PETITION SUPPLEMENTAL
 AGAINST ORDINANCE SIX
Effectively Prevents Operation c
 New License Tax Measure

It having been found that the ref erendum petition recently filed against city license tax ordinance No. 6, bore but 409 legible signatures of qualified voters, City Clerk Tho mas yesterday morning made affi- davit to that effect and so notified the filers. Before the close of the day a supplemental petition bearing forty-fouc names was filed and thir- ty-five of these were checked over and found to be those of qualified voters.
 With the filing of the supplement tai petition the referendum is made effective against the ordinance, which otherwise would have become operative today. The commission has ten days in which to either re- peal the measure in it's entirety or to submit it to a vote of the people either at a special election or at the next municipal election. The com mission meets this evening and it is believed that the referendum will be discussed at that time.

lands bill to create a federal trade
commission first of the three admin
istration antitrust measures passed
the Senate late today by a vote of So
to Is.
The bill differs radically from the

EMMoNs SUSTAINED
Decision Regarding Status of kron.
prinxessin cecllie

Portland. Me, Aug. 5.-Hon. Willis
T. Emmons, the collector of this port
was informed yesterday by the agents
of the big German treasure steamship
of her arrival at Bar Harbor and he
was asked if her passengers could
be allowed to land, and her cargo dis
charged. After consulting with Depu-
ty Collector Farnsworth he decided
that as she did not touch at any
foreign port that she must be regard
ed as coastwise from New York to
Bar Harbor in the district of Portland
and that her passengers with the ex-
ception of those who had been pre-
viously ordered to be deported from
New York. would be exactly in the po-
or Boston to Portland
In other words Judge Emmons
reached the conclusion that even If
the big steamer did take a somewhat
unusual route from New York to Bar
Harbor, that she was still coast wise"
and that her passengers could be land
ed at Bar Harbor.
He was disposed TO believe that any
portion of the cargo which might be
subject to drawbacks would remain
III the custody of a United States Of
hcer, and the nearest deputy would in
that case be II, F. Morse of Southwest
Harbor. He also held that those who
had been ordered to be deported
would be given in charge of Captain
Elicit, the chief inspector of immi-
grafton. Judge Emmons wired to the
department of commerce. and his po-
sition was fully sustained on all points.
The position taken by Collector
Emmons was also fully sustained by
Assistant United States Commission
er of immigration jeremiah Hurley of
Boston, who gave 1t as his opinion that
the status of the steamship was that
of 4 coastwise steamer, provided, as
of course was the case, she did not
touch at foreign port. He also de-
cided as did Collector Emmons, that
those who had been previously ordered
to be deported must remain in the
custody of the immigration depart
ment. 1t is said that these points were
never raised before in this country.

vessel was apparently ready tonight
to put secretly to sea either to attempt
long dash across the ocean to Ham
burg, or to meet a German cruiser
somewhere out in the Atlantic and
supply 1t with fuel.
The Vaterland of the Hamburg
American Line, the worlds largest
liner. lay at her Hoboken pier with
steam up and her bunkers laden to
their capacity with coal.
At the pier the greatest secrecy was
thrown about the movements of the men
and small craft busted with her. Armed
guards continued to keep all strangers
of the pier. The Vaterland's decks were
dark, but her portfolios were ablaze with
lights. indicating activity below decks.
There are government secret service
men on board. 1t was assumed they were
under orders to see that the neutrality
laws were not violated. 1t would be
against these laws to take along big
guns that might be used in the European
conflict, or to place ammunition on board.
Agents of the Hamburg American Line

sharply today to the attention of the

collector of customs throughout the
country to see that II is observed and
that vessels clearing from American
ports make out the necessary papers

and up the Pacific coast. For the
present, the officers and men will
act in conjunction with the collectors.

cursed today at long conference at
the treasury. Within few weeks the
