No Ceremonies Over Transfer
A letter describing; the last moments on
bord tho Lusitanla after tho giant liner
had received her death blow from a Ger
man torpedo, was received today from
Mrs. Jessie Tnft Smith, of Philadelphia
and Chicago, a survivor of the disaster,
by Mrs A. T. Pollanl, of 3 South 16th
street, wife of tho proprietor of ft chain
of drug stores.
Mrs Smith, who sat at the same table
with Harry J. Keser, vleo president of tho
Philadelphia National Bank, and Mrs.
Keser, writes that Mr. and Mrs. Keser
disappeared Immediately after tho ship
was struck and she thinks they wrnt to
tho Ill-fated B-deck of tho liner, whero su
many passengers wero caught In a death
trap when the nhlp listed. Sho saw also
William 8. Hodges, Parlt representative
of tho Baldwin Locomoilvo Works, nnd
Mrs. Hodges, of 2026 West Lehigh avenue,
who also were drowned. Sho searched
tho Queenstown morgue for their bodies
Mrs. Smith, whose husband h an In
ventor, was going to England to Join him.
Bho escaped In tho second boat to be low
ered, nnd wrltPR that the llfebonts would
have proved efficient If thtre hd been
sufficient time.
Tho portion of the letter describing the
disaster reads:
My Dear Ellatbetht
I suppose you will be Quito surprised
to hear from me. Well, I landed here,
and I certainly was fortunate. But
the nhock has been almost too much
for me. I have not fell like myself at
all. Bvery one has been so kind and
done so much for me. Am Just frown
all the lime.
We are quite anxious to know what
the States will do about tho Lusltanla.
Those Germans wilt do anything. If
they should win there would not be
any states long.
The boats would have been quite
right If there had been any time to
have gotten Into them. I was fortu
nate to get Into tho first boat, but the
second to bo lowered. Ton know you
can t oo very mucn in IB to ro min
utes. 1 sat at tho captain's table and
on my left wero Mr. and Mrs. Keser,
of Philadelphia. I liked them so much.
I saw them right after the boat was
struck. They wero all ready to go
on deck and were on A-deck, but I
have thought that they must have
gono on B-dcck nnd were caught. I
also met Mr. and Mrs. Hodges, and
tho last 1 saw of them they were go
ing to their stateroom on A-dock.
Went through tho morgue to see if I
could find them, ns I knew their
friends would bo anxious nbotit thorn,

STRIKE-BREAKERS WANT PAY
Inslalcnt Demands, Threatening Riot,
Bring Cnll for Police.
An echo of the Chicago transit strike re
sounded In this city today when several
hundred men, strikebreakers engaged to
lake positions on Chicago trolley cars,
clamored for the money they allege was
promised them by George Tate, a private
detective, In charge of an agency at S3
North 16th Btrcct.
So Insistent became the demands that
Tate telephoned to Lieutenant Kunkle, of
tho 15th and Vine streets station, and a
detail of policemen was sent to prevent
a riot.
A hundred men were sent to Chicago
three days ago. At a small station a few
hundred miles east of Chicago the agent
In charge received a telegram, saying
that the strike had been settled peaceably
and ordering the men sent back. They
returned today, asserting that they had
been promised a week's wages.
After tho policemen arrived tho men
held a meeting In the street and ap
pointed J. committee to consult with
Magistrate Carson to bring a civil suit to
secure tho money.

Shacks Built by Rolling Chair
Owner at Chelsea Obstructs
Outlook From Cottage.
ATLANTIC CtTT, June 17,-Many po
litical fights In which Congressman Wil
liam S. Vara has been Involved In his
political career aro tame affairs when
compared with that the South Phlladel
phlan has on his hands here,
Several months after Congressman Vnro
had been occupying his handsome Chel
sea home, with Its broad, unobstructed
sea outlook, J. R. Turner, an Atlantic
City man, bought, tinder a riparian lease,
all the land seaward from the Vote tot
tage line, which Is about 100 feet back
from the boardwalk. This lease was ob
tained at Trenton for n nominal consider
ation.
Congressman Varo was perturbed, and
he had reason to be, for In a short time
Archibald Lambert, a rolling-chair pro
prietor, began the erection of a small,
roughly boarded cabin, facing the board
walk, directly In tho Varo line of vision.
Congressman Varo Invoked tho old of the
powers. Lambert at first was refused
permission to connect hip shabby little
cabin with the boardwalk, but the city
found It could not go so far and withdraw
its objections. Then the cabin was In
habited by negro rolling-chair pushers.
Turner's next movo was to start to
bulkhead his leased land, a part of which
those who laid out Chelsea Beach Intend
ed to re preserved solely ife Dftrtslag pnt
pee City Commissioners, one nier
rushing- to th Varo relief, rderod lh
ttmoval of us touch of ih bulkhetd
w In the publlo street line. Totaef
lawyers took out a certiorari ami hl
right to build a. bulkhead in tho strest
was argued beforo tho Supremo Court In
February. An opinion Is expected aeon.
Meantime storm tides have) destroyed the
bulkhead.
Turner's resources had not bwn X
hausted, however. His next move was to
build a larger shade right on the Vare
property line, completely blocking the
view from the Congressman's broad
platzo. Then he proceeded to put up a.
fence, running over to Kingston arenas
and also cutting off the sea. view of the
A. Itetchner cottage, which adjoins that
of Vare.
When he feels that he must look upon
the ocean, Congressman Vare can go up
stairs and gate from a bedroom window
over the root of the 'unsightly shack, or
ho can go down Into the street and look
his fill.
The situation, however, does not pleafle
him. He has retained Charles C. Bab-
cock, of this city, nnd ox-Judge Lewis
Starr, of Camden, to fight the case. The
move to be taken has not been divulged.
Suppose
The man whose daughter
was your good friend was
implicated in the murder
of your father!

?o ceremonies will mark tho nrrlvnl of
Caotnln John J. Knnnn. tho new com
mandant of tho Philadelphia Navy Yard,

weather.
On roachlng tho yard tho command
will bo turned over by Acting Command
ant Captain C. B. Price, who will present
tho ofllccrs at tho yard to tho now com
mandant at his office.
Captain Knapp, who succeeds Bear Ad
miral William 8. Benson, Is entirely In
accord with tho latter's policy for tho up
building ofvjho yard, and his appoint
ment to tho post came aB cheering news
to tho officers and men nt Leaguo Island.
Whllo a member of tho Naval Examin
ing Board at Washington, Captain Knapp
had nn opportunity to study tho work
of his predecessor. Admiral Benson, and
It Is understood that ho will proceed with
tho station's development without delay.
Ho Is ono of tho senior ofllccrs of his
grade.

the gamut of his cmotlons-much to tho
disapproval of his wife Virginia.
They wero peacefully poring over their
dinner when nn argument arose over the

might bo a little browner, while Virginia
declared that It was just In keeping with
