Six Freed to Nurse Hurts
After Irish.Scotch Shindy
Failure to Salute Sinn Fein Col
ors Turned Caledonian
Games Into Combat

Bruised and remorseful, participants
in the fight that broke up the Caledon-
ian Clubs games at Celtic Park, Long
Island City, last Monday, were ar
raigned before Magistrate Dale in the
Long Island City police court yester-
day. All six Of them were freed on
their promise to behave.
The testimony at the hearing proved
one thing, the mistake made by the
Scotch organization in hiring an Irish
associations property for It's festivi-
ties. The field ia owned by the Irish
American Athletic Club.
When the Caledonians, wearing kits,
paraded about the field before the ath-
letic events were scheduled to take
place, they passed three flags, accord
ing to witnesses at the hearing. These
were the American flag, the Scotch
colors and the green, white and orange
of the Sim Fein. Witnesses told Mag
istrate Dale that while the marchers
dipped their banners with due respect
before the first two flags named, they
"trailed on" past the Irish colors with
never SO much as show dye do.''
This slight aroused a group Of Irish
men in the grandstand, and the ex-
change of polthogues came about in
less time than it takes to tell it.

Shipping Board
Not Inclined to .
Reduce Prices
Said IL Will Continue to
Own and Operate Rather
Than to Sell Its Tonnage
on q Sacrifice Basis

There is no indication that the Ship
ping Board cortemplates q reduction
in the minimum prices it has fixed
for the sale Of its ships, says bulletin
just issued by the National Merchant
Marine Association.
According to the association, it is
the opinion of some officials that the
intent of the merchant marine act is
that the board should continue to own
and operate It's ships rather than sacri-
flee them.
"The board also does not intend to
dispose of ships which would inter-
fcre with routes it is fostering" con-
tlnues the bulletin. "In this connec-
tion it is recalled that the provisions
of the merchant marine net direct the
sale Of the ships to responsible per-
sons for the upbuilding Of services,
and that as second choice the YES
sells should be chartered for this pur-
pose. ALLEGATION Of ships for opera
ton is the third step to be taken
after the first two have failed"
More than ninety ships now held
by the Shipping Board can be sold
established, says the bulletin, and
these will be advertised for sale sub
ject to the minimum prices announced
in the sales policy.
Referring to the lack of bids for
the Shipping Board vessels, it is stated
that this may be attributed to the
belief of many steamship men that the
minimum prices are too high. "This
argument" it is added. "has been con-
sidered by the board, and officials
there state that the investment re-
CURED in q government vessel under
the Shipping Board terms is so much
less than in similar foreign ship
that greater earnings can be made with
an American steamer"
The association also points out thas
the board has decided to offer for
sale a number of vessels which have
option of purchase upon the adoption
of the sales policy. Under the pro-
visions of the merchant marine act, it
is added. officials of the board have
concluded that they do not have the
authority to sell the ships under this
plan until after due advertisement and
competitive bidding. This policy AT
present, it is stated, affects only GER
tain number of steel cargo ships, and
no announcement has been made with
regard to such steamers as the pas
senger liners chartered to the United
States Mail Steamship Company.
Following the failure to receive bids
for the twentv-four wooden ships re-
the Shipping Board is considering
plans for the sale of these vessels on
terms which will be attractive to pur-
chasers desiring such ships as barges,
barkentines and vessels for feeder
services

Woman He Wooed by ADJ
Vanishes With $1,000

ROCHESTER, Sept. Henry F.
Tucker, seventytwo years old, of
Providence, complained to-day that a
woman to whom he had given $1,000
and married, had Disappeared
Tucker explained that several weeks
ago he advertised in 'matrim onial"
paper for a wife. He received thirty
replies from women ranging in age
from nineteen to sixty-five years. He
selected one, buxom and !orty, "be-
cause she made no promise and did not
boast" He sent her transportation to
Providence. He said he was captivated
when he saw her
The woman said her father recently
died and that his second wife's equity
in the estate was $1,000. The woman
wanted to buy this. Tucker put up
half the cash. He came here Friday
and met her. He gave her $500 more
to close the equity deal. Later she re-
turned and said she was ready to get
the marriage license. She wanted $500
for marriage gift. Tucker promised
her the money after the ceremony. She
left the hotel to call taxi and did not
return,

German Shipyards Compete
Reduce Rates i'm Order to Secure
More Foreign Repair Work

Evidence that German shipbuilding
concerns are preparing to enter into
active competition for repair work is
shown by a circular just received in
this city from Hamburg.
According to this the Hamburg dock
ing tariff has been reduced for foreign
ships. Earlier in the year an increase
Of 100 per cent over the pre-war rates
was put into effect. This increase has
now been reduced to so per cent. The
new rates are announced by Blohm &
Voss. the Vulcan w erke and other lead
ing German shipbuilding and ship re-
pair firms.

And Fight Stirs
Coney Island
Robber Knock, Woman
Down; Pursued by Cit.
zen, but Draws Razor
When Hit With Brick
Fugitive Swims Creek
Continues Battle From
Cabin of Boat, but Fl.
nally Gives Himself Up

By the time they got Sam Thomp-
son, a fifty three-year- old negro, with
q most youthful pair of legs, locked
up in Coney Island station last night
the large percentage of the resort 8
population that had taken part in the
military and naval maneuvers preced-
ing his arrest voted unanimously that
1t had been the seasons most salts
factory case of attempted robbery and
attempted felonious assault.
The only person who got no real en-
joyment out of the affair was Mrs.
Ellen Gleason, fifty, widow OF Thomas
Gleason. who for many years conduct
ed the baths at the foot of West Thir-
tleth Street. She is now at her home
suffering from bruises, scratches and
injuries to her feelings. At about 10
o'clock last night she was lying at the
corner of Railway Avenue and West
Iwenty-tirst Street, where Thompson
had knocked her, holding on to her
purse and screaming like a calliope
while the negro tried to muzzle her
and rob her at the same time.
Hits Fugitive With Brick
He did not succeed in doing either,
Tor Bernard Book, salesman. was
passing, and not being stone deaf bore
down upon the struggling pair. Sam
lett his prey and fed, with Book in
pursuit At the corner of Nineteenth
Street and the avenue Book lost a
little ground by stopping and stoop-
ing down, but he gained a heavy
weight brick. Thus armed he took up
the pursuit again, which proceeded
along Nineteenth Street Eeptune Ave
nue. and down that thoroughfare.
AS Sam passed under an arc light,
Book took aim and fired. His speed
and control were perfect The brick
struck Sam where the wool was thin
nest and bounced high in the air. Sam
had the negro at his mercy, fell upon
him and Kissed vindictively that Sam
was his prisoner
Sam refuted this statement by reach
ing inc a pocket and emerging with
razor of scythelike dimensions. In the
bright moonlight this glimmered
strangely and awe came over Book
awe and desire to get away from Sam
as soon as possible. He did. Sam pur-
sued Tim little way and then himself
turned about and ran. Book took up
the chase again, and most Of the
strollers on Neptune Avenue Joined in.
'AilloiS tHei!! was AL oIiiall !lZSeIa "a.
Sam continued to fee. In fact, wit
resses say, rarely has so accomplished
a feer passed through Coney Island
He fed and he fed and he fled, and
finally he reached the end Of Neptune
Avenue. frowning down on Coney Isl
and Creek.
Leaps Into Creek
Water didn't stop him. The painting
leaders of the pack that followed saw
Sam do a jackknife into the turbld
flood and demonstrate the Australian
crawl all the way out to motor boat
anchored in the channel. He crawled
aboard and disappeared into the cabin.
Immediately Patrolman Fitzgerald
appointed himself admiral pro TEN and
