considerable notoriety through her at
tempt to have Col. Roosevelt arrested for
conspiracy. to the psychopathic ward at
Bellevue Hospital for examination as to
her mental condition. She said she would
appeal to the Emperor of Germany for
protection.
Mrs. Won Claussen's commitment to
Bellevue resulted from a telegram she
sent to Justice Greenbaum in the supreme
court Monday, during the trial of her
action for divorce against Dr. William F..
Honan, in which she said:
Justice. and liberty is all ask. II
foul play marks your reason God help
YOU"
1908. but commended that she was not a
legal resident of that state, and wanted
the verdict set aside so that she could
sue for divorce here.
When called to the stand Yesterday
she said in explanation of her conduct
before Justice Greenbaum:
Hoped to End Troubles.
Il expected the divorce suit to be the
elimination of my legal troubles. l have
had seven other lawyers, and Mr. Robin
son is the only one who could get me
into court. Justice Greenbaum took per-
sonal issue with me rather than make a
supreme court decision. l am fighting
for a divorce and for the custody of my
child. and also for chance to remarry.''
When Magistrate Herbert announced
his intention of sending her to Bellevue
she exclaimed:
What are you doing? Iou are taking
my reputation from me. will COM
municate with the German emperor and
you will find that you are handling fire. -
They will examine you at Bellevue
and give you some good advice. said the
magistrate.
How can any one examine me and

GOOD LUCK OF WHALER.
Gets Lump of Ambergris Worth
$50. 900 From Whale.

The whaling industry of the United
States, which had fallen off greatly in
recent years. is being revived, and the
success of the New Bedford brig Viola
Capt. John A. Cook, will give a big
impetus to the business. The Viola
sailed from New Bedford the last OF
June, 1910, on her maiden cruise. Re-
Gently she put into the Azores with
1,57O barrels of oil aboard, from whale
taken on the Atlantic whaling grounds
in fourteen months.
The returns from this cruise of the
vessel, even at the low price at which
oil is now selling, will more than pay
the owners her entire cost. equipped
and ready for sea. The ship. it is
stated, from June, 1910. to September
80, 1911, took sperm whales enough to
give 1886 gallons of oil. which sold
on the market for $24,727.50. and in
addition to this. from one of the whales
a lump of ambergris was taken which
sold for $4,000. AS the original cost
of the vessel was about $4,000. she
has considerably more than paid her
cost in one voyage. This, however, does
not happen to every whaling ship.

1t has been found necessary to rebuild
more than half of the hull. so badly
broken were the timbers, and while this
was being done considerable change has
been made In the vessel by putting a
high pilot house and deckhouse on her.
When completed the Culprit Fay will be
a roomy craft and will be most COM

that considerable damage in addition to

SHIPMENT OF FERTILIZERS.
Large Quantities Being Consigned ia
Farmers Down the River.

Fertilizer material in large quantities.
which is being taken down the river by
the steamboats, and sailing vessels Is
consigned to farmers at river points for
use on lands that will be used in growing
crops for the market here. From Alex
andria and this city sailing vessels are
leaving almost daily with the material
aboard. and the steamers from Balti-
more are bringing it from that point by
the hundreds of bags. and aare transfer
ring Ii to the river line steamers to be
taken to its destination at wharves on
both sides of the river. This movement
of fertilizer makes up large portion of
the freight handled by the river steamers
in the fall months, and the shipment Of
it will continue until about the first of
the year. In past years it has been neces-
sary for the steamboats, to make extra
trips TO handle the stuff. and as the ship
ments are running heavy ii is more than
probable that this will have to be done
this fall.

LAUNCHES IN OYSTER TRADE.
Use of Power-Equipped Craft Likely
to Become General.

The use of power boats in running oys-
tiers from the beds in the lower Potomac
to this city is on the increase. and it is
predicted the day is not far distant when
the bulk of this service will be performed
by power-equipped craft. One or two large
launches We're used in the oyster-runnine
business last season, but this, year there
are already half dozen in the trade
and others are to enter it as the sea-
son advances.
During the summer months these boats
are used for pleasure purposes on the
lower Potomac. and after the summer
season is over all their fancy trimmings
are removed and replaced with plain
planking and aboard the changed boats

the oysters are dumped They carry from
two to three hundred bushels EACH and
the advantage they have over the larger
boats is that they can quickly dispose
of small cargoes and are away and back
again in a short time with another cargo
fresh from the salt water.
Many of the schooners and bugeyes
employed in oyster-running work are
also equipped with power engines that
make them Independent of tide and
weather and enable them to make quick
trips.
IL is estimated that more than half
the vessels bringing oysters to the mar
ket here this season are equipped with
gasoline engines for propelling purposes.

Several hundred physicians and their
families. members of the Association of
Seaboard Air Line Railway Surgeons, will
attend the convention of the organization
to be held at the Ebbitt House Tuesday
and Wednesday next. The members will
come from nearly every town along the
seaboard line from here to Florida
wide variety of papers will be read
and several interesting questions will be
discussed.
While many of the papers which have
already been announced are technical.
there are several in which the travelling
public would take a lively interest. One
of these papers has to do with the exami-
nation of railway employees in system
attic and scientific way by competent
physicians In speaking Of this, DR..
Joseph NJ. Burke, chief surgeon of the
Seaboard. said today:
ut is necessary, I believe. to subject
all railway men to a strict medical exami-
nation. Take the single instance Of a
railway engineer. A large proportion of
engineers have Bright's disease and don t
know it. Suppose an engineer is stricken
in his cab and runs by a red light. The
consequence would be awful. That is a
single instance to show the need for a
strict examination.
To Discuss Pellagra.
Pellagra, which is of great interest to
physicians in the south at this time, will
be discussed in a paper by Surgeon S. b.
Little of Colbert. Ga, who has prepared
discourse based on two interesting
cases under his observation.
