TO ENEMY. ALIENS
Germans Warned Not to Go on
Excursion Steamers

New York, July 27.-United State
! Attorney General Gregory last nigh
issued orders to United States Mar.
shall Thomas D. Mccarthy to bar al
Germans, whether the possessors OF
barred zone permits or not, from al
vessels, except ferryboats, plying in
the waters in and about New York.
This notice will be served upon the
various steamboat lines this morning,
Such enemy aliens as may violate the
order risk immediate internment for
the duration of the war.
BY the terms of the order Mr.. Nc
Carthy said last night, that all Coney
Island and other excursion boats ply
ing to New Jersey resorts, vessels Of
the various Hudson River lines all
Sound boats. and boats running to
Boston and other Eastern points are
affected. So also are the fishing boats
and the boats which on Sunday and
holidays ply between New York and
Connecticut and Rhode Island points.
The order is the result of protests
made against the anomaly by which
docks lest they obtain information of
military value to Germany and yet
permitted to roam at will in the har-
Dor and sound and along the Hudson
river. Thus, when Pershing's men
were making ready to leave for
France thousands watched the pro-
gress of the movement and noted the
ships on which men were already
EN- barked and awaiting the word to
start.
The ferries still remain open to
is explained nothing will be done
that might inconvenience German
residents on Staten Island or having
business there. There are a large
number of these including many who
live near the shipyards where work
is being done on ships taken over
for the government transport service.
It is expected that protests will be
made against the enforcement Of the
order not only by Germans but by the
owners of some of the boats which run
in the lines affected on the ground
that it is undue interference with
their business. Inasmuch as these
lines are as rule loaded to capacity
it is not to be expected that the pro-
tests will have much effect.
They also offered the opportunity of
seeing what was being done at the
navy yard, and the movements of
ships, men and supplies from various
Guiding Newport.

GINNELL BUSTED
FROM Lower HOUSE
Sim Feiner Refuses to Sit Down
and Is Elected

London, July 27.-Two incidents
yesterday tended to upset the usual
decorum of the house Of commons
The first was the forcible suspension
of Laurence Ginnell, the only out
and-out Sim Feinre in the house,
who insisted on telling of a govern
ment plot to assassinate him. The
second was the challenge to mortal
combat" issued to Major Shee by
Pemberton Billing.
After the question period Ginnell
declared that the government had
sent secret service men to the house
to discredit the Sim Fem movement.
and asserted that had they been
searched bombs would have been
found on them. His sally provoked
roars of laughter, but he continued
to read a number of threatening and
abusive letters, and then said with a.
dramatic flourish:
Il believe my life is in danger in
this county. If my life is taken my
death will be a death for Ireland. and
1 consider it cheap"
He refused to take His seat when
told to do SO. and the speaker or
dered his ejectment. The house ad-
journed while attendants hustled the
unruly member out.
Pemberton Billing issued his chaI-
lenge to Major Archer Shee to fight
twentyround battle at the National
Sporting club under the MARQUIS of
Queensbury rules The alterations
of the two members over their excit-
able championship of air service
grievances had ceased to interest the
house, but yesterday Shee violently
attacked Billing for calling certain
British officers liars.
Separated by Police.
Later they met in the palace yard
and came to blows, the police sep
arating them after an indecisive COM
bat, though each suffered sufficient
infflury to prevent him from appear
ing today. To the delight of the
sporting element in the Commons
formal challenge has, now been is
sued, though for a century past men,
bers of Parliament have ceased to
decide their quarrels by fisticuffs.
The proceeds are to be given to the
Red Cross, while the famous refere,
Eugene Corey, has already offered
his services Despite the handicap of
age the betting favors Shee, but there
is reason to believe that the affair
will not be allowed to go any further.

ARREST FOLLOWS COLLISION.
Bristol Auto Driver to Appear il
Police Court.


An automobile collision occurred in
front of the Traut residence on the
Plainville road last night with disas-
trous results to both cars. AS a re-
suit Henry Cadarette of Bristol was
arrested by the local police on the
charge of violating the motor vehicle
law by reckless driving while under
the influence of intoxicating liquor and
will appear in the police court tomor-
row morning.
The colliding machines were driven
by Cadarette and Samuel Caplin of
this city. Cadarette is also said to
have been driving without a license.
Policeman A. C. Malone, who passed
the scene of the wreck soon after the
accident, will appear against the
Bristol man. Both cars were heavily
loaded and were so badly damaged
that it is a wonder the occupants
escaped with their lives. Caplin's car
had an axel bent and the running
board torn off but was able to come
back to New Britain under its own
power, but a service car had to be
called from Bristol to tow the other
car to that city, as the front end OF
it was demolished.
The crash of the compact was heard
for some distance and about SO auto
mobiles soon gathered on the scene.
The police were notified soon after the
accident and arrived on the scene in
record time. Within half an hour the
cars had been taken away and all
signs of the accident removed

GENERAL TONE OF
MARKET IS UPWARD
Prices Show Improvement Dur:
ing Greater Part Of Day

Wall Street-Except for Industrial
at the opening of today's trading were
limited to fractions, with an even dis
tribution of gains and losses. St.
Paul added to yesterdays belated re-
covery, but steels and equipments
were irregular and m otors decidedly
reactionary. Dealings were light and
exceedingly narrow.
Prices sagged all around soon after
the opening on further heaviness Of
motors and shippings, declines in
these issues extending from 1 to ~
points. The market reversed it's
course before noon, however, on a
fair inquiry for steels, coppers, oils
and specialties. Alcohol scored an
extreme advance Of 3 points, but rails
made little progress. Liberty bonds
sold at 99.40 to 99.44 and internation-
ais were slightly lower.
The stagnation of the mid-session
was partly relieved by additional
gains, mostly in specialties. These
were featured by Baldwin LOGON olive.
Mexican Petroleum, Maxwell Motors
and Sumatra Tobacco at advances Of
1 to points.
Closing-Leaders made best prices
in the last hour, their advance being
offset, however, by heaviness in St
Paul and American Telephone. The
closing was strong. Sales approximate
ed $4,000 shares.
