DYNAMITE SHIP
CROSSES OCEAN
Danish Bark Bonavista, Carry
ing Red Flag of Danger,
Narrowly Avoids Collision.
CAPTAIN TELLS HIS STORY
DEATH LuRkED IN WAKE OF
VESSEL.

New York. Aug. 5.-Voyaging here
from Hamburg with enough dynamite
and detonators in her hold to blow up
a squadron of warships, the rusty-sided
300-ton Danish bark Bonavista, with
the red flag of danger floating iazily
from her fore truck, pOked her brine
washed nose through the swash chan
mel today to anchorage in Gravesend
hay In the wake of a noisy harbor tug.
She had been forty-nine days on the
voyage, and a score of times had mar
rowly escaped being run down and TAX
ing her foe with her to kingdom come.
Had one of the great ocean liners,
close to which she had passed on her
run through the fog belt on the banks,
struck the tiny bark, nothing would
have been left of either vessel TO solve
the mystery of the disaster.
But there was nothing in the placid
faces of Captain Christensen and his
crew of five Swedish sailors as they
stood on the deck of their floating mine
today to tell of the awful dangers they
had faced I'm that long trip through
storms and Gains and fogs. In viola
ton of all precedent the crew stood on
the quarter deck with the captain
calmly smoking their pipes. the smoke
trailing over the stern. 1t was easy to
learn what caused this invasion of the
captains exclusive domain. The crew
cid not dare to smoke anywhere else
with the vessels swinging at anchor
for fear of sparks from their pipes, and
the captain suspended the rule for the
comfort of the men who had risked
their lives to bring over the dangerous
cargo of the Bonavista.
Securing the Gable.
We fiattened the ballast below and
put the dynamite OH top of it after We
had made a cushion for it to rest up
on" said Captain Christensen. I'VE
screwed the dynamite boxes TO planks
that rested on the ballast, then put in
brush wood and then another layer of
plankS and dynamite boxes.
The decorators were also secured so
that in case of collision they would not
strike any hard substance and be ex-
ploded.
But in spite of all this precaution l
would not have given much for any
vessel that Struck us during the trip,
and 1 do not like to think of how close
we came TO it off the banks. AS for
the bark, collision would have made
powder of US.
We wouldn't have sunk. We would
just have f1oated off like so much dust,
THE liners were not the only trouble.
We had to dodge through a great fleet
OF fishing craft, and | tell you my heart
was in my mouth at times. / knew
that barring collision we would come
through all right, for the dynamite was
slowed amidships and the danger was
minimiZed so long as We were careful.
My crew We're all picked men. Ny
course. as picked out on the chart, is
the most curious-looking worm you
ever saw
The dynamite will all be landed in
Gravesend on barges, for the Bona
vista was not allowed to pass through
the Narrows. Twenty-nine days OF the
forty -nine-day voyage was passed in
fog.

AGAINST LUMBER TARIFF.
Real Estate Association Takes Posi-
ton on Question.

The Ogden Real Estate Mems associa-
ton at a recent meeting sounded at least
one note that is likely to become a factor in
connection with the tariff question of the
country within a short time. For some
time the prices on lumber have been soar
ing skyward and this has caused much
comment Each investigation has brought
out one fact, which is that the supply OF
the United States is rapidly being ex-
hausted. Sooner or later the tariff must
be lowered so as to permit a supply from
other countries to relieve the situation
In view of this fact the real estate men
who have been investigating the situation
for some time have gone on record against
the high tariff on lumber.

THE SHAFT F.
An Accident at
The Tobacco
Plant.
NOT BADLY HURT

Charles Erickson, of 81 Fayette
street, boy employed by the Allen
Tobacco Company, fell down the ele-
vator shaft this morning, from the
top floor and escaped serious injury
in some mysterious manner. DR.. M.
>. Meinzer, of Madison avenue, was
called and treated the boy for few
cuts about his forehead and face.
Young Erickson, it seems, was ham
ding an empty case. He wanted to
take it from the top to the bottom
floor He opened the doors leading to
the elevator shaft and turned to pull
the case nearer the opening. AS he
did so he stepped backward and went
into the shaft
A number of the employees who saw
him fall called for help. The boy
could be seen at the bottom of the
shaft on the elevator and aid was at
once sent to him. The young fellow
was taken to his home where from all
reports he is getting along nicely.

BLACKSM|THS
CLOSE EARLY.
Will Begin Early in June and
Continue Until End of
September.
MOVEMENT is POPULAR.

1t is almost certain that all of the
blacksmith shops in this city will
close Saturday afternoons, commenc-
ing the first Saturday in June, until
the last Saturday in September. so
as to give the employers and employ
es a half holiday during the hot wea-
ther.
A canvass has been made of the
different shops and all but one own
er is willing to close at promptly IL
o'clock on the day mentioned, and the
committee has great hopes of bring
ing him over to the cause. The en-
ployes have been asked how they lik-
ed the new movement and they have
all agreed, if it is necessary, to work
an hour or so over time on Friday
nights.
During the summer months the
lumber dealers employees have half
holiday and it is always the case that
they bring a number of horses to
the blacksmith shops and the boss
and his helpers are kept on the move
for long hours. They think that this
work can as well be attended to Fri
day night or Saturday morning.

MRS. DUKE FIGHTS
DIVORCE DECREE

TRENTON, May 11.-Another
move in the famous Duke divorce
case was made yesterday when Mrs.
Lillian N. Duke, the accused wife,
filed in the court of chancery an ap-
peal from the decision of that court
which last week gave decree favor
able to her husband, James B. Duke
the millionaire tobacco manufacturer
in his proceedings against her.
The appeal was filed by Mrs,
Dukes counsel, Chauneey G. Parker
and was indorsed by Samuel Kalisch
to the effect that there are good
grounds for an appeal.
This action will carry the litiga-
tion to the court of errors and ap-
peals, where there will be reviewed
the testimony taken before Vice
Chancellor Pitney, who, in giving his
decision against Mrs. Duke, severely
scored both her and Frank Huntoon
the New York club man, who was
named as correspondent.

STRIKE HOLDS
UP FACTORIES.
Terra Gotta Plants Forced TO Lay
Off Men Because Of TrOu-
BILE in New York.

Because of the strike among me-
chanics in New York, orders have
been received at number of the To-
cal terra Gotta factories not to go
ahead with the work of making terra
Gotta for certain buildings, and as a
result number of men hav been laid
off and others hav received word that
they will be laid off tomorrow night
until further orders.
AT all of the terra Gotta factories
work is plentiful, but because of the
strike the owners and contractors on
new buildings in New York and
Brooklyn have no place to store the
terra Gotta and as they cannot go
ahead with the work, they think it
best to hold the jobs at the factories.
From all reports the strike will not
last much longer so the local terra
Gotta workers hope that the. lay off
will be only for a short time.

HOPE TO END THE
STRUGGLE TONIGHT.
Bosses To Meet
To Discuss
Matter.
THE QUESTION.

With the timers and plumbers
back to work and only the carpenters
out on a strike, it is the hope of the
different bosses throughout the city
that at the meeting of the Building
Trades Association in the Dana to-
night, an agreement of some sort
will be reached with the strikers so
that the work in this city can again
go forward.
The timers asked for So. so and
received 3712, while the plumb
ers wanted 81 per day, and settled
for SO. ST 1a. The carpenters and
joiners demand $3.50 cents day
or forty-two cents AN hour, and the
bosses have offered them forty-one
cents an hour
One thing both the bosses and
strikers seem to think certain, and
that is, that the meeting tonight will
see the end of all the trouble, one
way or the other. Nearly every car
penter and joiner in this city is now
at work, and the only ones in town
are those on the strike committee
They have had offers of work, but
cannot take job until the trouble
has been entirely settled.
AS told in the NEWS yesterday, a
number of house owners will wait un-
til after the meeting tonight and II
the battle is not ended they will start
men to work tomorrow themselves.

Those Who Agree
To Give Up
Stamps.
ARE ON RECORD.
Meeting Held in Columbia Hall
Last Night at Which The Mat
ter Was Thoroughly Discuss
ed---ResoIutiOns Adopted
The Stand Taken.

What some merchants believe is
the death knell of the cooperation
of the merchants of this city with
the trading stamp companies, was
sounded last nigh at mass meeting
of the merchants at Columbia hail.
at which resolutions were adopted to
cease giving stamps after May 49,.
More than two score merchants sign
ed the resolutions and many others
who have been, and are being, waited
upon by those active in the anti
stamp movement, have given their
unqualified support to the agitation
and will join. in giving up the stamp
distribution. Placards announcing
the cessation of stamp-giving on next
Wednesday were posted in the store
windows this morning.
The discussion at last nights meet
ing waxed very warm at times and ev-
cry phase of the stamp system was
carefully gone over. 1t was asserted
by opponents of the system that the
stamp companies have broken their
agreements with many merchants by
not giving premiums of the value
promised. In no case, it was declar-
ed, has there been given a present
worth as much as dollar for one
book of stamps and that the stamp
companies have been humbugging
those who have had stamps. Mer-
trades who have discontinued the
stamp giving said that their business
has increased instead of diminished
since the change, which would indi-
cate that the people at large are not
friendly to the trading stamps.
Frank Hilsdorf was chairman of
the meeting and ]. L.. Klein, secre-
tary. The action was concerted as
the merchants represented numerous
branches of retail business. The
meeting was adjourned at the call of
the chair.
Greenspan Brothers said that they
could hardly discontinue the stamp
agreement with the Elk Trading
Stamp Company, which will not ex-
pire until July next, and a penalty
is attached for violation of the agree
ment. The merchants present offer
ed to indemnify the Greenspans for
the penalty If they would give up the
stamps now, and nearly enough was
subscribed on the spot to cover the
penalty. Mr. Greenspan said, how
ever, that he did not want to accept
their offer, but he signed an agree
ment to discontinue the stamp-giv-
ing after July 6, when his agreement
with the stamp company runs out.
The resolutions adopted were as
follows:

Amboy realize that the time has ar
