COURSE IS CHANGED

At o'clock this morning Schiller re- lea sed Captain Bergner and, still gripping revolver in either hand, ordered the steamer headed towards the shore Other officers and members of the crew were likewise ordered to their places and told to put on all speed for the Delaware Capes. When tie Matoppo came Within sight of land s5out noon Schiller had a small boat lowered to take him ashore. Meanwhile the steamers signals, asking for assistance. had been sighted by the pilot boat Philadelphis, which immediate ly responded to the call and took the small boat in tow. dsregarding the threats of Schiller, who still was in possession of his guns and threatened to shoot any tody who put hand on him.
 Steaming for the Delaware breakwater. the Philadelphia was met off Cape Hen open, Del, by a coast guard powerboat, which had put out from Lewes in answer to the Matoppo's signals. Captain John S. Lynch, coast guard keeper at this station, who was in command of the powerboat. made short work of disarm- ing Schiller, who was placed in irons and brought ashore. Later he was locked up in the jail here and the United States district attorney at Wilmington and the British consul general at Philadelphia were notified. Both are expected here to- mOrroW

NOT MUNITIONS SHIP

First reports today were that the Ma toppo carried cargo of munitions for the entente allies and that Schiller was in the employ of the German government. These, however, are discredited by Cap- tain Bergner, as we'll as government of fieials here Bergner denied emphatically that his ship has on board any muni- tions. He said he believes Schiller's sole object was to obtain money he thought was in the ships safe. Government of ticials expressed the opinion that the mans mind is unbalanced.
 Since being placed in jail the prisoner, who speaks excellent English. has re- fused to discuss his alleged exploits. He said, however. that he had been living for the past eight months at Hoboken and for number If years had lived in England. He said he had been slowed away in the Matoppo for five days before she sailed.
 Investigation failed t0 reveal any of the bombs Schiller claimed to have concealed aboard the boat and Captain Bergner now believes these statements were made to intimidate himself and his crew.

ECONOMICALLY UNSOUND

In a constructive sense, Senator Under wood proved that the United States from an economic standpoint could not af- ford longer to be dependent on and pay a tribute to the government of Chile. In a preparedness sense, the government could not longer afford to increase it's army and navy without furnishing pow der for the use of both. In a domestic sense that through the use of fertilizer the government could not longer afford to forego an opportunity which would make all agricultural sections rich, re- duce by half the annual bill of the Amer ican farmer and lower materially the cost of living throughout America. Dur ing the long address Senator Underwood was interrupted often. but he managed on each occasion to hold his own con- cusively.
 Senator Works expressed a doubt, for instance, that the government had the right to manufacture fertilizer. The speaker replied that fertilizer was nec- essary in time of war for the produc- ton of food supplies. He pointed out, too, that the government, while not in the real estate business, was renting houses and collecting the rent. Senator Tiilman interposed with the contention that the government could manufacture fertilizer under the welfare of the gov- ernment'' clause. "Tn the name of God" exclaimed the peppery Carolnian, what Is the making of food but attending to the public welfare?"

 plot and splendid acting featured A~ The Saleslady," a five-part Famous Players-Paramount photo play at the Strand theatre yesterday. Miss Hazel Dawn and Irving Cum mings handled the leading roles with consummated skill, and Miss Dawn is much improved actress in the emo tonal scenes.
 The Saleslady' to be shown at the Strand today and again tomorrow can be commended to the movie fans of this city without reserve as it is one of the best that Miss Dawn has yet appeared in on the Paramount programme. ~

MT. Cummings is now at work on a picture with Marguerite Clark.

the matter of a depot at Car

Household
Hints

An old ~raincoat may be transformsd
Into an apron for wash day. soiled
raincoats (mackintoshes) can be
nicely cleaned ct home thus: Spread
the garment on 4 table and rub 1t with
warm water and good white soap IN
which has been dissolved q lump OF
carbonate Of ammonia the size Of .
pea; rinse In cold water: hang out in
the air, and upon no account put It
near the fire.
To make soap jelly, SO often recon-
mended In the cleaning Of delicate
things, melt any good laundry soap
In water over q hot fire until It be-
comes liquid. When cold it will form
a jelly, and should be nodded in small
Jars for use at various times when re-
Quired.
It is a good idea when engaged up
on delicate needlework to have q
small bowl Of white -four beside you
and to dip the fingers in 1t occasional
ly. It assists In keeping the hands
dry and the work clean.
The secret Of an especially deli
cious omelet served at a certain home
came to light the other day. More
yolks than whites are used and a lit
tie rich cream goes in when it is to be
plain or is to be seasoned with cheese.
To remove hot water marks from
Japanese trays use sweet oil. Rub it
in we'll till all marks disappear, then
polish the tray with dry flour and q
soft cloth.
Neglected brass may be polished
with a paste Of powdered bath brick
and oil. Take two pieces of the brick
and rub together. This makes a finer
powder than IL scraped with a knife.
To use up coal dust pile it carefully
on a piece of paper and lay 1t on the
fire. In this way it cal be burned
without smouldering the fire.

THE JEFFERSONIAN
POLK COUNTY FARMERS UNION
ASK FOR RURAL CREDITS.

Hon. Gordon Lee, M c.,
Dear Sir: We the members of the
Farmers Union of Polk County, Geor-
gia, in session this the 18th day of
January, 1916, ask you our Cong
ressman, to use your vote and influ-
ence for Rural Credits as promised
in the Baltimore Platform We do
not want any substitute. Two years
have passed and not a word Of that
sacred promise is written into law
The honor of the Democratic Party
is at stake All the use we have for
a party and it's representatives is to
redeem it's pledges and help us get
a square deal Fact, this is the only
use people have for any party. We
notice the great Propaganda Of the
administrator for preparedness which
we consider contrary to Democracy
as taught by the great founder Thos
Jefferson We think all these
visionary enemies are only creatures
Of imagination, Of steel magnates and
munitiOn owners, and the great capt.
talist class in general. Foreign foes
is not the nightmare, but protection
of the fabulous wealth of milliOnalres
and holding in subsection the great
masses who are being ground into
dividends Who knows but what
those same guns would be turned on
the duped laborer like those used by
oar army upon the poor miners Of
Ludlow Colorado to beat them back
and thus continue to satiate the NAV
and CAV Of John d Rockefeller.
What we want is not millions spent
to murder men with, but an appfO-
priation to Rural Credits to help men
to live aud to help them to get homes.
We think We have enough tax to
make out on.
Seventy five per cent. of our people
are homeless, with debt hanging like
millstones around their necks. And
high rates of interest eating the life
blood out Of the nation. Why not
the farmer get money from our Gov
ernment like the National Bankers,
who fatten while we tamish.
Yours for industrial freedom,
