SEES TORCHLIGHT PARADE a 5 ) & Terre, Haute, Ind., Nov. 1.—Charles E. Hughes wound up his campaign in Ihc middle west with a speech here sonight and left shortly afterward for §epoints in Ney York, the lagt state in which he will appear before elec- tion. Mr. Hughes made five speeches to- day in whic hhe outlined policies he intends to follow if elected, assailed the administration for the enactment of the Underwood tariff and Adam- son law, and expressed the belief that he would win. He spoke tonight be- | fore an audience ‘after reviewing a ) torchlight parade. Just before his de- arture. the nominee issued the fol- owing statement: “I am leaving Indiana after what is perhaps y-xe post wonderful recep- tion ever given a candidate for the presidency. This splendid tribute was not ‘to me personally, but as the representative of the great united re- A pubilcan party - movi forward to victory and service for the nation. The men of Indiana have organized a people’s victory and I want to thank the leaders of the reunited re- publican party for their . effective work."” Discusses the Tariff. Mr. Hughes on his arrival in the ’ middle west devoted much of his speeches to the tariff. He addressed two andiences at Linton and Brazil, composed largely of employes of the coal mining companies. “We had soup houses and bread ) lines twenty months ago,” He told his audience at Linton, “and we will have them again if we do not pro- i tect American industry and if we at- tempt to carry on the business of this country on the policy indicated in the Underwood bill.” “When the war orders end”He said at Brazil, “under our present policy as embodied in the Underwood bill passed by our ‘opponets, you can see yourself going back to work for one, or two or three days a' week That is; what it rheansto you” In his speech- here ‘tonmight Mr. ! Hughes duscussed the Adatmson bill at length. Uncertainty .of Adamsén Law. “I am informed that the general chairman has addressed the local chairman of the Brotherhood of Lo- 4 comotive” Firemen and Engineers of | the Pennsylvania lines east that the \Adamson bill in, establishing a new ‘basis for reckoning wages, will { eliminate the payment of all arbi- itraies which~are based upon time made within the first eight-hour period of service. “The uncertainty of the law is rec- ognized in various particulars. What it will be decided to mean no one can tell, as it is possible to construe it in several different ways. The chairman also adds ‘this law does not change the application of the hqurs of service law. The company still' has the right to work you six- 3 . teen hours within any twr\nty-four | consecutive hours if they so®desire.” “I note that the chief of one of the locals of the brotherhood ascertained the effectvof the law on those who complete their runs in less than eight hours. He says that if a man makes a 100-mile run in five hours, instead of getting his full day’s pay, he will get only five-eighths of a day’s pay, when paid on the eight-hour basis.

The presiaent's protest was greeted by prolonged applause. He said He would not consent that the democratic party be used for any such purpose. The president criticised men who “in the midst of the most critical re- lationships, the details of which they do not know, make play with the lqgs of lives of American citizens in ord that they may create a domestic politi- cal advantage.” The president was warmly ap- plauded when he entered the Ellicott club for luncheon. With the excep- tion of a woman's committee enter- taining Mrs. Wilson, only men were present. More Light Needed. When the president was introduced, the guests stood and cheéred. He declared that “what we need is light more than heat in this campaign.” He added: “Within a week we can begin to talk sense again.” “It is e)gceedingly important that this nation discuss its affairs in a nonpartisan manner,” he continued. “There was never a time when our domestic affairs touched more closely international affairs. “America has given promise to the world that it will not look on affairs with passionc There is passon enough in the world. “The United States in all its indus- trial relations has swung out into the broad stream of the world. hether we would have chosen it or not, the whole face of dur affairs will be trans- formed in the next generation. “No man can make predictions now. “When we know the facts we must in all sober seriousness adjust our- selves to them.” Delay in Tariff Board. Discussing the tariff, the president declared he had not nominated the % | members of the tariff commission be- cause he did not want to wait too long to see whether the senate would confirm them. He continued: “I want you to notice that the field of political thought is widening about us. You perceive that the field ‘has indefinitely widened.

Courts of law are sometimes not courts of jus- tice. “The only way to prevent social revolution is to be beforehand by pro- viding for social justice.” Saying that he did not mean to speak of politics, the president men- tioned the program of, the progres- sive party.

TWO AMERIOANS ABOARD London, Oct 31.—(Delayed.)—The British steamer Rowanmore from Baltimore for |Liverpqol, sunk last week by a submarine, attempted to escape from the attacking undersea boat, but the latter continued to shell shipmafter it stopped, according to affidayits from| members of the crew, procured by the' American con- sul at Liverpool.. The principal de- tails of the sinking.extracted from a number of affidavits are as follows: On October- 26, at 8:45 a. m., the steamer was 130 miles from Fastnet, When shells began to burst about it. A moment later the lookout saw the submarine’s _helm put hard aport, bringing the attacking craft directly (astern. Early in the chase two shells | struck the bridge. .The pursuit continued until 9:30 o'clock, five or six shells in the mean- time striking the steamer. The cap- tain of the Rowanmore stopped his engines and hoisted signals that he intended to abandon the ship, but the submarine continued to shell it as the boats were being lowered, and when they were in the water the occupants were drenched by spray from falling shells, = _ The submarine then headed for the life boats, while one of its officers shouted “get out of our way or we'll run you down,” but swerved when near the boats, passed them and then turtm:d back, the commander calling out: “I am sorry for you, but you are very foolish. You will probably all drown.” The captain of the Rowanmore was ordered on board the submarine, but declined to obey, although the com- mand was thrice given, until a re- volver was pointed at his head. After the captain had been taken on board, the submarine fired a torpedo- at the Rowanmore, which sank. The sub- marine then submerged and was not seen again: About three hours later the crew was picked up, Two , white Americans were on board. ' They ‘were George Murphy of Brooklyn and Albert Sessler of Boston. Fivg Filipinos on board gave Liverpool ad¥resses. The affidavits of Murphy and Sess- ler agree in stating that they saw no shells fired at the life boats after they were clear of the ship. The attack occurred at a time when the sea was rough. In the documentary evidence the belief finds expression that the shelling of lh? ship after it had stopped was due to'resentment at the failure to abandon it, Endeavorers of Nebraska Here For Convention A large number of members of the Christian Endeavor reached Omaha last night and still more will arrive this morning.

Lincoln, No. 1.—(Special.)—Matt | Miller of David City, long prominent in democratic councils and one, of the leading attorneys of the state, who ;'\vas a delegate to the Baltimore con- | vention four years ago and supported Wilson for the president, is out with a letter denouncing the president for | his Mexican policy and also opposing | Hitchcock and Neville, who, accord- ing to Mr. Miller, “have united with ich have no place in demo- S W | to subserve their interests and bring about their desires.” Charles Graff, one of the best | known democrats of the state, a mem- bey of two sessions of the legislature, president of the Red Polled Record association, and of the Improved Live Stock Breeders' association, also calls. the senator for his disloyalty to the president and asks him on his record of the past if democrats can expect anything better in the future. Calls Bryan Leader. Addressing himself to the progres- sive democratic rank and file voters of Nebraska, Mr. Miller says: “The democratic party since 1896 has been progressive in all its doc- trines heretofore enunciated. The democracy of Nebraska, through its illustrious citizen, W. J. Bryan, has been the leader of thought along such lines in both state and nation, and to him must be given the credit of hav- ing aroused the party from its slum- ber, in which condition it existed from the time of the civil war up to the time when he became its standard bearer in 1896, from which time it has had a standing as the true representa- tive of all the people. His advocacy of true democratic doctrines, support- ed by moral principles, reduced repub- lican majorities in Nebraska to an ex- tent which brought about his election of some of the democratic congress- men from this state, including W, V., Allen, United States senator, and in time the election of most of the state officials, something unprecedented in this politfcal period. He was also the means of giving to Gilbert M. Hitch- cock the position of United States senator, which position he has held for six years and to which he is at this time seeking re-election at the hands of the party that has dealt with him so generously. Outside Alliance. “The last two years, however, have clearly demonstrated, in conventions and many other ways, that Mr. Hitch- cock has united with forces which have no plaee in democratic circles, and who ostensibly, claim to take no part in political matters, but who, sub rosa, are using the democratic party of this state to subserve their inter- ests and to bring about their desires. And he is so strongly urgiog their de- mands, for fear of failure, that not- withstanding their great desire for secrecy, it appears on the surface so/ thoroughly that the most unsophisti- cated voter easily detects it, “That he has allied himself with the brewers, distillers and: liquor dealers is clearly traceable from the position taken by his paper on that question. “I have been in favor of keeping the liquor question out of the democratic platform, and whenever any action was taken or sought to be taken in any convention which I attended, vot- ed to keep it out of party politics, as I did not believe in attempting to weigh a moral question in a political scale; but observation has clearly demonstrated that no matter how thoroughly kept out of the platform of the party, sub rosa, it has kept on each year getting the democratic party in (Continued on Page Fifteen, Column Five.) Doiahedonibed s, it Bryan “White Book” | Throws Light Upon Postscript Dispute Lincoln, Neb, Nov. 1.—A small personal “white book” circulated by W. J. Bryan shortly following his resignation from President Wilson's cabinet, contains passages which throw some light on the issue raised by Senator Lodge on the notes tb Germany, concerning the Lusitania sinking. + The Bryan circular deals particularly with the second note to Germany, and says a clause was in- serted in it following his resignation. The Bryan circular quotes the for- mer secretary of state as saying: “I saw the final draft of the note just before my resignation took ef- fect, but it contained an important change. 1 had no knowledge of the change at the time my resignation was tendered and accepted. This change, while very much softening the note, was not, however, sufficient in my judgment, to justify me in asking permission to withdraw my resignation.” The circular then giyes the purport- ed text of the “softening clause,” as follows: “If the imperial German govern- ment should deem itself to be in pos- session of convincing evidénce that the officials of the government of the United States did not perform these duties with thoroughness the govern- ment of the United States sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for consideration.” «© ‘f 2t in Line With at S.entimen& 4 | \J ‘Q bt | SAGUE WITH BREWERS GERMAN SUBSE MAKES SECOND TRIP Deutschland Arivers at New London with Cargo of Dyes, Drugs and Chemicals; TWENTY-ONE DAYS ON WAY New ,London, Conn, Nov. 1.—The German submarine Deutschland, which arrived here this morning from Bremen after what was, said to be an uneventful voyage of twenty-one days, has 4 cargo of 750 tong of dye- stuffs, medicines and“chemicals, Neither ‘Cajtain “Koenig nor_C: tainy, S h of the Ea Forwarding coriipahy were commini- |- cative as to details of the trip across the Atlantic, but they promised to see newspaper men late in the after- noon.

A heavy fo, lay over the harbor. For severa weeks the Eastern Forwarding com- pany, agents for its owners, had a tug each night off Montauk Point ready to meet the Bremen, but the tug was withdrawn some time ago. It was evident that the forwarding company had some warning of the Deutschland’s arrival, however, for a tug was engaged and Captain F. Hinsch of the company, accompanied by.the health officers, steamed out to meet the submersible, The North German Lloyd steamer Willehad, which had been at its dock here for a number of weeks awaiting the ar- rival of a German submarine freight- er, let its searchlight Elay on the water, marking the path by which the Deutschland traveled to its wharf., Delayed by Collision, Captain Koenig said that he had expected fo leave Bremen on October 1, but that his boat was injured in a collision and forced to put back for repairs, which delayed its sailing for ten days. The captain and the crew of twen- ty-five men were in excellent health and high spirits. The Deutschland carried clearance papers for “Balti- more or any Atlantic port.” The boat was no sooner moored than it was screened from sight by a pontoon carrying a high fence. Its crew went on board the Willehad. A score of negro stevedores went aboard the Willehad in readiness to begin breaking out the carge- of the submersible at daylight or as soon as {amcs McGovern of Bridgeport, col- ector of customs for the Connecticut district, had given the necessary per- mission. Captain Koenig said except for un- usual rough weather, the trip across had been uneventful. The Deutsch- land cargo'is said to consist mainly of chemicals and medicines. Return Cargo Ready. A return cargo from the Deutsch- land consisting mainly of crude rubber and surgical supplies, valued at more than $500,000, has been ready on the pier of the Eastern Forwarding com- pany for several weeks. The Deutchland is safely berthed here. The North German Lloyd steamship Willehad is made fast to piling at a distance of about fifty feet from the pier and in such a po- sition that with the ship on oge side, the pier on the other and the bank at one end, an open water space fifty by 385 feet is made enclosed on three sides.

The question under debate was: “Resolved, That Nebraska should maintain its present regulatory license and local option law, rather than ac- cept the proposed prohibitory amend- ment.” John Lee Webster presided as chairman and at the request of the debaters read to the audience the pro- posed amendment. Mr, Webster warned the crowd that “order would be maintained when it became appar- ent that the differences, of opinion of the members of the crowd might lead ta a rather “warm evening.” Talks About Himself.

Mr. Frost has procured a joint affie davit from the Americans who reached Crook Haven, and a similar cument from Amegrican survivors at Bear Haven, The affidavits agrée that the Marina was torpedoed without warning; that the first torpedo struck on the starboard side and the second hit the vessel twelve minutes later, and.was followed by ‘a boiler explo- sion, the steamer sinking six minutes afterward. No Americans were killed by the boiler explosion. Those who {lost their livea were drowned as the lifeboats were launched.

Cork (Via London), Nov. 1.—Fif- teen Americans who reached Cork Tuesday night with the other mem- bers of the crew of the Marina, after that steamer had been sunk by a submarine, are today under the care of the American consul. A number of survivors also reached Dublin, among whom is A. T, Wence of Sheridan, Wyo. “I saw two submarines,” said Rob- ert Preston, one of the crew, “while I was getting into the boat of Mr. Smith (the only surviving officer). The second explosion came after we were clear of the ship, The first torpedo had given the vessel a tre- mendous list. The second righted it and shook it from stem to stern and broke it up so that it sank imme- diately. “I saw thgee of the crew running up the stern as the vessel gave its last tumble. Captain Browne was the coolest man on board. During the launching of the boats he saw that every man visible was in a boat, then jumped for a boat himself, but missed it in the rough sea and was drowned befére our eyes,"” Questioned further in regard to the presence of two submarines, Preston said: “There was two plainly visible from the bridge.
