EASTERN RAISES
EMBARGO WHILE
PLACING ANOTHER

Portland, Me-, May 23.-The Eastern
Steamship Corporation today raised the
embargo placed some time ago on traffic
both to and from the Morgan Lines rum
ming between New York and Galveston
and New Orleans, the raising of this en-
barge being made possible by an ease
ment of the freight congestion over those
lines.
An embargo has been placed, however.
on freight to points on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad by way
of Boston and New York over Eastern
Steamship Lines, the New Haven being
unable at present to handle the business
turned over to them by the steamship
line. How long this embargo will last
Is entirely a matter of conjecture.
These announcements were made today
by Secretary George E. Feeney of the
transportation bureau of the Chamber OF
Commerce. THE country has never beer
confronted by such freight conditions. "
said Mr.. Feeney, land officials connected
with the big transportation companies
say 1t is impossible to predict when
freight conditions will be relieved Some
Of them have had their ears practically
glued to their telephones for months" he
said, "eXplaining the situation to ship

Don't engage a taxicab or other con-
veyance except at authorized stations and
| avoid riding alone at night If possible.

Don't accompany a stranger on any
pretext however plausible.
Don't carry all your money in one
place, and avoid displaying it in public.
Don't forget to lock up money and
jewelry when absent from your ROOM"

Salmon Of Fast Color.
(Christian Herald.)

And in this connection comes a
story, which is fairly well authenti-
Gated, of how one of the salmon kings
started his fortune in the fish industry
en- the basis of the then despised light
colored salmon. This man had put up
his cannery at location past which
the fish came in great numbers on
their way in to spawn. He was right
in his selection of a site and the SAL
mon were caught in vast quantities.
They were ALL however, of the light
pink variety, and the fisherman was in
despair. At that time no light col
cred salmon had been shipped and the
demand everywhere as for salmon of
an almost red hue. The man canned
his fcatch and sold il by means Of a
label which implied that it was the
only sanitary fish on the market The
label read This salmon is warranted
not to turn red in the can" The most
of the catch went to the southern
states, and the drummers selling it
did their business so we'll that in many
of the cities Of that locality you can
hardly sell red salmon. The people
think it is spoiled, ard has, therefore,
turned red in the can

it. His negative vote was recorded. When
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts was
called he transferred his pair with Sena-
tor James of Kentucky to the absent
Senator Shields, and also was recorded III
the negative. Senator James, who was
in Kentucky, would have voted for the
motion had he been present.
Marshall Pair a Precedent
A precedent was established by the
recognition Of a pair between Vice
President Marshall and Senator Reed
Senate records show that it is the
first time in history a vice President
ever was paired and some parliament
,arians claim tonight that the proceed
ing was in conflict with the provision
of the Constitution authorizing the
Vice President to vote to break an
announced tie.
AS it happened the pair today die
not affect the result one way or the
other. The motion failed or 3S to 90
tie and had the Vice President been in
the chair, Senator Reed would have
cast one more negative vote.
Senator Reed explained that he had
entered into the pairing agreement in
order that Mr.. Marshall might go to
Greensboro, n. c., to deliver college
commencement address The Vice
President intended to vote for recon-
sideration in the event of a tie and
the Missouri senator who opposed re-
consideration agreal to refrain from
voting so that if tie resulted the
situation practically would be what it
would have been had the Vice Presi-
dent been present > exercise his right
to break the tie. Senator Reed insist
ed that, although there was no pre-
cedent for the action. it was entirely
regular because it was done by unani-
nous consent of the Senate.
Some Of those WHO discussed the
matter predicted, however that it
would be no unanimous consent if an
attempt should be made to set up to-
days action as a precedent to be fol
lowed.
