The Red Star liner Finland, flying
the American flag, arrived here yester-
day from Antwerp with 1857 passen-
gers. many Of them Americans VINO

pean war.
The vessel was crowded 20 capacity,
having 257 saloon, 2l5 second class ana
6l5 steerage passengers.
James A. Patten, of Chicago, was at
Carlsbad on August ? and hurried 70
Nuremburg by motor in the nope OF
getting out Of the country. He spent
the night at Nuremberg, and IN the
morning boarded a train for Ostend.
He thought he was on through tram
but at 10 D. m. that night he and the
others were routed from their compart-
ments and learned that they were at
the town of Herbesthal, on the Belgian
frontier.
No reason for the stop was offered,
except that the train would 90 no tur-

A German officer informed Patten that
he could hire a horse and cart and get
into Brussels by way Of Liege. lie
took this advice. and went over road
on which a day later 5000 German SOL
diers were killed by exploding mines.
At Antwerp Patten managed TO get
gold for his paper money and cashed
many of his foreign checks. He booked
passage in the saloon Of the Finland
and assisted several Americans to get
accommodations During the voyage,
according 70 the passengers, Patten
distributed money and cashed travel

He said he met party Of Ameri-

lain in German trenches before Liege
and heard the bullets Of the hostile
armies singing over their heads.
Captain Barman said he had been
stopped three times by British cruisers
in the English Channel, but had al

PLUCKING BOARD
AGAIN CRITICISED
Committee Recommends Res
toration of Captain Gibbons
Intent of Law" Violated.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. 19.-In re ort
filed with the House to-day the Naval
Affairs Committee recommends that
Captain John II. Gibbons, recently re-
tired by the naval "plucking board" be
restored to the active list The report
criticises the action of the board in
forcing the retirement Of Captain Glib
bons, formerly head of the Naval Acad-
envy saying:
at is apparent that the intent Of
the law was not carried out in the
case of Captain Gibbons, as the board
did not keep in view his special fitness,
as shown by the records
The report refers TO the testimony
OF Rear Admiral Austin VI. Knight, d
member of the retiring board, who said
that while Captain Gibbonss service
had always been creditable, he had not
seen sufficient sea duty nor had he con-
tributed materially to the advance Of
naval science.
at is not clear to the committee,
says the report, when Captain Glib
bous's special fitness caused him to be
selected as superintendent Of the Naval
Academy, one Of the two great institu-
tions that the government has estab-
lished for the training of its military
and naval officers, why he should be
considered as not having contributed
20 the progress of the navy.
II seems that in connection with every
position the captain held. some of them
being the most responsible, ne reflected
great credit upon the service, excellent
being written throughout his record.
Concerning his sea service. the record
discloses that Captain Gibbons had
considerably more service 10 his credit
than some OF those in his grade who
were not retired and against whom re-
marks appear upon the service record"

FATAL GUN FIGHT
WITH POLICE NEAR
One Slain and 2 Wounded,
While Shots Imperil
Street Crowds.

Within a block Of Police Headquar-
ters and two blocks of the Mulberry 81
station one man was killed, another
mortalv wounded and boy shot IN
the arm following an attempted ho!dup
at o'clock last night. Fifteen snots
were fired and hundreds OF persons
we're imperlled by the bullets.
The two men who did the shooting
escaped. although more than hundred
patrolmen were on the scene few
minutes after the fusillade ended.
According to the police Raffaldo
Grunaldo, OF 81 Broome St, who has
had considerable dealings at Police
Headquarters in the last year, was
standing with two unidentified com
ranions in front of a shoe store at lol
Mulberry st. Another man, accom-
panied by two women, approached from
Grand ST. Grunaldo accosted the man
and suddenly all hands were involved
in an encounter II is alleged that
Grunaldo attempted to snatch a dia-
mond stud from the man he assailed.
A crowd was Immediately attracted
BY the melee, but dispersed AS quickly
when three shots were hred from as
many angles. Other shots followed IN
quick succession.
When the police arrived three forms
were stretched on the pavement: Al
Grand and Mulberry SITS. they
found Fernando Donforte, a pedler, OF
s. Mulberry ST.. with bullet wound
in his throat. He died before a ply
stefan arrived. Dcnforte was not IN
the controversy and was running Tor
safety when shot.
Grunaldo IVES found in front of the
shoe store with a bullet wound IN ms
right breast. He was removed to 81.
Vincent's Hospital. where it was said
he would die. The third victim was Pas
quale Anadile, twelve years old, OF l26
Mulberry st. He had a bullet in his
right elbow.
A search of the neighborhood failed
70 disclose the whereabouts OF the two
men who did the shooting. Their es-
cape was made easy through the tact
that the terrorized residents in Null
berry ct. scampered down into base
ments, in Railways and other close
places of refuge when the hring be
gan. Grunado steadfastly refused 10
give the names of his companions.
Grunaldo was taken into custody
three weeks ago when Mrs. Rose Volpe,
Of 81 Elizabeth ST., was found with her
throat cut. according to Captain Kins-
Ter. Gunaldo often had been seen IN
her company, but she declined 70 iden-
tify him as her assailant when the
police brought him before her.

Elk Chief of Court of Appeals
Urges His denomination.

Edgar w. Cullen, former chief judge
Of the Court OF Appeals, came out yes
terday in favor Of the nomination Of
Governor Martin II. Glynn. At his
home in Brooklyn. Judge Cullen gave
out this view Of the Governors record:
"lt seems very clear TO me that the
Democrats should nominate Governor
Glynn. That is not only the dictate Of
justice, but OF wisdom as well. He ha.
made an excellent Governor, having
done good work in restricting public
expenditures by vetoing many appro-
priations, thus saving the people from
taxation, the burden of which is al
ready hard to bear.
His appointments to Office have, as
"A whole. been Of nigh order. and IN
all respects he has measured up to the
requirements Of his Office"

DANCERS TO the Eye.

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical flu
minating expert. and DIR. f. H. Yer
hoeff, an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al
legged dangers to the eye from ultra
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many Sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects of ultra
violet or actinie rays, but these have
entirely neglected any cumulative
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects" Very
little OF these rays can penetrate the
corfea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that struggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude.
in cutting off dazzling lights and un-
due heat.

Go to Jerusalem to Die.

That Jewish immigrants have 80
well adapted themselves to local con-
ditions in Jerusalem as to practically
monopolze a greater part OF such
trade as exists" is stated in consular
report on Jerusalem. 1t is impossible
to give an exact estimate of the popu-
lation of Jerusalem, and although it is
believed that 1t figures at 10000,
$4,000 might perhaps be a more cor
rect estimate. 1t is, roughly speak
ing, composed of $4,000 Christians,
10000 Mohammedans and 10000 Jews,
many of whom are immigrants from
Russia.
1t is remarked that in spite of the
emigration of many Jews to escape
military service there has still been
a marked increase in this section of
the population on account of the con-
tinuous influx of aged Jews. who come
with the intention of ending their days
in Palestine.
