THlRTY-f|VE STOkFRS
 PRISONERS OF WAR
Germans Aboard Steamer z2Capa
 Held at Kingston, N. '.

New York, Aug. 14.-Thirty-fivc German stokers of the crew of the United Fruit steamer Zacapa, which reached here today from Colombia Colon and Kingston, are prisoners of war at Kingston instead of being o:l their way to Germany as reservists, because of Capt. Towell's refusal to obey the command of the German consul at Colon and send the stokers ashore. .rEf
 When Captain Powell declined to land the stokers, three of them jumped overheard and swam ashore. The police got them and sent them back to the ship. They and their companions were taken to Kingston as prisoners of war.
 Captain Powell said he had consid erable difficulty in recruiting men to take their places
 Shore Fort Signals.
 Even though the Zacapa is a Brit ish ship as she entered Kingston har- bor a shore fort signalled the captain to dismantle his wireless--a new har- bor regulation enforced after the dec- laration of war, with which Capt. Powell was unfamiliar. Capt lowell says he decided that it would be all right till he reached dock. After q few minutes of delay the fort sig nailed again i've have our guns trained upon you and demand that you take down your wireless" It came down immediately.
 Steamed With Lights Out.
 The Zacapa steamed with her lights out to avoid German warships. One day out from Kingston she was hailed by a warship, thought to have been an Italian. It withdrew after learn ing the liners identity.
 The passengers became nervous, said Captain Powell, and many of them demanded their money and valuahles, deposited with the purser. They said that in case the vessel was captured they preferred to have their valuables in their pockets

WILL SUGGEST WAY
 TO GIVE EMPLOYMENT
Mayor Quigley Will Make Special Recommendation at Next Coun-
 Gil Meeting.

Following the general plan outlined by Mayor Quigley in last evenings s Herald he decided last night, after a conference with City Engineer Hall and Chairman E. N. Humphrey, of the board of public works, to read a special message to the council next Wednesday night in which he will recommend an additional appropria- tion of $25,000 for the street depart ment so that the work may be con- tinued further into the season.
 At present the department has something less than $25,O00 which has not been already expended and by the first ffsnext month this amount will have been used up, as it is only enough to finish the work now under way. As he stated yesterday, Mayor Quigley thinks that 1t Is much bet ter plan for the city to appropriate this money and pay men for doing city work which must be done ulti- mately anyway, than to see them out of work and applying to the city charity department for aid
 It Is also being suggested that if the plan for thus providing work for those of the unemployed who may desire it is carried out it might be good plan to set the wages at $1.75 per cent. more men than under the this work could be given to about ten percent, more men than under the $2 rate. Another emergency sugges- tion is to give desirable married men the preference in city work. Mayor Quigley sees that there is much need for work as every day he receives numerous applications for work but is unable to give 1t as there is no money and therefore no work to be done.
 In this recommendation Mayor Quigley states that many city streets are in terrible condition and by vot- ing a special appropriation at this time the work could be done so much the sooner and at no greater expense, while at the same time it would be helping the citizens of New Britain to earn their daily bread and butter.
