Boston. 1888; Atlanta. S9l; Philadel-
phia, 752, and st. Louis, l96. The small
number awarded in the st. Louis dis
tritc is due to the fact that the COM
mittee there decided to give honor
flags only to counties instead Of to
cities and towns.

partment last night show such an in

jury in the Supreme Court today that
her ankles are not exact mates, Miss
Alice Casteran won a verdict of
$500 damages for the injury she suf-
fered when her ankle was fractured
in a falling elevator in Broadway
theater building.
At the request of her lawyer, Miss
Casteran removed her shoes and
stockings and raised her skirts SO that
the jurors might have an unobstruct-

'Henceforth," said the lawyer, as
the twelve men surveyed the evil
dence, 'the young lady will never be
able to wear her skirts as high as the
styles prescribe, because her ankles
are not exact mates"

Gan CYCLOPS
HAVEREACHED
GERMAN PORT?
Navy Officers Scout Strange
Theory But Still Are
Mysti6ed.

The Navy Departments intelli-
gence bureau is seeking confirma-
tion of a report that the missing
United States collier Cyclops.
which disappeared en- route from
barbados to an American port,
has been towed into a German port
J and her valuable cargo of manga
nese delivered to German factories.
Despite the fact that the Cyclops
carried fifteen officers. fifty-seven
Passengers and a crew of 221 men,
officials believe 1t barely possible
that the vessel might have been
captured by a German raider and
piloted through the British block
ade into German waters. Naval
officers who decry the theory admit
that in many aspects it is the only
theory which explains how the ship
disappeared without leaving a
trace. Late reports from naval ves-
sells searching for survivors on
small islands in the South Allan
tic indicate that there is slight
reason to hope that any one
aboard the ship survived. if she
sank in a sudden storm.
May Have Had Forged Orders.
A message received from the
Cyclops the day before she sailed
stated that she would leave on the
following day for an American port
and would arrive there on April Is.
The following day a report was re-
eeived from her point of sailing that
she had left. 1t is pointed out that
, forged orders might have been de-
Ifxyarod aboard ha TN-RlnuS hafOra she
sailed which directed her to go to
England and that she might then have
been waylaid and taken into a Ger
man port. The fact that she took
aboard a coal cargo sufficient only for
a voyage to the American port and
that no record has been found which
would indicate that she met any of
the host of vessels in the trans
Atlantic trade are held by some Of
ficers to disprove the conjecture that
she Is now in a German port.
81 In answer to arguments that the
capture of a vessel and cargo of the
value OF the Cyclops would be
quickly reported by Germany in or
der to convince the German people
that the British blockade was a
failure, it is held that Germany
might have other plans afoot for
the capture of American vessels,
and therefore would be loath to dis
close any successes attained.
Believe She Turned Turtle.
The explanation for the disap-
pearance OF the vessel, which is
most widely credited. is that dur
ing a sudden storm the heavy ore
cargo shifted, and that because of
the heavy derricks lowering above
her decks the vessel was unable to
. maintain a balance and sank after
turning turtle. Officers believe that
il she went down after turning tur-
tie little wreckage would get to
the surface.
