Captured SHIPS
INCREASE IN
NUMBER

A number OF vessels OF large ton
mage have been added to the list OF
steamships and sailing craft reported
captured by enemies during the re-
cent development of the European
war
To Hayre, France, the Austrian
steamer Dinorah was taken. but not as
a prize; at Cape Town, South Africa,
three German steamers from Hamburg
are being detained, the Hamm. the
,Apolda and the Rufdgi; to Bombay,
India, the German Hansa liner Rhein-
falls from New York, and Warturm
from Antwerp, have been taken as
prizes. The prize court has ordered
delivery OF cargo TO the consignees, ex-
|cept to those who are German or Aus
trian subjects. .
To Calcutta, India, the following
Hansa Line steamers have been taken
as prizes: Pagenturm, Freinfels,
Frankenfels. Hohenfels, Kurmara,
Trustburg and the Austrian steamer
Perla. The American consul advises
that all neutral cargo will be undoubt-
eddy released. At Colombo, Ceylon,
the German ships Rappenfels, Trifels,
Fourth, Eteinturn, Reichenfels and
Holtenfels have been captured At
Rangoon, India, the Hamburg -Ameri-
can steamer Alesia was seized on ar
rival. but the cargo owned by neutrals'
has been released.
At Quebec, Canada, the Austrian
steamer Ida from Trieste was seized.
Subsequently, however, her cargo was
discharged, and for the reason that
she reached Canadian waters before
the declaration of war, it was permit
ted to proceed to New York under
guarantee against capture en- route.

points. All classes of stocks Joined in

Uncertainty regarding the Mexican
situation was too great for opera
lions on large scale on either side
OF the market. Nevertheless the in
creaslng hope that war might be
sVerted caused a distinctly better
ieeling, and was probably the chief
cause OF the rise in stocks today.
Metal shares were benefited by re-
vival OF demand for copper, the price
OF which was raised.
Short covering was the handspring
OF the movement. The market was
so thoroughly sold out on the recent
decline that shorts found Il difficult
TO obtain stocks for covering. There
was also an increase in outside buy.

LOOK OUT FOR THE CARS

1t is going to be unsafe in future for reckless pedestrians, drivers
or Automobiles to collide with passing railway trains. We don't mean
unsafe from a physical standpont-few will question that it already is
We mean that it is going to be unsafe from a financial standpoint to
muss up the railroad companys property, and any person who tries
to stop a train by getting in front of it will subject himself, o the
heirs to his :enains, to the possibility of a damage suit if a case o
pending in the courts is o set a precedent.
The Erie railroad has sued for 500 a maj who got in the way
of one Of its trans, with the result that TWO bars of the cowcatcher
were bent. the painting thereof married and the roadbed and adjacent
scenery Uttered up with pieces OF the careless drivers wagon. The
driver himself has been in a hospital sine he tried to III down the
train, with three ribs broken and other injuries, and is doing a little
suing himself, asking damages from the railroad company in the SUI
of $4,000. The outcome of this difference Of opinion as to who is en-
titled to pencuniary balm will be watched with considerable interest
A good many people will hold that a couple of broken Stats in a cow
catcher and a little married paint are insignificant compared with the
fracture of three human Stats and the loss of his WACO and peace of
mind by the man in the hospital, but the railroad company would prob
ably answer that equally so is their modest demand for 500 damages
compared with the unsuccessful colisionists requisnion for $4,000.
AT any rate it behooves the general public o stop look and listen
as the signs say, before venturng to ross any railroad track in the
future. 1t may save them and their heirs and assigns a lot OF trouble
and Vexation of spirit in defense of a suit for damages brought by a
souless corporation for marring the paint OF a cowchcher and defacirg
the right of way with arms legs o other debris. The railroad COM
panies are getting mighty touchy about these things.

ACROSS THE OCEAN BY AIR

A few short years ago people would tap their heads significantly
at the passing by of any n wild enough to dream OF crossing over
the Atlantic ocean lin the air. But time flies. and SC does man, and
transatlantic aviation as a subject of serious discussion n o longer
evokes rhicule. To the contrary, it is o regarded by most aviaors
