The fund HEAVY VINDS FAL TOSTOP ROTORSHP Flettner Device Makes Head- way Where Sails or Motor Would Have Failed. BY JAMES B. WHARTON. By Cable to The North American Newt 3 HOLTENAU, Germany, (on Board Rotorship Buckau).— After a rough three-day passage the Baltic, dropped anchor oft Holtenau, at the mouth of the Kiel Canal, at 5 g'clock this afternoon. Although winds were savage and adverse during the entire voyage, the ship was able to make consider- able headway by tacking. It demon- strated its seaworthiness and proved itself able to utllize wind power which could not have been used with sails. Capt. Peter Callsen and Frenz Contl, Flettner's representative, each said 'they were satisfled with the ship's performance on this first stage of the voyage from Danzlg to Scot- land. Engine Power Used. Thursday evening, immediately after rounding the promontory of Hela, a few hours from Danzig, the Buckau encountered strong westerly head winds that necessitated running under combination power rotor and Diesol motor. Iven with dual pow- er, the speed the first night never exceeded four knots. Without the combined power it could have made virtually no headway. The Diesel motor alone could not have driven us forward through the heavy sea and winds, while an ordinary sailing vessel would have been compelled to heave to. With rotors alone, accord- ing to Capt. Callsen, we might have gone ahead at a speed Of one or two knots an hour. During the first night, and all Fri- day, the Buckau pltched and rolled in a wallow of heavy seas. Many of the crew were seasick, including even the cook, a veteran of 20 years in various ship's galleys. The seas piled over the main deck, washing the piles of lumber lashed fast there. Friday night the wind died down from 21 meters a second to 10 meters, and the soas abated somewhat, with the result that we were able to make about five knots Saturday morning, and as high as seven yesterday and today. » Obliged to Tack. Due to head-on winds, we were obliged to tack, just as a sailing ves- sel in the teeth of the wind, during the entire voyage. It is approxi- mately 320 kilometers from Danzig to Holtenau, but wa covered probably a third again thaf distance by reason of our zig-zag cgurse. The rotorship, however, was ndt obliged to take as sharp tacks as it§ canvas forerunners. The strangest sight aboard this strangest craft ‘is “trimming” the rotors. When the wind is from port the rotors must revolve clockwise, and when from starboard, counter clock- wise. It is generally possible to con- trol the rotors by a small wheel on the bridge, connecting with the elec- tric rotor motor, but twice, due to the cold, it was necessary to pipe the crew on deck to change the direction of the rotors by hand. The speed of the rotors has varied between 40 and 110 revolutions per minute. A slight ‘rumbling of the two great towers is always audible, while the vibration, unlike the pound- Ing of steamer engines, is just per- ceptible but not bothersome. The Backau will lie in Holtenau for two days for the installation of wireless, prior to crossing the North Sea, which is looked forward to as its real test.

PASTOR CHARGES POLICE SPY FOR BOOTLEGGERS Fights Establishment of Near-Beer Saloon Near His Church in Baltimore. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, February 9.—Charges that Baltimore policemen are enact- ing the role of “tip-off” men for saloonkeepers and bootleggers have been filed by the Rev. J. T. Spick- nall of the Methodist Episcopal Church_with_the mayor. The Rev. Mr. Spicknall, protesting against a proposed near-beer saloon near his church, said: “We have been told that even if the saloon becomes a nuisance we can have recourse to the police de- partment and the prohibition au- thorities. If we did so, two hours before any proposed prohibition raid the police would ‘tip-off' the saloon and so give them a chance to clean things up.” . Maryland Farmers Say Parcel Post Change Would Discriminate. BALTIMORE, Md., February 9.— Letters protesting the proposed in- crease in existing postal rates, with particular reference to parcel post matters, have been written by Melvin Stewart, secretary of the Maryland Farm Bureau Federation, and sent to Maryland Congress members, it was announced yesterday. It is pointed out that the 18 county farm bureaus and numerous agri- cultural organizations, Included in the State federation represent a State farm organization ocovering every form of activity in Maryland and possessing a tremendous farm mem- bership support. Loading the inorease on parcel post would be a discrimination against the farmer, who I8 the larg- est user of the parcel post system and is paying rates which make that service self-supporting, Mr. Stewart £aid in the leter. ~ L Johns Hopkins Fund $2,500,000. ‘Special Dispatch to The Star.
