Record of Bridal Journey.

Record OF Brldal Journey.
From Mr.. Philip Metz, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Metz of this city,
who with his bride is on his wedding
journey to Japan, comes the most
interesting and complete letters that
ever a bridal pair sent back to the
friends at home. The journey begins
at the time OF their arrival in Van
couyer, from which city they sailed
on the Empress Of Russia for the
east January 26.
The rumor of German raider in
the Pacific alarmed the travellers, but
the Marconi wireless newspaper on
board gave no information in regard
TO it.
"The sea has been very rough since
we started" wrote Mr.. Metz, "and
the waves appear tremendously high;
thought we were at least experience
ing a violent gale when l came on
deck the first morning and saw the
heavy sea rolling. However, sailor
whom | spoke to, informed me that
only a mild sea was running. | knew
that this would be his answer, since
seafaring men never seem to admit
that the sea is anything but mill
pond; it is their chief delight, ] be-
lieve, to cali hurricane or typhoon
"A bit OF choppy sea, sir, and then
watch the innocent landlubber ques.
toner. They are either born opti-
inists or most proficient prevarlca-
tors"
A dance on shipboard provoked
comment from Mr.. Metz. an the eve
nings dance is held in the reception
hall, but the conditions under which
one must trip the light fantastic are
not at all conducive to peaceful dane
ing. For one thing, the Philippine
band on board was not brought up
on the one-step and fox-trot, and the
sounds they bring forth from their
instruments, while pleasing to the ear,
are more fitted for their own native
dances than for the modern American
ballroom steps. But one can't be too
particular on shipboard, and the wo-
men must be appeased, so we trip

GUARD ALL DETAILS.
Associated PreSs)

Berlin, Jan. 2O.-News of the safe
arrival of the Yarrowdale in German
port has added to the qualification ex-
pressed in the German press over the
exploit of the mysterious German COM
merce raider, as reported from Brit
ish sources.
The name of the cruiser and its COM
mander and all details regarding its
size, speed and armament are being
withheld by the naval authorities, and
nothing was known until today about
the arrival of the Yarrowdale, al
though she has been in port for more
than a fortnight. The nationality of
the neutrals among the captured
crews is unknown, but some Of the
captives were held as prisoners OF
war, because they accepted service on
an armed merchantmen.
The prize commander, Petty Officer
Badewitz, was member of the cruiser
raider Moewe, and was in command
of the Westbourne, which brought the
crews Of the ships sunk by that raid
er to Tenneiffe. He afterward de-
stroyed the Westbourne to prevent
her falling into the hands of English
cruisers.
Badewit1 was held in Spain, but sue
ceeded in escaping.

FORCES OLD ISSUE.
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Jan. 20.-The German
admiralty statement that the neutral
subjects of the crews of the vessels
captured by the German raider in the
south Atlantic "have been removed as
prisoners Of war;" will raise cOmpli-
Gated question, if any Americans be
among them.
The questions turn on whether an
armed merchant ship is war vessel,
and the gulf between this country and
Germany on that question is still un-
abridged.
No indication has been received that
any vessel sunk by the raider was 9TH
er than defensively armed.
The German admiralty statement
made just at this time, when the arm
ed ship issue between the two coun-
tries is becoming more complicated,
is taken to f0reshadow more pro-
nounced attitude as to the question on
Germany's part.

DEMAND NAME
Of SOl0N WHO
PADDED BILL

Discussion became heated on the
floor of the house this afternoon when
Representative l.. l.. Stair offered Il
resolution that Representative James
Rice be required to give the name OF
the representative who padded his
mileage AGO miles or else admit to
the house that he had slandered each
and every member and apologize for
the misstatement.
Representative Stair also asked that
Representative Rice be required to
explain to the house the reason for
his own mileage being greatly in eX-
cess Of that allowed the representa-
tive from his own district who had
the same distance to travel.
The clash on the floor was the cul-
mination of remarks made by Rice
yesterday afternoon that he would
recommend such member for man.
ager of the state-owned packing plant
when one was started"
"The charge of Representative Rice
as published on the front page of The
Tribune yesterday afternoon reflects
on all of us. unless that gentleman
gives the mans name," said Stair.
II said that one man put in his
mileage for 460 miles more than the
shortest route allowed. 1t remains
for this house to decide whether a
man can come the lons or the short
way. l am going to back my stand
answered Rice
"Your explanation is not entirely
satisfactory" replied Stair.
Representative Miller declared he
did not think that Rice was trying to
discriminate any of the members. At
torney Tenneson, one Of the several to
speak, cited the law allowing 10 cents
for every mile for going to and re-
turning from the legislature ION the
most usual route
Representative Toghaug moved that
the resolution be laid on the table and
all records expunged.

substance of the statement ISSUED last
night by President Crawford and other
members Of the board.
The members declare that If Gov
ernor Frazier's contention is correct
in dismissing the members OF this board
without due process Of law, then the
,,olicies Of the board will forever be
hampered by "pOlitical whim and ca
price" and it will be impossible to main-

STATEMENT OF THE BOARD.
The statement Of the board as issued
last night is as follows:
"AlthOugh the newspaper is not the
I proper place to try and determine legal
controversies. yet we feel our duty to
the public demands that we define our
attitude relative to the illegal and ull-
warranted position assumed by Coy.
Frazier. After full investigation and

our appointments were lawfully made.
All our acts have been in conformity
to the law and I'VE respectfully invite
Gov. Frazier stO submit the questions
involved in any court Of competent jur-
iSdcti0n.
His action in attempting to remove
the board IL iMlRlled hy political neces-
sity and he admits. is based on Il legal
tcchnicality. which we are advised .'a y
immaterial and inRnO way bears pen
our fitness our ability to serve the
public or the, institutions under ,o'V
control. If Coy, Frazier's contention
is correct. th;ltlle, has power to dismiss
the members ,0f this board although
appointed foE',,ii definite term, summar-
ily and witli0Mt due process Of law,
then the policies of this board will be
forever hamptred by political whim
and caprice and 1t will be impossible to
maintain consistent and continuous
educational system. The board Of re-
gents is an educational board and con-
tin,,ous board, One-third retiring each
two years. Institutions are sensitive
and grow only when nurtured under
definite and well settled educational
and administrative policies. Too much
experience cannot be acquired for Il
wise and proper expenditure of mil
lion dollars II year. We feel that II
board constituted as the law provides
will serve the state much better than
an entire board made up Of new and
inexperienced members. The states
interests are paramount We are mere

To Guard Neutrality.
Nearly all South American nations
We're today taking steps to guard
their neutrality. The Uruguayan gov
ernment has brought one ship to its
coast line to patrol the coast line and
guard the nations neutrality. Several
other nations have taken similar steps.
A wireless message from the Falkland
Islands today reported six British
cruisers leaving there to search for
the raider.
Evidence multiplied here today that
the commander of the raider is scrup-
ulously obeying all the rules Of inter-
national law. He is avoiding attack
ing passenger ships, and is avoiding
anything that might lead to interna-
tional complications. Only cargo boats
have been so far captured or sunk.
The German commander is even avoid
ing gunshots against the vessels he
overhauls, until the crew has been
taken off. All survivors state the raid
er has great speed. ,.-
All shipping from here today was
indefinitely suspended.
