 IN EXCITING ADVENTURE

Traffic officer Albert E. Lang ham. patrolmen Thomas Zhender and Hugo Fischer, yesterday risked their lives in an effort to stop g. runaway team driven by Henry Jaeger, a sut,- stitute letter carrier who also showed great presence of mind and stuck to his seat guiding the horses as best he
 might through the crowded section of Fairfield avenue crossing Main street. As the team approached Main street Langham warned pedestrians and drivers of their danger and then grasped the bridle of the near horse. to which he held until thrown to the pavement at Middle street, with cloth ing torn and bruises about his legs and body.

The team had been left standing at Harrison street, when the horses became frightened at the drop ping of a whiffletree upon their heels.

The closing hours of the struggle were enlivened by the presence in Washington of Mayor CAErley Of Bos- ton and a delegation of New England merchants and their representatives to protest against the Jones amend n3ent authorizing the president in his discretion to suspend the coastwise laws.
 The Senate rejected an amendment by Senator Newlands providing for the building of auxiliary cruisers for the navy to be used as commerce car auxiliaries in time of war. He had offered it many times before. On a roll call it was lost. 30 to 20.
 Senator Gallinger moved to strike from the bill the Jones amendment authorizing the president to suspend coast vessels whenever he deemed it necessary to local trade, but the mo- ton commanded only II votes. There were 3a against it.
 Senator Salisbury offered an amend ment providing that one-third of the registry under the, bill should be in the United States. Ordinarily the Salisbury amendment required that all of the vessel should be owned in the United States He modified it. at the request of Senator Reed. It was then voted down, 38 to H.
 An amendment suggested by Sen ator O'Gorman who had charge of the bill was adopted which provided for the striking out Of the bill the pro- vision for the free admission into the United States of raw material for ship building or for repairs. The senator said it was not necessary as it was taken care of by existing laws. The bill that passed the Senate is ar | amended form of the House measure which admits to registry in the Uni l ted States foreign built ships wher owned by citizens of the United States | or corporations organized under the | laws of the United States or of any state, but it excludes such vessels from engaging in the coastwtse trade excep | as amended. A section of the Senat, 1 bill urges the president to suspend tht laws requiring watch officers on sucl vessels to be citizens of the United 1 States whenever in his Judgment ther are not enough citizens of the Unitet l States available and qualified to fl | such positions The bill also author | izes the President in his discretion t, | suspend the the provisions of the lav requiring survey inspection and meas l urement by officers of the Unite, States of foreign built vessels admit ted to American registry under tn l act"

SHIP REGISTRY BILL PASSED BY SENATE AFTER AMENDMENT

Washington, Aug. 12-The ship reg istry bill, which is designed to help meet the emergency caused by the European war, has passed the Senate after amendment had been added requiring that corporations applying for registry for foreign built ships un- der the act must show that majority of their stock is owned by citizens of the United States
 On the first vote taken the amend ment was declared carried by the vice-president by a, vote of 23 to 21. Senator Hoke Smith moved a recon sideration and on this amendment was again carried by a, vote of 26 to 25.
 The so-called Jones amendment, which authorizes the president to sus- pend the coastwise laws whenever he may deem it necessary in the interest of the needs of domestic commerce. as between vessels plying between points on the Atlantic coast and points on the Pacific, and to admit foreign-built ships to enter such trade provided they have an American reg istry was adopted after being amend ed to include also vessels plying be- tween Gulf points or Great Lake ports and the Atlantic or Pacific coast ports. This amendment will give the presi- dent the power in the present enner- gency to admit foreign vessels to large part of the coastwise trade
 Senator Ga1linger protested that the amendment amounted to suspending entirely the laws for the protection of coastwise shipping. Senator Bryan Of Florida, offered an amendment ap- plying the authority to suspend the coastwise laws generally but this was voted down.

AMBASSADORS
 TO HIRE SHIPS
 FOR AMERICANS

Washington, Aug. 12-Secretary Garrison. as chairman of the relief committee, composed of the secre- ury, sent out instructions today to each embassy and legation to make inquiry as to available ships, and if Americans can be concentrated at open ports immediately, to charter neutral ships.
 The diplomatic officers were told not to pay higher rates than those usually charged by the liners for a similar service. All thought of send ing vessels over from the United States to bring the Americans has been abandoned
 It is felt that the moving of the refugees may be greatly expedited by the charter of neutral vessels wher- ever they are available. Little is definitely known as to the number of Americans desirous of re- turning home immediately. Secre- tary Garrison said today the diploma l tic offices had been instructed to
 small means who would be inmadi- | ately embarrassed financially should 1 their return be delayed. He expects
 no difficulty in transporting tht | refugees to the seaports. 1 The cable lines from Germany were still silent today but the latest des- 1 patches by other routes indicated nc obstacles were to be placed in the way of Americans desiring to leave except that all transportation facili- ties were being used for military pur- 1 poses.
 | With troops mobihzed, officials ex- pect that the ordinary traffic will be
 resumed soon and that Americans ir 1 Germany will have no difficulty ir
 making their way to Rotterdam te

SPAIN A LAND OF GAMES.
Bun-FIghting Not the Only Popular
 Snort.

BuH-Fighting Not the Only Popular
 Sport.
 (London Times
 Of the national sport of bull fight ing all that is good and all that is bad has been said before, and we will merely remark that it is practiced not only by the professional toreadors, but also by amateurs at the becer- radas, in which the bulls used are young and almost harmless. But the rearing of lighting bulls in the gan aderiaS gives rise to operations which, while lacking the sangl1inary aspect of the corridas, are full of in teresting sport.
 Such are the enc1erro. in which the bull is led away hemmed in by ca bestros or tbe11ed oxen; the aooso y derribo, which consists of driving the bull into a corner and throwing him down in order to brand him, a feat performed either on horseback and with the goad, as in Anda1usia, or by awaiting the onset of the beast, seiz- ing him by the horns, and twisting, his neck, as is done by the peasants of Salamanca, who for this purpose wear a leather cuirasse round the body; and the tienta, in which, the pugnacity of the bull is put to the trial by means of mock corrida. The Andalusians are adopts at pig 1 sticking, and the king himself has | taken part in this eXh1laraI1ng sport on the Donana estate at the mouth of | the Guadalquivir. the best district for game in all Europe.
 l The true national game of Spain is pelota, which originated in the Basque country. but is played in all the prin- 1 cipal towns of the peninsula and in I some places abroad. The game con sists of hitting a, ball against the walls of a fronton, which has one or two parallel courts and sometimes a lat eral one, and is played between two teams of two players each, one stand | ing in front and -Eone behind. The I ball is hit either with a costa, a sort of elongated and curved wick erwork 1 glove, or with the fiat pa1a (bat1, or | with the hand alone.
 The scoring is by points. each fault committed by one side-such as a I dropped ball sent out of the court 1 counting to the other side. The ex- traordfnary agility and suppleness of | theTp1ayers and the sustained excite | ment of the play make pe1ota, a most interesting game to watch, especially in the Basque country. where it is played in the open air, sometimes

 In the Canary islands a favorite sport is wrestling of a kind very sam liar to that practiced by the montag- nards of Switzerland. A curious game in the Beleares is hurting with a sling, weapon with which the na1 tivess who are said to have invented it, were familiar in ancient times. The women of the TaTragona. district run races with cantaros (pitchers) bar anced on their heads, and in La Go+ mera island (CanaTfes) the irhabil tants display wonderful skill in corr municating with each other by means of iwhistling. which they have made a. veritable medium of speech.

featuring capacity is almost half that Of the
whole world. The British and American capaci-
ties together are considerably over two-thirds of
the worlds. British mills are not going to be
shut down; the war will not draw away their
operatives because not over 10 per cent Of these
are subject to military demands. The country
is full of experienced operatives who can be
drawn back to the mills if they are needed. On
the whole, it is confidently to be expected that
there will be big increase in the output of the
British mills; they will be after the trade that
the Germans have controlled.
"That same is true of the American mills. AS
soon as things get adjusted to the new condi.
tions the demand for cotton will be limited only
by the capacity of the mills to turn it into cloth
"And the market for it will be found. Mil
lions of men are on the battlefields, and they are
the greatest consumers of cotton. They wea,
