Trunks Taken from Vessel Before
Passenger Decides She Will
Make the Voyage

NEW YORK, June because of
the traditional right of a woman to
change her mind the steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm II was delayed many minutes
yesterday in sailing for Europe.
The Misses Julia and Georgia Car
son of Pittsburg had booked passage
and early yesterday Miss Julia de-
clared she was indisposed and would
not sail. Their trunks had then been
sent aboard and Miss Georgia went to
the pier a few minutes before sailing
time and ordered the trunks taken
from the ship.
After four of them had been taken
off it was discovered that the fifth
was in the hold and this trunk con-
tanned about $4,000 worth of jewelry.
The captain ordered the hold opened,
and the sailing time of the vessel had
passed when Miss Julia Carson arrived
in a taxicab and announced that she
had again changed her mind and would
sail on the ship.
The sisters went aboard and several
minutes more were lost in putting the
trunks back on the vessel.

the merits of these preparations are

made by persons who, approaching the
relief they have obtained from the
use of the medicines, feel that they
are discharging a sacred obligation by
relating their experience for the bene-

and who may thereby be inspired to
