His wife, Mrs. Annie O'Connor, lives at IiA48 Catherine street, Philadelphia. Twice Tried by The records in the case of Capt. Solomon Avery, of the Coast Artillery Corps, stationed at the presidio of San Francisco, are now under consideration at the War Department and will be transmitted to the President for his action in a short time. Capt.

i Avery was recently tried on two separate charges growing out of alleged maladministration of the funds of his company and of the post exchange. These two charges were tried before different courts-martial and the records of the proceedings of both courts are now before the War Department. The fact that the case requires the action of the President has led to the belief in military circles that the officer was convicted and sentenced to be dismissed by either or both of the courtsmartial. Death of Warrant Machinist Peary. The commandant of the naval training station at Newport, R.

MEMBERS URGE ACCEPTANC Formally Present Call of Diocesan Convention. I DR. MANN WILL REPLY LATER Says He Desires Time for to Consult Leading Clergy and Laymen. Without obtaining from Rev.

Dr. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity Church, Boston, a definite answer to the call to become the Bishop of Washington, the representatives of the diocese returned from the Hub today. The needs and claims of the local dioces? were presented to the Boston rector for an hour and a half yesterday morning. His reply was that he desired further time to consider the call and to consult with prominent clergymen and laymen of the Episcopal Church. He made no definite statement to the committee as to when he will announce his answer to the call.

Rev. Dr. R. H. McKlm.

president of the diocesan convention which elected Dr. Mann to the bishopric, and chairman of the committee appolnte-d to urge the Boston rector to accept the high office, today told a Star reporter of the interview with Dr. Mann yesterday. Call by Appointment. The committee representing the convention, composed of the president of the convention.

Rev. Dr. Roland Cotton Smith 1 and Mr. Melville Church, accompanied by 1 the committee appointed by the cathedral board consisting of Rev. Dr.

Alfred Hardlng and Rev. Dr. Bratenahl. called on Dr. Mann by appointment at Trinity rectory.

Boston, yesterday morning at o'clock. On behalf of the committee. Dr. McKim made a long and earnest presentation of the claims of the diocese of Washington, and "ne was followed in a similar vein by Dr. Smith and Mr.

Church. Dr. Harding and Dr. Bratenahl also spoke earnestly In advocacy of acceptance of the call of the diocese. Every consideration.

It is explained, was urged strongly and with deep feeling on Dr. Mann, who listened to the presenta tion with profound attention. Dr. Mann Makes Statement. "Dr.

Mann then addressed the committee briefly, but in feeling: terms, expressing his deep appreciation of the honor done him by the unexpected call to the great diocese of Washington," Dr. McKim remarked. "He said he must take time for careful consideration; that the subject was new to him. as only six days before had he any idea he would be summoned to this great post. He told the committee of the strong pleas urged on Wm, not only by his own church and the city of Boston generally, but from men of mark all over New England.

All these things demanded at his hands careful consideration, he said, and he felt that he must consult the leading men of both the clergy and the laity outside of his own i diocese before arriving at his decision. "The chairman of the committee from' Washington then assured Dr. Mann that the interview with him had only deepened and strenj hened the conviction that he i was the man for the cathedral chair of I Washington, but that we wished to put no pressure upon him to hasten his de- clsion. We fait that he must take all the time he considered necessary to consider the question in all its bearings, and that we hoped and believed that the longer he i considered the matter the more he would come to believe that the summons was 1 the call of God, which he would feel con- strained to accept." 1 Kpecfol Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, October Dr.

Alexander Mann. rector of Trinity Church, Boston, who was formally noti- i fled yesterday by the Washington committee of his election to the bishopric of the Washington diocese, declared last i night that he was swayed in two directions that were both highly attractive to him. Whether he will decline the high call to the Washington offlee or retain his present station at the head of Boston strongest Episcopal church, he says, is a rmpctlnn ha ho mnnnt a nnrp "The thought to me that perhaps I have not completed my mission at Trinity. I feel that I have been here only long years this gain the thorough acquaintance of the members of the parish and co-operation in the highest degree. Serious Matter to Break Unity.

"Now the church and Its rector are at work together in complete harmony, and it is a serious matter to break up the unity of spirit. 4 "It may be a week or even longer be- fore I will be ready to give my answer to the Washington committee." It is known that much pressure of a per- i sonal nature has been brought to bear with a view to retaining Dr. Mar.n in Boston. To friends he has confided that nothing but a call like the one from Washington would he seriously consider. Which way he will decide no one knows, wajr he will decide no one knows, and he and he himself declares he does not know.

Adler. corner of "th street and Massachusetts avenue north- west, inventoried at over ior ou cents on the dollar.

Mr. Adler Was for twenty-five years lo- cated at this corner and without doubt is one of the best known merchants in the city of Washington. His business pros- 1 pered because of the reliable merchandise he handled and the only reason for re- tiring from business is that of ill health. The stock will be put on sale at Goldenberg's tomorrow and their advertisement states that they will sell it at 50 cents on the dollar. 1 This event Is one of unusual importance to the buying public of Washington.

Firstly, because of the high quality of the mer- chandise, and, secondly, because it is right at the beginning of the fail season. when such bargains are more than unusual. The stock embraces an extensive variety of men's clothing, including suiis. overcoats, top coats and separate trousers. The hats are the newest shapes for early fall and the correct styles in stiff hats and derbys for winter.

Youths' clothing in fancy effects as well as plain colors. The men's furnishings are complete in every detail, including beautiful neckwear, shirts, sweaters and an especially large and attractive assortment of under- and medium-weight. There are also some men's rain coats in the sale. The men's shoes are the newest fall styles, good, sturdy leathers, fine materials. The boys' clothing embraces a full line of new style suits, pvercoata, sweaters.

i neckties, etc. There are also several hundred umbrel- las in the lot and a large assortment of men's jewelry and men's handkerchiefs and other accessories which a well appointed men's furnishing store should have- i The stock is worthy of inspection. It was personally selected by Mr. Adler, who is recognized as one of the leading buyers in the United States, and the opportunity of purchasing such merchandise at 50 cents on the dollar should attract a vast I attendance tomorrow at Goldenberg's.
