INTERNED SHIPS GIVE
RIVER FRONT A THRILL
Lynx-eyed Watchers Excited
When Germans Turn Around,
But Navy Yard Keeps Cool.

Intense excitement prevailed along the
Delaware River front this morning when
people along the docks observed the In
termed German hneis Pr.nz Oskar Hid
Rhaetia leaving their berths at the south
side of the new municipal pier 40, at the
foot of Christian street. The fog that
had overhung the river most of the night
was Just beginning TO lift when two tugs
slipped alongside the Prinz oskar passed
a hawser to those on board and started
to warp her out of the dock
Immediately things began to happen.
German sympathizers cheered Neutrals
and rooters for the Allies rushed TO tel
ephones and began calling wildly. The
Navy Yard received most of the calls.
officers of the yard were importuned TO
send UP right away anything from
rowboat to battleship to Keep the
steamships from leaving. 1t was looked
upon as a hoax at League Island as
every officer knows that the German
boats would stand little show In trying
TO get out to sea from this city. The
100 miles of river and bay necessary to
traverse would render 1t easy to overtake
them with a flying torpedoboat. Then
the forts at Delaware City would not
have any great difficulty In stopping
them. SO none of the Navy Yard officials
got excited and no man-o'-war was
rushed to Christian street.
The calmness of the navy men, how
ever, did not extend to those who heard
of the steamships getting out nor to those
who witnessed their movements. The po-
lice were notified City Hall received
numerous telephone calls and wildly eN-
cited persons rushed into the I'd and
Christian streets station and reported the
violation of neutrality Even the fire de-
partment was notified. At the headquar-
ters of the custom guards and inspectors
the telephone was kept constantly ring
ing Customs Inspectors Farrell. Metzner
and Perry, stationed at Washington ave-
nue. wharf, were summoned. They were
told the Presidents neutrality proclama-
tion was being nullifed
Around the pier gathered nervous and
excited crowd. They shouted to the tugs
to stop. They told the German officers
and sailore to come back In none too po-
lite terms. The Germans looked over at
the throng and stolidly stared uncompre-
hending One Individual leaped on top of
a pile of rubbish and shouted wildly:
Boys, let's stop EN-" "How?' some one
asked The leader gazed around as though
looking for a i2-centimeter gun and not
finding any, tried to retreat gracefully,
slipped, fell and rolled around in the rub
bish until he regained his feet. He dis
appeared in hurry down Delaware ave-
nue..
1t appeared as though nothing could
prevent the Germans from escaping. The
crowd stood around awed into silence
They watched the tugs drag the Prnz
Oskar out into midstream, turn her
around and head her back to the north
side of the same pier where she was
berthed and tied up.

COMPANY APPEALS AGAINST
CAMDEN COUNCILS ACTION
Supreme Court to Hear Land Rental
Suit,


Suit.
Justice Garrison, of the New Jersey
Supreme Court. allowed a writ of
certiorari today, calling for a review Of
an ordinance passed by the Camden
Council on May 18th, repeating an ordi-
nance of 1852, which turned the Kaighn
avenue river front over to the Delaware
River Ferry Company for a nominal an
nual rental of 81.
The Kaighn avenue front is now de-
voted to the ferries operated in con-
nection with the Philadelphia and Read
ing trains to Atlantic City. The land Is
estimated to be worth 100000. and the
Camden Council has long maintained
that 1t should bring in a considerable
rental II is also asserted that even
the 81 rental has not been paid for many
years. The Delaware River Ferry Com
pany holds that the old ordinance should
not be repealed in consideration OF the
fact that the city has been greatly bene-
fitted and developed by the work under
taken by the company
