REPLY FOR DEWEY
FROM D|EDER|CHS

BERLIN, Feb. 2S-Admiral Won
Diederichs replies in print today to
the statements made by Admiral
Dewey regarding the exciting Incl
dents between the American and Ger
man naval commanders in Manila
Bay during the Spanish-American
War.
The reply is published in the off,
cial Marine Rundscheu, and is spread
over 1000 words. 1t contains the
report of the visit made to Admiral
Dewey on July 10, 1898, by the then
flag lieutenant, Won Hintz, who is
now German minister to Mexico.
It is evident from this report that
Admiral Dewey threatened the Ger
mans with war if they did not cease
their interference with the blockade
regulations, and if they refused to
permit the Americans to make the
inquiries necessary to establish the
identity of neutral warships. Won
Diederichs says:
admiral Dewey gradually talked
himself into a passion. He said:
why I shall stop every vessel, what
ever may be her colors. And If she
does not stop, l shall fire at her. And
that means war, do you know, sir?'
When the phrase, If Germany wants
war, etc, occurred again I took my
leave.
AT was under the impression that
this in itself trivial incident put a
match to a mass of explosives which
had long been accommodating in Ad-
miral Dewey's mind from suspicion,
rumor and newspaper reports"
The remainder of Admiral Diede-
richs's statement is virtually a rep
etition in expanded form of the inter-
view he gave to the Associated Press
a few days ago.

BABY SAVED FROM
FLAMES BY NURSE
Son of Lamar Washington Car.
ried from Burning House
in Summit.

SUMMIT, Feb. 2s.-The fire depart
uents of this place, Short Hills and
MiIlburn battled for half an hour
last night with flames that threaten
ed "Washington Manor" the resi-
dence of Lamar Washington, one Of
the handsomest homes in this section.
It was ony by hard work that the
fire was prevented from destroying
the entire structure.
A nurse was the only victim OF the
FIRE. Her dress caught fire from a
small alcohol heater in the bathroom.
and. although the door was locked,
she managed to escape and give the
alarm.
In beating out the flames she was
burned. She had forethought enough
to rush to the nursery and rescue
the baby. despite the pain from her
burns.
1t was probably due to Mrs Wash
ington's presence of mind that the
entire house was not destroyed. As
soon as she learned of the fire she
closed the doors to the main part or
the building and prevented them
spreading there. She and her mother
were alone in the house at the time.
Mrs. Washington did not lose her
head, however, and with the aid OF
the telephone she summoned the tire
department. After a half hours fight
the blaze was extinguished, but sew
eral of the f1remen were left on watch
during the remainder of the night
The nurse was burned about the face
and was treated by physician. MT.
Washington received word OF the
fire in New York and hurried home
on the late train. The fire was dis
covered about 10 o'clock.
.sWashington Manor" is situated
in a tract of fourteen acres ana
has a frontage of about 9OV rect
on the Chatham turnpike. The house
edioins the turnpike and the Canoe
Brook Country Club. 1t was pur-
chased last fall by Mr.. Washington.

Plaintiff Sick, SO Judge
Directs Prisoners Acquittal
Especial to the Newark star.I

YOUNGSTOWN. N. J.. Feb. 2s.-
Andrew Wood, of Netcong, was ac-
quilted of the charge of robbing the
office of Augustus M. Jones. livery
man of the same place, of $500 at the
direction of Judge Joshua r. Salmon
in Quarter Sessions, yesterday. The
money was stolen from a desk in the
Jones's office on the afternoon OF
November 5. Wood was suspected of
the robbery and left Netcong. He was
later arrested and brought here to
iail. Owing to the fact that Augustus
M. Jones, the owner of the stable and
the only one knowing the amount
stolen and the circumstances under
which it was taken, was so i'll that he
could not be present to testify, the
robbery could not be fastened on
Wood. Judge Salmon, therefore, di-
rected the jury to bring in a verdict
of not guilty.

Interesting Surveys
At Delaware Capes

The historic boat "Endeavor"
which is engaged in the coast and
geodetic survey service in charge of
Captain J. R. Boutelle, is making
surveys off the coast between Lewes
and Cape May.
The original surveys Of the shoals
and channels were made about
1S47. There may have been addi-
tional surveys, now and then since
that time, but the changes have
been so great that general re-sur-
vey has been made necessary, which
is now being done.
Captain Boutelle has his men
sounding out the shoals and chan
nels near Cape May, and also ex-
tending the work over the Over
falls shoals to the six fathom curve
which is the curve that defines the
limit of six fathoms of water.
The "Endeavor" has had an in
teresting historical career. She
was constructed in 1862 at the Nor
folk Navy Yard to be used as a
Confederate gunboat. She is said
to have been the "Lady Davis, :"
money for the construction of
which was contributed by the lad
les of the Confederacy. When Nor
folk was taken during the Civil
War, the boat was captured and
later turned over to the coast sur
vey service, in which she has been
engaged for half century, making
surveys from Maine to the Gulf of
Mexico.
The boat is 10 feet long and is
manned by the following officers:
Captain j. B. Boutelle, e. d. Cor
don, Erwin Harsch, F. E. O. Keson
and K. e. Nelson Thorssell in ad-
dition to crew Of twenty-five
men.
Captain Boutelle and his men
who have been engaged in the
above work for the past month,
have made their headquarters at
Lewes, until last week, when they
went to Cape May.

American competitions this rule
has been rigidly enforced, and
there can be no reason for depart
ing from it in any particular. In
deed, if possible, supervision will
be even more thorough under the
advice and guidance of the college
experts.
Prof. Harry Hayward, who is
dean of the agricultural station
connected with Delaware College,
and who, therefore, will have direct
supervision of The North Ameri-
can competition, is a graduate of
the College Of Agriculture Of Cor
nell University. He has been con-
nected with college agricultural
work for many years, one Of his
most important connections having
been at State College, Pa, where
for eight years he was at the head
Of the department Of dairying.
Professor Hayward also has
done splendid work in a similar
capacity at the New Hampshire
College of Agriculture, and was as
sistant chief Of the dairy division
of the United States department Of
Agriculture at Washington. He
organized and for three years dir
ected the agricultural department
Of Mount Pernon School, coming
to Delaware College in 1906.
Professor Hayward has taken
special work in several American
Newark post., 1914-08-05

universities, Reading College IN
England, and a number OF German
agricultural institutions. He IS a
member of the Delaware State
Board of Education and several
national agricultural societies and
is author of numerous widely CIR
culated bulletins and a lecturer OF
note.
Professor Hayward has the full
support of the Delaware State
Board of Agriculture in assuming
supervision of The North American
egg-laying competition, and is ac-
lively assisted in making prepara-
tions for the event by Wesley Webb
corresponding secretary of the
Board, himself an agricultural ex-
pert of wdie reputation.
The success of The North Ameri-
can international egg-laying COM
petitions, which have gathered en-
trants from nearly all parts Of the
United States, with the best OF
Canada and Europe, has greatly
helped and encouraged poultry
men who know what development
og egg production means, especial
ly in these days of high prices.
One evidence of this is shown in
the fact that the entry list for the
fourth contest is already almost
full, nearly eighty pens of six

Oral duels and miniature inter
national warfare in the smoking
room helped to divert the minds OF
the passengers who were inclined
to misgivings. To some sleep was
impossible. The dark, foggy nigh
were long vigils until the morning
sun burned it's way thru the mist
that had hung over the North At
lantic. The pool on the time OF ar

fcers to restrain passengers from
crowding into the small launches
that came to the ships side after
she entered the harbor. A man
who managed to get newspaper
from one of the launches was all
but mobbed.
The little village Of Bar Harbor
with it's summer colony, was all
astir before it's usual hour to wit
ness the unprecedented spectacle
of big ocean liner anchored just
off shore. The smokestack, paint
ed by the crew the morning after
the Cecelie turned on her course,
led the inhabitants Of the village to
think that by some strange chance
the Olympic had wandered into
port. Next word went around that
it was the missing Cecilie, with the
famous cargo of gold, and curios-
ity became feverish. Enterprising
persons began running launches to
the ship, but none were allowed to
board her. They stopped long
enough, however, to shout greetings
and the latest news to those on
board.

Profitable Garden

From a garden 25x150 feet A. K.
Hopkins Of Middletown, Del, has
sold to date more than $3.50 worth
OF produce of various kinds. Start
ing in the early spring with two
small hot beds he sold $25 worth of
early tomato plants. Later came
string beans and lettuce, and a
goodly sum was realized from them.
The early garden was sowed in
celery and late cabbage plants and
the sales from these have run as
high as $23 per day and are still
going on, after every rain.
Mr.. Hopkins still has a large
crop of lima beans to harvest from
