BERLIN, Nov. 10 (By Wireless {to Bayville.)—“Information from a ITALIAN LINER HIT BY TORPEDO Steamship Ancona, Bound for New York, Sent to the Bottom by Austrian Submarine. DETAILS OF DISASTER MEAGER ROME, Nov. 9.-—(Via Paris.)— The Italian liner Ancona has been sank by a large submarine flying the Austrian colors. It carried 422 pas- sengers and 160 In the crew.

G. Ammons, before | the thirty-fifth annual convention of ! the American Federation of Labor. | Few details have been received here at this hour concerning the sink- fug of the Ancona. News of the loss of the vessel caused the greatest anxiety in Rome. Prince Cassano Zunica was aboard the Ancona, He appeared as the fraternal dele- gate of the British Trades Union congress. Today's sessions, by vote of the con- vention, was devoted to fraternal dele- gates from other nations and other or- ganizations, including representatives of ‘women workers. Conscription, Mr. Ammons sald, was an unnecessary measure in Great Britain, designed to throttle labor in the future, but proposed now In the excitement of war. Americans Lied To. *“American people have been lied to,” he sald, “when told that British work- men were in a debauch of drunkenness and were responsivle for delays in the delivery of munitions. “‘Mistakes were made by diplomats and politiclans and some one had to be blamed. You may fill in the rest for yourself, ““As to conscription, voluntary service has not failed. More men than can be equipped have been found ready and more will be found it necessary. “Conscription s not a matter of men for the present war, but an attempt to fasten a strangle hold on labor after the war. “Labor unionism in Great Britaln has increased the pay of the fighting men in the trenches, and the powers that be had to come to organized labor if the war were to be fought successfully. *““The war accomplished at a gtroke of the pen what labor has been fighting for for decades—nationalization of rallways, of munition factories and the practice of medicine. None of these shall ever go back into private hands. Labor will fight to save them.” Labor to Have Hand, “When peace comes finally,” he sald, “labor will demand a share in the making of the terms.” American laboring men, he suggested, should “hammer out the final peace plan.” ““The laboring people of Europe,” he added, “will demand a seat beside the diplomats and politiclans to sign the peace pact, and they will see that that pact shall be such a one that never again shall laboring people be sundered. “‘British workmen have no quarrel with the workmen of other countries. While temporarily the international union has been sundered, the light of it has not failed, and it will be the stronger with the end of the war.” Samuel Gompers, presidant of the fed- eration, was confined to his room today by a cold. His physiclan said the change n climate affected Mr. Gompers, but that his indisposition was not serious.

Burton of Ohio Gives His Views on the Political Sit- uation of the Country. “The conditions are very favorable for a national republican victory in 1916,” shid ex-United States Senator “heodore E. Burton of Ohio, who is himself regarded as one of the strong pussibilities for the republican nom- ination for president. Going into the signs, which he looks to for indication of a return of sentiment for a republican adminis- tration, the senator pointed to recent elections throighout the east, and in his own state, where national issues viere largely dragged into municipal elections, and where the republican candidates were very largely elected Ly handsome pluralities, “President Wilson should at this time be at the very height oft hig popularity, and is at-the height of his popwiarity,” he said, “and In spite of this we have these republican majorities in the vari- ous elections and even old rock-ribbed democratic Kentucky went democratic, as I understand it, by a remarkably small plurality. Goes In on a Split. “Then, 100, it must be remembered that President Wuson went into office a minority candidate by virtue of the split in the republican party, which is rapidly healing." | Asked If he believed the party would be united for the 1916 election, the sena- {tor said, “I believe it will. There is a disposition everywhere to get together. {1 feel this: that the republican platform of 1916 should be & progressive piat- form, It should be progressive in the matter of the tariff. Iam tired of hear- Ing the two extremes of the tariff fight. There has been a disposition on the part of those who wanted high tariff to demand it higher than was necessary. There has been a disposition on the other side to go to the other extreme. Personally, of course, I am a very strong advocate of a permanent tariff commis- sion. Certainly it Is a matter that should be looked into by a body of experts that would be impartial. | Does Not Affect Price. “Y am more and more of the opini>n that a high or low tariff makes little actual difference anyway in the price of commodities we buy. If the right laws for the handling of monopolies could be arrived at, the tariff would not make so much difference in the matter of prices of necessitie Senator Burton approved of President Wilson's European policy, but disap- proves of his Mexican policy. ““The presi- dent has done in the European situation,” he said, “Just what such a president as Mr. Taft would have done: acted cau- tiously and endeavored to keep out of trouble where possible. The dissatisfac- tion with Wilson will not be so much with his forelgn policy as with his domestic policies.” HOME POLICIES AS THE ISSUE| Fifty or Sixty Killed by Tornado In Kansas Town DENVER, Colo., Nov. 10.—Tornadoes early tonight swept through Great Bend, | Kan., according to reports received here |tonight.

The weather man guessed show- ers and coldef for Nebraska and along came snow and high wind in addition to the variety of weather that was predicted. Yesterday rain was pretty general over a large portion of the state. In| the afternoon a change to colder came and in the southern portion of | the state there was snow. Fairbury | reported the-heaviest fall of snow, but it was not heavy enough to work any inconvenience as it melted about | as rapidly as it fell. During the evening, while in the jmme- diate vicinity of Omaha it was reason- | ably calm, at Bennington, some ten miles | away, and to the west there was a ter-| rific stralght wind, scattering haystacks and outhouses. Other than this no dam- age was reported. At Blalr, Tekamah and some of the towns to the north and west, a high wind during the early evening interrupted tele- graph and telephone service. The wind was of the straight variety and conse- quently did little damage. | Heavy rain was reported and early in| the evening there was a rapid and-decided | drop in the temperature. | During the evening Waterloo reported a torrential rain, sccompanied by a very heavy wind. Whether or not any damage was done could not be ascertained as the wires went down, cutting off communica~ tion.

RAISE IN LUMBER RATES SUSPENDED| Commerce Commission Acts Tariffs on Carload Lots from West to Middle States, HELD UP UNTIL MARCH TENTH WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Tariffs of transcontinental railroads propos- | ing an increase in carload rates on lumber and forest products from Eas- | ton and other points west of Spokane, } in the state of Washington, to delu-} nations In North and South Dakota, | Nebraska and other states, were sus- pended today by the Interstate Com- merce commission until March 10. The Increase ranged from 1 to & cents per 100 pounds. It is understood, however, that the de- cision was due to the fact that increases proposed by the same roads on other com- | modities havé not been acted upon and on the fact that an Investigation is to be | undertaken of live stock rates. Asked Ten Milllonn. .. The_petition was' flled several weeks ago, but final action on it was deferred until all members of the commission were present. The western roads In their original case asked for increases which they sald would mean added revenues of about $10,000,000 a year, but the commission granted such increases only as it cal- culated would add about $1,600,000 per year. In the petition for a rehearing the prin- cipal reason given was that the commis- sion had fafled to consider the need of additional revenue. A recpening and re- | hearing was asked in respect to the rates on live stock, fresh meats, packing house products and grain and grain products. . Rehearing Denled, In Keeping with its order for an in- vestigation of rates on live stock and similar commodities of the same gen- cral character the commission also dented petitions for a rehearing on rates on these products from points in Colorado, South Dakota and other nearby states to Omaha and on the rates on the same products in peddler cars in southwestern Briefs and arguments before the com- mission Indicate that the added revenue through the increases asked on fresh meats, packing house products and live stock would have been about $3,000,000, The investigation now undertaken may result in giving the carriers at least & portion of that sum.

News of the sinking of the Ancona was not made public in London until shortly before noon, when the censer released the first dispatch from New York on the subject.

NEW YORK, Nov, 10.—No word con- cerning the sinking of the Ancona had been received early today by Hartfleld, Solari & Co., local agents for the Italign line, and it was thought in steamship cir- cles that the rigid Itallan censorship had caused numerous private and press dis- patches to be held back.

He sees armies marching against us from every direction, but the president 1s & man of peace and he is in & position to know that no one is threat- ening to attack us. It is surprising, first, that in looking up Bible authority he should ignore the teachings of Christ, and second, that he should select a pas- sage that refers not to preparation against imaginary dangers, but immedi- ate actian to meet an attack actually made. What the world needs today is & pentecost, not an Armageddon.” | 3 The ambassador sald the probable i vietims of the tragedy were Alexan- |der Pattattivo, his wite and four .jch!ldron, of New York, Mrs. Frances |Mascolo Lamura and about twenty unnamed third-class passengers.
