REPORT MADE BY
CAPTAIN FRAZIER
or S. S. CHINA

SHANGHAI, China, April 2o-Capt.
Frazier, the officer in charge of the
American steamer China, which was
stopped by an English auxiliary cruiser
January IS and delayed for five hours
b. the English searching ship and
removing thirty-eight German, Aus
trian and Turkish passengers has
made a report of the occurrence to the
local agent of the China Mail line Of
this city.
Capt. Frazier protests the action OF
the British cruiser on three grounds.
He maintains the English had no right
to board the vessel with an armed
force, that the English were beyond
their rights in removing business men
travelling between neutral ports who
had passports showing they were not
military reservists, and also objects to
the delaying of the United States mails
on board.
Capt Fraziers' report says the China
left Woosung at three minutes past
eight on the morning of February IS.
At 11:25 the pilot left the steamer AMI
at 11:49 the British auxiliary cruiser
Iaurentic was sighted. The China was
then about ten miles from the mouth
OF the river. The warship ran up a
signal: stop instantly" To back uD
the request she fired two shots across
the Chinas bow. The first was blank
and the second a solid projectile The
liner hove to and hoisted the American
flag. The party that put off from the
Laurentic consisted Of three officers
and nineteen men, seven of whom
| boarded the vessel.
The passengers of the China were
mustered on deck, their passports and
the ships papers were carefully exam
ined When the examination was fin
ished the British took off twenty eight
Germans, eight Austrians and two
Turks, total of thirty-eight passen-
gers. They left one German who was
paralytic The mail carried by the
China was not molested
The British officers told Capt Fra
zier that they had been waiting fifteen
days for the China A wireless mes
sage-supposedly from Shanghai
told them of the German passengers
on the steamer and when she sailed

Advices from Nagasaki say that Mr..
Grotjahn had originally come from
Kobe to Nagasaki to board the vessel.
He learned that the China was late,
ard fearing that he might be seized il
Japan he came to Shanghai and got on
board. He fell into the hands of the
enemy with the others.
Twenty Germans and one Austrian
left NagasaM on the China for San
Francisco. Most of these were mis-
sionaries who had been deported from
Tie South Seaisland seized by Japan.

Fire Alarm System
Far From Perfect

Need of an alarm system for the Sa-
lem fire department was never more
thoroughly demonstrated than last
night.
Difficulty in getting to telephone
and miX-up in directions sent the de-
partment to Church and Ferry streets
instead of to McGilchrist avenue where
the Comstock house was on fire. After
wandering about a while the depart
ment was finally started in the right
direction but valuable time had been
lost, through no fault of the depart
ment but through lack of proper
signal system.
To complicate matters the building
was several blocks from the nearest
hydrant and this delayed getting the
water at work. Spectators declare that
the house could have perhaps been
saved If the signals had not gone wrong
and prevented the apparatus from arriv-
ing promptly.
Police Chief Welsh favors a combina-
tion fire alarm and police alarm sys-
tenn if the box system is put in. This
would serve two purposes and the cost
would be no more than if one system
only were installed.

Prices Irregular and
Generally Lower

New York, July 13.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
discount rate from five to six per cent,
marking the first change since August
s, 1914, was the outstanding feature
in the market today. What effect, if
any, this may have upon the local
security list, is matter of con-
lecture and most observers inclined to
the opinion that it had none at all.
The consensus of opinion on Wall
street has been that the recent furry
in money was merely temporary af-
fair and this opinion has been sustained
by the relaxing tendencies which have
developed since Monday.
Speculative conditions were little
changed and much disappointment and
apprehension was expressed in COM
mercial house circles over the failure
of the market to hold the moderate i'm
provement registered in standard issues
and in some specialties yesterday.
First prices were generally higher and
the early trading was marked by q re-
covery ranging from fraction to two
and three points or so. But there was
no expansion of public buying and
after the more timid shorts had COW
cred, professional traders resumed their
tactics of seeking out weak spots.
They found the motor issues peculiarly
vulnerable.
Standard issues offered better re-
sistance, but they, too, yielded in the
early afternoon.
Prices moved irregularly and uncer-
tainly in the late trading

Other Programs

With an attendance of more than
1000, the 1915 Salem Chautauqua open.
ed last evening under favorable aus
pices, so much so that even the officers
and members of the Salem Chautauaua
who had worked so hard and were in
serious doubts as to the financial sue
cess, were happy.
The guarantee of the committee,
$500 mad been raised and with this
off their minds, the friends and work
ers for the chautauqua proceeded to
enjoy an evening with the Comus Play
ers.
These players, from the University
of Oregon, fully sustained the good re-
ports of their work during this season.

lection from Gas You Like It" and

North Woods. 2"
This morning J. NJ. Erickson, super.
intendent and morning lecturer organ

tence and began to take life easy, liv-
ing at Dayton, Ohio.
Along came the Dayton flood, wash
ing away his home and all of mis- be-

Three car loads Of Indiana silos

Three car loads of Indiana silos
were shipped by the Sualding Logging
company to the Yakima valley this
week, and two ear loads to central Cal

the company has placed 75 of its silos
in Marion county, According to those
who know, silos in community indi-
cate more corn and the selling of the

pretty good evidence that corn is be-
coming one of the big crops of the

ed that only 500 acres were planted in
corn in this county. Now the estimate
is $4,000 acres, and tae prospects good
for an abundant yield.
