SHIPYARD TRUANTS
CONTINUE JUBILEE
.Misinterpret 8 o'clock Wilis
tic, Seize Ferryboats mid
rnrndc Manhattan.
CITY TIRED BUT HAPPY
Sheepish Feeling Modified by
Knowledge That Thorough
Job'Wns Done.
In the many shipyards that slope from
tho harbor of New York the usual 8
o'clock whistle blew yesterday morning.
It meant: "Celebration's over; back to
Tvrrk." nut Instantly tugboats all over
the harbor started tooting, and puch wns
the temper of the time that the ship
workers, Interpreting th6 new tumult as
confirmation of the peace news, turned
from the yards and streaming to New
York resumed Thursday's Jubilation.
It' a shame to have to count the cost
of patriotism gone askew, but tho reac
tion on Industry was serious. No matter
when the war ends every minute Is
precious In the shipyards. At least 25,
000 men were nhsent from the yards of
the New York district yesterday. It Is
wife to say they will return this morn
ing, 'for this fa payday, but It is doubtful
If much work can be done before Mon
At J". Therefore, counting the half holi
day Thursday, two full days -will have
been lost In a war and pcaco Industry
of the first Importance.
Commandeer Tito Boats,
Eight thousand men quit tho yards of
the Standard Shipbuilding Corporation
on 8hootcr's Island when the whistles
rounded. In vain foremen and officers
of the corporation shouted that the war
ivai still on. Voices shattered by the
trials of Thursday Joined In curious noise
raid to be the singing of, "Tho Star
Ppangled Banner." After parading
through the yards, 3,000 of the hysteri
cal crew grabbed two of the company's
ferryboats, and with monkey wrenches
tied to the whistle cords steamed to the
Battery.
Similar truancy disrupted the forces
of the Staten Island Shipping Company,
the Morse, Robins, Tiebout, Crane,
Vnlted Basin, Thorsen and Shewan yards
Jn South Brooklyn, and. the Submarine
lloat Corporation In Newark. Here and
hero groups were enticed back to work
iy the pleas of the bosses, but the ma
jority were too busy parading to listen
tn the still, small voice of truth. The
burden of their song was: "No work
to-day ; we arc burying the Kaiser."
The celebrants from Shooters Island
had sprouted all manner of banners
when they poured ashore at the Battery.
'We helped to lick the Kaiser with the
ehlps we built," "We are too happy to
vork," "If the Kaiser wants peace let
him first say Uncle" and "We're here
because we're here" were some of the
slogans. They nlso had great pictures
of some of tho ships they had launched.
rVo Speech From Mayor.
From the Battery some rode In trucks,
others marched. Lower Broadway sa
luted with what was left of the world's
mpply of paper and ticker tape. In
City Hall Park the shipyard runaways
thouted for tho Mayor, and moved on
happily when, a policeman told them Ills
Jtonor -was submerged In a meeting of
iV.j Boar of Estimate. They and their
bands fcreamed up Broadway to
Twenty-third street and up Fifth ave
nue. From time to time men from other
yards Joined them, until at Fifty-ninth
street the procession was 8,000 strong.
There they disbanded, or rather split
Into scores of small parade whone
termini In many cases lay behind swing
ing doors.
In Brooklyn the shipbuilders roared In
front of Borough Hall until Borough
Tresldent Rlegelmann, finding an an
rouncement that the armistice was not
et signed was only booed, adroitly
added :
"We In America know that the war
Is over. This Is a day for Americans to
lie proud." That was the stuff. If Mr.
I'iegelmann had only said the word the
paraders would have elected him presi
dent of their International union on the
spot.
Newark Joins the Parade.
In Newark several thousand of the
Submarine Boat Company's men, bang
ing on sheets of tin and Iron bars,
moved on the City Hall, where city offi
cers trying to rise to the occasion were
unahle to make themselves heard. The
rest of the city forgot It was sore over
having been buncoed Thursday, and be
fore long It was parading with the sub
marine artlsanB.
One of the few yards that kept Its
force Intact was the Downey Shipbuild
ing Corporation. Mariners Harbor, Staten
Island. J. Wlnslow, general superintend
ent, called the men together Thursday,
nsked them If they were going to delay
the Government's programme on the
strength of an unofficial report and
promised to notify them the moment
peace was officially declared. So the 1,500
men stayed on the Job Thursday and
were not led away by the revival chorus
yesterday morning.
By dawn yesterday the Street Clean
ing Department had cleared away most
of tho paper that carpeted tho cltv
streets Thursday, That tidying up cost
me cuy su.uuu, commissioner McStay
estimated. He said also that when all
t lie scraps were gathered they 'weighed
Ht least ICS tons. Not long ago Junkmen
were paying 30 cents a hundred pounds
for waste paper, which Is remanufac
tured In the mills, but the city will get
r.o revenue from all this treasure trove.
Contractors who trim the scows get It.
The paper drifts have been carted
nway, hut festooned among the bare
limbs of park trees or swaying drearily
along the sides of buildings long strings
of ticker tape remain as a reminder of
the most spectacular storm the city has
ever seen.
Tired, bat Not Sorry.
Most of New York went sneeplshly
back to work In the morning, with here
and there a defection due frankly to
headache. Eveything considered, tho city
felt that It had rather made a fool of It-
i elf, but was not especially penitent.
The question as to how so many sailors
una soldiers procured Intoxicants ab
Korbed the attention of United States
Marshal McCarthy. There Is no ques
tioning the fact, Kven yesterday morn
ing a great many men In uniform, the
majority or them sailors or lads from
training statlonn,were In no condition to
jeport for duty. In many Instances
liquor was handed to them by civilians,
who argued that as peace had come the
law which makes It a crime for any one
to sell or give strong drink to men In
the service of the United States was sus
pended, In other Instances, the Marshal
Usard, the liquor was sold over the bars
or served "on the house." The army and
naval Intelligence bureaus are investi
gating with the Marshal.
At 1 :30 yesterday morning twenty-five
hilarious sailors and marines made off
with a float representing the sinking of
the I.usltanlu, used by the police in Lib
erty Uan campaigns. From Thirty,
reventh street and Seventh avenue these
feamps, all In uniform and apparently
Inspired Internally, drarired the flout
(.bout until In Forty-tccond street they
found an automobile to tow It. Setting
flro to the float, they swarmed aboard the
automobile and hauled their blazing
prise from Ktghth avenue over to Broad
way and up to the Winter Garden, In
front of which the sailors and marines
performed n war dance around tho fiery
llont. There Cspt, McKlnncy and a squad
from the West Forty-seventh street po
lice station charged through the mob.
The float, still flaming furiously, was
towed Into Fiftieth street and tho fire
extinguished.
700 MILE NON-STOP
FLIGHT TO YONKERS
Army Airmen Fly From Mt.
Clemens, Mich., in 1 Honrs
50 Minutes.
Claim to a new' airplane record was
advanced yesterday by Major M. J. Boote
and Lieut. Elmer .1. Spencer. United
Staten Army aviators, who on Thursday
completed a non-stop flight from Mount
Clemens, illch., to Yonkers, In 4 hours
and 50 minutes. .
The officers, flying a two seated Havl-
land airplane equipped with a 400 horse
power Liberty motor, ntcended at Self-
rldgo Field near Mount Clemens at
11:40 Thursday morning. Until they
were In the nlr they had no notion of
attempting a long Journey, but shortly
after their ascent finding weather con
ditions ideal and their motor running
perfectly they decided to attempt to
reach Mlncola without coming down.
Their Furl Hun Low.
Flying east by nmih. until they were
over Ottawa they then hauled their
course and proceeded In a general
southerly direction, flying across the
Adirondack region and down the Hudson
Valley as far as Yonkers. They were
obliged to land at Yonkers because their
supply of fuel was running low. Their
landing -was made at 4 :30 In the af
ternoon and ended a flight which they
estimate to have been not quite 700
mllea In length.
They landed In a field on Seminary
avenue In Yonkers owned by Gideon H.
Peck, whose house, close by, wns- fljled
with guests helping him celebrate his
seventy-fifth birthday and Thursday's
premature peace report. The aviators
were literally dragged Into the house by
the enthusiastic merrymakers, who tried
to Induce them to Join the party and ac
cept the hospitality of the house over
night. Major Boote, however, started for
Mineola hy train Inside of an hour.
Yesterday morning Lieut. Spencer
started for Mineola In the airplane.
When it wasyonly twenty feet from the
ground It went foul of a tree top and
was partially wrecked. Lieut. Spencer
escaped unhurt. Iater he flew the plane
on to Hazlehurst field.
Capt. d'Annamlo'i Ilccord.
The flight accomplished by the two
aviators Is expected to beat the record
of Capt. d'Annunzto of the Italian army
after the distance actually covered hai
been checked up. D'Annunzlo In n flight
from the Italian border to Vienna and
hack flew 000 miles without stopping
his engine.
Lieut. Knrico Cantonl of the Italian
army will nttempt Monday a flight from
New lork to Chicago In a plane of tho
type which Capt. d'Annunzio piloted in
his f(lght from the Italian lines over
Vienna several weeks ago. Weather
permitting, the machine will rise from
the Italian flying field at Mineola at
9 o'clock A. M., with the hope" of reach
ing Its destination in six hours.
The flight has been arranged, accord
ing to Italian aviation headquarters
here, to establish a new American dis
tance record. The machine to be used
Is the one in which Sergeant fJlanfcllce
Glno fell to his death at Mineola last
summer.

RETURN OF TROOPS
WILL REQUIRE YEAR
J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., Says
Peace Will Intensify. War
Relief Needs.
The fact that peace Is now apparently
within sight makes no less great the
reed for funds to carry on the war re
lief work of tho seven organizations
banded together in the United War Ser
vice Campaign, said John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and other speakers nt the luncheon
of the Merchants Association in the Ho
tel Astor yesterday.
"Some people are saying that If peace
soon comes there will no longer be need
for this great fund." said Mr Rocke
feller. "No thoughtful person makes
that observation. So long as the war
has continued and does continue the In
spiration Is In the heart of every man In
uniform to keep himself fit -for tho ser
vice. "But when the war Is over and the
many months of waiting must pass be
fore theso men can be transported back
to the homeland, and the further months
that are bound to elapse before the
great army can be demobilized during
alt this long period, which will run well
over a year, the need of these men for
the ministrations of these organizations
will be greater than at nny time Blnce
they entered the service of their country.
I feel confident that this sum will be
raised and more than Is being asked for.
"It seems to me that the significance
of this movement is that here for the
first time the peoples of these three great
religious groups Protestant, Catholics
and Jews are working shoulder to
shoulder for a great, common national
cause, and I believe that you will agree
with me that the benefit of this associa
tion and of this opportunity of coming
to know each other better Is going to be
felt long after the war and that there
will never be the lines of demarcation
bftween these great groups which have
existed In the past nnd wSlch, let us
hope, are being rubbed out and lost sight
of forever."
John D. Mott alro empraslzed the
growing need for funds that will come
after the peace has been declared and'
before the Immense armies have been de
mobilized. He said that It was the opin
ion of all military and naval men he
had talked with that It will take at least
a year to bring back the armies In Eu

EXPLOSION DAMAGES
Property Owners Will Get
93,000,000 for Losses From
Morgan Blow.up.
The Investigation started by a com
mittee from the United States Senate
concerning tho explosion wjilch wrecked
the shell loading plant of the T. A.
Gillespie Company at Morgan, N. J.,
October 4 developed yesterday as a lead
ing fact that the Government will pay
the $3,000,000 of damages that resulted
to property owners from the disaster.
Capt. H. L. Cox, U. S. Army, who testi
fied before the committee, said that all
claims which were to be made by prop
erty owners would be presented to n
commission of which Col. C. H. Fenny
Is chairman.
It was stated that the Government Is
rebuilding the plant and Is caring for
the families of the dependents of the
explosion's victims. The loss on the
plant was stated to be $1. 000.000. The
sessions of the Ordnance Board, which
will determine the amount of damage to
be paid by the Government, will begin
Wednesday, November 13, at 11 A. M..
In the Rarltan Building, 175 Smith street,
Fcrth Amboy.
T A. Gillespie, testifying before the
committee yesterdny, said the greatest
amount of explosive that went off nt the
time of the big explosion was 600.000
pounds of TNT which was contained In
30,000 6 Inch shells. He said that the
property loss did not concern his com
pany, as it was borne by the Govern
ment. Mr. Gillespie said that the chief
loss was In tho plant Itself, which he
declared to be "the best shell loading
plant In the world."
He thought that the explosion might
have been caused by dirt, cnrelesmess or
enemy aliens, but he added that It was
not probable that enemy aliens caused
the explosion. His opinion was that the
city of New York was not In nny danger
from explosions tint might have fol
lowed on tho day after the Initial ex
plosion. Two officers of the New Jersey militia,
Major F I Antersell nnd Capt. Thomas
L. Hanson, testified that the guard at the
plant was not sufficient and that it was
not properly armed. The Investigation
will continue to-day and an Inspection of
New York harbor will be made by the
Senate committee Monday 'or Tuesday.

Some, of the men wore cords showing
that they had won the Croix dc Guerre,
or that their regiment had been cited for

Distinguished Service Medal. One car
was filled with members of the old
Fifteenth, New York's negro regiment,

Financier's Widow in
Her Lifetime.
Announcement tint the will of Mrs.
Russell Ssge bequeaths between $30,000,

with a $10,000,000 donation, for "the
Improvement of social and living condi
tions In the United States."
She was especially fond of the Fmma
Wlllard School at Troy, of which she
was a graduate. In 1907 she gave
$1,100,000 to the school as nn endow
ment and for the building of Russell
Sage Hall, and In 1917 added a $250,000
gift. She gave $130,000 to Vassar Col

GETS 1 TO 3 YEARS
Says Wife No. 2 Will Live in
His Home in Corona.
Alexander Dujat, former County Clerk
of queens and political lender of thai
county, was sentenced yesterday by Jus
tice Cropsey In the Queens County Su
preme Court to not less than one year
or more than three years In Sing Sing
for bigamy. Neither of the women he
married was In court, but he said that
wife No. 2, Mrs. Edna Young Dujat, and
their 4 months old daughter Marcclla,
would contlnuo to live In his home at 9
Railroad avenue. Corona, and that they
would be provided for,
"You violated the confidence nnd
esteem which the peeple of this county
placed In you nnd you nlso deceived n.
good woman, Miss Young," said Justice
Cropsey to Dujat. "You attempted to
deceive the court and Jury by testimony
from the mouth of witnesses about a
common law marriage that you person
ally knew never existed. I nm glad that
you did not add to your other perjury
In this case by going on the stand jour-
self."
Justlco Cropsey then told Dujat that
he could send him to the penitentiary
for three years, but If he sent him to
Sing Sing under an Indeterminate sen
tence Dujat's Imprisonment would be for
a shorter period. After sentence was Im
posed Justice Cropsey gave Dujat n
week to settle up .his affairs before go
ing to prison. It In probable that an ap

Two Thousand Children Arc
Left Without Parents
in City.
Now that the Influenia epidemic again
Is on the wane there were S92 cases re
ported yesterday Dr. Royal S. Copeland,
Health Commissioner, Is renewing his
efforts to get foster parents for orphan
children whose parentn died during the
epidemic.
Publicity has brought help already, he
said yesterday. There have been almost
a hundred applications for adoption, and
the .applicants are now being Investi
gated. Ono well known actor applied to Dr.
Copeland to bo allowed to ndopt three
boys. He and his wife promised to care
for them as If they were their own. The
actor withholds his name to avoid pub
licity, so the boys will never1 know other
than that he Is their father.
No l-lxrcptlons Made,
He nnd his wife pleaded with the doc
tor to be allowed to take the chlaldreli,
but Dr. Copeland. though knowing the
actor's excellent reputation, will follow
the usual method of Investigation.
From a cursory' examination of death
certificates indications nre probably 2.000
children are orphans, maybe 7,000 chil
dren have lost one parent, and maybe
21.000 children need limited help.
Many mothers have applied to Dr.
Copeland to help them get work to sup
port children whoso fathers have died
of Influenza. Every effort in all direc
tions is being made to nllrvlatn the
misery and suffering caused by the epi
demic lr Copeland is particularly
anxious to place all of the parentless
children In good homes, where they will
get chances to develop Into superior citi
zens, and to help those who havo only
one parent.
"If these children arc not assisted im
mediately some of them will starve," he
said. "In many of the homes we have
visited there Is only dry bread, and not
much of that. We mutt find a way to
care for these little nie, Hiid we will. I
Invite suggestions from the public that
has helped us so generously and wonder
fully," he concluded.
SrclilnB After l;nc't.
Physical examinations to detect nny
ill after effectx among the influenza and

Affirming the verdicts of the lower
courts the Appellate Division of the
Supremo Court decided yesterday flint
the National Surety Company has right
fully obtalnod Judgment against the
National City Bank of Brooklyn for
money jvtlil by the latter on checks
forged by Herbert L. Flnn, foimerly .1
clerk In the ofllcc of the City Cham
berlain. Justice Pago In his opinion pointed
out that Flynn during tho years 1913,
1914 and 1915 prepared the payrolls
for Jurors and that he signed fictitious
names fo ohecki aggregating 32,979
durlnir thnt period. These wore cashed
nt various stores and ultimately paid
by tho Brooklyn institution. The' surety
romps ny secured Judgments for eleven of
these payments.
The Appellate Dlxlslon overruled tho
contention of the defendant that the
surety company did not acquire the
same right iik the city to suo when It
paid the lntter. as Flynn'R surety, tho
money obtained on the checks.
