There was surprise In Stricklands
tone as he answered:
"Oh, then you knew you'd lost your
purse"
"Why, r.
did you know"
Eyes. missed it last night"
But why did you pretend you didn't
know?"
Il thought you'd be angry if you
knew I'd lost the purse. 1t was care
less of me to lose it"
"But, my dear girl'-
81 just didn't want to worry YOU"
Strickland laughed.
"Wel, l wouldn't be likely to worry
about a recovered purse, would /? But
how did the purse get to Long Branch
You weren't there yesterday"
1t seemed that Strickland expected a
reply to this remark, although it was
not put in the form of a query. There
fore when May remained silent he
made the question more direct.
''Were youY'

"0n account Of Doris?'
Eyes; she wanted to know where l
was going. If l had told her | was
going to the SeashOre she would have
teased me to take her along"
There was a puzzled look on Strick-
lands face. Jealousy had never en-
tered into the relations of himself and
his beloved wife. He wore her love
as a monarch might wear the brightest
jewel in his crown, as a knight might
bear in his helmet the gage which
he dared the world to pluck away, con-
fident that the feat was beyond hui
man power. In all things he trusted
her implicitly. Why not? Never in
all the years of their love had she de-
ceived him. The very thought that she
might lie to him could never find lodg-
ment in his brain. Other women might
have secrets from their husbands, but
his May-never!
"But you told me the same thing aft
Ell Doris had gone to bed" he went on.

"Yes, you even mentioned that you

"Queer. isn't it. My thoughts must

asked Robert.
Here came a diversion, welcome be-
yond all telling to May. She saw in
the entrance of Bertha, the maid. a
sign of relief. q reprieve from her hus-
bands insiStent questioning that would
give her time TO collect her thoughts,
to frame an explanation of the visit
to Long Branch.
"AIr. Strickland's dinner is ready"
said the maid. And May added: You'd
better go in. Robert. Everything will
get cold
"AIl right. Bertha; III be there in a
moment" said Strickland, and the girl
left May laid a hand on her hus-
bands arm in gentle insistence. But

SKIPPER TAKES LIFE
WHEN CREW DESERTS
AND HE TIRES OF SEA
Barge Captain, Almost
Stranger to Family for Half
Century Before Mast,
Suicide
FINDS SAILORS SCARCE

/. Worry over the desertIon Of his crew
caused Julius Mueller. captain of the
Philadelphia ana Reading coal barge
Cocalico, to commit suicide early today
IN the cabin of the vessel by shooting
himself through the right temple. Mueller
was SIS years old and had followed the
sea for many years. In his younger days,
It Is said, he commanded many clipper
sailing ships which piled from Atlantic
ports. He lived at 24O Byron street,
Camden.
The Cocalico came into port yesterday
from Bangor, Me, and when the vessel
docked at the pier, foot OF Lehigh avenue,
Port Richmond, all of the crew deserted,
including the donkeymen and able seamen.
The old sea captain was in despair at the
occurrence. Because of the scarcity of
labor he knew that Il would be difficult to
pick UP another crew.
Early today the cook on the barge,
oscar Anderson, of 1895 Richmond street,
this city, found the old sea captain lying In
the cabin with tiny stream Of blood trick
ling from his right temple. He summoned
Detective Ernest Wheatley, Of the Phila-
delphia and Reading police. The body
was taken TO the Roosevelt Hospital and
then to the Morgue.
Mueller is survived by a widow and
two sons, Fred and William Mueller. who
live on Byron street, Camden. The little
cottage of the Mueller family Is situated
near the waterfront, and almost directly
across the river at the foot of Lehigh
avenue Is moored the barge where Captain
Mueller ended his life.

JAPANESE RESENT
INCLUSION WITH HINDUS
Ambassador Asks President to
Have Phrasing of Immigra-
ton Bill Changed

WASHINGTON, April 21.-President
Wilson was asked today by Viscount
Sutemi Chinda, the Japanese Ambassador,
to have the phraseology of the Burnett
immigration bill, now before the Senate
Immigration Committee. changed so that
the apparent coupling of the Japanese
people with those OF Hindu nationality
would be eliminated. The Ambassador
had talked the matter over with Secre-
tary Lansing and, at the request of the
latter, asked the President today to take
the matter up with Senator Smith, of
South Carolina. chairman of the commit
tee. The President is expected to ask
that the bill be changed to carry the
language agreed upon in this connection
two years ago, when similar PROPOSE
tlon came up.
1t is understood that the Japanese AM
bassador called the Presidents attention
to the fact that the Japanese Government
had agreed to restrict coolie immigra-
ton TO the United States at the time
of the original California immigration dis
pute and protested that now to write
provision of this character into the bill
would be an implied reflection upon the
good faith of the Japanese nation. And
the apparent inclusion of all the Japanese
people with the Hindu class, the Ambas-
sador explained. would be q serious af-
front to the Japanege..

or infantry in this district may leave
Philadelphia without special permission
from the commanding officer. Command
grant such permission unless the militia-
men show that 1t is absolutely necessary
for them to make a visit outside the city.
That the instructions from Washington
have virtually placed the militiamen on a
strict war footing was shown today by
an officer, when he explained that IL any
militiamen violated orders relating to
leaves of absence he would be arrested
and court-martialed. The War Depart
ment has issued similar orders to the
militia of New York, Massachusetts, New
Jersey Illinois and several other States.

officers are spending the day looking over
