YONKERS, April 80. Walter Spreck-
els, nephew of the late Claus Spreck-
els. millionaire sugar king, was for
hidden to-day to enter the sugar fac
tory of which he has been general
manager for more than sixteen wears
The action was taken by the local

The factory, the Federal Sugar Re.
inning Company, is CT the Yonkers

tar, general offices of the company.

Lutherans Pledge
Loyalty to Nation

Representatives of Lutheran congre-
cations in the East who are attending
the annual convention of the Atlantic
district of the Missouri Synod at the
Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Lexington
Avenue and Eighty-eighth Street
passed resolutions yesterday pledging
their loyalty to the United States and
emphatically denying all imputations Of
disloyalty.
The resolution asserted there are
more than 10000 Lutheran men in the
service of the country.
In discussing the resolution members
of the synod declared there was no
more democratic institution in the
world than the Lutheran Church. They
added that years ago the American Lu-
therans testified against the state
churches of Germany as being thor
oughly un-Lutheran and rationalistic.
The most emphatic denial of all was
given to the allegation that German
propaganda was being circulated in Lu-
theran schools. The speakers declared
all textbooks used in American Lu-
theran schools had been prepared in
America and breathed to the fullest the
spirit of American patriotism.

Prussian Lower House
Defeats Reform Delay

AMSTERDAM, April 3o.-The Prus-
sian lower house has had discussion on
the motion of the Centrist member,
Count Spec, in favor of adjourning the
electoral reform bill until after peace
has been declared, on the ground that
the soldiers ought to return home be-
fore any electoral reform took place.
Adolph Hoffman,, Independent So
cialist, said that if the motion was
adopted he would appeal to the SOL
diers to step fighting, a statement
which led to shouts of SHANE! With
draw! Traitor!"
A very acrimonious debate ensued,
and after brief recess Count Specs
motion was rejected, 333 to 60.
Count Won Hertling, Imperial Chan
cellor, in the subsequent debate, said:
"The proceedings might evoke doubt
whether we shall reach an understand
ing, but they also show how strong the
feeling of responsibility is on all sides
This affords me the hope that we will
find a common road for The reconciling
of diverga ancies in opinion"
Proceeding to analyze the bill and
the various motions before the house
Count Won Hertling remarked:
"Plutocratic suffrage, which gauges
political rights according to wealth, is
to-day no longer possible in our nation
The government, therefore, cannot
countenance plutocratic suffrage. Equal
suffrage must be fundamentally ad-
hercd to. The promise given must be
redeemed. In all modern states polit.
ical and social life is being directed
toward this goal. In many states equal
suffrage already has gone far beyond
what this bill proposes, and in the long
run it is impossible for Prussia ia
escape this movements

Astor Defeats Morgan


J. P. Morgan lost out yesterday in
his fight before the Board of Stand
ards and Appeals to prevent Baron
William Waldorf Astor from obtaining
permission to erect a seven story
building for business purposes on the
Astor property on the west side of
Madison Avenue. between Thirty-fifth
and Thirty-sixth streets. The board
granted the permission.
Edmund L. Bayliss, representing Mr.
Morgan, who lives diagonally across
from the proposed building site, ap-
peared and objected. The matter has
been before the Board of Appeals and
the Board of Estimate on several prev.
ious occasions, but no decision had
ben rendered. The question at issue
was the justice of building restric-
ton that permitted trade at the Fifth
Avenue end of the block and barred it
from the other end.

Drys Win in 4 of S
Jersey Liquor Fights
Verona and Caldwell Results
Are Surprises; Vets Win
Former, Lose Latter

MoNTCLAIR, N. j., April so:-Five
Guiding this village, Voted on the liquor
question to-day, with the result that
four will be dry in the future and only
one, Verona, will continue to grant
licenses for the sale Of liquor. The
vote in Verona was a surprise, as it
was generally believed the village would
go dry.
At the same time Caldwell, N. j.,
which was expected to vote wet, re-
the dry column by majority of three
votes. The election there was the most
exciting held in any of the villages.
Up to late hour it was conceded
that the vets had carried the town.
Several New York commuters who ar
rive each day on the 6:35 p. m. train,
however, were known to be in favor of
no license, and several women volun-
teered to meet the train in their auto
mobiles and rush tho nc. to the polls
before they closed They did, and the
result was as Indicated.
In Montclair the drys carried the
town by thirty votes. A contest is pre-
dicted, however, and the final decision
will not be known definitely until the
soldier vote, of which there are more
than 400 to be cast, has been Tailed.
Maplewood Township went dry by a
heavy vote. and as result four places
now selling liuor will lose their
licenses. Only about 60 per cent of the
total vote went to the polls.
The result of the elections make four
Of the nine towns in the West Essex
section dry. All the towns which have
voted down the liquor interests are

Smashed by Storm,
Wracked by Disease
Ship Reaches Port
Scurvy Kills Three, While
All Others Aboard Her
Are Stricken

AN ATLANTIC PORT, April 80
veritable "hell ship" the barkentine
John G. Meyer, with two of her crew
dead of scurvy, and the rest suffering
from the disease, has reached this port,
with Captain Henry Kruger the only
person aboard left to navigate the ves-
sci. A third member of the crew died
soon after the ship came into port,
while six others are critically i'll in
the Marine Hospital here.
The disastrous trip of the Meyer
started three months ago from Skonda,
British West Africa. In February the
scurvy began to make it's appearance,
and among the first OF it's victims was
sixty-eight years old, whose home was
with his sister, Mrs. Sophie Lehr, at
9 Hamilton Avenue, Brooklyn.
For month the mate fought off the
disease, then succumbed on March II,
and was buried at sea. The rest of the
crew were down with the disease by
this time, and Captain Kruger's log
records the fact that the men were too
weak to send the shrouded body over
the side, ana had to make many at
tempts before it was put over the rail.
Then, with the entire crew crippled,
the barkentine ran into a storm On
March 81. Not a hand was moved to
make the vessel ready to ride out the
gale. The seas climbed over her sides,
the wind ripped off sails, rigging and
masts. Practically a wreck, the John
C. Meyers wallowed for three days in
the trough of the sea, with Captain
Kruger at the wheel, doing his best to
keep her nose straight.
One Of the sick sailors, August Laine,
rose from his bunk after the storm had
passed, and helped Captain Kruger rig
up jury mast, by the aid of which, in
five weeks, the barkentne reached this
port. Laine, worn% out by his heroic
effort, died a few days later, the sec
ond victim of the trip.
The cook was among those taken i'll,
and all the food eaten had to be cooked
by the mon themselves. Lack of nour-
ishment aggravated the ravages of the
scurvy. When the ship reached this
port, flying the two yellow flags calling
for the health officers, all Of the crew
were taken off. Charles Anderson died
a few hours after removal to the hos
pital
