SANTA CLAUS SHIP DODGES
DANGERS TO REACH u. S
Nooderdyk Misses Mines and Passes
Inspections of Warships.

Santa Claus took long chances in send
ing a cargo Of Christmas toys to this
city. in the steamship NOoderdvk. which
arrived here today from Rotterdam after
| having safely lodged mine fields of the
North Sea and the English Channel and
passing the inspection OF d half dozen
warships flying the flag Of Great Britain.
Captain de Koning, master of the
Nooderdyck, said il was risky navigating
IN the North Sea, because of mine fields
laid by both England and Germany.
Every possible preCaution was taken by
Captain de Koning TO prevent his vessel
from running into the submerged mines
Life boats were slung out over the side
in readiness for immediate launching.
w nile Captain de koning was doing his
best to keep away from this danger. he
was stopped by British torpedoboat
destroyer After halting the NooderdylS
oy wireless, an officer was sent aboard
He examined the manifest OF the ship
and its other papers Convinced that the
toys were not COntraband, the NooderdvES
was permitted 10 proceed This same pro
cedure was gone through four more times
before the vessel was clear of the Eng
lish Channel
The master Of the steamship believed
he had safely lodged all danger when he
steamed out into the Atlantic Ocean, but
when he was 100 miles off the English
coast the British cruiser Sutlege bore
down on him and again the papers were
examined, This was the last time ships
OF war interfetTed with the movements
Of the Santa Claus ship.
Unloading Of the toys began as soon as
the Nooderdyk docked at the foot Of
Washington avenue. Cases containing
articles which will delight thousands of
children on Christmas day were swiftly
swung out NJ the holds, placed on drays
ana auto trucks and hurried to their
destinations The number Of cases, how
ever, is SO great that II will be another
day before all Of the goods are delivered.

WATCH FOR FRESHIES' PROC
All-night Vigils Aim to Forstall a
Surprise.

Sleepless nights will be in order for
the members of the sophomore class at
the University of Pennsylvania this
week, for they have the job of keep
ing the freshmen from putting up their
poster. If the freshmen are to uphold
the Pennsylvania traditions. they must
put up n poster on the rear door of
College Hall some night this week and
keep it there until o. clock in the morn
ing. So any morning the Dorms may
be awakened by the cry OF "All out to
witness a class scrap before sunrise.
Only the freshieS know the night the
posting is to be done. Ignorance of this
detail makes it necessary that numerous
sophomores forego sleep this week to
prowl about the campus in the hope of
forstallng a surprise. The sophomores
have worked out an elaborate plan of
attack. Tho class has been divided into
watches, and by means of system of
quiet mobilization hopes to crush the
hrst-year men in record time.

Governor Signs Lease for Apartments
on Spruce Street.

Recent reports that Governor Tener
will make his home in this city at the
end of his term were confirmed today
when he signed lease for an apartment
on Spruce street
Governor Tener said that while he ex-
pocted to spend much of his time in
Philadelphia, he would still consider
Charleroi his legal residence He paid a
high tribute to his old acquaintances in
that Washington County town, whom he
characterized as my best friends"
He said the report that the headquar-
ters Of the National League would be
removed from New York to Philadelphia
was without foundation
He would not discuss the subject of
politics, except to remark 'I shall take
an interest In Pennsylvania politics; Just
how active 1 cannot say except that 1
always hope to be In a position to help
my friends and advocate such principles
as 1 know are right"

CHILDREN FREELY
SEND THEIR MITES TO
CHRISTMAS SHIP
Presbyterian Orphanage, Pu-
pills of John Barry School
and Others Contribute to
the Relief of War Suf-
,ferers.

Filled with pity and sympathy for the
little European children whom the war
has put in position similar 70 their own
the children of the Presbyterian Or
phanage sent S73S to the Christmas ship
pavilion this morning.
IL isn't so very much. compared to some
OF the other contributions but every cent
represents a real sacrihce-some great
priNation. Penny by penny II has been
amassed. Many of the children who were
sent on long distance errands walked in
order TO give the cents which should
have been spent in carfare; others have
contributed all Of the pin-money which
was to have provided their winter pleas
ure.
The pupils of the Commodore John
Barry School, Seth and Race streets, we're
also early Monday morning contributors.
They sent in $5.25 in cash and So Christ
mas stockings filled with all of the
'scrumptious' things calculated to fill
with JOY the hearts OF the little boys and
girls who receive them on Christmas
morning-doll babies, mechanical toys and
what not. Santa Claus himself could not
have done better. In addition they sent
along 70 empty stockings which they had
left in the hope that some charitably
inclined person would fill them before
Wednesday afternoon.
From Swarthmore came $50 and 72
pairs of shoes, the latter having been
collected by a little boy, who refused
to give his name.
Early this morning the Christmas
Ship pavilion looked as bare as Mother
Hubbard's cupboard. All of last weeks
donations had been packed into Il huge
cases to make room for the influx of
gifts expected the next three days be-
fore the campaign closes. But scarcely
had an hour passed before contributions
began to pour in and at noon today
every counter was so piled with stock
ings. dresses and Juvenile underwear
that It was hard to believe that any
thing had been taken away.
Ninety-two cities in the United States
are working tooth and nail to make the
expedition of the Jason n huge success,
but it is doubtful II any of them will
make the showing that Philadelphia is
going to make. one thousand six hundred
dollars in cash contributions alone, have
been collected by the Child Federation
and this Will buy many a remembrance

Handful From Her Head.

Evidence in the form of handful Of
hair was placed before Magistrate Belcher
today by Mrs. Mary Smith to prove that
her husband had been cruel to her Ac-
cording to the woman, the hair was torn
from her head during an argument at the
Smith home, 2l1 North 18th street
The woman declared her husband had
given her no money for a year, and it
was while they were discussing this do
mestlo problem thst the trouble arose.
1t was not until James Smith, a 10-year-
old son. told Policeman Slook that his
father was pulling his mother around the
room by the hair that the bluecoat inter-
fered.
II took Smith so long to get ready an
explanation that Magistrate Belcher sent
him to the County Prison for ten days to
arrange his defense, which he said would
be elaborate"
