SUSPECT CONTRABAND
ABOARD THE BRINDILLA
Cleared for Egypt, But Was Headed
Another. Way When Taken,
Is Canadian Report.

HALIFAX. n. s., October 19.-Just
what plan would be pursued with regard
to the American tank steamer Brindilia,
seized by the British auxiliary cruiser
Caronia and brought here yesterday,
could not be learned today. 1t is sup
posed that the Brindil1a. which was
formerly the German steamer Washing
ton, was suspected of having contraband
aboard. 1t is also reported that when
she was halted by the Caronia outside
of New York harbor last Tuesday she
was steering a course at variance with
the ordinary course for her announced
destination. She cleared from New
York for Alexandria, Egypt.
1t was thought possible that the ques-
ton whether the transfer of the
Brindilla from German to American
registry was a TRANSACTION in good faith
might be considered by the admiralty
court.
The purchase of the steamer from the
Riedermann line by the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey was announced
September 81.

THIRTY SENT TOPR|SON
FOR ANT|-GERMAN RIOTS
Demonstrations Continue in Parts of
London Today, But Are Not as
Severe as at First.

| LONDON, October 10. SOS p.m.-More
than thirty prisoners were arraigned in
| the Greenwich police court today on
| charges growing out of anti-German
demonstrations and rioting in Dept
| ford borough of London yesterday and
| last night.
| The prosecutor declared that he re-
GREETED the necessity of appearing
against citizens, the object of whose
attack had been German shopkeepers,
but he explained that great damage
had been done to English premises as
well.
Commenting on the damage done in
the shop of German baker, the prose-
cutor said that the place had been loot
ed, in spite of the fact that the Ger
mans had barricaded themselves as best
they could against the crowd. The
prisoners were remanded
English Lawyers House Attacked.
Though there was a sporadic recur-
renee of rioting in parts of London
early this morning, police protection in
such places has been increased, and no
serious outbreaks were reported during
the forenoon in the city, but at Saffron
mouse was attacked and the windows
smashed because it was said he had
! oeen harDorlng two Germans. In the
continuation of rioting at Deptford last
night a German grain dealers house
anu ~, store were wrecked and then fired.
Ihe noting during Saturday night
seems to have been more general than
, was at hrst supposed. Nearly a dozen
SHOPS were wrecked. Damage was done
IN the Deptford borough and In Old
hent road. In the former district sew
era1 stores were attacked and one was
set af1re. In Old Kent road meat mar
kets were smashed. and this was fol-
lowed by the wrecking of confection-
cry store yesterday morning. Some of
the shops were pillaged.
Police were called out and twenty ar
rests were made. Precautions have
been taken to prevent further rioting.
Crowd Defies Po1ica.
Great excitement prevailed through
out Sunday in Deptford and neighbor-
ing boroughs. Crowds thronged the
streets and refused to move at the
order of the policemen and soldiers.
1t was found that twenty bakeries,
butcher shops and saloons were COM
pletely wrecked. The rioters threat
ened to attack German places in Brom-
ley and other boroughs if the authori-
ties permitted them to open.
The rioting was led by 100 dock
1aborers who had been turned out of
lodging house to make room for Bel
gian refugees. The men gathered in
German saloon and smashed the win
dows and the bar. The lockers charged
the owner of the saloon with having
started a report that two British bat
tleships had been destroyed. The shop
of a German butcher, in the window of
nf n
was displayed, was wrecked.
Rioting proceeded for a distance OF
about a mile before it was stopped by
detachment of soldiers. The shop
keepers all lived above their places of
business. and their apartments were
sacked. Twenty men were captured in
one house. They had thrown piano
down the stairway, and the instrument
became jammed and held them
prisoners.

CANADIAN TROOPS FILL
TH|RTY-0NE TRANSPORTS
Conveyed by Armada of Battleships,
Fleet Presents Imposing
Spectacle.

NEW YORK, October ia line Of
gray transports led by pilot boat and
two British cruisers and fanked by an
armada of battleships, cruisers and de-
stroyers-line so long that it laid the
smudge of it's smoke against the sky
as far as sailors could see to the east
and west-such was the fleet and Its
conveys that carried .Canada's troops to
England as glimpsed from the decks
of the Minnewaska, $40 miles from the
mouth of the Thames October 10.
officers of the steamer told Of the
spectacle upon her arrival here today.
Thirty-Two Transports in Line.
There were thirty-two transports in
the line and they churned the water of
one another's wakes at distances of
half mile to mile" Each transport
few the British flag and each was
painted the battle color of the sea,
steel gray, even to the tunnels. Well
to the front of the long line, perhaps
Ave miles in advance, steamed the
leader-apparently sent ahead to make
sure the way was clear, for she carried
no troops-with a cruiser to the star
board and another to port forward.
All the transports were converted
passenger liners or merchantmen, and
some of them were recognized. or at
least it is thought they were. by the
Minnewaska's officers, who viewed the
maritime procession through glasses.
The Lapland and the iceland were in
the feet. but all the names had been
painted over, SO the officers were I'M
certain about the others.
Fleet Moved in Three Lines.
The fleet really moved in three lines,
the transports with a line of warships
on each side. Among the warships were
many torpedo boat destroyers, sent out
from British ports to reinforce the
larger war craft as the fleet neared it's
destination October 10 there was brill
liant sunshine. the sky was cloudless
and the distance of the Minnewaska
from the line about five miles.
Notwithstanding the fact that the.
British ensign foated over the liner, a
cruiser darted out from the line of con-
voys, circled the Minnewaska, came
quite close and steamed alongside till
the last transport was speck on the
horizon. Then the cruiser turned about
and steamed away without word, to
join the rear guard.
More Canadians Reach England.
MONMOUTH, England, via London.
October 10, 1850 ANA well known
Atlantic liner arrived here today,
bringing a large number of Canadian
troops to augment those already en-
camped in England. The first news the
townspeople had of their arrival was
the sound Of the fife and the drum in
the street The men entrained imme
diately for a destination not announced.
OTTAWA, Ontario. October 19-With
$4,000 Canadian volunteers already
landed in England, and 5000 under
arms guarding strategic points in the
Dominion, the government has decided
to put 10000 men into training in Can
ada and dispatch them to England in
units of 10000. The first 10000 is to-be
sent forward in December and another
o. 600 raised to take their places. Thus
1000 men are continuously to be kept
in training, to be drawn upon in units
of 10000 as soon as equipped, during
the continuance of hostilities.

lies and ourselves" the report analyses
the present problems as follows:
Because of the war Latin American
countries are confronted by the neces-
sity of marketing their products. despite
the shrinkage of world purchasing
crops and to continue indispensable in
dustrial and agricultural development
normally financed by Europe.
The United States is confronted by
the necessity of holding its normal ex-
port trade with Latin America and by
the possibility of increasing that trade
by filling Latin American needs for
merchandise hitherto purchased in
Europe which Europe cannot now sup
ply:
THE solution of these problems de-
pends upon production, and upon
financing of production, transportation
and settlements.
Production in the United States can
be maintained if there be sufficient
market at home and abroad for Ameri-
can goods. Production in South Amer
lea may continue but cannot be further
developed unless financial assistance be
obtained.
Before trade can resume it's normal
course the exchange problem must be
solved. either by restoration of old or
by establishment Of new credit facil-
tiles.
The question of creating a market
for Latin American securities in the
United States is highly important. The
development Of our trade with those
countries is largely dependent on it's
satisfactory solution. Unless the re-
|Str1ct1on Of commercial credits be
remedled. however, We will not be able
to extend our trade, but We will lose
IA considerable. portion of that which
We already have"
Committees Recommendations.
Your committee begs to state it's be-
lief that the present disorganization OF
the trade of the United States with
Latin America may best be remedied
and placed on permanently satisfac-
tory basis by:
"First-The establishment of dol
lar exchange, through the ultimate
creation of a discount market and
pending the esta blishment of dis
quate accommodation by banking in
stitutions, and the establishment OF
reciprocal balances in the United States
and in Latin America for financing
Latin American trade.
Standardization of our selling
machinery by furnishing additional
support to commission hcouses familiar
with Latin American business: by
forming associations of merchants and
manufacturers to be jointly represent
ed in Latin America, and by obtaining
information as to the possibilities OF
developing retail stores in large Latin
American cities"

FINNISH MINER
 SHOT ATTACKING
 MAYOR 0F BUTTE
Assault Outgrowth of Min CTS Attempt to Deport
 Union Organizer.

Butte, Mont, July 3.-Erick Lan- tala, a Finnish miner, made an at tempt to assassinate Mayor Louis J.. Duncan this afternoon. As he drew a knife the mayor whipped out revolv- CT and shot his assailant in the ab- domen and liver. Despite his wounds, Lantala succeeding in staAding the mayor three times. Mayor Duncan will live. Lantala is expected to die. The mayors wounds consist of stab in the right side of the neck, which narrowly missed the jugular vein, a wound in the left side of the neck and wound in the left shoulder. Mayor Duncan is Socialist.
 The attempt on the mayors life is the outgrowth of a fight the Finnish miners have been making to compel him to deport Frank Altonen, former ly an organizer in Michigan for the Western Federation of Miners and now correspondent for Finnish pa per at Hancock.
 At mass meeting yesterday, the Finnish miners passed resolutions call ing upon the mayor to deport Altonen on the ground that he was menace to the community. When delegation waited on the mayor he told the members that he was without au- thority to make the deportation.
 Lantala had been arrested on a charge of assaulting Oscar Catture, a friend of Altonen's. When brought before Judge Bocher, he pleaded in- ability to understand English. Asked as to how long he had been in Butte. he replied twelve years. The judge thereupon sentenced him to jail "to study English" Friends secured his release today and he immediately went to the mayors office. He is a giant statue, while the mayor is a small man. He immediately crowded Mayor Duncan into corner and de- manded loudly:
 How about Frank Altonen, he's making a lot of trouble"
 How is he making trouble?" asked the mayor. .
 "I'll show you,' replied Lantala,

Evidence at Inquest in Mur- der Mystery Against
 Doctors Wife.
MRS. CARAVAN IS
 HELD A PRISONER
Following Identification of PhySi- cian'S Wife as Woman Seen Acting SuspiciOusly, She Is Put t'n-
 der Surveillance.

Freeport, N. Y., July 3.--Ln con- t1ast with the apathetic view of he ,ccal authorities yesterday the same officials today were decidedly active in their investigations of the mystery surrounding the fatal shooting of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the office of pr. Edwin Carman.
 Extra policemen were sworn In and every effort was made to round up all persons supposed to have either direct or indirect knowledge ct the circumstances of the tragedy. At the coroner's inquest today, Mrs Florence Conklin Carman, who is alleged to have listened to the
 ccHversatio nbetween her husband
 aid women patients by means of a
 secretly-installed dictagraph, sat on
 the witness stand for almost an hour
 ard-ahalf-, replying promptly and
 calmly to all questions regarding her
 knowledge of the strange tragedy.
 Mrs. Carman stuck to her original
 story in which she stated that at
 the time of the shooting she was up- stairs in her own room, having re- tired immediately after supper be- cause of a headache. She admitted having been jealous of her husband and having quarreled with at least one woman with whom she suspect
 ci he had been too friendly, but de- n;ed even having seen Mrs. Bailey until after the shooting.
 Client Contradicts Woman.
 George Colder, the farm hand who sat in the ante room of Dr. Carman's office when the fatal shot was fired gave testimony in direct contradiction l to that of Mrs. Carman and identified her positively as the woman he saw sitting on the porch while Mrs. Bailey was in the doctors office and as the woman he had seen stealing through the house from the front to tbc rear a few minutes before the shooting occurred. Goldep identi- fled Mrs. Carman as she stood beside her sister, Mrs. Ida Powell.
 At the close of today's session ol | the inquest, Mrs. Carman was notlfl- ed that she must consider herself as being practically under arrest and | that if she attempted to leave her home, she would be take ninto custo-
 dy and lodged in jail as material l witness. Mrs. Carman, when this an nouncement was made by Chief o1 Police Lamb, did not collapse or De- 1 tray any indication of worry. To- light sereval policemen kept close l to the Carman house to guard agalns'
 the possibility of any one leaving or
 entering without proper redentials. l Dr. Carman, when informed of the
 decision by the coroner, protested
 that he and Mrs. Carman had intend
 ed making a motor trip over the
 holiday, but was informed that the decision could not be altered an6 Mrs. Carman must remain at home.
