.FL|ERS Will HELP
DISTRESSED SHIPS
Cape May Made Base Of Navy
Service Reaching 400
Miles to Sea
SHIPPING MEN GRATlF!ED

Flying as far rs 400 miles out at sea.
United States naval aircraft will lend
assistance to vessels In distress bound
in or out Of the port of Philadelphia.
This. a. new service. will be partici-
pated in by scorS of .seaplanes, using
the station at Cape May, N. j., as
base.
Announcement of the innovation was
made by Admiral G. +. Hughes. com
mandant of the Fourth naval district.
He declared that, effective Immediately,
all available seaplanes, together with
the large radio station at Cape May,
would be put into service for this pur-
pose. w. " DID,.
Hydroplanes will be regularly as
signed to patrol duty far out to sea
all along the coast. to be on the alert
for distressed vessels, buoys out OF po-
sition or adrift, wreckage and the safe
ty of navigation generally.
Shipping Men Pleased
Shipping interests regard the step
taken by the naval air officials, in the
decision to establish co operation be-
tween the air service and the hydro
graphic Office, as one of the most i'm
portant in the history of the port Of
Philadelphia. They point out that it
will give the port reputation for un
usual safety and will expedite the sal
vaging of distressed vessels to such an
extent that hundreds of thousands of
dollars will be saved annually. .,
Under the new steamship seaplane
co operation, it will be impossible for
vessel to founder about in sinking
condition within few miles of passing
vessels and unaided, as was the case
of the wooden steamship Kusdeca,
towed into Philadelphia yesterday by
the Nicholas.
The Kusdeca sent out an s o s,
giving its latitude and longitude. and
then apparently disappeared from the
face of the sea. It was more than a
week before its fate was learned, and
e was known that it had been taken in
tow by the Italian steamship Nicholas,
bound from Genoa to Philadelphia. r.,
Station Is Instructed
instructions covering the decision to
use the. scaplancs were sent to the
commanding officer of the naval air
craft station at Cape May yesterday
b. Admiral Hughes.
"W hen ships are reported in dis
tress off the capes or within the dis
trict limits" the instructions read, "a
plane will be dispatched at the first
available opportunity to ascertain the
name of the vessel, its exact position,
and its condition. Immediate report
will be made to the branch photographic
Office, giving the fullest possible details
of the vessels plight, so that the COM
pany's agents may be notified"

ship Brings Playthines Barred by
Britain Since 1914

Made in, Germany" toys are being
unloaded today from the Holland Amey-
lea liner Sloterdyk, In port from Rot.
terdam. This is the first vessel OF the
line to reach here since this country
entered the war.
The toys we're consigned to a New
York firm, and had been held In stor-
age in Rotterdam since 1914, the own
ers having been unable to get them
across before the British blockade be-
came effective.
The Sloterdyk brought 400 tons of
general merchandise, which is being dis
charged at Pier So, South wharvcs.
The vessel will load a cargo of coal for
South America and return to Rotter-
dam with a cargo of nitrate of soda

WATCH FOR FRAUD
IN Ware BA|L|W|CKS.
Independents and Special In
spectors on Guard Against
Illegal Registration
EXPECT ARRESTS AT POLLS

3 Registration in the so-calcd ware
wards" in South Philadelphia is being
more closely guarded against fraud TO-
day, the final registration day, than
ever before in political fights here.
In addition to the corps Of detectives
and "vigiIantes" working under the
direction of the combined Moore war
board" 241 inspectors have been as
signed to South Philadelphia and river
wards by +. Lawrence Fell, chairman
of the board Of registration commission
ers.
Chairman Fell made these appoint
ments upon request Of officials OF the

legged a plot was on foot to register
''repeaters and ''phantoms by the
hundreds in Organization bailwlcEs in
a last hour effort to stem the tide oil

SO closely is the registration being
watched today that Moore leaders OK
pect to see arrests made almost as soon
as any "rcpeaters' appear on the
scene. The plan is to watch the polling
booths with the object Of arrcsting OF
Tenders on the spot--not to wait for
several days while evidence is being
gathered
Death Blow" to "Repeaters'
Independent leaders said today that
death blow had been given to the
army of imported ''repeaters.
Chairman Fell's power to appoint in
spectors was received from the last sPs-
sion Of the state Legislature. The
chairman has made it plain that his
inspectors will work in a thoroughly
nonpartisan manner: that those at
tempting illegal acts will be dealt with,
irrespective of party or faction.
In one of his addresses last night,
Congressman Moore referred to the ac-
tion of Chairman Fell in these words:
''Not only has the district attorney
given assurance that political crooked
ness and police interference with the
rights of voters shall be detected and
punished, but the registration commits
sioners, the committee of seventy and
other bodies are watching the situation.
"Stand Your Ground" Says Moore
'My advice to voters generally is to
stand their ground and not permit them
selves to be terrOrized by those who
speak for the contractor combine. The
district attorneys Office is open to those
who know of infractions of the law
The four criminal prosecutions an
nounced yesterday by the Moore forces
were increased last night by three addi-
tional cases. These were:
Lewis Meiser. twenty second division
Of the Thirty ninth ward. charged with
illegal registration and false swearing.
Alfred Hyeman. same division, charg-
ed with aiding Meiser to register lille
gally.
Walter Klauder, same division.
charged with unlawfully acting as reg
istrar and making false entry in regis
ter.
The affidavits against these three
were sworn to by John OMalley, of
