100 TAKEN OFF SINKING SHIP
No Panic While Passengers We're Be-
ing Removed From the Minnesota

Kobe, April 13, $50 p. M.-There
was no panic on board the steamship
Minnesota when she ran on n rock off
Iwajina, at the entrance to the inland
Sea of Japan, Sunday night, according
to passengers brought here by the
steamer Oanfa.
The night was calm, but the wealth
er was thick and foggy, when a grating
sound was heard at S.45 p. m. Some
of the women aboard became hyster-
zeal, but excellent order was main
tanned and many of the passengers re-
turned to their berths upon the assur-
anees of the officers that there was no
danger. The Oanfa arrived about /,
q. m. to render aid.
About one hundred passengers were
transferred to the Oanfa and arrived at.
Kobe to-day. Among them was Mrs.
Francis Burton Harrison, wife of the
Governor General of the Philippines.
The German governess of the Harrison
children was detained aboard the Oanfa
with two other German passengers be-
cause of the war regulation which re-
quires special permits for Germans to
enter Japan.
At the request of the American en-
bassy, however; the Foreign Office has
granted permission for the governess of
the Harrison children to land and the
other German passengers also will be
permitted to do so if they desire.
Fifty steerage passengers stiIl are
aboard the Minnesota.

BETHLEHEM Steel makes
: A new RECORD IN MARKET
Ascends Two Points Above It's Pre-
vious High Mark But Quickly Re-
acts When Conditions Place Stock
On the Defensive

New York, April 1S.-Wall Street.
-Esta blishment of another record by
Bethlehem Steel which rose to 1877,
two points above Its high price was
the noteworthy feature of to-day s
early market.-This gain WIS soon lost,
however, and the movement elsewhere
was again indicative of Selling for
profit and renewal of professional
operations for the decline. Rock Island
rose over point in recognition of the
new interest in the board but it soon
registered a material loss. Numerous
specislties, including equipments and
industrials rose l to appoints. Trading
was active with reactionary tendencies
before the end of the half hour. \
Bethlehem Steel held first place
throughout the frst hour, advancing
l5 1-2 points to 1S9 IL. In the second
hour it rde to 142, au overnight gain
of 8 points. Contrary to recent days
the balance of the market was not adj
versely affected by the movement in
Bethlehem Steel, but gathered greater
strength, especially in United States
Steel, Amalgamated and other leaders,
where gains of l to . points were
made. Peace rumors which had their
origin noilicial quarters at Washing
ton, were used as basis for the re-
vival of activity. Bonds were steady.

First Sumptuary Laws

Laws regulating eating, drinking
and dressing are almost as old as his
tory itself. Nothing like exactness
can be reached in the matter, but it is
safe to say that it was in Egypt as far
back as 5000 b. G. that the first prac-
teal sumptuary statutes were passed.
Among the Romans they first appear
ed in the celebrated twelve tables. -
In modern times Charlemagne was the
pioneer in sumptuary legislation.
