SHIP BETRAYED BY
MOON IN FLIGHT
Vestris Halted by British CruiS.
er-PaSSengers Say Germans
"ColOr" War News.

The people of Brazil and the Argen-
tine are intensely interested in the
success of the allies against Germany,
according to the statements made by
passengers who arrived here yesterday
from Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro
on the belated Lamport e. Holt liner
Vestris.
Ever since the European war started
the sympathies of the Brazilians and
Argentinans have been almost unani-
mously with England, France and Rus
STA.
Throughout both republics the pas
sengers said there has been a DELHI
crate and studied effort on the part Of
German consuls to either receive or
manufacture false news concerning
British losses and to magnify as much
as possible the progress of the German
troops.
Among the specific instances was the
statement issued by the German consul
at Bahia, Brazil. 1t is alleged he re-
British battleships in the North Sea.
Instantly the British consul cabled to
the Admiralty and received a denial.
The Vestris, which was scheduled to
leave Buenos Ayres on August 6, did
rot get away until August 16. She left
Bahia on August q after lay.up of
two days and at q. m. on August %
ske was chased by the British cruiser
Monmouth. Captain Davies Of the
Vestris sailed at night with no lights
burning. but he was sighted by the
Monmouth by the aid of bright moon
light.
Yestris the Monmouth fired a plank
shot and the Vestrs hove to. She was
allowed to proceed later.
The Vestris brought to port the news
that the British steamship Hyades had
rot been sunk by warshiip of the
Brazilian coast, as reported, but had
been in collision with a German tramp
steamship in a fog. The Germans res
cued the crew and brought them into
Rio de JaneirO.
Passengers on the Vestris said that
the Cunard liner Carmania was in
Trinidad coaling and taking on sup
plies.

WILSON'S SECOND
VETO MESSAGE
Objects to Postal Savings
Deposits in Banks Not in
Reserve System.
tTrOm The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Sept 11.-President
Wilson's second veto message, in which
he disspproves a section of the bill
authorizing the increase of the maxi
mum limit of postal savings deposits
from $500 to $1,000, was sent to Con-
gross to-day.
The Presidents objection to the
measure is that it permits the deposit
of postal savings funds in state banks
rot in the Federal Reserve system.
He said in his message:
when the Federal Reserve act was
passed it was thought wise to make
the inducements to state banks to en-
ter the Federal Reserve system as
many and as strong as possible. 1t
was, therefore, provided in that act
that government funds should be de-
posted only in banks which were mem
hers of the Federal Reserve system.
The principle of such a provision is
sound and indisputable. The moneys
under the control Of the government
ought to be placed only in the banks
which are most directly under the
supervision and regulation of the Con-
gress itself.
at was recognized, also, that the
scattering of government deposits in
small amounts among too large num-
Der of banks would in time Of stress
be of decided disadvantage to the Fed
eral Reserve system, which seeks as
much as possible to mobilize the
financial resources of the country I'M
der one control. The bill which | now
return repeats that provision so far as
it might apply to funds accumulated in
the hands of the government under the
postal savings system. 1t is in this
provision of the bill that find myself
unable to concur.
at is my clear conviction, very re-
specially urged and submitted, that as
a matter of principle, as we'll as of
policy, we should strengthen nd safe
guard the new banking system very
jealously, with a view to the ultimate
unihcation of the entire banking sys-
tenn of the country under the super
vision of the Federal Reserve Board.
1t would, in my judgment, be grave
mistake to take away any Of the bene-
fits or advantages held out by the pres
cit law to member banks to enter the
system-and take them away just as the
system is about to be put into opera
tim and the promises Of the act Of
last December made good to the banks
that have entered"

SULzER WANTS DEBATE
Tells Davenport He's Only
Part Progressive.

William Sulzer has challenged Fred
crick NJ. Davenport, with whom he IS
fighting for the Progressive nomlna-
ton for Governor, to series Of joint
debates on these propositions:
"That William Sulzer is q pioneer
Progressive and stands squarely for all
Progressive policies and principles,
and his record Of six years in the
Legislature and eighteen years in Con-
gross proves it beyond successful con-
tIadiction."
"That Frederick M. Davenport is
only a partial Progressive, and has re-
pudiated the essential principles OF the
rtnyes that he is not now and never
has been q real Progressive.
"Plain Bill" offers to take the al
Ermative of these propositions and IN
forty-hve minutes vanquish his oppo-
nent.

HIGH FOOD UP TO IDLE
Dealer in Mutton Blames City
"Loafers" for Meat Prices.

Unemployed men, who prefer loaling
on park benches, were held responsible
for the high cost of living by Noses
Sanders, president of the New York
Beef and Mutton Company, at yester-
days session Of the inquiry before jas
tice Benedict, in the County Court,
Brooklyn.
In his testimony Mr.. Sanders said
that the upstate farmers could not get
farmhands. "Men who are harborcd
and fed at night by the charitable in
stitutions of Manhattan, who are I'M
employed because they absolutely re-
fuse to work, are directly responsible
for the high cost of living. Farmers
of New York State have practically
quit raising lamb and mutton because
they could not get men to do the labor
Incidental to raising animals used for
food.
prior to 1910 New York State pro-
duced something like 100000 sheep a
year, and last year the supply dropped
to something like 5,000," he added.

In an editorial upon the Attorney
Generals promised campaign against
cold storage men, "The New York Prod.
uce Review and American Creamery"
this week says;
1.-THE State Attorney General can
waste great deal Of the peoples
money and put many a man to q use
less sacrifice Of time by bringing pros
ecution for imaginary evils. He will
find ultimately that he was barking up
the wrong tree, and all his agitation
might he saved II the studies already
made and published as TO the use and
function of cold storage were known
to our administrative and prosecuting
departments"
The report of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture of the per-
centages Of deliveries from warehouses

ROMANCE WRECKED
BY TOO MUCH ART
A. L. Baker, Who Left Wife to
ElOpe, Sues for Second
Divorce.

Alfred Z. Baker, an artist, yesterday
filed petition for divorce in the New
Jersey Chancery Court at Jersey City.
His wife, with whom he eloped nine
years ago, was Miss Helen Newell,
daughter of Peter Newell. the comic
artist, of Leonia, n. ]. Miss Newell
was then eighteen years of age and
Baker had wife in New York.
Incompatibilty was the reason stated
by Baker in his petition.
81 am an artist" he declared, "and
she is an artists daughter. Our tenn
peraments could not agree. We were
at odds over everything"
In February, 1905, it became known
that Helen Newell had disappeared
from her home in Leonia. Two years
before Baker and his wife spent sew
eral months in that town. Newell OBJ
served that his daughter had become
infatuated with Baker and warned her
against him, but clandestine meetings
continued.
Putting on three suits of clothing
and a cloak to conceal the bulkiness
of her attire, Miss Newell one day told
her parents she was going to Engle-
wood to keep a dentists appointment.
When next heard from she was in
Paris with Baker.
In 1908 they returned to this country,
Bakers wife having divorced him, and
three years after the elopement Miss
Newell and Baker were married by a
justice of the peace in Jersey City.
Four years ago Baker attracted atten-
tion when he sought to have the New
Jersey Legislature enact a law legiti-
matizing children born out Of wedlock
For the last two years the Bakers have
been separated. They have a son seven
years old and daughter of four.
