NAVAL OFFICERS USEFUL TO
 FEDERAL CUSTOMS SERVICE. Evidence Given at Conference of Gus.
 toms Collectors in New York,

New York, Nov 21-Naval officers are not useless adjuncts to the federal customs service, in the opinion of H. Otto Wittpenn, naval officer of the port, of New York and late democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, who took issue today with Frank M. Halstead, head of the division of cus- toms of the treasury department. Both expressed their views at the confer ence of customs collectors here MT. Halstead had asserted the seven naval officers In the service could be dis pensed with.
 MT. Wittpenn declared that Secre- tary of the Treasury McAdoo early this year asked congress to provide legis- lation so as to retain all seven of the naval officers, but to change the title to customs auditor and to grant them enlarged powers to enable them to audit all of the accounts of all col lectors of customs in the United States.
 President Taft had decided. after due inquiry, he said, to retain the naval officers because of their neces- sary supervision over annual collec- tions of more than s20U, ,00O, ,0OO in cus- toms duties, while aoolishing the po- sitions of over 50 collectors of customs by the consolidation of customs dis tricts.

TO ELIMINATE COST OF
 REHANDLING FooDsTuFFS
A Central Market in New York Where
 Steamships Could Unload is Propos-

New York, Nov. "A central mar ket, so located that steamships could unload directly under it's roof and with connecting spurs for railroads, was advocated today by John J. DIl- lon, commissioner of the state de- partment of foods and markets, as the most practicable means of combating the high cost of living.
 By eliminating the excessive cost of handling and re-handling food pro- ducts, MT. Dillon said 1t was his belief the prevailing prices for food commo- dities would be materially reduced. Pending the necessary negotiations for the establishment of the proposed central market, MT. Dillon suggested that cooperative organization be formed immediately to back three stores in different parts of the city. These stores, he said would re- ceive their supplies direct from the producers and sell direct to members of the cooperative organization at cost.
 That the problem here has become an acute one was further empha sized by Deputy Assistant District Attorney Markewitch. He announced that he was presenting to the grand jury evidence he has collected the increased cost of poultry. So far as the producer is concerned. MT. Markewitch declared he has collected on increased cost of able excuse for the advance. The pro- sducer's price of the past six months, he had been unable to find and eason- though housewives are now paving from four to five cents a pound more for poultry.

10 PER CENT. WAGE INCREASE
 FOR WooLEN WORKERS
For 35,ooo Employed In New England
 and New York State

Boston, Nov. 12.-A ten per cent. wage Increase in all the mills of the American Woolen Company, which employs 35,oo0 hands in New Eng land and New York state was am nounced at the headquarters of the company here tonight. At the same time the Arlington Mills, wohse big cotton plant at Lawrence employs 5000 hands, announced "a higher scale of wages" the amount of which was not specified. It was believed that the new scale would be similar to that made public last night by the Cot ton Manufacturers Association of New Bedford, grainting their 33,000 employees a ten per cent. raise.
 All the increases in the pay of tex tile operatives thus far announced are to be effective December 4. In most instances they mark the third ad- vance of the calendar year, and bring the wages to the highest point in the in the history of the industry.
 Representatives of other mills had no statement to make regarding sim far wage increases at their plants, but in the past such advances have us- ually been virtually uniform in north ern New England mills. It was es- timated in textile circe1s that the granting of a 10 per cent. raise in all New England mills would mean an ad- dition of more than s10,090,000 a year to contents of the pay enveopes

A BOND OF S12,ooo
 FILED FOR LIBEL SUIT.
A Hearing of the Case is Set for Dec.
 4 in U. s. Court at New London.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 21.-A bond for $12,000, covering the libel brought against the German submarine Deutschland by the T. A. Scott com pany of New London for the loss of the tug T. A. Scott, Jr., which was sunk by the submarine last Friday off Race Rock in Long Island sound, was filed here this afternoon with the clerk of the United States district court, re- leasing the Deutschland from federal detention. The papers show that the owners of the Deutschland are the Deutsch- Ocean Rhedorei G. D. H. of Bremen, Germany, and the American agents A. Schumacher & company of Baltimore, of which President Henry G. HiIken of the Eastern Forwarding company is a member. The bond was signed by A. Schumaker & company. A hearing of the case is set for Dec. in the United States court here.
 Other LibeIs Through State Courts.
 It had been expected that other li- bels would be filed against the Deutschland for the families of the men who lost their lives with the T. A. Scott, Jr., but these actions were brought through the state courts. Sub sequent1y, however, they were with drawn from the state courts and coun- sel for the families decided to bring the suits in the New York courts, as it is claimed the tug was in New York waters when she went down.

Watch Hill. R. l.. Nov. 21--.The Ger man trading submarlne Deutschland, which started again from New ' LoLuoli' Conn.,, for Bremen, this afternoon; passed here tonight, moving eastward through Block Island sound. She was without convoy, ten miles off shore.
 Off Watch Hill at 4.18.
 As the Deutschland passed this point at sunset, AIS D. m-, it was thoushs she would probably rot be sighted again before daybreaK. By tEat tune, 1t was estimated, she would be in the vicinity of Nantucket south Shoals lightship. Coast guard stations along the coast were under orders from Washington, the officers said, to reveal no observations of the submarine which they might make.
 Reverses Course of Inbound Trip.
 Passing Watch Hill eastbound, the Deutschland was on course exactly the reverse which she followed in reaching New London on Nov. l. She was headed past the north shore Of Block Island and going toward Po1uf Judith.
 Captain Koenig recently described his westbounG course as marked oy No Mans Land, a solitary is.and ofr tho coast of Martha's Vineyard. Go- ing back over this track, the Deutsch- land on the present voyage, II her skipper chose, could follow the 20- fathom curve, a path of safety past the shoals of this vicinity leading to the clear water off the Nantucket South Shoals light vessel. ts Sufficient Depth to Submerge. It would be possible for the mer- chantman to submerge with assurance of ample depth just beyond Point Judith, according to mariHers, in or der to escape any hostile vessel which might be watching fer his coming. AL though wireless operators and incon1- ing steamship captains a week ago reports of their presence have been received since the Deutschland made her false start from New London last Friday morning. The submarine was in neutral waters up to the time that observation closed tonight, and as un- derstood here she would not pass the bounds of territorial waters until she had left Point Judith behind, when she could submerge.
 Making Ten Miles an Hour. It is twenty miles to Watch Hill from the New London pier to which the Deutschland returned after the collision last Friday in which she ran down the tug T. A. Scott, Jr.. drowning its crew of five men. The Deutschland covered this distance in two hours, notwithstanding the difficulties of navigating the Race with its treach- erous rips. Her average of ten miles an hour was made with a quartering wind from the northeast. with the tide at flood and weather conditions other l wise also favorable.

WIDESPREAD = SEVERE
Frosts From the Rocky Mountains East and South to Southern Florida Raised Havoc With Garden Truck and Other VesetabIes-LittIe.D Dam- age to Fruit.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Widespread and severe damage to crops in the west and south was done by the rec ord brea king cold wave of November l0-17, the weather bureau announced tonight in special bulletin Practi- caiIy no harm to fall-sown grain was reported and the damage to the cot ton was slight, but in California to- matoes were a total loss and truck suffered except in few sections.
 Frosts in Southern Florida.
 The cold wave spread southward rom Alaska on November 10. driving temperatures in the Rocky Mountain states down to new low marks and during the week following causing freezing weather and frosts all the way south and east to southern Flor ida.
 Potatoes Damaged in Louisiana.
 While a large part of the sweet potato yield had been harvested, in Mississippi" says the bulletin, there was much injury to the unharvested and vines were reported killed in some other sections of the south White po- tatoes were slightly damaged in Louisiana
 Considerable damage to seed cane occurred in Georgia and F1iroda, but tn elnjured cane remains usable for syrup. In Louisiana the seed cane was mostly saved through warnings, but other cane. though generally windrowed, suffered some harm. Sorg- hum was mostly killed and sugar cane damaged in Texas and the un- cut cane in Mississippi was much damaged.
 Truck Badly Damaged.
 Truck in northern South Carolina was killed and most tender truck in northern and northwestern Florida. Louisiana, Texas and other southern states was killed, while in California tomatoes were an entire loss Beans and lettuce were somewhat damaged in the coastal plain portion of South Carolina and Georgia
 Timely Warnings Saved Truck.
 abbage. turnips and coIlards es- Ecaped injury in most of Georgia and Alabama, but in Louisiana young cabbage plants. beets and lettuce will be 50 Der cent. loss. while hardy vegetables in Texas suffered as far south as Corpus Christi. In Califor- mia severe injury to truck occurred in all save few sections. but celery in the delta district was mostly un- hurt. In Geirgia, Louisiana and oth- e rstates seed beds and much truck in fields were saved through timely warnings.
 But Little Damage to Fruit.
 'There seems to have been but lit- tie ranage to fruit in the south. Cit rus fruit in Texas stood the freeze well, save in a few more northern sections, where about half the crop was lost. Satsuna orange trees seem hurt in Mississippi, but practically uninfured fin Alabama Tn Florida the cold was rather beneficial to cit rus fruits, improving color and ship ping qualities.
 "In California citrus t.7lit in TuIare county was somewhat damaged and half the young trees near Davis were ruined; but in other parts of the state the damage to citrus was neg lfeible. Table grapes in California are practically an entire loss and un- picked olives were much hurt, but can still be used for oil"

DECISION OF ADAMSON
 LAW BEFORE JANUARY i.
Legal Skirn,sh Brought to Sudden Issue by Motion Filed by Government.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 21.-Legal skirmishiag in the fight of .he rail- roads of the United States against the Adamson eight hour law was brought to sudden issue today by 2 motion filed by the government in the United States district court nere which it is expected will result in a decision on the conStitutionalty of the law by the supreme court of the United States be- fore Jan. 1. when the law is to go into effect.
 Prolonged, unnecessary and scat tered litigation should, if possible, be avoided, otherw1se injury may result to the public and the railroads and their employees the government says In its motion as reason for its &C., tion.
 The governments motion, which was directed against Alexander New and Henry c. F'crriss. receivers for the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad, embodied two distinct requests of the court, as follows:
 "l-The government asks an imme- diate decision on the injunction peti- tion filed by the recei vers for the Mis- souri, Oklahoma and Gulf, in which the Adamson law was attacked as un- constitutional, and an order requested forbidding it's enforcement. The gov ernment contends that the injunction petition should be dismissed because sHe Ia" IS cons tltutlonal, therefore leaving the railroad no basis in equity for its action.
 "2-Should the law be held uncon- stitutional, the government asks that the court direct tine receivers for the railroad to join the government in getting the case advanced immediate ly to the supreme court of the United States for dnal decision"
 Judge William c. Hook, sitting in the case, took the motion under ad- visement and announced that he will render a decision tomorrow

 Two dollar wheat. speakers declared, will not enrich any farEler as long as the cost of labor and machinery con- tinues to rise. Distribution methods in large measure will be held re- sponsible by the committee for the high cost of food to the consumer.

New York. Nov. 21-The United States Steel Corporation tonight an- nounced an increase of 10 per cent. in the wages of the employees of it's steel Der 15 next. Wage and salary ad- vances in other departments of the corporation also will be equitably ad- justed, it was. stated. The increase affects, in all, about 100000 employees and probably adds nearly $20,00O, 900 to the corporations payroll.
 Result of Abnormal Conditions.
 Ordinarily the question of wages would not. come up for consideration or decision at this time of the year." said Chairman Ebert H. Gary, in making the announcement, but in consequence of the abnormal condi- dons now existing. it has been decided and steel companies about 10 per cent. to take effect December 15. As to other departments, increases will be equitably proportioned."
 Chairman Gary declined to make further comment, but another official of the corporation said the action of the directors was taken with due re- gard for the higher prices prevailing for necessaries in all parts of the country"
 Payroll More than s15o,ooo.
 Total salaries and wages paid to the company's 191, ,126 employees in 1915 aggregated s176,800,864.

It is esti- mated the payroll of the steel corpor- ation at this time is between S190, 000,- 900 and 0.000.0 .000 which implies an increase of approximately $20,000,090 under the higher rate of pay.
 The average wage or salary per em- ploye in 1915 was $2.92 a day, an in crease of four cents daily over the previous year. The advance to take effect in December will raise the ave- rage of wages and salaries to the highest level in the history of the cor tiop

SAILED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
 AND WITHOUT CONVOY
Through Dangerous Waters of the Race.

New London, Conn. Nov. 21-The German merchant submarine Deutsch- land, with $2,000,000 cargo and off, cial mail for Emperor William slowed in her hold, made another start for Bremen this afternoon, her dash last Friday being frustrated when she sank a conveying tug, necessitating a return to port for minor repairs.
 Her skipper Paul Koenig, changed his tactics today, for instead of steal ing out to sea under the cover of darkness as was the case last week, he boldly sailed down the harbor in broad daylight and without convoy. Local mariners were surprised when he again elected to steer his craft through the dangerous waters of the Race, where the fatal collision occur red in which five of the tugs crew were drowned.
