Need of Railway Waiting Room.
The absence of a waiting room at the

federal officials were blamed for the alb
sence. 1t was shown that the associa-

er of these two branches of authority
would grant a permit for the erection. A
strong resolution was adopted last even

DODGING FOE FOR
100 DAYS, GERMAN
SHIP MAKES PORT
Bark Safe at New York
With Nitrate Cargo Grown
in Value From $125,O0O to
100000.

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-The German ship
Indra, rlgged to royals. which had eluded
in voyage of 16o days from Taltal. Chill,
covering 1900 miles. several squadrons
of British cruisers on the lookout for
German prizes, arrived here yesterday.
The Indra is indeed a prize, with 1920
tons of nitrate of soda, material for
ammunition for the warning nations
which, when the IndIa sailed from Taltal
on June II, was valued at about 1926 900,
and now may be sold for nearly million.
This her skipper. Captain Willy Karstadt,
says is one OF the fortunes of war, and
he is going to hold on to II because he
cannot take 1t to its English owners in
Dunkirk and cannot communicate with
his agents in Hamburg
Captain Karstadt jubiIantly related the
yarn OF his artful lodging in two stormy
oceans to evade capture. He might have
been sailing on the planet Mars up to
August 26. so far as his knowledge of
happenings on this sphere went. He was
then two months and a half out and had
Just crossed the Equator, going from the
South Atlantic into the North Atlantic.
The frolics incidental to crossing the
line, including a visit from Neptune. per-
sonated by a German tar. had been in
dulged in when Swedish freight steam
ship was spoken by a megaphone and
asked about the news OF the world ashore.
The response to the question sent over
the wave from the Swede nearly knocked
the German skipper or his feet. He
learned that all the world was at war
with his country and that cruisers were
out after German prizes In all the seven
or more seas. The mate and the 10 Ger
man seamen were habbergasted.
