.SEAMEN DECEIVED BY
ENGLISH SH|PMASTERS
Consul at Southampton Tells
How Many Americans Are
Stranded Abroad.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor is sending circulars to United
States shipping commissioners at all
the large ports on the Atlantic coast.
containing extracts from the report of
the American consul at Southampton.
England. warning American seamen
not to be induced by m:srepresenta-
lions of shipping masters as to the
ease with which vessels can be had on
which to ship to return home. to shil
on foreign bound vessels. 1t is stated
that trouble awaits the American who
ships on foreign vessels at ports in the
United States for a trip across the
Atlantic The consul at Southampton
says
The great burden of the work of
the consulate is found in connection
with the care of the large number OF
distressed American Seamen. Men are
signed in American ports on English
ships to fill vacancies caused by de-
sertions of British seamen seeking q
better job in the states. These men
are told that they can get a ship back
to the same port almost Immediately
on discharge at the arriving port.
They are discharged with but a few
dollars in pocket and then they find
that they are not wanted on English
ships, and so go on the tramp. They
turn up at Southampton almost bare
foot, ragged, more than half starved
and in a wretched condition. All these
men should know that no American
discharges receive the recognition of
the English Board of Trade in filling
up crews on English ships, nor will
those known as the 'half-one voyage.
When they land in English ports and
are paid off they are .on the beach,
and they had much better pound rock
at home than take such journeys. Es-
pecially should this be impressed -on
colored sailormen. For them there is
no room on any outgoing ship of any
flag, and on them fall unavoidably. SO
far as they are concerned. hardships of
the most trying nature. They get over
on cotton carriers some lumber
laden ships and find themselves at
once among the despised and rejected
and places given to others far below
them in sea efficiency and in steady,
accompanying service

MAY CUT DRUG PRICES.
Justice Barnard Upholds 0'Donnell
REGARDING Patent Medicines.

A decision said to be Of nation wide in
terest to wholesale and retail druggists
in regard to the cutting of prices Of
patent medicines has been made by JUS
tice Barnard in the District Supreme
Court, in refusing to grant an injunction
against James O'Donnell. a druggist at
9O4 F street northwest, against selling a
patent medicine lower than the price fixed
by the manufacturer
In answer to the petition OF the manu-
featuring and jobbing interests to have
Mr.. ODonnell restrained from selling the
medicine below their fixed price. the re-
spondent declared the medicine was his
own to sell at any price he might ask or
to give it away at his discretion. Attor-
neys Baker. Sheehan & Hogan, O'Don-
nells attorneys, charge the manufacture
ers and jobbers with violation Of the anti
trust laws in endeavoring to maintain a
fixed high price for their product against
public policy and in restraint Of trade, H.
legal and unenforcible.
The question of selling drugs at cut
prices has long been q mooted one, and
the case here against the Washingto or
druggist is said to be OF much interest to
dealers all over the country.

Of Columbia, asking the court TO direct,
by writ of mandamus to the Secretary

gust H. 1893, he is entitled. under section

act of May 3D. 1905, TO be retired as ar

pie means of securing laws which iegis-

A. to the recall of judges Senator
Bourne said he saw no reason why "a
man who occupies a judicial position
should be governed by laws and standards
of public service different from those
which apply to legislative or executive
officers. A judge who will listen to pop

Serve Veterans Big Dinner.

All the old veterans are cared for by
the committee in charge of the reunion
while others have to buy their own
dinners and lunches. Several large and
fat beeves were killed. quartered and
roasted for the veterans, and scores of
young chickens, bushels of roasting
ears, hundreds of eggs, potatoes almost
without number, large apple pies. cakes,
rolls, biscuits, pickles lemonade and
numerous other eatables were supplied
free of all charge to the veterans of
either army.
On the reunion grounds were erected
a large number of cabins, Some Of which
had been engaged for weeks in advance
by former residents of Shenandoah who
always come back to their old homes
IN time to hold family reunions at
Fishers Hill. Some Of these people came
from the middle west. and one man
came all the way from Fort Worth, Tex.
The attendance of veterans was not
as large as that of last year. and it will
be smaller when the reunion o. 1912 is
held on account of so many answering
the last roll call. Several Of the speakers
soldiers who left the grounds late
this afternoon remarked that 1t would
probably be the last reunion they would
attend on the historic battlefield.
Josiah Stickney, commander of Slower
Camp, was chairman OF the reunion
committee, and was given a vote of
thanks for his untring efforts to make
the occasion a success.
