NEW YORK, June 1s.-with her
bands playing. pennants flying and
greeted by salutes from every craft IN
the harbor. the new giant Of the seas.
the Hamburg-American liner. Impera-
tor, steamed up the bay and docked at
Hoboken today. The deep bass whistles
and sirens OF the Imperator beloved a
reply to the shrieking welcome Of small
er boats and tugs which appeared as
vaterbugs beside the leviathan.
All the way up the bay tugs hovered
near the Imperator. 1t was not believed
they would be needed, but no chances
were taken. Between Tompkinsville
and Liberty Island there Is but 500
feet steerage way in the channel, and
this was considered the most dangerous
place for the liner to pass. Because
of the size of the new boat the roof
of the Hamburg-American pier has been
opened and elevated stages built so her
raneplanks may be lowered.
The Imperator left Cherbourg June IL
and averaged twenty-five knots an hour
on her maiden voyage. on Quarantine

PLATE PRINTERS TO
REGISTER PROTEST
will Go on Record, at Mass
Meeting Tonight, Against
Laying OFF Of Men.

TWO mass meetings of the plate
printers employed at the Bureau of En-
craving will be held in Pythian Tenn
pie. 1ol2 Ninth street northwest, to-
night to protest against the action
OF Director Joseph E. Ralph in laying
on twenty-five Of their number. The
first meeting will be called at O'Clock.
and Will be attended by the members
OF the day force. The meeting for the
night workers will be called at mid
night.
The dual gatherings are to be held
under the auspices of the executive
league Of the Plate Printers Union, of
which G. ]. Cleary is chairman. w. D.
Clark. president of the Washington
local of the plate printers; Charles l..
Smith. editor Of the official publication
Of the union; p. ]. Ryan. 8. e. veach,
Thomas Lavender, James Hassett, M.
e. Gully. and James T. Thompson will
be among the prominent members of the
trade who will appear.
The protest is not directed solely
towards Director Ralph's order, but,
rather. against his refusal to pursue
the plan suggested by the printers. This
plan was that twenty-five plate printers
be given furloughs without pay for q
certain length Of time, at the expira-
ton Of which they would retui n to
work and another twenty-five take sim
liar furloughs. Such q plan would have
prevented the necessity Of dismissins
any Of the men Indefinitely.
The fact that these dismissais are to
be made without prejudice" 30 that
any Of the men may re-enter the service
Of the Government within q year with
out another examination, should an op-
portuuity present itself. fails to moIlify
the men, who feel that a different policy
might have been pursued without dctri-
ment to the Government.

CUSTOMS OFFICERS
LOSE EASY MONEY
Government Will Print Blanks
for importers and Export
ers, McAdoo Orders.

BY an order sent to the Customs Serv-
ice today. announcing that the Govern
n,ent will supply customs blanks for
importers and exporters, Secretary Nc
Adoo has put an end to one of the
greatest perquisites of collectors of Gus
toms and their deputies. These officials
I've been making thousands of dollars
through this legitimate and authorized
graft" At some of the ports it equal
;y the collectors salary. The rake
off, in the port of New York was esti-
mated at $500 a year.
Collectors have had printed entry,
warehouse, and all other blank forms
for customs business and have sold
them at from l cent to 10 cents each.
The Government will distribute them
at / cent each. All blanks will be print
ed at the Government Printing Office.
Importers and exporters may furnish
their own blanks. provided they meet
the Treasury requirements. But with
the Government furnishing them at ]
cent each, Uncle Sam will undoubtedly
do most of the printing.

Alfred Vail was entitled to far more
credit so far as the commercial prac-
ticability of Professor Morse's inven-
ton was concerned than had been
given to him.
For instance said |, 1.-THE late
General Thomas r. Eckert, who, dur
ing war days. was conspicuously en-
ployed as chief telegrapher In the war
department at Washington, and who
afterward became president of one of
the great telegraph companies, once
told me that Alfred Vail, and not Pro
fessor Morse, was the inventor of the
dot-and- symbols which made the
Morse telegraph instrument CONNER
cially practicable"
President Vail did not reply directly
to this remark "There has recently
come to light a large number of let
tiers, documents and records which,
terest, since they tell of the electric
telegraph, and the easy building of
the telegraph plants" he said.
These letters and other documents
are to DO thoroughly edited and pre-
pared, although | do not know wheth-
er they will be published for general
circulation or not. They may be
filed for private circulation.

some of these letters are ! viii TEL
you from memory what one of them

just after the completion of the tele-
graph line from Baltimore to New
York. You doubtless know that the
first telegraph line was built from
Baltimore to Washington. Alfred
Vail sent from Baltimore the first
message and Professor Morse re
ceived 1t at Washinet ton. The success
of that demonstration made it posi-
bile to secure the capital needed for
the extension of the line from Balti-
more to New York

months after the New York and
Washington line by way of Bal1-
more had been opened for business
When | reflect upon the magnitude

few years after this line was opened,
