NOT SPYING ON AMERICAN FLEET
Italian Captain Charged with Violating Naval Eti-
 quette Quite Indignant
GAVE CUSTOMARY SALUTE
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Baltimore, Sept. 3.-Charged with violating naval etiquette by lingering near the United States fleet at target practice off Cape Henry. Captain Bag gio, commander of the Italian train ing ship Etna, now at anchor in the harbor. makes the assertion that had the Americans not been so tardy lin answering his salute. there would have been no necessity for him to, ex- tend almost to the breaking point the international courtesy that obliges a ity while the other craft is given an opportunity to make the return salute.
 Captain Baggio, in an interview with a representative of the United Press to-day, stated enlphaticaaly that while it was true that he did ships he was in duty bound to see that his salute was answered. He de- clared that when he fired his guns he anticipated a quick response and steamed along but not getting it and appreciating that the Americans may y have been taken unawares, with #the saluting ammunition not convenient he slowed down and then hove to. When he heard the return salute he steamed on.
 VI am indignant TnaI Sucn a. Hlatter has been given publication and I am surprised at the developments. As we reached the first ship in the line we gave the customary salute, but at the same time we did not know whether the fleet was at practice. Then later when we found that it was it was too late for us to change our course and we kept on passing ship after ship. In the meantime our salute had not been answered and we slowed down, pass ing between the ships and the tar gets While we were passisng by the fleet practically every man on my ves- sed was on deck and those who had glassess no doubt used them to look at the beautiful fighting craft around us; but as to ou- spying upon them to ascertain any of their secrets, why, that is ridiculous"

Special from United Press.)

New York.

saraoen's Head Tavern.

The Saracen's Head, Snow Hill now closed reached back to respectable antiquity. In Dick Tarlton's Jests" it is referred to as "the Saracen's Head without Newgate," and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re
 ceipt of travellers which "hath to sign the Sarazen's Head.' Its pre- eminent interest, however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given a vivid description of the old inn as it was when Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there the master of Dotheboys Hall. There are various accounts of the origin of the sign Of the Saracen's Head One is that it was set up as a compliment to the mother of Thomas a Becket, who was the daughter of a, Saracen. In Selden's Table Talk we read, When our countrymen came home from fighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge, big, terrible faces, as you still see the sign of the Saracen's Head is."-London Chronicle
