Millions of Dollars Worth of Provisions Tied Up by British Admiralty. he got the little note on Saturday, Just before he started on his trip West, but he was so touched that he dropped the rather boresome business of vetoing legislation and discussing State taxes long enough to -see that the Brooklyn lassie's letter was forwarded Appeal Signed "Rosie Hicks" Asks Mayor to Use His Influence With Secretary of the Navy, and Letter Is Forwarded to Washington. Londbn, April 20 With millions of dollars worth of provisions tied up by the British Admiralty and virtually no opportunity to ship foodstuffs to Xorway, Denmark and Sweden, European representatives of American packers have lost all patience with what they call the dilatory tactics of English officials, and are no longer' disposed to accept in good faith the promises of the British Foreign Office and Admiralty that Immediately steps will be taken to facilitate neutral trade with neutral countries. The refusal of Sir Samuel Evans, Judge of the Prize Court, to grant immediate trial to the four Norwegian ships, Alfred Nobel, BJornstjerne BJornson, Kim and Fridland, which were seized at Kirkwall in November, was the worst blow which neutral ships and shipping have had so far.

The hearing was fixed for June 7, on the request of the counsel for the Crown, who pleaded for more time to Investigate the cases. Attorneys for the Norwegian shin MANY CHANGES TO BE MADE. Mr. Healy, Moving to Larger Quarters, Sees Big- Boom for Fulton Street Business. The first step In the plans of the J.

S. Bailey Company of Hoston, the department store concern which purchased the Central Branch Y. M. C. A.

building at Fulton and Hoyt streets to remodel the structure for its purposes, comes with the announcement that H. Healy, the Jeweler at 602 Fulton street, will vacate the premises shortly and niwve to new quarters in the Kelly building, at 470 Fulton street. When plans for the handsome new building for the Y. M. C.

A. now being erected at Hanson place and South El liott place were completed, the prop erty which Includes twenty feet On Fulton and 126 feet on Hoyt street was sold to the Boston firm, which owns a string of five, ten and fifty cent depart ment stores throughout the East. It is their plan to establish a similar branch at the property in Brooklyn. Mr. Healy's new quarters will more than double the space he now occupies.

In speaking of the change to- duy, Mr. Healy expressed the greatest faith In the future of the shopping district. 'I believe that Fulton street In des tined to become one of the best known retail centers In the country," he said. "We have the people here, and no Der- son will go elsewhere to shop, if the Dusiness men along the street show their wares to the best advantage. "What we really need is more ud- to-date buildings.

The announcement or oppenhelm, Collins Co. a few days ago, that they intend to spend over $1,000,000 in Brooklyn, and give the borough's principal shoDDln street one of the finest retail structures in tne country, is another evidence of the faith its large merchants have in the future of the street." The store which Mr. Healv Is to occupy, is now used by Richard Kellv, the women's specialty merchant, who occupies the entire upper section of the Kelly Building. Mr. Kelly is to move his store to the section now used' by the Crown Clothing Company, two doors below.

Davis and Weiss, the tailors, who have been es tablished for years at 361 Fulton street, moved today to larger quarters at 465 Fulton street, the store occupied by Halbert, the Interior decorator, who moved Saturday to his new building at 134 Livingston street.

Hay nes She CAUGHT IX FACTORY SH AFT. Pliyslclnn Tells of grafting Skin. Contributory Negligence Is Defense. Miss Mary Haynes, a demure little miss of 17, who lives at 345 Court street, went into Part III of the Supreme Court before Justice Kelby and a Jury today, ascended the witness stand and told a story that made the Jurors gasp. She was telling the details of the accident on August 14, 1913, for which she is suing the Cook Cobb Company for dam ages.

As a climax to her story, her at torney, John J. Graham, told her to remove her hat. Her brown hair came off with It and when she removed a white, tight-fitting cap' she exposed a head entirely denuded of hair and showing patches of skin that had been grafted from other parts of her body. The Jurors took one look and then involuntarily turned their heads away as the demure looking miss, who was regarded as quite pretty when she went on the witness stand became a pathetic looking object. The testimony that preceded the Incident was to the effect that Miss Haynes had hep scalp torn off when her hair was caught In a revolving vertical shaft on the third floor of the Cook Cobb factory, at Steuben street and DeKalb avenue.

The shaft was exposed and unguarded, she testified, within a few Inches of the washing fountain and sink, where all tho employees of that floor had to go for drinking water. She had just removed her hat and was preparing herself for the day's work when her hair, which down her back, partly braided, was caught by the shaft, which was coated with dirt and grease, according to the testimony. The girl was raised from the floor and lifted toward the ceiling. Her scalp was torn completely off, and much of the skin on her temples and face was Injured. When she dropped to tho floor, several of the girls who had rushed toward her as she screamed at the first pull at her hair fainted, and there was a panic.

Miss Haynes, on being cross-examined by William A. Jones for the company, testified that no one came to help her as she lay on the floor and added that under the circum stances she didn't blame them at all. Mary's sister, Irene, who also was employed by the Cook and Cobb Company, was a witness to the accident and In telling the details she wept and tears glistened in the eyes of most of the men who were In the courtroom. ir T-T T.n.ir tntA tht IllfV that Mu rv'li heaut If 111 black hair which she Mary Deautiiui oiacK nair, nicn sne lost '1 the accident, will never grow again. For three weeks, Dr.

Long said, he tried in vain to make Mary's scalp grow back on her head, and after four months he had to resort to skin grafting. Kirst some skin was taken from another patient in the Brooklyn Hospital, where the girl was for many weeks, and later, some of her own was used. In the answer of the company It Is contended that the accident happened because of Mary's own negligence. Asked whether she knew of the existence of a cloakroom, the girl said it was much too small for all the girls and that the only drinking water on the floor was in the corner by the revolving shaft. The paste which she had to use was kept in that corner, too, and there was a post with hooks on it, on which many of the girls hung their clothing.

So, she contended, it was quite necessary for her to go there. The girl's father, Harry Haynes, has an incidental suit for the loss of his daughters' services.

Constipation is Cured by a return to regular habits of eating and exercise, by breaking off the laxative habit, and by the use of a pure mineral oil as an internal lubricant. MINERAL OIL Og. National Park Cent xM The mineral oil treatment for constipation, first advocated by Sir William Ar-buthnot Lane, the distinguished English surgeon, is now being successfully prescribed by doctors all over the world. Nujol is equal in every respect to the best Russian mineral oil, the supply of which has been cut off by the war. It is absolutely odorless, tasteless and freed from every impurity.

Write for "The Rational Treatment of Constipation," an informative treatise on constipation and the mineral oil treatment. Ask for Nujol at your druggist's, or send 75c. in money or stamps for a trial pint bottle. Address Dept H.
