4ftl HIS KOMfATION FOR SENATOR DAVID J. LEWIS WOMEN OF FIFTH IN ROW Mrs. Washington Bowie Questions Right Of Tent Auxiliary To Make Appeals. NOT OFFICERS' WIVES, SHE SAYS Chairman Of Board Denies That Other Body Has Authority Prom Colonel Iliukley. The first rift among the women's organizations appeared yesterday morning at a meeting of the Woman's Board of the Fifth Regiment, when Mrs.

Wash-: ington Bowie, chairman of the board, denied the authority of the Ly-ce ini Tent Auxiliary of the Woman's Board to send out applications in the name of the board for donations to the Lyceum Tent. Such action, she declared, injured, rather than aided the work being carried on for the relief of the guardsmen's families. denied that the Tent Auxiliary lias had any official recognition or authority from Colonel Ilinkley, and said that people interested in the tent were riot officers' wives, but members of Chaplain Dame's own church. "The Lyceum Tent Auxiliary," said Mrs. Bowie, "recently circulated cards petitioning for help for the tent in the name of the Fifth Regiment Armory.

But they were not authorized to do such a thing. As a result of their attitude many persons, to whom petitions were sent asking that they contribute toward the relief work among dependent families of guardsmen, have already aided in sending the men at the border comforts which are not at all essential." It is also alleged by the board that the members of the Lyceum Tent Auxiliary have not only not consulted the chairman, but have ignored her altogether. "I cannot emphasize too strongly." said Mrs. Bowie, "that our board is the only official representative of the women's work." At a meeting yesterday morning of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Fourth Regiment it was reported that a number of firms which employed men of the Fourth Regiment prior to their departure for the border are co-operating with the auxiliary and are paying over to the families of their former employes a percentage of the men's sal aries. Members arrived at the fourth early laden with the first installment of articles for the comfort and convenience of the members of the regiment now encamped at Eagle Pass.

Mrs. II. S. Barrett is in charge of the arrangements. The same relationship between soldiers and their employers was indicated at the meeting of the woman's board of the Fifth, when it was announced that not only have all firms promising to pay their men kept their word, but that in several cases, where no such contract existed, the employers have voluntarily offered to pay at least a percentage of the wages.

BASEBALL PLAYER DROWNED "William Zink, Of Baltimore All-Stars, Meets Death In West River. Swimming with two other young men, William Zink, of Pen Lucy avenue, Waverly, was drowned yesterday afternoon in the West river, near Shady Side. The body was recovered several hours after the accident, and last night was shipped to this city. Zink had been in Southern Maryland since last Monday, having been a member of the baseball team known as the Baltimore All-Stars. It had been his intention to play several games along the Western Shore before returning to his home in Waverly.

Af ter dinner yesterday Zink, with J. W. Higgins and another young man, went out on the river in a rowboat. When about 50 feet from the shore, Zink proposed a swim. lie dived from the boat, swam around and got back in.

After Zink had taken a second dive, Higgins, who had remained in the boat, heard his companion cry for help. Jumping overboard, he swam to where Zink was last seen, but could find no trace of him. Two hours later the body came to the surface, Zink was well known mi local amateur ball circles, being one of the leading players in the Insurance League. He was a member of the Fidelity and Safe Deposit Company team. G.

0. P. LEADERS TO CONFER Galen L. Tait And O. E.

Weller Will Attend Republican Meeting At Xational Headquarters. Chairman Galen L. Tait of the Republican State Central Committee and former Roads Chairman O. E. Weller will go to New York tomorrow to confr with party leaders at national headquarters.

The Republicans expect the formal notification of former Justice Hughes, which will take place next Mon-dav, to be their "getaway" in the campaign, and the local men are anxious to work in absolute harmony with the other agencies. While in New York Mr. Tait and Mr. Weller probably will discuss with the national leaders the formation of the Maryland branch of the Hughes Alliance, an auxiliary organization which is being got under way all over the country and which will be under Mr. Wellers charge in this State.

Thursday Mr. Tait and Mr. Weller will drop down to Philadelphia and meet former Senator William P. Jackson and Dr. Joseph I.

France, the Republican candidate for United States Senator. There will be a conference at which plans for the local campaign will be gone into thoroughly. Monument Dealers To Meet. The mid-summer meeting of the Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia Retail Monument Dealers' Association will be held tomorrow at Chesapeake Beach. Many of the Baltimore members are expected to attend, leaving the foot of Broadway on the st earner Dreamland at 10.30 A.

M. An elaborate program has been arranged, including several addresses. The officers of the association are: President, II. L. Moltz; L.

BSfc ft 4 It ij if r- 1 more Woman. i MILITARY TOUCH ET CLOTHES Mrs. X. D. Powell, Jnst Retnrned, Gives An Inkling; Of What Autumn Styles Will Be.

That London and Paris are not cities mourning as has been supposed, but that their styles and fashions are just as extreme as ever before, is the assertion of Mrs. Nora D. Powell, of the Altamont Hotel, who reached New York last Sunday on the" steamship St. Paul after six weeks of buying for a large retail store here. Mrs.

Powell had as the main object of her trip the purchase of the latest millinery for the winter. In an interview last night she admitted she had expected to find the cities abroad barren of gaiety or any pretence at dress. could never have guessed that England was engaged in war," she said. omen clothes are just as elaborate and fanciful as ever, and except for the number of khaki-clad men, there was nothing to indicate the terrible cloud Under which London is InHnrint' Thorn seems no scarcity of money and no sub- dumg of color. I saw scarcely any mourning not enough to attract my attention, anyhow.

The stores are filled with the most beautiful things, and the output has not been lessened in even the slightest degree. Women have taken the most efficient hold of the men's posi tions and are doing the work just as well." Parisians Wearing Crepe. On the other hand, the most striking thing about Paris, said Mrs. Powell, was the number of children who were dressed in black crepe. Little tots of 4 and 5 years, she said, were gowned in 'loose black frocks, relieved only by a guimpe of white net.

Older children wore the black unrelieved. Black, indeed, formed the most conspicuous note, in sharp contrast to England. Almost every woman wore a touch of black in some or other. Yet, although there was an absence of the brilliant gowns that have figured in other years at the races, Mrs. Powell said that there was no lessening of typical Parisian effects or any absence of style.

Dresses and hats have struck a much simpler note; they were not as vivid in colling, were not as heavily decorated, she said, and were marked by decidedly plainer lines, but the materials were richer than ever. "It was a wonderful picture to see the handsome beautifully-gowned Parisian women pacing the boulevards, rolling before them blind and wounded soldiers in chairs." continued Mrs. Powell. "Two and three would get behind one chair and would walk along the avenues, laughing and chatting with a man who perhaps was minus both legs. What ever the French may have suffered, they have retained their spirits, xhe sparkle for which they have maee themselves famous is still with them, and they laugh and joke, even though their hearts are aching beneath.

Originality Is Lacking. In Paris, also, there was no lack of production due to the withdrawal of the men," said Mrs. Powell. The shops were filled with all manner of lovely things, the one conspicuous lack being in ideas rather than in output. Originality for perhaps the first time is now at a premium, many of them being frankly taken from America.

The appli-qued hat figures, and the hand-painted sport hats have been taken over bodily by the Parisian milliners. Hats were bringing fabulous prices, she said. Taffeta has doubled in value, and can scarcely be purchased at any price, so limited is the supply. Velvet is equally scarce, as well as hatters plush and silk. French felt is being extensively introduced as a substitute, but is not well received.

The fall season, it was stated, would be unique, inasmuch as the shapes would be both extremely large and extremely small. Militarism is mirrored in every creation. Eagles, epaulets, insignia, aeroplanes, tassels, buttons, braids and military designs appear on every one. Many of these designs are embroidered in silk or gold thread. In spite of the danger and the long delays attached to the shipments of goods to America, Paris and London were receiving as heavy orders as in previous years, Mrs.

Powell said. One New York firm gave an order to Louise recently for 575,000. Orders for velvets and taffetas, however, have had to be countermanded, inasmuch as the factories cannot get them out. Colors will be uniformly dark, with purple in the lead. LITTLE GISL HAS PARALYSIS Child Llvinj? At Sledd's Point Is Stricken With Disease, Health Department Learns.

One more infantile paralysis case has developed in the vicinity of Baltimore, but, like the others that have occurred since the scare developed, it is believed to be simply a sporadic case such as is likely to occur at any time, and it is thought there is still no danger of a widespread outbreak of the disease. Dr. William D. Scott reported to the State Health Department that Lois Elizabeth Cox, the 2-year-old daughter of Joseph W. Cox, superintendent of transportation for tjiie, Davison Chemical Company, residing at Sledd's Point, was down with the disease.

The child's right leg is paralyzed from the hip down, although Dr. Scott is hopeful that she will recover. Dr. Scott says he has no idea how she contracted the disease, as all the sanitary conditions in the home are excellent.

It has lifted the parcel traffic of the country from the 300.000,000 parcels carried br express in 1912 to the more than 700,000,000 parcels now car ried by express and parcel post combined. In 1915 this metropolis alone posted about 5,000,000 parcels at an average rate of 12 cents each, when, by express, the rate would have been ol cents, or a gross saving of $1,000,000 to Baltimore city and its trade. Tells Of Xew Post Plan. "I have been at work for some time on a manufacturers and merchants international parcel post through which to help develop our foreign export trade, especialy in South America. It contemplates, the shipment of the ordinary packing units of trade, such as a case of shoes not too bulky or heavy for postal handling, at rates loaded to pay the cost of postal handling plus the ocean freight and railway rates at both ends.

These rates from the Atlantic States to the interior of any of the South Amer ican Republics ought to mean not more than about 3 or 4 cents a pound in normal times, and with proper collect on deliverv facilities would give our exporting manufacturers a means ofj entry into South America, which no other country as yet enjoys. The pres-j ent foreign parcel post is limited to four pounds at 12 cents a pound, ana is almost wholly inadequate, while no other single agency exists carrying the small shipment from consignor to consignee, from our country to foreign destinations. "I recognize, gentlemen of the committee, that a degree of reserve or distrust properly attaches to any new program. We cannot deny that most new programs turn out to be unwise and impracticable, and distrust is justified. But not all new things prove wrong, and many prove highly serviceable to the human family.

There is an alleged constructive statesmanship that is only a congeries of vagaries like the recall of judicial decisions. There is also an alleged conservatism that is only prejudice and unreasoning fear; 'that is afraid to brush down the cobwebs lest the ceiling may The true conservative is, I take it, the man with progressive purpose, who takes the middle ground, who investigates, rejects that which is false, but holds fast to that which is true. Praises Administration. "And why has the Democratic party so signally succeeded? Because it represents the whole people, the farmer, the laborer, the employer, the merchant and sympathizes with each of them enough to understand their needs and their trials. This sympathy give's" it the vision necessary for constructive statesmanship.

"And this great work was largely accomplished while the world was on fire with its greatest war, a war which like some cosmic magnet has sucked in all the other great powers except our own. How much would one of the warring people of Europe be willing to give now for a statesmanship that saved it from the deadly grasp of this war? And yet all this has been done at no sacrifice of honor, and with only that moderate sacrifice of the national wealth necessary to place the country in the way of preparation for any military dangers which may come. "No wonder the opposing party is without a platform worthy of the name. They had nothing to promise, nothing they dared denounce. No wonder it is seeking to recapture the Government through appeals to prejudice, and by combining all the heterogeneous elements in the republic.

No wonder they invaded the silence chamber of the Supreme Court to secure a leader without a record to offend their motley following. Can they win this way? Is the absence of a record a recommendation? And should the Democratic party, of realized promises and achievements; should it be rejected without argument; is it to be condemned rather than rewarded for its devotion, and like Aris-tides be banished for its services to the people? "Business men, farmers, workmen, patriots of Maryland, what think ye of all this constructive work? Should it be impaired by unsympathetic administrators during its initial years of trial? And the country's security among the nations, extraordinarily vouchsafed to us, instead of a fate of fire and sword, by a statesmanship worthy of the greatest examples of history. Peace, this priceless and exceptional peace and security, what think ye of it? How much, I repeat, how much would ye, if one of the war-stricken nations of Europe, be wiling to give now for a statesmanship which had saved it from this war? Should we Americans then imperil it by needlessly transferring its now successful guardianship into untried hands? It was not thus that your fathers builded, or answered to the republic in its trying period of the past. Nor will their children fail to emulate them in patriotic wisdom in this most momentous of occasions for their country since the Civil War." The principal speech of notification was made by Congressman Jesse D. Price, who was chairman of the State convention which ratified the popular nomination of Mr.

Lewis. Mr. Price made a vigorous speech, in which he impressively stated the record of the party, and the record and character of Mr. Lewis. He was followed by Gen.

Joseph B. Seth. of Talbot countv: for mer State Senator William Curran, of Baltimore city; former State Senator Edward M. Hammond, of Howard "Cy" Cummings, of Montgomery, and Governor Harrington. The latter introduced Mr.

Lewis to the gathering. D. J. Loden Attacked. Mr.

Curran rather startled the crowd by an attack upon Daniel J. Loden, chairman of the State Central Committee for Baltimore city, and the right-hand man politically of Mayor Preston. Without mentioning Chairman Loden by name, Mr. Curran, after saying that it was useless to disregard a nasty situation, said "I say a nasty situation, for it is a nasty situation when the chairman of the local State Central Committee, ostensibly representing over half the Democracy of this State, summons to his office representative Democrats and advises and encourages them to absent themselves from the notification meeting." Mr. Curran continued by saying that the city people are not really concerned about Baltimore city, as they say they are, and pointed out that they did not support Congressman Linthicum for the gubernatorial nomination or Mr.

Bruce for the Senatorial nomination. He said their course was dictated by vicious factionalism, and that "if they could not drive the wagon, they jumped out." Mr. Curran's speech was taken to mean that he has lined up definitely with the Smith-Harrington-Kelly people. It has been understood that he was inclined that way. He has not been on good terms with the City Hall for months.

The City Hall influences were opposed to him for the nomination for State's Attorney last year, and the breach has been widened since his defeat in the general election. Mr. Loden said last night that he had heard of the attack and would reply. The Curran speech emphasized the absence of any of the prominent Mahon and Lee people. John J.

Mahon himself was said to be in the mountains. His lieutenants did not take the trouble to go out of town, they simply stayed away from the meeting, and it was understood that word had gone down the line directing them to do so. Except "Cy" Cummings and Surveyor Guy W. Steele, there were no well-known Lee men about. However, Mr.

Cummings stated after the meeting that "Lee is a soldier and will be found supporting the entire ticket." Governor Praises Lewis. Governor Harrington, in closing the speeches notifying Mr. Lewis, referred to the absence of Mahon and Lee men, and to reports that there is serious disaffection among them. He said that no man who called himself a Democrat could escape voting for Mr. Lewis, and that, he did not believe that any Democrats would dare attempt a "cut" against him.

He praised Mr. Lewis' public record in the warmest terms, said he was a true champion of the masses, and Merchants-Mechanics' Reported To Have Tenant In View For Old Mechanics' Building. POE DAVIES SEEK QUARTERS But Banking Firm Refuses To Affirm Report That Negotiations Have Been Closed. There have been reports in the last few days that the Merchants-Mechanics' Dank has in view a tenant for the old Mechanics' Bank Building, at South and German streets. Officials of the Merchants-Mechanics' admit that several offers have come to them for the building, but say that so far these have been only tentative and no definite conclusion has been reached with any of the applicants.

It was said that the banking firm of Poe Davies was in the market for a lease on the building, or at least the old banking quarters of it, but this was not confirmed. Members of the firm admit they are on the lookout for a location which will offer them more con veniences than is possessed in their present quarters at Light and German streets, but they have not closed any negotiations. They have inspected the old Mechanics' Bank as a place likely to suit. It was possibly the fact that members of the firm had been in this building and made a thorough investigation of its conveniences which led to the impres-' uion they were about to close for its occupancy. However, this is denied by the firm and by officials of the bank.

Philip L. I'oc, of the firm of Poe Davies, said yesterday that there were too many desirable locations at this time for them to make hasty decision. They pointed to the fact that the First National Bank Building may soon corne on the market, while the home of the City Xational Bank has been idle since it was absorbed by the First National many months ago. Either of these will suit them as well as the old Mechanics' Bank site. That the firm has in mind a lease rather than a purchase is indicated by the fact that it lias also looked into the old quarters of the New Amsterdam Casualty Company, in the Equitable Building, now occupied temporarily by tlie Maryland ar Kehet Auxiliary.

Directors of the Merchants-Mechanics' Bank will mark down the book value of the old Mechanics' Bank to following the arrangements of the merger between their bank and the First National. This was definitely stated by the otiieials. When the merger of the Merchants' and the Mechanics' Banks was made the old bank building was carried at among the assets. It is known to have eost more. Later the carrying price was reduced to and now it is to be brought down to Real estate dealers and bank officials say it will be easier to make a deal either for a sale or lease at a valuation of 200,000 than at a valuation of The return on the money invested is always taken as tlie basis of real estate transactions.

Therefore, with a rental based on a value of $200,000, the owners of the building are more likely to secure a tenant than they could on a basic value. It is thought this reduction in the carrying price of this building has much to do with the many offers the owners are now receiving. COL. H. C.

JONES ON WAY HOME Friend Hear Commander Of Fourth linn rurjonfili To Attend To Pressing Business. Associates on the Chamber of Commence of Col. Harry C. Jones, now in 'command of the Fourth Maryland Regiment, at Eagle Pass, Texas, said yesterday that he has asked for a temporary furlough, which has been granted and that ho is now on his way to Baltimore to look after some business matters which require his immediate attention. Colonel Jones is the head of the grain firm of II.

C. Jones which has been actively engaged in the export of grain and as dealers in hay and feed for some time. Some have the impression that it may have been the slowness of the Pennsylvania Railroad in adjusting the losses for the grain destroyed in the burning of Elevator No. 3 at Canton some time ago which has called Colonel Jones back. It was admitted by J.

Collin Vincent, who has charge of the export end of the firm's business, that the firm may have ground for a suit against the railroad company in consequence of its delay in reaching a settlement for the losses. RAIN PREVENTS CONCERT Regular Affair In 31 omit Vernon Place Postponed, But Crowd Hears Band. The rain broke up the community concert scheduled for last night in Mount Vernon Place and it will be given tonight, together with the moving-i picture show of Baltimore's attraction and enterprises. In spite of the constant showers and the general unpleasantness of the weather, more than 200 persons gathered at the monument on the chance that the concert would take place. To avoid disappointing these the main hall of Peabody Institute was thfrown open and a concert was given by the Munici-cipal Band, under the direction of O.

P. Steinwald. The community singing boo'k3 were distributed to those who had gathered and with the accompaniment of the band the crowd sang "My Old Kentucky Home," "Suwanee River" and "Baltimore, Our Baltimore." In addition to the community concert that will be given tonight, two others have been arranged on the evenings of August 8 and August 22. PROVIDES FOR GRAVESTONE Will Of Mrs. Martha A.

i 2. REPLY TO ORDER OF STATE Two Wills Of Same Person Are Cav-eated Will Of Dr. William Simon Probated. The County Commissioners of Baltimore County yesterday notified the State Tax Commission that it would be out of the question for them to comply with the order of the commission to appropriate money for the reassessment of the property in the county this year. The order was received by the Commissioners last Saturday, and by it they were required to appoint 48 assessors and to appropriate the money for the cost of the reassessment.

The Commissioners say that, in so far as- the appointment of the assessors is concerned, they will comply with the order, but as to tne time ot the appointment, tne board is advised that under the State i and county laws they are not at liberty to make these appointments before the levy next 3-ear. The State Tax Commission already has taken the stand that if the County Commissioners do not comply with the order, the commission can proceed with the reassessment.
