helm to Compete.

KEEL. July 21-In an unohicial way
the kaiser has allowed 1t to be understood
that there Is quite a possibility of his at
tempting to lift the America cup.
The emperor has mentioned the subject
to visiting American yachtsmen and to
members Of his suite. and he would regard
the winning Of the cup, If a competition
could be arranged as a great feat Of
craftsmanship and as likely to stimulate
German enthusiasm In the sport and in
directly advance national pride In things
related to the sea.
The emperor recently commissioned Herr
Oertz of Hamburg to design a large rae
ing schooner to replace the American
built Meteor. now six years old. Herr Oertz
is considered the best yacht designer in
Germany.
II tn emperor's new yacht comes up to
expectations next June it Is not at all
unlikely that the emperor will send to the
New York Yacht Club a challenge for tho
America cup. This, however. depends al
most entirely upon The performance Of the
now boat.
NEW YORK. July 21.-The Kiel dis
patch conveying the intimation that the
Emperor Of Germany az contemplating
challenging foe the America cup was read
with interest by members Of the New
York Yacht Club The suggestion OF a
received with the greatest satisfaction.
An International yacht race with a Ger
man yacht at Sandy Hook and the Ger
man emperor the challenger would mark
an interesting period In yachting It Is
believed. however that the club will un-
der no circumstances accept q challenge
for the America cup under the 'interna-
tional rules"

conference with States Attorney Keat-
ing OF Queen Anne county. Maryland,
Detective r. ]. Dick of Baltimore has
closed his Investigations into the death
OF william Williams. the Marydel far

eide.
Before returning to Baltimore Detec-
tive Dick stated that despite the testi-
mony OF the physicians that Williams'
death was due to blows on the head,
producing blood clots on the brain he il
inclined to the theory that the man had
committed suicide. He added that he
would incline to this theory until the
body was exhumed and a different theory
made plausible by thorough examina-
ton.

cided whether Or not he will order the

Fast Mail Train.

he Is Caught as He Starts to Roll
Of Car After Being Struck
in Tunnel.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Four men who
stole ride from Syracuse to this city on
a fast mail train have arrived here
after an experience that none of them
will forget in a hurry. One of them.
man known as Murphy, was lifted
from the roof of a car when the train
drew in at the Grand Central station
and taken to Flower Hospital, suffering
from fractured skull. The other three
were held for stealing ride.
They declare the only reason why they
came into this city in that fashion was
because they had not the money to ride
in q coach: that they were all down on
their luck, and came here seeking EN-
ployment. Syracuse having nothing to
offer them.
Murphys companions were John Coon
ley, Michael Mara and George McCor-
mick. Murphy's home Is in Midland, On
tario.
On Perilous Perch.
Fast mail No. 80. on which the quartet
elected to take their ride, is constructs ed
SO as to prevent any one from riding on
on top of one Of the cars. bracing their
far away from the edges of the roof as
they could.
Their position was none too secure at
best. When the train whirled around q
curve 1t was perilous.. The only way
they kept themselves from toboSganing
off at such times was by keeping a dss-
perate grip on the ventilators. which
projected about foot above the car roof
When the hanging cords slapped them to
tell them that they were near a bridge
they lay fiat on the car, clinging to the
smooth, slippery roof like SO many
leeches.
1t was pitch dark when the mail train
shot into the greater gloom Of the tunnel
at 96th street early this morning. The
men lay fiat for what seemed to them an
interminable time. At Goth street Muir
ply, looking up. saw q patch Of starlit
had been reached. He sat Bolt upright.
Companions Save Him.
1t was not the end Of the tunnel. but a
ventilating hole. In another instant his
head struck projecting girder with
frightful force. The roar OF the train
filled all the tunnel so that the mans cry
was drowned. The other three saw him
fall back. however. and start rolling of
the roof.
Holding fast to the ventilators with one
hand. they reached out with the other
and caught him at the edge Of the roof
There they held him, literally hanging
over the side Of the car. from 58th street
to AID street
Although the men knew they would
probably be detained for riding on the
car, they refused to desert Murphy, and
remained with him until they saw him
they were taken to the East 51st street
station.

steerage rates from New York to
Mediterranean ports.
The reduced rates include the Ital-
ian and all other Mediterranean ports
and are lower than at any time in
years. The low rates will undoubtedly
result in an even larger outward move

Mediterranean ports than has been

KING CRITICISED
FOR BEING AWAY
EDWARD SHOULD NOT HAVE LEFT
ENGLAND IN THE CRISIS,
SAY PAPERS.

LONDON, April 6.-Herbert H. AS.
quith, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, who has been summoned by
King Edward to Biarritz, crossed by
the night boat from Dover to Calais
tonight, en- route to that place. The
Kings absence at time when it was
foreseen that Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman's illness must lead almost
inevitably to a Cabinet crisis provokes
criticism in the English papers. There
has been a rumor that the King would
return to London on Saturday next,
but this is very doubtful.
In his letter OF resignation to the
King Sir Henry advised his majesty
to summon Mr.. Asquith. The latter,
in point of fact, has no rival for the
leadership of his party and the Gov
eminent His accession to the pre-
will undoubtedly sooner or
later lead to sweeping changes in the
of 'the late Ministry, but
in the unprecedented circumstance of
the British Premier resigning during |
an important session of Parliament it |
S quite possible that the new Pre-
nier will content himself with the alb
'olute necessary changes.
