the state department had received
any word of the reported landing Of
American marines at Beirut, Syria.
Officials were inclined to be slow in
crediting the report, though they ad-
mitted that it was entirely possible
that the armored cruiser North Caro-
lima, now in Beirut harbor, had sent
a detachment Of marines ashore at
the request of the American consul
there.
1t was pointed out that If the la
ines had been landed the North Caro-
lina's commander in all probability
has acted under an understanding
with the local authorities to furnish

SULZER DEFENDANT
IN MYSTERY SUIT
Miss Dorothy Agan Mason Files
Summons, BIT Refuses to
Explain Action.

William Sul2cr was yesterday made
the defendant in a mysterious suit filed
in the Supreme Court by Miss Doro-
thy Agan Mason, of $40 West saith st.
So far only the summons In the case
has been fled, Miss Mason ap caring
as attorney in person. She was au-
thority for the statement that her &C
tion was for services, but refused to
tell what these services were or how
much she sought to collect.
The summons showed that it was
served on Sulzer last Friday night az
the Mckinley Square Casino, Tie
Bronx, where he spoke in his primary
campaign. Miss Mason tried to file the
summons in the County Clerks Office
on Saturday. Having no attorney,
however, she had at that time failed
to obtain an affidavit o. service from
the process server.
Sulzer said, when told about the suit,
that he was unable to recall Miss
Mason. He knew nothing about the
action, he said, although the affidavit
of service is written on the summons
filed by Miss Mason.
Miss Mason Is the owner of several
barges and has been operating in COM
petition with what she has called the
hbarge trust" Some time ago she
bought a moving picture theatre in
The Bronx. She wrote letter to the
Mayor, complaining that an attache of
the Bureau of Licenses was trying to
extort money from her.

The aviator made two fights, during
both of which he frequently looped the

side down and in other ways fairly
toyed with death. Starting from the
Ellipse, south Of the White House, he
sscended the first time at II o'clock,
few around the monument several
times and then TO the Capitol, where
ne thrilled the members of Congress
by skirting the Goddess Of Liberty,
waving both hands at the awe-struck
spectators and performing other mar
yellous feats.
Returning to the Ellipse, Beachey
made sensational landing, plunging
earthward at a terrific rate of speed.
The several thousand people who wit
messed the descent thought that the
aviator had been dashed to death, and

Veteran Merchant Tells
Business Men to
Cheer Up.

THE PEOPLE, HE SAYS
"Tkere'll Always Be Business to
Do and the Man Who Works

An TeIerraph % T,he TrIbune.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2s.--John WanR-
maker expressed his firm belief to-day
that the present business depression is
only temporary. The statement was
uttered at a luncheon attended by
members Of the Walnut Street Busi-
ness Association, Rotary Club and the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton at the St. James.
Business is at present in condi-
ton Of unpleasantness, unhealthfulness
and fear" he said. "0ur present need
is to discover the best way to get bust
ness on the double track of safety, out
of the darkness into the light, to find a
way for courageous feet and to sec q
vision Of returning good times.
"My great hope, indeed, may say
my firm belief, to-day is that this con-
dition is only temporary. We can
shorten it, and it is our duty not to
talk down but to talk up. We must
first get ourselves in an optimistic
frame Of mind, for the man who is dis
couraged can discourage the man who
is next to him. II man has health and
strength he has no right going about
with long face. He only makes things
harder for himself and for those about
him.

but conditions that exist are here. They
are not simply the result of politics or
Of war in Europe. The tariff has had
3 great deal to do with the unrest and
the closing Of mills, because capital
cannot be had as usual.

railroads, Who make long notes and
pay commissions. This takes money
away and locks it up. Your little de-
post looks like nothing against rail-

bonds and serve railroads. They were
made to serve the people, to help those
who makes it possible for people to pay
the landlord, the grocer and the doctor.
Men who are doing business should
have the very first consideration from
the banks.

be business to do, and the man who

WILSON INSISTS ON
SHIPPING MEASURE
Revolt in Party Over Bill
Fails to Shake His
Resolve.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington, Sept. 28.--In the face Of
the most serious opposition he has YET
encountered within his own party,
President Wilson communicated to
House leaders to-day his desire that
the ship purchase bill, which would
embark the United States upon the
business of operating steamship lines,
be passed before Congress adjourns.
The President is aware of the revolt
which has arisen among House Demo.
Gratis over the shipping bill, but is said
to be anxious to overcome this opposi-
ton, and insists that the legislation be
enacted.
The stand of the President, which
possibly may be reversed after further
Investigation of the extent of and rea-
sons behind the party instruction.
came as n disappointment to the rank
and file of the House, who had hoped
that the shipping bill would be side
tracked. Approximately 100 Democrats
have been polled against the bill in the
canvass made by leaders of the opposi-
tion movement, but it is conceded that
If the President demands action many
Of these will weaken under the party
lash
Mr.. Underwood, who went TO the
White House to-day with Representa-
tive Alexander, author of the shipping
bill, informed his colleagues that the
date for recess or adjournment depend
cd largely upon the final decision
reached about the shipping measure.
Mr.. Mann, during the debate to-day,
asked the majority leader to outline the
legislative programme and the chances
for a respite. Mr.. Underwood said he
would enter into an agreemnt for a
recess following the passage of the
Philippine bill and the adoption of con-
ference reports on the antitrust and
rivers and harbOrs bills, provided the
shipping bill is not TO be taken up
now"
81 am unable to say now whether the
shipping bill will be considered at this
time" said Mr.. Underwood. "a final
decision has not been reached, but will
be within a short time probably"

of the same type as the Greasy, Abou-
kir and Hogue, recently sunk IN the
North Sea. She steamed directly IN

cruiser Caronia.
The Caronia has lain in one spot for
the last two days, apparently keeping
an eye on the North German Lloyd
liner Barbarossa, which, although. pro-
tected by the neutral waters Of the
United States, is in plain sight OF the
British feet, 1t was reported that the
German vessel contemplated a sudden
dash to sea. The idea is secuted by
her owners, however.
The Norwegian steamer hrlstanla-
ford, which reached New York yester-
day from Bergen, was stopped by the
Caronia, and several officers boarded
her before allowing her to proceed.
The Kristianiafjord brought l,loo pas

There was much speculation yester-
day il. maritime circles as to where the
steamer Berwind, of the New York and
Porto Rico Steamship Company, had
been for the last two weeks. She left
here with 2,7S7 tons Of coal, bound for
Rio de- Janeiro, and arrived there yes
terday, more than two weeks overdue.
There had been no report of the Ber-
wind being in distress, and it was not
thought likely that she would have run
into any port other than her destina-
ton, owing to the shipping regulations.
The Lorenzo, of the same line, was
captured, with the Norwegian vessel
Thor, while the two were coaling the
German cruiser Karlsruhe off the West
Indies. She sailed from New York the
same day as the Berwind. Efforts to
learn what company supplied the coal
or where the orders came from have
proved futile. officials of the company
refused to talk.
At the Inter-American Steamship
Company's Offices an official at first
said that his company had not had any
thing to do with the Thor for more
than three months. Records show that
this company cleared the Thor from
this port late in July. The official later
said that he did not know to whom the
coal was consigned or who ordered 1t.
He did not know whether 1t was
shipped from New York or Newport
News.
