IMPERATOR TO GO ON TIME
Will Take Record List Despite
Fire-Line Thanks Public.

julius p Meyer, vice director Of the
Hamburg American Line, issued state
ment yesterday thanking its patrons fol
expressions of confidence they had shown
since the fire in the steamship Imperator
and for messages of sympathy received
from many parts of the country. The
statement follows:
I'VE are pleased to be able to make
the statement that all Of the arrange
ments were completed this afternoon fol-
the departure Of our steamship I'm
perator tomorrow Saturday morning
on schedule time, with a record list OF
namely, AS first cabin, 80 second cabin
400 third cabin and about $50 steerage
passengers. Since the occurrence OF the
fire the booking advanced in the usua
way, and no less than sixty passengers
were booked In first class and thirty
five In second class since yesterday
morning. All passengers were notified
by telegraph Immediately after the fire
damage was ascertained that the I'm
perator would sail on time and in her
usual first class condition
1.-The fire has demonstrated the great
value of the modern method Of ship con-
struction installed I'm the Imperator by
her builders, the Vulcan Shipbullding
Company-the method of dividing the ship
into numerous steel compartments
thereby providing the greatest possible
safety at sea against accidents of the
sea or by fire. The compartment where
the fire occurred was examined thor
oughly to-day by the representatives OF
the Germanic Lloyds, the Board OF Ham
burg Underwriters and the local United
States Bureau OF Steamship Inspection,
and a certificate was issued to the COM
pany as 10 the perfect condition and abb
solute seaworthiness OF the ship.
I'VE are indeed grateful for the great
confidence shown US by our patrons and
for the great number OF kilograms OF
sympathy received from all parts OF the
by the officers Of our line. and We hereby
gratefully acknowledge these kindly ex-
pressions. We wish TO emphasize how
highly We appreciate the prompt re-
Spouse of the fire departments Of New
York and Hoboken and the very valuable
services rendered by them"
The lmperator can sail on schedule
time to-day only because a record was
broken by the De Mayo Coaling Com
pany, which placed on board eight thou
sand tons of coal in eighteen hours. This
feat was begun Thursday after the fire
was extnguished. and the last scoopful
went into the hold at o'clock Friday
night.

LARGESS LANES LUSITANIA
Bonus to Firemen Prevents
Possible Record Passage.

The generosity OF the Cunard Line Off

The Lusitania is considered now by her

This retainer. THE Transcript says,

executive committee OF the directors ana
II is understood that II Will be paid IN n
lump sum. The article continues:
The directors felt that Mr.. Mellen was

ing up his new position. would require
some one upon whom he could rely Ior
such information.
MFR. Elliott had fully considered THIS
matter with members OF the executive

cepted the position of president. and AT
the time Of the directors meeting In Ne"
York Mr. Elliott arranged to secure the
cooperation OF his predecessor In assufn-
ing his new duties.

ut won't cost you nothin, son: this
is on Tom Foley"
And that remark of one OF Tom
Foley's friends behind the orangeade
counter explained about everything at
the annual picnic of the Downtown
Tammany Club in Harlem River Park
yesterday
For long time now, long before many
of the little tots who were present yes
terday were born. Tom" Foley, former
sheriff of New York County. has been
giving a picnic every year to the mothers
and children OF the crowded tenement
districts on the East Side.
Yesterday it seemed almost as If that
great melting pot of the I'd Assembly
District must be deserted. The Bowery'
chinatown and more than one Little
Italy" no longer existed. They had all
been fused into Tom" Foley's picnic.
iChinese. japanese, Spanish. Irish. Scan
dinavians, negroes and even Republicans
and Socialists were there. but no creed
or no breed existed among ten thousand
consumers of $50 gallons of ice cream,
oceans OF orangeade and tons of sand
witches. What cared tiny Patrick Murphy
for the monster called fusion when he
had all the ice cream and popcorn he
could tuck under his little torn shirt?
Although the rain threatened all after
moon, and even fell at intervals. to take
the starch out of Sunday clothes freshly
laundered for yesterdays great event,
nothing so trivial weather really mat
tered. Long before the park gates were
opened a crowd of several hundred wom-
en- and children of the neighborhood had
gathered at the entrance, hoping TO enter
with the favored ones from downtown.
but those from 1.-The Second" had u be
accommodated first, and ropes were
stretched from the gates 10 the elevated
road to keep the way clear for the thou
sands TO arrive from big Toms" own
district.
Again and again the unbdden guests
rushed over the ropes and surged about
1.-THE gates. They knew they would get In
eventually. for no one was ever known
to be turned away from Toms" picnic.
yet those tickets for swings and carrousels
and cake and popcorn were too tempting
20 wait for Some Of the mothers had
babies in their arms, and two or three
little ones clinging TO their skirts. An
army Of small boys and girls raised
continuous clamor:
please let us in. won't you, mister?
Aw! give US a ticket Come on, won't
you please mister
At last the loaded trolley cars. filed
with a noisy happy crowd OF mothers
and youngsters. began to arrive from the
lower East Side on every car was

Howard Elliott. who goes TO the New
Haven Railroad as president on Septem-
her !. issued a statement yesterday am
plifying remarks made by him at the re-
cent stockholders meeting TO the erect
that patience should be shown toward a
policy that might temporarily be consid-
cred as disturbing 10 the interests OF the
shareholders. What was taken 10 indi-
cate further reduction Of the New
Haven dividend was his statement that
dividends must be earned II paid.
MIR Elliott. however qualified this an
nouncemcnt by saying that II applied to
ali the railroads Of the United states. and
not alone 20 the New Haven. lie said
further:
The above remarks were not based on
results or expectations on the New Haven
road alone. but on the general railroad
situation in the United States. II is a
matter 81 common knowledge that the
margin between income and outgo on the
American railroads is very mario" ana
too small for the best interests OF the
country. which needs the very best or
transportation facilities.
circumstances sometimes compel
changes in dividends. The great Chicago.

and the Big -Four had to pass It's dividend.
The Wabash. Frisco and Pore Marquette
roads. all serving important parts OF the
United States. have not been able TO make
enough 10 keep out Of court and are all
in the hands Of receivers.
THE results on the New Haven road
for the year ended June So 1913, as pub
lished In the newspapers, showed that the
read failed TO earn the dividends paid by
$500. 600. There are twenty-seven d.
rectors OF the road. and the decision about
dividends rests. Of course, with them. /
have not discussed this question with
them And do not know their Views. but
IL seems obvious that dividends cannot
long be paid unless earned and that II
is wise to look the situation squarely In
the face.
"It is conceivable that a somewhat re-
duced corn crop In the West. some dis
turbance In the manufacturing business
because Of the readJustment Of the tariff.
some slackening of business generally.
may produce conditions that will make II
necessary or wise 10 change the dividend

conditions will not arise. and have faith

ress I'm the United states and In New

run. but II earnings decrease to greater
extent than II is possible TO reduce ex-

mate welfare OF the property. even at the
cost OF temporary loss and incon-
yenience."
