CLOSED PORTS POINT
TO BIG SEA BATTLE
Britain Stops All Shipping
Between United King?
dom and Holland.
Loi ?ion. April 'JTi. Impending opera?
tions m the North Sea arc thought to
be foreshadowed by the incursion of
British submarines into Helgoland Bay
and an embargo on all shipping? be?
tween England and Holland, vhichwas
declared by the British government to- '
day.
During the last week the activity of
the German submarines has decreased
to a marked degrfe. and, coincidental- ?.
ly, British submarines, of which noth- \
ing had been heard for months, have
put in an appearance, and are appar?
ently operating along the German coast i
and around Helgoland. The <?<rman
Admiralty's repor;, announcing these
operations, says that one of the Brit
iah underwriter craft was sunk on
Apr, I 17.
The fact that Great Britain has al
reniiy sent more than 750,000 men
across the Channel to France, a? an?
nounced yesterday, may indicate a
tempor?r?/ eesaatio?i of the transpon
of troops to the Continent, with a con
sequent release of some of the war
ships that have been guarding the
lune. Whatever the intent,on of the,
government, the British people are
convinced that important naval events
are likely to occur within a compara?
tively brief period.
The othcial statement of the British
government, made public first in Am?
sterdam to-day, rays:
"All shipping between Holland and
the United Kingdom is stopped lor the
time being. No ships will leave the
United Kingdom for Holland after to?
day. Ships from Holland will not be
admitted to the I'nited Kingdom after
to-day.
"It is hoped shortly to resume limited
cargo and passenger traffic. Special
arrangements have been made for the
transfer of mail?."
Washington, April 22. Consul Gen?
eral Skinner at London crible.1 to day
tnat the British Admiralty had given
notice that certain port? <>f G rea I Brit
am may be closed to shipping without
notice, "("losing will be indicated,"
the message said, "by three vertical
red lights at night and three red baljs
by da/. When these signals are dis
played \easels must proceed to exam?
ination anchorage or keep to sea."
Berlin. April 22. The German Ad
m,rally todav announced that in Hel?
goland Bay (on the North Sea. between
?he island of Helgoland and the mam
?and, one of the most important Ger?
man naval stations) British subma?
rines have been repeatedly observed re?
cently, an?! attacked by German forces. ?
One Hostile submarine was sent to the'
bottom April 17, and the destruction of
other such vessels is considered prob?
able, the communication asserted.

Allenhurst. N. .1., April 22. To head
off prosecution under the Mann white
slave act, which his neighbors here
were arranging to invoke against him
and his mo'i recent soul mate, Ferdi?
nand Pinney Karle, th<? art i ?t, who put
a new meaning into the word affinity,
is preparing to shake the dust of this
town from his feet
As soon as the packing which en
gaired 1rs attention to-day is flushed
he will move his goods and those of the
latest soul mate. Miss Charlotte Her?
man, from the Ocean Avenue estate of
his brother, Victor M. Karle, to a cot?
tage at Seabnght, the property of his
mother, Mrs. Lily .1. Karle. There, as
soon as the divorce granted wife No.
3 in Nyack last winter is made perma?
nent, he hopes to wed Miss Herman in
time to have their second child born
m wedlock.
Karle has no idea when the wedding
can take place, because his Knglish
wife, the lates, to divorce him, has
given no indication of Intention to
move that the interlocutory decree be
ma,!" absolute. "ntil that is done
Karle, to UM his own words, will_ "re
mam like Mahomet's coffm, suspended
betwixt earth and heaven."
The decision of Karle to move fol?
lowed a notice to him that the powers
that be in this summer town were con
si lern.g ways and means of forcing
him to depart. They wished to do it
quietly, if possible, but were prepared
to go to extremes if necessary. When
the artist showed no inclination to ac?
cept the hints be?toved jpon him, the
townsfolk began the collection of evi?
dence. This work was suddenly
stopped v hen a local real estatet agent
?vas notified by Victor L'arle to find a
tenant for the Ocean Avenue place.
'lilis was tauen to mean that Allen?
hurst would escape the scandal and
notoriety the real estate interests
feared would injure the place through
Ferdinand's continued residence here.
To Wed Soon, Says Earle.
Falle was packing when a reporter
called at the house this noon, and was
a very different Karle from the one
who emerged ??no the limelight in 1907,
when he sent his first wife, Mrs. Kish
bacher-Karle, back to her parents in
Pans and announced that he had found
in Miss Julia Kuttner his real affinity.
The George Bernard Shaw whiskers
v ere gone and he was many pounds
1 heavier and more youthful looking.
Earle is now almost forty, but, though
he apologized for being unshaven, he
look.,I nearer thirty.
"Ves," he said, "we are going away.
| We air going to Seabright."
Karle would not discuss his relations
with his neighbors or the townfolk
I generally, but he was positive in de?
claring his intention of marrying Miss
Herman.
"When?" was asked.
"I wish 1 knew," hi? replied. "Just
I as soon as that decree is made abso
l lute and I can marry without com
1 mitting bigamy. It won't make any
difference to us personally, but I sup
| pose it is a concession we must make
to society. Then I suppose folks will
let us alone and in time be willing to
forget me as 'the affinity man' and
take me for whatever value I have as
an artist.
"My serious work is ignored: only
the frivolous things, the unpleasant
things, are noticed. Some day I hope
that will change."
Karle and Misa Herman have been
ignored socially ?mce they came here
arith their baby early in the year. At
fir?t they were known as Mr. und Mr*.
Kllioit, and posed ns German refugees.
When their identity became known the
local residents decided to allow them
to keep by themselves, and neither
forced their attention nor hospitality
upon anybody.
Karle, mounted on a peculiar typ* of
bicycle, was a prominent figure in the
Streets, and nude friends with manv
of the men, bu' Mi?s Herman was lef'
severely alone by everybody.
When the novelty of Karle's presence
wore oft', the question of his effect
upon rental values was taken up by
some of the property owners. Chief
of Police K. H. Ha-cns ?aid to-day that

"Poisonous Mugwumps"
Roosevelt Told by Quigg They Would Involve 1 lim
in "Good Government" Lntanglements, to the
Prejudice of "Decent Republicans."
? Vtam ? ?'tir Cssgrsspa ittaM ?I Tlsi TW
Syracuse, N. Y.. April 22. What was
considered, by those who heard it, one
of the most remarkable documents in
the political history of the state, Bf??
read to the court here to-day by Will?
iam M. Ivins, counsel for William
Barnes in his. suit against Colonel
Roosevelt. This letter, which was from
Lemuel Ely Quigg in September. 189H,
then chairman of the New York County
Republican Committee, and one of Son?
1 ator Platt'? first lieutenants, followed
u report Quigg had ma?le to Senator
Platt after a visit to Colonel Roose
then at (amp Wyckoff, Long
Island.
Quigg had suggested to the Colonel
, that he be a candidate for Governor.
In his letter Mr. Quigg give? the ideas
of Senator Platt as well as his own as
to the loyalty a Governor should show
to his party organization.
Quigg Posts Roosevelt
Quigg's ! tter to Roosevelt was dated
September 10, ItuS, and read:
"The Senator thinks that you should
come to New York on Wednesday or
Thursday of next sveek. That would
he ?m Sent. 1-1 or IS. In acknowledg?
ing ?ne receipt of this letter will you
piense state whether you can come on
the receipt of a telegram from me?
Thai il to ?ay, it b?-ing assured that
you can come on one or the other of
these days, I will teiegraph you, fixing
1 the precise day,
"The Senator says that he is going
? to make one more etfort to indu?? Gol
, ernor Black to withdraw. He does not
? mean tha? he will offer him any term?,
but simply 1 hat.he will try to convine?
him that in justice to himself, not less
than the Republican party, he should
get out of the way. A!! these -'tones
that you may have read about attempt?
ed dickers with Black by which a? the
price of in? withdrawal he is to be Bent
to the Senate are falsehoods. No other
consideration has been at any time
.suggested to him than he is not the
man for this particular occasion.
"I have no faith in the Senator's fur
! ther appeals. Indeed, I think that he
! humiliates himself by any other course
, than taking Black at his word and call
: ing the roll of the convention; but he
j says that if is only just to the party
'Merest arid to you as the candidat?- to
make u Anal effort to get a harmonious
and united nomination.
"He thinks if will make no differ?
ence in the vote. I don't, but he is
more experienced than I.? The truth is
that everything has already been done
that human ingenuity can suggest to
convince Governor Black of the folly
of his insisting upon remaining a can?
didate, but he w-'ll not listen to any?
body. Halt* the ehairmen of the county
organizationa throughout the stat" have
i.", to see him, to tell him that their
delegation? arc not for him, that his
election ?a impo??ib'e and all that, and
have come awr.y without being permit?
ted to say an> thing that they h a?l in
tended.
"Since 'he Senator'? personal talk
with Black in Washington he has ha?l
frank conversations with one after an?
other of Black's fr?en?!?. He has tol?l
them that, in his judgment, the Gov?
ernor would he beaten If nominated;
th.it he coulil he nominated only as the
result of grea' machine exertion: that
the sentiment in your favor throughout
the state is genuine and universal and
that for him Platt i to disregard the
i-s.pressions of public feeling that have
come spontaneously from every county.
COUNTERFEITED U. S.
NOTES ON TOWELS
' S. TH' . ? tla-fl'l."
Washington, .April 22. A group of
Secr.-t Service men in the Treasury De?
partment this afternoon clustered
around two of the biggest specimens
of counterfeiting ever brought to the
attention of the service. The counter?
feits were Turkish towel?, four feet
long by two feet wide, an?l were re?
markably accurate copies of five-dollar
silver eortifieates, with the Indian hesd,
i and the ten-dollar gold certificate.
The weaving reproduced everj I
of the genuine not?-. Only one imall
omission was detected by A -
Chief W. F. Moran of the Secret Serv?
ice, to whom the notes were sent by
Director Joseph ?.. Ralph of the Bu?
reau of Kngraving.
The towels wore given to an em?
ploye of the bureau, an?! the Secret
Service men to-day began a ?earch for
the manufacturer, to stop I
of more ??? ?
"Inder the law, we do not have to
ahow that the making of a facsim le
of ,-oins or notes you'd be 'armful."
explained chief Moran. "Our law
merely provnie? tiiat such imitationa
| must. n?)t he made. I think these tow?
els were woven sbroad."
except for the most ?eiiou* party rea?
son-, would be foolish leadership and
that he is not prepared to assume such
a responsibility.
Black Determined to Slick.
"These views have been faithfully re?
ported to the Governor, but his invari?
able answer i? that he will remain a
candidate to the end; that he is en?
titled to the nomination: tha*. he has
earned it by good administration; that '
Platt is prejudiced against it: that
there is no real public sentiment in
roar favor and that all this hullaballoo
: has been raised by <?dell and me; that
WO are hi? personal enemies and are
acting from interested motives: that
, you are not tit to be nominated, any?
how, because you are impulsive an?l
, erratic; that your military record, how?
ever it ?nay attest your personal brav
' ery, displays your characteristic ra?h
ne?s and impetuosity and foolhardiness
and that as Governor you would play
the ?le?, il with the organization and get
th<> party into all sorts of tangles and
ridiculous position?-.
"To all this the reply baa been that
your nomination is not a matter of?
choice in the absence of substantial
reasons against you; that the reasons
I do not exist except in the imagination
of the Governor and his friends; that
1 you have always been a sturdy, thor?
oughgoing Republican, and that, while
you have not identified yourself with
the machine, you have never done any?
thing to its ?n.iury; that you have
promised to act In all important mat?
ters after full consultation and in
view of the interests of the Organisa
tion as such as well as the paity v.r.d
public interest.
"The Senator has informed Black
again and again that he has no per?
sonal feeling against him and would
feel himself constrained to support
'him were it not for the obvious condi?
tion of public sentiment. He ha-- said
that he would prevent your nomination
if he eoul'l see any fa?r reason t?)
believe that your administration \ould
be injurious to the organization, but
that, believing that the people want
you, and believing, aWo, that you will
act fairly and intelligently and with
a friendly res-ard for the organi-.At'on
a? it exist?, he would be false to his
duty if he did not see to it that tl.c
public will was carried out.
Organization Behind Platt.
"And so the thing has gone on day
after day since my visit to Camp
Wyckoif. The organization leaders
throughout the state perceiving than
the sentiment at 49 Broadway was fa?
vorable to you, they have acted ac?
cordingly. Instead of an effort to re?
strain the public sentiment, it has been
cultivated ami developed, and with the
final result that the Senator is con?
vinced that it will be scarcely possible

leaders is some'hing wonderful to ob?

officeholders has come the assurance

Syracuse, April 22. Hugely pleated
with the result of his day's examina?
tion In the $?-.0711.1 libel suit brought
against him by William Barne.?, Theo?
dore Roosevelt stepped devra from the
witness stand to-day. He had appeare?!
to enjoy almost every minu'e of it, and
bet raved nc qualms regarding Its con?
tinuation to-morrow.
The Colonel had rea?on to ha
pleased. More than once he had thrown
off all restraint, and spoken his mind
in vigorous fashion to the Jury. With
the smile of a cat pnvuhcrant with
canaries, he had heard letters read
which showed h m juggling with such
political prestidigitators, as Senator
Platt, Benjamin H. Odell an?l Lemuel
K. Quigg. And the court smiled wl'h
him. Two points in the persistent,
purposeful examination which William
.M. Ivins thrust at the Colonel for
three hours and fifty-rive minutes got
under his skin that he was a casuist
in regard to his own powers of choos?
ing between right and wrong and an
empiricist when criticising the samo
function In ancher, and that his
memory was fallible.
"I attaek iniquity and wrongdoing,*?
asserted the Colonel with swelling
chest, "but I try to choose the time for
the attack when I can get the bulk of
the people to support me. You can
only accomplish permanent reforms
when you can educate the people up to
tho point of standing by you."
Stands for Righteousness.
"You stand for rightcou?ness?" In?
terjected Mr. Ivir.s, benevolently.
''I do" with a glistening smile ?
"and I believe emphatically you must)
have a due regard for opportuneness
as to the time and metho?l of attacking
iniquity, but for righteousness you
must stand, regardless of supp.srt, juit
as I did as Governor."
Mr. Ivms's ne\t question cut in
sharply "Does that apply to Mr.
Barnes as well as to you?"
*-It does" just as inci?iv??lj-.
"Did it In 1912? Has not every man
an equal right, with you to determine
what time best suits him to attack
evil ?"
"He has if he has the root of right?
eousness in him. If he Is a wrongdoer
he hasn't."
"Who's the judge?"
Colonel Roosevelt almost leaped from
his chair. Clenching bis fists he
brought them down on his knees.
Thrusting his flushed face forward, he
shouted: "It may be that I have to bo
the judge."
Mi. Ivins, who had been sitting
quietly, one har.d cupping his chin,
jumped up and raised a protesting
hand.
"It's a responsive answer," reminded
the Colonel's counsel
"I don't object to h;? an?wer," re?
plied Mr. Ivins; "I object to his man?
ner."
"Ill say this to the Jury" an?
nounced the Colonel.
"You needn't say it so emphatically,"
directed Mr. hin.?, and the witness fell
suddenly silent.
His Memory Fallible.
The curt, almost sullen "I don't re?
member" which the ? olonel flung back
time after time while Mr. Ivins was
prodding him about leg.?lation at Al?
bany seemed to ?how irritation of an
?lifft-rent ?irder.
"Your memory Is fallible after all,
isn't it'.'" asked Mr. Ivins, 111 accents of
pleased BUrpi I
"Mv memory is fallible," the Colonel
" glint of teeth show?
ing dai
Aside from Mr. [vins* quiet tapping
".I ?i?lge n?.t" and the
reflection <>m his memory, 'he colonel's
day ?sa? a del gl tful on?-. In the mum?

The imperious bos? bouncer and the
lawyer with more than forty years'ex?
perience in the vs.le? of witnesses were
0 if. Nor was all the
craft or, the part of the attorney.
Colonel Roosevelt did set fly his true
colors until the afternon ?. -? OH "? ?? 1
well along. Meekly during the morning
he submitted while Mr. Ivini guided
him along the cours?? of hi? early
career, flushing and responding
the correct ?legree when the goa?1 bit a
trifle and falling easily back into the
old gait.
"How do sou knov thai substantial
justice was done""' inquired Mr. Ivins,
after a question relating '.. Roosevelt's
