Adriatic Takes the Giant
Liners Passengers at
Last Minute.
MAY USE DETAINED
BOAT FOR TROOPSHIP
Minnehaha Also Leaves Port to
Race with Warships
Across Ocean.

Although laden to capacity ard
equipped TO make the fastest passage
OF her career across the Atlantic TO
Liverpool the big White Star liner
Olympic did not sail yesterday, as was
planned.
Reports were current that the local
agents had no intention Of sending her
out yesterday, but the blowing off OF
terrific steam pressure from the boil
ers at sailing time disproved the ru-
mors.
She was ready for sea in every sense
Of the word; ready TO take on a des-
perate speed contest with whatever
German warships might cross her
path on the Atlantic highway, but adj
vices from the British Admiralty re-
ceived about a. m. ordered her 20 re-
main in port for orders.
Her $50 saloon. so second cabin and
some 200 steerage passengers were in
formed they would have to board the
Adristic if they wish to 20 abroad,
end none refused. Passengers and bag
gage were promptly transferred and
went out on that vessel, which is the
newest of the feet next to the Olympic.
It was reported that the British Ad-
miralty had decided 10 order the Olym-
pic TO Halifax, where she was TO take
aboard Canadian troops for the Eu-
ropean campaign. While this may DE-
possible, il is not probable, as it has
been planned for the last five days 70
rush the great liner to England as soon
as this could be safely done.
The Atlantic transport liner Mime
haha and the Vaderland, of the Red
Star Line, also were scheduled to sail
Yesterday, but the former and the
Adriatic were the only ones permitted
to go. The international Mercantile
Marine Company could better afford TO
take chances in losing by capture these
two vessels than il could the Olympic.
It is thought that if any risk is to be
taken at all the experiment should be
made by two steamships whose COM
bined worth is less than half that of
the ss,0O0.00O Olympic.
The Adriatic, besides taking the
Olympic's passengers, had OF her own
complement SIS saloon, so second and
1853 third class travellers. She seemed
to have taken none of the precautions
to avoid detection used by other steam
ships, but it is known that there VIII
be little to be seen of her as she
steams along at night.
As she backed out into the North
River man in the steerage, said TO
be Belgian reservist. blew call
upon bugle whic aroused every one
on board. The call ended, he blew the
melody of "God Save the King" and
soon the vessel was in an uproar. Five
hundred persons on the pier and the
crew of the Olympic, which had
swarmed to the stern of the big vessel,
sang their national anthem.
When the song ended a bugler on
the Olympic rushed through the crowd
and, standing on the stern rail, an
swered the bugler on the Adriatc. He
was asked to repeat the strain, and the
crew of the olympic accompanied him.

TRAINS DELAYED
FROM MAURITANIA
Crowds at Station Disap-
pointed When Friends
Fail to Arrive.
OFFICIALS DETAIN
SOME PASSENGERS
Reported That Liner Now at
Halifax Will Be Convert.
ed Into Cruiser.

Hundreds Of persons, gathered at the
Grand Central Station yesterday 10
await the special train carrying the
Messengers Of the Mauritania, COM
pelled BY German cruiser to put into
Halifax, were disappointed when the
announcement was made that the spe-
c;ol would not arrive until an early
hour this morning.
According TO the original announce
ment the first section Of the special
was due in New York at 4 p. m. Long
before that time the exit from the
BOSTON train shed was jammed with
relatives and friends.
At 3.45 word was received that the
special had been delayed and would
not arrive until to-day. Then the
crowd began a general arrangement OF
steamship and railroad companies.
While il is understood that the Cedric
and Nauretania passengers were safe,
the feeling prevailed that they were
better off at home. Very few OF the
Cedric passengers were expected on
the first section of the special.
The first of the Mauretanis pas
senpers TO reach here were those who
refused 10 wait for the steamship
officials to arrange for their trans
portation and left on the first train
after they were put ashore. A few OF
the second class and immigrant pas
sengers of the Mauritania have been
detained by the Canadian immigration
officials. a fact which greatly wrought
up a group of Italians who hurled vol
leys Of highly pitched questions at the
station officials.
Passengers from the fugitive boat
reported that it was the intention to
convert the Mauretania into a cruiser
at the Halifax naval depot The big
steamer was practically built for the
Admiralty, and embodies many feat
ures of warship construction in her
hull, including longitudinal bulkheads
and provision for magazines.
The list of prominent people arriv-
ing on the special includes P. A. S.
Franklin. of the International Mer-
chant Marine Company; Representa-
tive and Mrs. George w. Loft; W. d.
Hamilton, of the firm of j. P. Morgan
e. Co.; w. E. Corey, formerly vice.
president of the United States Steel
Corporation, and Mr.. and Mrs. +. H.

WANTS DIVORCE HELD UP
Woman Seeks Benefit of Evi.
dence in Companion Suit.

In the divorce suits of Frederick
Esmelton Bryant against Mrs. Louise
Power Bryant and Mrs. Adele B. Davis
against Dacer Russell Davis, all theat-
lical people. Mrs. Bryant, fearing that
she was 10 be found guilty of INSIDE
meanor on the same testimony upon
which she expects Davis to be found
rot guilty, applied yesterday in the
Supreme Court for an order holding up
the decision in her case until the Davis
suit is settled.
Mrs. Bryant says that the referee in
her case had found her guilty of a
charge on the evidence of one Jencks.
Her point is that the same testimony
of the same Jencks was denied by a
Mrs Mildred Harrison and her daugh-
ter when presented in the companion
action.
The Davis suit will not be ended for
several months, and Mrs. Bryant asked
that in the meantime her case be re-
turned TO the referee in order that he
may include in it the testimony given
by the Harrisons in the Davis suit.

LOOTED IN RAID
Wakefield Gets Nine Cans of
Opium and Important Pris-
oner in Chinatown.

Two separate squads of police went
into Chinatown yesterday and got a
quantity of opium and four prisoners,
one of whom they have been after for
a year and half in the belief that he
is the head and front of the distribu-
ton of the drug in New York.
The first squad was from Headquar-
tiers, in charge Of Lieutenant Sherb.
After top to bottom search of the
building at y Pell ST. they found a
small lot of what they considered TO be
opium. They took Nick Yen, of Is Pell
ST., and Charles Wong and zee Can,
both of II Doyers St, to the Elizabeth
81. station.

IMPORTS EMBARGO
CLOSES FACTORIES
Many Industries Here Fail
to Get Raw Material
and Stop Work.

The embargo on raw material i'm
ports caused by war conditions ALREADY
has caused serious trouble for many
American industries. Some factories
are closhing down completely, while
others are running on half tune. Many
thousands Of men have been thrown
out OF employment.
The Cornish piano and organ factory,
at Washington, n. j., shuS down yes
terday, because Europe is at once It's
source of supply for raw materials and
it's market for finished products. Sew
eral silk mills in the same town Will
be closed when their present supply Of
raw silk is exhausted, probably in a
few days.
Inability Of the Paterson and Pas
sale textile and silk mills 10 secure
dyestuffs is expected TO result in
wholesale shutdowns in a short time.
More than 10000 men, women and
children are employed in the mills OF
Passaic alone. Most Of them are poor,
and even a brief shutdown will mean
great hardship.
Twenty thousand longshoremen or
both sides of the river have been
thrown out of work by the holding ur
of steamships from European ports
Truckmen have not yet been affected
as great piles Of merchandise have
accumulated at the docks; but the big
trucking companies expect later TO lay
off a large number of their men, and
are preparing to aid them while out
of work.
Although many inquiries for Ameri-
can coal are coming in from the Ger
man, FRENCH, Italian, Austrian and
Russian governments, no serious at
tempts are being made to fill these
orders, which are based on the con-
tingency Of the parties being able 10
ship the coal. War and money risks
are so heavy that the American deal
ers think IL unwise 10 attempt ship
ments now. Many orders are coming
in from South American countries, &C.
cording TO c. J. Wittenberg, president
Of the Pocahontas and New River Coal
Company, but coal on English vessels
would be contraband Of war, and there
are no American ships to carry it.
At Elizabeth, n. j., several hundred
men have been laid off temporarily in
the shops Of the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey. The cause Of the lsy-oft
could not be learned.
The Standard Oil Company put
about ESQ Of its employees at Elizabeth

mace Company has laid off a number
of its employees in that city because the
export trade is at standstill.
About sixty men in the shipping de-
partment of the Singer Sewing Ma

"All injuries about Americans ~
Furone. said the statement, should
be sent direct to the state depart

Europe should be made with the lreaS-
ury Department in Washington or any
of the sub-treasuries. All inquiries
about chartering of ships or provision
of transportation should be addressed
direct TO the War Department.
with respect to the whole situa-
ton. il is desired that our citizens
view the matter with calmness and
courage, and constantly keep in mind
the difficulties which exist. They may
have the comforting assurance that
the government is using every agency
at its command to do whatever 1t Is
possible to do under the existing cir
cumstances; and the further comfort
ing thought that il is discomfort and
uneasiness which will be endured by
their friends and not actual peril or
danger"
Negotiations are still on for vessels
to bring Americans home, but it was
the hope Of the board that decisive
action at sea would solve that prob
lem. About thirty American ships are
available.
For the relief of Americans the State
Department has authorized the am

GERMANS ASK JUSTICE
Call Upon Press Of Country
for Impartial Treatment.

Tie United German-American ALI
ance, in resolutions made public yes
te .ay, called upon the press of the
country to accord impartial and just
treatment to all sides" in the European
conflict, and condemned what is styled
as the attitude of certain portions OF
an English-speaking American press to
spread impressions which lead to
hatred of Germany and Germans"
The resolution absolves the Kaiser
from responsibility for the war, and
attributes It TO Frances desire for
revenge for the loss of Alsace-Lor-
raine, Russis's unappeasable appetite
for world-power and England's jeal-
ousy of Germany"
The alliance has formed an aid So
ciety to give financial help to families
of German soldiers, and will start
similar movement among Germans
throughout the United States.
