Await Intervention
In Munition Strike
Both Bliss Company and Men
Expect Mediators to
Settle Disnute

Officials of the E. w. Bliss Company
and representatives Of the $500 strik-
ers at the Fifty-third Street and Sec
ond Avenue plant both looked toward
Washington yesterday for intervention
by the War Labor Board which would
end the strike that is seriously cur
failing the company's output Of tor
pedoes and shells. Both sides acknowl-
edged that nothing short of official
action from Washington could settle
the strike.
Many of the strikers are women who
want the same pay given men for the
same work. The men say they want q
wage increase from 40 to az cents an
hour to Sc to SO cents an hour. M. J.
Carney, business agent, said that gov
crnment mediators had awarded the
workmen such raise, but that the
company had given only general 10
per cent. increase.
Vice President Page, of the Bliss
concern, asserted the whole trouble
was that the company and the work
men could not agree as to the CLASH
fcation of workmen in the various
grades, which are paid according to
skill.

Germans Accused
Of Plot to Wreck
Munition Machines
Authorities Believe Aliens
in Plants Sought to De-
stroy Gauges

Suspected Of attempting n wholesale
working on government contracts, four
men, two of them Germany enemy
aliens were apprehended yesterday by
agents of the Military Intelligence Ser
vice and turned over to Rufus w.
Sprague. director of the Enemy Alien
Bureau, for examination.
The Germans are Otto Attula, of BIB
West Eighty-eighth Street and Rich
ard Lorenz, of 316 East Eightysixth
Street. They are being detained in the
Raymon Street Jail on Presidential
warrants pending further investigation.
The names of the citizens, who are of
German birth, are being withheld by
the authorities They may be prose-
cuted under the sabotabe act.
Attula, who was arrested at the shop
of the Bond Machine and Tool Works,
at AZ Bond Street, was questioned by
Perry Arm strong, chief examiner of the
bureau He said that he was born in
Prussia in 1892 and that he came to
this country in 1910. Since that time
he has been travelling about the United
States working in machine shops. He
has brother who is a trusted en-
ployee of the Krupp Works. at Essen.
While denying that he had broken any
machinery that might obstruct war pro-
auction, he was unable to explain his
constant moving about the country
since America entered the war. Four
gauges out of six in the Bond shop
were broken.
Lorenx, who worked in the same
shop, said he came here from Germany
in the spring of 1914 because be was
not satisfied with conditions in Ger
many. He left his wife at Wittcnberg
He worked for a year in the Spcrry
Gyroscope Companys plant, and also
worked year for Bausch- -Lomb e. Co.
of Rochester. He has been travelling
about the country for the last year
and was unable to give satisfactory
explanation Of his actions.
If the plot suspected by the authori-
ties had been successful the Germans
might have greatly diminished the
munition output. 1t is said several
other suspects will be taken into Gus
tody within the next few days. 1t was
irtimated last night that the German
aliens may also be prosecuted under
the sabotage act.

Mermaid Betrayed Cap n Steve
And I les Through With Women
Skipper Of the Star Spins Sad Yarn in Which He Took
Engagement Ring to a Siren of the Sea
Only to Find Her Untrue

COuTH STREET knew something was
~ wrong when Cap'n Steve Bagnall's
little auxiliary schooner Star lounged
up at her pier at the Fulton fish mar
kct yesterday in most untidy dsarray.
In the first place, the little vessel had
been gone four months instead of the
customary four weeks. Then her top
hamper bulged and dropped like that of
& woman who has had to dress in an
upper berth.
Also there was the corroborating as
pect Of Cap'n Steve himself, the bache-
lor dandy of the old market. His
trousers actually bagged at the knees,
and the cook whispered behind his hand
that the skipper had heaved his patent
pants creasers overheard in the middle
of the Atlantic. The grizzled stubble
on the shippers face and his un-
trimmed mustache were plain for all
to see. Likewise it was noticed that
he flung his regoing coat down on
the fishy deck, and all South Street
gasped when the thrifty, cautious New
Englander- never known to take any,
thing stronger than sarsaparilla, strobe
gloomly into Jimmy McCann's and or
dered whiskey in tragic tones.
1t was from Jimmy's place that the
story of Cap'n Steve's hidden and shat
tered romance reached South Street.
Deep-sea romances, particularly the
fragile ones, have an affinity for
Jimmy's place. and most any day a
keen scented collector of romance can
stub his toe against few odd bits
Just under the swinging doors. But
the pieces don't always match as we'll
as Cap'n Steve's, nor are they often
worth while trying to fit together.
Sure, Jimmy Believed
Jimmy" propounded Cap'n Steve
With the specific gravity of the best
McCann private stock, "d'you b7ieve in
mermaids ?"
Sure" responded Jimmy, who be-
lleves in nothing whatsoever and pro-
fesses belief in everything.
"Well. don't" adjured Cap'n Steve.
Take my advice an don't. | did an
don't. Don't want M friends t. get
fooled like me. Don't b'lieve in mer-
maids an don't b1ieve in long gage
ments an don't b'lieve in Swede skip
pers: Lst'n, Jimmy!
"Thirty years ago l seen her. Just
q boy was, but cautious like, my dad
havin' often said. Steve, by, don't
never trust nothin' that wears skirts. ,
Well, she didn't wear no skirts, which
kinda lulled my 'spicions like, though
havin' my dads advice in mihd. She
kinda dwindled into a tail like mack
erel's whore you might expect skirts,

no more tops'ls set n stature o. this

hair, which was let down an lit up

Calls 8O-Cent Gas
Rate Confscatory
Counsel for Kings County
Company Submits Documents
to Support Contention

Justice Greenbaum, of the Supreme
Court, continued yesterday the hear
ing in the application of the Kings
County Lighting Company for an in
junction to restrain state and city au-
thorites from enforcing the SO-cent
gas rate, which the company contends
Is contiscatory. The testimony sub
mitted yesterday by Samuel F. Moran.
counsel for the gas company, was
largely documentary, by which it was
intended to prove that with the capital
invested in it's property and the present
cost Of operation, the petitioner could
not do business at the S0-cent rate and
still have a profit.
Mr.. Moran pointed out that with the
exception of the Consolidated and the
Brooklyn Union. all the gas companies
in New York charge between 95 cents
and S1.13 a thousand cubic feet, and
that each of these companies has an
than the Kings County Lighting Com
pany.
Oliver c. Semple, counsel for the
Public Service Commission, one of the
respondents, objected to the introduc-
ton of documents offered in support of
the gas company's contentious. Mr..
Moran explained that such proof was
admitted by Charles f. Hughes, while
acting as referee in the proceeding
brought by the Brooklyn Borough Gas
Company.
II do not believe that you should be
obliged to go into unnecessary detail
as to every penny" Justice Greenbaum
ruled. "but you should be made, when
you offer a statement like that to prove
substantially that the statement is cor
rect and upon what data it is based"
The trial will be continued on Mon

BRUTAL HUSBAND
Is HELD TO JURY

Albert Trout. arrested in Cumber-
land, charged by his wife. Edith
Trout, with unnatural practices was
held for the action Of the grand
jury by Justice Humbird. who heard
the horrible testimony from his wife
and sister-in-law, behind closed
doors. During the time she was on
the stand, Mrs. Trout said her hus-
band had whipped her until help
less to make her submit. She said
on one occasion he struck her so
hard on the jaw with his fist, which
knocked her into a corner Of her kit
chen that she was unable to open
mouth wide enough to get food into
it for three weeks. She said during
that time she had lived on liquid
nourishment. Mrs. Trout said she
had been maltreated at least four
teen months on Saturday nights.
