BOATMEN NAY CUT OFF
COAL SUPPLY OF |. r. I.
TideWater Workers Take Vote
on Big Strike.

The Tidewater Boatmen's Union, con-
sisting OF 1900 members who handle
all the coal supplied TO the power
houses of the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company, began 10 take a strike
vote yesterday. Men started out from
the union headquarters at 40 Green
witch Street to distribute ballots among
the members. The majority of these
handle the coal from the boats in New
York harbor. Some of them, however,
are at New London, New Haven and
other points. Emssaries we're sent to
these places and the whole vote is ex-
pected to be in by tomorrow.
Officials of the union said yesterday
that 90 per cent Of the men would vote
to quit. 1t is expected that a strike
order will go into effect early next
week. The matter will probably be
definitely decided at the meeting Of the
district council Of the international
Longshoremen's Union tomorrow, at
564 West Twentythird Street The
forty-two local unions in this city are
represented in the international body,
including the Boatmen's Union. II may
be found advisable, it was said yester-
day, to call out all the 10000 members
of the local unions.

will protest more vigorously than ever
against interference with neutral mails
on the high seas. Although the Amer
lean government has contended strong

law, so far there has been no formal

officials here already were vexed at
England's long delay in answering the
American censorship note Of May 26,
and it is probable that any inquiry into
the new development will express that
feeling. A brief preliminary note was
received July 20, but 1t was incon-
elusive.
1t is pointed out that the War Minis
ter's attitude appears TO be in fiat con-
tradiction to that expressed by Lord
Robert Cecil. Minister Of Trade.
Lloyd Georges statement arose not
in connection with enemy trade or i'm
ports to neutral countries, but entirely
in regard TO an attempt to build up a
protective tariff wall for new British
industry against competition by impor-
tations from n neutral country.
Some days before Andrew Bonar Law
had requested a two-pound export tax
on palm nut kernels from British West
Africa TO all places but England, where
a new industry had been built up TO
replace the lost German markets. Dur
ing his argument he said information
contained in the censored letter of a
neutral oleomargarine manufactures
indicated that competition would come
from that source and that the export
tax would be necessary TO preserve the
industry TO the country.

POINCARE "SQUARE-FSTED."
French Presidents Name Has Inter-
estirg Origin.

The patronymic of VI. Poincare has
quite an interesting origin, and ono
typical Of his character, says "The
London Chronicle" In 1881 Queen
Isabella Of Bavaria and John the Fear
less, Duke of Burgundy employed a
secretary named Jehan Poingquarre.
From this it may be argued that ths
first syllable of ". Poincare's name is
derived, not from point" nothing,
or from "pont" bridge, but from
"poing" (fstl, so that the name would
appear to mean "sauare-fisted." or. IN
modern parlance, "he Of the clenched
fist" The case is further strength
ened By the fact that the expression
"poing duarr6" was current in the fif-
teenth century. being found frequently
in the ballads Of Frances old poets.

Washington, Sept. s.-The greatest
aggregate of appropriations in the
history of the United States was au-
thorized by the first session of the
Sixty-fourth Congress, which ad-
journed to-day. In all, S1,S58,3S4 ,4S5
was appropriated, exceeding the total
for the last fiscal year by more than
three-quarters of a billion dollars.
OF this amount, S655,OO0,OO0 was ap-
propriated for the reorganization and
reequipment of the army and navy,
and this total will be increased in
three years to nearly SS0O,0OOOOO
This was due TO the fact that Con-
gress was concerned chiefly with ma
tional defence in this session.
Expenditures necessitated by pre-
paredness and the calling into action
of military forces to meet the Mexican
emergency demanded revenue legis-
lation in the closing days of the ses-
sion. Congress responded by doubling
the normal tax on incomes, creating an
inheritance tax, munitions tax an
miscellaneous excise taxes to raise
S205, coo, and by directing sale of
S13O,OOO,OOO Panama Canal bonds.
Congress established a tariff com
mission: n government shipping board
to rehabilitate the American merchant
marine; a workmen's compensation
commission to administer new UNI
form compensation law; farm loan
banking system; a child labor law;
an eight-hour railroad law; enlarged
the system of self-government IN the
Philippines, and enacted many other
important laws which had been con-
templated by the Administration.
Foreign Complications.
The session was disturbed through
out by frequently recurring threats OF
foreign complications from the Euro
pean war and imminence at one time
Of a diplomatic break with Germany
interference with American mails and
commerce, invasion of American soil
and killing of Americans by MeXlca
bandits, and danger Of actual war with
Mexico.
The crisis in Congress over the in
ternational situation following Ger
many's naval order TO sink armed bel
ligerent merchantmen caused President
Wilson TO halt diplomatic negotiations
and go to the Capitol TO demand
showdown" The result was the tabllng
Of the Gore resolution in the Senate,
By a vote of IS to II. on March -, and
of the McLemore resolution IN the
House, by a vote of 276 to 142, on
March II. Immediately afterward the
President sent 70 Germany and read
&c Congress a note threatening to sever
diplomatic relations unless the German
government Immediately effected a
modification Of its methods of submar-
inc warfare"
Later in the session, trouble arose
in the Senate over the nomination OF
Louis D. Brandeis, of Boston, 70 sue
coed the late Justice Lamar as mem
Der Of the Supreme Court. Weeks or
investigation and deliberation by the
Judiciary Committee ended in con-
firmation Of Mr.. Brandeis by a large

Amsterdam, Sept. s-German news
papers greet the news Of the capture
Of the Rumanian fortress Of Turtukai
by Bulgarian and German forces with
jubilation. The Cologne Gazette" re-
calls that Field Marshal Won Moltke
considered this the best point for cross
ing the Danube, but the newspaper does
not predict a Bulgarian march against
bucharest. The "Kolnische Nolkszel-
tung" says:
"This crossing of the Danube is
barred to the Rumaniars and Russians

is a weighty victory, even II one leaves
out OF consideration possible further
successes"
