EMBARKING SOLDIERS
DOGS LEFT BEHIND
Capt. Smell Tells of Hoboken's
UnenIisted M. Ps.

Capt King w. Smell. one OF the army
officers who had big share in manag-
ing the embarkation OF Americas
legtons at the port of Hoboken during
the war; told yesterday OF the yelping
four legged soldier cops who performed
distinctive service in guarding the
orga nization at that depot ever since the
war started. He referred to the flock
OF dogs that we're left behind by the
soldiers boarding ships for France.
Every man going overseas could not
take along his dog" said Capt Smell
Rules are rules, the boys were told,
and dogs were not allowed on board
This war was not a coon hunt, they were
informed So tho dogs stayed behind.
who passed tho word to the COPS
that certain regiments would entraln for
tho port OF emba rkation at certain
hour OF the night? But when the
rhythmic thump OF many feet moving in
perfect unison through the city pave
ments was heard these uneniisted soft
footed soldiers would drop down from
the doorsteps, creep out from the dark
to the inner enclosure of the piers, sniff
ing around a bit at the heels of the
men. effacing themselves for the most
part, but at other times hungrily visit
full. waiting to be adopted into the
service.
Suddenly they formed themselves
into a sort OF rear guard, and II wasn't
safe for any man who didn't wear the
olive drab to get within fifty yards of
the pier gates"

SUBWAY FOR FULTON
STREET DEMANDED
IL" Plan to Be Denounced at
Hearing To-day.

Representatives OF the Fulton Street
Subway League and others opposed to
the present Ashland place plan for re-
lief Of traffic congestion in central and
upper Brooklyn will mobilize in force
IN City Hall this morning TO urge a
subway as the only adequate solution OF
the situation. They will protest bitterly
at the public hearing the proposed
third tracking OF the Fulton elevated.
The Fulton Street Subway League
plan calls for a four track subway up
Fulton street. the capacity OF which, II
is said, would be three times that OF the
present a." They ask the granting of
the franchise at once, thus fixing the
future OF Old Brooklyn and the terri
tory to the east toward Jamaica, and
provision for an annual appropriation
in the city budget Of only $500. 900 to-
ward the cost OF construction, complete
temporary relief for some years being
afforded by the removal OF the Flatbush
traffic from the a. into the new
Brighton subway in the next few
months, with transfers from the Fulton
street IL" TO the subway at F'latbush
avenue, to give a five cent fare into the
subway system OF Manhattan.
The present Ashland place plan calls
5or carrying the three track IL" down
Fulton street from Nostrand avenue to
o point above Cumberland street, re-
building the present two track 81" be-
low TO Adams street and thence through
Adams street to the bridge. heavy
enough TO carry new steel cars, with
new long stations, and piece OF three
track subway from Cumberland street
90 Ashland place. This the League
declares would afford Hnly a 20 per
cent. increase in capacity OF the Fulton
street line.

II hereby demand an immediate re-
traction by you OF all the charges. in

Up to a late hour no reply from the

in the letter referred TO charged the
wholesale firm of w. J. Schieffelin & Co.
with violating the law in failing TO file
with the Board of Health copies of or

aneered at Mr.. schieffelin for his appeal
for funds for the Citizens Union to In

ing at z A. M.

With the harbor labor situation ap-
parently quieted by the selection Of an
arbitration board 20 settle future dis
putes unrest fiared again yesterday. AL
legged misleading statements Of profess
sional labor leaders are blamed.
The freight handlers. $1,000 in num-
Der, are now declared by Paul Vac
carelli and other labor leaders to be
ready to strike at moments notice be-
cause the Government will not give them
the eight hour day. Mr.. vaccarelli will
see A. II. Smith. Regional Director Of
the Railroad Administration and pre-
sent the mems demands Mr.. Smith
made the following statement yesterday:
The statements Of certain labor lead
ers regarding the alleged grievances
which threaten TO precipitate a strike OF
freight handlers on the railroads serving
New York harbor are not in accordance
with the facts. and their publication
tends only TO mislead the public and the
workingmen affected.
NO question OF the eight hour day is
involved because they all are enjoying
the eight hour day, in accordance with
their agreement with the Railroad Ad-
ministration and the order issued BY the
thereon last February.
This settlement with the men provided
that they should have the eight hour
day should receive extra pay IL they
worked two hours extra and II an emer-
eency should compel and they were
willing to work beyond ten hours they
should receive time and a half for such
services Since that time the men have
seldom worked more than eight hours,
and for them to work over ten hours is
practically unknown.
The Railroad Administration merely
insists that the men abide by this agree
fnent. Some men failed to do this and
the managers OF the various railroads
were compelled to Ill their positions with
competent applicants
The question precipitated now by
union leaders Is with regard to the work;
Ing of the forces In so-called scattered"
shifts; that u.s. certain number of the
men come TO work at o'clock In the
morning and work eight hours, another
sh'tt 10 come on at O'Clock and an
other shift at 3 o'clock Business in this
service for the city OF New York demands
such service because all the wagons can
not be at the freight houses at the same
hour In the morning. which would seem
to be apparent,
Certain representatives OF the men
nave been proposing that the freight
handlers stand on the demands that all
forces shall be put to work at s o'clock
every morning. and in pursuance of this
some men have refused to report at :
O'Clock and others at 8 O'Clock, going on
strike when these regulations were put
into effect
Adequate freight service ia vital TO
Greater New York and tbs railroads are
striving earnestly TO supply it"
Mayor Hylan was informed yesterdsy
that In accordance with the settlement
OF the haroor strike last Saturday the
workmen had selected Thomas !. Della
hunty. William a. Maher and Paul Vac
carelli to represent them on the new
arbitration board that is TO be created
FOR future hsrbor labor disputes.

CENSOR WILL CURB
'CHATTY POLICEMEN
Porter Is Chosen to Act as
Departments Creel.

August Drum Porter. Third Deputy
Police Commissioner, was appointed Po-
lice Department censor yesterday. 1t was
learned at headquarters. The nature OF
his duties was not explained. but 1t was
believed he would be expected to juggle
with the kings English In such man
ner as 10 make 1t plain that orders
marked "confidentiar' were understood
TO be such by precinct officers. The re-
cent publication OF orders marked con
fidentiar' was said to have caused a con-
siderable kick up in the vicinity OF the
Commissioner
All department orders OF whatever de-
gree OF importance will hereafter pass
through the editorial rooms of Commits
sioner Porter. Mr.. Porter's qualifica-
lions for this work were drawn from his
experience as secretary to Commissioners
Enright, II was explained. Lack of ofri-
cial announcement of tho appointment
indicates evidently that II all police af-
fairs are to be banned from public no.
tice Mr.. Porter cannot get on the job
soon enough.
The censorship comes directly after
the publication of Inspector Days order
telling district inspectors that the Blu
reau of Municipal Research was investi-
eating crime conditions in their districts,
and to be particularly careful about vio-
lations.
Another innovation was also talked
about in Police Headquarters. this being
the establishment OF a peace confer

Deputy Commissioner Harriss. This Of
Ace hes recently been fitted up with dec-
orative panels at cost of $1,000. All

pected to deal with general police topics.

JUDGE TO CHARGE
FRICKE JURY TO-DAY
Facts Undisputed, Only Motive
Is in Doubt, Says Govern
ment Counsel.

Closing arguments were made yester-
day at tho trial OF Albert Paul Fricke,
American manager for Richter &c Co.
OF Berlin. Fricke, a naturallzed citizen,
Is accused OF treason. Thomas ] O'Neill,
counsel for the defendant. occupied three
hours with his summation; De Lancey
Nico!l, special counsel for the Govern
ment, took little more than an hour to
review the Governments case.
Mr.. Nicoll said the case was singular
In that the essential facts were not In
dispute. He said that Hermann Vessels,
former second officer on the Imperator.
came to this country as a German SPY
and that Fricke. knowing him to be a
spy. gave him $4,000 that had been
transmitted from Germany and advanced
him $4,000 of his own money after the
United States had become a belligerent.
These undisputed facts constitute
treason" said Mr. Nicoll. There is no
question but that Fricke adhered to and
gave aid and comfort to a known en-
envy. Vessels. alias Rodiger. The only
element OF doubt there is In this case Is
whether Fricke acted with criminal in
tent. gather that his intent was Grim
inal from his efforts to shield Vessels
when agents OF the Department OF Jus
tice were after the spy"
In his summation Mr.. O'Nell made
much OF the action OF the court in strik-
Ing out all but Ave OF the alleged overt
acts in the Indictment and in ordering
the jury to aoIuit the defendant on the
first OF the two counts. The ellrnations
were made on Issues OF law after tho
Government rested. The count which
charged Frcke with adhering to Ger
many was erased: that which charged
him with adhering to Vessels was left
for the jury to pass upon.
The Government did not prove that
Vessels did single act against the
United States" said Mr.. O'Neill. He
has not been put on trial not convicted
Of anything. You are not supposed to
guess that ne was a dangerous enemy OF
the United States. The prosecution says
he got money from Frickc. They do not
know what he did with It. That means
that they do not know he did anythins
wrong with II, and II he did not operate
as an enemy of the United States you
should acquit this defendant.
Vessels came here as propogan-
dist as Englishmen and Frenchmen came
here before our status was changed
with the declaration OF war. He was
sent here by Richter of tho German
Admiralty. Richter was Fricke's en-
ployer. Richter gave Fr!cke a Job as
boy and promoted him until at IS
years Fricke was earning $4,000 a
year

sided at the trial in the Federal District

be solely upon the expression OF the

II am convinced, however, that the
time has come IN New Jersey when some
one must assume the leadership in this
cause II the State is TO be freed from
conditions which have become intoler-
able, and as a means 10 this end be-
lieve that there should be an impartial
