"It looks as if I would not be able
to wear out my shoes with Ne?lin
Sole?. They have been in service
about a year, and are still good," writes
W. C. Dickinson of New Haven, Conn.
It is natural that shoes with Ne?lin
Soles should wear a long time,' for
Ne?lin Sales give extra wear where
most shoes wear out quickest.
These long-lasting soles are made by
Science to be especially tough and dur?
able?comfortable and waterproof, too.
If you want to save money on shoes
buy them with Ne?lin Soles. Good
shoe stores carry them in many styles
for men, women, and children. And
you can have your old shoes re-bot?
tomed with Ne?lin Soles at any repair
shop.
Ne?lin Soles are made by The Good
year Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio,
who also make Wingfoot Heels?guar?
anteed to outwear all other heels.

His First Official Act
!
? New Commissioner Asks
Fstimate Board to Ap?
prove Pelham Extension
Lewis Xixon, appointed regulatory
Public Service Commissioner by Gov?
ernor Smith on Saturday, took up
his duties yesterday. Until Governor
Smith names n rapid transit com?
missioner, he also wiU serve in that
capacity.
Commissioner Xixon arrived at the
offices of the commission early and
immediately went into conference with
Acting Chairman Travis If, Whitney
and Commissioner F. J. H. Kracke.
"I have not taken any attitude on
any question," lie told reporters. "The
j only thing 1 have dono is to talk mat
j tors over with the two commissioners.
| I am not foolish enough to como here
with any preconceived opinions. The
law defines what 1 shall do, and I am
here to carry out the law."
Mr. Xixon declined to talk of any
contemplated changes in the office
Thus far the only persons affected
are Commissioners Whitney, Kracke
and Hervey, who are legislated out of
oifice. The new commissioner will re?
ceive $15,000 a year, the same sal?
ary as each of the five commissioners
under the old law. Under the reor?
ganization there will be three regula?
tory deputies and one rapid transit j
deputv.
Fare Changes Unlikely
Answering a question, Commissioner'
Xixon said he believed there could be j
I no change in tho fares or transfers in |
the city unless there was a change in
the franchises under which tho trac?
tion concerns operate. He said ho
thought it would be an easy matter to
get along with the Board of Estimate,
and 'xpressed his intention of co- |
operating with that body. ?Ho said that |
he was in full sympathy with the city I
administration, but declined to take any
position on municipal ownership.
Commissioner Nixon's first official
i act was to send a letter to the mom
i bers of the Board of Estimate, urging
i that body to give its approval as soon
as possible to ?i contract recently,
awarded by the former Commission
I for the construction of the Pelham Bay
? Park extension of trie Lexington Ave
j nue subway. The steel for this work
has been purchased. Approval by the
Board of Estimate and tiie appropria?
tion of necessary funds must be had
before the work can be advanced.
All hearings have been adjourned
for a week to give the new Commis?
sioner an opportunity to familiarize
himself with the cases under consider?
ation.

German Officers
Here Boast They
Beat the British
? Zeehrugge Claimed as Ten
ton Triumph : Jutland
Also Called a Victory
By Naval Men on Liner
. There still are some German officers
left who believe it was Germany who
won the war. Apparently they are
among the six German naval men who
were on board the former Hamburg
American steamship Cape Finist?re,
now a transport in the service of the
; United States, when she landed in Ho
| boken yesterday from Brest. On board
were 1,052 officers and men or the
I American army. Twenty-six officers
and 585 men were from the 127th In?
fantry; six officers and twenty-one
men from the 64th Infantry Brigade
Headquarters, eight officers and 175
men from the 109th Base Hospital,
seven officers of the. 77th Division,
thirty-five casual officers and 175
nurses.
Captain Emil Pohlman was in com
, mand of the German contingent. He
formerly was on the German raider
! Moewe. He boasted that the ship had
? sunk forty-three Allied vessels. He.
; also was on a German auxiliary cruis?
er that met the British in their raid on
Zeebrugge mole. Captain Pohlman ex?
hibited iron crosses which he said he
won in that engagement and showed
photographs of some of the victims of
the Moewe as they were sunk by the
raider.
Second Lieutenant Nieghar, another
German officer, said he was on the
Schleswig-Holstein in the battle of Jut?
land anil was wounded. According to
him the battle was a Gorman victory.
Engineer Alweys Borgmeyer said
Zeebrugge was a German triumph, as
: they lost only eight men, while the
| British lost 676 dead and 18 prisoners.
He boasted of participating in raids on
the British coast.

Relief for Polaiu
Suffering of Children ?
Described in Bepori; De
cgates From All Over th
V. S. and Canada Her
More than 100 rabbis, represent ir
orthodox Jewry in the United Stat?
and Canada, are in a three-day co
ference, which began yesterday at tl
Broadway Central Hotel, Third Stn.
j and Broadway. '
Rabbi S. Margolis of the Eighty-fifl
', Street Synagogue presided at the opoi
| ing of the sixteenth annual conventic
I of the Union of Orthodox Rabbi
, This year, as previously, the meetir
is being held in Trotzky's restaurai
j on the second floor of the hotel.
The conference opened with pray.
for the government of the Unit?
! States and for the success of the Vi
tory loan. A resolution was sent
President Wilson protesting again
the pogroms in Poland.
Rabbi Margolis said that the mass
eres o? Jews in Crimea. Pinsk, Ro
mania and Poland had caused inten
suffering among children, which cou
be relieved, in a measure, by shipnu?
of food. He said the union would c
operate with the ('entrai Relief Co
niittoo, at 51 Chambers Street, of whi<
Harry Fischel is treasurer. The uni

Europe. It will.also assist the Zion
movement for the restoration of Pah
tine.
Conditions in Poland were descril
to the conference in a report just
ceived from Dr. Bogen, from whi
this item is taken :
"In an orphan asylum in Pinsk <
dinarily intended to house sixty ch
i dren, there were three hundred lit
ones, representing every stage
; inanition. Children that looked o
though they were not, constituted mi
j than two hundred in that crowd. .
of them represented instances wh
parents had been killed at the fr>
or in pogroms, or had starved to de?
by the wayside. More of these lil
ones were being brought in, day
and day out. Xot one of them had ha
'? bit of bread to eat for some days, i
; no clothing to speak of. There was
heat in the building."
Lack of food and clothing is c
| tributing to an appalling spread
j tuberculosis und typhus in Pols
I which is stimulating Jewish po<
! here to hurry relief.
The conference ,is being condu<
entirely in Yiddish and Hebrew. B
ness sessions will be held this m<
Ing and afternoon. Officers will

.Wie York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 5. The "Ameri?
tan headquarters of the provisional
government, of Corea,'' through Dr.
Syngham Rhce, to-day made public the
following letter from Miss (?race L.
Dillingham, of l'yen:; Vane;, Corea, who
was a resident of New York before she j
entered upon her career as a Christian
teacher in Corea:
"Tho King's funeral was held a week
ago to-day in Seoul .March 4, 1910). I
went down the Saturday before, and I
did not believe there were so many
people in Corea as were on the train, at
the station and at Xandaimon. It gave
an excellent opportunity for the people
to get to the capital.
"It seems there has been an uprising
planned for a year and a half, though
nono of the foreigners knew about it
till it was timo to nuil it off. It was
general and very skilfully planned. A
manifesto was signed?by thirty-three
loading men, about a third of them be?
ing our Christian pastors. On Satur?
day afternoon the people gathered at
Chong-No and sent up a big 'Banzai!'
for Corean freedom. Then they sepa?
rated into groups and went to the
j palace and the legations, where they
read their declaration of independence
and explained their situation. They
did not resist arrest, as they expected
it. Old Kil Moksa from here was de?
layed. He took a rickshaw from the sta?
tion to the police station, where he told
who he was, and he said he was sorry
! to be late, but it was because of his
train. ( Kil Moksa was one of the sign?
ers of the declaration of independence.)
Liberty Meetings Continue
"About 150 were taken in Seoul that
I day without much disturbance. Mean?
while things were doing In Pyeng Yang
and the north. Here memorial meetings
were held at 1 o'clock, and as they were
dismissed they turned into liberty!
meetings, with 'Banzais' and ("orean !
flags. The samo things happened in
1 many places and have continued more
or less since.
"The plan was to como out unarmed
and make these general demonstrations
with the hope of getting a hearing at
the peace conference. The leaders
would, of course, be imprisoned, but
they were willing to be martyrs. The
students, male and female, of the gov
, crnment and the mission schools de
! manded the same privileges as the Jap
I anese have. Ever so many of them,
boys and girls, are in prison?which
they also expected.
"What they did not count on was the
! brufal treatment of the police and
soldiers in some places. Here they
' fired'into the crowds and killed and
wounded ever so many. Dr. Falwell's
: hospital is full of them. Two died,
one has had 'o have an arm amputated
at the shoulder and one a leg. School
girls were tied to telephone poles by
their braids and flogged. One of our
missionaries saw a man standing with
his back to the road, stabbed with a
: bayonet. i
Abuses of Women Charged
"Mrs. Moore and Miss Trissel were
stopped on their way to our hospital.
They turned to go back in obedience i
to the guard's command, and he struck
thorn both in the back with tho butt '
of his.gun. Be assured the news was
reported to the consul, who is doing;
all in his power in the whole affair.
"Christians in the jails are being
tied to crosses and beaten after be- j
ing stripped of their clothing. The ?
'girls from one school who happened i
to bo taken are the most meek and |
bashful ones. Some of our girl teach- j
ers are in the prison, sentenced for ;
some length of time. They will not ;
allow warm clothing to be given the
girls, who were taken in their sum?
mer clothes. To-day I've had all I
could do to keep warm in all I have.
"Churches are being looted, Bibles
burned and there is an attempt to
crush Christianity. Of course, the
Christians went in to do their bit
along with the rest, and will have to f
take the consequences, but it is hard
to see them so roughly handled. Out
schools are without teachers or pupils,
as those who haven't been taken have de?
parted, and as almost all the preach?
ers are in prison, our work is not
booming. But, as Dr. Moffett an?
nounced yesterday, if there are just j
three new believers, 'I guess the Lord
won't let things go ail to pieces.'"
Passengers Are Vexed
By Many Snbway Delays
Trouble Starts At 6:35 in Morn?
ing and Occurs at Inter?
vals During Day
Subway travel yesterday was a
scries of starts and stops, with alto?
gether too many stops to suit most
patrons. Trouble began at 6:63 in tho
morning. The last delay came during
the rush hour last evening. Each
time there was complaint from pas?
sengers, owing to the failure of the
ticket sellers or platform guards to
notify the public that the subway wa3
blocked.
Early in the mcrning a Lexington
Avenue train jumped the track at
the end of the platform at the At?
lantic Avenue station, Brooklyn. One
:;ar turned sideways, and blocked both
East Side and West Side trains. It re?
quired nearly an hour to straighten j
the car out.
Traffic scarcely had been resumed j
when there was trouble with circuit
breakers in Brooklyn. This occasioned
another delay of twenty minutes.
During the rush hour last night a
Jerome Avenue train came to a sud- j
den stop just after leaving the Hoyt
Street station, Brooklyn. Traffic was j
completely blocked and each station j
platform was thronged with people.
