TROUBLE FOR THE
ATLANTIC LINERS
MUST PROVIDE SEAT AT TABLE
FOR EVERY PASSENGER.
Captain Arrested for Not Observing
Rule-May Be Move eainst IN
desirable immigrants.

New York, Aug. 7.-Whether they
acted for the sake of humanity or exc
cuted a clever move to make ii impos-
sible for the transatlantic steamship
companies to bring into this country
wholesale loads OF immigrants at a
low figure, the immigration authorities
today secured the arrest of captain OF
an incoming liner on the charge Of
failure TO provide seats at tables for
any passengers outside of those in the
first cabin. The immigration authori-
ties claim that every immigrant pas
senger is entitled to seat at table
on all vessels. This rule has been a
dead letter and had never been en-
forced.
Today Capt. Romaldo de Parovich,
of the steamship Georgia, upon arriv-
ing from Mediterranean ports, was
placed under arrest upon the complaint
of Immigrant Inspector Archibald c..
Longstreet. He was charged with fail
ure to provide seats at a table for the
steerage passengers of his ship during
the, serving of the meals.
| IT is the practice to hand out grub"
to the immigrants, who provide their
own tin pans and cups and partake of
their plain fare while seated on their
luggage or on the edge Of their hunks.
To enforce the law requiring the
ships TO furnish places at table for
the immigrants, the steamship CCmpa-
nies declare, will practically make the
carrying of immigrants a profitless
business if the low rate is to be main
tanned. The tables and chair would
take up valuable space, and the steam
ship companies cannot afford, it is
said, to make the change SO as to COM
ply with the law.
Capt. Paroyich was taken before a
United States commissioner and gave
5000 cash bail to appear before the
grand jury when wanted
The steamship companies will, it is
said, make test case of the captains S
arrest and stand by him and his COM
pany in an endeavoT to prove the i'm
migration rule one that does not have
to be lived up to.
1t is intimated that the captains ar
rest is the outcome of a quiet cam
paign on the part of the federal au-
thorities to put stop to the wholesale
arrivals of undesirable immigrants
from Mediterranean ports, and that the
sleeping rule" was sprung today for
this purpose, and not because the au-
thorit!es were mindful of the ease and
comfort of the immigrants while en-
route to this country.

FIRST SUIT IS FILED
FROM ATWATER WRECK
Bertha Crawford Sues the Pennsyl.
vania for $4,000 for the Wreck
Last June Near Alliance.

The first suit as a result of the
Pennsylvania wreck near Atwater.
last June, was fled when Bertha

Crawford, the Cuyahoga Falls horti'
culturist, commenced suit to recover

ders and other parts of the plaintiffs

WHAT BILLY WILL
TELL UNCLE NED
WHEN THE ROYAL RELATIVES
MEET AT FRANKFORT.
Doesn't Want War With England, But
Something Must Be Done to
Clear Atmosphere.

Chicago, Aug IA special cable
gram TO the Daily News from Berlin
says:
If the kaiser meets King Edward
next week at Frankfort he will, ac-
cording to good authority here, tell his
uncle that. while Germany does not
want war with England, nevertheless
the present atmosphere of mutual
hatred, jealousy and suspicion must be
destroyed, or Europe will remain in
danger of an explosion. King Edward
will be given to understand that Ger
many holds England responsible for
the creation of this situation. Your
correspondent was informed that the
consequences to which the present sit
uation may lead are now causing Ger
many's responsible statesmen deepest
anxiety.
These possible consequences filled a
large place in the kaiser's recent inter
views with King Oscar of Sweden with
King Christian of Denmark and with
the czar. There have been official at
tempts to render less apparent and TO
obscure the seriousness of the situa-
ton, but William and his advisers are
profoundly concerned over England's
constantly increasing hatred of Ger
many. 1t is thought that this hatred
is now more virulent than ever be-
fore. Germany accuses the Cape Col
ony government of lending clandestine
support to the rebels Of Germanys s
West African territory and Of hamper
ing in every possible way the suppress
sion Of the rebellion which has al
ready cost Germany 4OO,0OO,OO0 marks
($96, 600 000).
The August numbers of the leading
English reviews are adduced as addi-
tional evidence Of the extent of the
anti-German frenzy. In the light OF
these facts the prospective meeting of
William and Edward arouses only per-
functory enthusiasm. The Germans
know that the British prejudice
against them is too deeply rooted 10
affected by any casual conferences OF
their imperial highnesses. Apart from
the fact that Edward himself is re-
garded as the first "Germanophobe" in
England, it is well understood here
that the British monarch has so high
a regard for public sentiment that he
would not lift finger in the effort to
| cause a rapproachment which would
be bound to be unpopular with many
Of his subjects.
1t may be said that thoughtful Ger
mans generally are anxious that Amer
leans should guard against Judging
German policy from the "self-right-
eous British standpoint" They declare
that the British charges to the effect
that the Germans have shown med
dlesome and aggressive intentions are
nothing but assertions best contra
dicted by the unbroken peace which
William has enforced for seventeen
years.

salineville, Aug. 7.-Society re-
ceived q shock here Sunday when Mar
shal J. j. Higgins placed under arrest
James V. Gill of Pittsburg, Pa, upon
very delicate charge preferred by
Miss Mollie Gallagher. The charge

son July 1st but the young man had

to the village under cover of darkness
and visited friends He was formerly
in the meat business in the village
and his shop was patronized by the
elite of the village. He suddenly
wanted to dispose of his business and
lis actions were curious, but the peo-
pie of the village did not know the
reason, until he was arrested here
Sunday while calling on a lady friend.
He was given a hearing Monday morn
ing and the justice bound him over to
await the next term of common pleas

parties are prominent and the arrest
produced a sensation. The young

NARROW ESCAPE
OF Manager Griffith, of New York
Americans From Poisoning.

New York, Aug. Manager Clark
Griffith of the New York American
league baseball club escaped death last
night by the naTrowest Of margins.
He spent part of yesterday at Coney
Island with his wife and friends, and
while on the way home was taken i'll
with ptomaine poisoning on the ele-
waited train. Griffith was in such ter
Iible agony that the train was stopped
at Borough Park and he was carried to
a nearby drug store. Fortunately
there was a physician on hand and by
drastic treatment the sufferer was re-
leved, but not so much so that he
could be taken to his home in Man
haitian. He was carried to a room
over the drug store, where he received
constant attention all night by the
physician and Mrs Griffith. Tonight
he is pronounced to be out Of danger.
Owner Frank Farrell sent his auto
mobile over to Borough Park soon af-
ter noon, and Griffith was taken to his
home.
The physician who attended Griffith
diagnosed the case as one of ptomaine
poisoning and said that the manager
just barely escaped death. A delay Of
another five minutes in reaching Grif-
fifth by the doctor would have been
fatal
