HOW TO AVOID DISEASE.
Vienna Physician Gives Some Point
ers on Acknowledgements.
Correspondence of The Star.

Hofeisn correspondence OF he Star.
VIENNA, May g.
Lecturing on arterio- chlerosis which he
termed the Damocies sword suspended
over the heads Of all. Privy Councillor
Prof. Adolf Won Struempell, the eminent
physician and psychologist, gave some
valuable suggestions as to how this dread
disease might be avoided.
Most important it is, he said. to begin
in time and carefully refrain from every
thing known to be injurious to the
arterial system, such as over-p physical
strain. free indulgence in rich foods. alco-
hol and tobacco, especially the latter.
For while 1t was difficult to tell pre-
cisely what il-effects alcohol exerted on
the blood cells. 1t was plainly evident that
nicotine was much more Injurious. With
arterio-sclerosis patients from the ORR
ent. where immoderate cigarette smoking
prevails. nicotine was the chief criminal.
As for tea and coffee, there was much
less to be said. Strong black coffee cer-
tainly did produce nervous affections OF
the heart, hut 1t had little effect upon
the arteries. and tea was injurious only
in isolated cases.

BY CHINESE PIRATES
Passengers and Crew Forced
to Give Up Money and
JeWeIry.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON. May Il, 1913.
A thrilling story of the recent capture
by Chinese pirates of British steamer
is told by Capt III. H. Sandman, the
agent Of the Imeprial Merchant Service
Guild at Hongkong.
The steamer was the Tai On. owned by
a firm of Hongkong merchants and ny

in Capsimun pass by the steamer Heung-

rates. medical assistance urgently re-

Some sixty Chinese pirates joined the
Tai On as passengers before she LETT
Hongkong. There were about 400 passen-
gers on board. and the pirates mingled
with these until the vessel steamed out
side the protectorate waters of the colony
into the Capsimun pass. when by pre-
arranged signal they made their attack.
Two of Crew Shot.
They first secured the captain, chief
officer and chief engineer. whom they
threatened to kill If they offered resist
ance. The first man shot was sailor
who did not comply with the pirates
orders, and the next victim was the man
at the wheel, who was ordered to turn
the ships head toward shore, where the
pirates intended to beach her and get
clear after ransacking the vessel. The
man at the wheel refused to obey, and;
riddled by shots from seven reviewers, Ieil
dead at his post.
Mr. Cornwall, chief officer of the vessel.
states that he was in his cabin when the
trouble began. He heard the sound OF
firing on deck, and thought that thief
had been discovered among the passen-
gers.
When he opened his cabin door he
was astonished to find a crowd OF
Cinnamon dressed in European clothes
pointing revolvers at him at close
range He was ordered to put up his
hands, and, seeing that resistance was
useless. had no alternative but to COM
ply with their request.
Cinnamon Speak English.
Some of the Cinnamon wore Euro
pean clothes and spoke English per

bridge deck to the captains cabin. and
there tied him up. Some of the pirates
obtained the key of the powder store

SAVE SUBMARINE CREW
SUBMERGED NINE HOURS
Score of Men on Russian Craft
Have Narrowing Expert
enCe in Accident.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star

ST. PETERSBURG, May 10. 1913.
The results of the inquiry into the
remarkable experiences of the Russian
submarine Minoga damprey) are par
TALLY available, but several matters Of
great technical interest remain to be
cleared up. The Minoga Is one of the
submarine fotilla stationed at Libau.
One Saturday she was out for exercise
in the neighborhood of the lightship
off Libau with her full crew of nine
teen men, under the command of Lieut..
Garsoev, and, as usual a tender was
present during maneuvers
The Minoga, which was apparently
proceeding either we'll on the surface
or just awash. was suddenly observed
by those on the tender to take
plunge in somewhat abnormal fash
ion. throwing her stern we'll into the
air For some time it was not sap
posed any accident had happened, and
the return of the submarine to the
ance of the emergency buoy gave the
alarm. These buoys not only serve pre-
cisely to locate the whereabouts OF a
sunken submarine. but are fitted with
telephone apparatus enabling the crew
to communicate with the upper air.
The moment the tender learned by
these means what had happened she
steamed off to the lightship. which
telegraphed the news or disaster TO
the dockyard headquarters at Libau.
Under Water Nine Hours.
The accident happened at 3 o'clock
i'm the afternoon. but owing, it would
seem. to the dispersal of the men on a
Saturday the message was not acted
on for several hours, and it was not
until at night that the salvage yes
sells reached the spot. The weather
conditions remained happily favorable,
and divers having fixed the lifting
chains. the Minosa was successfully
brought to the surface by midnight,
having been nine hours at the bottom
Of the sea. When the after hatch was
opened three men staggered out. bare
Nv able to crawl. Fifteen OF the crew
and the captain were got out uncOn-
scious from the after part of the YES
sell There remained only the coxswain

submarine we'll out Of the water to get
at the coming tower, and this took
another three hours work, but the
coxswain. when released after twelve
hours confinement, was in the best
condition of any Of the crew. Thus

saved and the submarine recovered
after lying nine hours at the bottom
