.—Whites and clarants from countries the United States Group B.—Negro negro de- clarants from countries with which the United States is not at war, 253.

New York, June 7.—How it started, nobody knows, but from o'clock vesterday morning until late in the night a rumor persisted about New York that the German crown prince and a vast body of his troops had bheen captur on the Marne battlefront. Sometimes the rumor had it that a trifling matter of 20,000 Germans had been captured: other estimates ran as high as 200,000 The telephone company said it was almost swamped during the morning by calls for the various newspapers. Some of the queries came from Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey. Haverstraw report first, as calls from began early {n the morning Tho report was blamed on Wall street at first, but this was unjust, for the financial district didn't get the varn until midmorning and then dldn’t believe it. The tale had na effect on the market, anyhow. Of course, there wasn't anything to the rumor. At least, the newspapers heard nothing about it from their correspondents, who are not far away from the crown prince and his outfit As some of the blithe telephone oper- ators put it: “The storv is interesting but a trifie premature.” . that town Tlundreds of people in New Britain and vicinity heard last evening that the crown prince had been taken prisoner with a large force of Ger- man troops.
