trust or who not to trust"
"Surely one may trust brothers of the lodge"

mence. "Whatever say, what we think,
seems to go back to that McGinty."
"Look here" said McMurdo stcrnly at was

good faith to our Bodymaster. Would you be
asking me to break my oath?" ""n
off that is the view you take" said Morris
sadly, 81 can only say that am sorry gave you
the trouble to come to meet me. Things have
come to bad pass when two free citizens cannot
speak their thoughts to each other"
McNIurdo, who had been watching his COM
panion very narrowly, relaxed somewhat in his
bearing. "Sure l spoke for myself only" said he.

to it all. 1t is not for me to open my mouth, Mr..
Morris, and if you think we'll to say anything to

"And to take it back to Boss McGinty" said
Morris bitterly

McMurdo. "I'or myself | am loyal to the lodge,

you are new to it, and your conscience cannot

EMERGENCY ship
ACT PASSES Senate
WITHOUT ROLL CALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-The Sem
ate yesterday without a roll call, but
after long wrangling over important
amendments passed the bill already
passed by the House relaxing the pro-
hibitions against the admission of for
eign-built ships to American registry.
The hardest fight Of the day came
over an amendment offered by Mr..
Cummins, Of Iowa, Progressive Re-
publican, requiring that majority in
terest in the foreign-built ships must
be owned by American citizens before
they could be admitted to the registry.
On a rising vote Mr.. Cummins
amendment was adopted % to 2i.
That, Of course, showed less than quo
rum present and a long parliamentary
struggle followed in which the vice
President showed his independence of
the party leaders by ruling that
quorum was not necessary. In the
end. however. a roll call was taken on
the motion Of MIR. Smith, of Georgia.
recommitting the amendment. That
motion prevailed 26 to 25 and the
amendment seemed TO be dead But
when the vote REQUIRED on the amend
ment itself il was again and finally
adopted by the vote OF 26 to 25.
The long drawn discussiors began
today on the amendment Of Mr.. /
Of Delaware, Democrat.
requiring that 80 per cent. American
interest in the foreign-built ships was
necessary to their American registry. |
Mr.. Reed, Of Missouri, who has op- I
posed the spirit Of the bill, modified |
that by making the proportion two
thirds and then the amendment as
modified was rejected by the over /
whelming vote Of IL to 80. II was
That vote that made the final adoption
of the Cummins amendment so surpris-
ng as they were both along the same
lines.
The bill as amended will come IN
n the House today probably. The (
important additions are the amend
nents relating to trade between ports
Dn the Great Lakes, the Atlantic
ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and Inc
saciiic Ocean, imposing a minimum az
american interest in the foreign-built
inips admitted to registry and a pro-
Iisicn allowing the American Red
ross to charter and register a shin
or relief work.

Sees GOUCE IN
THE SHIPPING BILL
Flour Merchant Says LegiS-
lation Will Force Up
Prices in America
WOULD PLACE
EMBARGO ON WHEAT

Asserting that the interest Of the
masses demands such action Morris
Worrall. secretary of the flour firm
Of J. r. Marr q Co., urges that Presi-
dent Wilson promptly veto the ship
ping bill, which has just passed the
Senate. and thus hinder, If not prevent
the expectation of food stuffs during
the war in Europe MIR. Worrall as
serts that the signing Of the measure
for Increased shipping will mean
higher prices for edibles, especially
wheat, while its rejection would
cause break In the market which
would send wheat tumbling Mr.. Wor-
rail- regards II as unpatriotio 70 ship
wheat to Europe and force American
citizens to pay .prohibitive prices or
20 without bread
IL President Wilson will veto the
shipping bill, and it is impossible to
export wheat or other food products,
you viii see prices crumble" Mr.
Worrail said, and hope he win re-
ject the measure and exhibit regard
for the rights of the masses. The
operation Of the shipping bill means
that we will be supplied with ves-
sells in which we may export millions
of bushels of wheat DETECTION OF
this supply to Europe Will mean high
er prices here. Flour is now $3.50 a
barrel, wholesale, and $3.50 retail.
These prices are high enough. The is-
sue involved in the shipping situa-
tion is simply this If President Will
son signs the shipping act, the Amer
lean people viii have 10 pay increased
prices; II he vetoes 1t. cost Of grains
and edibles will fall.
1T Is my opinion that in addition
to vetoing the shipping legislation the
present administration should place
an embargo on wheat and other food
stuffs, and not permit a bushel OF
grain or a pound OF food stuffs TO be
exported. The abundant crops would
speedily result in lower prices do
not think we should be taxed because
the European nations are at war"

FEAR RELATIVES
ARE WAR Victims
Local Germans Alarmed
Over Safety Of FriendsWho
Are Fighting for Kaiser
ONE ATTACHED
TO BRAVE UHLANS

In the absence Of any authentic news
from the scene Of the war between the
German and Belgian forces, two em-
ployes in Winkler's "llofbrau,n at
Tenth and Shipley streets are on the
anxious list concerning the tate of sheir
relatives who are in the German army.
Oskar Won Lenen, Of No. 70S Poplar
street, the chef at tine Hofbrau, IS wait
ing anAlously to learn ii the report that
an entire troop oi Geri4an Uhlans. or
ealfarslneu, were wiped out by the
belgians IA recent engagement "a re-
ported Ia the dispatches received from
the front, as ne has ii brother-n-l law
m that troop 81 Uhlans. he also has
several brothers in the German army.
FRITZ hobohm, IL brother OF Mrs. Won
Lenen, was member Of the troop OF
Chlahs thnt were reported 10 be killed,
holding q petty citizenship, and ii the
report Is true II is almost certain that
Fritz is one Of t..e rapidly increasing
number OF victims OF the terrible war.
Mrs. Won Lenen has been greatly wor.
fied since the repur. was published and
her husband has written 20 relatives ia
Germans, with the faint hope that the
news is uniounded or that the absent
one ~ some manner escaped the saugh-
ter that met his comrades.
tredrick Spinken q waiter az tine
Hoibran, also is concerned over the fate
on his relatives. Spinken has several
brothers IN the German army. and his
Uncle, Robert Kyle. is sergeant OF Il
troop Of artillerymen who were IN the
thick OF the lighting between the Ger
man and Belgian forces.
Both Hobohm and kyle are known
70 the German-Americans OF Whining.
ton Hobohm was former resident
OF this city, having come here with
his sister and lived here for several
years before returning TO Germany
He has a number OF friends here who
hope that the news is not as bad as
II seems.
Robert Kyle has also visited Will
mington, having been the guest Of his
nephew. of No. GIG East Third street,
in 1909. At that time he met num-
ber Of Wilmingtonlans He lives in
Marienburg, West Prussia. and served
from the rank in the artillery TO his
present Office OF sergeant
Spinken has been unable TO ascer-
tain whether or not his uncle Is liy-
ing, his only news being that the COM
pany OF which the uncle is a sergeant
was in the thickest OF the fighting and
a number OF them we're killed.
Mrs. Spinken has a brother, Albert
Jones, who Is custom inspector on the
Austrian Prussian border, where fight
ing has been going on, and she also
entertaina fears for his safety.
Charles J. Winkler. proprietor of
the Hofbrau, says that unless the
European war lasts for over three
months, which be believes Is highly
improbable, there will be no reason
for advancing the prices OF imported
delicacies, as he has store on hand
sufficient 10 last that long.
Mr. Winkler said that a recent pub
lished article that imported cheese is
made in this country Is not true, as It
requires a high altitude 70 make the
cheese and II Is necessary for some
Of the imported cheese to have d herd
Of goats in order to obtain fresh goats
