When the Kronprlns Wllhelm arrived off Thimble shoals, after passing the Virginia capes, early today, two United States submarines, the G-l and D-2, met It. The appearance of the submarines caused considerable surprise among the crew, but there was no demonstration as the UUla vessel convoyed the Ger man raider to quarantine, where Ir. MacCaf forty. United States quarantine officer, boarded it Commander Thlerfelder reported sixty six of the crew and prisoners were ill with Deri berl, and requested that they lie taken to a hospital.

In its raid of the seas since it slipped out of New Tork harbor August S last as a German merchant and passenger steamer, the Kronprlns Wllhelm never touched land and took 960 prisoners from various vessels destroyed. ' Most of thcae were sent to South Amer ican ports at different times on German ships which met the raider In response to wireless calls. The second of the raiders brought as ' thrilling a story as did the Eltcl Feeder ii'h.

Early today United States naval patrol of the James river was begun in the vi cinity of the Wllhelm' anchorage. The naval tug Patuxent took a position along side the German raider, while torpedo floats and submarines anchored in posi tions leading to Hampton Roads. The provisions taken on by the cruiser were for use in this port only. They con sisted of vegetables and fresh meats, the lack of which was responsible for the epidemic of berl-beri.

CHIEF SAYS MBNJUNDERPAID Carlton Says He Believes in Unions, Though He Would Not See Opera tors' Representatives. TELEGRAPHERS' CHIEF TALKS CHICAGO. April 1 2. President Newcomb Carlton of the Western Colon Telegraph company and S. J. Konenkamp, president of the Com mercial Telegraphers' I'nion of America, testified from their re spective viewpoints before the I'nited States Commission on Industrial Re lations today to the wages and work ing conditions of the commercial telegraphers. Mr. Carlton caused a mild sensa tion when replying to a question from Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the commission, as to whether tel egraphers were adequately compen sated, said : "I believe that the telegraphers are underpaid." "Overpaid!" exclaimed Mr. Walsh. Khoalrf Make More. "No, underpaid. I think they ought to mtke more money than they do. So far a I can ascertain wages have Increased at least 30 per cent In the last ten years. Ten years ago a Morse telegrapher re ceived SIR; It Is now $23. It was $13 50 for women, and now It Is IK My own view is that a first-class telegrapher should be able to earn at least IS a day of nlnn hours. Some of our employes under the so-called premium plan are making close to that." The witness stated that his company has one of the best pension and relief organizations in the country and it costs the men nothing. Half a million dollars was expended on It last year," he said. "I do not mention this as a substitute for pay; nothing can take the place of that. It Is merely our contribution to so ciety, and it Is good business," said Mr. Carlton. The witnesses' opposition to the organ iration. headed by Mr. Konenkamp, who followed him on the stand, was madn plain In various utterances. He admitted the principle of collective bargaining and that a "responsible organization" of Western ITnlon telegraphers coul.l be dealt with. The men should have some organization to protect their Interests, he stated with emphasis. Right to Proteetlon. "We are subject to the control of tho Interstate Commerce commission," he said. "They absolutely fix not only our practices, but our rates. I believe, there fore, that the commission should he given sufficient power to see that fair wages are paid and that fair working conditions are provided. I thing the corporation, the public and the employes are entitled to the protection of some federal commis sion." The policy of the Western Union, the witness stated, is formed by the execu tive committee. Jacob Scahf, a member of that committee, wgs quoted by Chair man Walsh as having said that no self respecting employer would refuse to deal Meat Cause of Kidney Trouble Take a glass of Halts If your Rack hurts or Bladder bothers Meat forms uric arid. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forma urlo acid which almost paralyses the kidneys in their ef forts to expel It from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains In the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night To neutralise these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tublespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is mado from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with llthla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids In urine, so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

COCOANUT OIL MAKES A SPLENDID SHAMPOO If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the lialr brittle, snd Is very harmful. Just plain mulslfled coooanut oil (which Is pure and entire ly greaselesa), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly in jure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub It In. One or two teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every iartl le of dut. dirt, dandruff and ex cessive oil. The hair drb.-s quickly and evenly, and it leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age. You can gut mulslfled cocoauut oil at most any drug store. It Is very cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Advertisement.

"Is that your lplnlnn?" a-ked Mr. Walsh "I believe In the organization of labor." "And In dlle -tlve bargaining?" "If collective bargaining Is where the organisation with whom you are dealing la a responsible one yes." , Mr. W alsh i r"saed for an answer to the broador question of dealing with or g,inlnl labor, and the witness rsplled. "It would be hypocritical for me to say that that Is my view, when 1 have re fused to s e certain representatives of certain so-called unions." "Was the Commercial Telegraphers' union one f those you refused to deal with?" asked the chairman. Wouldn't' See Them. "1 don't know that 1 specifically refused to deal with thm, hut I would spe cifically refuse to deal with them If they applied to me," answered Mr. Carlton. The witness a-ld that In the five years he has iwen with the company there has been no union of telegraphers which he considered quail fled to represent them. His polii-y with the men. he said, was to allow an open door to him for the appeal of all grievances. He thought that he had acted fnvorai ly on about 60 per cent of apiiliratlona for reinstatement. Telog raphera have been dismissed for activity In union affairs, he admitted. "Our opposition to the union Is well un derstood. " said he. He said that special agents were, tmployed to keep the com pany Informed, hut denied that the "spotters," as Mr. K'nenkampf designated them, were permitted to use questionable tactics in obtaining Information. He had Utile personal knowledge of how they work, he said. Mr. Walah mentioned In stances whero It hsd been alleged that larceny was resorted to by the special r.gents In obtaining correspondence and names 1m lonulnK to tho union. "I want to have It understood that we will fight. I have no hesitation In let ting It be known the methods snd means by which we will rfight. but there are some things that we won't do, not If I know It." answered Mr. Carlton. Asked A boat Remedy. Chairman Walsh asked him If he had any remedy for Industrial unrest to sug gest. "I do not think there to any panacea in the way of legislation.

Something should be done absolutely to prevent the shutting down of telegraphic communication by strikes. I do not sug gest the commission for all trades." Mr. Konenkamp In his testimony re ferred to some of the methods of the Western t'nlon as "criminal" and the condition of the operators as "slavery." He estimated that the number of com mercial telegraphers employed by the Western Union and the Postal Tole g?raph company at 20,000. Ills union, he an Id. has agreements with the Csnadlan Pacific, the International News service anad the United Press. These, he said, recognize the principle of collective bar gaining and adjustment of grievances. He declared that wages were lower now than they were forty years ago. This was In reply to a statement by Mr. Carl ton that an operator who did as much work now aa they did forty years ago would earn about I:XX) a month. Hoars f Work. Mr. Konenkamp said that In the larger of floes the men worked nine hours, and women, by a recent order, only eight. The tendency, he saM, was to lengthen the hours. The premium system of earn had been scaled down. At first 1 cent a message was paid on measAges over 300, which was the standard figure of a day's work. I-ater the standard was Increased to J messages, and only eight-tenths of a cent paid for more than that. He admitted that the typewriters, copper wires and other Improvements hsd made greater speed possible. The constant opposition of the West ern tnlon to unions Is no surprise to us," said Mr. Knoenkamp. "The company has been consistent In that for fifty years, and for thirty years the possession f a union card has been the signal for dis missal. They have employed criminal methods; or at least have turned their heads away when criminal methods were employed." The witness said thst his remedy was government protection, the right of the men to organize and to bargain collec tively. He added that If the union suf fered because of the personality of Its leaders he would pledge that within ninety days after the Western tTnlon had recognised the union they would all re sign.
