MUT|NEERS TAKEN
FROM j. S. VESSEL
eleven MEMBERS OF CREW
LANDED IN IRONS WHEN
SHIP REACHES HOBOKEN.
!. w. w. Aoitator Blamed for Trouble
Which Began Soon After Vessel
Put to Sea on Trip to
Europe and Return.

New YOrk.-Eleven members of the
crew of the transport America, includ-
ing two petty officers, charged with
mutiny on the high seas and other
crimes, We're taken from the ship i'm
irons on Sunday when she locked at
HObOken army pier. Others arrests are
expected to be made, as the transport
crew is reported to have been in al
most open rebellion since leaving this
port last November on trip to Europe
and return. An Industrial Worker
of the World agitator is said to have
fomented the trouble.
Six of the eleven prisoners are al
legged to have been ringleaders. Seven
are charged with mutiny on the high
seas. The others are charged with
stealing and other Offenses.
William Calkins, an ordinary sea-
man, accused of being one of the ring
leaders and who is said to have had
an l. W. w. card, was arrested by an
armed guard, who found him hiding
in the hold Of the ship after it had
locked. Calkins had been arrested at
sea for stealing, but escaped and was
reported missing.
The trouble started last November
when the vessel was on it's way to
Europe. Members of the crew who
were caught gambling refused to quit
when ordered to do so by army off,
GERS. The baggage of passengers was
looted and when ship officers ordered
the crews quarters searched a mum.
Der of automatic pistols were found.
These, 1t is said, were stolen from Off
GERS and soldier passengers.
Several days later two women pas
sengers, wives of officers on their way
to Coblenz, became hysterical when
they discovered two soldiers trying to
grain entrance to their staterOOms. On
the same day master-at-armS was
caught selling a raincoat, and every
one in the galley was found shooting
craps.
When the transport reached Brest
because of the trouble with the crew
the ship commander ordered shore
leave restricted. The crew brok out
in open rebellion and declared they
would go ashore if they had to fight
their way.
Sixty men in a barge attempted to
get ashore December 4, but were
forced to return at the point of pis-
tolls in the hands of the ships Off
GERS. A chief boatswain who hid
aboard the barge escaped. Later sew
eral of the crew stole a lifebOat and
went ashore.

OAK MARKS vENERATED SPOT
Tree Planted Where Abraham Erect
ed Altar to the Lord Has Been
Carefully Preserved.

1t Is recorded that when Abraham
was promised the possession of the
land of Canaan and was Commanded
to walk through the land," he IRE
moved his tent, and came and dwelt
In tie plain of NIamre, which Is in
Hebron, and built there an altar t.
the Lord" This spot is still marked
by great oak. venerated alike by
Christian. Jew and Mohammedan, It
is to this protection that one must
attribute its preservation in region
cleared of almost all trees by the i'm
provident Turk. The species is not
uncommon in Palestine and Major
Portal. while stationed at general head
quarters Of the British army there,
sent to Kew gardens small box of
acons which were recognized as the
fruit of Abraham's tree. Sir Joseph
Hooker visited the spot in 1860 and
wanted to secure specimen Of the
wood for Kew, but no one would cut
Off a Dough. 1t was only when the
snow, which visited Jerusalem In 1856
and which did not spare Hebron, had
broken down one ofthe oaks branches
he was able to secure a portion of II
which is to be seen to this day in one
Of the Kew museums. But more
practical fame awaits the tree. for 1t
Is with 1t that the Syrian forests will
probably be rehabilitated in the bright
era which is dawning now that the
Turk no longer rules the land.

NATIONS SHIPPERS
CALL CONFERENCE
EVERY IMPORTANT ORGANIZE.
TIoN OF SHIPPERS IN COUNTRY
INVITED TO BE PRESENT.
Provisions Of Bills Of Interest to Shin.
pers Now Before Congress to be
Discussed and Desired Changes
Suggested.

Chicago. - Representatives of ship
pers' organizations from all parts of
the country will meet in Chicago De-
cember 80 to consider national legis-
lation which will precede the return
Of the railroads to private ownership
March 1, unless congress fixes an ear
lier date.
Every important organization of
shippers in the United States has been
invited to send representatives to the
conference. The call for the meeting
declares that the pending railroad leg
islation is of grave Importance and
when enacted may control relations
between the shippers and the railroads
for generation.
Fixing of March l as the date on
which the railroads are to be returned
to private operation was approved on
December % by Hale Holden, regional
director for the central west, and r.
III. Ashton, director for the northwest
region. Before the government took
over the railroads Mr.. Holden was
president of the Chicago, Burlington
4 Quincy, and Mr.. Ashton was at the
head of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad.
",rhe roads should spend billion
dollars a year." said Mr.. Holden, 'for
at least five-year period in order to
provide the country with an adequate
transportation machine. Extensions,
improvements and additional equip
ment are sOrely needed.
ION the legislation passed and the
action Of the interstate commerce COM
mission in allowing rate increases de-
pend the roads chances of getting
these. At present it is difficult for
the roads to borrow. Financiers have
not had confidence in railroad secur-
tiles because of government attitude
toward them.
IF there is disposition to permit
them to earn revenue sufficient to
warrant expenditures they will have
no trouble in borrowing the necessary
money. The fixing Of date for the
return of the roads is good thing.
1t will dispel the uncertainty which
has handicapped the railroads in the
last few months"

DRUGS FEARFUL AND AWFUL
Amazing Connections That Our Aneso.
It's Swallowed, Believing That
They Had Medicinal Virtuea

The medicines used down to even
recent days sound most extraordinary
to our ears. AS late as the eighteenth
century dried toad was seriously con-
sidered a specific against the plague.
In an article in the New York Med
lcal Journal DR.. William Renwick
Riddeli Of Toronto, Canada, mentioned
q few of the remedies in vogue.
A plaster made of arsenic was ap-
piled to cancers. Bleeding was prac-
ticed on all occasions, even in the
time Of our grandparents. But the
sovereign remedy Of all was known
as mithridatium or theriaca. This was
the great antidote of Roman phar-
macy. It originally had 40 or 30 in
gradients, all vegetables. but Nsro's
physician. Andromachus, added the
flesh Of vipers. Every physician had
his own variation of the formula, and
Matteoli in the sixteenth century put
no less than 120 ingredients into It.
The name theriaca or theriac, I'M
der which 1t was commonly known,
was derived from the Greek "therion,"
wild beast. as the stuff was consid-
cred a specific against the poisonous
bites Of beasts and serpents. The
French word "theriaque" was corrupt
ed into the English "treacle," and tho
medicine was known in England az
"Venice treacle." 1t was the famous
Sydenham who first opposed the use
Of drugs. In fact when Sir Richard
Blackmore asked him for a good guide
In practice, he replied: Don Quixote,"
and declared that the arrival of good
clown would do more for the health
Of city than that of 20 asses laden
with drugs.

Rocking stones belong to a class Of

Some Of these rocking stones are made

They are of harder material than the

So the. harder remains after the soft

ALLIES PLAN FOR
TRIAL OF KAISER
WILL MAKE DEMAND ON HoL.
LAND IN JANUARY FOR
EXTRACTION OF WILHELM.
Present Position Of the Dethroned
Leader Of the Huns is That Of a
Fugitive Who May be Nabbed by
Authorities at any Moment.

LondOn.-Wilhelm, former emperor
Of Germany, will go on trial.
A definite decision to this effect
has been reached by the supreme coun-
Gil of the peace conference in Paris,
according to information received here
Tuesday from Paris and confirmed by
news agency.
The allies, it is declared, will make
a united demand on Holland for the
extraditiOn of the former kaiser early
in January, and in case of refusal
'steps will be taken to enforce the de-
mands.'
Bonar Law has again reiterated in
the house Of commons the intention of
the British government to proceed with
the trial of Wilhelm. The law Off
GERS of the crown, he officially an
nounced, have been consulting with
French and Belgian legal authorities
and completed the case against the
former ruler.
The Indictment has been framed and
all is ready to force the surrender of
the head of the HOhenzollerns as soon
as the protocols to the treaty of peace
have been ratified.
The present position of the kaiser,
Mr.. Law informed the house, is that
he is fugitive in Holland and that
no steps have been taken as yet to
secure his surrender.
1t is said that Holland, contrary to
reports, has made no comment on the
merits of the case drawn up by the
allies.
1t is not known, it is declared, what
the attitude of the Dutch government
will be toward the request for the
surrender of the former kaiser.

PACKING INDUSTRY
TO BE RESTRICTED
"BlG FIVE" HAVE AGREED TO At
ONCE DISPOSE OF ALL THEIR
SIDE LINES.
All Interests Save Those Directly Al

promise With Government.

Washington. The governments
antitrust suit against the great meat
packers, begun at President Wilson's
direction last summer as part of the
fight on the high cost of living, has
been compromised under an agree
ment by which the packers will con-
fine themselves hereafter to the meat
and provision business.
An injunction decree to which the
packers have acceeded, will be entered
III the federal courts to make the
agreement binding. Under it's terms
the big five--Swift, Armour, Morris,
Wilson and Cudahy-have agreed to
divorce their meat packing industries
from other commercial activities and
to sell their holdings in public stock
yards and their interests in stockyard
railroads, terminals, market newspap-
ers and similar "side lines"
Two years are given to comply with
the decree, which affects eighty-seven
corporations and forty-nine individ-
uals.
I'm general" said Attorney General
Palmer's official announcement, "this
decree prevents the defendants from
exercising any further control over the
marketing of livestock. 1t forever
prevents them from any control over
the retailing of meat products.
1T eliminates them from the field Of
meat substitutes, with the exception of
eggs. butter, poultry and cheese, which
are left for future consideration and
action and hence, the price of meat
is within the control of the people
themselves. 1t places the conduct of
these aggregations Of capital immedi-
ately under the eye of federal court
With reference to their business prac-
tices.
"But, greater than all, it establishes
the principle that no group of men,
no matter how powerful, can ever at
tempt to control the food table of the
American people or any one of the
necessities or component parts of it.
"The department of justice, having
in mind the necessities and interests
of the whole American people in this
critical reconstruction period. feels
that by insisting upon this surrender
on the part of packing interests it has
accomplished more for the American
people than could have been hoped for
as the result of long drawn out legal
battle"
