take to pay the combine an annual sum
equal to dividend on shares amounting
TO at least 10000 600 marks. This pro-
vision was. agreed on when the capital
Of the German lines was 10000 900

Increase in the capital, a contingency
which meanwhile has arisen, the COM
bine reserved the right of increasing
the annual sum accruing to it to an
amount equaling dividends of % per

each direction to touch at French
ports. The Germans are debarred from
touching at Belgian ports with ships
running to and from North America,
and agree not to touch at English ports
exceeding seventy-five times for each
company each way, making an aggre-
gate Of 300 calls. The Germans are
free to increase their sailings from
French ports, in which case the COM
blne is entitled to an increase, proper
tiOnately.
The establishment of new lines or the
extension of existing service, if so large
as to double the present number of
salllngs, must, before being carried out.
be submitted to committee of the
joint contracting parties. The combine
viii not have the right to prevent such
extension, however. In the event of

WARMEST DAY OF YEAR.
Summer Weather is Followed by
Light Thunderstorm.

Yesterday broke the record Of the sea
son for temperature, being by far the
warmest day of the year. The thermOm-
eter began to get ambitious at sunrise
yesterday morning and kept climbing IN
III 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
the SS-degFee mark was reached.
The summer temperature made itself
felt very plainly throughout the city and
pedestrians walked out of their way to
seek the SHADY side OF the street. The
spring overcoat that has been so com
Portable for the past few weeks was dis
carded as a nuisance and there were
many longing wishes that the lake sea
son were open.
The water at the lake reached a tenn
peTauure of IS degrees. just ( degrees be-
low the point for perfect comfort in bath
ing. stiff breeze blew during the day
and to this is probably due the fact that
the heat was not felt so much as IL would
have been under other circumstances.
Last night the elements assumed a
stOrm-like appearance and the artillery
OF the clouds was heard in the form of
light thunderstorm.

LAUGH AT SLEUTHS.
Famous s12,ooo,oOO swindlers Fail
to Appear for Arrest.

New York, May 26.-If they are within
reach of the news. it is probable the
members of the now famous Humbert
family who are alleged to have swindled
French and English bankers out of about
Sl2,000,00O in the last eighteen years. are
enjoying a good laugh at the disappoint
ment which they have caused on both
sides of the Atlantic by their failure TO
be among the passengers on the steam
ship Umbria, which has just arrived here.
Information had been received which led
those at the head of the detective force
in this city to expect to find at least
two of the gang on board the Umbria
but the sleuths who swarmed over the
liner at Quarantine were disappointed in
their search and the present whereabouts
of the Humberts remains a mystery.
IN police circles the impression is gain
ing ground that. after all, the family is
not to be expected in America, or at any
rate, not at this port The Umbria seems
TO be the last of the transatlantic liners
on which they might have slipped away
from Europe before the hue and cry
after them had attained worldwide pro-
portions.
