A PRIZE CREW ON SHIP
OLD PASSPORT ISSUED IN
1884 TAKEN UP IN N. Y

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The recent
order of the state department under
which customs officials take from
American passengers arriving from
abroad their passports has disclosed
scme documents that are almost yel-
low with age.
On one of the ships that arrived
kere was a passport issued in 1884
and signed by Levi P. Morton, then
minister to France. This passport,
issued to the foreign representative
3f New York importint house,
showed by its many endorsements
and stmps that it had travelled over
the greater part of the civilized
world.
Since the war began and with it
more rigid requirements for pass
ports, number have been taken up
that were not large enough to carry
all the endorsements and revenue
stamps required, consequently consul

lar representatives abroad have en-
larged the original document by at
taching additional sheets. One of
these taken from passenger recently
from the West Indies was made up
with two sheets besides the original
and almost every available inch of
space was covered with rubber stamp
Impressions, consular seals, revenue
stamps and photographs.
The new order taking effect Jan.

here nearly 500 of the documents,

DAMAGE is REPORTED AT
SEVERAL TOWNS ON RIVER
Business Men Meet and Devise
Plans for the Relief of Those
Who Have Been Made Home
less by the Flood.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. l.
Clearing weather throughout the state
gave "A brighter touch to the general
flood situation today, but reports were
received Of several breaks in levees
where hard fights have been made in
the last few days. The accompanying
cold weather also brought reports OF
suffering among the thousands who
have been driven from their homes
along the White and Arkansas rivers.
Flood waters from the White river
broke through the Rock Island levee
at Newport at two places early today,
flooding that town. The residents
were prepared for the danger and
movable property and livestock had
been taken to high ground. Reports
from Helena were that the levee at
McClelland in the southeastern part
of the state, also gave way this morn
ing. the flood waters spreading over
hundreds of acres.
Fort Smith reported that Mayor
Reid of that city has appointed a com
mittee of business men to devise plans
of relief in the western part of the
state. Clothing, food and medical at
tention is needed by many who have
sought refuge in the larger towns.

bassy and also Collector of the Port
Norman R. Hamilton, at Norfolk.
From the fort the lieutenant and
consul went to Mr. Won Schillin's Of
flee at Hampton, where they were in
close conference, and from Hampton
they planned to go to Norfolk to
confer with Collector Hamilton.
Pending, receipt of instructions from
Collector Hamilton, no one was al
lowed on or near the Appam. Guards
are at he rails on every side and no
gangplank was down. Efforts to COM
municate from small boats encircling
the steamer were fruitless.
The Appam has one three-pounder
mounted on her bow, but whether this
was on board before her capture or
was mounted by the Germans could
not be ascertained. She was brought
in under the German man-of-war flag,
instead of the German merchant flag,
and her name was given to the quar-
antine officer as III. M. S. Appal, "
meaning the German warship Appam,
it is said
When asked for information Lieut..
Berg merely shook his head. He is a
small man of slight build.
Whether the German commander is
desirous of interning as German
man-of-war or whether he is merely
asking refuge as a merchant ship
could not be ascertained, but it is the
belief of those who have talked with
Lieut.. Berg that he has ben instruct
ed to intern as a German converted
cruiser. The all-important question
to be settled say naval officers here,
is whether Lieut.. Berk had the right
to bring in a prize of war as German
warship. This probably will be dis
cussed at the conference with Collect.
or Hamilton.
After the conference between Lieut.
Berg and Consul Won Schilling at
Hampton they returned to Old Point
and Lieut.. Berg went aboard the
Appam. Within a few minutes he re,
turned to the dock at Old Point at.
tired in civilian clothes and he and
the consul left for Norfolk. They ar.
rived in Norfolk about 1:30 and
lunched with Collector Hamilton at 2
O'Clock. it is understood. The ulti
mate disposition of the Appam will in
all probability be decided at this con
ferecne.

RAD|UM MARKET
HAS COLLAPSED
RARE ARTICLE is QUOTED AT
ONLY $9ooo,oco A PoUND-WAR
AFFECTING INDUSTRY.

More than $9,0O0,0OO a pound would
be the price asked for radium were
that quantity of the valuable metal
available and for sale at one time.
Late in 1915 there was sold in this
country one and one-tenth grams of
radium (element at the rate of $120,-
600 a gram, according to a report is
sued by the United States geo.
logical survey. The entire output of
the United States last year, however,
was only grams. or about 1-76 of a
pound aVoffdupOiS. The European war
caused a great slump in the produc-
ton of radium, as in 1914 there were
22.3 grams produced.
THE United States has the larg-
est known radium bearing desopits in
the world" says the geological sur
vey, "but the market for radium is
mostly in Europe, for, although Amer
leans like to feel that they are suf-
ficiently progressive to take hold of
and use to the full new discoveries,
inventions and processes, yet the
EulOpCdH IHulIlClp pdlltl6S anu uOS-
pitfalls have ben buying and utilizing
most OF the radium produced. When
the war began, therefore, causing
European money to flow into other
channels, the demand for radium fell
loff so greatly that there was prac-
tically no market for radium or ura-
mum ores in the early part of 1915,
and very little market during any
part of the year"
AS result of the collapse of the
radium market mining of radium-
bearing ores, except for such work
as was necessary to hold claims,
was nearly stopped. Through the eff
forts of the experts of the United
States bureau of mines a process has
been developed by which radium has
been produced at a cost of $37,500 a
gram. The principal fields of the ra-
dium-bearing ores are in Colorado and
Utah.
