THE COLOR LINE AT SEA.
Fine Row in the Umbria's Second
Glass Cabin.

New York, Feb. 4-The color line
was very sharply drawn at the con-
cert in the second cabin of the Cunard
line steamship Umbria, which has ar
rived from Liverpool. and as result
what was expected to be very enjoy
able event was not enjoyable at all.
This morning, when the Umbria locked,
an atmosphere of hostility was plainly
apparent whenever two or three second
cabin passengers grouped.
The trouble arose over the objection
by A. 3. Hatfield, of Baton Rouge. La,
who had been selected to act as direct
or of the concert. to have Frank Will
liams. of the Williams & Walker COM
pany of negro comedians. now playing
in London. to participate in the con-
cert Before the concert several of the
second cabin passengers requested Mr..
Hatfield to include a vocal selection by
Williams in the programme. and he re-
fused absolutely Other passengers
chairman-director was obdurate. Final
ly the situation became so tense that it
was decided to allow the matter to rest
until the evening of the concert Mr..
Hatfield, they argued, would probably
come to their way of thinging by that
time. But he did not.
The concert was very successful at
first. There were songs and speeches
and recltatiOnS, and Mr. Hatfield'S in
troductory remarks were in his best
vein. Everything went smoothly until it
became apparent that he was not going
to request Williams to sing. Then there
were mutterings in the audience, and
finally a petition asking that the d.
rector request Mr.. Williams to sing
was passed about and a great many
passengers signed it, Then some one
presented it to the director. Mr.. Hat
| field grew white with rage and said:
IT have here a petition requesting that
I call on Mr.. Williams for a song.
won't. But I will call on Darby Will
liams.'
Instantly there was an uproar. Kisses.
cat calls, laughter and shouts that
brought several officers down to the
cabin to see what had occurred. There
were cries of Williams, Williams Will
liams-speechl" and while the director
left his post and disappeared Williams
arose and haranged the audience. 9th
ers made speeches complimentary to the
race, while others commended the direc-
tors action. The meeting finally broke
up in chaos.
Mr. Hatfield came down the gang
plank with a great piece of cotton over
/ his left eye hiding a bruise, which he
said he had received from a fall. He
proclaimed his entire satisfaction with
the attitude he had taken at the con-
cert
The only other incident was the dis
appearance of a steerage passenger, APP
1 gust Nordeasyard, who is supposed to
have jumped or fallen overheard.

its expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs, produces a free expectoration, and
opens the secretions- 4 complete cure

severe cold in less time than any other
treatment and it leaves the system in a
natural and healthy condition. It coun-
teracts any tendency toward pneumonia.

Milk Bricks.

The inventors of method by which
milk is now being solidified on con-
siderable scale confidently believe that
their discovery will not only abolish
the many dangers of the dairy, but
viii eventually do away with the dairy
itself. They are confident, that is. that
the day of liquid milk is over.
People who have tried to solidify
milk before have employed too low q
temperature in their fear of decompos-
ing its fats and sugars, and in conse-
quence have failed But by the just
Hatmaker process the liquid milk Is
whisked round polished cylinders kept
at fierce heat by steam, and comes
off in a few seconds in the form OF a
continuous creamy-white sheet five
feet In width. This is reduced to pow
der and may be compressed into cakes.
The feature of the product Is that it
is still potentially milk-the whole
milk and nothing but the milk. and to
make new milk at any time 1t Is only
necessary to add the seven parts OF
water which have been eyaporated.
The result is said to be difficult to

turning quite fresh. Obviously 1t Is
impossible to water. skim or adulter-
ate solid milk, and a fact to which the
inventors attach extreme Importance
is that all attempts to cultivate mi
crobes on 1t have failed.

workers along the Monongahela river.
Next it returns and goes down the

Severe Cold Prevents the Attendance

London, March THE celebration
of "Bible Sunday" by the Bible society

robbed of considerable interest owing
to the absence of King Edward, who is

The archbishop of Canterbury. who
preached the sermon, referred regret
fully to the absence of King Edward,
and then traced the history of the BIZ

said that when people realized the

overcome in placing the sacred book

TRAFFIC IN GIRLS
Philadelphia Authorities Unable
Stor, the Terrible Practice.

Philadelphia, March 5.-sWe have
been thwslr'ted in our efforts to break
UP the Infamous white slave traffic"
Mayor Weaver made this statement
Yesterday. Beside him stood David j.
Sn1yth. director of public safety.
by whom were you thwarted?' =
was asked.
Il will not say more now than that
we were thwarted,' the Mayor re-
Piled A short time afterward Direc-
tor Sn1yth went to Judge Davis and
with him discussed the measures that
might be taken toward bringing the
persons who are guilty to justice.
The mayors statement was preceded
by discussion of the vitality shown
by the Infamous traffic under an adj
ministratlon avowedly hostile to 1T.
"Giris Actually Marketed"
I'VE have definite information" he
said, that there Is an organized inn
portation of young girls into this city,
for Immoral purposes. Not only are
they imported, but they are actually
marketed. ! mean that they are ac-
tually sold.
This matter was brought to the
notice oil. Director Sanyth and myself
when we were in the district attor-
ney's office together, and we have bent
every effort toward breaking up the
traffic ever since. We propose to
continue the work, IN spite of the
powerful opposition that confrouts us.
In his conference with Judge Davis,
Director Smyth saiu that he has pos
tive evidence that the PRINCIPALS in
the white slave trade are living in
New York City, DESPITE the fact that
scores OF detectives are looking for
hem.
Thru these men and their runners,
hundreds Of young Immigrant girls are
entrapped and sold for sums ranging
from two dollars. Many of them are
shipped into this city.
He told the judge that, when these
girls are caught in raids, they refuse
to tell anything concerning the men
who ei1qrapped and sold them. This IS
probably because OF threats that have
