SHIP CAN. NOT STAY
THERE so VERY LONG.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.Ac-
cording to the doctrine laid down by
the American government In other
cases. similar TO the PrInz Eite1
Friedrich, the collector OF customs at
Norfolk must give the commander of
the German ship twenty-four hours
from the time. OF his arrival to take on
coal and provisions. If the ship
needs repairing. however. it has q
longer respite.
In that case the naval constructor
at the port will make an examination
and report what will be reasonable
time to make the necessary repairs
and the German ship would be given
twenty-four hours in addition to that
time.
Meanwhile the American govern
n:ent will keep the time OF its depar-
ture a secret so. no unfair advantage
might occur to hostile ships which
might gather In wait for the German

Somebody, name unknown, takes
occasion to criticize a little article
published In the Telegram written by
myself. The writer's of the various
Mount Ararat articles seem to wish
to secret their authorship and the
only thing In Mr.. Voters article is
an attack upon my veracity. In
other word Sin plain English that
Il. you are a liar. My little holdings
consist OF one hundred and twenty
feet on one side of the road In the
village OF Bridgeport upon which the
sGrasselli route would pass, while on
the Pike route I control four hun
sdred feet on one side OF the pike and
two hundred feet on the other. It
would not make any difference to
me as to my holdings which route
was taken.
AS to the ownership OF the land on
the pike. we come to the milk farm
OF Mr.. Duffy, consisting Of one hum
$dred acres; and the milk farm of
Mr.. Sturm of. posi- bly, one hundred
and sixty acres, also used for the pro-
duction ofBmilk. Mr.. SturmI is a nice

come to the double crossing, the most
dangerous crossing on any railroad
that we know Of. Many accidentssin
the last sixty years have occurred
there: That we wish to avoid. As to
the Grasselli route. 1t IS conceded that
"a good route to Grasselli would ac-
commodate all the people living in
Simpson district for distance Of
nine miles to the Barbour county limo,
passing through most productive
and fertile country. AS against half

the Grassel1i route would pass the

hundred people. We have no per-
sonal feeling In this matter whatever
