KRAMER BACK IN
HIS NATIVE LID
The Yankee Champion Never
Looked Better, Despite Stren
uous European Campaign.
Frank L. Kramer, the American
cycle champion, Is home again. The
king of the wheel who swept every
thing before him on the tracks of
Europe for the past two and a half
months arrived on the Mauretania,
which docked in New York at 7:45
this morning. The liner reached
Quarantine at 8 o’clock last night.
Kramer was met by Mathew
O’Brien. Harry F. Beldon and Ed
win Koenig, of the Kramer testi
monial dinner committee, and Frank
Mihlon and Floyd MacFarland, of
the Cycle Racing Association, about
two miles beyond Governor’s Island,
the boarding party having gone down
the harbor on a revenue cutter.
Overjoyed to Get Home.
The champion was overjoyed to
get home again and he never looked
better in his life. He showed no signs
of the strenuous campaign on the
tracks of Europe and looked fit to
ride the race of his life. He was very
anxious to know how Walter Rutt
was riding, and asked many ques
tions concerning the performances of
the world’s champion here. When
Manager MacFarland Informed
Kramer that he was hilled to meet
Rutt in a match race a week from
Sunday the Yankee title holder de
murred and said that he positively
would not meet Rutt In a match un
til he knew just what form he was j
In himself.
you will know before Sunday now
you are riding, won't you, Frank?"
inquired MacFarland. "No," replied
Kramer, “I can’t get a line on my
self before next Wednesday, for I
have got to get rid of my sealegs first
ami that will take several days.”
Regarding his European trip the
rhnmpion was most enthusiastic and
said that lie never rode in better
form in his career. "I never rode
better in my life,” said Kramer, "and
in every race which I won I had little
trc uble in winning. The only rider
who pressed me hard was Polledri,
the Italian,'* continued Kramer, "and
I defeated him in my semi-final of
the Grand Prize of Easter In Paris
the last race in which I competed.
The Italian showed great speed and
if lie had been in any other heat he
Iiuld surely have made the final, and
the final he would have finished
cond without a doubt.
'My. best ride was in a match
ainst a tendem team, Van Bever
d Otto, at Brussels. In that race
rode around them in the home
•etch and finished a length and a
if in front and rode the last lap
13 3-5 seconds, which is very fast,
on Hourlier, the French champion,
s not been in form since the Paris
six-day race and I defeated him
easily. Friol was riding well but he
seemed to be afraid of me and did not
l offer great resistance.”
Expects to Win American Title Again. |
Speaking of his prospects here, the
champion said that unless he went
off form he expected to annex the
American championship again. “I
have taken it easy for the past
month and did little training, in order
to save myself for the season here.”
It is extremely doubtful if Kramer
will go abroad next year, and he
stated that he probably would never
consider another campaign in Europe.
He has a contract, however, which
hi can execute if he desires.
Kramer had much to say about Bill
Bailey, the former amateur cham
pion, who finished second in the
Grand Prize of Easter, The English
man is a very good rider and is going
to rank with the best riders of
Europe this year, said the "champer."
"but he has not acquired what I call
a finished sprint. It was his great
strength more than his speed that
von the first race in which he rode
as a professional and brought him In
second in the Easter prize. A little
more finish and Bailey will be a
mighty hard man to beat,” said Kra
mer.
Jack Neville, the champion’s faith
ful trainer, did not come on the
Mauretania. At the time of sailing
live new racing wheels, which were
built in Paris for Kramer, were not
completed and Neville remained be
hind to bring the wheels with him.
The trainer is due tomorrow on La
Provence.
•incut at Captain’** Table.
Kramer sat at the captain’s table
on the Mauretania and was the guest
at a dinner party each evening of
the voyage. Last night he gave a
dinner to a number of friends on the
boat, including Phil Kearny, the
champion skater, and his wife. Kear
ney married Ethel Yerkes, the daugh
ter of the famous railroad builder
who constructed the elevated lines
in Chicago and the tube in London.
The Kearneys ape on their honey
moon. i
Received 803 Cards.
During his stay. In Europe Kramer
received innumerable congratulatory
letters from friends and admirers In
America, but what pleased the cham
pion most was the receipt of 382 post
cards, the majority from people he
did not know. A most unique post
card was In the form of a photograph
of his dog, taken in the doorway of
h:s garage and mounted on a large
card bearing the signature of every
ertip'oye of the East Orange postoffice.
The photo was taken by a carrier
who has delivered Kramer’s mall for
a number of years.
On account of the early arrival of
the Muaretania at her pier, many
friends of the champion, who expect
ed to meet him at 9 o’clock, the hour
scheduled for her docking, were dis
appointed.
Other prominent passengers on the
Mauretania were Robert Goelet, the
New York millionaire clubman; Sir
Max Aitkin. M. P., Rear-Admiral ,
Richardson Clover, U. S. N., and the
Count Ward, G. C. VV.

ANY WAR EXISTS
Declares Actions in Mexico Are
Only in Form of
Reprisal.
WASHINGTON, April 24.—The ad
ministration still maintains that there
! Is not a state of war between the
| United States and Mexico, but hardly
anybody here outside of the oflldal
circles can be found who Is willing to
subscribe to this Interpretation of
present conditions.
It Is obviously the President’s pan
now to force the Initiative upon
Huerta. He does not wish to have
the United States assume the aggres
; sive attitude in the matter of for
mally declaring war, but in the mean
time he is taking every precaution to
meet the situation which is now cer
tain to develop upon a forma: dec
laration from Huerta.
After the Mexican dictator has
taken the initiative in formally de
1 daring war. Congress will be called
upon to act.
•rne extraordinary errorrs wnicn
I the administration Is making to pre
serve this outward appearance of a
peaceful blockade at Vera Cruz was
clearly indicated by this bullet n
given out at the navy department last
night:
"Admiral Iladger has been directed
Et his discretion to allow civil officers
at Vera Cruz that were duly elected
by the people and deposed by Huerta
to resume their civil authority and
permit the Mexican dug to lie dis
played from tho school houses and
public buildings except those in
uctual occupation by the United
Stutes authorities.”
The order that former officials
elected by the people of Mexico and
deposed by Huerta should be restored
to office came as an unexpected de
velopment in the situation.
It was regarded here as an affront
on the part of the administration to
appease a portion of the Mexican peo
ple and to impress upon them the
good Intentions of the United States.
Its was intended also to emphasize
further the administration's ('.inten
tion that this is a fight against Huerta
as an individual and not against the
people of Mexico.
The order for the display of Mexi
can Hags from the school houses and
oth-r public buildings not occupied by
the United States troops has aroused
considerable criticism In Washington.
These new moves in the situation
were generally attributed to Secretary
Bryan.
The President still regards the
steps which the United States has
taken at Vera Cruz as "measures of
reprisal.” He does not admit that a
state of war exists as a result of the
severing of diplomatic relations by
Huerta. As far as the authority
given him by Congress in the joint
resolution goes, he said last night
it was certain that war does not
exist.
War need not necessarily follow
Huerta's handing passports to
Charge O'Shaughnessy, according 10
the President s views. He admitted
that war always is preceded or ac
companied hy the severance of diplo
matic relations and the handing out
of passports, but declared there tad
been frequent cases where these ac
tions had been taken without bring
ing on war.
In denying ft report that Adm'r.il
Mayo at Tampico had ordered all for
eign merchant ships out of the har
bor the President pointed out that
the establishment of a blockade
which exclude the merchant ships of
neutral powers wkould be an act of
war and would have to he preceded
by the serving of notice on all the
powers.
Mr. Wilson looked tired and worn
from the mental strain to which ho
hns been subjected recently. His
nights as well ns his days have been '
interrupted constantly by the neces
sity for new decisions hy him.

with a story about a chin fly.
It seems that once a man was plow

the n.ule lifted Its head, switched its
stump of a tali and wgnt arross the
field at a rapid walk and with most
unusual energy.
Reaching the end of the row,: there
was a man on the fence. When the
mule and man came up the fellow
got down, walked over to the mule
and hit him a slap on the Jaw, at the
same time remarking, "Well, I killed
him that time!”
‘ Killed what?”
"Why, that chin fly."
"Well, you Interfering fool, I wish
you would mind your own business.
That chin fly was the only thing that
made this mule go."—Judge.

of Meadow Reclamation.
__
John W. Dobbins, chief Inspector of i
the Mosquito Extermination Commis
sion, at the monthly dinner of the ]
Chamber of Commerce Inst night, in |
the telephone building, stated that (
Essesx county land wa free from the j
pests. Board of Works Commissioner
Arthur R. Denman was another
speaker. He dwelt on the reclama
tion of the meadow lands. About
seventy-live members attended. •,
Board of Works Commissioner A.
H. Biertuempfel, president of the j
Chamber of Commerce acted as
toastmaster. H. S. Altai, general sec
retary of the organization, also made
a few remarks.
Commissioner Denman spoke on the
reclamation of the meadows lands ;
which would enlarge the commercial i
world of Newark by attracting big
concerns to local sites. He urged one
and all to help the Chamber of Com
merce to secure a larger membership.
Mr. Dobbins stated that Essex coun
ty was the most active county in the
extermination of mosquitoes.
"If you have any mosquitoes this
year," said Mr. Dobbins, "then you
can rest assured thai they are visit
ors and not bred In this county. We ;
have already drained about 4,000 acres ;
of land.”
Mr. Dobbins stated that the work '
being conducted to rid the county of
the pests would not be altogether ef
fective if the surrounding counties do
not do their share of the work.
Colonel Lewis T. Bryant, State
labor commissioner, was scheduled to
speak, but wired that he could not 1
attend owing to pressure of business. j

About three miles from Vera Cruz j
a section of track nearly a mile long
was found torn up. At this point the ;
refugees walked, carrying their bag- ,
gage to a train on the Vera Cruz end
of the break, which the British, co- ;
operating with the Americans, had i
Rent out to meet the train from j
Mexico City. A detachment of Brit
ish marines, unarmed, acled as escore
to the refugees on this last stage of
their journey to Vera Cruz. !
Tell of Mob lleuionNtrutlons.
From tile refugees it was learned
that on Wednesday there was a
repetition of street demonstrations by
mobs, such as had also occurred
earlier In the week. In Cinco de Mayo U
avenue, one of the principal streets, |
an American flag was thrown to the ||
ground in front of a procession and
tampled over by Ihe demonstrators.
It was then dragged out and the per- !
formanee repeated. Later It was torn ,
to shreds amid the yells of the crowd ;
and hand-clappings from spectators ■
In windows and balconies.
A small gathering of Mexicans at \
the American embassy corner Tues- i
day night listened to speeches from 1
street orators. The crowd, however, 1
was orderlly, probably because a i
heavy guard of police was on duty
there.
