ON APPAM FORMALITY
Decision Does Not Influence
United States' Stand,
Still Pending
Du a Staff Corretpanaent
WASHINGTON, July 26. Tho decision
of the Berlin prize court as to the cargo In
the Appam Is n mero formality and does
not decide tho problem whether the German
raider has tho right to bring Its prize Into
our ports. This question Is still ponding
beforo the prze court of the United States.
The situation ao explained by nn official
of the Stnto Department Is as follows:
"The United States has not yet decided
whether under our treaties a foreign Power
can bring a prize court to our harbors. This
point Is under settlement now. In case w
should decide to 'the contrary Captain Berg
might be ordered to leave with his prize.
However, the decision will not be mado for
many months, and in either event It Is
believed that the Supremo Court of the
United States will be asked to give a final
decision
The decision of the German Prize Court
follows naturally and has no beaVing upon
tho final decision of our courts, unless ne
should determlno that under our treaties
Germany could bring a prize vessel here.
(The Prlzo Court at Berlin yesterday de
cided that the Appam was a "good prize"
t.nd that accordingly the gold on board tho
steamship, amounting to 739,000 marks
(5181,7(10) should be turned over to the
ne'ehstag )

Forty-five Acros of Historic Spot Soon to Be Utilized by
Cramp's for Extension of Great Shipbuilding
Plant on Delaware
Petty's Island In about to become a lead
ing factor In the port of Philadelphia
Forty-five acres of that hlstorlo spot will
soon bo utilized by the William Cramp &
Sons Ship and Engine Building Company
as an extension of their present plant.
Plans filed yesterday In Trenton show that
thero wilt be a bridge erected from tho
Island to Thirty-eighth street, Camden, by
tho Pennsylvania Railroad. Tho Illustra
tion shows how the Island will be developed.
The Island was purchased a few months
ago by the Crew Levlck Oil Company. At
that time they paid $20,000 nrrear taxes
Tho Cramp concern then purchased from
the oil company tho largo section of tho
Island which will bo used as an extension
The consummation of tho deal closes a
half-century-old dream for tho utilization of
the property for commercial purposes. Many
times during that time It was reported, and
as frequently denied, that the Island had
bean acquired by somo largo Philadelphia
Interests. Several sorlous proposals wore
made to turn the Island Into a pleasure
resort.
Petty's Island enters Into the early his
tory of this city. Tho earliest official rec
ords Bhow that tho bland was "patented"
by Thomas Falrman, a personal friend of
William Penn, who wanted the spot so that
he could' live away from the "noise and
bustle of Market street." The Island Is the
last resting placo of the old frigate Alliance,
of tho Continental navy, a ship that took a
valiant part In engagements with the Brit
ish and In the Incidents connected with tho
exploits' of the Bonhomme Richard and the
Scrapie.
Just how noisy Market streot was 250
years ago Is something for tho Imagina
tion to work upon. It Is known that Gov
ernora Palmer and Evans, of Pennsylvania,
lived on Petty'e Island during the summer
Its position opposite the site of the Treaty
Elm gave it In oarly days the title of Treaty
Island, although It was also known as

died in Spain and left him $10,000. Law
yers In Madrid sent him the necessary
papers, letters, etc, but he found out that
there would be considerable legal red tape
to unwind hero before the legacy could be

Ho was out of work, with all this money

What could ho do?
Garcia was asking himself this question
In the neighborhood of Twenfth and Arch
streets when suddenly William Shaw, of
Twelfth and Poplar streets, happened along.
Garcia had never seen Shaw in his life be
fore. Nevertheless he told him his tale of
woe. Could Shaw help him to pay for a
lawyer to get the ten thousand dollars ship

so kind as even to advance $25 to help pay
for the legal fee? Shaw paused to think
It over.
While Shaw was meditating another man
happened along Garela told the stranger
about his trouble too. The stranger sug
gested to Shaw that they both help Shaw
was greatly affected. Ho went homo imme

told Garcia he could give them to tho law

Island at different times. Later It was
deflnitoly known as Petty's Island, because
John Petty bought it In 1750, and as such
It appears upon the earlier maps of Phila
delphia, and vicinity.
Handbills of 1771 advertised a lottery
with a prize of "40 ncres on Pettle's
Island," misspelling the namo. Philadel
phia was at that time lottery mad, and
evon churches resorted to such measures
to raise money. Streets were paved with
profits from lotteries, and It Is snld that the
chimes of hlstorlo Christ Church were paid
for through lottery winnings.
The Island was used as a port for the
Perseverance, ono of the five steamboats
that Fitch, the early shipbuilder, constructed
for uso on the Delaware River before Rob
ert Fulton placed his Clermont on the Hud
son. This statement Is made by early his
torians of Philadelphia, among them West
cott nnd Obcrholtzer. The Persoveranco
wan blown up at her moorings at the Island,
which accident led to the suicide of Fitch
shortly after he left Philadelphia for what
was then known vaguely as tho "West"
Old reoords show that In 1722 a commis
sion was appointed to cataloguo and in
spect the Islands of the Delaware, and a
report dated June 14, 1722, refers to Petty's
Island as Falrman's Island, stating that It
wan uninhabited save by "hogga" pastured
thero In the summer tlmo by New Jersey
people.
Prior to 1782, the point as to whether
Petty's Island belonged to Pennsylvania or
New Jersey remained unsettled. But In
that year a commlislon for both States
conferred as to an equitable division, award
ing Petty's Island to New Jersey because It
was nearer the Jersey than tho Pennsyl
vania shoro. Do facto, however, Petty's
Island Is and always was a part of Phila
delphia, and now Is to become a commercial

along both banks of the Delaware, Is forg

looked at them suspiciously. Then he flung

cried, "to get my ..ioney."
Then he asked Shaw if he would be so

PIERRE DU PONT KEPT
STOCK SALE DARK, SAYS
GLASGOW AT HEARING
Complainants' Attorney Declares
Information About Transac-
tion Was Segregated
Carefully
OUTLINES CHARTER RULES
WILMINGTON. Del.. July 26. The six
teenth and final day of the hearing of the
du Pont powder caso, In which Alfred I.
du Pont and others seek to set asldo the
salo of Coleman du Pon't stock In tho com
pany to the du Pont Securities Company,
formed by Pierre S. du Pont and others, to
make the purchaso, opened in tho United
Statos Dlstrlat Court before Judge Thomp
son this morning with the courtroom
crowded by an Interested audience.
William A. Glasgow, of Philadelphia, be
gan his argument In behalf of tho com
plainants. Mr. Glasgow reviewed the trans
actions Incident to the proposal of Coleman
du Pont to sell his 20,000 shares, and said
ho desired to have It secured for those In
the employ of tho company, not for him
self. eH asserted, reading from the correspond,
ence. that Pierre S. du Pont had not told
his associates In the company the full facts
of the negotiations. He laid stress upon
the fact that Alfred I. and William du Pont
were not then willing to pay 3160 per share
for the stock, and that thereupon tho de
fendants declared the deal for the purchase
of the stock by the company was "off,"
and proceeded with arrangements for the
purchase In another manner.
Mr. Glasgow referred to the things the
du Pont Powder Company Is authorized to
do under Its charter, enumerating among
other things the buying nnd selling of Its
own stock, the directors being the persons
authorized and empowered to do this. This,
however, he said, was not the crux of the
plaintiff's case. What It did show was that
Pierre du Pont had been glen direct com
mission to negotiate with T. Coleman du
Pont not merely for his 20,000 shares, but
all ho was willing to sell.
Mr. Glasgow then alluded to the condi
tions of tho company at that time, with Its
largo war contracts and Its 336,000,000 In
total assets, both Increasing and making the
stock more valuable, which he said was all
known to Pierre du Pont
Mr. Glasgow said tho Court must be Im
pressed with the difference )n the tone of the
letters exchanged by Coleman and Pierre
du Pont over tho. matter of the stock pur
chase, and the evidence given by the of
ficers of the comnay, that the outlook was
gloomy through uncertainty as to what
could be done, and whether the company
would pull through. He demanded to know
If It was not remarkable that these talks
bteween Pierre and Coleman, as revealed In
the letters, were not revealed, even to the
company dlrctors.
VICE SHIELDED BY COPS,
GIBBONEY TESTIFIES
Centlnud from rie One
for the most par given by the police and
politicians, It Is absurd to think that any
gambler or vice resort proprietor would
go to the expense of fitting up a place unless
assured of some sort of protection, and to
my ml fid toleration of such places by the
police la. the tame as protection.
"The police do not stand by and see a
robbery, but they da stand outside of dli
orderly houses and gambling dens with
full knowledge of what a going on Inside.
The place Is tolerated and therefore pro,
tected. It Is just this sortwf condition In
this city which has brought about the type
of 'Doggie' Miller, who was electroouted
last week for killing two policemen. 'Dog
gie' Miller Is a manufactured product of
social conditions In Philadelphia. His case
Is ony one of scores. It Is time for the
cltliens to wake up,' I have In mind an
Instance of a house on Eleventh street above
CallQwhlll It was as easy for men and
boys to go In there before the raid as It
was to go In Independent Hall,
"A certain youth of a. prominent Phlla-
Jelphja family became a frequenter and
over the protest of pirtnts and friends be
was inyeigieq into marrying the pro
prletrees. It Is responsibility for such condi
tions that the Grand Jury will dig down

pounded by the jurymen Is "Are resorts be,

BALTIMORE, July 26. Captain Koenlg
and his crew had one besetting fear today
over success of the return trip of their
submarine merchantman Deutsohland.
That was the possibility that Ally patrols
oft the Virginia Capes would be so zealous
to capture the submarine that they would
overstep tire three-mllo limit line, Mys
terious maneuvers of the Ally guardshlps
and the contraction of their line gave basis
for their fear.
And while Koenlg waited upon the arrival
of -the sister ahlp Bremen, a British tramp
anchored across the path of the Deutsoh
land was In position to report his move
ments Immediately. Only a few hundred
feet beyond the Deutechland British agents,
equipped with a fast motorboat, were uhder
oraera to trail her down the bay and to
flash ashore word of her departure Immedi
ately. Captain Hlnsch, port captain of tha sub
marine line, has disappeared from his usual
haunts after bidding good-by to the ofllcers
of tho DeutBChland. It is belleved-Captaln
Hlnsch has started for Hampton Roads on
a scouting expedition to ascertain definitely
Just what conditions will confront tho
Deutsehland when she starts her dash for
tha open sea. He Is also expected, to deter
mine what Ally naval force must be evaded
by the undersea boat
Tho soreen of barges and burlap curtains
surrounding the Deutsohland nt her dock
was carefully gone over today, and every
tiny peep-hole that might afford a glimpse of
the submarine was patohed. The burlap
curtains were enlarged to stretch from the
top of the barges to the water-line, and
after tje work waa done the Deutsehland
was Invltlble. The work was done before
dawn, and It was the only activity that
could be discerned about tha submarine
throughout the night, although the tug
Tlmmlns kept her usual watch, with her
searchlight swooping the harbor,
Ofllcers of the Deutsehland nnd the entire
crew got Into their working clothes today.
The ofllcers donned their gray uniforms and
the crow put on tho heavy yellow-gray oil
skins. Several wngonlouds of fresh laundry
were delivered to the submarine by a local
cleaning establishment
