TEST OF MARINE WORKERS
STRIKE EXPECTED TODAY

WA SHINGTON, May 3.-With
ship declining arbitration,
Chairman Benson firmly opposed to
a compromise on his Is per cent
wage reduction order and represen-
tatives of the strikes, confident that
owners Twill come to terms" the con-
troversy over seamen's wages and
working conditions appeared to be
further from settlement than ever
today.
No further word had come from
the White House and indications
we're that the Pr esident was await
iEg reports from Secretary Hoover
and Davis in whose hands the prob
lem had been placed.
Chairman Benson will look to
naval reservists and discharged nav
al seamen to keep transatlantic
mail ships in operation during the
present wage disputes. If their SER
vices are necessary.
The chairman said he had asked
the c~ommandGnt of the navy yard of
New York to lend what assistance he
could to remove United States mail.
He said requests were made espe.
clally with reference to the Old
North State due to leave today. but
it was not the plan to man the gov

also declared there was no intention
to use military force.

walkout. which began yesterday, was
expected in this port when two big
shipping board vessels with passen-
gers, mail and freight were due to

Potomac for Darzyg, would sail on
scheduled time, it was said at the
offices of the United States Mail

were having no trouble in signing

BOOZE b0TTH I
CLUE FOLLOWED
Bottle Found on Porch is
Linked With Finding in the
.Fishkin Store Robbery.

1t Is possible that the party or
parties responsible for the numer-
Gus robberies committed in this city
of late, are busily engaged in the
"moon-shine" business during the
day, as a result Of recent findings
by the police. When Lieutenant De-
tective Joseph Gutowski went to
Fishkin's brothers store at 157 Smith
street yesterday morning to investR
gate a robbery there, he found a
bottle of what appeared to be mule
moonshine," and last night Lieuten-
ant Andrew Jensen received a report
from d. Goldsmith, Of 12S Kearny
avenue. to the effect that a bottle
of liquor had been found on his
front porch early yesterday morning.
There have been gangs in the past,
who after committing a robbery or
crime. left the mark of their work,
to show that their gang was in ac-
ton and it is believed that the bot
tie of moonshine is the insignia OF
the robbers who are working in thif
city. 1t is possible that an attempts
was made to enter the Goldsmith
home. but although unsuccessful the
thieves may have left the moonshine
to show that a visit was made in
that vicinity.
Lieutenant Detective Gutowski ts
working on several clues secured at
the FishSin establishment which
may lead to the arrest of the guilty
parties before the end of the week.
Chief Issues Order
Chief Niels J.. Tonnesen this morn.
ing issued an order asking the co.
operation of the storekeepers of the
city in preventing robberies. He re-
quests that the storekeepers keep a
light in their store al night SO that
the officers can see into the store
from the street. and be able to tell
whether there is anyone working in
the places. = The chief also requests
that distractions be kept from in
front Of the lights, as in many cases
lights r lighted throughout the
night, but distractions between
same and the street take away their
value.

LINDSAY IS Seen
AS ENGLISH TYPE
ADMIRED in U. 5.
Life of Versatile Adven-
turer-SOldier Reads
Like Romance.

II there were more Englishmen
in the United States like Fred Lind
say, the Australian explorer, soldier
and big game hunter who appeared
at Keith's Theater last week. sit is
safe to say Americans would lose
whatever prejudice they may have
for Englishmen. This is the con-
viction one received after an inti-
mate talk with Mr.. Lindsay yes
terday.
Was Friend of Roosevelt.
Lindsay modestly admitted during
a chat in his dressing room At the
theater that he was a personal
friend of the late President Roose-
Welt and one could easily see why
the colonel OF the Rough Riders
would take to q man of such virile
character. His life reads like ro-
nance and he Is undeniably a man
of remarkable personality. 1t is
surely difficult to find a parallel of
his many-sided activities. For ex-
ample during one month he accom-
plished all of the following:
Commanded the advance guard in
military maneuvers in England.
Hiayed star role at tneater.
Crossed the Atlantic Ocean and
harvested on his ranch in Australia.
Sat on the bench as a magistrate.
Admire. America.
Lindsay has an admiration for
A9erican institutions and Ameri-
cans amounting almost to aspas-
sion. He believes America to be one
of the most patriotic nations in the
world and that there is no nation
surprising this in the greatest of
all human virtues-charity.
Lindsay, as a lieutenant colonel,
led the Cameron Highlanders in the
world war. He also fought in the
vanguard with Gen. Plumer in the
Boer war and spent five years in
the Australian bush. He has played
polo on some of the famous English
fields.
