WHALE RAISES ft
TOG THREE FEET
THEN, CAPTAIN SAYS, IT CHASED
THE DEFIANCE OVER A
HALF MILE.
Baltimore, Aug. 6. To have their
vessel lifted three feet out of water and
to be later chased over half a mile by an
eighty-foot whale was the exciting ex
perience of Capt. L. M. Smith and the
crew of the P. Dougherty Company's
seagoing tug defiance. Capt. Smith
ays the incident occurred while the
tug was crusiing between Cape Henry
and False Cap.
"I was lying in my berth at the time
and Mate Jack Reese was at the wheel,"
said Capt. Smith, "when all of a sudden
the bow of the tug rose in the air and
dropped with a plunge and a terrific
roll.
"Mate Reese was trying to steady
the vessel, which was still rolling, and
when he recovered' his voice said that
he had run over a whale. While he
was talking the huge mammal arose
alongside the Defiance' and sent forth
a large stream of water which deluged
the vessel. The whale then started
off making 'circles, as if in distress, and
dived twice. Each time it came to the
surface it spouted water and tossed
its tail into the air.
"The whale turned around and fol
l.wed the tug for at least half a mile.
It then headed toward the beach as if
fatally hurt, but when it got within
about thirty yards of the breakers it
again swerved around, and when Uvt
seen made off in an east-southeasterly
direction."

FORM LEAGUE TO

GERMAN CATHOLIC WOMEN
DON'T WANT THEIR SEX
X TO HAVE THE BALLOT.
Buffalo, Aug. 5. The organization
of a Catholic Women's League that
proposes to counteract the tendencies
of the women's movement, including
the demand for the use of the ballot,
marked yesterday's session of the Ger
ms n Catholic Central Vercin, which
is holding ks convention here.
Branches of the league will be formed
In oil parts of the country it was stated
by Mrs. Joseph Frey, the honorary
feminist.
"The movement," said Mrs. Freyt
"is being promoted by women whose
views are decidedly pagan. If their de
mands were to be realized, the Christian
family would cease to exist."
"While the Catholic Church has made
no pronouncement on the matter of worn
an suffrage," she continued, the
Catholic philosophy of life is opposed
to it. However, we are not centering
our a ctivities in opposition to woman
suffrag e, but rather in a plan for the
future. The present unrest has resulted
in the enfranchisement of woman
in several States. These women
would exert an evil influence by means
of the ballot if a conservative body of
women was not in the field to counter
act their influ(n:e."

OUTCOME OF A BALLjGAME DE
CIDED WHETHER PI CARD
WOULD WED OR NOT.
Chicago; Aug. 5. Paul Picard ,ir.,
bounced in on his parents at the Vir
ginia Hotel Sunday night and intro
duced his wife. His parents were aston
ished. For several years his escapades,
wine suppers and attendance at stage
doors furnished amusement to bis
friends.
Two months ago Picard sr. decided
that his son had had his full fling and
sent him to New York to forget Chicago
and its frivolities.
This is Picard's story:
"A week ago I met a crowd of good
fellows at the Knickerbocker in New
York. We went to see the Giants play
the Pirates. I was introduced to the
prettiest girl I ever saw. She was root
ing for the Pittsburghers, and in fun I
said: 'H the Giants win will you marry
me?" She said 'Yes' and the game went
on. Marquard was pitcmng ana New
York won, 2 to 0. Then we all went to
the College Inn for dinner.
"I ordered wine for a toast and then I
asked them all to drink to my bride-to-
be. The funny part of it was I had to
ask her name, but I was determined
that I was going to marry her.
"SteHa I was calling her 'Peggy'
said it Was all a joke, but I insisted.
She had made a bet and had lost, and
she was too good a fellow to welch.
So next morning we went to the Little
Church Around the Corner and then
Mr. and Mrs. Picard, jr. went back
to the Knickerbocker.
"Papa is all right. He's a brick. Mo
ther is still a little surprized, but she'll
like her new daughter-in-law, all right.
"I have sent word to the bunch that
I'm through, and I'm going to work."
Young Picard recently inherited a
fortune from his grandparents' estate
in France, but it is said to have shrunk
as a result of trips about the country
with various musical comedy companies
NO FEVER F
J
AT LEAST THAT IS THE OPINION
OF WELL KNOWN PHYSI
CIAN OF NORFOLK.
Norfolk. Aug. 5. Dr. Powhatan
Srlienck, health commissioner of N r-
folk, does not agree with those whj are i
nclincd to believe that vaccine used
a preventive of typhoid fever is
responsible for the spread of the dis
ease. "I have personally used typhoid vac
cine in at least one nunarea cases,
said Dr. Schenck yesterday, "and have
never known any ill-effects other
than that some oatients have been af
fected with slight attacks of lassitude
is often the case with persons who
are highly susceptible. Furthermore,
vaccination for typhoid has been suc
cessfully used in at least one hundred
thousand cases in the army anl navy,
and I have never heard of any serious
results therefrom." i
Dr. Schenck also said he did not see
how it could be possible for a person
to whom typhoid vaccine had been ad
ministered to contract the disease from
the vaccine. In preparing the vaccine,
Dr. Schenck explained, the heat gen
erated during the sterilization process
so great as to kill the bacteria. The
baccilli cannot possibly live through
this intense heat, he stated. Persons
vaccinated for typhoid, Dr. . Schenck
said, rarely suffer any more incon
venience than those vaccinated for
smallpox and other contagious diseases,
in a majority of cases not so much, and
the after effects are about the same
Dr. Schenck's defense of vaccination
for typhoid, which is of comparatively
recent origin, was caused by the pub
lication in several Virginia papers yes
terday of an article from Bristol, in
which the statement was made that
several physicians were of the opinion
that vaccine used to prevent typhoid
was responsible for the development
of a number of cases in that city

EVENS UP WITH
EXPRESS PEOPLE
AND REVENGE IS SWEET, SAYS
STATE SENATOR SUNDBERG
OF MINNESOTA.
Minneapolis, Aug. 6. When in
1909 an express company charged
State Senator E. Sundberg of Ken
nedy, Kittson County, Minn., $32 for
carrying a casting worth $2.50 to him
from Minneapolis, the company per
haps laid the foundation of an ex
pense to the combined express com
panies of the country of approxi
mately $26,000,000 a year.
The casting was ordered by tele
phone. Sundberg wanted it for his
threshing machine in a hurry. When
it arrived, the express charges made
him mad clear through and he swore,
he says, that he would have revenge.
Senator Sundberg engaged James
Manahan, now Congressman-at-I.arge
from Minnesota to bring action before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The case was le.jun in Minneapolis
and in the following year was carried
to New York.
Two days before the case was
called the Minnesota statesman and
his counsel went to New York and
got Commissioner Lane, now a Cab
inet officer, subpoenas for the officials
of the United States, American, Well
Fargo and Adams Express Companies.
They personally served the subpoenas,
and when the case came up the attorney
argued that the express companies
had interlocking directorates and that
their rates were unreasonable.
The commissions decision reducing
the rates was filed July 16, 1912, but
litigation brought on by the companies
prevented the order issued today
from being filed for more than a year.
Senator Sundberg says he is satis
fied, and that revenge is sweet.

HEAVY FOREIGN
TRADE
Year Ending June 30 Banner Year
In Dealings Between U. S.
and Other Countries.
GREATER PART WITH EUROPE
And Of Europe The United Kingdom
Maintains Its Position As
Our Best Customer.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 6. The
detailed figures given out today by
the Department of Commerce show
that the fiscal year ended June 30,
1913, was the banner year in the .trade
of the United States with foreign
countries, the total trade exceeding
$4,275,000,000 and sur-passing the
trade of the fiscal year 1912 by over
$421,000,000. Imports into the United
States in the year exceeded $1,812,000,
000 and exports from this country
exceeded 82,465,000,000, making a
balance of trade in our favor of over
$652,900,000. The imports surpassed
those of the fiscal year 1912 by over
$159,700,000 and the exports were
more than $261,500,000 greater than
those of last year.
Exports of manufactured and partly
manufactured articles in the fiscal year
1913 exceeded $1,500,000,000 in value
and show an increase of more then
$168,000,000 over the preceding year.
A survey of the statement issued by
the Department of Commerce shows
that the greatest gain in our exports
is in manufactures ready for consump
tion, in which class there was an in
crease ot more than 1105,000,000
over 1912. There was also a gain of
over $60,000,000 in manufactures for
further use in manufacturing, but the
increase in foodstuffs partly or wholly
manufactured was only a little over
$1,500,000.
Looking at the figures by grand divi
sions it is seen that the aggregate
trade of tnc United States with Europe
in the fiscal year just ended was over
$2,371,000,000, or more than one
half our total foreign trade. This was
livided into over $892,000,000 worth
of imports and $1,479,000,000 worth
of exports, a balance of trade in our
ivor of m ire than $583,010,0)0.
fhe aggregau trade with the other
countries of North America exceeded
$979,000,000, of which over $361,900,-
000 were imports and over $617,400,000
were exports. The remainder of our
foreign trade, amounting to about
$925,000,000, was divided among Asia,
South America, Oceania and Africa,
in the order named.
The United Kingdom miint.iins its
position as our best customer, having
purchased from us over $597,000,000
and sold us over $295,000,000 in the
year, an aggregate trade of more than
$892,000,000. Our second best customer
is Canada, which bought from us over
$415,000,000 and sold us over $120,000,-
000, a total trade exceeding $535,000,000
Third comes Germany which bought
from us over $331,000,000 and sold
us only a little less than $189,000,000,
an aggregate trade of more than $520,
000,000. France is fourth with pur
chases from us in excess of $146,000,000
and sales to us in excess of $136,000,000
a total trade of over $282,000,000.

Hopes United States Will Tell Japs
A Few Things When Canal
Is Finished.
Baltimore, Aug. 6. The Japanese
question in California is a question
of biology, a problem bigger than that
of races, and one which involves
the future mastery of the Pacific Ocean
and all its coasts and islands, according
to the statement of Theodore A. Bell,
former Congressman from California
and temporary chairman of the Demo
cratic National Convention in this
city last year. He was speaking at
the Tuesday luncheon of the Ro
tary Club at the Hotel Rennert at
noon yesterday.
"Where the Japanese settle, they
stay," he said. "They drive out white
l-ibor and then thev show the owners
f the land that it best to lease the
land to them. When you once lease
the land to them you will soon find
it necessary to sell to them. And when
they have the land they hold on to it.
"Then come their women. And you
know that every Japanese born on the
soil of the United States is a full
fledged citizen and eligible to become
President. But every Japanese, where-
ever born, is a loyal subject of the
Empreor of Japan. To him the Emperor
is divine. Ir is not only honor but Hea
ven itself to die for his Emperor.
You cannot assimilate objects of Buch
a nation.
"But it is a question of Biology. If
the Japanese intermarry with white
Americans at first they will produce
mongrels, but in the end their des
cendants will be Japanese in all es
sentials.
"Japan is ambitions. It has felt its
power. It demands to be recognized as
among the first powers, and to keep Its
position it must plan for the future.
This planning includes the domination
of the Pacific Ocean, including all the
coasts bordering on that sea snd all
the islands in it.
My hope is that when the Canal Is
finished the United States will have
backbone to tackle the problem square
ly and tell Japan exactly how far
it can go.
"I was misquoted when I was rep-
resented as saying that California
will take matters in its own hands
if the national Government does not
act. We arc law abiding in California.
The law passed by our Legislature was
a mistake, and I protested on both
floors of the Legislature against it.
But next year a law depriving the
Japanese of rights not only of owning
land but of leasing it will be presented
by initiative to the Legislature.
"It is a national problem, but it must
be handled quickly and fully. California
must bear the brunt of it, but we
Californians have to force the issue.
We do not want to leave a legacy
of this fateful problem to our children.
