State Committee Meets Today. Mayor Tells Delegation People Cannot Bear Expense. SHIPPERS WORKING FOR LOAN Trade Bodies Informed Action May Be Taken When Council Reconvenes. That the harbor will not be deepened at the expense of the general tax levy was made clear by Mayor Preston yesterday to representatives of the Merchants "and Manufacturers' Association, Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and the Rotary Club, who went before the Board of Estimates in the interest of the project.

He said the levy could not stand it. Robert Ramsay, the first speaker, told the Mayor that the shipping interests will support the proposed loan of $1,500,000 for deepening the harbor, building the third section of the Key Highway and widening St. Paul street, from Centre to Saratoga streets, as an approach to the waterfront. The Mayor did not commit himself to the loan, but promised that the board would take it under consideration within the next 10 days. "I have felt anxious to get through this admiristration without putting any additional loans on the people," said the Mayor.

"The time is coming when we shall have to stop loans for awhile. They are becoming burdensome to the taxpayers." The delegations were before the board, it seems, because of a suggestion the Mayor made a week ago that $1,500,000 worth of the $3,000,000 harbor loan be submitted to the voters at the November election. Mr. Rafnsay, Thomas Foley Hisky, of the Rotary Club Henry G. Hilken and Robert J.

Beacham, of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, urged better facilities for getting big shins into the harbor. They said they were anxious that something be done immediately. John Hubert, president of the Second Branch City Council, said it was impossible for the city to do anything now, for the reason that the Council is not in session. The Mayor said the $3,000,000 sewerage loan and asked that it be placed in the minutes of the board for the purpose of inviting publicdiscussion of the proposition, lie said the board expects to reach some definite conclusion "as to what shall be done in the matter of putting the question before the people in the fall and having them pass upon it." The Mayor said the $3,000,000 sewerage loan to be submitted to the people in November was necessary to complete the system.

The Baltimore nurses, who are part of the Red Cross volunteer organization, have not vet been ordered to ronnpt in vnm Slightly Wounded By Patrolman Near Canton Car Barn. FUSIIADE ON EASTERN AVENUE Ramors Of Dynamite Threats Cause Close Guard To Be Kept On Sparrows Point Line. "Roughhowse" tactics on the part of a number of men who have Joined in the efforts of the strike organizers to force the United Railways men intoa strike resulted last night in one man getting a flesh' wound in the leg and caused considerable excitement In the neighborhood of the Canton car barn. The Injured man, George Mauler, 29 years 511 Bouldln street, Canton, a brewery worker, was shot in the left foot by patrolman John Leonard. Mauler's brother, Joseph is a dispatcher at the Canton car barn, and last night Mauler went" there In company with several others and upbraided his brother for not going on strike, saying "I'm going to fix you scabs for what you did last night." An altercation followed, a number of the railway employes going to the aid of Joseph Mauler, and in a little time a merry fight was in progress.

Policemen Leonard and Stein got Into it and arrested George Mauler and another man and started to the police station with them. Patrolman Used Pistol. When they got near the saloon of James W. Regan, at Seventh street and Canton avenue, the men broke away from the policemen and attempted to force their way into Regan's saloon! the door of which had been shut in their faces. Patrolman Leonard, who had been knocked down In the scrimmage, drew his pistol and fired two shots, one of which hit ifl.

the left foot. He immediately threw up his hands, yellin.g, "You've got me! I'm all in!" and walked with the policeman for a block with his hands heldjiigh. The other man escaped. Henry Wachter, who had also been arrested as a result of the fight at the car barn," was locked up at the Canton Police Station, while Mauler was taken off to St. Joseph's Hospital to have the wound in his foot dressed.

Stones Answered With Bnllets. About 11 o'clock word was sent in to the car barn that the strike organizers were putting out the lights along the Back River and Sparrows Point line. A special car with six policemen, under command of Patrolman Flynn and Line Superintendent Lawrence, and 14 employes of the company who had volunteered for the service, was sent down the line. When the car was stopped at at cut-off at Thirty-eighth street and Eastern avenue to throw the switch the car was bombarded with stones by some men who had hidden in the bushes and weeds. The policemen and car employes jumped off, but the men who did the throwing scattered.

Someone fired a shot from the darkness and the policemen immediately responded with a fusillade. No one was struck, although the shooting created a great deal of excitement in the neighborhood. The bushes in the neighborhood were beaten, but no one was found. The car was then run down the line to Dundalk, but no one was seen, although more than half the lights, many of them at road crossings, were found to have been tampered with. Marshal Creamer later sent out a second car with a number of policemen and railroad employes, the latter being armed with stout clubs, and a close watch was kept on the line all night.

Rumor Of Dynamite Threats. Threats have been made, it is reported, that the viaduct over the Pennsylvania railroad tracks would be dynamited and that the trolley wires would be cut. Little credence was put in the dynamite story, but a close guard is being kept all along the line. It is believed that those who are creating the trouble in the Canton neighborhood are men who always mix up in labor troubles without being directly Interested one way or the other. Life Taken Out Of It.

The events of Monday night, coupled with the rain of yesterday morning, seemed to have taken most of the life out of the! st arA n'hof iitfin in it was given its quietus by Justice Dean at the Northeastern Police Station when he imposed fines -rrrnging from $2 to $25 on a number of men who had been arrested in connection with the disorders, and committed others to jail for court in default of bail. Such a farcical ending of the campaign that has been going on in Baltimore for two or three months in the efforts to organize the United's men. in which the men have been buttonholed at every opportunity and every possible ef- fleers of the company were their enemies, has. It is believed, killed the efforts at organization for a long time to come, and that nothing more will be heard of the possibility of a street car strike, in spite or ine nair-neartea declaration or tne organizers to tne contrary. Company officials were all up early and squads of policemen were at each car barn.

Officials of the company say that not a man of 2,500 to 3,000 employes deserted, but 11 1s sai1 Dv others and claimed by the strike workers that one man did quit, throwing down his controller handle and saying "I'm through." President House Praises Men, President House yesterday expressed the highest of the loyalty of the men to the company, and said it would not be forgotten either by himself or the other officers and directors of the company. "The officials of the company," he said, "try to be the friends of the men as well as their employers. We are all working for the public and trying to make the street car service of Baltimore the very best in the country, in this I think we are succeeding. "There has been no complaint on account of pay or working conditions. The men know that we are paying them as much as the system can afford to pay, and that when we can afford to pay more we will do so.

Our record shows that. Our pension system, voluntarily established, shows that we have the real interests of the men at heart and desire to reward long and faithful service. Hundreds of men in our employ will testify to the manner In which the company has come to their aid when they have been sick or in trouble. "In the face of all these things I want to say that the attempt that has been aiade to break into this family or ours, and to array the men against the company, not only to the Injury of the interests of both the men and the company, but to the serious inconvenience of the riding public, is little short of criminal. It certainly is outrageous, and I do not believe for a moment that it has the sympathy or even the Interest of the working people of the city." Shea Illumes Police.

P. J. Shea, organizer of the association, said yesterday that the fight would be kept up until the men were organized even If the matter had to be taken into the Federal courts, although he was rather hazy about the grounds for taking the matter to court. But he denied absolutely that the organizers "of the association had counseled violence in any way in connection with the proceedings of Monday night. He blamed thf police largely for the failure of strike and said it would have been pulled off all right if the police had not interfered.

Elchelbersrer States Grievances. H. L. Elchelberger, who Is associated in the movement for the organization of the United's men, paid that the men had grievances which had caused them to agitate the formation of an organization. The Baltimore Federation of Labor being appealed to by the men working for the company.

It made application to the Amalgamated Association, which is affiliated-with the American Federation of Labor, which sent P. J. Shea to Baltimore. "I was detailed," he said, "to assist Mr. Shea and the carmen.

I am a native of Baltimore and a citizen here. After looking over the situation we decided that the men desired organization. Increase in pay was not the real matter Involved, but a general change in condition was desired. Disposition Of Cases.

Edward C. Wilson President Of State Federation, Make A Stirring: Speech. Housekeepers of Baltimore propose to break the backbone of the high cost of living which has become acute since the outbreak of the great European war. At a meeting held under the ansplces of the State Federation of Women's Clubs yes-te-day at the Anindell Club It was decided to call on 100 housekeepers, men as. well as women, to contribute $10 each to a fund to start a co-operative store where pro luce -ran ho nMninprl at reasonable figures.

A committee was named by Dr. A. R. Pohme, who presided at the meeting, to call on the various civic organizations of tne fitv and ask their co-operation In the plan These who wish to know more of the plan or to join in the movement fire requested to. send their rames as as possible to Mrs.

Every woman present was able to pay for the best groceries and vegetables obtainable) but all gave the greatest consideration to those who were not so fortunate as they, and at the same time expressed the feeling that they would refuse longer to be the victims of dealers who raised their prices merely because a war was prof ress. Letters and statistics were introduced to prove that the crops this year are the largest in years and that vegetables and fruit? ore actually rotting on trees, vines and bushes simply because the farmers will not take the trouble to send them to market and rerelve a mere pittance, while the commission merchants and the retailers are asking sky-rocket prices. Two resolutions were unanimously adopted. The first was to the effect that the meeting approved any action the city or State might take or has taken to cooperate with the Federal Government in the investigation of the cost of food that is being conducted by the United States District Attorney's office here. The second commended Mayor Preston's efforts to find some plan for the reduction of the price of food.

Dr. Dohme Leads Off. Dr. Dohme opened the meeting by telling what had been done by committees of the City Wide Congress in investigating the high cost of living two years ago. He summarized the contents of the 1,000 letters he received at that time and told of booklets dealing with the question which have been written by experts.

He told of the co-operation store plan and its benefits. He then proposed national legislation that would fix the price of foods and said that since the Government had legislated that for the use of money not over 6 per cent, could be charged, it could regulate the prices of food so that the dealer and the middleman could be prevented from taking more than a just profit. He pointed out that the cost of living would not De reduced until the people as a whole rose up and demanded that it be done. He added that the vice problem was a simili- tude and thnt "Dr. Kelly nor anyone eise wipe out vice unless the people as a whole rise up and demand its nation.

Tells 111 eaerai Assistant District Attorney Connelly, who has charge of the Government investigation of food prices here, was called upon and stated that he wanted and would heed any information that the federation, its members or any individual could give him. He complained that the housekeepers of the city and others had not given the co-operation that he expected in the investigation, for which the Government had sent two special investigators here. "An organization like the Federation of Women's Clubs can do more to reduce the cost, of foods than the Congress of the United States. If you could devise some plan by which the farmers would get good prices for their produce, then the farmers could get rid of the tomatoes and potatoes and cantaloupes that are rotting on their places." Or. Magrnuer To Help.

Dr. J. W. Magruder, general secretary of the Federated Charities, told the "human side of the domestic tragedy," and related incidents families of real worth were being disintegrated and ruined because they could not hold together with the price of foods so high. He said he wa ready to help in any way he was able to find a solution.

3lrn. Wilson Points Way. (Mrs. Wilson said that she could pledge ihe support of the federation of which she was the head and which is composed of fJ.SOO "members in any movement for the lowering of prices. She advised that every housewife must buy where prices are lowest and advised them to watch the advertisements in the daily press, to in-- spect everything they bought and especially to take note of scales when buying meats and see that they got the amount they were paying for.

Mrs. Wilson said that on her own place she found that she had many more grapes than her family could use. She went to a commission merchant, who promised her 50 cents a basket for the grapes. She tilled about 20 peach baskets with grapes, sent them to the commission merchant and when she went for payment was told that 30 cents a basket was all that could be given her. She found out to whom the grapes had been sold and went there to buy some back.

She was asked 20 cents each for small baskets of the grapes. The commission merchant was filling about four small baskets, selling at 20 cents each, from the larger baskets, for which he paid her SO cents. Proposes Co-Operative Store. A letter was read by Mrs. Wilson from M.

B. Nichols, president of the Talbot County Produce Exchange, who shipped several crates of cantaloupes to this city. He said he received from the commission merchant one-third of a cent each for them and learned that they were afterward sold for from 5 to 10 cents each. FOOD PROBE REPORT OUT Attorney-General Says- Baltimore Investigation Will Be Pressed. The report of the United States District Attorney upon his investigations into the present high level of food prices was made public at the Department of Justice in Washington yesterday, says a Sun Bureau dispatch.

This report shows that the prices have risen amazingly on the Baltimore market, but the District Attorney does not indicate whether or not these prices are the result of conspiracy. The statement of the Attorney-General, based upon the report of the District Attorney, is as follows "The United States Attorney at Balti more reports a general advance in the price of foodstuffs and states that the results of his investigations last disclose the following advances "Raw sugar, 52.25 per 100 pounds gran ulated sugar, $3 per 300 pounds; some grades of coffee, 6 cents a pound; some grrdes of tea, 32 cents a pound; flour, $1 to $1.60 a barrel beef, 4 to 5 cents a pound veal, 4 cents a poind canned vegetables, 3 cents a can olive oil, 55 cents a gallon eggs, 3 to 5 cents a dozen butter, 4 to 6 cents a pound lemons, $3.50 a box beans, $1 a bushel, and cotton oil from 25 cents at quart. "He also states that there has been a radical change upward in the cost of foreign wines. The high price of meats he believes to be due to the quotations by the Irrge packing houses. tie states that the highest prices were reached during the week of August 10 that the tendency last week was downward, and that the retail prices dropped on an average of 10 per cent This, he says, is undoubtedly due to the investigation now being conducted In taKen to court: $rt) ball.

as those In mnnvifort made t0 Persuade them that the of U.S. TO REGRET, HE SAYS Consul Luederitz Declares Germans Are Embittered. JAPANESE SITUATION IS CITED America Should Have Interceded Points To Pacific Predicts Fall Of The British Tfavy. "The United States will regret very, very much in later years its present attitude toward Germany," was the declaration yesterday of Carl A. Luederitz, German Consul at this port.

He said that' the Germans residing here felt extremely bitter toward the United btates for its "many instances of ill-feeling" toward the Kaiser's subjects. The Consul held that the United States should have urgently requested Japan to keep out of the fray at this time, and expressed the belief that had this been done by Washington the bitterness would have been allayed to a great extent. Mr. Luederitz frankly admitted that there were about 800 German reservists in this city who were awaiting an opportunity to embark for the fatherland, and that as soon as a port was open for their reception a ship would sail from this port or from New York for the warring empire. The Consul has the names and addresses of the reservists, and he can call, them together within a few hours.

The reservists, who have served in the army for from one to three years, are prepared to shoulder a gun and get into the fight. Six near relatives of the Consul are now at the front, and he is eagerly watching the news from the battle line. Three of his relatives were with the Ninth Army Corps, which took part In the siege at Liege, and when the first reports of 25,000 killed reached this country he was somewhat worried. Since then he has had official reports that only about 2,500 men were killed and wounded. Predicts German Snccess.

Defending Germany's course in the inva sion of Belgium and stating that all Germans asked was fair play Mr Luede ritz expressed the opinion that Germany ultimately would be the victor. He thinks the war wi.i continue for some time, and as he has talked with high German officials he speaks with sime authority. "Much has been said in the American press about the invasion of Belgium and the so-called disregard of the treaty which made that country neutral. I want to tell you that if Germany had not first invaded Belgium France would havevdone so. The Belgium troops are commanded by French officers and French and English money built and maintained the forts that we have been hearing so much about recently.

It was most proper then that Germany should invade the country when danger threatened. "The Kaiser has been condemned for starting the war. I was in Germany recently and know that the Russians were building a military railroad just over the border from Germany. The railroad was "being financed by France. Russian and French airships were continually circling over the German border.

We were being harasse-bn-all sides and when the proper time came to demand reparation for the insults the Kaiser struck, aud struck hard. Reports printed in the American newspapers were hostile to Germany. The press association sending out the reports has headquarters in London and all the special correspondents throughout Germany are Englishmen, so you could not expect to get news through that was favorable to Germany. Soon public opinion was molded against Germany. Right here in Baltimore, where thousands of families are directly affected, the feeling against America is bitter and will not wear off.

"And why should this be the case? Look at my consular report for 1913. It shows Germany to be America's Vest customer. In that year 80 German ships and 203 ships of Great Britain cleared from this port. The 80 German ships took just half the cargo that the other 203 carried. The imports from Germany to the port of Baltimore was $8,717,000.

From Great Britain they were $7,600,000. German Exports Greater. "The exports from Baltimore to Germany amounted to $41,780,000, while those to Great Britain amounted to only Germany showed her faith In Baltimore, while Englana bought elsewhere. "America fails to observe the danpor Lthat threatens it from Japan. That is what I mean when I say that America will regret its attitude toward Germany.

Heretofore Germany has stood between America and Japan. The Japanese want the supremacy of the Pacific, and such supremacy would be a menace to America. WThen Germany is busy fighting the Allied England 'sicks' the Japanese on Germany and America stands by and sees it done. That is the greatest ingratitude. "Have Americans asked themselves why England got Japan into the war? ell you what I have reason to believe is true.

The English fleet is badly crippled. The world does not know it yet, but it will soon learn it. I have reason to suspect that the German torpedo flotilla has half crippled the English fleet. The big German fleet is waiting for the proper moment to steam out of Wilhelmshaven and get into action, and then it will be fighting unto the very death. "If you will recall, a Danish steamer has reported that the masts of six ships were seen rising from the ocean, and England has warned her people to be ready to expect unfavorable reports.

When those reports are given out I believe the world will shudder PEDDLER'S SPINE SPRAINED Willing To Figrnt For Kaiser As Soon As He Recovers. Gustav Fritz, who one year ago was living in Wurttemberg, dermany, was severely injured yesterday on the Sulphur Spring road, near the Washington Boulevard, when a sand bank caved in on him His spine was sprained and he was injured internally. At the time of the accident he was resting by the roadside in his hand-made peddler's cart. He was found by Fred Link, a farmer. After he was taken to the Franklin Square Hospital in the Mount Wlnans patrol wagon he regained I and said that he would go back to Ger many to fight, if needed, as soon as he got better.

n0 one was sight for chairman of the Republican State Central Committee in place of John Hanna, when the leaders and workers gathered at the Re-nnert for conferences preliminary to the meeting to- day of the committee at the Rennert. Nor was any one in sight, apparently, except State Senator Frank E. 0f Cecil county, for the Republican nomt nation for Congress in the First district. That nomination has been tendered pretty generally in the last two days and some of the leaders seem to have lost hope that anyone will take it except Williams, and they seem to object to him. The Second district nomination has been offered to Dr.

A. R. L. Dohme, president of the City- Wide Congress, who lives in Roland Park, and- he has promised to glye an answer this morning. There was not a very large crowd present.

Governor Goldsborough was at his homo in Cambridge, and his chief adviser, Secretary of State Graham, did not put in appearance. The Goldsborough wing of the party was represented by Mr. Hanna, W. Bladen Lowndes and Roads Commissioner Thomas Parran. Jackson Is Absent.

Former Senator P. Jackson was not there, either. It was reported some days ago that his knee injured on the golf sufficiently for him ad that he had been urged to be oa and; for one reason or an- as not pcvieu tu arrive luuay. aianon a. Jtiumpn- rays, of Salisbury, his cousin and political associate, had not arrived at a late hour.

There is a persistent report among Re publicans that Jackson is "getting from under." Not that he means to relinquish his leadership or the control on his possession, but that he intends to avoid such action as will carry with it an obligation to pay out much money. Edward C. Carrington, it is said, has not and will not ask Jackson for financial aid and stands ready to do his part himself. But there are others who look to Jackson, notably, it appears, those interested in the First district situation. Stone And Carrington Friendly.

Collector Stone was on hand, as was Mr. Carrington, and they apeared to be on the friendliest of terms. Mr. Stone had rooms, which were lined by his followers in the city and were visited by those of the county men. City Chairman George W.

Padgett acted as host when the Collector was not about. Stone was in great good humor. He had "come back." Except the night before the State convention last year, when he was about the' hotel for a time, but when the Goldsborough forces were in control, Stone has been conspicuously absent from such gatherings since the primary fight in the spring of 1912, when Roosevelt carried the State. That result, added to the cold shoul- der given him by the State administration had put him In a hole. But his victory in the Fifth Congressional district, where his choice for the nomination, Sydney E.

Mudd, put it over on the Goldsborough candidate, Oliver Metzerott, resulting in the latter's withdrawal, and the manner in which the Goldsborough people fell down on getting a candidate for the Senatorial nomination against Carrington, contributed to a demonstration of strength that has put Stone back on the political map in distinct fashion. Conference Over Plans. Rather late in the evening there was a conference between Stone, Hanna, Lowndes, Carrington and a few others at which plans for today's proceedings of the committee were gone over. It is probable that a committee of seven, chosen so as to make it non-factional, will be named to select a State chairman, subject to the ratification of the executive committee of the State Central Committee. In the meantime the secretary of the committee, Galen L.

Tait, of Montgomery county, probably will run things. Present, in addition to those mentioned, were: John A. Janetzke, candidate for Congress in the Third district; Bralnard H. Warner candidate for the nomination in the Sixth district; Thomas Dawson, of Montgomery county; Harry Skipper, William T. Wilkinson, George W.

Cameron, William Stewart, Henry M. McCul-lough, Stats Senator Frank E. Williams and Lindsav C. Spencer. CLOSES SEASON TOMORROW Free Summer Excursion Has Had HiS-hly Successful Year.

With the last of Its 10 excursions to be given tomorrow to poor persons of the city, the Free Simmer Excursion Society will close Its forty-third season. This year perhaps has been the most successful in the history of the society The grounds at Chcsterwood, on Bear creek, are kept in perfect condition and are a source of delight to the hundreds given recreation upon them each year. This season an up-to-date bath house was erected to supplant the former one. A sufficient number of rooms were provided so that there would be no overcrowding. A larger supply of bathing suits and towels were nlstr procured.

A hospital bed has been placed in the doctor's tent for the convenience of those needing medical attention and the furnishings were donated by several of the members. The bed, however, has been little used, for few. cases of sickness or injury have occurred. A large boiler has also been 'installed that the drinking cups may be thoroughly sterilized after each meal. The women of Baltimore and of the United States will probably have to do without French perfumes, kid gloves, cluny lace, oriental carpets, and like luxuries of the household and person if the war Is long continued.

Letters are being received by the big Baltimore dry goods merchants from agents of European and English manufacturers and merchants stating that all goods sent are subject to the risks of war or that no goods whatever can be sent and that none can be made on account both of lack of men and lack of raw material. One of the largest firms dealing In oriental rugs has sent out notice that supply from Turkey and Persia and the East has been shut off absolutely. A large manufac- turer in Jiassacnuseiis sent out duu most in the same mail that owing to grow ing want of yarns he would soon have to curtail manufacture or shut down entirely. Paris Business Disorganized. An agent of a firm in Paris wrote that business was "slightly disorganized at present" and that "there might be a delay of a few weeks on account of present conditions." The supply of the finer grades of kid gloves, all of which come from Southern Germany and adjoining territories, has also been cut short and no more are "in the making." And no American manufacturer can fill the shortage because the raw ma 1 il i ii i ml okon'hpm Arid I it would take Tlong ttoe for Americans to begin manufacturing the finest qualities of laces, rugs and perfumes.

One merchant in discussing the situation yesterday said that nothing absolutely necessary which could not be made and bought in Amer'ca would be cut off by the European war, as threatens in drug circles. "For the Americans are an ingenious people," he said, "and when the ladies cannot get the finest kid gloves they buy heavier ones or as a last resort can go without them and still enjoy life. When they come to buy lace they will probably not get what they want, but they will take another kind and let it go at that. If they are buying a rug, they may not be able to get an oriental, but they can get something to cover the floor. Merchants Are Pnzzled.

"The ladies will still be clothed, but we merchants who import much goods do not know what to -do. If we have already ordered shipments or have a chance to order shipments, we have no assurance whatever that we can get them. Agnts in Paris write that the goods are there, but cannot be gotten to the seaport. And if they are in a seaport there are no vessels to get them farther toward America. And If they start, a warship is likely to capture them as prizes.

We may lose tlje shipment whatever happens. "I received a letter today from a Paris firm stating that practically" all Its force of men have gone to war. I know of another international firm with one brother, head of the Paris branch, in the French Army; another brother, head of the Berlin branch, in the German Army, and the third brother In New York with nothing to do because he can get no goods. "Americans, no matter how smart, cannot jump in and fill the demand caused by this condition in a fortnight or in six months if at all. We will simply have to buy something else or do without.

We have done without before." CAR HITS FUNERAL CARRIAGE Three ''Women In Vehicle Escape Withont Injury Yesterday afternoon, when a southbound Druid Hill avenue car cut through a funeral procession going west on Lafayette avenue, one of the teams had too much Impetus to stop, and there was a collision in which the two horses were knocked down and bruised and the carriage considerably damaged. The funeral was that of George H. King, 1515 Aisqulth street. The motorman thought that the line would divide and allow his car to continue. But the negio driver was unable to check his team In time.

In the carriage, which bj chance was not overturned, were Mrs. Emma Car-back, 519 East Twenty-seventh street; Mrs. Orlando King, 519 East Twenty-seventh street, and Mrs. Charles Lauch-stauftor, 1913 North Castle street. No one was injured.

MASSES FOR THE LATE POPE Pontifical Requiems Begin In The Catholic Churches. Plans are nearly completed for the pontifical requiem mass that will be said at 10 o'clock, tomorrow morning at the Cathedral for the late Pope Pius X. Archbishop John "Bonzqno, Apostolic Delegate to the United Statei will be the celebrant of the mass and Brehop D. J. O'Connell, of Richmond, 'will deliver the eulogy.

of the Shep-pard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, and head of the Maryland Branch of Red Cross Nurses, said last night that she bad received no official (nmrniinioatinn n- from national headquarters. She added that the 150 Maryland, nurses have been awaiting orders for two weeks. Up to 11 o'clock yesterday morning had been subscribed by the Ger mans of Baltimore for the relief of the widows and orphans of the German sol-1 dlers in Europe. Of this sum $4,340.20 was raised by the Independent Citizens Union, working in connection wit'i the National German-American Alliance, which has collected about $2,000. Treasurer Martin Meyerdirck said last night that about 100 per cent, more than he expected was subscribed.

Many con tributors stated that they would give a certain amount regularly each week or month so long as needed for immediate relief. 1 On the Servian side of the relief offerings, two other men have volunteered to go to Servia to servo in the war hospitals. They are John McGill and John Davies, who are willing to he sent as field nurses. With the two young physicians, Drs. Charles A.

Young and William Brandon, the Baltimore volunteers now number four in response to the appeal of Madame Grouitch, through George Dobbin Tennl-man. It is understood that they will be sent by the Red Cross Society. MAYORSrSESSI0N AT FRISCO Baltimore Executive Invited To Panama-Pacific Conference. In a letter he received yesterday from John Purroy Mitchel, Mayor of New York, Mayor Preston Is asked for bis opinion of a movement to hold a national conference of Mayors and City- Commissioners at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco next summer "to consider those phases of municipal administration that are of vital interest to all cities in the United States and to stimulate further the municipal awakening that is sweeping over the country." Mayor Mitchel states that the suggestion was made at the recent annual conference of city officials of New York State, when a committee was appointed to bring the question to the attention of the municipal executives of the nation and to offer to arrange such a conference. The movement, he says, has received the indorsement of Mayor James Rudolph, of San Francisco, and Mayor Frank K.

David McAuley, 5S years old. 520 West Cross street, who died Monday morning at bis home from injuries received when he was thrown from an Orleans street car which ran into an open switch on the Light street bridge the previous night, came to his death "from fractured skull, caused by falling from the car and superinduced by the motorman's failure to prevent the car from entering an open switch on the bridge." This was the verdict of a jury summoned by Coroner Grempler at the Southern Police Station last night.

August Vogel, 1427 Woodall street, was the motorman of the car, which was bound north on the bridge when the accident occurred. It was testified that he failed to throw the switch at a siding on the bridge. The jolt when the car ran Into the switch threw McAuley off..
