Appeal to Supreme Court Would
Delay Decision at Least a

The Stae Departmfnt expects post
ponement until nfter tho war of flnal
decision In tho Appam ease, which was
decided In favor of tho British owners
and agnlnst the Gvrman prize crew by
the Federal court nt Norfolk yesterday.
It la behoved certain the enso will be
ttken to tho Supreme "'Court of tit
United States by the Gentian govern
ment In the normal courso of p-venta
a .decision would not be reached for a
year, and It la not expected tho court
will advance a case the settlement of
which during tho war might cause
diplomatic embarrassment.
The Immediate question brought be
fore the Btato Department to decide la
what disposition to make of the Ap
pmBcrow. The court's decision tak
ing the vessel away from tho prise
eraw leaves the German sailors tn
much the same situation aa the crews

The State Department has'no voice in
the disposition or me vessel or cargo,

An appal to tho Supremo Court will
1 be tho next step In the case of the cap

Jilted When He
Joined Militia
Soldier's Sweetheart Tore Up En
listment Papers, In Effort To
Keep Him Out of Guard.
LOS ANGELES, July 30. When
George Edmund Elwell, of Company E,
Banta Monica, waa given' his choice
between going to the front and losing
his sweetheart, or staying at home and
having her, he chose the former, and
ah will never love him again.
It was Miss Alma Earnest, of Ocean
Park, who gave Elwell his choice. She
had tried to discourage him when he
Joined the mllltla.
She even went so far as to tear up
his enlistment papers when he met her
while on his way to the examining phy
sician to get his medical certificate.
Elwell tried In vain to convince Miss
Earnest that his country needed him,
but she In turn tried to make it clear
to him that his country could get other
men. but she did not believe that she
could find one to take his place in her
affections.
Elwell refused to consider the torn
papers aa his discharge from the com
pany In which he had Just enlisted and
appealed to Captain Simon. He detailed
guard to accompany Elwell with a
new aet of papers which were signed by
the medical examiner with the company
awaiting orders to go to the front

- "Protests were received at the war

permitting soldiers from the heart of
the Infantile paralysis district to come
Into a community with a large number
of children. I took the matter up with
General Scott, chief of staff, and he
agreed with mo that under the circum

The precautionary move by the war

that there might be Infantile paralysis

jOri this' Island beside the six cars nientiohecl were ,100 others, all
loaded' with shrapnel and shells. .
Also, on the island were 400 workmen and the fate of many is
in doubt. . .
It was about .2: tS this morning when the first volcanic explosion
terrified '-the city. 1 This-plosion was followed at1 interval's by others
and even' at 9 this morning the fires started by the upheaval were burn
ing fiercely. '
Owing to severance of wires it was some time before the source ,
of the trouble;could,be definitely located.
When it was every available ambulance in New York City was
rushed across the river to the assistance of the Jersey, hospitals.
New York doctors' worked r-alnong .Vessels on which scores of
women 'and chijden, cut or burned, were huddled in prayer.
STREAMS OF WATER LIKE MERE DROPS.
The fireboat New York sped to the scene and poured streams into
the furnace, bufthe great streams seemed like mere drops.
Col. M. E. Horton, Col. Donaldson, and Major C. F. Hartman
were seiit by General Wobd with a" detail of soldiers to Jersey City
on a launch. .
With shrapnel bursting over them, the fire before" them, and ex
plosions every few seconds, the army officers hesitated sometime be
fore landing. .
Finally they went to the city hall and offered Mayor Fagan their
services.
The freaks of the explosion were many and covered'a wide terri
tory. , '
In Jersey City the cityjiall was damaged to the extent of $20,000.
The entire first floor, of tile buckled up and in the assembly room gir
ders were thrown down and columns fell.
NOT A WINDOW REMAINS IN BUILDING.
In the main building of the City Hospital not a window remained.
The maternity ward, in one wing, was the only portion of the hospital
which escaped without serious damage.
The New Jersey telephone service was disrupted. There was no
service at all.
The Jersey City public library was badly wrecked.
Doors tightly locked were blown open and the frame work thrown
out of plumb. Locks were ripped out entire through the splintered
v
door jambs. Thousands of-clocks were stopped on the minute of the
first explosion, 2:15. ' '
The water pipe line to Bedloe's Island was put out of commission.
In New York every pane in the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. to
Waji Street was smashed. No damage was done the stock exchange,
but almost every other building in that district suffered heavily in shat- '
tered windows and lost signs.
A number of windows were broken at the New Yorjc Public Li-
, brary, Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. Along Fifth avenue
gowns in fashionable shops were flung to the street through shattered
.windows. Sixth avenue, Forty-second street, and other business
thoroughfares were littered with glass and splintered signboards.
REAL SHELLS FALL OUT OF THE SKIES.
One of the remarkable oddities of the catastrophe was the drop
ping of shells from the skies. The army men on Governors Island
got a taste of real warfare as these missiles came thudding from-,the
skies.
The Richmond Lunchroom, at South Ferry, was wrecked and the
walls of the lunchroom were shattered and three men cut severely.
They were removed to Volunteer Hospital.
The traffic in high explosives in the Greenville section of Jer
sey City has been the cause of bitter protest by the residents of that
section for months. In response to their complaints the railroads and
munitions plants doubled their number of guards.
Not satisfied, the Greenville people continued to object so strong
ly that James Connolly, Jersey City inspector of combustibles, was-in-duced
to make a complete investigation of the situation.
His report upheld the protestants, and the guards again were in
creased and further precautions were taken.
STRIKING DESCRIPTION OF THE SCENE.
A striking description of the scene in the bay is given by Capt.
James Maher, of the tug Britannia. He was returning from Yonkers
and was just north of Ellis Island when he saw a stupendous burst of
flame.
"My tug swayed and rocked," said he, "and almost at once the
air was filled with bits of boxes, scraps of iron, and all serfs of debris,
some red-hot, which fell on all sides of us.
"Fearing for those on Ellis Island, I ran full speed for the station
there. As I raced one explosion after another hurled thousands of
shells into the bay and filled it with a stream of lights.
"As we neared the island, we ran through a regular storm of de
scending wreckage. Afterward I learned the shock did $ 1,000,000
damage to the immigration station there."

When the statue first arrived M.
Hlrsch said that he would consider an
offer of 1100.000, but after hearing the
enthusiastic opinions given by the best
experts he raised his price to JMo.OOO,
Which was considered a fair price, and
one that many dealers In Paris, at least
six. would have been ready to pay In

War came and buyers disappeared.
M. Hlrsch also disappeared, and his
house, with It contents of works of
