Is Thought to Be Among Lost Survivors Are Being
Landed At Various Points
'London, Nov. 10. Nearly three hun
dred persons, mostly women and chil
dren, possibly including several Amer
icans, lost their lives when a submarine
torpedo crashed into the Italian liner
Aneona off Bizerta, Tunis, yesterday,
according to Lloyds todnv.
Of 582 uhonrd only 270 are definite
ly accounted for ns saved.
Madrid dispatches reporting British
destruction of two Oerman submarines
off Gibraltar were deemed significant.
Suggestions were current that u tier
muu unterseeboote, shielded behind an
Austrian flag, was the real perpetrator
of what was denounced by Englishmen
us an uupnrdouuble outrage. Whether
tho attack on the vessel was without
warning, or whether she was attempting
flight, was not known.
Survivors, according to dispatches,
have been landed at Bizerta, I'upe Bon
tind Ferryvitle, Africa. "
Prince Cnssuno, a famous Italian
painter, was among the passengers but
Ins fate is unknown. Home advices in
dicated that the heaviest casualties
were among the emigrant passengers.
That the nttneking submarine fired
100 shells at the Ancona gave some
ground for belief that she was attempt
ing to escape.
Lloyds figures gained confirmation

Fate of Many Unknown.
Romo, Nov. 10. The fate of the miss
ing persona who were aboard the Ital
ian liner Anemia which was torpedoed
yesterday by au Austrian submarine,
was still uncertain today. Ten hun
dred and seventy had been reported
lauded at Bizerta, Tunis, uud other re
ports indicated additional survivors
landed elsewhere.
Meantime the government made ev
ery effort to get exact figures.
Whether any Americans were among
the victims of the Austrian undersea
craft was still iu doubt.
That the torpedoing came with Utile
or no warning was deemed probable
from the fact that among the survivors '
are some wounded. This indicates thai
the torpedo struck the vessel while her I
company was still nbourd
The submarine which sank tho An
cona was of a large type and flew the
Austrian flag. The Ancona reached
Naples from New York on October 'i.
carrying 12(5 Italian reservists and was
bound back for New York when she was
attacked in the Mediterranean goon aft

verse Report
INDEPENDENT ENGINEER
CALLED IN CONSULTATION
Would Be Closed Today If
Any Other Bridge Were
Near Says Holmes
The
weak and wobbly steel bridge
was in
for unother examination this
afternoon which will in all probability
result in tho permanent closing of the
structure.
"The bridge is safer after being re
paired than it was before but still is
not safe," said Assistant Highway En
gineer Holmes this afternoon, "aud if
there were another bridge available
within any reasonable distance tho steel
bridge would be closed tonight."
When the workmen began their re
pairs on the bridge it was found that
steel that looked to be in a good stuto
of preservation was rusted to tho cen
ter. Rivets thut appeared to bo solid
were broken in tin' fingers aud one
plate three-fourths of an inch in thick -
uess and eight or 10 -inches wido was
broken in the hands of tho workmen
as it was taken out of the bridge. In
view of these conditions the state high
way engineering department called in
II. Morse, who is the western represen
tative of Ralph Mojeska to make an
other exsminution. f the structure.
The bridge department of the state
highway commission is standing square
ly behind their report when they pro
nounced it imperative that the bridge
be closed and state that the repairs
now being made are simply replacing
rrienibers that have entirely deteriorat
ed, As other members are being un
covered jt has been found that the
steel was in worse condition than an
ticipated and will never be safe though
it will bo improved by tho repairs. In
order that an entirely unbiased opiniob
might be rendered on the bridge Mr.
Morse was called in to look over the
structure.
Tho bridge department and tho coun
ty courts have considered tho urgent
public demand that the bridge be kept
open in view of the business that daily
passes over the bridge but if tho rc-,
port of Mr. Morse is that the bridge is
unsafe even for light traffic it will be
closed by the county court. Mr. Morse
had not finished his report this after
noon but the further he dug Into the
rusted steel the more dubious was the
outlook for the life of the structure.
The bridge has also developed a de
cided leaning upstream and the wenk
eued laterals will not permit tighten
ing to draw the structure bnck into
line. The report of Mr. Morse will be
made-to the highway engineer's office
and then submitted to tho county court.
It has been estimntod that the closing
of the bridge would cause a daily loss
of $000 to the city of Salem and it is
in view of this fact that every effort
is beinir made to keop the bridgo open.
The expenses of repairs now being made
are but a small percentage of the losr
that would be sustained if the bridge
were closed for any. length of time and
the bridgo department considers that
the money spent In replacing tho rot
ten plates Is well spent.
