Design in Sinking

CAPTAIN TURNER AND RRITISH
Admiralty ahsolved
from blame.
LONDON, July 17. "The Lusitan
ia was torpedoed not merely with the
Intention of sinking the liner but also
of destroying human lives," was the
official finding of Lord Mersey, who
conducted the Inquiry. Mersey's re
port declared that Captain Turner
did not follow the Instructions of the
Admiralty entirely, but absolved him
from- responsibility In the sinking o'.
the ship.
"The blame must rest solely on
those who exploited and committed
the crime," the official finding said.
The admiralty was also absolved.
Mersey declared the admiralty au
thorities had devoted the greate-t
thought and care to the question ot
submarine attacks and had collected
all the Information likely to be need
ed to safeguard the Lusitania. Thij
Information was Imparted to Captain
Turner. The fast that some of the
boilers of the Lusitania were shut
down was held to be insignificant The
fact the submarine was not sighted
made It Improbable the liner could
have escaped, whatever speed she
might have been able to develop, It
was held.

For the purpose of finding homes
for orphan boys of New York, Charles
Sawyer Leland is making a coast to

day afternoon at 2 o'clock, having
walked from Duncan since morning.
He is spending today In the city. Mr
Sawyer represents a number of or

cities and they are helping defray the
expense of his long hike.
Since he left New York city on Jan

Since entering Oregon he has found
homes for 20. He Is scheduled to ar

and believes he will have no diffi

date.
Leland is a man of short stature
but takes a comparatively long stride
in walking. He has worn out five
pairs of shoes on his hike and is al
most ready for another new pair. He
carries a walking stick almost as heavy
as a baseball bat and this serves him
as a weapon of defense as well. He
makes it a point to call upon the gov

travels and the sheriffs of all coun
