fastest OF ocean ships, lay at her
berth In Brooklyn today, as hun.
dreds sought admittance to the pier
to view the new champion OF the
waves.
Probably 150, 900 persons win visit
the Bremen at her. berth before she

day. Several hundred State and city
officials and railroad executives will
be the guests OF the Hamburg -Ameri-
fan Line on the ship today Tomor-
row and until she sails the ship
will be open to the public.
The pennant was given oyer to
her In a telegram of congratulation
from the Cunard liner Mauretania' 3
crew, shortly after the North Ger.
man Lloyd liner had completed her
maiden voyage which lowered the
record OF the fast Cunarder by. eight
hours and Sc minutes.
DOclxed at Sos
She docked at sos p. m. last
night. landing European passengers
in America within five days Of their

beat the fastest days run OF. the
Manretania on four successive days
when she steamed 687. 704 and It's

The fastest speed, according to
Capt. Leopold Ziegenbein, the mas.

Another Record
Another record was made by the
Bremen with the assistance of a

European mail was made when a
seaplane was catapulted from her

east OF Fire Island and mail was
delivered in New York before the

the steamlfne construction of the
Bremen's superstructure give the
ship an odd appearance, may be

RUM CAR SCOUT.
IS ARRESTED

BETHESDA, Md, July 2S.-
Bethesda police have uncovered a
new occupation more or less re.
moteiy connected with the prohibit
ton enforcement law. This novel
profession, or form of employment.
according to one who admits know
ing all about 1t" is termed
blocking"
When officer Shoemaker, attached
to the Bethesda station. attempted
to oyertake d suspected purveyor
OF intoxicating viands, he found his
pursuit suddenly checked by an
other car drawn directly across his
path. Baffled, he abandoned the
chase OF the alleged bootlegger and
hauled the driver of the second Of
Tending car to headquarters, where
the existence of this new profession
was revealed to Bethesda police by
Henry Bernard Thomas. coiored,
17111a Eighth st. N. W., Washing
ton, ID. G.
Accrding to Thomas, who ap.
peared to be proud OF his calling,
all up-to-date rum-runners have
men in their employ known as
'.blockers. . 1t is their duty, said
Thomas. to cruise around much In
the manner OF 4 Chicago ganster's
scout, as q protection against the
forces OF law and order. When a
police car. is spotted, they close in
on 1t, attracting attention and
warding off pursuit. If caught. the
blocker gets off with light fine,
as the method of blocking usually
is made to seem accidental.
In this cease, the blocker was
placed in jail in lieu OF collateral
for reckless driving, displaying
swinging markers and not having q
horn on his automobile. Mean
while, the Bethesda police are fol
lowing up evidence which leaked out
as the result Of the mans gar

The age-old system Of ap-
plying American tariff protee-
tion may be changed from 1

United States valuation"
basis, it was learned today.
The Senate Finance commIttes.
engaged in revising the House tariff
bin, II giving serious consideration
to the change. The Tariff Commits
sion has been asked to file informa-
ton with the committee on the Ad.
visibility cf such change and III
innate action probably win depend
on the commission report.
Statistics Lacking
The present system OF applying
American tariff rates against the
price at which imported articles are
offered for sale In foreign markets
has been the subject Of much con-
troversy. Many American manufac.
turers have charged that the ayg-
visions Of the tariff law under
which the President can raise or
lower duties to meet changed eco.
nomic conditions.
Complaint also has been made
that the American Government han
been unable to obtain accurate sta-
tistics regarding costs of production
road-information considered vital

wall.
The new proposal would apply
the tariff rates to the American
wholesale price of imported articles,
less duty, the importers profit,
transportation costs, Insurance. and
other overhead expenses. Its pro
ponents have argued it would pre-
vent all evasions Of the tariff law
and give effective protection To
American agriculture and industry.
II any change is made. it ap.
peared likely only United States
valuations" would be considered By
the Senate. The House incidentally
gave this system little considerat tioIi.

House Rates Face Slash
An indication that many or the
House rates will be slashed by the
Senate committee meanwhile vas
seen in the action OF Senator Smo0t

the commission for q list OF articles
on which the importations are less
than 10 per cent of American con-
sumption. Smoot said he desired this
information In connection with re-
ducing high House rates.

Company, operators of the Toronto
cooperative apartment house at
Twentieth and p Streets, from sell.
ing the stock OF Mrs. Emily c. Law
son for failure to pay a special az.
sessment. was issued by Justice
Bailey in Equity Court today.
In granting the temporary re-
straining order, Justice Bailey as
serted that the cooperative lease Of
Mrs. Lawson's appeared to be =
trap to catch the unwary," after
Attorneys r. B. Dfckey and 2. c.
Kriz explained to the court that the
woman paid 81, ,020 to the corpora
ton in year, but only 500 Of the
amount had applied to the balance
on her stock. In addition to the
regular payments of $S5 q month,
the court was told that Mrs. Law
son had also honored six other
calls or special assessments.
Failed To Pay It
Mrs. Lawson brought her action
several weeks ago declaring that she
had purchased q cooperative apart
ment in the building by acquiring a
block of stock representing the value
or her apartment and had honcred
calls without question until an ~
sessment of $500 was declared and
she was threatened with the 91ss OF
her stock unless she paid it.
The court required that Mrs. Law
SON filed a bond OF ST. 900 conditioned
that she pay the assessment should
a final hearing of the case determine
that the assessment was q just one.
Attorney Cites Meeting
Attorney e. s. Duvall, counsel for
the apartment company, defended
the assessment and opposed the
granting OF the restraining order.
He declared that officers Of the
company are elected from among
the tenants of the building and
hold their offices without pay, and
said that the plaintiff was present
at the meeting when the call was
voted by ma ajority Of the tenants.
He told the court that Mrs, Law.
son should be bound by the ma
jority and that if the injunction
was granted all the tenants mignt
suffer because OF q possible fore
closure on the entire apartment by
holders Of trusts and encumbrances
