CoRNERING THE EMIGRANTS
Germans and Austrians Combine to
Control Their Transportation

Special Cable TO The Herald
BERLIN, Feb. 25.-A further check
is to be put on Russian emigration to
America by English and American
lines. The German companies have
control stations ON the Russo-German
frontier, where emigrants who have
not booked by the German lines are
turned back.
1t has been found that many emil
grants evaded the watchfulness OF the
companies by travelling through Aus
trla and via Munich or Dresden to
Antwerp. where they got into touch
with the Anglo continental emigrant
office. The German companies have, in
consequence. entered into combina-
tioin with the Austro-American COM
pany to extend the control stations all
along the Austro-German frontier.
In statement issued recently they
naively admit that hitherto their plans
have been to some extent frustrated.

ALBERT MEDAL
FOR HEROIC ACT
RESCUE OF IMPERlLED WOMAN
DULY HONORED
Engishman Displays Rare Presence
of Mind and Receives Reward
.... for Exceptional
Bravery
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The king has
conferred the Albert medal of the first
class upon Albert V. Hardwick of
Mushwell Hill for exceptional bravery
displayed at Finsbury Park railway
station on December 21.
The deed for which Mr. Hardwick is
thus honored occurred during the
dense fog which lasted for some days
before Christmas.
He was one of large crowd of pas
sengers waiting for much delayed
train at Finsbury Park station. The
train was just drawing up in
the station, when a woman was seen
to fall on the line. The engine was
only twenty yards away. Without
moments hesitation Mr.. Hardwick
jumped on the line. With extraordi
nary presence of mind he pulled the
woman between the rails and then,
holding her down by the head, threw
himself fiat beside her. The train
passed over both without inflicting any
injury to either the man or the woman.
An effort was made by the Hornsey
Borough council to obtain the Royal
Humane Society'S medal for Mr..
Hardwick, but this was refused. Then
the council petitioned the king, asking
his majesty to beStOW the Albert me-
day-the "V. c." of private life-upon
Mr.. Hardwick. The mayor of Hornsey
has announced that he has received
letter from the home secretary stating
that the king had acceded to the re-
quest.

IRRIGATION IN CHALDEA
Sir William Wilcox Proposes to Re.
store the Ancient Works


BOMBAY, Feb. 25.-Sir William
Wilcox, whose work in connection
with the irrigation of Egypt is so well
known, has been investigating the
practicability Of restoring the ancient
Chaldean irrigation works on the Eu-
pirates and Tigris. II am amazed"
he said this week in an interview, "at
the scope existing on the two rivers
for irrigation and at the ease with
which the works can be constructed"
Sir William says he has divided the
irrigable area into fifteen blocks, the
first of which will cost $40,00O,OOO. If
the concession be obtainable, he urges
that British should cooperate in the
success of the scheme by building a
railway from Bagdad to Nushki
"My irrigation work in Egypt is fin
ished," he added, land long to make
the dry bones OF Chaldea live"

PHONOGRAPH BUSINESS
SUSPENDED IN FRANCE
Courts Hold That Reproduction of a
Song Constitutes Public
Performance

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Feb. 25.-An extraordinary
state of affairs has been brought about
in the Photographic world by a de-
cision in the Paris court of appeals in
a case brought by the French Society
of Music Authors and Composers
against the phonograph manufacturers
of France.
In consequence of this decision the
manufacture and sale of phonograph-
ic cylinders and discs of all kinds has
been entirely suspended throughout
the country and hundreds of workmen
are idle.
The Society of French Music Authors
maintain the fact of registering a song
or a selection from an opera on a disc
or cylinder constitutes a public per-
formance, and renders the manufac-
turer and holder of the disc or cylin-
der liable to pay the society's fee every
time it is put in use.
This extraordinary view is, it ap-
pears, legally correct, and the result is
the sudden cessation of the phono-
graph business in France. In view of
this far reaching decision, a cabinet
council was held this week to decide
what measures could be taken to
bring about a solution of this unex-
pected difficulty.

FAMOUS FRENCH VETERAN
COMPLETES HIS CENTURY
Hero of Score of Battles Closing His
Career in Peaceful
Retirement
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Feb. 25.-The oldest veteran
of the French army became a centen-
arian this week. This happy and very
interesting gentleman is Major Des-
marets, who is passing the evening of
an eVentful life in peaceful retire
ment at Melun. The son of a gallant
officer, whose father well remembered
Louis Quinze, he was being brought
up as an artist when the military in
stincts of the family led him to enlist.
He was, indeed, upward of 30, when
he was promoted to the rank of sub
lieutenant, and he fought in the Grim
can war, being at the battles of the
Alma and Inkerman, and having a
marvellous escape during the assault of
Malakoff.
Desmarets also took part in the cam
paign in Italy. distinguishing himself
at Magenta, and as he had left the ar
my when the war of 1870 broke out, he
organized a company of franc tireurs
and had an ugly wound from an uh-
lan's lance, which gave him trouble
for a long time afterward.
He is fine old man, still erect, with
white hair and beard, bright eyes and
fair complexion. To what does the
major attribute his longevity? His ex-
planation is very simple. He has kept
clear of three thngs-absinthe, tobac-
co and last. but not least, matrimony

MORE DETAILS ON
NORTH SEA EVENT
ENGLISH DIPLOMAT RELATES
INTERESTING FACTS
Explains How Russians We're MisIed
by Green Rockets Used by Traw-
Iers, and Mistook Them for
Japanese Signals
Special cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
PARIS. Feb. 25.--An English diplo.
mat who has had an opportunity of as
certaining at first hand a number of
the facts connected with the tragic
event on the Dogger bank, gives the
following particulars confirming the
few fragmentary details that became
known at the time, and giving a num-
ber of new ones.
The Russians were misled by the
green rockets, which they thought
were Japenese signals. As matter of
fact the green rocket signal is un-
known except to those who are in the
habit of crossing the Dogger bank.
1t is a signal to the trawlers and Is
only fred from the "Admirars" ship
of the trawling hotilla.
on seeing the green signals the
Kamchatka altered her course and
went blundering into the west squad
ron, where she met the Aurora. They
signalled to each other but as they
were working from two different sig
nal code books they did not under
stand one another, and the Kamchatka
opened fire on the Aurora. The first
shot struck the letter on the starboard
bow, killing a priest and three others.
The Aurora returned the fire, but only
with light deck guns, chiefly one
Founders. 1t was the shot from these
guns that killed the captain of the
Crane, as also. the man Smith, ana
finally sunk the boat itself. The fir
ing continued for about twenty min
utes at distance well under half a
mile, the Kamchatka using her bow
guns and pegging away at the Aurora.
The fighting tops of both ships were
got into action very quickly, and from
these the trawlers were cannonaded.
Wherever the searchlight showed a
trawler, they fired at it. The Aurora
was the target at which the Kamchat-
ka fired, and received nineteen shells
in her middle section. Altogether,
before the firing was over, eleven men
were killed and nineteen wounded on
board the Aurora. The dead, with
the exception of the priest, were buried
at sea, some off the Goodwin sands,
others at Vigo. Three who died later
of their wounds were buried, at Tan
gier.
The weak point of the case before
the commission of inquiry was thai
there were no officers of the Aurora
present, as it would be interesting to
know what they could say and what
they did say at Vigo. There are two
of the Aurora's men in st. Petersburg
at present, though one of them is
wounded. The fact is that the two
ships got a night alarm and fired into
each other. This was the real origin
of the whole incident. This kind Of
mistake has occurred not infrequently
on land. but even those Russian Off
GERS who realize what actually happen
ed at the Dogger bank are for obvious
reasons loath to admit it.
