HESSIAN CAMP RUINS
FOUND ON BROADWAY
Cellar Diggers Unearth Revo-
Iutionory Relics.

The ruins of a camp occupied by the
Hessians during the American Revolu-
ton were unearthed on Broadway be-
tween 169th and 10th streets two or
three days ago by workmen who were
excavating for the foundations Of a new
motion picture theatre. The diggers
came upon an open fireplace and the
flooring of hut some twelve feet below
the surface of the ground. and Regi-
maid p. Bolton and William s. Calver OF
the New FORK Historical Society de-
clared that the ruins were part Of the
old Hessian camp.
Mr.. Bolton and Mr.. Calver, as soon as
they heard of the find, undertook to
supervise the rest of the digging and
workmen brought to view several gold
tuttoLs on which were stamped the
Hessian coat-of-arms, other buttons
which appeared to have been worn by
private soldiers and several bullets.
A second fireplace was also found.

and In a good state OF preservation. Ac-
cording to the records OF the Historical
Society, the Hesslans built some forty
or more huts in that locality during the
battles with the Continental Army under
Washington, and Mr.. Bolton and Mr..
Calver expect to discover other build
ings as well as other interesting relics

NO STRIKE PLANNED
FOR HOTEL WATERS
Lehman, Business Agent, to
v Organize Then, First.

William Lehman. secretary and bust
ness agent of Walters Union. Local No.
1, wants 1t distinctly understood that he
will not call out the walters OF the first
and second class hotels until he has or
ganized them so perfectly that the man
ayers will meet their demands. All re-
ports to the contrary are untrue. he
said yesterday at the Walters Club ip
East Twenty-seventh street, where he
explained the strike in all its ramifica-
tons to reporters.
The hotels are running open shop,
Mr.. Lehman said. The walters are not
organized there at all. so we will not
call them out until l have them organ
lied SO tight that the managers will just
say. Take what you want. but stay with
me- Any stories that I intend to call a
strike of the hotel walters are not true.
I don't intend to call a strike In the
hotels until I'm ready"
One of the reporters asked hun how
the walters strike was getting on.
How is It getting on! It's getting
on like it's getting on ! tell you like a
gentleman: it's getting on fine. We are
striking in The Bronx. Harlem and the
East Side, and Monday when the lunch
rooms and bakeries that are closed to-
day open, they will be closed. The wait
ers will walk out when the whistle
blows"
Mr.. Lehman expects the strike to
spread to-day to the lunchrooms OF the
West Side. He said many Of the pro-
prietors OF lunchrooms have met the de-
mands of the walters for an additional
IS a week: and that he expects even
more agreements" to be reached to-day.
The proprietors. as a body. made no
effort to meet the strikers yesterday.

AMUNDSEN MAY FLY
LAST LAP TO POLE
Explorer Believed to Be Drift
ing in Schooner North of
Western Siberia.
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Aug. "a. - Bound for the
North Pole, Road Amundsen, Norwegian
discoverer of the South Pole, is at pres.
ent drifting in his Ice locked schooner,
the Maud. somewhere north Of western
Siberia, according to beliefs held by the
Seattle Norwegian Vice Consulate and
VilhJalmur Stefanssor. Canadian Arctic
explorer.
In planning the trip the explorer said
he expected after reaching the pole to
return either to Grant Land. west of
Greenland. or Melville Island, which lies
In the Arctic Ocean north of Canada.
Should he reach Melville Island he prob
ably would journey by sea to Nome,
Alaska. or overland to Dawson, Yukon
Territory
Two airplanes, II Is believed, formed
part OF the Maud's equipment when she
left Norway last fall and sailed through
the White Sea bound for the icy north.
The final dash to the pole may be made
In one of the planes. Amunusen. 1t is be-
lieved. may also fly back to civilization
In one of the machines.
Nothing has been heard from Amund-
sen since September |. 1918, nearly one
year ago At that time the Maud was
reported taking oil for her motors at
Dixson Island, White Sea point. After
taking the oil she sailed northeast into
the rapidly freezing waters Of the Arctic
Ocean.
From the White Sea Amundsen ex-
poets to drift east with the ice to the New
Siberian Islands. which lie in the Arctic
of Siberia. At the New Siberian Islands,
It was believed, the drift would carry the
boat toward, Il not across. the pole.
Amundsen intended TO use the airplanes
IL he found the drift would not carry
him across the top Of the earth"
Amundsen in a degree followed the
footsteps of his countryman, Fridtjof
hansen. In 1S95-lS26 hansen in the
Fran started on a drift across the pole,
but left his boat and trien unsuccessfully
to reach the goal on foot. Later the
Fran drifted as close TO the pole as Nam
sen got.
The Maud carries wireless sending APP
paratus but no receiving instruments
Amundsen said he would not install the
receiving apparatus because he did not
want to be worried by news from the out
SIDE world.
The Norwegian Government this sum.
mer arranged to establish several food
depots on Grant Land, from Cape Co
lumbus TO Robinson Channel, for the use
of Amundsen in case he comes out by his
eastern route. If he comes toward the
west and strikes Melville Island he will
find himself on familiar ground, for he
passed near Melville Island when he dis
covered the Northwest Passage In 1903
1905.
Amundsen expects to obtain scientific
data at the pole He will take soundings
observe the ocean drifts. study the ice
conditions and bring back full reports.

HEBRON SEEKS TO
STOP RAND FUND
Boiling School, He Would De-
prive It Of $4,000 Yearly
Income.

Another falling out in the ranks of
radicalism came to light here yester-
day when 1t was learned that DR.. George
d. Heron, one OF the trustees of the
Rand School OF Social Science, has
bolted the Socialist ranks and is seeking
TO curtail the institutions income.
DR.. Heron is the one time preacher
who was appointed by President Wilson
to represent the United States In nego-
tiations with the Bolshevih OF Russia.
He is also one of two trustees of a fund
left by Mrs. E. b. Rand for the estab-
lishment and perpetuation OF the Social
list school which bears her name, the
other trustees being Morris Hillquit,
who Is held by illness In the Adiron-
dacks.
With the news of DR.. Herron's flop
from the advance guard Of radicalism
to the conservative platform comes the
information that he has written the
Burlington Savings Bank OF Burlington,
Ia, custodian OF the Rand estate, ask
ing that payments to the school be
stopped at once.
John ]. Fleming. president OF the
bank, has replied to DR.. Heron that
he can do nothing but comply with
the terms OF Mrs Rand's will, by which
the school gets about $4,000 annually
from the property, and 1t was reported
yesterday that Heron would bring
court proceedings here to divert this
flow of currency at an early date.
The dismay which this informa ton
has caused in the cults of the extrem-
lists Is great. for DR.. Heron has always
been an idol OF the long haired man
hood. and has been looked upon as
one who went to far greater extremes
than the organized cults would venture.
He has been eulogized from every So
cialistic platform time and again, and
for him to take such a stand as he now
assumes Is regarded by these cults as
the unkindest cut of ALL
At the present time DR.. Heron cares.

Rand, daughter of the school founder,
after his elopement with her. and this
woman who died several years ago left
him an abundant supply of money. The
Socialist and his second wife lived for
a long time In Italy.
From his Switzerland retreat he is
sued his recantation and tells how, from
an extreme radical who abandoned a
loving wife, four children and pulpit
to follow a rich soul mate, he has
changed to an arch enemy of radical
ism. especially when that radicalism
derives income from fund. He says
that II either Mrs. e. B. Rand or her
daughter Carrie was alive to-day she
would withdraw support from the pro
German and Bolshevik' school at II
East Fifteenth street
In addition toSthe fund which It de-
rives from the Rand estate the school
has an income from It's printing de-
partment and its classes which teach
radicalsm for a small consideration.

representatives OF the New York, West
chester and Boston Railway and the
leaders OF the striking motormen and
conductors who have stopped the sys-
tenn by walkout which went into effect
last Thursday. According to the strlk-

cause them to direct their representative,
L. @. Griffing. assistant chief OF the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
to start a sympathetic strike involving
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
system. Mr.. Griffing hurriedly left the
Herald Square Hotel last night and was
reported to be on his way to Washington
to confer with other officers of the
brotherhood.
There is small possibility of the West
chester officials giving any ground in
their attitude toward the strikers de-
mands. which call for a decided increase

Pelham Bay Park, City Island. New Ro-
chelle, White Plains and other sections
served by the Westchester road were
carried on the surface cars of the Union
Railway Company and the Westchester
trolley lines, which took care OF some
$4,000 pleasure seekers. There was very
little confusion.
In replying to the statement of the
company. which said the men did not
belong in the same classification as the
steam line engineers" the strikers ad-
vanced- the following reasons:
The New York. Westminster and Bos-
ton is an intrastate railroad. 1t is of
standard electrical equipment OF 1900
volts, while the marlborough is 500 volts.
The feed wires on the road carry $4,000
volts. Motormen have TO qualify and
take standard steam railroad examln-
ations- of the New Haven system under
the supervision OF the examiners of that
system. When employed they operate
under the rules and regulations of the
controlling road"
Such conditions, according to the
strikers, place them in the same category
with steam railroad men. The men also
denied the previous statement that they
seek a raise of 80 per cent They say
they are asking an advance which will
bring them up to the same rate of wages
as the steam engineers. When the Inter
borough pay was raised the Westchester
management voluntarily raised it's wage

refused and demanded the wages paid
the New Haven engine drivers.

Sunday Ball at
Polo Grounds Nav
Start Next Week

There is some chance that the first
regular Sunday baseball game will be
played at the Polo Grounds next Sun
day The bill permitting local option
in the matter of Sunday baseball was
signed by Governor Smith and it is
now up TO the Board Of Aldermen of tho
City of New York. A poll of the board
shows that there will be no trouble
in the passage of the law to permit
Sunday baseball at the Polo Grounds
and at Ebbets Field.
If the aldermen pass on the measure
before next Sunday the Yankees and
the Athletics will stage the first game
at the Polo Grounds. Later there will
be Sunday games at Ebbets Field. The
final action on the measure means the
schedules of both leagues will be
moved ahead. There will be no in
crease in the number of games. The
tired baseball player will have Mon
day as q day Of rest
The opposition to Sunday baseball in
the Legislature and at the hearing held
by the Governor before he signed the
bill was particularly weak 1t de-
veloped that some Of the strongest op-
ponents of the measure were persons
who did not reside in the state but felt
it their duty to legislate for New York
City. Alderman Moran, president OF
the board, was one of the strongest
advocates of local option in the matter
of Sunday baseball. He is an ardent
fan and has agreed to throw out the
first ball at the regular opening Of the
American League season at the Polo

Pop Ceers Quits Cigar
For q Briar Pipe

Ed F. Geers. the famous driver, has
changed his system after forty-eight
years as king of the reinsmen. Pop
has thrown away the famous cigar and
is biting the amber bit of French
briar. He changed on his sixty-eighth
birthday, which came in January.
No explanation goes with the change,
either. Maybe it is because the revenue
tax kept adding up and the price of n
good weed is about what one everyday
pipe would sell for
The big black cigars helped make
both Pop Geers and Barney Oldtield
famous. or course, they just helped.
Fame couldn't repulse either Pop or
Barney, for they just naturally would
monopolize the limelight most of the
time.
