Boatswain f. Schultz was in charge
of the armed picket boat of the Utah,
and. together with the picket boats of
the Florida, was ordered to draw upon
his launch the fire from the Naval
/ Academy which was turned upon the
bluejackets. In performing this haZ-
ardous duty the boat was hit many
times, and two of Schultz's command
were wounded and one died. For thus
making a target of himself to save HIS
comrades the admiral neglected TO
mention Schultz. So his shipma.cs
asked that The Tribune mention him.
A "boy officer" who performed un-
usual duties to the satisfaction Of
everybody was Ensign Paul +. Foster,
commanding the third company Of the
Utah battalion. The Jail fell to his
lot, and for six days Foster, who is
but twenty-four years old, vas in u

Rich young MeXicans brought be-
fore him for creating disorder, to
whom a fine would have meant
nothing. he made sweep the streets,
while their friends sat under the por-
tales and laughed at them. MurdererS
he placed under guard and forced
them to dig graves for the dead. One
night an order came that Admiral
Fletcher wished to make a tour of in
spection, and within an hour wanted an
automobile. Foster went into the "bull

awaiting punishment. "If any Of you, >
Foster announced, "can get back n2rc

On April 2S Captain John H. Glib
bons. of the Utah, as commander of the
1st Regiment, took up his headquGr-
tiers at the Dilgencias Hotel, which
was situated in the heart Of his dis
trict. His regiment consisted of bat
talions from the battleships North Da-
kota, Arkansas, Florida, New York and
his own ship. His regimental staff, all
from the Utah, were his adjutant, Lieu
tenant A. S. Carpenter; his aid, Lieu
tenant Lamar r. Leahy, who the day
before, when the Ypiranga finally ar
rived, had been given the detail Of
boarding her and forbidding her to
land her cargo; Paymaster C. J. Peo-

For the Americans in Vera Cruz the

CAUSES SSONE TROUBLE
Eastern Shore Men Have
Difficulty Getting Lone
Monthly Gallon Now
SHIPPERS PUSH
UP THE RATES

BALTIMORE, Md. May 2-The
aiti-shipping law which the Legis-
lature passed for the Eastern shore
is making no end OF trouble for some
people. and the funniest part Of it is
that one of the men most troubled
is Public Service Commissioner AL
bert c. Towers-the fun arising from
the fact that it was State Senator
Harvey l.. Cooper, of Caroline coun-
ty who took the lead In advocat-
ing the law. and Senator Cooper and
Commissioner Towers were law and
business associates for years and are
considerably more intimate than
brothers usually are.
The first shot out of the box was
when the Tolchester Steamboat Com
pany applied to the Public Service
Commission for permission TO in
crease its freight rates for liquor
shipments on one days notice. The
company based it's plea upon the fact
that the new law holds transportation
companies criminally liable If they
deliver to any one resident Of the
Shore more than ono gallon OF liquor
or six dozen bottles of beer In
month.
That, of course. means that the
transportation companies must keep
records of shipments transported by
them and rather elaborate records, at
that. The Tolchoster company,
therefore asked permission to in
crease its rates 100 per cent, and the
Public Service Commission acceded.
II is expected that the other trans
portation companies viii do the
same
Chief among those who expect this
are the liquor dealers, and they ara
exceedingly unhappy Yesterday af-
ter it became known that permission
to increase rates had been given the
Rochester company, a protest was
filed with the Public Service COM
mission signed boy great number Of
liquor dealers They seem TO be de
/ termined TO fight the rate increases
and asked for and obtained a date
/ for a hearing of their side Of the
case before the commission.
Il is probable that there Will be
/ a hard fight between the transporta-
4 ton companies and the liquor men.
/ Curiously, the Transportation people in
dicate that they would as soon be free
Of the entire business, but cannot re-
+ fuse legitimate consignmcnts and
consequently must get what they be-
4 lieve to be fair rates.
In the shuttle Il Is possible that
something may happen that will de-
priye the poor Shoreman of even his
one gallon a month. There is just
a chance that by the time the trans.
portation people and the liquor deal
I ers get through the outcome viii b'
"such a costliness" that the gallon pei
month will not be worth it, although
one Eastern Shoreman remarked tina
a limitation of one gallon mont
ought to make that gallon worth no
less than a million dollars to any rea
Eastern Shoreman.
