WASHINGTON. Aug. II. - Ger
many's offer to place at the disposal
of the United States passenger
steamers which would sail under the
American flag to bring refugees home
from Europe was before members of
the government board of relief today.
Acceptance of the offer was assured,
and there were indications that some
of the other nations involved in the
European war might divert liners for
the relief of Americans stranded
abroad. If sufficient facilities are
available, it is probable that the plan
to send American transports to
Europe will be abandoned.
Secretary Garrison announced that
If ships of other powers were en-
ployed to bring stranded tourists
strictest neutrality would be pre-
served by the United States. 1t was
suggested that the refugee vessels
might be manned by American off,
GERS.
There are now thirteen of the
Hamburg American ships lying in
New York. They are the Vaterland,
the President Grant, the President
Lincoln, the Pennsylvania, the Ham
burg, the Koenig Wilhelm H., the
Armenia, the Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
the Prinz Joachim, the Allemania, TIE
Nassovia, the Pisa and the Gracia.
Mr. Garrison has asked Ambassa-
dor Gerard to furnish him with de-
tailed information about the number
of Americans in Berlin and elsewhere
in Germany who want to get home.
NEW YORK, Aug 17-More than
/ 1000 passengers, most of them Amer
loans xuIn raI1rY.iad ottf of Ei11rOnp af
the outbreak of hostilities, reached
New York today on the Cunard liner
Laconia from Liverpool. There were
143 in the first cabin. AIT in the Sec
ond and GAS in the storage. Sixty in
the storage were persons of wealth,
who could get no other accommoda-
lions.
Besides steaming at night with
lights out to avoid German warships,
the Laconia had her topsides, bridge
and tunnels painted to resemble a
steamer of the Norwegian line. On
August 10 she was spoken by the big
Aquitania, now a British cruiser.
Many of the Laconia's passengers
endured hardships in getting out of
the war zone and most of them left
their baggage behind. One man, who
said he was in Weisbaden when the
general exodus began, was obliged to
walk for miles to cross the border.
He carried his baggage on wheel
barrow, and crossed into Belgium by
way of Liege. He estimated that two
! thousand persons, Americans, Eng
fish, Belgians and others, were cross
ing at the same time.
The Laconia came straight across
the Atlantic and saw none of the en-
emy's ships.
| nv ~ l.. -.
jerne Bjornsen arrived today from
Rotterdam. Captain Reinertsen said
that when he left Rotterdam, British
battleships and cruisers were on
guard from Ostend to Brest, making
navigation of the channel difficult.
He steamed through the North Sea
and Peneland Firth, north of Scot
land, and came across the Atlantic on
a northerly course.

WOMAN CANNOT
Be A CANDIDATE

WEEHAWKEN, Aug. 17.-Mrs.
Gertrude Reilly. of 2 zorman place,
Weehawken Heights, recently an
nounced as New Jerseys first woman
candidate for the Legislature, will not
be able to enter the campaign at the
next election. An examination OF the
State constitution disclosed that
sworn affidavit of the candidates
qualifications for office Is required,
and as this qualification implies that
the swearer has exercised the vote.
Mrs. Reilly is disqualified.
This setback. however. has in no
way checked Mrs. Reilly's political
ardor. Saturday night the Socialist
party nominated her for Congress in
the Twelfth congressional district
against Congressman John J. Eagan,
and Mrs. Reilly has decided to fight
to the last ditch.

NOTED PRELATE
OFFICIATES At
PATERSON EVENT
Papal Delegate Places School
CONGRATULATIONS by
Monsignor Cody.
Special to the Evening Star.


PATERSON, Aug. 17.-Most Rev.
DR.. John Bonzano, archbishop. of Mel
tino. and apostolic delegate to the
United States, yesterday made his
first visit to the Catholic diocese of
Newark. He came here to lay the
cornerstone of the new ST Mary's
parochial school. The old school was
built by M0nsignor Whelan. of New
ark, when he was rector Of the local
church.
Monsignor Bonzano was welcomed
to Paterson by a procession number
ing thousands of Catholics. He be-
slowed the papal benediction to a
gathering at the new school esti-
mated at 5000 persons. The apos-
tolic delegate came here at the in
stance of Rev. NJ. F. McGuiness, rec
tor of st. Mary's Church.
Monsignor Patrick Cody. v. F.. of
St Jamess parish, Newark, was the
principal speaker at the cornerstone
laying. He spoke on education and
said in part:
1T is the business of the Catholic
church to educate its children and
the church realizes that education
means not merely the training of the
intellect and studies in the sciences
and arts of all kinds, but that the
heart must be educated and trained
by the mothers and teachers. The
mind and heart must be united and
the education of every child must
therefore be intellectual, moral and
religious. Education with us means
training of the mind and educating
the heart SO that the commandments
shall be kept. The church is the
teacher of morality. and the holy
father at Rome. the successor of st.
Peter, Is the great teacher. All must
learn to worship God.
Education requires good teachers
and for that purpose the Catholic
church trains men to be teachers and
not only priests We have also sisters
to teach the children and they are
not allowed to teach until they have
received thorough training them
selves. Education is a vast field for
us. We are fighting morally all the
| time for our. children's welfare and
/ since 1856, two years after the found
/ ing of the diocese, there has been a
/ law in this diocese that every church
should have a school. Now we are
having most modern schools built and
doing it all with our own resources.
/ A good education is the best legacy
people can leave to their children"
In the cornerstone were placed the
/ following: Copies of the newspapers
/ of this city, a copper casket con-
| tanning United States coins of current
year, the commemorative pamphlet
of the golden jubilee of Dean Nc
Nulty as rector of st. Johns, which
gives a comprehensive sketch of
| Catholic history in Paterson for the
past half-century, written by James
A. Sweeney, and a brass tablet three
and one-half by seven inches, con-
tanning a record of yesterdays exer-
/ cises
After the cornerstone exercises
Mgr Bonzano was taken to Newark
| by automobiles and there took train
| for Washington.

SEATON A SUICIDE,
HIS WIFE INSISTS
Accused Woman's Attorney
Says Position of Body Will
Prove Her Case.
Special to the Evening Star.

HACKENSACK, Aug. 17.-John
Kelly, a flagman at the West Shore
railroad crossing at Bogota, will prob
ably be the star witness for the de-
Tense when Mrs. Virginia Clay Seaton
is called to trial for the murder Of her
husband, Frederick r. Seaton, last
week. He says he saw Seaton mo-
ment after the shots were fired and
from his position he could not have
been shot by his wifes
Mrs. Seaton says she did not kill
her husband, and we are of the same
belief. We shall make a bitter fight
to prove her innocent of the murder
charge against her." said William B.
Mackay, jr., of Hackensack, junior
counsel for Mrs. Seaton, today.
kelly saw Seaton the moment after
the shots were fired He did not see
anything of Mrs. Seaton, and as no
one saw the shooting / don't see how
they can connect Mrs. Seaton with it..
Kelly says that when he saw Sea-
ton the actor was facing south, his
back to the door, and this bears out
our contention that Seaton shot him
self. In falling the revolver could have
dropped inside the kitchen door,
where it was picked up Mrs. Seaton
told me her husband several times
had threatened to commit suicide
since her threat to get a divorce.
He said q divorce would ruin his pro-
fessional career. Mrs. Seaton re-
marked that his threats did not
brighten her because she did not think
he had nerve enough to carry them
out"
Coroner Collins will conduct the in
quest at Hackensack tomorrow eve
ming, but whether Assistant Prose-
cutor Zabriskie will insist upon
the presence of Mrs. Seaton at
the inquiry is not known. Her
lawyers will be present, however.
Seaton's body was removed from Ri
cardos mortuary here yesterday to
Sloan's undertaking parlors in New
| York Funeral services will be held
at the Masonic Temple this evening.

JELLY FISH ON NEW JERSEY COAST
PROVES NUISANCE TO THE BATHERS

men and others who claim to know
all about the beach, is the dissolu-
ton of a Portuguese man-of-war. A
Portuguese man-o f-war, by the way,
is not ship of the Portuguese navy
of one vessel. but-get this, it's good
"a large siphonophore of the genus
Physalia. The large, etc, has blad-
der-like pneumatophore with sail
like crest on its upper side, by means
of which it floats on the surface of
the sea. Or. to speak plainly, though
unscientiflcally, Portuguese man-of-
war is a jellyfish. These fish drift
northward with the gulf stream, and
occasionally they break up into mil
lions of small particles which the
tide and wind drive inshore.
This is what has happened along
the Jersey coast. The particles first
made their appearance on Saturday,
and have been becoming thicker and
more numerous ever since.
