It was said yesterday by one of the cus

the companies made little by th« operation.

WEALTH IN THE STEERAGE
Lusitania's Cabins Full, Many
Took What They Could Get.
The Cunard liner L.usitanla. which cam"
to port on Thursday nieht but was unable
to land h*r passengers until yesterday, had
the distinction of bringing home several
wealthy Americans in her Fteerne*. ? llc
carried 2.053 passengers. 473 beins: saloon.
4i second cabin and 1.124 steerage. She
was filler! to capacity, and before leaving
Liverpool no one had asked to cancel his
transportation.
This was unpleasant n°w« for the bte
waltins list of pom* two hundred persons
anxious to pet back to N*w York and will
inc to pay any price for saloon accommo
dations. At the last moment at least forty
persons who could afford the best rooms
on the steamship -ers-ed the officials to
put them in th^ second cabin. Provision
was made for a dozen of these wealthy
travellers, and they made their first trip
across the Atlantic "travelling peoond"
The demand for transportation struck the
anxious Americans like an epidemic, and
the fever ran so high that eleven persons,
jAw*lled and richly gowned, accepted ac
commodations in the steerage and took their
meals In the- first cabin dining room.
The immigration officials wore surprised
to tinti so many prosperous Americans in
the Lusitania's s^eerasre. There were OB
In all. and it is said that a third of them
•were wealthy and were made voluntary
steerage passeacTers by the congestion of
westward traffic and the scarcity of steam
ship accommodations. Among those said
to have come over In the steerage were
Judsre Townsend. of Kansas City, and his
family.
It was said by several immirrHtion In
spectors that the. wealthy persons of the
steerajr* had fairly comfortable sleeping
quarters and that they had declared that
th* Inconvenience was not nearly so bad as
they had expected. Throughout the day
they had the freedom of the entire steam
ship, and were compelled to spend only the
nierht in the stperace quarters. It was sad
that about twenty passengers cam* over
without stateroom or berth and curled up
on ruj?s after midnicht. Some of rugtred
health slept at nicht on deck on the lee
ward side of the steamer in d€ L . chairs
and declared the experience was not at all
unpleasant.
It Is expected that the French liner La
Provence and the American liner New
York, due to-day from Havre and South
ampton, respectively, will have similar
conditions on board Th« Hamburg-Amer
lean liner Cleveland, from Hamburg, find
the White Star I1n»r Celtic, from Liverpool,
due here on Sunday, will also have many
wealthy passengers making an m forced
trip In the second cabin and steerage.
Amone the Lusitania's passengers was
Lord Cowdray, who before beine elevated
to th* tveeraire was Sir Weetman Pearson
H* said ho came here on a business and
pleasure trip.

a young naval officer, who has been at the
Plaza for pome day? with his brother. lieu
tenant Alexander Soldmtenkofl
Commander Soldatenkoff has the unique,
distinction of being not only the first Rus
sian to go down in an American submarine.
but the first to make a flieht with Wilbur
Wrlarht. Tn fact, he say?, he was the fourth
man that ever sat beside the thin-lipped,
taciturn flyer in the air. He has seen ser
vice in many countries, was In command of
submarines durinar the Russo-Japanese war.
but was locked up at Vladivostok and had
small chance to get into action. At present
he is attached to the embassy at Rome.
"We are paying great attention to avia
tion in Russia." he said last night. "When
no became interested in submarines a large
appropriation was set aside for this class
of boats, but it was not entirely used, and
it is due to the energetic and virile Grand
Duke Alexandrovitch.. hrotlrer-in-law of the
Czar, that the rest of the sum, amounting'
to about $I,<W>,ooo. will he used for airships.
"We now have a school of aviation near
Paris, snd this month we will have ma
noeuvres for Russian officers. The ma
noeuvres will be held at two places, Kras
nole gelo and Gatchino, under the guidance
of foreign instructors. In time our own
officers will take up the instruction. We
will use French planes and some American
ones.
"..he aeroplane Is going to he a great
thing in warfare. Oh. I'm an enthusiast.
Some day the gyroscope will he used for
stability; there's no doubt of that. But not
at present. It will take time, practice
and a good deal of calculation to use this
principle, but it will come.
"Next to the aeroplane I'm most inter
ested in the submarine," he continued.
"When I think of th« first =i]hmaHnec,
which had so small spac* that th* men
and officers had to stand cramped and
stonps-d. and such poisonous gases from
the engines that our uniforms fairly rotted
off our backs— that's the troth— makes
m* wonder when r read that a French
officer has asked permission of th* War
rvrartmont to go from Paris to New
York under the sea.
"But in time that fe»t will b* accom
plished, and th* tlm* is not so far off. A
submarine can en from Brest to Paris now
under water. They can carry a lavish sup
ply of fuel and food.' 1
Commander Soldatenkofl Is a great ad
mirer of Theodore Roosevelt, and returned
yesterday morning from Denver, where he
went to hear the Px-President speak.
"The West was wonderful— marvellous. I
think of all Impressions I have received in
all countries that was th* greatest." ! =
said. "I heard Mr. Roosevelt speak in
Paris, and I have followed his speeches In
Sweden and or.h*r place? and i believe in
the principles he advocates. I cannot Bay
how they would work in application, be
cause I do not know ( ne country, but I be
Ueve in the things he Stands for."
I [tenant Soldatenkoff has already gen*
to Russia to take parr in th* manoeuvres;
ard Commander Boldatenkoll will sn4l in a
week or ten days.

Residents of Many States Need
Not, Register in New York.
Albany. Sept. 2.— Attorney G a n-ral O'Mal
l.v to-day advised S. S. .Koenlg, Secretar^
of State, that owner ? of automobiles, resi
dents of other states, under the laws of
which residents of New York State are en
titled to freedom from the requirements «f
registration for limited periods of time),
should enjoy the same privileges In this
state under the Callan motor vehicle law.
Under this opinion residents o? Massa
chusetts, which allow? owners of autom
biles living in New York State to be ex
empt from th Q requirement to register in
Massachusetts for ten days in any year, ar*
entitled to the same privilege in this state.
The Attorney General points out that this
question was not involved in his previous
opinion, in which he held that residents of
states srrantinc ncn-re=id*nt= temporary li
cense were not entitled to any exemption
under the New Tork law. In that case the
non-residenr is required to register and
generally to pay n feo . co there i? not an
exemption from the requirement of regis
tration As there is no machinery pro
vided by the New York law for tempo
rary registration, the Attorney frT.Ti!
held that residents of euch states could not
enjoy similar privileges in New York
State
Th* Secret ) ry of State said to-nlrht that
la conformity with th* Attorney General's
opinion these states are now exempt from
registering under the Callan law: Cali
fornia. Connecticut, Delaware. Florida.

Wisconsin.
The Province of New Brunswick, Canada,
fs also exempted Th* other Canadian
provinces are not exempted, as th*y re
quire motor tourists to register. New Jer
sey is the only Eastern state now that
does not have reciprocal relations with
New York relative to automobile registra
tion.

TIRES OF STAYING IN JAIL
Man Confined for Contempt Gets
No Sympathy from Court.
About a month and half asT" Hynek Nap
erst»k was s-nt to Ludlow Ftr»*t .Tat! for i
contempt of court. Now there cnm*s a j
wail from the city's famous hoirtlery Nap- j
erstek wants to get out: he if sick. Maybe i
the prisoner is suffering from an overta- |
dulgpnc* In th* rich food for which th* j
Jail has a reputation, but he did not 1
say. His application for release came b*- •
for Justice Hendrick. who decided yester
day that Naperstek had better remain in
Jail a while longer.
Naperstek's confinement came originally ;
through trouble with his wife She was
the widow of John Opltz. who had a wide '
reputation on the East Side as the discov
erer of an insect exterminator. She had
his business when she became Mrs. Naper
stek. Later she obtained a decree of sepa- f
ration. Naperstek then set tap an estab- !
lishment where he also sold an insect "x- \
terminator, using a label and can that were
identical with those used by his wife
Mrs. Naperstek declared that this was an ,
infringement and brought proceedings in |
the Supreme Court to enjoin him from ,
doing business on th* reputation of her
first husband, in which she had a com
mercial interest. She won her case. but
Naperstek paid no attention to an injunc
tion and kept right on selling.
Then Mrs. Naperstek moved to have her
husband punished for contempt of court.
The court found him guilty and commit
ted lv.m to Ludlow Street Jail in default '
of the payment of a fine of $25.0 There he
has been since July 11. It developed In the
argument for his release that his brothers
were running his business and were still
selling, th* cans that caused his trouble.
