Tampico. The crew was arrested be-
cause OF an alleged violation Of port
orders.
Admiral Mayo demanded a salute 70
the colors In reparation for the affront
to the dignity of the United States. The

United Fruit steamship Metapan with
three daughters. twelve-year-old Cristo-

there are accommodations for first cabin
passengers rather than be parted from
Cristobal. An immigration boarding
officer and a Government surgeon de-
cided that CrIstobal had some sort Of
a disease that only a special examina-
ton by the medical force at the island
might diagnose,
Mrs, Naldes decided to accompany her
husband and the three girls did like
wise. The maid servant, who is an
American, was the only one In the party
who made a protest. Mr.. Valdes said
that Cristobal was suffering, according
to cuban physicians. from innammatory
rheumatism, The Government surgeon
who examined the hoy aboard shin
seemed inclined 10 believe that he had
tuberculosis, which would debar him
from landing. Mr.. Valdes said he had
brought Cristobal here 10 have him ex-
nmined and treated by American ex-
ports. His case VIII he decided today.

Plant strongly Qua rded.

The Bliss plant. which covers the
whole block from ~Fifty-third to Fifty
fouth street. and from First TO Second
avenue. south Brooklyn. has been
working all day and all night since
early last winter.
Last night the plant was fully lighted
with hundreds OF men working inside,
Around the outside OF it,, At intervals
~ about so feet. were stationed men
dressed in brown uniforms. who carried
nightsticks. and sa!d they were Burns
men. At all the entrances, of which
there were many, were large groups ot
these men, and II was learned that
more than 200 Burns men. either
guards or detectives, are working at
the plant. tho guards doing duty out
side and the detectives Vorking as
mechanics and laborers and mixing with
the other workmen inside.
The sudden activity Of tho plant last
winter caused a good deal OF public COM
ment, and at the time officers OF the COM
pany said that they were making tor
pedoes for the United States Govern-
ment. This statement was denied by
Ambrose Strauss, chief of the bureau
Of ordnance, who said the was
not making an unusually large number
Of torpedoes for tho United States. In
December Mr.. Strauss told the House
Naval Committee that the Bliss COM
pany had an outstanding order for 1894
torpedoes for the United States and that
II would take about two years TO All II.
At about the time the plant began 70
work t~wenty-four hours a day stock in
the company Jumped to $40 a share
for the common stock. which was an
advance OF $50 in a few months. The
company leased early in the winter a
great deal Of space In the Bush Ter
mlnal Building. e its plant, and at
the same time applied to the State
Employment Bureau for 200 lathe hands
and grinders. Manning. Maxwell &
Moore received a very large order early
in the winter for lathes for turning
shells.

ried on through J. 7. Morgan & Co.
The General Electric Company was
turned TO as the biggest organization
In the country suitable for the purpose.
The placing of orders here and there
with smaller concerns has proved un-
satisfactory. The new British Min

Not all OF the orders for shrapnel

1t was said yesterday that the de-
mand for shrapnel and other forms OF
ammunition and high explosives for the

best military experts OF Europe never
dreamed OF before the war. The orders
thus far placed are only a foretaste
OF the big demand. When the Allies

realized that orders here for $780,
c00,o OF ammunition are not over
stated.
The work Of filling the shells with
high explosives will not be done by the
General Electric and associated COM
panies. This will probably be done
abroad or in other plants here.
The orders for rifles placed with West
inghouse and the Baldwin Locomotive
Works are orders that have nothing
to DO with the present plan. The Gem

COURT DECISION
KEEPS TORPEDO
SECRET IN U.S..
Government Wins Injunc-
ton Suit Against +. w.
Bliss Company.
d
FEDERAL ARMORY

The United States Circuit cour of
Appeals. in an opinion written yester-
day by Judge Coke and concurrcd In by
Judges Ward and Rogers. prohibits the
r.. W. Bliss Company OF Brooklyn from
selling to foreign Governments or ex-
hibiting to the agents thereof the Bliss
Leavitt torpedo. which was first manu-
featured by the company under contract
with the Government for the use OF the
United states navy.
The decision Is In effect an afhrma-
tic OF the ruling of Judge Needer in
tho Federal District Court OF Brooklyn
in April, 1914 granting IN injunction
TO the Government In its suit against
the +. w. Bliss Compay. Judge Wee
ders decision, however, only applied to
one feature OF the torpedo-the bal
anced turb!ne-whcreas the Appellate
Court extends the injunction so as to
include "all the designs. drawings.
plans and specifications used By the de-
PENDANT in making the Bliss-Leavitt tor
psdo."
In his opinion Judge Coke makes the
suggestion that the Government estab-
fish an armament plant of its own so
AZ to avoid the necessity OF such pro-
csedings In the future. He says:
This case illustrates che Importance
OF a great Government like the United
States having a mandatory Of It's own

other implements of war which are I'M
proved and changed from time TO time
BY the addition OF ingenious m%echanlsns
which should clearly be KEEP, secret, un-
less our enemies are to profit equally
with ourselves In every improvement,
which the Ingenuity OF our army and
navy officers may suggest.

II was c%ontendel by the defendant
company that the injunctions nj secrecy
did not apply to the principle or the de-
vice. but to the designs furnished by the
Government. Although the principle
might belong to the Government. they
said. all the Improvements were worked
out by employees of the company. The
defendants chief engineer testified that
the defendant got no assistance from the
Governments officials. The latter, he
declared. made man. suggestions. but
all OF them were rejected. Moreover. tho
defendant c~ontended, tho granting OF tho
patent to Lieutenant-C Commander Davi-
son disclosed the invention to the world.
w think this Is a too narrow and
superficial view of the matter" said
Judge Coke. IF followed II would leave
the Government remediless unless she
makes her munitions OF wal in her own
factories. II the defendant company
owned the patent CT II ii were licensed
under II a different situation would
arise but being In a sense "A confidential
agent of the Government in the making

verse to those of the Government.
1T Is difficult TO imagine a nation
giving to one Of it's citizens contracts
TO manufacture implements necessary 10
the national defence and permitting that
citizen TO disclose the construction Of
such implements or sell them to another
nation. The very mature of the service
makes the construction urged by the
defendant untcnable."

tracts between the Government and the
