BERLIN'S BLOODED DOGS
PARADE IN STREETS
Costume of Police Animals
Criminal Is Stolen.

Special Correspondence to THE NEW York
HERALD.
BERLIN. Aug. 19.-Headed by a flock
OF sheep lashed together and guarded
by shepherd dogs wearing muzzles. Ber
Inns blooded dogs Of every description
were paradcd through the streets yes
terday.
The parade followed the route used
by political demonstrators. starting from
the Geological Garden and marching
down Inter den Linden TO the Lush
Garten. Clipped poodes. painting Pom
eranians and waddling dachshunds had
their places in line, but chief attention
was given to the files of collies and
troops of police dogs
At one of the most crowded corners
demonstration of police dog ability was
arranged. A man suddenly ran away
with a bicycle from the curb and dashed
into the crowd. At a word from one OF
the guards police dog sprang after him
and stopped the thief before he had gon
forty yards. The dog then calmly trotted
back to his place in the parade ranks.
The parade had to be halted for an
hour when the police discovered that
some one had stolen the padded costume
TO be worn by the criminal" Another
was rushed from an outlying station,
however, and the parade went on.

LINER FROM CHINA
HAS 5S STOWAWAYS
Mingle With Passengers and
Crew From Yokohama to
Vancouver.
SEEK TO ENTER L. s.
Were Found in Hiding When
Officials Search Ship
at Seattle.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YozK HERALD.
VICTORIA, Is. c., Sept. 2.-The finding
of one or two stowaways hidden away
in the coal bunkers or cargo compart-
ments of steamships coming here from
the Far East is a frequent occurrence
but when fifty three OF them are dis
covered on one vessel. and not a par
ticularly large vessel at that, it is a
different matter.
When the United States Shipping
Board steamer President Jackson
steamed into Victoria from the Orient
the usual search for stowaways was
made, but officials said after their in
Vestigation that all was well and that
the secluded parts of the ship usually
preferred as places of refuge contained
nothing but what was thoroughly legiti-
mate.
At Seattle. where the President Jack
son docked to discharge freight, par
ticularly vigilant immigration official
became suspicious of a Chinaman on
board who gave his name as Loo Poo.
The only thing in the way OF a ticket
that Loo Poo could produce was a stub
indicating that he had bought trans
portation from Hongkong. Loo Poo
was placed under arrest and all pas
sengers were lined up and told to pro-
duce evidence that they had paid for
their passage across.
1t was found then that. although there
were fifty-three stowaways all told. they
had differed from the usual type OF
stowaways by mingling with the Chinese
crew and steerage passengers and ap-
parently enjoying the trip across the
Pacific as well as any one. The stow
aways. IT appeared, had bought tickets
from Hongkong to Yokohama
When the President Jackson reached
the Japanese port they remained con-
veniently out of sight and then. when
clear of land again they moved about on
board ship as though entitled to every
privilege the ship could afford Some of
them got on good terms with the kitchen
staff and worked as walters. While the
search was in progress the stowaways
were taken from staterooms. lockers and
iceboxes. from behind doors and furni-
ture and one from behind mattress.

Eight Men in Brandenburg

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-Too many religious
tracts and no other reading matter led
to mutiny and jail delivery in which
eight men escaped from Brandenburg
prison. Six were recaptured one was
shot dead as he escaped and the other
succeeded in getting away.
The men had repeatedly protested
against being furnished only with theo-
logical discussions and Sunday school
papers for reading matter and were
promised that they would be given other
"inental nourishment" for which they
had petitioned But when on a certain
Sunday local pastors arrived with an
other consignment OF tracts the men.

take part in prison activities during the

Berlin, Sept. ..
German shipping lines which with
the Governments aid proposed to re-
place their entire war losses within a
decade are now obliged to reduce their
building program because Of the slump
in the mark. The 1000, 900, 900 marks
which the Government advanced was
supposed to replace one-third of the
losses but through the depreciation it
now only suffices to replace one
twelfth.
Small lines have only enough capital
ior the completion OF the bottoms
already on the ways. while the big lines
are cutting their programs in half. The
Hamburg-American Line has 43 ships
with total tonnage of 10000 and Is
building 43 more with a total tonnage
OF 100000. Tho North German Lloyd
Line has 25 ships with tonnage Of
10000 and Is planning IS more with
total tonnage OF 100000 for the near
future. This line has just launched the
Columbus III. from its yards at Danzig.
which with its $4,000 tons is now the
largest German passenger ship.
The SHINES Line, although newly
Rounded. already has fleet about equal
TO that OF the North German Lloyd and
- planning to supplement its regular
South American service with a Far
Eastern service.
The South American Steamship Line
has total tonnage of about 20, 900,
among which is the Cap Polonio of
22,000 tons. 1t is also building a num-
Der of new vessels. The lines with many
ships making trips overseas profit by
the fact that the freight charges are
raid in foreign money, while the build
Ing is paid for in marks. The Hamburg
American Line also has concluded ar
rangements with the Hartman interests
Tor financial backing to continue the
construction OF new ships. The Ham
burg-American Line can count on
american capital for shipping line to
russian ports. where trade possibilities
are open. but it is obliged to shave down
Its building program.
The North German Lloyd has recently
concluded an agreement with the United
States Shipping Boad for ten years
joint service. but 1t cannot hope TO find
extensive American backing for new
construction. The Hamburg-Amcricau
Line has a more favorable outlook be-
cause II Is building smaller ships in
tended as freight carriers and is less
dependent on tourists and emigration
than the North German Lloyd with its
large passenger ships.
The shipping lines have asked the
Government for an appropriation suni-
Gent to replace a third OF the merchant
marine as originally intended. but the
Government has other worries which
right now seem more ifnportant than
trying to increase the nations shipping.

According to the lecture which accom-

medical men, the Steinach theory has
been thoroughly tested with rats and
there is no reason why il should not

In the hope that vivid life of crime
would make him so well known that his
hitherto unaccepted plays would be pro-
duced Wilhelm Blume is awaiting trial
as the murderer of two men and
woman since 1918. He has attempted
suicide to add one more sensation that
might catch the fancy of the public.
Blume's chief crime was tho inurd,r
OF registered letter postman in ono
OF the most luxurious suites of the
Adlon Hotel In 1918. He hired the
apartment. sent up many pieces of lug
gage. afterward found to be filled with
sand bags, and then Turing the postman
to his room with letter strangled him
with cord. The murder netted barely
1000 marks.
A year later Blume murdered another
postman in boarding mouse and when
the aged landady entered in time to
detect the crime he strangled her also.
The latter robbery gave him 100000
marks. He was arrested in Dresden
after a battle with the police in which
he was hurled down a fight OF stairs,
sustaining severe injuries.
Before he attempted suicide he wrote
letter saying that his life of crime
had been for the purpose of attracting
public attention to the plays he had
written. Blume had been penniless for
several years He repeatedly lost good
positions through his flirtations with Of
flee women. These affairs resulted in
quarrels for which he as the Office Beau
Brummel was always held responsible.
Theft in the continued crime wave
has long since ceased to be matter of
actual cash. the Berlin police declared.
when they reported that out of twenty
house breakings in two weeks the
thieves stole nothing but the locks from
the doors. even though many OF the
houses contained valuables.
Private individuals. moreover, have
ceased to become the chief victims of
night providers. The city itself is author
