The $6.50 Lot Consist of IF AND ABOUT TOWN Almanac For Baltimore This Day THOMAS DEFORD DEAD Succumbs Suddenly To Congestion Of The Lungs. DEFAULT ON TRACTION BONDS Reorganisation Of The Washington Company In View.

Announcement was made In Washington Saturday of the default In the Interest due June 1 on the Washington Traction 4 per cent, bonds. This action was not unexpected, as the course of the company's securities for some time Indicated that a reorganization was in view. Local Investors hold comparatively few of the defaulted bonds. Interest in the situation here lies in the fact that the Washington Traction Company controls the Metropolitan, the City and Suburban and the Anacostia and Potomac Companies, the bonds of which are largely held in Baltimore and vicinity. The bonds of the last two roads were floated in this market and the bulk of them are owned by local investors.

It is understood that these bonds will be undisturbed in the reorganization, though no official announcement In regardto them has as yet been made. Plans for the reorganization of the Washington Traction Company have been issued by the majority bondholders. The reorganization committee consists of George W. Young, chairman; John C. Brown, James Timpson, William H.Holllster, Gardiner M.

Lane. The offices of the bondholders' committee will be at No. 59 Cedar street, New York. The stock and bonds of the company are mainly owned by New York people. The earning capacity never has been equal to the demands.

The company was organized two years ago with a capital of $12,000,000 in stock and $20,000,000 in 4y2 per cent, bonds. Its property consists of the stocks of 11 street railroads and two electric lighting companies in Washington. The deficits in the company's revenues have been made good at each successive period by those largely interested, and, it is understood, through an assessment on the stock. Saturday's action is attributed to some large holders, including Messrs. Hay-ward, of Baltimore; Scott, of Wilmington, and F.

C. Stevens selling their stock. The purchasers, it Is reported, are the Roe-blings, of New York. It is supposed that a floating debt has been accumulated. Some conjecture that this has reached a million dollars or more.

George W. Young, one of the majority bondholders, estimated that it would be four or five years before the receipts of the company on Its present basis would meet the operating expenses and fixed charges.

James Short, 2511 Barclay street, found one of the bullets in his vestibule yesterday morning. Patting In The Shad Crop. About 25,000,000 shad will be distributed In the various rivers throughout the State this week by Fish Commissioner Dr. J. W.

SERMON TO COLLEGE GIRLS President Goucher Talks To Them Of Adjustment In Life.

The baccalaureate sermon before sthe class of 1901 of the Woman's College was preached by President Goucher, of the Woman's College, yesterday morning at First Methodist Episcopal Church. The church was crowded, the large congregation filling both the body and the galleries of the building. Part of the main body of the church had been reserved for faculty and students. The graduating class wore their Oxford caps and gowns, with dainty white frocks showing beneath the gowns. The church was elaborately decorated with palms and potted plants, while the 1901 flower, ragged robin, was everywhere In evidence.

Masses of this flower, with bunches of white roses, were arranged in large, handsome blue vases on each side of the chancel, while the class colors, blue and white, were still further brought out by the large white flower stand In front of the pulpit. This stand was filled with exquisite yellow roses in honor of the college, the colors of which are blue and gold. In the chancel with the preacher of the day wre: Dean John B. Van Meter, of the Woman's College; Rev. Hugh Johnston, pastor of First Church; Rev.

Dr. Luther T. Widerman, of the college board of trustees; Rev. W. L.

McDowell, general secretary of the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Rev. A. W. Rudisill, Madras, India, and Rev. Dr.

Edwards. The College Glee Club sang Handel's "Largo" and Mendelssohn's "Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains." Mrs. F. Belle Cole-Shefloe was the organist. Dr.

Goucher preached eloquently from the text "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." His subject was right adjustment in life. The president then spoke directly to the class of 1901 as "daughters of the Woman's College," calling on them with much earnestness to be faithful to the privileges granted them. HOPKINS FUND "IN A FOG" What President Gilman Says Of The BIUHon-Dollar Movement. A regular monthly meeting of the Johns Hopkins University trustees is to be held today and friends of the institution hate been hoping that it would result In some encouraging news relative to the million-dollar fund which must be raised before the Wyman gift becomes operative. From what could be learned yesterday there is small prospect of these hopes being realized.

President Gilman said yesterday that "the whole affair is still In a fog," and Intimated that there Is no immediate prospect of the fund being raised. Dr. Gilman was also asked whether or not his successor to the presidency would be discussed at the meeting, but said he did not know and would not be in a position to say anything if he did. Mr. James L.

McLane also disclaimed any knowledge of anything important to be settled at the meeting. FLOWERS FOR ELKS' GRATES Members Of The Order Do Honor To Their Dead Brethren. The gTaves of deceased Elks in cemeteries in and around Baltimore were made beautiful with flowers yesterday by members of the Baltimore Lodge of Elks. In the morning the graves of Elks in Bonnie Brae, Greenmount, Loudon Park, Mount Carmel, Baltimore, Trinity, Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, Oheb Shalom Congregation and Eden Street Congregation Cemeteries were decorated. In the afternoon special exercises were held at Elks Rest, in the Lor JOEL GD1IH which has sent out its tendrils, climbing higher and higher year by year, until now It covers the whole building.

His life was an aspiration, an Inspiration to all. It was a broad life, ever ready to cover the defects others, just as the vine has covered every bit of the church, the old portions and the places thai were worn and have been re paired. "Dr. Babcock had the rare privilege of knowing while he was alive that he had the appreciation of his friends. When 1 came to Baltimore under the inspiration of his words he said: 'The people will love you and will show that they love you.

They have loved me and have manifested their love. "The spirit of our service today Is not that of mourning; it fcs the spirit of corona tion." "He Was Like Hopefnl." President D. C. Oilman, of the. Johns Hopkins University, spoke especfally of Dr Babcock's influence on young men.

"To many a young man within the sound of my voice," he said, "Dr. Babcock was like Hopeful In 'Pilgrim's Progress', releasing them from doubt and despair with the key of promise. Bright, playful, forceful in diction, his greatest power was this he knew how to reach hearts. A Many-Sided Man. Rev.

Oliver Huckel, pastor of the Asso ciate Congregational Church, spoke of Dr Babcock's unusual gifts in music, poetry and literary speech. "What a many-sided man he was musician, poet, artist, ath lete, preacher! Every phase of his versa tile life was full of rich revelations of the frill-rounded man. His music, whettner col lege music or church music, had the same touch of genius. The only too few musical compositions that he has left us are full of melody and harmony, full of subtle quality and a noble distinction, and speak to us most pathetically of what we have lost in the sudden ending of this melodious life. "Dr.

Babcock loved the poets and felt that they were noble interpreters of God. I think he read fully as much in poetry as in theology. His own poetic gifts were of fine quality. The poems that he published are gems, full of quickening lifg and beauty. "There was a literary and a scholastic tang in his speech in the pulpit.

He made his sermons grip the soul, and he never let go. His music, his poetry, his preaching were all equally full of what to me was his chief charm and his greatest power, which was his own indefinable, magnetic, buoyant and magnificent personality. He was a living exponent of a full-rounded Christianity." Mr. Huckel closed his tribute with this sonnet, written by him in memory of Dr. Babcock: He is not dead! Such souls can never die He breathes already a diviner air.

And those eternal visions vast and fair Already stretch before his wondering eye. He is not gone! His presence still is nigh. And lives within our hearts with holiest prayer. And sweetens all our lives like incense rare That floats in fragrance to the throne on high. May we not mourn we that loved him so? His hopes were ours, his triumphs were our pride.

And how we glorified in his strong heart's blood! Yes, mourn, hut know that God has loved him, too, No less than we. And he is satisfied Before the vision of 17ie face of God. Phases Of His Character. Rev. Curtis Lee Laws, pastor of the First Baptist Church, paid a high tribute to Dr.

Babcock as a man and as a brother minister. "We can best memorialize this great man," he said, "by building Jesus Christ into our lives as he built Him Into his life." The next speaker. Rev. Dr. John F.

Goucher. president of the Woman's College, spoke of Dr. Babcock in his relation to studtnt life. "Dr. Babcock was a man of clear vision," Dr.

Goucher said. "He saw-much more than the average man. He looked at men not as lawyers, physicians, mechanics, but he saw in each one individual possibilities. He was human, with a keen appreciation of the life and interests of others. And as the periphery of his personality increased it multiplied the points of his contact with humanity.

"He was a specialist in applied Christianity and here was the secret of his power with all students. Wherever he went he inspired to the highest effort." Rev. Arthur Chilton Powell, rector of Grace Protestant Episcopal Church, spoke of Dr. Babcock as a minister of the Gospel. "He had a sublime love for God, and a sublime love for man.

Some men allow their profession to mark them. He marked his profession. Of all professional men the minister must embody his own teaching In his own character. In a marked degree did Dr. Babcock attain and discharge an ideal ministry among men.

And this world is and ever will be brighter because he lived in It. We cannot think that life ended nor picture that personality gone. Somewhere In the Father's House that choice spirit still serves and achieves." Rev. Dr. Patton, president of Princeton University, was the only out-of-town speaker.

Dr. Pa ton was in Baltimore for the day, and was called upon unexpectedly to speak of Dr. Babcock as a preacher to college students. "There are not many great preachers." Dr. Patton said, "and there are fewer great college preachers.

Dr. Babcock was one of them. "He was a master of speech, still he was never nursing his literary dignity. He had a marvelous synthesis of feeling and will and unusual concentration of thought. The secret of his power lay In his desire to make men better and their lives brighter.

"Attractive physically, touching life at many points, knowing youngmen, acquainted with their phraseology, he was always sure of a sympathetic response from a student audience." Brown Memorial's Tribnte. At the close of his own address Mr. Stone read the minute adopted by Brown Memorial Church yesterday morning. In the resolution concluding the minute the members of the church pledged their assistance In the erection of a memorial church at the corner of Madison and North avenues on the lot adjoining Park Presbyterian Church, the new building to serve as a permanent home for the congregation of Park Presbyterian Church, which was started by Dr. Babcock and which in the future Is to be called by his name.

In part the minute is as follows: The death cf Dr. Babcock is to the church in the United States a profound misfortune; to his friends it is a heart known, irreparable loss. For nearly thirteen years be was our pastor. We, who know, boax witness to his virtues. What he was as a preacher the Christian world knows.

What he was as a man our hearts speak. His great success as a preacher was the direct result of his striking and Christ-like personality. He was always interesting and helpful, because he was interested in the subject he presented and incarnated the snme in hi3 life deeds. The notable Quality of his mind was its lucidit-always reasonable, always sound, earnest, yet tactfuL Its vivacity and freshness charmed, while its sincerity commanded attention. A standard-bearer has fallen and the place cannct be fiilod.

His consistent walk, his deep humility, his strong faith, his brightness, kindness and courtesy all showed the manner of man he was. He walked with the Master; his was the "maximum life for the King." Mr. Stone also read the resolution of sorrow passed by the board of directors of the Young Men's Christian Association. With the singing of the hymn "For All Thy Saints Who from Their Labors Rest" and with the benediction pronounced by Rev. Carl W.

Scovel, pastor of Babcock Memorial Church, the service was closed. WILL MR. STONE BE CALLED Members Of Brick Chnrch Deny A Report To That Effect. A special dispatch to The Sux from New York last night says: "Rev. James M.

Farr, assistant pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, was told tonight of a report in Baltimore that the Rev. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Brown Memorial Chnrch, would be called to succeed the late Dr. Maltbie D. Babcock in the pulpit of the Brick Church. Mr.

Farr declared positively that no name had been considered by the chnrch officials and that the subject would not be taken up for some time, probably not before next fall. "Several of fhe church members indignantly repudiated the suggestion that they were engaged In selecting a new pastor while the remains of Dr. Babcock remain yet unburied on the way home from Europe. William D- Barbour, treasurer of the session and a prominent trustee of the church, refused to discuss the report. "At the Brick Chnrch, Thirty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, this morning the former pastor the Rev.

Dr. Henry Van Dyke now professor of English literature In Princeton University, preached a sermon on the text, 'Let not your heart be troubled; yebelleveln God, believe also in.me." Children's Day Exercises. Children's Day exercises were held last night by the Sunday-school of the Lafayette Square Presbyterian Church. The pastor, Rev. Llewellyn S.

Fulmer, delivered a short address. The school has 350 pupils. Children's Day exercises were held last night by the Sunday-school of the Memorial United Evangelical Chnrch, Fremont and Edmondson avenues. The pastor, Rev. M.

I. Jamison, made a short address, which was followed by recitations and singing. Miss Florence Jamison was the accompanist. A symbolic arch formed the center of the decoration. Great Outpouring In Memory Of Rev.

Dr. Babcock. TRIB UTESTO HIS GREATPVOKTH Men Of All Creeds And Of IS Creeds Gather At Music Hall To Honor A Itlaii Among Men. "This large assemblage, representing our entire community, without distinction of class or creed, is its own spokesman on this occasion. The significant feature of this commemoration is the breadth of it; not merely the breadth of that personal field of endowment and achievement to which we pay homage, but the breadth of the sentiment that pays the homage.

For that sentiment embraces our civic life. Baltimore Is within these walls. Here are gathered educators, jurists, artists, merchants and artisans, and yet our sentiment is one. "We mourn the loss of one who, in the service of man, nsed his great powers of heart and mind." These were the opening words of the address made by Rev. Dr.

AdolphGuttmacher, rabbi of Madison Avenue Temple, at the service held in memory of Rev. Dr. Maltble IX Babcock, at the Music Hall, yesterday afternoon. And of the many earnest, eloquent and sincere tributes paid at the meeting to the memory of Dr. Babcock.

none was more significant "of the place Dr. Babcock held In the affectlonsof the community than this address of Dr. Guttmacher. The Jewish rabbi's was the last of the speakers. Those who preceded him had held the close attention of the audience by their words of appreciation of Dr.

Babcock as a man, a poet, a musician, a minister of the Gospel. As the rabbi began to speak men and women leaned forward that they might not lose a word. At his eloquent tribute all were deeply touched strong men dashed aside the tears the words called forth, and women wept without attempting to conceal their grief. His Memory A Blessing. "I will not speak of Dr.

Babcock's extraordinary mental resources," Dr. Guttmacher said, "nor of the poetic cast of his mind, nor of his love of music, but of the one trait In his character that 'makes the whole world kin. Dr. Babcock's thoughts swept freely over the field of humanity, his heart embraced the confessors of all religions, his soul warmed up for the welfare of all nationalities, his hand grasped In brotherly love the hand of many, though not belonging to his organized church society. In Lessing's famous dramatic poem 'Nathan the Wise" we find a conversation between a Jew and a Christian, where the latter praises the good and noble qualities cf Nathan.

The Jew, In answer, says to the Christian, 'that which makes Nathan In thine eyes a Christian, makes him in raise an Israelite." "The humanity, goodness and kindliness of Dr. Babcock and his love for mankind make him to yoa a Christian and to me an Israelite. He had the true conception of Teligion which rises above the prejudice of sect and creed and seeks fellowship with all children of God. Religions bigotry and narrowness he labeled as un-Christian. A few years ago, when Russia drove from their homes hundreds of thousands of Jews, many sought shelter in this our beloved land of liberty.

The exiles came here broken in spirit, starving and penniless. It was then that Dr. Babcock. unsolicited, raised his voice in behalf of the hapless victims of man's inhumanity and collected in his church a goodly sum for his unfortunate brethren, the persecuted Russian Jews. "Sabbath after Sabbath his message of love and hope and confidence attracted many who were not affiliated with his church, helping and cheering many a one who had lost his way in the world.

lay his be the reward which we believe to be prepared by our Heavenly Fatherinthe realms of the spirit life for all those who delighted in goodness and rejoiced In creating happiness around them, as our friend assuredly did, and may our Merciful Father support and comfort the hearts that mourn for him. Blessed be God for the life of such a man, for the fragrance of his memory. In the words of the rabbis: 'May a memory of his righteousness be a blessing forever and for ever. A Remarkable Gathering-. An audience such as that which was crowded into Music Hall yesterday afternoon has been but rarely seen in Baltimore.

It embraced people of all classes, of all creeds and people of no creeds. Long before the service was to begin the streets leading toward the hall were black with the hurrying throngs of people. A half hour before the service opened every seat In the hall had been taken, and still the crowds kept pouring In, filling up the open spaces back of the seats on the first floor and in the galleries as well. Hundreds stood that way for more than two hours throughout the entire service. Hundreds went to the doors and turned away, unable to find even standing room.

There was nothing suggestive of mourning In the scene. The dresses of the women massed together in the Immense audience brought Into the picture as seen from the platform the brightest possible touches of color, ranging from white to vivid scarlet. Tall palms that rustled in the breeze that blew in through the open windows decorated the platform. Just one reminder there was not of death, but of the ResurrectionIn the simple cluster of white lilies that lay upon the reading desk on the platform. Rev.

John Timothy Stone, the successor to Dr. Babcock as pastor of Brown Memorial Church, presided. Near him on the platform sat representatives of the Baltimore Presbytery, clergymen of denominations, those who wer? to speak and the officers and trustees of Brown Memorial and of Park, now Babcock Memorial Church. Among the latter was Mr. John P.

Ammidon, who was with Dr. Babcock on his trip to the Holy Land. Among the others were ex-Postmaster-General James R. Gary, John B. Ramsay, Matthew Fen-ton, Harry King, F.

M. Dushane. Dr. Horace Simmons. Bryson Millikin and Messrs.

Von Lingen. Harvey. Mallory and Lacy. At a signal from Mr. Stone the audience arose and the service was opened by the sing of "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." Dr.

B. Merrill Hopkinson. the preceptor at Brown3Iemorial Church, led the singing. In whiclr all of the congregation joined. The voices were supported by a quartet of trombones and by piano accompaniment.

Dr. Babcock's Hymns. The Invocation was made by Rev. Dr. Joseph T.

Smith, pastor emeritus of the Central Presbyterian Church. Rev. Donald Guthrie, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, read the Scriptures, selecting the Twenty -third Psalm and a passage from the Gospel of John. Then came a prayer by Rev. John Lee Allison, moderator of the Presbytery of Baltimore.

As the service progressed more than once an almost personal touch was given to it by the singing of some hymn known to be a favorite of Dr. Babcock's. The King of Love my Shepherd Is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine forever, ras one of them. "Jerusalem the Golden" was another. "Hark, hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling," was another.

Tha others were sung by the congregation in full, ringing tones. The last-named hymn was set to music by Dr. Babcock for Dr. Hopkinson In August, 180S, and It was to this music that Dr. Hopkinson sang it as a solo.

Another solp, and one that seemed to contain almost a personal message, sung by Dr. Hopkinson was the following hymn, written by Dr. Babcock and set to music by tim In 1S94: He holds the Key of all unknown And I am glad: If other hands should hold the key. Or, if He trusted it to me, I might be sad. What if tomorrow's cares were here Without its rest? I'd rather He nnlocked the day.

And as its hours swing open say "My will is best." I cannot read His future plans. But thi3 I know, I have the smiling of His face And all the refuge of His graco While here below. Enough, this cover all my needs, And so I rest. For what I cannot. He can see.

And in His love I e'er shall be Forever blest, His Life Like The Ivy. Separate topics had been assigned to each of the speakers, and while each speaker was careful not to trespass upon the ground assigned to others, it was noticeable that not one speaker closed his address without giving expression to what had seemed to him to be the secret of Dr. Babcock's power. Rev. Mr.

Stone said in his address: "The great power of his life lay In his Christlike thoughtfulness for others. Dr. Babcock's life," Mr. Stone said, "Is fittingly symbolized bytha beautiful via which, was planted I-adies' and Misses' Jackets of erery descrinJ nuii tjiin 4Jirtv.n. a m.1 j.

FnsKii; Says Total Fall For Month Was Below formal. Citizens of Baltimore who spent so much vital energy during the month of May carrying around umbrellas, to say nothing of hard-earned money which jycent in the purchase of substitutes for fffose lost or stolen, will doubtless be inclined to disagree with the statement of Mr. Fassig, the United States Weather official at Baltimore, that the rainfall in the past month was less than normal. Yet Mr. Fassig asserts that while the normal downpour for May, based on 23 years of observation, Is 3.78 inches, the record for the month just closed was but 3.67 Inches.

AVhen Mr. Fassig' attention was drawn to the fact that the average citizen has been under the impression that this Mav broke all records for May rain he said it was due to the number of cloudy days, in which the rainfall was heavy enough to spoil tempers and spring hats, but not enough to add to the total precipitation. The records show that a measurable quantity of rain fell on 19 days In the month, and that 16 days were technically cloudy, that is, four-fifths of the sky was overcast all day. These cloudy, dispiriting days, combined with those in which a thunderstorm was on tap for but a few hours, account to Mr. Fassig for the impression that more rain fell in May than in any other 31-day period since Noah's expedition.

April, on the other hand, was not only full of threats of wetness, but delivered the goods, Its rainfall being 5.53 inches, two above the normal. For Positions In Fire Department.

A Shoclc To His Friends. Major Alexander Shaw, who was a close business and personal friend of Mr. Deford, was distressed to hear of his sudden death. When told of Mr. Deford's demise by a reporter of The Sux, Major Shaw said: "What, Tom Deford dead! I am shocked to hear it.

He was a thorough business man and a most excellent citizen. -I have not seen so much of him for the past sev eral years, but I knew him well. He was a man of the strictest integrity and honorable business principles." Mr. J. B.

Ramsay, president of the National Mechanics Bank, of which Mr. Deford was a director, learned of Mr. Deford's death yesterday afternoon and called at the Deford residence during the evening. To a reporter of Tirn Sun he said: "I have learned of Mr. Deford's death with the greatest regret.

He was the best of citizens and a representative business man. He had the confidence and esteem of everyone who knew him. His death is a loss to the community." Mr. W. W.

Spence also expressed his sorrow at the news of Mr. Deford's death. "I knew him well," said this veteran financier, "and I had a great regard for his sterling qualities as citizen and business man. He was an excellent citizen and a good business man." Former Mayor F. C.

L0REE TAKES HOLD Assures Mayor That Baltimore's Interests Will Be Proteetcd. Mr.

L. F. Loree, the new president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, entered upon the discharge of his duties Saturday, and his first official act was to announoe the appointment of Mr. George L. Potter as general manager in charge of the operating department.

Mr. Potter then announced the appointment of Mr. Arthur Hale to be assistant general manager. These appointments had already been indicated by Mr. Loree when he arrived Baltimore on Friday.

Mr. Potter also appointed Messrs. L. Haas, J. T.

Leary and T. J. Foley to be assistants to the general manager. The three last named are young men who have been hitherto in the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and it Is understood that they will not take the places of any of those now with the Baltimore and Ohio. With the beginning of the new month Mr.

John K. Cowen, who resigned from the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio to become general counsel of the company, also formally entered upon his legal duties. He will, however, be closely associated with Mr. Loree until he familiarizes himself with the Baltimore and Ohio and its affairs. Mr.

Daniel Willard, who was acting general manager of the Baltimore and Ohio during the month of May, was at the offices of the company for a little while Saturday, but left early to prepare to leave for New York to enter the service of he Erie, where he will be associated with President Underwood. President Loree called upon Mayor Hayes Saturday and declared that the new administration in the Baltimore and Ohio would conduct the business of the company without discriminating in any way against the interests of Baltimore, thus reiterating what he had already said through The Sux regarding the trade of this city and port. The Mayor recalled the privileges and exemptions enjoyed by the railroad company and remarked that they imposed an obligation upon It. In reply Mr. Loree assured the Mayor that his administration did not propose to do anything to injure the business cf this section, but, on the contrary, would every effort to benefit and increase It.

WILL MURRAY LEATE B. AND O.J Rnmor Mentions Him In Connection With The Lake Shore. A dispatch to The Sun from Cleveland Is as follows: "The Leader today says: An Interesting rumor Is current in connection with the conditions on the Lake Shore and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Conditions on. the Baltimore and Ohio are said to be uncongenial to Oscar G.

Murray, first vice-president, in charge of the traffic of that road. The Lake Shore presidency demands at this time a traffic manager, and Mr. Murray Is one of the best in the country." The rumor is current in Cleveland that Mr. Murray may become Mr. Newman's successor." Neither Mr.

Murray nor President Loree, of the Baltimore and Ohio, could be seen yesterday. A close friend of Mr. Murray said: "Many of the railroad rumors originating in Cleveland recently have proved correct, but I scarcely think this is. If it is true, probably no one in Baltimore besides Mr. Murray knows anything of it.

These reports about his present position being uncongenial are greatly exaggerated. I can assure you that the plans for the future of the Baltimore and Ohio do not contemplate a change in the first vice-presidency." SAT IT CANNOT BE DONE Members Of Stock Exchange Hold Membership Is Not Taxable. Baltimore financial circles are alive with gossip concerning the proposition of the Appeal Tax Court to assess memberships in the Stock Exchange for purposes of taxation. Mr. Derlck Fahnestock, president of the Exchange, said that he did not think the memberships could be legally taxed; the Exchange did not Issue any certificates to its members." As he had been summoned, he would, of course, appear before the court.

Another member of the Exchange said that he had been Informed by a lawyer to the effect that notax could be Imposed upon such an Investment because It was non-dividend paying. The members did not receive any dividends from tho money they paid for their seat in the Exchange. Mr. F. T.

Redwood said: "If a man refuses to pay such a tax what could the tax officers do. There is no property in the form of a certificate which they could seize and sell for taxes. The membership Is Intangible. Besides, I am inclined to think that such a tax would be double taxation. The brokers pay a State tax of $75 a year and an Internal revenue tax of $50 a year.

Then there Is a war tax levied on sales of stocks." Mr. Edward H. Thomson said: "If memberships of the Stock Exchange can be taxed they can tax anything. I don't see bow It can be done; there Is nothing tangible to tax. A New York decision is against such a tax." Mr.

Bartlett S. Johnston expressed himself thus: "The question has been decided long ago. The Stock Exchange Is only a partnership and the memberships cannot be taxed." Other opinions among the brokers were of the same general nature as these here given. In explanation of the method of transferring a seat upon the Stock Exchange when one of them is sold, a broker said that the purchaser acquired the right of the seller, but the new man had to be elected to membership in the usual manner bef ore he could trade upon the floor. 1 Union Square Chnrch's Anniversary The forty-sixth anniversary of the Union Square Methodist Episcopal Church, Lombard and Calhoun streetsy was celebrated yesterday.

Largo congregations were present at the morning, afternoon and evening services. The anniversary sermon was preached by Rev. J. A. Price, of Westminster.

Marine led an experience meeting. In the evening there was a memorial service for the deceased members of the congregation conducted by Rev. George C. Bacon, the pastor. Fourteen members of the church have died during the past j-ear.

Graves of Elks not burled in the lodge's plot were -designated with a purple flag bearing an elk's head. After the graves had all been covered with flowers the Elks gathered at the "Rest," in the center of which is a monument, surmounted by a life-sized elk in bronze. The exercises began with the reading of the ritual by Exalted Ruler J.
