Parking Space Reserved for Autos APE SCARES VINEYARD FOLKS Island Natives Discover Tropic Animal in Woods Chilmark, Mass., Sept. 9.—Is there an ape roaming unrestrained through tie woods of Martha's Vineyard it 3is this question that has thrown a | chill over the vacationists on the spper end of the island. Women and " children hesitate before they go out ‘on the hills berrying, and every .rarmer with a dog turns it loose in- stead of chaining it up at night, as was his custom. The little colony of cottagers at Menemsha Creek is wondering when the dark form seen scampering across the field of George D. Eustis the other night will come its way. Tracks in Sand. For, strange and impossible as it may seem, two men have caught glimpses of this big and unwelcome visitor. A track in the sand like the footprint of a young child and the unusual manner in which a turkey nest was despoiled of its eggs point to a visitor of the ape family. One of the Chilmark Tiltons first = encountered the intruder a week ago while he was at work in the woods. At first he thought it was a young Lear. Any curiosity Mr. Tilton might have felt was dissipated when the animal turned on him. He fled to his 2 brothers, he set out again the animal bad disappeared. A Black Ape. His description of the creature was somewhat vague and unsatisfactory, but it was enough to prove that the Vineyard had a visitor not native to ite soil. “It was heavy limbed and black,” r. Tilton said. “Stood, 1 should dge, about three feet in height. The head was big and rounded, his teeth were white and prominent.” George D. BEustis of Hollyholm Farm, on the South Shore, noticed that his dogs were very uneasy several nights. One evening they suddenly ran into the woods together, apparently in pursuit of something, and after a brief time came back pretty much out of breath. Mr. Eustis thought little of the in- cident then, but when he turned out c¢ne morning to find a turkey nest on the edge of the woods Tobbed of all its eggs he became interested. Eats Turkey Eggs. The robber left a trail of sucked eggs behind him. The animal might have picked up an armful of eggs and held them against his breast with his paw while he ambled off toward ccver, dropping them as he went. Then Mr. Eustis saw the creature. A commotion in his henhouse brought him to the window Thursday night. ‘When he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes a bit he saw a dusky figure crossing his field. It lumbered along with a sidewise motion and, as near as Mr. Eustis could tell, was three f"c}. tall. It was black and hard to see against the woods, but in its| rassage across the open space the watcher had a good view of it. At the farm brook the beast stopped, bent over and drank. Then it stood erect, turned and went into the woods. In the morning the family found a footprint like that of a child on the house after a gun, and when, with his sund.

IMMENSE FALLING OFF OF AMERICAN IMPORTS Value of Goods Received Was $219,- 700,000 Less Than Previous Year —Foodstuffs Increase. ‘Washington, Sept. 9.—An analysis of American imports, issued today by the department of commerce showed the value of goods shipped into the United States during the fiscal year 1915 was less by $219,700,000 than the previous year's trade. Total im- ports amounted to $1,674,200,000. Decreases in the imports of manu- | facturers—other than food products —account for mast of the reduction. Imports of foodstuffs last year, how- ever, showed an increase of $43,200,- 000 over the previous year’s business. Cane sugar worth $174,000,000 led all other preducts entering into the import trade, and coffee was next , with a value of $106,700,000. Im- ports of precious stones showed a reduction of more than 50 per cent. from the previaus year's trade, while decreases were marked in trade iun silk, tobacco, spirits and wines. KILLED BY AUTO. Winsted, Sept. 9.—John aged nine, son of Michael Ore Hill, was killed by an automo- ; bile in Millerton, N. Y. last night. A Mr. Morford of Washington, D. C., was driving the car. It is stated that the lad jumped off the rear of a traction engine on which he and other boys were riding, and while run- ning to the sidewalk collided with the automobile. Apparently, the lad did not see the approaching machine. Downs, Downs of He died of a fractured skuill. The autoist was exonerated from blame. RYNDAM IN PORT, DYE EMBARGO LIFTS Supply, However, Appears But a Drop in the Bucket New York, Sept. 9.—The shipment of the intermediates used in the man- ufacture of dyestuffs arrived yester- day on the steamship Ryndam, the English having decided to let us have them, but the supply thus af- forded will not go very far, in opinion of Dr. Thomas H, Norton of the Department of Commerce clothing and textile men with whom he has been conferring. After long talks with some of the leading textile manufacturers yesterday Dr. Norton said: Caution to Public. “The clothing and dyed goods men agree with me that an appeal ought to be issued through the press of the country to every man and woman who | buys a colored carpet, a dyed gown or any other article in the colors to be as moderate as possible in his demands. There is going to be a serious deficiency probably in spite of everything tha can be done. “It may be that people have heard so much about a shortage in dye- stuffs ever sincc the war began that they have discounted it, generally finding that they could get about what they wanted. But the industry has been running on a short supply and only several lucky accidents have prevented a famine in dyes.

It is appetizing — pure —— wholesome. the | and the public to realize that the danger still impends, - and more seriously than before, and to act accordingly.” Dr. Norton said that with both the dyesuff men and the seekers of potash the very important considera- tion seemed to be, What is congress going to do to help us fight wunfair competition if we invest our money and build up big home dye and pot- ash industries? German Monoply. “The general complaint is not the cry for a protective tariff,” said Dr. Norton, “but concerns the experience of the past in having Germany un- dersell us in our own markets. The German potash industry is a govern- ment monopoly as well as a natural monopoly. The German dyestuc in- dustry is solidly based and a formid- ably intrenched monopoly- Both are 80 well organized that American mak- ers say they have repeatedly had to face underselling in this country by these trusts—for that is what they are. The remedy sought is an ex- tension of the Sherman law which would govern foreign monopolies in their practices here just as our own corporations are governed—in other words, bring all the big oganized in- dustries under the same laws in the American market.” Dr. Norton received a visit yes- terday from Prof. E. Hart of Lafay- ette college, discoverer of a process !for extracting potash from feldspar. | Prof. Hart examined with great in- | terest a new and shorter process cf the same sort, the work of a young i inventor who is at present anonymous i but whose achievement was announc- ed by Dr- Norton yesterday. TENNIS DOUBLES CHANGES HANDS { | i ' Sensational Californians, Beat Dou- bles Champions For the Past Three Years. The new singles champion, William { M. Johnston, and Clarence J. Griffin, the San Francisco boys who won the sectional doubles, wrested the na- tional championship from Maurice E. McLoughlin of San Francisco and Thomas C. Bundy of Los Angeles in the challenge round at the West Side Tennis Club yesterday in a five set match, at 2—86, 6—3, 6—4, 3—6, 6—3. McLoughlin and Bunday up to yester- day had defended the title success- fully since they won it from Gustave F. Touchard and Raymond D. Little in 1912. The match had little of the snap, vim and bounce which marked the final round of the singles on Tuesday and less than five thousand persons saw it. Much of the interest was taken from the contest because it was regarded as a faregone conclu- sfon that the challengers would win. 1t was felt generally that they would have little trouble. As a matter | ____ of fact they didn't and it was only because Johnston and Grifin did not choose to go at top speed all the time that the match lasted as long as it did. On the face 4f things, it appears that the challengers had a hard time to win. In the bare score a full distance contest always looks like a hard fight, and it usually is, but this was not the case yesterday. Al- though the defenders were only one game behind their conquerors on the total, having won 22 and lost 23 games, the fight was not nearly that close, nor did the fact that both teams made 154 points make the contest any more interesting. SWISS ANXIOUS FOR PEACE MOVE Neatrals Are Victims of War, Says President Motta Paris, Sept. 9, 2:20 a. m.—Neutral nations are justified in protesting against war because they are its vic- tims, in the apinion of Dr. Guiseppa Motta, president of Switzerland, who expressed his views in a conversation with Etienne Lamy, the French aca- demician, published today in the Petit Parisien. “Past wars,” quoted as saying, President Motta is “affected only bel- ligerents, but nowadays, owing to growth, the change in ideas, habits and wealth, there is a community among peoples.
