FOR NEARLY TWENTY-FOUR
HOURS WHILE PASSING THE
IRISH SEA.

NEW YORK. Feb 10.--passcngcrs
on the British steamer Orduna, of the
Cunard line, which arrived here today
from England. said the Orduna flew
the American flag for nearly "a hours
on January 81, while passing through
the Irish Sea
The Stars and Stripes, they said,
were hOisted Sunday, en- hour after
the Orduna left Liverpool, January 30.
but did not depart until lO:30 the
next morning. Passengers said the
delay was caused by the presence of
a German submarine in the vicinity.
The American flag was raised they
said, shortly after the Ordma cleared
the Mcrsey. The ship touched at
Queenstown the same day and was
flying the Stars and Stripes when
she entered and left that harhor
they said.
Passengers said some of the Or
dumas under officers explained that
the American flag had been raised
to protect American citizens among
the 24O passengers. H. Y. Strong of
tlllS tlty, anu JdlIlcS fOEU, OF Lynn,
Mass, were two of the passengers
who said they would vouch over
their names that the American flag
was carried by the ship. They said
il was not until she had cleared the
Irish Sea that il was hauled down.
Captain Thomas NJ Taylor, command
er of the Orduna, refused to discuss
the matter, saying he was under or
ders from the British admiralty not
to talk.
IS Charles p. Sumner, general agent
here for the line. denied that the Or.
duna had flown the American flag eX-

planned is customary on all ships to

however, that the flag was flying aft,

This Movement Given Initiative
al Meeting of Council
Yesterday.
TIE PLAN is OUTLINED
Skating Kinks to Be Construct
ed in Orange Park and Wright
Square - Up-to-Date Play
ground in Latter Place.

AS result of the recent agitation
in the city of skating and anti-skating
on the sidewalks the children of
Brunswick may luck out" and in
stead of being allowed to skate on
the sidewalks, they may soon have Il
well-equpped playground, with u
great big skating rink right in the
center OF II,
This was practically assured at q
meeting of city council yesterday aft
ernoon when Mayor Hopkins stated
his plans to council and received the
endorsement of the aldermen, who
quickly gave him the authority to pro-
ceed with the erection of II skating
rink in Wright square and in Orange
park. The mayor stated, however,
that no appropriation was desired
from the city for the construction Of
the rinks, but that he had plans on
foot whereby the money would bo
raised. 1t is estimated that each OF
the rinks will cost about $3.50.
The plan of the mayor is to make
Wright square, located between Egg
mont, Ellis, London and George
streets, playground for the chill
dren, not only to include a large skat-
ing rink, but also other amusements,
where Brunswick 8 youngsters can
gather in the afternoons and spend a
most enjoyable hour or two, Recent
ly the mayor has discussed this ques-
tion with many citizens, all of whom
stated to him that if such plan was
naugurated and il he would. take the
initiative that they would support the
movement with donation 1t is now
the plan Of the mayor to call all ,of
the children of the city who are intbr-
ested together, and organize different
teams among them, these various
teams to make Il general canvass of
the city and in this way raise the
money necessary for the equipment
of the playground as well as for the
rink in Oran. mark It Is believed
that the movement will prove a very
popular one and the mayor will no
doubt receive the cooperation of the
people in the city generally, who re-
alize that the children should have
some place Of recreation and amuse-
ment.
AS to the present ordinance prohib.
iting skating on the sidewalks, il is
being enforced as rigidly as possible.
Many citizens seem to think that their
children have the right to skate on
the sidewalks in front of their resi-
dences, but this is mistake. Al
thouph while guch citfzauc how mid
for these sidewalks, still they are pub
lie and are covered by the skating or
dinance.
