Mysterious Order From
Washington Cancels Re-
lease of Seized Ship

San Francisco, MAY 3.-R-The
Pan American steamer Federalship
with her S1,OOO,OOO cargo of choice
whiskey and crew of 20 were further
detained in port here today while
government officials, at loss to
understand a mysterious order from
Washington canceling the release Of
the seized ship, awaited court ac-
tion as the next development.
The Fcderalship was made ready
for release yesterday after being
held almost two months since her
seizure under coast guard fire 27O
miles at sea. Captain S. S. Stone
and his crew, who had spent six
weeks in Jail and were released
several days ago when Federal Judge
George NJ. Bourquin ruled that the
seizure was "sheer trespass and ag-
gression," boarded the craft and
were awaiting word to shove off when
Acting Collector of Customs Farmer
received a telegram from General
Lincoln c. Andrews, director Of
prohibition, ordering that the ship
be held pending further negotia-
tions with the Pan American govern
ment."
United States District Attorney
Hatfield, who had charge of the case
against the Federalship, refused to
take part in the further detention Of
the craft, declaring Attorney Cen
eral Sargent had instructed him to
release her.
As the result, the ship is in custody
of the treasury department, with the
coast guard maintaining q double
watch over her.

Along Practical Lines
Rotary clubs and Rotarians are

doctrine Of service, the governor de-
clared, and added:
Throughout the district. we find
Rotary clubs behind Y. NJ. c. A. and
Y. W. c. A. camps; sponsoring the
boy scout activities: getting behind
Father and Son banquets, where the
boys learn the fundamentals of hy

know each other better; encouraging
grade pupils to go farther in their
education and enter high school; be-
coming big brothers to the adolescent
bov. advising and guiding him at this
very important age; encouraging the
farm boys through the calf, pig and
sheep clubs, and through these many
activities are bringing happiness into
their own lives by stimulating their
desire to serve others"
Although much has been accom-
plished in the district during the past
few years, DIR. Mcdaniel expressed
!. the belief that there are many op-

A farmer named Joseph Glidden got
notion that his fence did not give
adequate protection to his field from
wandering cattle. He decided to use
wire with short pices of sharply cut
wire twisted at intervals. His barbed
wire invention made S1,000,000 for
him. Later he invented a new type
of farm gate; within two years it
showed a profit of $150,000.
King Gillette devised a safety razor
with replaceable blades. His profits
are said to have been S2,500,00 a year
for several years.
b. f. Sturtevant devised a wooden
shoe peg. 1t is said TO have made
Sc. 900, 900 for him.
Hyman Lipman put rubber tip
on lead pencil and made 100000.
Fifteen million dollars were made by
the man who invented the spring
wire stopper for bottles and jars.
Not only the inventors shared In
these huge profits. Those who had
faith and invested also reaped largely.
Samuel Kischbaum. a tailor. put his
life's savings, $120, into a hook and
eye. Within a few years he received
$12, 900.
A. plumber, Jeremiah Geary, sold
his shop and invested the proceeds,
$500, in q gas mantle. His investment
is said to have brought him more than
$500. 200.
The flood of inventions. now at its
crest, has not sWamped the market.

the greater is the field for further i'm
provement. One new device leads to

Connecticut, although no longer the
habitat of the Yankee who first sold
wooden nutmegs. is still the leading
state for inventors. California, de-
spite its sunshine and Spanish atmos-
phere. is second. New York stands
we'll up the list as the home OF inVen-
tive genius. Milton Wright, associate
editor of the Scientific American, an
expert on the subject, remarks:
Here in America there is some
thing in the air which makes for
invention. A man niHy grow up to
middle age in some foreign country
without adding a single constructive
idea to industry. Then he will mi
CRATE to this country. Within a year,
as like as not, we find him knocking
at the doors Of the Patent Office"
More than three-fourths of the in
dustrial wealth of the Nation is found
ed directly or indirectly upon patent
rights, it is estimated. We cannot
eat. drink, sleep, dress. work or play
without adding to the profits flowing
from a host of inventions. The annual
output Of all the gold, silver and dia-
mond mines in the world does not
equal in val3e the yearly profits de.
rived from American inventions.
Those who have made fortunes out
of some simple device are numerous.
Almost every one knows the life his
tory OF Edison, Bell and other great
American inventors, but there are hun
dreda OF original contrivances that
have made 4ar more for their inven.
tors than Bell or Edison ever got.
IN. Wright recounts them duently.
