1t was in no way beneath her dignity.
Her imperious air as she quietly left the

the naughty demeanor of an empress

done before her, to commit crime.
However. she went away, and the dark

GERMANY EAGER
TO ATTACK u. S.
Government Behind Press At
tacks Over Split Pea Tar
iff Is Belief.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-American
officials both in the treasury and state
departments are considerably exas-
perated over the blasts from the Ger
man press regarding the tariff laid
on split peas and othed cereals i'm
ported from Germany. These officials
say that the German press has abso-
lUtely no grounds for its charges that
the United States government is
trying to discriminate against Ger
many and that this government is
endeavoring to stir up a tariff war
with that country.
The fact is that upon representa-
tions made by a member of Con-
gress whose constituents in Michigan
are interested in the split pea indus
try. the treasury department made
an investigation into the conditions
under which Germany was exporting
split peas to this country. 1t was
found hat Germany was giving a
bounty, practically, on split peas sent
to the United States. BY a provision
of the American tariff laws for many
years, whenever it is found hat any
article is exported to the United
States upon which a bounty is paid
by the exporting government, the
tariff on that article must be raised
by the amount of the bounty. This,
it is declared. is what WAS done in
the Ease of the German split peas.
The amount of the bounty and re-
sultant ate is said to be very small
and the value of split peas exported
annually likewise insignificant.
1t is the conviction here thai the
German government is aiding and
ahetting in the unjust and
BILE attacks of its press upon the
United states.

MOTORDOAT BUILT
BY FIRE ladies
Between Alarms Craft Grew
Until 1t TOOK Water"
Today.

Between taps of the fire gong the
members of Engine Company No. %,
at New and Golden streets, under
Captain Emil Lueddeke, have COM
pleted the construction of a fishing
and pleasure boat after two years
work.
The boat was launched and christ
ened today. 1t is a thirty-three-foot
cabin launch with eight-foot beam
and was earted from the lot adjacent
to the engine house to the canal at
Golden street, where the firemen cele-
brated the launching with "appropri-
ate exercises
The boat was christened the "Doro-
thy L." by Dorothy L. Lueddeke, the
5-year-old daughter of Captain Lued-
deke. A bottle of dutch brew was
broken owe the prov, that being the
captains favorite.
The boat will comfortably bunk"
nine persons and can be equipped for
a two months cruise. The entire
work was done by the fremen of En-
CINE Company No. %. Nearly 5000
copper rivets were used in the con-
struction and, according to the boys
of the department, lone mar did as
much as the other.n When the firebell
sounded they dropped their hammers
and saws and ran. After the fire"
they would resume their work on the
Dorothy L."
The boat is equipped with a 15-20-
horsepower Eagle engine and has
modern and convenient appliances,
many of which have been installed
through the ingenuity of Captain
Lueddeke. There never was a boat
laid out like the Dorothy i. Entire
control of every part of the engine
is brought to the pilot wheel so n a
one man can operate both engine and
wheel and control every department
at the same time. Its operation is
not unlike the operation of
an automobile.
A low model has been followed in
the construction in order to add
steadiness in rough weather. The
boat is absolutely seaworthy n is
arranged so the cabin a be en-
closed during a storm.
After spending two years of their
odd moments on the work of build
ing the boat the firemen felt proud,
as she gracefully stuck her PROV IN
the waters of the canal today.
Captain Lueddeke leaves on his
vacation next Monday, and will take
his family on a pleasure trip down
the Jersey shore to Barnegat.
After the captains out three
said one of the fire ladies,
'there1l be no weakish left in Jer-
waters"
The boat will be run under it's own

sale. The boys of No. %, who had a
in the building of the boat, are
Lieutenant Thomas Rock, Patrick

The passengers. man. of whom
were returning from their summer
vacations, though the great number
were excursionists, were budding to-
setber in the saloons out of the BIT
terly cold wind which had driven
thero from the decks. >
When it became known that the
steamer had broken down and wonld
not be able to proceed before
al the earliest many of h passen-
gers became panic-stricken. The OIL
GERS did their best to allay all fears
but only with partial success.
The demand that the boats be low
cred was so insistent that in order
to. avoid the dangers of the growing
CONSERVATION the boats were run u
and manned. By this time several
women were hysterical with terror.
Seventy -four passengers were taken
off in the boats and brought ashore.
Few of the women who came off had
wraps and nj brought with them
from the ship any of their belongings
except those they were wearing.
