New York Importers viii
Urge Bryan to Request
Safety for Goods.
SINKING OF VESSELS
RAISES INSURANCE
British to Let Captured Boats
Deliver NeptralS' Shipments,
Says Page.

A committee OF New York importers
whose cargoes, shipped TO this port by
neutrals, have been sent 10 the bot
tom of the Atlantic by German cruis-
ers, went to Washington yesterday,
accompanied by counsel, to protest to
Secretary Bryan.
An effort will be made 10 have the
State Department ask the German gov
eminent 10 spare the neutral cargoes
valued at millions of dollars. even
though they are being carried by ships
of belligerent nations.
The destruction Of the British
steamship Indian Prince of the Bra2-
ilian coast, on September 8, by the
converted German cruiser Kronprinz
Wilhelm is one of the specific in
stances the importers will lay before
the State Department. She was worth
about 100000 and the German cruis-
er sent her TO the bottom with $780,
600 worth of coffee and hides paid for
by American importers and shipped by
Brazilian merchants.
The British freighter Bowes Castle,
sunk by a German cruiser on August
IS, had on board S450,000 worth Of
nitrate loaded Il An,ofagasta on July
10, two weeks before war was declared
in Europe.
As soon as these acts became known
the insurance rates for cargoes on all
vessels engaged In trade between
North and South America were in
creased per cent. On a consignment
like that aboard the Indian Prince this
would represent an increase Of S97,5OO.
II such acts continue and the rates
arc increased each time a German
cruiser sinks a British ship, steamship
service between the two American con-
tinents will practically cease.
Paul F. Gerhard, who represents the
Prince Line in this city, said he had
not received ths manifest from the
Indian Prince and did not know the
name of the importers who owned the
lost cargo.
A prominent importer, who as yet
has lost no cargo, said yesterday that
the American people will have to foot
the bills caused by the wanton de-
struction Of neutral cargo by German
war vessels. at is one thing to capt
ure goods and take them to an inter
mediate port 70 prize ISSUE" he said.
"but total destruction and the waste
and added cost Of such procedure make
an entirely different proposition"
Il was learned yesterday at the Of
fee of Funch, Edge & Co., Bridge St.,
that twenty Of the captured German
Hansa steamships would probably be
released by the British government 70
permit them to deliver their valuable
cargoes to neutral importers. Anbas-
sador Page so informed Secretary
Bryan by cable, and the message was
sent 70 Funch, Edge e. Co.

ance, Oscar Gally, Of sos West 125th
st., was found in the neighborhOod Of
his home last night. He had been miss
ing since September IS.
To all questions Gally repeated over
and over the word chinatown" at the
same time. telling people whom be
called Friedman thst he had no more
money. He was taken to Bellevue for
observation.
The police are working on the theory
that Gally was drugged and robbed.
Yesterday a note, signed Or. F." was
sent Mrs. Gally, informing her that she
would find her husband at a certain
place tonight, and that his memory
was gone,
A week ago Mrs. Gally received a let
ter stating that her husbands clothes
had been found in a Coney Island bath
house. This note, the police believe,
was designed to throw possible search
ers off the track.

MISSING" GIRL
SAFE IN OWN HONE

New York police we're busy making
inquiries here and in Princeton yes
terday, trying TO find out what became
of Miss Edna Thomas, a young Cana
dian, who arrived in the city on the
Southern Pacific liner Menus, on Mon
day. Last night Mrs. W. A. Woodcock,
the young woman's mother, telegraphed
The Tribune from Toronto that her
daughter arrived safely at her own
home.
The mystery surrounding Miss
Woodcock arose when q friend, Mrs.
Joseph Davis, Of 19i South s., Jersey
City, went 10 the Menus 10 meet the
incoming traveller. Miss WOodeock
had written she would wait in her
stateroom, but Mrs Davis learned that
the girl was one Of the first to leave
the ship, and that she went away With
two young men, one Of them a Prince
ton student. As il turned out, Miss
Woodeock had been visiting IN Los
Angeles, where the young men lived,
and as the three became great friends
on the trip north from New Orleans,
the pair looked out for the girl on her
arrival in New York.

ALL BUT 3 PORTS
IN INDIA CLOSED

Washington, Sept. 3O--Dispatches
to-day announcing that Great Britain
had named Rangoou, Calcutta and
Madras as the only ports through
which foreigners could enter India was
explained at the British Embassy as
another precaution against the wide
spread campaign of German espionage
in English territory.
The same step has been taken in
regard to entrance of aliens into the
British Isles. British officials said
the action had no connection with
baseless reports of fe;rs of the fom"n-
tation of a rebellion in India.
The open protestation of loyalty
from the Indian princes and the move
ment of thousands of native Indian
troops 10 the assistance of Great Brit
ain, it was declared, were sufficient
proof that India was united against
England's enemies.

stalks are not so easily blown down
and permit thicker planting. Thick
stalks are not so easily broken down
