VANDYCK PRISONERS
PRAISE GERMANS
Received Nothing but Courtesy,
Say Liners Captured Crew
and Passengers.

on the steamship Byron, which ar
rived Yesterday from South American
ports, came ffty-nine passengers and
sixty members of the crew OF the Lam
mort & Holt liner Nandyck, which was
captured by the German cruiser Karls-
ruhe October 26. They were taken
aboard At Para, Brazil, where they
were landed by the steamship Asuncion.
Passengers and crew were prOtuse in
their praise Of the courtesy Of the
German naval officers, and all declared
that nothing was left undone IN pro
viding for their comfort after the
Vandyck was captured.
Several members Of the crew said
that the Karlsruhe was able to capture
any vessel she chose, as she had a
perfect system of communication and
Reconnaissance. The captured Britt b
sailormen declared that the German
cruisers in the Caribbean and South
Atlantic were informed promptly and
accurately about the movements of all
steamships scheduled TO come their
way.
An officer on the Karlsruhe informed
one Of the \audyck's officers that the
only reason the cruiser did not capture
more vessels was that she did not
consider IL worth while. She was on
the watch for big prizes, and let many
British vessels 90 by simply because
she did not need their csrgoes or the
service Of the ships themselves.
When a request was made that the
Messengers might save their baggage
the German officers declared that the
passengers and crew could have al. the
time they required, but that before the
transfer was begun the Nandyck would
have to steam eastward well outside the
northbound steamship lane. The men
from the Vandyck said yesterday that
they felt confident the vessel was not
sunk. She was the biggest prize oi
the war. had a fine cargo Of coal and
was a vessel too valuable 10 the karls-
ruhe for the latter 20 sink her.
Captain Anthony Cardigan, of the
Vandyck, and Mr.. Hulse, the purser,
are on the Booth steamship stephen,
which is due here to-day OF tomorrow.

The Jury in the case Of the State OF
Humanity against John Bsrleycorn took
no more than five minutes 20 convict
him yesterday Of treason, and last night
he was executed. Two grim execution
ers, swathed in black, their faces half
masked, welded their axes with terri

John Barleycorn was only a great
hogshead TO be sure, and the trial,
which was held at Salvation Army
headquarters, was termed a mock"
trial. But 70 the two thousand who sat
in the hall and heard the testimony OF
the prosecutions witnesses the hogs
head meant more than a mere collec-
tion of slaves and iron hoops and the
trial much more than "mock" trial.
So many in the throng could have testi-
fled themselves.
1t was a perfectly legal trial. Judge
John Warren, Of the First Circuit
Court Of Hudson County, presided in
this court Of general welfare; Samuel
Wilson, of Jersey City, the attorney for
the Anti Saloon League, conducted the
prosecution, and George Brengle repre-
sented the defendant Barleycorn. From
the time the judge read the indictment

Duffy and composed largely of former
friends of Barleycorn, pronounced the
defendant guilty and the judge sen

prosecution, among them Warden Sui

FUNSTON IN TEXAS
WITH HIS TROOPS
Fighting Fifth Brigade" Gets
Rousing Welcome at
Galveston.

Galveston, Texas, Nov. 26.- Amid the
booming Of cannon, the waving Of flags,
the cheering Of thousands and the
strains Of martial music the Fighting
Fifth Brigade" under command OF
Major General Funston, which has been
at Vera Cruz since last April, arrived
here this afternoon.
The Cristobal, Funston's flagship, led
the way, followed by the Kanssn and
the Sumner. Two hours behind were
the Fitzpatrick and the Mcclellan with
the remainder of the soldiers and the
equipment.
DISSEMINATING will begin tomorrow,
the Fourth, Seventh and Twenty-eghth
infantry going 20 Fort Crockett, where
camps have been prepared, and the re-
mainder Of the brigade 10 Texas City
All will be in camps by Saturday night.
General Funston reported an un-
eventful voyage except for rough seas.
He would not venture an assertion as
TO what will happen at Vera Cruz and
said there were several hundred refu-
gees there who were taking a chance

liner City of Mexico took 100 10 Texas

and nuns driven from the interior and
fleeing 70 the United States TO escape
the wrath of the revoutionists. To-
night they flooded local telegraph COM
panies with messages begging those
left behind TO leave Mexico for the
United States
In spite OF efforts at concealment il
was admitted by officers of the Fifth
Brigade that their rear guard was fired
upon by Mexicans as II was covering
the withdrawal of the main body. Some
of the officers hold that the shots were
lred by the Mexcans as a display Of
enthusiasm at the departure of the
Gringoes. but others are sure that the
shots were fired in earnest.
None of the soldiers was injured, but
the experience is described as the most
nervous of the American occupation.
The main army Of General Agular
was only 200 yards behind the Ameri-
can troops and could have had the
Americans at its mercy, If a concerted
attack had been attempted.
On the flagship Cristobal, guarded BY
detail Of men, is 10000 in gold Of
customs money collected az the port of

POLICEMAN SHOOTS
GUNMAN In DUEL
Sends Bullet Into Fighters
Chest After Running
Battle in Street.

Patrolman Charles Pritting, Of the
Bergen ST. station, Brooklyn, draws a
quick bead with his revolver or he
would be to-day in hospital. at least,
instead Of having been the means Of
sending another man there. After a
running fight in Carroll ST., between
Fifth and Sixth avs. Brooklyn, last
night about 10 o'clock. he shot Mariana
Saveno. of 294 1st ST., in the arm and
ended the struggle.
Saveno was taken 70 the Swedish
Hospital, where II was found that the
patrolmans bullet had passed from
the arm into the chest of his an
tagonist. DR.. Costello thought the
Italian might die. Pritting also re-
ouired medical attention, having
stopped the butt of Saveno's revolver
with his jaw.
The patrolman was at Sixth av. and
Carroll st. when an excited Italian
rushed up TO him and said man was
crouching in the rear yard of his home
waiting for a chance TO kill his father.
With his informant Pritting returned
rapidly 70 the scene, and entered an
alley to reach the hiding place Of the
gunman. In the darkness he didn't see
a fleeing figure until he was upset by
the swift rush of the gunman IN his
attempt TO escape.
Jumping up, Pritting got into the
fray, but was repulsed with the blow TO
the Jaw. The other man then fed
hastily with the officer soon in hot pur-
suit. The pursuer was gaining when
the fugitive turned and aimed his
weapon at the patrolman. Pritting, un-
I'll now determined to keep his revol-
YER silent as long as possible, dis
charged IL quickly with deadly aim.
Saveno's weapon dropped from his
hand and ratified on the povement

dragged all the drunksrds they could
lay hands on, and conveyed the un-
fortunates to the headuarters, where
they were put into a big room, given
coffee and soup and allowed to sober
up.
More than $500 dinners were served
during the day at the headquarters,
and the crowd differed somewhat from
of yore in that there was a larger per-
centage of better dressed men than
usual. Captain Bransfeld, of the Bow

RECONSTRUCTION OF

Opposition 10 the purposed recon

ground that it would be mot only a
short sighted but extrayagant policy,

The letter urges instead the construc-

r. is also suggested that immediate
provision be made for elevated service
over the bridge by the laying Of tracks
on existing track girders at the centre
Of the upper deck Of the bridge.
The dual subway contracts provide
for the use of the bridge for the Man

Brooklyn Rapid Transit subway. The
reconstruction Of the bridge TO 1T such
A plan, il is pointed out, would cost
S3.O24.000 according 70 an estimate
submitted In July.
Such a reconstruction, IL Is claimed
by the Citizens Union, would be only a
temporary expedient, as the residential
and commercial development IN Queens,

ties. would be increased 20 such an eX..
tent as TO exceed the load capacity OF
the bridge. The building OF the tunnel,
il is argued, would therefore prove

with the expense Of building an up

bridge 10 its present condition after
the tunnels are built, would cost So
