WILLIAM MAAS
A young prisoner of war in Eng
land. He is the son of Captain Louis
Maas, of the Hamburg-American
liner Prinz Oskar, now in this port.
War-bound in this port, separated from
Ills wife and two children in Hamburg.
Germany, with a fifteen-year-old son, a
prisoner, in England, Captain Louis
Maas, master of the Hamburg-American
liner Prinz Oskar, is frantic with Brief i
and versing on the brink of a completo
nervous breakdown. The vessel Is an
chored in the Uelnwnro l'.lver oft the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. She has been
there since eaily In August and dale not
leave this porf fur fur tlint he will be
captured by a British cruiser lurking
off the Atlantic coast.
The plight of the captain is pitiful. He
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels, wielding n. gllt-covcred pick, and
Director of Wharves, Docks and Fen lea
George W, Norrls, with a slmtlarly coat
ed spade, dug a small hole In the ground
On the western waterfront of the Phila
delphia Navy Yard at 1 o'clock this
afternoon.
The ceremony, simple In Itself, was tre
mendously Impressive In Its possibilities.
It marked the beRlnnluK of tho construc
tion of new shlpwoys, which mean a vast
' industilnl boom to this city in general
and the navy yard in particular.
In the words of Secietary Daniels,
the building of the shlpways and th
construction thereon of the new trans
port already contracted for to cost
tt,."0o.0nn, is the least work to bo done
In the near futute, he prophesied, th"
(instruction over tho small hole In the
erniiml of the greatest dreadnoughts of
the world.
The shlpwas were placed in this city,
accoidlni; to Secretaty Daniels, because
the most skilled laboiers of tho ship
building trades were to be found here
This remnrk of the Secretnry called
forth loud applause from the thousands
of employes of the yard who had as
sembled in their work-begrimed over
alls, with brawny arms and chests
bnred. It made a hit which later
brought forth three rousing cheers for
the Secretary.
In his speech Secietary Daniels paid
Blowing tilbute to Philadelphia, its his
torical asoclatlons, its contributions to
the country's list of heroes. He said he
hoped In the near future an appropriation
would be made to rale the frigate Phila
delphia now llng at the bottom of Tri
poli haibor, and that it would be brought
uack to this city.
I WATCH FLO, WAITING LAUDED.

rending Europe and President Wilson's
policy of "watchful waiting," Mr. Daniels

PRESIDENT REA 59 YEARS OLD
Head of the Pennsylvania Hallroad
Keeps to His Desk,
Steady work Is conducive to longevity
Gamuel Hea, president of tho Pennsyl
vania Hallroad. who Is HO years old to
day, btlleves In this Idea. He was con
gratulated by a number of his official
staff today, but went right on with his
work tho same as any other day In tho
year.
l-'rom the position of ctialnman Mr
Itta rose to his present post. He was
born In HUida)gbuig, Pa.. September
21, lSuS, and entered the employ of the
railroad when he was 16 years old. Fol
lowing' the teslgnation of James McCrca,
?Ir. Km. was elected to the presidency.
"We have found It necessary to en
larg our powder-making plant because
we were being charged 60 cents, n pound
for It. The enlargement of this plant
means that we can manufacture all of
th smokeless powder we need.
"When I entered office I found an
archaic system of bookkeeping that made
the building of ships in navy yards an
Impossibility because the figures pro
duced by the system showed such an
overwhelming difference between tho cost
of building them in our navy yards as
compared with private yards The over
head chatges were as high as Dl per cent,
in some cases. I have kicked this system
out, and today, when estimating upon
the construction of a battUship. the cost
of m:tEtenanco of the yards, whether the
ship is built or not, are not Included as
of old This system of bookkeeping is
fair to all. Including owners of pnvnte
shipyards When I determined to build
dreadnoughts in Government yards I de
cided to build them In places where the
best skilled labor was obtainable This
accounts for the shlpways here at this
ard."
NORTHS PLEADS FOB BIO NAVY.
Director Norrls was the first speaker
Introduced by Captain Benson, com
mandant of the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
After sketching the history of the navy
ard and describing how tho city gave
the ground upon which it stood to the
Government, he pointed out the wonder
ful possibilities of tills fresh water sta
tion and concluded with a plea for a
greater navy to police the seas as n
powerful nation like ours should police It
In case of necessity.
Secretary Daniels arrived at North
Philadelphia station shortly before noon.
Congressman J Washington Logue met
him and accompanied him to the navy
yard in an automobile. As Secretary
Daniels stepped from the automobile the
first of the iO-gun salute was tired by
ships lying In the reserve basin. The
marine hand xe.-uted a fanfare and a
body guard of marines came to atten
tion. The officials were taken to the site
of the new shlpways, 4GQ feet west of
the large drydock A temporary stand
was erected udjoining the spot selected
lor tne ground breaking ceremonies
Entering the stand the official party
faced an army of workmen and visitors.
The shlpways will cost about pjO.000
It will be 5S0 feet in length and 1M
fet In width. It can be extended to
greater lengths and widths without
much additional expense.
Transport No. 1, to be constructed on
the new ways, will cost about 51 .5CO.0ti0.
It will be 483 fmt in length, 60 feet
Inches beam. 19 feet 10 Inches draft, wrth
a displacement of 10.000 tons and a speed
of II knots. She will be fitted with
twin screw oil burning engines Ac
commodations will b- provided for a
crew of 210, 29 soldiers and 32 horses,
with the necessary supplies for these
forces.
The first vessel to ba constructed at tho
yard upon the completion of the ways
will be the naval transport Maumce,
which will cost $1,500,000. The contract
for the transport was awarded early In
the spring following competitive bidding
by nil tho naval constructors of tho va
tlous navy yards.
Hundreds of workmen will be given em
ployment on the shlpways nnd the trans
port. They will augment the vast army
already employed at the yard.
Philadelphia's Congressmen, Logue,
Vnre and Donolioc, were greatlv pleased
nt the start of the shlpwnys. This Is the
reward for their strenuous fight In Con
gress. A bitter battte in opposition to
the shlpways was fought by the Con
gressmen from Vliglnla. They succeeded
In having the $200,000 appropriation for
It stricken from the naval appropriation
bill, only to be reinserted by action of the
Representatives from this city.
Secretary Daniels ni lived on the train
which reached Broad Stieet Station at

SEGAL TAKEN FROM
ST, JOSEPH'S IN AUTO;
DEPARTURE SECRET
Hospital Attendants Deny
Knowledge of His Desti
nation Norristown
Professes 'Ignorance.
Adnlph Scsnl left St. Joseph's Hospital
at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon In nn auto
mobile, according to Sister Agnes, the
nsslstant superintendent. No word was
left with hospital olllclals as- to his des
tination and at tho State Hospital for the
Insane nt NoVrlstown Dr. Miller, tho chief
resident physician, declared that he had
not arrived late this afternoon. Ho de
clined to give nny definite Information as
to when Mr. Segal was expected to icaeh
the asylum,
Every effort was made to keep secret
tho departure of the former financier, who
has been pronounced hopelessly Insane
by two physicians and for whom com
mitment papers to the State Hospital
were made out last week by Magistrate
Joseph Call on application of Hell Segal,
the son, and Mrs. Segal. Adolph Segal
was tnken from St. Joseph's Hospital by
the rear entrance. A powerful automo
bile was waiting and In this he was
whisked nway.
A i'glit by creditors ngaltnt the com
mitment was Indicated today In state
ments by the trustees In bankruptcy and
his attorney. Segal's attorneys, nccord
Ing to these, men, will be called to furnish
proof of the one tlmo financier's Insanity
at a meeting ot creditors to bo held next
Thuisday afternoon In the Drexel
Building.
AVnlter T. Douglass, the trustco in
bankruptcy, declared today that he be
lieves Mr. Segal has some money. Henry
M. AVessels, attorney for the trustco,
said that he has his own opinion, but
will say nothing until the investigation
now under way goes farther. He de
clares his belief that If there are any
unscheduled assets they will be hard to
find.
Segal swore In bankruptcy court last
July that his assets were 73 cents, al
though his llnblltlics were close to $3,
000.000. Since that time the truslce has
been Investigating to determine it any
thing has been forgotten or concealed.
Segal is still in St. Joseph's Hospital.
Just when he will be tnken to tho State
Hospital for the Insane, at Norristown
has not been divulged. At St. Joseph's It
Is believed that the trip will bo made to
morrow. The delay Is believed to be due
to the Jewcish feast days, as Jacob Lift
man, who has been acting for Berl Segal,
is not in his office today.
"The fnct that a magistrate has com
mitted Mr. Segal does not tnke him
out of the jurisdiction of the Federal
Court " said Mr. AVeSfcls today. "It
will bo necessaiy for Segal's attorneys
to 3how at tho creditors' meeting
Thuisday why he was sent to Norris
town, If he has been sent by that time,
and to furnish proof of his Insanity."
Two physicians cei tided to the In
sanity of Mr. Segal as tho preliminary
step to his Incarcciatlon at Norristown.
and they probably will be called to the
ciedltors' meeting in the ofilce of
Joseph Mellors, the referee In bank
luptcy. AVhen Mr. AVessels wns asked today
I If he believed Segal has any assets out
side of the 73 cents scheduled, he said:
1 "I have my own opinion as to that, but
I cannot sny until the Investigation goes
farther. If there aro any assets they
probably will be hard to find."
A similar statement was made by Mr.
Douglass. He said:
"Though we feel that Mr. Segal has
some money, the creditors are tired ot
putting up funds on such a slight chanco
of recovery. I think It will be up to
Segal's attorneys to prove that he is
insane at tho meeting Thursday."

Tropouskl died on Thursday after an
lllncsr of two days. The blow fell suj.
denly and for almost 24 hours the dead
man's wife went about the four-room
home too dnzed to reallzo tho truth. Thi

She knew, too, tlint Julian had not

raised a fund of $33. The money came

from worn leather pocketbooks. It rep-,
resented the fruits of toll and misery, but
It meant a decent burial for Julian
Tropouskl.
Tho funeral wan a small one. Thou
