Motel Is Declared Supply f Base of Extensive Organization Which Spreads to Other Atlantic Coast Cities. NEW YORK, April 6. Dudley Field Malone. Collector of Port, charged last n ijcht that British cruisers patrolling the waters along the coast of the United Slates had been violating the neutral ity law by coaling and taking on sup plies from vessels putting out from the port of New York. .Mr. Malone had an extended confer " cnce with the United States District : Attorney, H. Snowden Marshall, regard ing the state of affairs he avers he has ciscovered, and declared he expected to bring the subject to the attention of the .Federal grand jury. Mr. Malone said that for some weeks he had been making an investigation of information that had come to him from various sources to the effect that British cruisers, lying off the entrance to ISew York harbor, bad been receiv ing food and coal from here. I . Warship Is tenth Boat. On board the United States torpedo- 4 boat destroyer Parker the collector had been making trips about the har bor and outside Sandy Hook on many - nights during several weeks past. The collector Intimated that these trips had resulted in important disclosures, al though he would not say what these had been. Mr. Malone admitted, however, that he had evidence to show there was a supply base for the cruisers in a down r. town hotel in this city, from which the . foodstuffs are taken to various piers, i ' then loaded on lighters and sent to t r tea, where they meet British cruisers -A outside the three-mile limit. . Besides Mr. Malone's individual work, f , George F. Lamb, head of the neutrality : snuad here, and several secret service operatives have been investigating for B the customs authorities, it was said. and have obtained much information of value to the authorities. All Ships Watched. ; One method of the search for evl J rience was to place a secret service man at the Atlantic Highlands light, near the entrance to the outer harbor, 2 from which point he scanned the hori J son to see what tugs or larger vessels might bring supplies to the British "a warships. Much evitlence, it was said, 4i was obtained in this way. While these observations have been in progress attention has been paid to tne loading of ships that might take food to the belligerent cruisers hover ing about the coast line. Developments so far. Collector Ma lone said, indicated what appeared to be a conspiracy to violate the neutral ity proclamation of the President by the establishment of an extensive or ganization and central agency to carry on a traffic in supplies for the British cruisers, lie declared that there were evidences, that negotiations had been opened by the agents of some organiza tion with ninny captains and owners of tug boats in New York, Philadelphia and New KngUnd for the services of these captains and their tugs to convey supplies from ' various points to the British warships. - - pressed by the drivers covered many of its salient features. It was said that the license fee pro vided for is unreasonably high. The jitney drivers also object to the provi sion for permanent signs on their cars, saying that this will interfere with change from a regular jitney run the use of their cars by the hour they so desire. Restriction to a single run is opposed on the grounds that the jitney traffic demands changes in routing at different periods of the day, as does the streetcar traffic, and that it is discrimination against the jitney to prevent it from adapting its run to the requirements of traffic at differ ent occasions. The jitney drivers also marl n tain their right to have detachable signs, so that it may be possible for them to put cars onto the run to the baseball grounds or to other points where an increase of traffic demands the service. The provision against carrying more passengers than seating capacity is op posed, and it is said that the organ iza tion provides in its own regulations for driving under overloaded conditions. A. It was asserted by many of the driv ers last night that the essential traf fic rules covered in the ordinance are already enforced among members of the society in accordance witlr rules adopt ed more than a month ago. It will be necessary for the jitney men to file their referendum petition before April 8. If they file it later than that date, it will nov come up at he June election, but wil. go over for two years, April 8 being the last day for filing petitions for the June elec tion. If the petition is filed after April 8, the only way in which the Council will be able to get the measure before the people in June will be by repealing the ordinance and passing another and providing at the time of its passage for its submission to the voters in June under the initiative. The move to issue commuters tickets by the society at rate of six for 25 cents was voted down by a close ballot. H. D. Jones, the business manager, and L. A- Cline, vice-president of the society, resigned last night, giving as the reason that they are going into other lines of business. J. C. Lane pre sided. He announced that he expected to have the referendum petitions ready for the members of the society by to night, so that they may begin circulat ing them tomorrow morning at the latest. FOREIGN WAR DEFENDED PRIXCETOX PROFESSOR DECLARES CONFLICT MOST RATIONAL, Clergymei Declared to Be "Off the Track In Assuming that Evil Pas sions Are Causes of Clashes. NEW YORK, April 6. War was de fended and the clergy were criticised for their world peace propaganda by Philip Marshall Brown, professor of international law at Princeton Uni versity and former Minister to Hon duras, before the annual meeting here of the alumni association of Au burn Theological Seminary at Au burn, N. Y. The speaker held that war was not horrible and indefensible, but "the most rational thing that can happen at times." Professor Brown declared that by denouncing the war. the clergymen are in danger of being ''thrown off the track." Continuing, he said: 'War is not brought on by the evil in men's hearts. Will Italy go Into this war, if she does go into it, from evil passions? Certainly not. She will go into it after careful consideration and to accomplish certain definite ends. It is not from malice that men in war fire at one another, but for a natural idea. It is a sin to call war a horror. I Men go to war actuated by a wonderful spirit of self-sacrifice." The speaker declared that the clergy had made a mistake in dwelling toox much on the propaganda of world peace,' and that a flairs of state should be left in the hands of statesmen.

Captain Halswelle broke the 400 mrter record in the Olympic games in London In 190s In an exciting contest.

Irving street has seen a policeman. The authorities at the 55th and Pine streets station deny that there ever was any such pdliceman, but the Irving-street residents simply refuse to deny their own eyes. Through the morning sunlight he came, they say, a huge expressionless policeman, with light hair, in general type and appearance resembling the character known to modern novelists as the "big mate blonde brute." Housewives at their morning sweep ing saw him from the front windows and called back to the maids in the kitchens, and to the grandmothers by the living-room raidators, "Oh, Nora, come look at the policeman!" "Oh, grandnm look!. What do you suppose that policeman ls doing on Irving street?" So the policeman's progress down Irving street was marked by the as semblage of little groups on all the doorsteps, silent little groups, staring with the reverent wistfulness of those who would "touch" but dare not. A little old woman leaning out of an upstairs window nodded a bright "good morning." A few little children too young to be at school . uttered startled "Ohs" as they clung closer to their mother's skirts. Not once did the policeman's eyes lighten. Not once did he turn his head. Neither the greetings nor the awed silenee affected his monumental poise. At the far end of a block two car penters at work on a porch had dropped their tools to observe the nov elty with the rest. Face to face with the carpenters, the policeman stopped. "Say, Jack," he said. "Where's that Fifty-fifth and Pine streets station house at?. I'm a downtown man, I am! I never was this way before, and these West Philadelphia streets have gone to my head." In proof of which state ment, although it was a cold morning-, j night, he said he had been arrested after a fight wth a couple of men in a dance hall. He couldn't shake Mrs. Segel when the trial came up. She learned from the testimony that her spouse had been taken in a mid night raid on a disorderly resort. He was araigned with two men and three women. Judge Goodnow fined each of the women $5 and costs and the men $3. All said they were single. Some one told the Judge that Segel was married. "Two hundred and costs for you, said tbe Judge. Then Mrs. Segel "awoke." She leaped at her hubby, struck him in the eye, and jabbed him in the ribs, sprinkling him meantime with verbal tabasco. She asked the Judge to reduce the fine, "though he didn't deserve it," as he had hitherto been a good husband and father, and brought his $18 a week home almost intact. The Judge re duced the fine to SI and no costs. Mrs. Segel thanked him, then turned on Mr. Segel, forced him to his knees and made him repeat after her solemn promises that he would never go out at night without her and the children, would bring every penny home to her and would be good enough for her in the future. Then she took him up and forgave him, kissed him and let him accompany her home. legal rights, now that we are fighting for our existence, than we displayed then. "Happily, the American note, what ever theories It may safeguard and whatever reserves it may make in theory, does not appear to support in practice any position incompatible with the broad principles we have laid down or with the specific action of our gov ernment. We do not pretend to agree with it in all respects, but we are reasonably confident that it cannot in any way affect the cordial relations between the two governments. Friendly Tone Is Feature. The Daily Mail says: "The Amer ican people are naturally reason able and just and the distingnlsh- ing feature of the note is its friendliness and general fairness." The Mail reminds Americans that the British government has carefully avoided the use of the word "block ade," admits that the demands for the expeditious settlement of prize court cases is a perfectly fair demand, and concludes: "When all is said England has reason to be profoundly grateful to America." The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial, says: "The Washington Government makes an important and valuable contribution in a suggestion which appears to bear the character of an invitation to the allied governments to declare a formal long distance blockade, 'involving on neutrals all the penalties of attempting to break through." Perplexity Is Suspected. The Daily Chronicle complains that President Wilson makes no mention of the fact that the neutrals have com plete immunity from blockade penal ties, and adds: "This silence seems to us decidedly the least friendly and least candid thing that President Wilson has done in his correspondence with our gov ernment. No doubt the President is in a difficult position, and his note seems to reflect perplexity." The Daily Graphic says: "So long as the President argues on this basis, his arguments have no in terest for the British public." check, it was $14.50. Then a flourish of his napkin. "Well, my man, what can I do for you?" "Are you Charles Colotan of New York?" "Yes, and are you a detective? Let's see your badge." The badge was shown. "All right; I've had a fine ride and a grand dinner. I wanted to see my grandmother, who lives In Philadelphia, but what you say goes, 1 imagine, doesn't it?" "It does," said the detective. "You are going back to New York on the 1U o'clock train." "Well, reserve a berth: I'm tired," said Charles. According to the detective Charles vanished from his home in the after noon shortly before Mrs. Coiotan missed $37 from her purse, he asked tho Philadelphia police to watch the rail road stations. "You couldn't miss him." said Griggs. "The entire crew of the train which he traveled on think he'll be President some day."

Shortly after her death a claim for 81123 was filed. Payment of I these claims was resisted on the ground that they were not necessities of life. As a result 827 was deducted.
