1OOO MARCH UP
 MI. TAMALPA|S
 ON ANNUAL TRIP
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-More nan a thousand men and women took the trail early today from Mill Valley in a mile-long single-file column up the slopes of Tamalpais, Marin coun- tvs famous mountain. The occasion was the annual meeting of the Tamal- pals Conservation club, organized six years ago to act in conjunction with municipal water companies to main tain the mountain as a public park for the people of the bay cities.
 The meeting was held at the site of the lodge to be erected at Rattlesnake Camp, little way beyond West Point. Fred R. Parker was elected president for the coming year and R. F. O'Rourke vice president The men standing bare headed. the women's bright costumes splashing with color the green of the mountain, the mixers made the can yons reverberate to their singing of the Star Spangled Banner.
 Addresses were made descriptive of the formation of the club to preserve the mountain to the mixer" when care lessness and thoughtlessness had al- most caused the closing of it's trails by water companies. The hikers have been taught sanitation, the disposal of luncheon rubbish, and fire precaution. For two years there has been no fire in the dense manzanita brush or in the undergrowth of the redwood forests.
 Trails Along Slopes
 Trails have been built along slopes and the 2600- foot peak made easily ac- ccssible by d dozen routes. Here, on a clear day, one can see wonderful pano- rama. Far out to sea, the Farallon islands stand sentinels over the wes- tern rim of the continent, with ocean liners appearing small in the distance Close by the mountains base lie Mill Valley, San Rafael and other towns twenty miles away are San Francisco Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, and far off the snowy Sierra, sometimes nebulOus and ghostly.
 Participating in today's meeting the sierra club with a membership of 1881 with headquarters in San Francisco and Los Angeles the California Al pine club, with $50 members; the AL pine Camera club, with 300 enthusiasts and many smaller organizations.

IA ARRESTED AS
 SHIP PUTS UP
 AT PORT HERE
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May b. fourteen persons, ono a German, were arrested when a British steamship ar- rived here today from d South Ameri- can port. Government officials met the vessel and perhaps never since this country entered the war were passen- gers subjected to a more thorough ex- animation
 The German, it was said, was placed under guard by the quartermaster soon after he had boarded the vessel and was not allowed to appear on deck. In their search for concealed docu- ments, the government agents even broke two hollow canes he carried and also seized photograph records in his baggage.
 Many papers of other passengers and the crew were confiscated. Even custom officials were not permitted to carry ashore passenger list, and all passports were given minute scrutiny.
 Lieutenant Commander W. H. Booth, JAS. N., who arrived on the steamship ship, that search in southern waters for the missing naval collier Cyclops had failed to reveal trace of her.
 Tell Strange Story
 Passengers brought a story to the elect that on March IS, two weeks a1er the Cyclops left a Carribean port anu long before the collier was re- ported missing, an advertisement ap- peared in Portuguese newspaper at RIo dc Janeiro, announcing that a re- puiem mass would be celebrated for Alfred l.. Moreau Gottschalk, United States consul general in Rio de Janeiro lost when the Cyclops was sunk at sea"
 It was not until April 15 that the navy department announced that the collier was missing. The advertise ment, appearing nearly month be- fore the official announcement, was signed by several prominent men in Rio de Janeiro, who later are said to have disclaimed responsibility for it's appearance.
 The passengers said it was suspected that the advertisement was inserted by German agents, to transmit re- port of their operations.
