GERMAN SHIP HEADS
HERE SEEKING ROUTES
Directors of Hamburg-Amer
ican Line Come Via Norway,
Pr. Wllhelm Cunn, director-general of
the Hamburg-American steamship line,
successor of Albert Eallln, who commit
ted suieido after learning the terms of
the urmlstlce, arrived yesterday on a
hteamslnp from Chrlstlanla, reticent
about the exact object of his visit but
willing to bo quoted as saying explicitly
that he Is "hero to sec about the future
policy of the Hamburg-American line.'
Ho was accompanied by Uernhardt Hul
dermann anil Itlchardus I'eltzer, dlrec
tors of the line.
The Herman trio was met at the pier
by Julius P. Meyer, a vice-director of
tho lino in America, and the general
pusMHRcr manager here, and all later
went to the home of William C. Slckcl,
Clraniorcy Park, freight manager and
vice-director at this port. They were
detained temporarily by the Immigration
authorities but treated with mucli
courtesy, a they had besides their pass
porn sp(cial permission from the De
partment of Ktatf to land.
Although the visitors would not tell
whether they were going to Washing
ton to consult with the Shipping Hoard
It has been published that this Is their
Intention, and they djd not deny it. It
was inferred that they simply did. not
want to talk until they had compared
notrs with Messrs. Slckel and Meyer.
BURNS KILL WOMAN;
ONE LEAPS TO DEATH
Inspector Pomlnlck Henry, sus
pended by Commissioner Enrlght fol
lowing his indictment on a charge of
neglect of duty, pleaded not guilty be
fore Judge Malone in General Sessions
yesterday nnd was held In $2,300 ball
for tilal on Thursday. April 22.
imn.fAr nf n-iiieh to him was nrcom

Anderson, who will haruiy uo usp.h:

to Henry w.ib largely real estate, part
of It In Chicago. Ellery 0. Anderson Is
a member of the law tlrm of Anderson,
Iselln, Anderson Ac Itlggs, Hroad
street.
Saying that Inspector Henry's appli
cation for an Immediate triul was based
solely upon public grounds, Mr. Cockran
continued :
" "The extraordinary decorum main
tained In tills city, the largest In the
world, with a most heterogeneous popu
lation, by u itfillce force numbering less
than oni-half of that maintained In Lon

Dentist's Wife Victim of Fire
Thrilling Rescues.
Mrs. Agnes Wheeler, wife of L'r. Isaiah
K. Wheeler, a dentist, died last night in
Itooscvelt Hospital of burns suffered In
a fire In her lionv, BO West Fifty-first
ftreet Her death wan the second caused
by tho fire, Mary McGirk, a cook, hav
ing been killed when sh'i- leaped from a
fourth story window. Mary Lyons and
threo other tenants of the house were
lifted to safety from tho fourth floor
windows by firemen, who formed a hu
man chain from the building adjoining.
Mr. Wheeler paid when he was
awakened by the fire at 4 A. JI., he
felzed his wife by the arm and tried to
escape by th" stairs. This way was
cut off by smoke and f!amf;s, however,
and Dr. Wheeler ran to a front window
on the third floor. He supposed his wife
was following, but when he discovered
her absence he went three or four times
through the smoke choked lulls to find
her. Ho concluded she had tried to
escape to the roof. Dr. Wheeler was
rescued from the third floor window.
to cause tho urrest of James E. Smith,
the "vice prosecutor," for contempt of
court. H5 hotly accused Smith of
having violated the law ns to the
secrecy of proceedings of the Grand
Jury by giving to newspaper men on
Thursday the record of Henry's trans
actions in the stock market and a
misstatement of fact regarding them.
He charged that Grand Jury processes
have been openly violated to satisfy
a private vengeance."
Mr. Smith, shaking his fist at the
noted orator who is defending Henry,
replied that Mr. Cockran's words were
"absolutely false." He said that tho
reporters got their information about
Henry's brokerage account from the
man who produced It at Mr. Smith's
oiilco on Thursday. Judge Malone
thereupon declined to entertain tho
charge of contempt.
Inspector Henry later went to Mr.
Cockran's oltice, 100 Broadway, and
there the lawyer prepared a statement
setting forth part of Henry's general de
fence and assailing Assistant District
Attorney Smith. He characterized Mr.
Smith's statement in court as "deliberate
untruth" and intimated that he would
try to have the prosecutor prosecuted for
perjury and make as well a complaint
to tho Bar Association.
Henry' I'xplnnntlon Withheld.
Henry, the Cockran statement said,
voluntarily had disclosed to the Ex
traordinary Grand Jury the existence of
his accounts with brokers and at the
same time hnd explained that an aunt
had given $50,000 to the Inspector, part
of which he had iiuesled in slocks. Cock
ran accused Smith of suppressing this
Information favorable to the inspector.
Mr. Cockran further said that Henry
would not ftand on a technical defence
when he goes to trial, but would prove
that "conditions throughout his Inspec
tion district In point of order, cleanliness,
decency and safety arc the highest In the
world." Henry contends that commer
cialized vice is absolutely unknown In
the district and cannot exist under his
system of Inspection.
".if course." said Mr. Cockran, "this
condition canrot continue If every
woman whose traffic is arrested and
every criminal whosn enterprises are
thwarted tan find eager welcome in the
Distrlit Attorney's ollicc on any charge
that lie may choose to make against the
ilflccr who Is enforcing the law."
Analysis of Henry's accounts vlth the
brokerage firm of Hillings, ..'lcott &
Wmsmore indicates that his deposits
between June 5 and January 6 last were
about $10,000 Instead of $52,000, as
suggested Thursday at the District At
torney's office. Attorney Cockran would
not let Henry' talk yesterday, but when
the Inspector was asked If the llifure
$10,000 was about right he nmlded his
head alternatively. The analysis ab
Indicates that instead of bucking the
market successfully Henry was a loser
by a few thousand dollars.
Tryliij? the Cine In Xewspnpem.
Defore Issuing his formal statement
Mr. Cockran said this was the tlrst time
he had ever talked to the newspapers in
advance of a trial, but as the District
Attorney had attempted to try his case
In the press "my client will have to ask
a hearing before the same tribunal."
"The prosecution of Domlnlck Henry,"
said the Cockran statement, "began this
morning by a deliberate untruth on the
part of Mr. Smith to the court before
which the defendant was arraigned. He
denied em the responsibility of his offi
cial oath and position that he had given
to tho newspapers ii statement about
certain stock transactions of Mr. Henry.
Ho could not have donn otherwise with
out exposing himself to conviction for
contempt.
"All tho reporters of the evening
newspapers who were In the office of
Mr. Smith aliout 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, Thursday, April S, know that
statement to be untrue. These reporters

the truth in this respect.
"Other proceedings will lu taken In

"The charge against Inspector Henry

Mrs. -Mary Jicvan Hurt He
cause She Failed to Win
Prize.
In th strong room of thu American
line steamship Philadelphia when she
arrived in this port yesterday there lay
the sum of $10,000,000 In British gold,
contained In 43 steel boxes, and con
signed to J. 1. Morgan & Co. Tho only
mention mada of the money by Mrs.
Mary Bcvun, one of tho passengers, was
this:
"Strike me, It's a proper bagatelle to
what the British nation will put up to
see Mary Hevnn when she goes sailing

It is the contention of Mrs. Bevan that
thu British public must pay for the fault .
of having kept her, until the fourth dec- !
ado of her exlstente, In the tragic class j
of those whose supreme gifts receive no
recognition from their own countrymen.
She was nearly forty, she explained yes

Hut she knew they lied, becaus' within
a moment after she faced her first pub

ly gentleman Had collapsed in a m. .

well. But she tellcves that with such a
countenance as hers the last day's pov
erty she will ever know has passed into
the category of things which are wholly
over, nnd mat from the moment the
New York public glimpses her she will
be a riot
It was explained yesterday by a per
son who was Introduced to tho pressmen
as. Dexter Fellowcs, an employee of the
Hlngllng Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey's Combined Circus, that the
Hlngllng Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey's Combined Circus had arranged,
at a fabulous sum, to bring Mrs. Bevan
to this country.
"We. heard," he said, "that a contest
was given in London, with a prize for
the most beautiful woman, and another
prize for the homeliest. Anil tnat tins
lady was defrauded of the second prize
by a piece of Jugglery and Injustice. We !
are paying her a salary which 1 hesl- j
tate to mention in the fear of disbelief; j
out all I can say after seeing her is .
that the agent who consigned her to us
sent us twice the value for which we
agreed to pay."
"Bight." said Mrs. Bean, whose
countenance resembles that of a eow
moose as cut from a Stilton cheese by
an inexpeit artisan with a dull knife
during the tmal onslaught of an attack
of delirium tremeis. brought on by the
kind of whiskey they are selling on ,
Broadw-av now. "Illffht the gentleman .

Kingdom tiieie is not another woman

this
"It Is idle to say that these charges
affect only the heads of the police. It
Is Impossible for the head of any body
to be corrupt and Its members efficient.
Either the administration of the Police
Department Is hopelessly corrupt or the
District Attorney's office Is recklessly
undermining the foundations of that dis
cipline on which the city must depend
for safety of life and property as well
as for order and decorum In Its high
ways. "That Is the Issuo that must be set
tled, nnd at once. It far transcends any
personal controversy between Henry and
Smith, between Swann and Enrlght or
between the rity Administration and its
critics. It affects vitally the welfare of
every human being In the city."
Mr. Smith said: "Tho game I am
after Is bigger than a mere Inspector of
police.1' He ndded that before the int
meeting of the Grand Jury he would
collect evidence of stock transactions
and bank deposit.", of five police oflicials.
It was not his fight, he declared, but
the fight of the people for clean gov
ernment. Patrolmen Gunson nnd Moloney and
Peter Onlllottl and two of the waiters
In Peter's restaurant were held in $2,300
ball apiece.
Commissioner nf Accounts Hlrshfield
sent out a statement regarding Mrs.
Grace Humliton's assertion that Deputy
Police Commissioner Ellen O'Grady and
Mayor Hylan declined her proffere-d as
sistance In protecting girls. The reason,
he said, was that Commissioner Woods
had revoked her appointment as a .-pedal

Two Smaflfl IHIainids amid a
Big Irom Key
fifty-nine years ago Tlmrstliiy of this week, unlocked the door,
down lower Market street, in Philadelphia, nt :!I0 in the morn
ing, nnd the first day of this business then began. That day
the new firm sold $24.07 in gentlemen's collars, cliffs and
neckties. Hesides the two members of the firm, there was but
one employee. We had no endowment from our fathers ami
we had to cut our own road. Tt was n new undertaking with
small capital and large ideas and all the energy of youth and
hope.
Thus began the realization of the
elrcam of its rounder, who write
these? lines before breakfast nt half
pasl 7 in (lie morning, in a slight
snowstorm falliiif on the ea nt
Atlantic City.
The first two thoughts stealing in
through the windows of recollection
are three deeply felt, nil ooiiipellinf,'
inspirations of youth:
1. "Despise not the dity of
small things,"
Do not spend lime em
"nothing."
il. Do not fail to do the best
that is in you every time.
To us the rarly "days" of store
making were much more than mak
ing a livelihood. Back of every
thing and elown elecp in the foun
dations there lay a platinum stra
tum of mutual benefits, vital to the
success aimed for, so that there was
something higher than mere money
making. We believed that an opportunity
offered to elcvrlop in our employees,
and to give the public at large 11
system of mutual interests, vitally
important to the city and nation.
Our first years in buhiness were
all school years, of moderate pros
perity, with
1. Fixed principles.
2, Dependable epialitics of mer
chandise.
.1. One price.
4, Exactness of published and
oral statements,
and. further, with the privilege of
bringing back articles purchased if
not satisfactory, not simply lo be
cM'hangcd. but for return of cash
paid (which was necessarily abro
gated eltiring the war by rctuil store
keepers for the saving of labor-.
Formong the Four Cardinal Points
which kept our steering wheel firmly in front of the North Star,
to guide us onward, through three wars, and until the present
hour.
All through these years, by our schools and methods of
mutuality, a great company has grown up to worthy citizen
ship and to become makers of happy homes. A large number
of the chiefs of offices and the merchandise heads have risen
from the ranks of the boys and girls, and arc still with us.
We write on our banner for this, our sixtieth year:
"Not merely for the sake of
livelihood, but for honorable
deeds" and further progress.

Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other cities wanted
these stockings. Hut New York gets them gets them all.
The maker's slogan is "100 per cent, plus." lie is almost
finicky in his "firsts" rejects everything that shows even
the slightest imperfection. This' gives to his "seconds" a
standard about the highest in the trade. Stores, arc eager
to get them, women are eager to buj them, because they
arc so good.
The storkingi; arc all pure silk (eiecpt the mercerized cotton tops and
soles) not fibre silk; and not "weighted" silk. They arc woven from the
