U. S. Engraving 23 North Howard st. THE SUN JOB PRINTING OFFICE, Calvert and Saratoga StreetsJ Ja mm Hero Of Merrimao To Stump State For Democrats. TO "GINGER UP" THE CAMPAIGN Senators llayner And Whyte And Congressmen Williams And Hef-lin Will Also Make Speeches.

Capt. Richmond Tearson Hobson, of Merrlmac fame, will be one of the speak ers In the present campaign in behalf of the Democratic ticket. Chairman Murray Vandlver, of the Dem ocratic State Central Committee, yester day made the announcement that Mr. Hob- son would be in Maryland on November 2 and 3 and would make two or three speeches here. He is expected to speak in the counties and the city.

It was an nounced that the dates upon which Congressman John Sharp Williams, of Miss issippi, had agreed to come here are Octo ber 17, 18, 10 and 20. On the four days the campaign committee will get as many speeches out of Mr. Williams as possible. Ills first speech will probably be made somewhere In the Second Congressional district, in behalf of his personal friend. Congressman J.

F. C. Talbott, but It is also purposed to have him speak In Baltimore and on the Eastern Shore. His second speech will be made at Cam bridge Friday night, when Mr. Isaac Lobe Straus will make an address.

This Is ex pected to be one of the biggest meetings held in the district. Congressman Heflin, of Alabama, whose amendment speeches here last year created more enthusiasm, than thos of any other outsider who has visited the State for sev eral campaigns, will spend October 29, 30 and 31 In Maryland. It Is likely that the committee may induce him to remain here longer if his speaking engagements in Delaware can be arranged. Mr. Henin will be heard in Princess Anne, Somerset county and at Havre de Grace, Harford county.

It has been decided that Senator Isidor Raynei will make his first speech of the campaign at Centrevllle, Queen Anne county, on the afternoon of October 23. The same night he will speak in Easton. From there he will go to Denton, Caroline county, the home of Congressman Thomas A. Smith, in whose re-election Mr. Rayner Is much Interested.

There la a probabil ity that Mr. Rayner may make a speech in behalf of Congressman Talbott at Bel-air or some other place In the district. Wants To Speak For "Fred." Senator William Pinkney Whyte is not expected to speak outside of Baltimore, except one speech which he will probably make in Baltimore county. In speaking of this Senator Whyte said: "If I can arrange It I would like to speak in the county for Fred. I generally make a speech for him in his campaigns and expect to do so this time." The dates for the local meetings have not been arranged, but at the conference of the ward executives Thursday night at the Eutaw House it was decided to hold at least one meeting in each of the 24 wards.

In addition there will likely be a district meeting In tbe Third and Fourth districts and at least two big meetings at the Lyric. "We will put some ginger Into the cam paign before it Is over," said Chairman Vandiver. "It will be lively enough be fore election day, and we will 6ee what can be done about dispelling this apathy, about which there have been some complaints. Every report that we get here is of an encouraging nature. Conditions In the First district have greatly Improved within the last week, and there appears to be a better chance of carrying the Fifth district this time than for some years past.

In both districts the candidates are hustling, and work of the most effective kind is being done." Former Congressman William H. Jackson, Republican candidate for Congress in the First district, was in the city. In the afternoon he held a conference with his campaign managers at the First district headquarters in the Hotel Rennert. Those who conferred with Mr. Jackson were Mr.

Phillips Lee Goldsborough, chairman of his campaign committee; former State Senator Henry M. McCullough, of Cecil county; Mr. A. Lincoln Dryden, of Somerset county, and others. The situation In the different counties of the dis trict was discussed and the registration gone over.

Chairman Goldsborough expressed his satisfaction with the outlook and his belief that Mr. Jackson would be elected by a considerable majority. Mr. Flndlay Encouraged. Mr.

John V. L. Findlav. ReDublican candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, spent some time at his headquarters. where he went over the registration figures with those In charge.

Mr. Flndlay declared the prospects of his election were excellent and that he had every reason to feel encouraged. As yet no date for the opening of the oratorical part of the Republican campaign In the Fourth district has been fixed, but it is said there will be plenty of oratory when it starts. In 'the Third district Mr. William M.

Stewart, who has been In charge of the registration work, declares he is still receiving reports of places where "Joe" Beard registered. Mr. Stewart says Beard covered no fewer than three wards the Third, Fifth and Fourth. Democrats In the Fifth ward profess to be equally as indignant as the Republicans concerning Beard's alleged attempt to register, and say they do not see how so well known a character was not recognized by the police and the registration officials. At both headquarters the work of preparing "suspect" lists for use Tuesday, when the boards of registers sit for purposes of revision, is being pushed.

Both sides hope to get off the lists a large number of names. For Municipal Ownership. The Municipal-Ownership League of the Eighth ward was organized last night and elected the following officers: President Harry O. Deppish. Secretary Albert Hoeschele.

Treasurer Alphonse J. Tragesser. Illegral Registration Alleged. Clem Henson, colored, was locked up last night at the Southwestern Police Station on the charge of illegally registering in the Twelfth precinct of the Tenth ward. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by the omcers of registration for the precinct.

CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY Discoverer Landed 414 Years Ago And Italians Observe It. The Soclete Christopho Colombo, composed of members of the local Italian col ony, held a banquet at the Hotel Joyce last night, marking the four hundred and fourteenth anniversary of the landing of Christopher Columbus. Nearly 100 Italians prominent in busi ness and social circles attended. Although sounding the exploits of Columbus, prominent statesmen of Maryland and the United States were in nowise forgotten. Mr.

Joseph Di Giorgio was toastmaster. Governor Warfleld responded to the tcast "State of Maryland." In his remarks the Governor paid a high tribute to the Italians. Mayor Timanus talked of "Baltimore." He complimented the Italians npon their energy and progresslveness. Mr. James IL Fechtig responded to "The Italian-American." Mr.

L. A. Rettaliata spoke with much fervor on "Columbus." "The Principal of the Day" was the toast responded to by Mr. P. Scbiafflno, the Italian Consul at this port.

The backbone of the cold wave Is broken and warmer weather is predicted for tomorrow. The climax of the cold was reached about 5.30 M. yesterday, when the mercury in the city dropped to In suburban places it was much colder and Ice formed half an Inch thick at Sparks, Baltimore county. Great damage was done to late crops and vegetables throughout the county. At Cockeysville the mercury stood at 28" at 5 A.

M. and ice was to be seen wherever there was standing water. The ground was said to have been frozen sufficiently hard to bear a horse and wagon. The frost wrought great damage to tomatoes In that section. as well as around Towson.

Even In the northern section of the city and around Druid Hill Park Ice formed on the little pools of water, and the drivers of market wagons arrived in the city with Icicles hanging to their beards and a skim of Ice over their basket of vegetables. This is the coldest spell that has visited Baltimore so early In October in many years. A warm wave is now prevailing in the central part of the West, however, and is mov ing eastward. Still The Fashion Favorite CQRGaVE Close-Fitting Collars. Now and then we hear a gentle little knock about concave shoulders being obsolete or close-fitting collars no longer the real thing in the cut of Men's Clothing.

"What is beyond the power of some men to even imitate successfully they seek to condemn or ridicule. Our concave shoulder, elose fitting collar system of designing is as popular this season as it was last, because it is both proper and practical, neat and graceful, and gives all men a well-developed appearance.

All Mail Orders Rcccice Our mmpt and Personal Attention. $4 MISS WHEELER HAS THE HOUSE "Next Property I'll Buy Will Be 6x2! Lot In Graveyard," Says G8-Year-Old Defendant. One of the happiest men in all Maryland last night was Rev. Edward B. Walts, whom Miss Susie Wheeler, of Arlington avenue, Govanstown, had sued for alleged breach of promise of marriage.

The case, which has abounded In humorous features, went to the Jury about 3 P. and 30 minutes later 12 tried men and true had found for the defendant and freed the aged pastor, who is C8 years old, from the danger of losing the. house he had purchased for Miss Wheeler and himself when the sky of their love was azure and the dark clouds of doubt and recrimination had not yet appeared upon the horizon. The ground rents, too, which he testified that he had painfully and laboriously gotten together one at a time by dint of hard saving for years, were not menaced, and Rev. Mr.

Walts admitted that he would have a keener appetite for his supper last night than he had had before in a long time. After the jury had filed out and the spectators had settled themselves down to what was feared by some would be a long, dreary wait the general impression was that the Jury would find for Walts, or If It found for Miss Wheeler would give her but nominal damages. It was understood that the first ballot had stood nine to three for the defendant, the three Jurors desiring to give Miss Wheeler but nominal damages. Upon the second ballot, it Is the 12 men were unanimous that the pastor was in the right. The latter was exuberant in Ms delight and rushed over to shake the Jurors by the hand, exhibiting an agility he had not previously displayed during the four days of the trial.

Neither Miss Wheeler nor her mother was in court at all during the so that the preacher held undivided attention. Each of the Jurymen, -at the conclusion, of the long trial, had something pleasant to say to him. and he beamed upon them all. Not Thinking; Of Love Again. One of the jurors suggested to the pastor the names of several more or less eligible ladles who might be Induced to look favorably upon matrimony, but he modestly admitted that be was thinking of other things.

"I am going back to he said, "and I expect to make my home with my brother for the rest of my life. Asked by a curious bystander If he intended to call upon Miss Wheeler and her mother before his departure, he replied: "Well, not right away. I guess I had better wait till things cool over." Someone intimated that probably he would not be In a hurry to purchase a home for any other woman, and his reply, sharp and keen, had a touch of grim jest. "The next home I buy," he said, not without a smile, will be six by two In the graveyard at Norrisvllle." The most notable happening of the day was the remarkable speech by Mr. A.

S. Goldsborough in the opening argument for Miss Wheeler. For two long hours Mr. Goldsborough talked, and held the jury and the spectators spellbound by his oratory. Seldom, If ever, said several members of the bar, has such an impassioned appeal been made in that old courtroom.

Mr. Goldsborough was warmly complimented on his effort. Mr. Yellott, in the concluding argument for Mr. Walts, did not make any very lofty oratorical flights, contenting himself with reviewing the case slowly, point by point.

He talked for something more than an hour, his principal effort being to impress upon the Jury the fact that Miss Wheeler's attitude toward her aged lover changed during the exchange of correspondence, and endeavoring to show the causes that effected the change. A crowd was present in the morning, but when the case' was concluded at 3.30 P. M. there were but about 20 spectators in the courtroom. It is understood that Mr.

Walts has determined to leave Miss Wheeler and her mother in possession of the Arlington avenue house for at least some months, but upon this point he made no statement after the trial. STATE'S OPPORTUNITY Business Men Awaking To The Importance Jamestown. That Maryland's exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition shall be a credit to Baltimore and the Sta'te Is the determination of the commercial committee of the Maryland Commission. The members of the committee are hustlers. Already four firms have engaged space.

From the enthusiasm of business men generally, and the number of Inquiries received regarding the exhibits, the committee feels assured that its labors will not be In vain. The four firms that have engaged space are The Baltimore Bargain House. W. O. Robinson' Son Company, oils.

The Fire Brick and Retort Company. McCormlck spices. The Baltimore Bargain House has engaged 1,440 square feet. Their exhibit will be one that will do credit to the house and the commercial standing of the city. The other exhibitors will labor to make a splendid sHbw for the city.

Mr. Tregoe Enthusiastic. Mr. J. Harry Tregoe, chairman of the commercial committee, is particularly enthusiastic over the opportunities offered by the Exposition, and declares Baltimore will gain a great deal in many ways through the travel of the tourists.

In presenting bis ideas, Mr. Tregoe warms up at the sound of the word exhibit. He said "The committee, after finishing Its visit with the Jamestown Exposition officers, talking with the chiefs of every department and visiting the Exposition grounds, were impressed with the fact, that the people of Norfolk and Virginia expect beyond' ques- tlon that Maryland and Baltimore will co-; operate more largely in the success of the Exposition than most of their neighbor States. Their reason for this Is not only from the sentimental standpoint that the peoples of the two States are so closely identified, but that there is such a flow of commerce between Norfolk and Baltimore, giving to our city and Its producers opportunities for returns beyond that of any other city and producers in the country. "The transit rates during the time of the Exposition, especially the summer season, will attract a large number of tourists through Norfolk.

By far the major portion of these will move southward or northward through Baltimore. Fine Advertising Opportunity. "A proper presentation of our great resources and the variety of our products will be brought to the attention of the visitors, who will visit very largely the place of production. As a strict advertlsemenV nothing promising better returns could be offered to exhibitors. "It is the desire of the committee that the exhibits from our State and city should be grouped, if possible.

In order to effect this It Is necessary that space be reserved within a short time. We will approach in a convincing way the trades of our city and State that have exchanges and where a combination exhibit Is possible to effect. "Complete plans of the campaign for these industrial exhibits have not yet been devised, but the committee is now preparing a list of all the principal manufacturers of the State and city, to whom will be addressed a communication setting forth the advantages of the Exposition for an exhibit and follow up this communication by personal solicitations. "The commission will be approached to co-operate In an effective and, if necessary, a financial way for carrying out this important part of our co-operation in the Exposition and to arrange for that space set aside in the State exhibit building, which Is one of the most desirable and conspicuous of any space accorded the States. "The space is free of charge and for the purpose of exhibiting the State's resources, agriculture and forestry.

"Altogether It Is a fine opportunity. If we don't take advantage of it there will not only be criticism from those who expect us to do a prominent part, but we ball lose a fine advantage for giving publicity to our products and to those whom we especially desire to Interest." Rev. Dr. Ezra K. Hell Speaks.

Rev. Dr. Ezra K. Hell, pastor of First English Lutheran Church, began last Wednesday the first of a series of "Wednesday Evenings With the Bible." Ills particular topic that evening was "Where We Got Our Blbw." There was a large attendance and muct lU-rcut la tuaalfest la the course, pleased, and he complimented the strikers warmly for the manner In which they conducted themselves during the ordeal. Captain Silva said he never met a finer body of men than the captains and mates, and he had won much admiration among the men.

Captains Dow and Cullin, 'also members of the Grand Harbor, who with Captain Silva formed the committee which presented the original petition to Captain Thomson, were also Jubilant. All of the New Yorkers are popular and the men looked up to them for advice all through the strike. THE STRIKE AT A The trouble which culminated In the strike began June 29, when the new wage scale was presented Captain Thomson by a committee of captains. He refused to recognize the committee. Another call was made September 16, when Captain Thomson again refused to deal with them.

The resignations of all the captains, mates and pilots were handed in at that time. The tie-up began October 1, when the men' left their vessels at the docks. Three days later the men made charges before Collector Stone that Captain Corkrln took out a steamer without a license. The case was settled. Captain Thomson issued letters that day asking the men to resign from the Masters and Pilots' Association.

On October 5 the Bureau of Statistics offer to arbitrate was refused. Monday last the Investigation, which resulted In a finding blaming Captain Thomson for the strike, was held. The findings were an nounced by Mr. J. H.

Schonfarber Wednesday. The offer to discuss the matter was ac cepted yesterday by Captain Thomson after several other ineffectual attempts to bring about a reconciliation had been made. ADDED $1,000 TO STRIKE FUND Lithographers Say Nine Firms Have Granted Demands. At a meeting of the Federation of Labor it appropriated $1,000 for the striking lith ographers. Messrs.

John Freiberg, William Smith and Anton Becker, of the local union of lithographers, who are handling the strike, say they are much encouraged and sanguine of success and expect a settlement in the near future. Nine firms, they say, have granted their demands, as follows The Crown Cork and Seal Company, Baltimore Badge and Novelty Company, H. Gamse Maryland Lithographing Company, Louis Deutsch, A. Reade, Baltimore Lithographing Company, Young SeJden and the American Can Company. The three concerns against whom the fight is being waged are the American To bacco Company, A.

Hoen Co. and the Frledenwald Company. MR. LOUIS P. DETRICK DEAD President Of Fertiliser Co.

Ernst Hasenblag, better known to all baseball fans of the palmy days of the Baltimore team as "Doc" Hasenblag, died yesterday afternoon of typhoid fever and complications at the University Hospital after a brief illness. He was employed as manager of Han dler's bowling alleys, at 2 South Gay street.

Last Monday he reported for duty about 10 A. M. and about an hour later com plained of illness and went home. Thursday afternoon Mr. Mandler had him taken to the hospital.

Mr. Hasenblag was born near Hamburg, Germany. When a young man his uncle, a bachelor, left him his drug business at Thames street and Broadway, and he came to the States to conduct the business, which at the time had a branch store at Biddle street and Pennsylvania avenue. At that time Hasenblag was reputed to have a fortune estimated at between and $40,000. He mar-rled the daughter of Professor Lenscho, one "of the best-known musical directors of the city.

When baseball was in the heyday of its popularity in Baltimore he was possibly the most intensely enthusiastic of rooting fans. He never missed a game on local grounds and frequently accompanied the team on its Journeys. Among his most intimate friends was Herman Vonderhorst, then secretary of the Orioles. Next to baseball Mr. Hasenblag loved nine and ten pins.

At ninepins, the older German game, he was an expert and will be remembered for his expert playing at the Germania Hall and the old Schuetzen Park. Among his trophies was a gold medal given him as the three-times winner of the annual contest of the Friday Night Club. Although ninepins was primarily "his game," he took up the more modern game of tenpins when It came Into vogue and he was best known as a master of the right and. left curve balls. At Handler's he was the preceptor of many young enthusiasts.

He is survived by his widow, Jennie L. Hasenblag, who lives at 1313 Myrtle s.ve- nue, and several children. The funeral will take place from her home tomorrow afternoon. CAPT. HENRY STEFFENS.

Has Lasted Since October 1 Pay For Captains Same As Asked And For Mates In Proportion. I Terms Of Settlement. The strike of captains of bay steamersywas ended last night at a conference of the strikers and Capt. Willard Thomson, vice-president of the lines affected. The men were granted an Increase In salary at about the rate they asked.

The same percentage will apply to the mates and second officers. No request to leave the association was made of the men by the company. All steamers will run on schedule today, It was announced. The strike began October 1, and since that time the bay trade has been crippled, only a few steamers running each day. The strike of the steamboat captains on the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic and the Maryland, Delaware and Virginia Railway Companies was brought to an end shortly after 11 P.

M. yesterday In the office in the Continental Building of Mr. X. P. Bond, general counsel for the companies.

All of the companies' boats will leave today on the regular Saturday schedule. It was a case of give and take on both sides, and a satisfactory agreement was soon reached because the word "association" was not mentioned by either side until all matters had been shaped and accepted. Then Mr. Bond said the companies yielded the point with regard to the captains being members of the association. He declared, however, that the companies till believed that by the captains belonging to It the discipline was affected, but It was for the captains to show the directors that they were wrong.

AFTER THREE MEETINGS. There were three conferences held between 5 P. M. and the time when matters were finally adjusted. Everything was done by Capts.

W. O. Geogbegan, W. J. Taylor and James Gourley and the strikers' counsel, Mr.

Robert W. Smith. The agreement submitted by the men was: "First That the following rate off wages should be paid: That Capt. William Geogbegan and Capt. James Gourley should each receive wages at the rate of 130 a month.

On the Chester River and Clalrborne Lines, the masters to be paid $100 each a month, the first officers $65 a month and the second officers $45. On the Choptank Elver Line the masters to be paid $115 each, the first officers $70 and the second officers $50. "On all lines running below Cove Point except Captain Geoghegan and Capt. Jas. Gourley) master to be paid $125 and the socond officers $60.

"All licensed quartermasters to be paid $30. "All officers are to receive full pay at all times when on duty. "Second All the men are to return to the positions which they formerly held, at the rate of wages above stated. "Third No subordinate officer shall be employed on any steamer without the consent of the master." SETTLEMENT LIKE THIS. Mr.

Bond did not give out any figures, but said the pay of the captains, generally peaking, was settled about as requested. The pay of the subordinate officers, the counsel said, was adjusted on the basis of the same percentage of Increase allowed the captains on the lines on which they were employed. The quartermasters' pay was regulated at $30 a month. It was stated by some of the men that the only other changes in the requests were that the masters on the Choptank line were to receive $110 a month instead of $115 and that the third clause of the last request was modified so that the masters will be spoken to regarding the em ploying of a subordinate officer. A DAY OP MEETINGS.

Fractlcally everything was agreed to at the first conference, which was held shortly before o'clock, It is said, but certain details had to be Investigated, and a recess was taken after a session of an hour or more until 9.30 o'clock. Once again the captains and their attor ney returned to the office of Mr. Bond. Another talk was had, but there were still some points in doubt, and a recess was taken for half an hour. "When the committee of the employes returned this time everything waa patched up Immediately.

The end of the strike was brought about In a quiet way. In the morning the com mlttee of the employes telephoned while Captain Thomson and Mr. Bond were out of the city. They said they wanted Mr. Smith, their counsel, to accompany them If a conference could be arranged.

The captains explained that they represented themselves and were a committee from the employes. Nothing was said about Captain Sllva, Dow or Cullin, of the Grand Harbor, and, In fact, the association was not mentioned Consequently the first conference resulted from the message. ASKED FOR STRIKE PAY. When other matters had been arranged the question as to when the Increase In pay would go into effect and whether or not the men would be paid for their time during the strike came up. It was understood by both sides that these details would be satisfactorily adjusted.

Then the committee assured Captain Thomson that they were ready to take out the boats at his or der, so between 15 and 20 captains and nearly 40 other officers will return to work this morning. Feeling that everything had been dis posed of, Mr. Bond declared be felt that he had better state the position of the compa nles with regard to the association. Ue said the directors of the companies were honest in their belief that membership. In the association of the captains affected dlS' cipllne on the lines, but the opinion of the raptalus, In whose Integrity and judgment the companies bad confidence, had been directly opposite.

The men, he said, seemed honestly convinced on their side that the association was of a great personal benefit, from the insurance and other beneficial features. That being true, he declared, the companies, whilo still apprehensive and believing their opinion was correct, had confidence in their captains and yielded their judgment. They would make, no further objection, he said, to any of the men belonging to it if they saw fit. -iuo aq 1U 'jaAaAioq "pins puog uj pany still' maintained Its original position ntid would not contract or deal with the order, but would deal with their own employes direct. JOY AT PEACE.

Captain Thomson and Mr. Bond shook hands warmly with, the committee and their TWO LOANS NEXT SPRING Mayor Announces Himself In Favor Of Submitting Them. SCHOOLS AND ENGINE HOUSES Reported Effort -Of Politicians To Sidetrack These Projects Will Be Vigorously Opposed. Mayor Timanus placed himself on record yesterday as favoring the submission of the fire and schoolhouse loans to the peo ple at the Mayoralty ejection next spring. Each loan is for $1,000,000, which if passed will be used toward building engine and school houses.

He is opposed to asking the people to ratify the $5,000,000 paving loan and the $1,000,000 park loan at this time, believing that they are not as popular as the other two loans, thereby jeopardizing the success of all. Because of a desire of a number of Republican leaders to make the ballot as simple as possible in May, it was rumored that they would oppose any attempt to place the loans on the ticket. From their stand point, It was argued, they feared that a number of the illiterate colored voters would attempt to vote on the loans and through ignorance might spoil their ballots, which would mean that the entire ticket would be thrown out. Public sentiment demands Immediate action on the fire and schoolhouse loans, because of their urgent necessity, and it is not believed that the Republican party lead ers will attempt to thwart this demand. Mayor Timanus yesterday said that he did not believe that it would be good policy to submit the paving, and park loans to the people this year, as there might be danger of passage.

Furthermore, he said that it w-ould not be advisable to begin the expenditure of either loan for several years, and by that time they might become exceedingly popular. Wants Money In 1908. "I am anxious to give Baltimore the best school and fire-fighting facilities possible," he continued, "and believe that a vast majority of Baltimoreans are in favor of these two loans. "If possible, I will try to have the money available as soon as they are ratified, so that work can be begun Immediately. If I find that this is Illegal, then I want to see the money available by January, 1908.

"From the beginning I have thought that it would be possible for tbe Board of Estimates to place a number of Improvements in both departments In the ordinance of estimates for next year contingent upon tbe passage of tbe loans. This would not increase the tax rate, and then I believe that the money would be available the day after election, providing the loans pass. "A large number of school and engine houses are urgently needed, and if the board would attempt to allow for all of them It would send the tax rate sky high. If it will not be possible for me to carry out my plan, then I will gladly support the ordinances for the Incorporation the estimates for engine houses and school houses In tbe tax budget to a reasonable extent. The people want schools and engine houses and they should have them, but at the same time I do not believe that they want an unusually high tax rate.

"Should both of the loans pass, then the city, It is estimated, could build about 20 engine and truck houses, but, of course, this large number is not needed. The money would be available forever, and it could be appropriated as tbe city grew and they became necessary. I believe that the entire amount could be spent for schools as quickly as possible, after which Baltimore would have an adequate number of scbool buildings. Paving After Sewers. "If the paving loan was passed next May, I do not think that it would be advisable to expend any of the money until after the sewers are laid.

It would be a useless expense and a civic outrage to pave the streets and then have to tear them up again to lay the sewers. Therefore. I think that action on the loan should be postponed for at least a year or two. "When the sewers are laid then tbe people will want well paved streets, and this will add to the popularity of the loan. "Everybody knows that the park loan, wbich, if passed, would not cost the taxpayer a cent In the future, Is not a popular loan.

A number of people say that we do not need any additional parks or boulevards, and are opposed to the loan. Several years ago we passed a park loan of $1,000,000 and the Park Board is at present expending that money. Several years from now the people will begin to see what has been done by this loan and will rally to the support of the second Ion The Paving, Schoolhouse, Fire and Park Lioan acts were passed by the last Legislature, but must.be ratified by the voters. They are placed on tbe ballot by an ordinance of th Mayor and City Council. It is believed that all of the Councilmen are In favor of submitting both the engine and scbool loans next spring.

DEATH SEPARATES BROTHERS Two Cuban Students Hemmed In By Trains On Bridge. While walking over the Gwynn's falls bridge of ths Pennsylvania. Railroad arm In arm with his brother yesterday arternoon Carlos de la Torre, a Cuban student at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, was instantly killed. His brother, Louis de la Torre, a student at the Maryland Medical College, escaped injury. The young men left their boarding house, 1043 West Fayette street, about 2 P.

M. for a walk. They were seen to start across the bridge and apparently in deep conversation. When they reached the middle of the bridge two passenger trains approached, one from the West and the other from the East. From air appearances the students' did not see the trains until too late to escape.

The eastbound train struck Carlos and threw blm toward the westbound track. As he fell he tripped Louis and the latter fell across Carlos. Carlos' right leg extended over the westbound track and as the westbound train came along his foot was severed. 1 1 Louis became hysterical when he found his brother had been killed 'and it was some time before be could be quieted. A number of workmen and 2180 Vine street, carried -the body from the bridge It was taken to tbe morgue In the Southwestern district patrol wagon.

MORE SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE Lishthonse In UTew District, LI brary On Hurst Lot And Scbool Are Among The Flans. Suggestions for the design of the fire me morial continue to be received In response to Thb Sun's invitation. Among the latest are the following For New Lexington Market. Messrs. Editors: I do not favor using any ground in the fire lines for a memorial site, because It is too costly and there Is hardly enough of it to meet the business demands, especially as the docks and Light street wharf improve ments Will remove from use a large num ber of stores and warehouses.

We boast that Lexington Market Is greatest retail emporium in the United States. That will be conceded when we speak of the products of the farm, field and water displayed on Its stalls, but when we take our stranger friends outside and they witness the tumble-down shacks, the ragged awnings, the bleak, cold and desolate aisles in the winter season, then we are, indeed, mute, and silently turn away. This is the place and the opportunity. The city owns the ground on which the Lexington Market house stands. It is fully 100 by 300 feet.

A new and up-to-date mar ket house, with cold storage and other mod ern conveniences, is needed. Then why not erect a memorial hall over the stalls be tween Eutaw and Paca streets. Have a tower so that it will rear its top proudly and be seen by all. Use the hall for our public and other school commencements, for conventions, expositions and grand lodge gatherings of all kinds. Rent It for town meetings and make it serve the same useful purposes that the old Maryland Institute so fully supplied.

A sanitary market house is as great a necessity as a sanitary slaugh ter house, and the increased revenue from stall rentals or a small license would pay all running expenses. If this site is select ed I believe that tbe business bouses for many squares around will contribute liber ally to the memorial fund. Respectfully, Peter J. Campbell. Lighthouse, JHls Plan.

Messrs. Editors: I would suggest that there be erected a lighthouse in or near the center of tbe fire district. A building of the sort Is something that will help to beautify the city and harbor and give great assistance to steamers In the bay. There could be four powerful searchlights, which could be seen as far as Annapolis and would render much as sistance in stormy weatner. u.

i. xixle. The "Best Messrs. Editors: Since the "best monument which a na tion can build is the character of her citi zens" I would suggest that a school after the order of McDonogh be erected and supported by the people of Baltimore, to be called the Baltimore Fire Memorial School Out of the great fire will then Issue the pure gold of a "true nobility." Respectfully, Oxh Who Lives to Bless the Memory, of McDonogh. Free Library On Hurst Lot.

Messrs. Editors: As a suitable and appropriate memorial I would suggest a free library. While this would serve the purpose of a memorial it would act at the same time as an educator. A good site for such a building would be the Hurst lot, where the fire started. It should be an Imposing structure, surmount ed by a large tower, where one could have an excellent view of the new district.

The $50,000 spent on the recent jubilee would have made a good contribution as a starter for the memorial fund. Jacob Lowexthal. Likes Mr. Hooper's Project. Messr 8.

Editors: I am heartedly in favor of City Register Hooper's Idea as to a fire memorial, as it would be a relic of the fire, as well as or namental. Such a monument would be ap propriate. I believe a suitable site would be near the exact spot where the fire started, I hope those in charge will give Mr, Hooper's idea consideration, for 1 consider it a good suggestion and one that If carried out would please the public at large.
