Twenty Thousand
CoaStWiSe Seamen
Threaten a Strike

NEW YORK, June 15.-Twenty thou
sand coastwise seamen threaten to
strike at this port tomorrow unless
their employers grant their demands
for higher wages and better conditions.
They have filed their ultimatum, giving
the companies until tomorrow TO de-
eide.
Vice President H. H. Griffiin. of the
Interna tional Seamen's Union Of Amer
ica, said today that the question of a
general strike by the coastwise sea-
men was up to the companies.
THE coastwise men," he said, want
rates of pay for overtime. as we'll as
better living quarters"
The international strike Of seamen,
which began Yesterday at foreign ports,
WILL not affect this side Of the Atlantic.
None Of the ocean liners scheduled to
said today, tomorrow, or Saturday
will be delayed.
Announcement is made by Matthew
Tearle. secretary for America of the
National Seamen's and Firemen's Union

American and North German Lloyd
lines have signed the agreement for
higher wages, and that the American
line is paving the scale. The American
line demands medical examination, but
It is said this question will be speedily
adjusted.
The men of the other lines have been
ordered by ]. Havelock Wilson, general
president of the National Seamen's and
Firemen's Union, 20 return to the other
side in compliance with the contract
signed by them.

HAPPY WITH BRIDE,
REPRESENTATIVE IS
TO QUIT CONGRESS
Texan and His Secretary
Wife want Only to Be
Let Alone.

In the seclusion of a bungalow on
Bunker Hill road, Representative Mar
tin Dies, and his bride Of three, six or
eleven months-there are conflicting sto-
ries as to when the happy marriage
event took place-are merely asking to
be let alone today, while Mr.. Dies says
that he is soon to retire from public
life any way, and that he can attend
to his Congressional duties at MI. Ra-
nier as we'll as at the House Office
Building.
Why does the public care If the Texas
Representative married Miss GeneVleVe
Miller, his secretary, and why may not
couple spend a honeymoon In Mt.
Rainier instead of in stuffy Washing
ton fiat? ask Mr.. and Mrs. Dies,
about March"
Mr.. Dies says he was married in Bal
timore about the first OF March" Rep
resentative Garner of Texas remembers
that his colleague showed him mar
riage certificate about that time which
certified that Mr.. Dies, after his first
unfortunate matrimonial experience, had
found the "one woman in Miss Miller.
Father Miller, a messenger in the
House post office, said that it seemed
to him that the couple had been mar
ried for eleven months. The Baltimore
records, however, show that Henry NJ.
Dies was married to Florence n. Hoov-
er by the Rev. David Neely. on Decem-
Der 27.
Here is Mr.. Dies earnest plea that he
and his bride shall be let alone by
those who would rudely intrude upon a
second honeymoon:
It's a fact that We are still drawing
salaries from Uncle Sam, as a Repre-
sentative and my wife as a Represen-
tatives secretary, just as We drew sala-
ries before We were married. do not
see anything wrong in that. Many 9TH
ers do it! 1 do not see any harm in Nv
ing under the name of Davis, instead
of Dies, II We care to do so.
Cheaper Living.
II bought this place and intended to
quit Congress. l am a poor man and 1
have tired Of public life. 1t is cheaper
to live here than 1t is in Washington,
and We preferred to get away from the
notoriety that would follow Il public
marriage.
My former wife and 1 were uncon-
genial" the Congressman added. We
separated. I had saved $4,000. let
her divorce me and gave her every
nickel Of the money that had earned
by hard knocks. I then married the
woman l love; nothing can separate US.
Wen live where We please and how we
please, and we think 1t is no Cne's af-
fairs.
Il stIn have a farm in Texas Some
day we'll go back and we'll live hap
PLY there-yes, very happily. 1 can
farm II have to. and Mrs. Dies can
cook IL she has to. Now, you have the
whole story

HELD FOR LUNACY,
BLAMES VAMPIRE"
FOR HIS TROUBLES
C. S. Steele Tells Jury "Vi-
cious, Vain Woman" Exerts
Evil Influence Over Him.

Blaming a mysterious vampire,
vicious, vain woman, with the face OF
an angel and heart of iend," for his
plight, Charles s. Steele, aged sixty
three years, a warrant clerk in the
Treasury Department, is fighting for lib
erty from the Government Hospital for
Insane this afternoon in Criminal Court
No. 2. for the third time.
Dr. D. Percy Hickling testified to the
jury trying Steele this afternoon that
Steele is the victim of alcohol, Insane
without doubt, and should receive treat
ment at st. Elizabeth's. Steele's daugh-
ter told the jury of her fathers alleged
insane actions and of his statements re-
garding the influence of the vampire.
Last week Steele caused jury to dis
agree as to his sanity by a dramatic
plea, declaring he could and would ab-
stain from alcohol in the future. Last
January Steele was acquitted of insan-
ity by a jury before Chief Justice Ga
baugh by making a similar defense.
Attorney James F. Kelly is defending
Steele and Attorney Wilton ]. Lambert
represents SteeTs relatives in their ef-
fort to have him treated at the asylum.
