FERRY EXCURSIONS BANNED.
staten Island Trips Too Popular
One Delaney Thinks.

John II. Delaney OF the Department of
Plants and Structures, who assumed
control OF the ferries July /. issued an
order yesterday putting an end to ex-
cursion rides to Staten Island and back
on the municipal ferries. Passengers
are now required to leave the boat at
the end of each trip and come back on
some other craft.
Mr. Delaney said that large Saturday
and Sunday night crowds necessitated
the employment of an additional collec-
tor to take fares from persons remaining
on board for the return journey. This
made operation too expensive and caused
delays, he said.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-07-28

Labor Relief was also a legitimate en-
terprise. he said. He declared that he
kept no records Of Its transactions.
Viereck was questioned as to the cir
cumstances under which DIR. William
Bayard Hale became the head of the
German Information Service. which sent
out a daily press sheet under his direc-
ton during 1915. Hale had been sent
to Mexico as personal investigator
by President Wilson. Viereck was
asked II this had had anything to do
with his selection as chief Of the German
press bureau.
Viereck answered that Hale was
chosen because OF his broad experience
as a publisher, his famous suppressed
interview with the Kaiser and the belief
of the German leaders that he had In
fiuence in Washington.
Capt, Charles l., Lloyd OF the Army
Intelligence Bureau gave out yesterday
a translation of an article in the ALICE
meine Zeitu,tg of Chemnitz. Germany, of
June 25, 1915, showing that the fact
that the Evening Mail had passed to
German control was not kept secret in
Germany. The article follows:
According to New York trade Jour-
nal the New York Evening Mai, which
up to the present time has been in the
hands of German haters. has been
bought by DR.. Edward A. Rumely Of
Laporte. Ind, as the representative of
German capitalists for s1,250,000. The
business management will remain In the
hands OF the S. 8. Mcclure corporation.
The paper will be conducted through
neutral hands, but friendly to Germany
and its allies. DR.. Rumely has lived
many years in Germany and has studied
at the universities of Heidelberg and
Freiburg."
Dr. Hale in a statement issued from
his summer home at Ashland. N. H.,
last night denied that he had edited the
speech attempting to Justify the sinking
OF the Lusitania, delivered by DR.. Dern-
burg In Cleveland, as charged yesterday
by Attorney General Lewis. DIR. Hale
declared he had no part or lot in the
speech. -,

Date Changed Twice.

Originally, 1t is said. the plants were
to have been blown up Thursday night,
but at the last minute II was decided TO
change the fuse OF the bomb. The plot
tiers fixed o'clock for the time Friday
night, but II was evidently not dark
enough at that time and another change
in the plans was made.
Heineman claims that Bischoff is the
leader and said he knew nothing about
the plot until last Thursday, when
Rschoff induced him to take part in
the affair.
The Federal agents found a small bot
tie OF arsenic among Bischoff's effects
and batch of drawings of the mechan-
isms of bombs and explanatory sketches
pertaining to their manufacture.

Prices High in ysia.

prices are exceptionally high in Ma
laysia as everywhere. and 1t is almost
impossible to get canned goods. iron
and steel implements. print paper or
white cloth This latter is no little
hardship, as nearly all the clothes worn
by the white people there are OF this
material.
Rubber was very high at the begin
ming of the war Then it dropped from
$3.50 picul down to $40. GA picul is
about 1870 pounds.) Out there the rea-
son given for the tumble in price was
that the United States Government had
discovered thousands OF tons of rubber
stored away by the Germans here in
America and that the United States had
contisCated this and then placed a han
on the importation of rubber until such
time as the stores on hand could be
used up.
One result of the war will undoubt-
edly be broader colonial policy on the
part OF Great Britain although no one
could complain of their rule over the
Federated Malay States and things are
very peaceful. The English Govern
ment after the war will undertake a
larger educational programme as part
Of its colonial policy.
81 think It Is significant that last
year. in spite of the fact that all of
its resources We're taxed to the very
limit the English Government increased
its appropriations for education by %
per cent"

Life Net Wins Medal.

The Administration medal has beer
awarded to Thomas F. Dougherty, dep
uty chief, who submitted to the Com
missioner the best suggestion for the i'm
provement of the Department. Chief
Doughertys idea is that OF special
life net to be carried on hose wagons
and used when the larger and ordinary
life net Is not at hand. 1t is a sort
of breeches buoy. Men go to the tops
of buildings on each side OF the BURNING
building and lower ropes to which the
life net Is attached. 1t Is then raised
to the level of the window at which the
person to be rescued Is standing. 1t has
been shown to be practicable

Gently they raised s57, 900 for this cause.
The boys of our own Anglo Chinese
school last year gave over $4,000 toward
war charities
THE Chinese in Singapore have al
| ready raised s1,00O.000 for the Metho-
dist centenary, which sum will hbe used
in Singapore and a great portion of 1t
for the Anglo Chinese College. Various
fields in Malaysia are going to raise more
than $l.500,000 for the centenary" said
Mr. Maggie. The purpose of the GEN.
tenary is TO conserve the results of the
war so that the Church can prevent any
recurrence in future of the conflict now
| raging in Europe. When our armies
have won democracy for the world the
Church must be ready to step in and

Sometimes even the missionaries get
mixed up in war;" said Mr.. Maggie.
Shortly after the outbreak of the world
war the English Government interned
all the Germans in Malaysia. The Ger
mans then bribed some of the native
troops to mutiny. There were thirty
of us holding our annual conference
when word was brought us that the
troops had mutinled and that they had
selZed cannon and were going to clean
up the streets of Singapore.
1--WE all enlisted on the spot and some
of us actually engaged in the fighting
| which followed. In week it was all
over, but some Of the German prisoners
had escaped, among them the captain
of the battleship Emden. perhaps their
, most important hostage They say he
got back safely to Germany. The
| Malaysians have been loyal ever since
the mutiny though and there has never

in war work.
He said that many of the wealthy Chi

British Government and that some or
them had given airplanes.
There are a number of wealthy Chi
nese who are giving more than tenth
of their incomes to aid the Allies" said
Mr. Maggie. Some gave large contribu-
tions toward building the battleship
Malaga. which was given by the FEEDER
ated Malay States to the British Govern

What progress has been made is not

10 is recognized that such an attempt
by the German fleet would probably
Indicate a last desperate gamble. Ma
val men are confident that the Joint

The United States and England are

ber OF the first class. In this group
