COURT ASKED TO

Owners of Fran and Som

Move to Save Boats From
Hands of Warning Powers.

A demand to order the unloading OF
the Norwegian tramp steamboats, Fran
and Sommerstad. now lying In the Della
ware River. has been filed with the
United States District Court today by
Ralph NJ. Bullowa, New York attorney,
representing the owners of the vessels,
who do not propose to have them seized
by warning powers by carrying supplies
to German men OF war or the American
coast. The court has reserved an opinion.

nations of the Norwegian steamships

chor in the Delaware River, has

bic. Ovnors, agents and others are
now rushing to cover. The expose was
due TO the efforts OF Christian Moe,
Norwegian Consul at this port, and

company, who asserts that his company

Mr.. Bullowa, after notifying their own
ers, the A. f. Klaverness & Co.. of
Haugesend. Norway. and II. NJ. Wrangel
& Co.. OF Christiania, Norway.
CONSUL GETS SUSPICIOUS.
Consul Noes suspicion was first aroused
by Captain Axelsen and Captain Grinheim.
They told him they were to sail under
sealed orders and things didn't look just
right" They said that they were in duty
bound to the steamship owners to carry
the cargoes to their destinations, but they
did not believe the owners knew anything
about the shipment of supplies to Ger
man warships
A few days later the captains told Mr.
Moe that agents of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can Line had sent them offers of big
bonuses for immediate sailings. This was
during the time the masters of the steam
ships were awaiting advice from home.
The advice came and told them to con-
suit an attorney. Then the conference
with the dictograph as a witness was ar
ranged.

action at the office OF William j. Grand

CITY WILL WAR ON RATS
UNTIL PESTS ARE GONE
Conference This Morning Planned to
Rush the Pursuit Vigorously.

That Philadelphias threat to eXtermi-
nate the rats here is not an idle one
was quite evident IN a meeting held TINS
morning under the supervision or
Director Harte and Thomas Martin
dale In the Chamber of Commerce,
where the rat, his antecedents and camp
followers Cthe fleasI were thoroughly dis
cussed from every angle. The rat must
60, that Is all there Is to it, and per-
lnanent committee was formed this morn
inr to sec that his departure Is as speedy
as possible.
OF course some will miss the little
friends when they are no more and many
dnrbtless will spend seepless nights
vainly listening for the scamper of tiny
feet along the walls and the ecstatic
snucals of delight that accompany the
nightly revel but the powers have de-
creed that this too expensive pet is dan
grrnus, or rather the little feas that
follow him so devotcdly are. Philadelphia
is taking no chances on the bubonic
plague. II will be much cheaper and
more satisfactory to act now than to
wait until later, when there might be
disease as well as rats and fieas to eX-
terminate.
No new ideas for the carrying on of
this war have been advanced, but all of
the old tactics will be pursued and with
hitherto unknown vigor. In the mean
time those who have any particularly
nne rats they would hate to lose are
advised TO ship them to foreisn parts,
or the rat catcher II get 'em, if they
don't watch out"
