ATWATER IN JAIL GETS

It's a long call from Russia or Mex

must be the opinion OF William b. At
water, the aviator, who Is now in the
debtors prison for failure to comply with
an order OF the United States District
Court calling 70 him TO turn over
$1,000 to his creditors In bankruptcy.
A friend OF Atwater's confirmed yes
terday the story that the latter had
been offered n salary OF 81, 900 a month
% join the aviation corps OF tho Rus
sian army. A similar proposition, the
friend said, had been mad to the avi-
ator by Gen. villa. although the Mexi-
can offcr involved a salary OF only 5000
"A month.
Although he Is badly In need OF
funds IT is not likely that Atwater will
accept either OF these offers, as he has
foresworn aviation in Difference to the
wish Of his wife. Mrs, Lillian Janeway
Plat Atwater, widow OF the late Sena-
tor I. G. Plat.
An attempt was made before Judge
liough in the United States District
Court yesterday 10 have Atwater re-
leased from Ludlow street Jail on the
ground that he hasn't the money TO com

since giving up aviation, was totally
dependent on his wife for Judge

the services in the many places of wor-

ship will be almost continuous for the

At Carnegie Hail. where the first SER
vice OF the season OF the Free Syna-
gogue was held last night, the Rev. DR..
stephen :. Wise IN his sermon paid
tribute to President Wilson and dis
cussed phases of the war, He said
viewing the matter AZ americans

nation been tempted and provoked to
war as has been our republic, and yet
kept its hand unstained by blood.
The moral value OF the Indignantly OF
the American people under the leader
ship of President Wilson will have been
lessened, II not lost, unless It be made
clear that there is such "A thing as plac-
ing too severe Il strain upon the patience
even Of the most patient people,

RYNDAM HERE SAFE,
BUT TWICE IN PERIL
Passengers Tell Of Narrow Es-
cape From Being Hit by
Floating Mine.
ALMOST IN COLLISION

The Holland-America liner Ryndsm,
Rotterdam. came near being added TO
the list of war disasters among mer-
chantmen when she narrowly avoided
being hit by a floating mine of Dover
on the morning of August 80. The
liner had been halted while British
officials searched her for ~contraband.
According to passengers. the ships
band was playing hymns on the deck
when, in the midst OF Nearer. My God,
to Thee" some one along the s~tarboard
rail saw the mine a short distance of,
floating oward the ship.
The discovery almost created a panic.
but I'VE mine sweepers were seen coming
to the rescue. They SHARED the mine in
their net and exploded it with deck
guns. Following this experience the
Ryndam was held in the Downs for
twenty-four hours to make sure that
her way was clear.
The passengers also had two other
tastes OF war conditions, once when
they heard heavy firing of the Belgian
coast and again about 100 miles east
OF Nantucket, when the liner almost
collided with a warship in a heavy fog.
The name and nationality OF the war
ship could not be made out. but it was
thought to be one of the British patrols.
Among the passengers was william

merchant in Germany for nine
years. lie said Germany is now

wood pulp for cotton. although she has

The shipment OF the intermediates

OF the leading textile manufacturers yes

"The general complaint is not the cry
for a protective tariff said Dr. Norton,
but concerns the experience of the
past in having Germany undersell US in
our W markets. The German potash
industry is a Government monopoly as
we'll as a natural monopoly. The Ger

tees here just as our own corporations
are governed-in other words. bring all

LANSING IS COATLESS'
WHEN WILSON CALLS
President Slips Through Base
ment Door to Shock Low
ers Of Formally.
NOT HIS FIRST "OFFENCE"

WASHINGTON, Sept s.-Presldent VIII
eon did not have the satisfaction or
breaking a precedent to-day when he
slipped out through the basement door
Of the Executive offices to make a call
on Secretary Of state Lansing at the
State Department across the street.
Not only did President Mckinley
mako q similar call on Secretary Hay
during the Spanish American war. but
Mr.. Wilson himself has called upon
members OF his Cabinet before this TO
discuss official business with them.
More tina n year sgo-it CHANGED TO
be only a short time after he had
delivered one of his addresses TO Con-
Grsss-Mr. Wilson went to call on Sec
Rotary OF the Interior Lane n Post
master-General Burleson in their respec-
tive ofices on the Same day.
The Presidents action in going from
the White House TO the State Depart
ment with a sheaf OF important papers
In his hand practically unattended did
not fail, however, to attract a great
deal OF attention among those who are
familiar with the usual formalities Of
Executive labors. The secret service
men were thrown into a little panic
by the news that the President had
escaped" again.
Before this they have had to hasten
upon Mr.. Wilson's trail without knowing
how long he would be without their pro-
lection. a notable instance taking place
the night after the news of the sinking
OF the Lusitania reached Washington.
That night. after having isolated him
self In the White House all day to give
thought to the problems then facing
he Government. the President started
Y for a walk about the quiet streets
ct the capital. He was soon overtaken
by the secret service men, however.
and continued his walk carefully
guarded.
Apparently the Presidents decision
10 pay a visit 10 Secretary Lansing was
reached without long elaboration to-
day. Having concluded his study of
certain State Department documents. It
occurred to him to take them across the
street TO Mr.. Lansing, instead OF fol-
lowing the usual procedure of sending
them over by a White House messen-
ser.
The wish quickly fathered the thought
with the President. and a few minutes
after the idea occurred TO him he had
passed through the office OF Secretary
Tumulty and that OF the assistant Sec
rotary. through the telegraph room
and down the little stairway into the
basement, which has an exit on the
sidewalk to the west OF the White
House.
He walked up the stairs at the State
Department and without knocking on
Secretary Lansing's door walked in and
himself. Mr.. Lansing was
sitting at his desk In his shirt sleeves
talking with Mrs. Lansing. With i'm
perturbable courtesy the Secretary OF
State expressed his qualification at the
honor which was being paid him and
then proceeded to "A discussion OF the
matters which were In the Presidents
mind.
