Raider Karlsruhe
Is Reported Safe
in WiIheIn1ShaVen
German Warship, Terror to
British on Seas, Back in Ger
many, Says Letter.

NEW YORK, FEB. 1I.--According
to information received here today
the German warship Karlsruhe. which
sells in tropical waters for the past
four or five months, is back safe and
sound in Wilhelmshayen, Germany.
For more than three weeks no word
has been received that the Karlsruhe
was in West Indian or South Ameri-
can waters, and away back in Il :
time when the cruiser caught the Van
Dyck, of the Lamport and Holt line,
took of her passengers. sent them to
port, and held the vessel as q prize,
or perhaps sunk her. there was a hint
that the Karlsruhe's captain intended
to come north to interfere with Brit
ish and French shipping inIthe North
Atlantic.
1t has been the belief of shipping
men here, too, that the Karlsruhe
could not remain in tropical waters
much longer because of the sea
growth that would foul her bottom,
reduce her speed and make her an
easier prey for British war vessels
that have been searching for her for
months.
The story of the vessel being in
Wilhelmshaven comes in a letter to
Albert Newsome, of 151 William
street, Long Island City. On board
the Karlsruhe when she left Germany
to become a terror of the sea was @
sailor friend of Mr. Newsome To-
day Mr.. Newsome has a letter from
that sailor friend. 1t Is dated Ham
burg and tells of the Karlsruhe's safe
arrival at Wilhelmshaven, which Is
about 100 miles from Hamburg.

Is Decided TO Support Gore
Substitute.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Admin-
istration forces were reformed to
continue the fight over the ship bill
at an early conference today between
President Wilson, Senators Fletcher
and Simmons and Representative
Kitchin. It was decided to stand be-
hind Senator Cores substitute for
the bill now pending In the Senate.
The Gore substitute contains pro-
visions safeguarding neutrality In
purchase of foreign ships and other
proposals which il Is understood
command the support of some of the
progressive Republicans and prob
ably some of the Democrat insur-
gents.
Under the new plan the present
bill, which has drawn a historic
f1Iibuster, would be allowed to be
buried IN committee, and the Gore
substitute would be forced out for
immediate consideration.
No final decision was reached
whether the bin would also be taken
UP in the House Immediately, but
indications were that 1t would be
done.
1t was said at the White Honse
that no final decision had been

at length and it was practically
agreed that no further overtures
would be made to the seven Demo-
Gratis, who have been voting witr
the Republicans.

iterated that hope had not been given

lice, Green, who was active in Re-
publican politics in Madison, has

Because of his power among the
negro voters of Madison, Green was
always able to exert influence when
ever he got into trouble, and, SO far
as known, never spent any time in Jail
before. He has run afoul Of the po-
lice at least seven or eight times
within the last year and a half.

The kicker came in for a wigging
today at the hands of d. Fletcher
Barber, of Boston, in an address be-
fore the convention.
Get rid Of this pessimist," urged
Mr.. Barber. 1T is as lamentable as
1t is common to hear kicks regarding
what an organization should do that
1t does not and what it might do il
IL were run properly, and the advice
SO freely given comes with poor grace
and with a reflex opinion from those
who offer it. He generally knows lit
tie about the work and has not taken
interest enough to be sufficiently in
formed
At the same time, however, Mr..
Barber said, the people of the coun.
try were not satisfied with the state
ment of President Wilson that the
present business depression was

said the business men knew the de-
preston is more than state of mind.
Calls Attention TO Bill.
Charles z. Tryon, of Philadelphia.
was one of the speakers at the morn
ing session. He called the attention
of the delegates to several bills be-
fore the Pennsylvania legislature
which vitality affect the hardware
dealers Of that State. One of these
measures is House bill rs, introduced
by Assernblyman Haggerty, of Dun
more, Pa, which prohibits the sale of
'billies," daggers and brass knuckles,
and further prohibits the carrying OF
| reyolyers, pistols and other arms By
| persons other than those who have
first secured license from o city
| magistrate. The measure also pro-
yides that persons selling such arms
shall keep a record of the sale, which
is similar to the New Jersey laws
covering that point.
The speaker also asked that the
convention oppose Pennsylvania
House bill %, which seeks to split
up the Game Commission of that
State. The suggestions were referred
10 the resolutions committee.
