Normandy Ordered to Stand By
on Peril of Destruction
by Submarines.
11 DROWN ON STEAMSHIP
Crew of United States Merchantman
l'ells How German Captain Board
ed Bark, Then Hid Behind
It Until Shot Is Fired.
LIVERPOOL July 13. How an
American ship is alleged to have been
used as a shield by a German sub
marine lor the sinking1 of another ves
sel is the story related by members of
the crew of the American bark Nor
mandy, which has arrived here from
Gulfport. Miss.
The story is that the Normandy was
stopped by a German submarine 60
miles southwest of Tuskar Rock, off
the southeast coast of Ireland. Friday
night. The captain was called aboard
the submarine, where his papers were
examined and found to show that the
ship was chartered by an American
firm January 5.
American Craft Threatened.
The captain of the bark, it was as
serted, was allowed to return to the
Normandy, but under the threat that
his ship would be destroyed unless he
stood by and obeyed orders. These
orders, it was said, were that he was
to act as a shield for the submarine,
which lay at the side of the bark, hid
ing itself from an approaching - vessel.
This vessel proved to be the Rus
sian steamer Leo. Presently the sub
marine submerged and proceeded
around the bow of the Normandy, sa
the story went, and 10 minutes later
the crew of the Normandy saw the
Leo blown up.
Twenty-five persons were on board.
of whom 11 were drowned, including
three stewardesses.
Three Americana Sa'ed
Those saved included three Ameri
cans Walter Emery, of North Caro
lina; Harry Clark, of Sierra, and Harry
Whitney, of Camden, N. J.
- All these three men, when Inter
viewed, corroborated the foregoing
story. They declared that no oppor
tunity was grlven those on board the
Leo for saving life.
The Leo was bound from Philadel
phia to Manchester with a general
cargo.
The captain of the Normandy told
the survivors he would have liked to
signal their danger to them, but that
he dared not do so, because his un
insured ship would then have been in
stantly sunk.

will be 'in the red' every month it
operates."
Mr. Montague bided his time and
soon took the floor.
'Mr. Carey and his constituents are
like Joab of old. who said ! it well
with ye, brethren? and at the same
time Inserted a knife between their
fifth and sixth ribs."
On two items in the freight fran
chise, Arthur A. Murphy. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney, and the United Railways
could not agree.
It was pointed out that Llnnton road
has not yet been taken over by the
city and Is still a county road. The
railroad right of way along this road,
therefore, still would be under the
jurisdiction of the county.
Disagreement as to the form of fran
chises caused a postponement of def
inite action. New forms of franchises,
the items of which were practically
agreed to yesterday, will be presented
to the Commissioners today. Final ac
tion will be taken tomorrow, it was
announced.
BRYAN EXPLAINS STAND
Americans Should Not Ride on Bel
ligerent Ships, He Says.
HERMOSA BEACH, CaL. July 13.
William J. Bryan. ex-Secretary of
State, who Is spending a brief vacation
here with his son. issued tonight a
statement in explanation of what he
meant by "unnecessary risk, which
was contained in his statement yester
day in connection with the last German
note.
He pointed out that it was a patriotic
duty for an American to avoid risks
which might involve his country in
war.
Mr. Bryan accepted today an Invita
tion to speak In Los Angeles next
Thursday on "The Causeless War."
Mr. Bryan was asked what he meant
by "unnecessary risks" a used in his
statement yesterday in connection with
the last German note. He said:
"Any traveler takes an unnecessary
risk when he goes into the war zone
on a belligerent ship, knowing that It
is subject to attack by submarines. A
traveler also takes unnecessary risks
when he rides on a neutral snip car
rying ammunition.
"I believe that our Government would
be Justified In separating passengers
from ammunition, but until this la done
American travelers would be justified
in refusing to take passage on
Demgerent snip or a neutral snip car
rying ammunition.
"If patriotism requires a man to risk
his life for his country when his coun
try-Is engaged in war. it would seem
to be patriotic for a citizen to avoid
riskx that might involve his country
In war.

the Raymond Trust Company, recent!
convicted of making a false state

sentenced to from two to ten years at

appeal to the State Supreme Court. He
telegraphed yesterday from Seattle to
County Attorney O I'helan that he wa.

Johnson gave up the Idea of appeal
when he learned that County Attorney

which he was convicted.

Theater Managers Open Attack or
Orchestras and Discuss Plan to
Do Without Accompaniment
. at All Performances.
No orchestra music accompanied lira.
Patrick Campbell's presentation of
Pygmalion" at the Hellig Theater Mon
day night, and before the week is out It
is probable that music will bo dispensed
with in all other theaters in the city.
Including the moving picture hou..r.
This is the theater managers latest
move in their contest with the union
musicians.
It Is their method of canting defi
ance at the union for the union's at
tempt to enforce a mlnimum-number-
of-men law upon the theaters for the
employment of orchestra musicians.
The present attitude of the theaters
is in the nature of an offensive move
ment against the musicians, and the
Hellig Theater, it seems, has taken the
initiative In this offensive campaign.
The Theatrical Managers' Protective
organization will hold a meeting within
the next few days. when. It Is pre
dieted, concerted action will be taken
to oust the orchestras from all the
show houses In Portland.
Music Lark ot Uetriaaeat.
"Our show proceeded very satisfac
torily tonight." said W. T. 1'angle. man
ager of the Hellig, after the perform
ance. "The patrons and the players ail
seemed satisfied, and we beard not one
word of complaint. Mrs. Campbell's
play is a drama and music Is not men
liaL It Is probable. Indeed, that few
of our ratrons missed It-"
It is Improbable that the theaters will
tterapt to employ non-union musician.
but they declare that they will Insist
on their rights to designate the n um
ber of men they shall employ in their
own orchestras.
The present difficulty has arisen
over an alleged minimum law which
the musicians say went into effect last
May. The theatrical managers, how
ever, aver that they have no knowl
edge of such a law.
Limit Placed on Orckemtra.
Under this alleged law the Hellig
must employ no fewer than five men
In its orchestra. The Empress and
Pantages Theaters mujt employ no
fewer than six men. the Orpheum eight
men when it Is playing vaudeville, the
Baker five men and each of the other
bouses a certain fixed number of men.
It appears that these arbitrary stand
ards were tacitly followed by the
theater managers as a coincidence and
not in compliance with the musicians'
requesta.
Then, a few weeks ago. came the new
sliding scale from the office of the
musicians' union, which would have
forced the Hellig to increase the num
ber of men in its orchestra to 10 and
each of the other theaters In propor
tion to their size.
Redaction, la Opposed.
The theaters refused to accept this
scale and gave the required two weeks'
dismissal notice to the men. But the
Central Labor Council stepped In and
dclared that the proceedings followed
by the musicians' union In presenting
their new scale were Irregular and tna
the notice served upon the theatrics
managers, therefore, was Illegal as
instrument of organized labor. The
musicians accordingly withdrew this
sliding scale.
Hut they retained In effect their al
leged scale, which they say was agree!
to last May. The Hellig. under this
scale. w-uld be required to play five
men In the orchestra.
Last week the Hellig gave notice that
for Mrs. Patrick Campbell's engage
ment only three men would be required
"It's five or nothing." was the nub-
etantial answer of the union.
"Then it's nothing." rer ponded the
Hellig.
ro It was that Mrs. 7ampbell ap
peared sans musical accompaniment.
"The unions can fix the price of their
services and we will pay the price.'
say the theater managers, "but we re
serve the right to say how many men
we shall employ."

One of the most interesting portions of the book is that dealing with the
feeding of the immense army of laborers, A few paragraphs concerning one
of the foods chosen and supplied by the Commissary Department, are quoted
(beginning page 42S) as follows:
"Visitors to the canal who were irvi
ler;el to jret frlimpse of the routine inner
life will recall a familiar picture of work
men hoitis: to their places of labor carryinir
round yellow tins.
"Often, as they went, they munched a
food poured from the tin into the hand.
This food, which played no inconsiderable
part in buildim the canal, was the well
known article of diet, 'GRAPE-NUTS.'
"The mention of Grape-Nuta in this con
nection is peculiarly pertinent. Not merely
because Grape-Nut is a food for of course
proper food was an, integral part of the bip
enterprise but because it is a cereal food
which successfully withstood the effects of
a tropical climate. This characteristic of
Grape-Nuts was pretty well known and
constituted a eopent reason for its selection
for use in the Canal Zone.
"This food is so thoroughly baked thai it
keeps almost indefinitely in any climate, as
has been demonstrated strain ar.d acsin.
"One finds Grape-Nuts on transoceanic
steamships, in the islands of the seas, in
Alaska, South America, Japan, alonir the
.China coast, in Manila, Australia, South
Africa, and on hijrhways of travel and the
byways of the junrrle in short, wherever
minimum of bulk and maximum of nourish
ment are requisite in food which has to be
transported or.g distances, and often under
extreme difficulties.
"The very enviable reputation which
Grape-N'uts has attained in these ropects
caused it to be chosen as one of the foot!
for the Canal Zone."
