GER MAN MINE OFF
CUBA WRECKS SHIP
Skipper of the Charles G. Endi-
colt Tells How Schooner
Was Blown Up.

The story of the wreck of the four
ulasted Yankee schooner Charles G.
End icott smashed by a German war
mine drifting off Cape Maysi. at the
eastern end of Cuba. was brought here
yesterday by her skipper. Capt. James
G. Cook, who arrived from Antilla by
the Munson liner Munamar. The Endi-
colt was coal laden and bound from
Newport News for Manzanillo. The sea
was calm and the night clear on Febru-
airy Q, and the schooner was making
six or seven knots under light breeze
when. the skipper said. there was ter
rife explosion on rne srarpoard side
near the main rigging.
The unruffied peace OF the night had
inspired most of the crew to sleep and
the skipper and three of the crew were
the only men on deck. and when the
mighty roar came. with smoke and flame
that lit up the sky for more than a
mile around, the six men below tun1bled
UP on deck In panic. The skipper at
first suspected something had exploded
In the cargo of 500 tons OF coal
big hole was torn In the ship and
she took on a great list moment after
being struck. The crew. under the In
spiration of the skipper. went to work
getting out the two boats The larger
boat which the skipper commanded. was
seen to be plenty hiI enough for all the
crew OF nine. and all hands were ordered
into It. and the smaller boat was taken
asteru.
After the drst inrush OF water the
Endicott settled more gradually so the
men had time to save some OF their
dunnage from the forccastle The skip
per stood by till the four master dis
appeared In many fathoms OF the Carib-
bean and then hosting small sail
made for the north coast OF Cuba, land
ing sixteen miles east OF Nipe Bay at
nightfan of the next day. pretty badly
burned by the sun and played out. They
made their way to Antilla, saw the
American Consul and he got them
passage by the Munamar.
A Lieutenant of the Haytian navy
who came into Antllla in a small gun
boat. told Capt. Cook he had been cruis-
ing for mines two months and that two
other vessels had been blown up In the
Caribbean by contact with them.

Luther Emmanuel Widen OF l4s West
Fourth street, editor OF the Vd0dbond
and we'll known fgure IN the most Sc
lect artistic and faddistic circles of
Greenwich Village, was before Magis-
trate Joseph e. Corrisan In the Jeffer-
son Market Court yesterday afternoon,
and the Magistrate said at first he
guessed he would have to send the editor
to Bellevue Hospital for observation.
After reading an issue of Widen's paper.
Magistrate Corrigan expressed the epin-
ion that no sane man would put out
work like this"
Widen vas in court on complaint OF
James Downey, a private detective, who
has been investigating the theft OF sew
eral hundred dollars worth Of clothing
and trlnkets from the studio Of Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney. In 147 West
Fourth street. Downey said Widen had
talked psychology at him. and had then
promised to solve the mystery. Later, he
said, Widen told him the name of a man
supposed to have taken the stuff. but the
man proved to be not guilty. causing the
detectives faith in Widen's psychic
sleuthing to slump.
The principal witness In behalf OF
Widen was DR.. Lindley kasdy. who said
the editor was suffering from exterior
but not interior disarrangement.
1T Is a pose with him TO act extreme
said the physician

VILLAGE EDITOR AGREES TO
EXILE TO DODGE BELLEVUE
Publisher of the Vagabond' Held Subject for Obscr-

Editing and Greenwich Atmosphere

He also said Widen had been in Belle
vue before. but that 1t did him no good.
The magazine was said by the doctor TO
be published without malice to any one.
1t is filled with bits of village news and
gossip, In which initials are used In
stead of names. The two gems that
brought forth Magistrate Corrigan's s
comment regarding the editors sanity
were Mrs. ---- has married a man
from West Virginia. but she still has
her friends" and an article about a
woman who still looked pretty without
her paint
II am going to send you to Bellevue
for examination" said the Magistrate.
This is an unusual magazine"
why should l go to Bellevue when
can go elsewhere ?" asked Widen.
Where will you go?"
Astoria" said Widen
Well" said the Magistrate. 'ft you
will promise to leave Greenwich Village
and not publish the VG0abond, and do
all that In forty-eight hours, you won't
be sent to Bellevue
"I'll go right now" said Widen. He
bowed deeply. and looked sadly from
the wind ow. Never, never. shall re-
turn. Farewell Greenwich Village"
He hurried from the court room and
walked toward the Sixth avenue ele-
waited railroad. Half an hour later he
was seen near the court room.

The Real Worth of
Money, or What is
Money Really Worth?

Every one estimates the
worth of money by what he
wants to do with it.
Much depends on the circun-
stances IN which one is placed.
If the man lives upon his
earnings and keeps out of debt,
and his heart is set upon buying
a home for his wife and chill
dren, he often keeps down his
expenses to allow him to join a
building association, to which
he pays monthly dues and bor-
rows from to buy his house.
If the man is unmarried and
has his mother to take care of,
his measure of money is inten-
sifled to deny himself and save
enough to make the dear old
mother comfortable.
A workman with a family.
spending all his wages and run
ming into debt, or a young man
who wants to be "a hail fellow
well met and who has to bor-
row, is in a sure way of finding
out to his cost, the value of
money, for the borrower is un-
der the thumb of the lender.
When we were boys, penny
was stick of candy or some
sourballs, but no wa d US,
through the Saving Funds, we
are learning that penny saved
and put away is penny earned.
A father or mother, in old
age, taken care of by son or
a daughter, is worth more than
owning a house or being known
as worth thousands of dollars.
This store grew out of the
first hundred dollars saved.

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK. May 12.-cofse con-
tracts scored trifiing gains at the
opening today. owing to a little
outside demand. doubtless attracted
by the low levels prevailing here
and the continued steadiness In
Brazil. The initial bulge brought
out larger offerings from Wall
Street and commission houses, and
prices dropped . to Il points below
yesterday closing levels.
Selling was prompted partly by
the continued large arrivals in Bra
zil and decline of IS to 100 reis
In the Santos term market. More
over. exchange on London was I'd
lower at s5-1sd. and the dollar rate
100 reis higher. On the other hand,
the Rio term market closed rs to
100 reis higher. and gained 25a1oo
refs additional this morning. The
only firm offer reported was of Vic
toria as IS at s.s5c.
Possibly the early demand was
stimulated partly by bullish trade
circular letters issued recently. In
one II was pointed out that little,

we're California Petroleum, Tobacco

A close scrutiny of the class of
trading responsible for the decline
today and yesterday strengthened
the conviction that the advancing
movement which terminated last
Thursday was used by big profess
sional operators as a background
for the distribution Of their hold
ings. Some close market observers
go farther and say that the rise
was brought about for that purpose.
The identity of operators who are
chiefly responsible for any move
ment is revealed in time, and this
reaction had gone far enough today
to enable brokers to recognize in
the selling the hands of those op-
orators who were credited with ac-
cumulating stocks before the last
advancing movement started. The
construction which big operators
and their agents place on current
developments is always regulated
by the market position of these
speculators The same men who
were two weeks ago considering the
prospects of Germany yielding as
an argument for buying stocks,
have reversed themselves and are
now making much of the menace Of
German trade competition. They
hav. taken different attitude, also.
toward the influx of gold from all
parts Of the world.
