LUSITANIA IS SUNK
GREAT STEAMER SENT TO BOT
TOM BY GERMAN SUBSEA.
V
OVER THOUSAND LIVES LOST
German Warning That Doom Awaited
Big Cunarder Unheeded; Disaster
Shocks Official Washington.
Londoh.—The C'unard liner Lusi
tania, one of the finest, fastest and
biggest liners on the ocean, which
sailed out of New York May 1, with
more than 2,000 persons aboard, lies
at the bottom of the ocean off the
Irish coast. It was sunk by a Ger
man submarine, which sent two tor
pedoes crashing into its side, while
the passengers, seemingly confident
that the great vessel could elude the
German underwater craft, were hav
ing luncheon.
A ship's steward, who landed with
others at Queenstown, gave it as his
opinion that 1,000 persons were lost.
Describing the experience of the
Lusitania, the steward said:
"The passengers were at lunch
v. hen a submarine came up and fired
two torpedoes, which struck the Lusi
tania on the starboard side, one for
ward and the other in the engine
room. They caused terrific explo
sions.
"Captain Turner immediately order
ed the boats out. The ship began to
list badly immediately.
“Ten boats were put into the water
and between 400 and 500 passengers
entered them. The boat in which I
was approached the land with three
other boats and we were picked up
by the Storm Cock.
“There was only fifteen minutes
from the time the ship was struck
until it foundered, going down bow
foremost. It was a dreadful sight.”
The Lusitania was steaming along
about ten miles off Old Head Kins
ale on the last leg of its voyage to
Liverpool, when about 2 o’clock in
the afternoon of May 7, a submarine
suddenly appeared, and, so far as all
reports go, fired two torpedoes, with
out warning, at the steamer. One
struck it near the bows and the other
in the engine room. The powerful
agents of destruction tore through
the vessel’s side, causing terrific ex
plosions. Almost immediately great
volumes of water poured through
the openings and the Lusitania listed.
A wireless call for help was sent out
and immediately rescue boats of all
kinds were sent out both from the
neighboring points along the coast
and Queenstown. But within fifteen
minutes, as one survivor estimated,
and certainly within half an hour,
the Lusitania had disappeared.
The Lusitania was one of the lerg
est of the trans-Atlantic liners, as
well as one of the speediest. She was
built in Glasgow in 1906. She was
759 feet long, eighty-eight feet beam
and sixty-feet deep. Her gross ton
nage was 22,500 and her net tonnage
9,115. She was owned by the Cunard
Steamship Co., Ltd., of Liverpool.
It was the third big trans-Atlantic
liner lost since the war started. The
two others were the White Star Liner
Oceanic, wrecekd off the north coast
of Scotland, September 8 last, and
Ihe North German Lloyd steamer,
Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, converted
into a German auxiliary cruiser,
which was sunk by the Highflyer,
August 27.
Hits Washington Like Bomb.
Washington.—Torpedoing of the
British liner Lusitania with scores of
Americans on board shocked offi
cial Washington as had no other in
cident since the outbreak of the Eu
ropean war.
The feeling was widespread that if
any American lives had been lost the
United States in view of its strong
warning to Germany would be con
fronted with the necessity of taking
steps to safeguard the lives of its
citizens on the high seas.
Sailed in Face of Warning.
New York.—The Lusitania, with to
tal of 1,251 passengers aboard, of
whom 188 were Americans, and with
a crew of 816, sailed from here
May 1, In the face of a warning
published on the day of her depar
ture by the German embassy, which
stated that travelers intending to
embark on British ships did so at
the risk of the ships being destroyed,
in accordance with the German war
zone decree.
Report Vanderbilt Among Lost.
London.—The Times’ Queenstown
correspondent says that some of the
survivors who have arrived there re
port that Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
was drowned.
188 Americans On Board.
New York.—There were 188 Ameri
can passengers in all aboard the Lus
itania, according to a compilation
made at the Cunard offices. Thp Brit
ish numbered 95f> and other national
ities made up the remainder of the
1,253 passengers aboard.
Surgeons and Nurses to Euron;.
Chicago.—A hospital unit of thirty
two doctors and seevntv-four nurses
is being organized in Chicago for ser
vice with the British army, according
to an announcement.

STATE CROPS 600D
WINTER WHEAT AND ALFALFA
ESPECIALLY PROMISING.
GRASS MAXES GREAT GROWTH
Heavy Snows During Past Winter
Has Wet Ground Deeper Than
For Several Years.
Lincoln..—Nebraska crops and soil
conditions were reported to be excel
lent in the state board of agricul
ture’s bulletin, just issued. Winter
wheat and alfalfa are especially prom
ising, according to all reports reach
ing the state board from various sec
tions of the state. The survey fol
lows:
"The great amount of snow during
the past winter, covering the ground
continuously for a period extending
fiom the middle of December to the
latter part of March over the greater
part of the state, prevented frost
from penetrating but slightly into
the ground and permitted nearly all
of the melted snow to be absorbed.
The ground is wet down to a greater
depth than for several years past,
therefore, a very little moisture is
needed for finishing the grain crop,
providing it comes at a seasonable
time.
"From reports received, winter
wheat is in excellent condition, the
growth being further advanced and
heavier than last year, when ithe rec
ord crop of the state was gathered.
From every section of the state the
most favorable reports have been re
ceived.
"The backward spring and wet
fields have prevented early sowing
of oats. On some high ground sow
ing was done as early as the middle
of April, but a greater part of the
crop was put in from the 20th to the
last of the month. The early sown
is showing through the ground nicely,
as the condition of the soil is favor
able to quick growth.
"Never in the history of the plant
has alfalfa shown up to better ad
vantage than at this time.
"Grass has made a wonderful
growth in the past two weeks. Stock
men hail this fact with delight after
a three months’ period of feeding,
something almost unknown hereto
fore in Nebraska. The long period
of feeding taxed the farmers to the
utmost, as they have not been in the
habit of making such preparations:
therefore, the stock came through in
poorer condition than is customary.”
Sanitary Survey of the State.
Proposal to make an extensive and
thorough sanitary survey of the state
has been made by tlie board of sec
retaries of the state board of health.
The probability is. according to board
membrs, that the step cannot be ta
ken at the present time because of
the lack of funds. That, however, is
not expected to be a bar for many
years. The plan of the secret-ries is
to have a survey similar to the Dow
ling survey, which so startled the in
habitants of Louisiana two or three
years ago. Sanitary trains will be
run from town to town and the trav
eling corps will visit each place and
do the work entirely at first hand.
Stores, residences, municipal water
plants and garbage disposal concerns
will come in for attention. Lectures
on public health and demonstrations
along the same line would be given
at all towns visited.
Farmers May Choose Speakers.
Points dt*siring agricultural short
courses the coming fail and winter
will have the opportunity of choos
ing lecturers and demonstrations on
the particular subjects they wish,
providing they do not include sub
jects from more than three depart
ments at the University Farm. The
schedule- for the season is being rap
idly made up by the Extension Serv
ice of the Cottage cf Agriculture.
Fair Board Orders Improvements.
The board of managers of the state
fair have authorized some general
repair work on the hog barns and
other buildings, the repainting of the
big grandstand and the filling in of
the old creek bed that runs through
the southwest part of the grounds.
Olson Appointed New Judge.
A. R. Olson of Wisner has ben ap
pointed judge of the Ninth judicial
district, the last legislature provid
ing for an additional judge by taking
Cuming and Stanton counties from
the Eighth district and adding them
to the Ninth. '
Commander in-Chief to Jpeak.
Conirp.ander-in-rhipf David J. Pal
mer of Washington. Ia.. will speak
May 18, at the thirty ninth annual en
ermpment of the G. A. R. of Nebras
ka to be held at Minden.
School Increasing Acre Yield.
The univrsity school of agriculture
has increased the yield of the aver
age acre of Nebraska corn by about
eighteen bushels, according to Dean
E. A. Burnett of the school. The
state has been divided into six zones
and the farmers shown that each
one of these zones, diJering in its
conditions, will best grow certain
kinds of corn. The state is also con
ducting important work in the pre
vention of hog cholera, according to
Dean Burnett.
Postpone Hearing to July 6.
U. G. Powell, railway commission
rate expert, now in Chicago, tele
graphed the commission that the
passenger rate hearing before the in
ter-state commerce commission has
been postponed to July 6. It was to
have started about May 15. The com
merce commission is now hearing
western freight rate cases and the
passenger rate cases, in which Ne
braska was '. particularly interested,
were to have been started in Chi
