EXPECTS SUBSIDY LEGISLATION CASH TOR AVIATION MEET Committee Will Begin At Once To Solicit Subscriptions. The executive committee of the aviation committee met yesterday in the rooms-of the Travelers and Merchants' Association and considered the financing of the proposed international meet. Col. Jerome H. Joyce, chairman of th committee, said that the Washington committee would not agree to form a stock company, and that it had been decided to sell "subscriptions," on which the profits would be divided equally between) Baltimore and Washington.

The committee also took up the question of a place for the meet. Colonel Joyce said that the Aero Club of America would soon send a committee to Washington and Baltimore to look over several fields. Mr. Millard F. Burgess was named chairman of a committee which will start at once to solicit subscriptions.

Others present at the meeting were Gen. Clinton L. Rlggs, Messrs. J. Albert Hughes, Jllrnh-W ITrtoL- Rnchrnrl "Wat-fa WIU Merchants And Manufacturers Executive Committee In Sympathr "With The Movement.

As president of the Shipping League of Baltimore Mr. Bernard N. Baker yesterday addressed the executive committee of "the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association in an endeavor to arouse action for the protection of Baltimore's Interests In any ship Bubsidy legislation which may be passed by Congress. In the event of such legislation, Mr. Baker declared, a steamship line from Baltimore to Colon and South American ports would be started.

Following the address and a general discussion of the topic the committee adopted a resolution assuring the shipping league "sympathy with objects and the active support and co-operation" of the association. President xilliam B. Hurst was In the chair, and the following members were present: Messrs. W. Bernard Duke, Dr.

David H. Carroll, James Preston, Everard K. Pattlson, Gen. A. C.

Trippe, Jacob Ep- Btein, D. C. Ammidon, W. K. Bartlett, Reuben Foster, Summerfield Baldwin, W.

D. Gill, R. Lancaster Williams, C. T. Williams.

Thomas G. Boggs, secretary of the association, and J. Fred" Essary, secretary of the shipping league," were also on nd. Mr. Baker opened by asserting that the oversea shipping of the United States had dwindled to nothing.

"I counted 11 American ships," said Mr. Baker, "but Mr. Boggs makes it only 10, and one of these has recently been trans ferred to the Belgian flag. At the time of the Spanish-American War President Mc- KInley sent for me and we could" not find enough American ships to use as transports for the troops, whereupon I contracted to give the Government nine English ships thereby making myself liable to Imprisonment in England for transferring the vessels to the United States flag." Mr. Baker then recalled the course of the to-called Batea Subsidy bill In Congress, in which this measure went through the Senate by a unanimous vote and tailed only three votes of passage In the Hobse of Rep resentatives.

This bill, he continued, would have been of no benefit whatever to any port but those on the Pacific Coast, unless. mayhap, the distance from New York to Rio Janeiro could have been figured at 4,002 miles. Baltimore Should Watch. This narrow escape, said" Mr. Baker, should impress upon the people of Baltl more the necessity of watcuing such legislation and guarding the interests of tne port in any proposed subsidy action.

"There cannot be the slightest doubt that a subsidy will pass Congress," he continued, "and the object of ue Shipping League of Baltimore is to see that its provisions are beneficial to Baltimore, as well as to the other ports of the country. And it ia in'f-fifct mnvumpTi f- fhat thAlafloiTanrnnM enlist your assistance. The Panama Canal is soon to be opened and we shoulctvbe ready to launch our merchant marine by the time that passage to the Pacific la ready. Three years will be required to build our merchant marine and by that time the canal will be ready. "Our object Is to get through Congress a bill that will be just and equitable to all interests and tn hniM tha msrlno at tht -7OAi AJEW 7 scr- 4 i Mayor; Mahool And Others Say They Will Adopt Suggestions.

Mayor Mahool announced yesterday aft ernoon that he was much pleased with the recommendations of the auditors who have just completed their work In the municipal departments, and that, as far as he could with the present Charter limitations, be would carry out their recommendations to the letter. "One things I have said, that I am certainly going to do," said the Mayor, "Is to have an annual audit, which will apply to every city department every year while I remain in the City Hall. I do not believe that future audits will cost nearly as much as this. The bill for this will be more than I as It took two months longer than I expected it would to mak the investigation. At 4irst we estimated it would be about $30,000 now I am afraid that if will be a little more than that.

"As to the changes in business methods, principally which the auditors recommend, every one which lies In my power under the terms of the present Charter will be carried out, and every one which cannot be effected without a change In the Charter will be brought to the attention of the Charter Revision Commission." Several other city officials also approved the recommendations of the auditors. City Collector Frank Brown said that he had not formed any opinion on the recommendation that the present system of cash discounts be discontinued, and that, instead, the date at which the taxes begin to bear Interest shall be fixed eariier In the year. "Of course, it would result In a great saving of work in this department," said Mr. Brown. "It is merely a question of how it would work, and how the people would like it." In the City Register's office it was stated that many of the reforms suggested, par ticularly in the methods of depositing funds in the banks, have already been adopted.

Deputy City Register Newman said that, while he thought aost of the recommendations were good he did not approve them all, as, for instance, the recommendation that all money should be paid by check. Mr. Newman said that the Charter provides that many of the city employes, such as election officials and jurors, who only work a few days in the year, must be paid in cash. He said also that the handling of such small amounts by check would be much more troublesome. President Parrish, of the Fire Board, was much pleased with the complimentary reference to the methods of bookkeeping in that department.

PBTTATrFXPHIA BUYERS HERE Rebate Movement Attracts Many From Quaker City. From the number of persons who are registering at the Retail Bureau of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association every day from Philadelphia, it re garded as evident that this cijy is a better market for shoppers than the Quaker City. Ever since the shopping tours were started Philadelphians have been taking advantage of the rebate system and com ing here to buy their goods. The largest number In one day 'yet registered was yesterday. Besides the shoppers from Philadelphia, there were others from Salisbury, Cam bridge, Chestertown, Frederick and a num ber of smaller towns in Maryland, while several registered from York, and one came from West Virginia.

Another section of the country which Is attracting the attention of the storekeepers by its large representation is the Valley of Virginia. Every day there have been a number of persons to register from towns between Staunton, Charlottesville and Washington The rebate movement is proving a great benefit to the people in the smaller towns and country, as it puts them on the same basis with the city folk. To every person purchasing $20 worth of goods the transportation Is paid both ways for a distance of 100 miles, and to each person who- purchases half the ambuntthe transportation one way is paid. To persons living beyond the radius the transportation is paid 100 miles of the way. Ninety-one buyers had their railroad fares refunded yesterday.

Among these was a gentleman from Centreville, who said he had been attracted to Baltimore solely by the rebate offer, and that he purchased goods here that he previously purchased at Wilmington, Del. He added that, aside from, the rebate, he had found that he can purchase to much better advantage in Baltimore. Another caller was a lady from Riverton, Va.t whose purchases amounted to about $100. She said she had gone to Washington to shop, and that there her attention was called by a friend to the rebate offer of Baltimore retailers. Because of that offer she came here.

She added that has found Baltimore 'prices and qualities so attractive that she bought more extensively than she had expected. Another lady, from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, said that she had heretofore gone to Philadelphia to buy such things as she could not procure from the stores of her home town, but that she has been won as a permanent customer by the shopping attractions of this city. STREET'S OLD NAME ASKED Residents Would Change Leonard Back To Frederick. Residents and persons doing business on Frederick street, which is now named Leon ard street, are dissatisfied with the change in name, and have announced their intention of going before the Commissioners for Opening Streets and the City Council to have the former name used again. Frederick street Is one of the oldest in the city, being in the section which was early developed, and those identified with it feel that this should give them some right to the name.

One of those especially interested is Mr. James P. Foster, of the lumber mill In that street. He, with others, is preparing a petition against the change. The name of Frederick street was changed, with 2,000 other street names, a year ago by Mr.

William H. Brune, now of the Appeal Tax Court. Mr. Brune was Instructed by the City Council to eliminate the duplications, there having been five, six and seven streets with the same, or practically similar, names. A "blanket" ordinance was passed changing 2,000 street names.

The Commissioners for Opening Streets have been deluged with requests that the old names be returned, and hundreds of ordinances changing the, names of individual streets to the original names were Introduced into the Council. The Council passed a special joint resolution by which all ordinances changing the names of streets should be referred to the Commissioners for Opening Streets. The Commissioners have assumed the attitude that they do not object to granting a change If It does not cause a duplication. MAY TAKE CASE TO COUNTY City Register And Bonding: It Is Said, Will Remove It. is said that the suit of the city on the official bond for $50,000 of City Register J.

Sewell Thomas to supply part of the $67,000 alleged to have been stolen by William F.Downs while stock clerk in the City Register's office, will be removed by the defendants from the Superior Court, In which It was instituted, and an effort made to have it sent to Baltimore county. Mr. J. C. it Is said, has been retained as additional counsel for the defendants.

Either side has the right to remove the case upon affidavit-that a fair and Impartial trial may not be had in the court in which it is pending. -The judge, however, has the right to say to what court the case shall be removed. Since Judge Niles overruled on October 27 last the demurrer of the defendants to the declaration of the city, six pleas have been 'filed by Mr. Thomas and 22 pleas by his surety, the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company. The argument on questions of law raised by them has been set for- November 20.

The city law officers have "replied to 2 of -the pleas of Mr. Thomas-and demurred to 4 and have replied to 6 and demurred to 16 of the pleas of the bonding company. The pleas of Mr. Thomas set up the defense that the money which the ctty seeks to recover was stolen without any negligence on his part and therefore he is not liable. The two pleas of Thomas to which the city replied amount to a denial.

The bonding company-pleads that the bond is not Its bond, the legal effect of which, it is said, is to deny that it created the bond at all and to state that the bond is a forgery, as no other defense Is available under such a plea. Throws Stove Ont Window. A-gasoline stove exploded at 113 South' Carlton street yesterday afternoon. The stove was thrown out of a window by Mr. Samuel Forester, who occupies the house, before any damage was done, KILLED IN TRAIN CRASH Samuel Greenbaum Loses Life In Collision At Bush St.

Crossing. J. LAMPMAN SERIOUSLYINJURED Both Men Were In Wagon Which Was Struck By Engine. And Dragged Several Squares. One man was! killed and another thrown a distance of 30 feet and seriously injured last night when a Washington express train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad struck a delivery wagon of Hecht Brothers at theBush street crossing, in SouthrBaltl-more.

Samuel 'Greenbaum, 40 years old, 1404 Ward street, was the man who was killed. John Lampman, the driver of the wagon, is now lying in the University Hospital with a badly lacerated scalp and cuts and bruises on the body and arms. The accident happened shortly before o'clock, when the train was due to arrive at Camden Station. Lampman had bean delivering goods. He and Greenbaum, who was a helper, were on their way home.

There are few; lights In the vicinity of the Bush street crossing, and 'when the team started across the railroad tracks Lamp-man said he did not hear nor see a train. Lampman also declared the safety gates, were open and the road seemed clear. "Just as our horses had passed over the tracks," he said, "I heard a noise and turned my head in time to see the train on us. I gave the horses one pull, and that was all I knew, until soieoue picked me up and brought me to the hospital." Lampman did not seem to know much about the accident. He was found by.

a young man who said he was a physician and who called Patrolman L. J. Dyer, of the Southern district. The policemaja ordered an ambulance and the injured man was sent to the hospital. A few minute later the body of Greenbaum was picked up several feet away on the railroad track.

It was thought at first that he was still alive, but an examination at the hospital showed that he had died shortly after having been struck. When the engine struck the wagon the jar caused the horses to free themselves from the vehicle to which they were hitched and run across the other track. The wagon was carried three blocks before the train could be topped. Pieces of it were scattered along the tracks the entire distance. The engineer of the train, John E.

Strayer, 1502 Battery avenue, said he stopped his engine as'soon as possible and Lwent back to see what damage had been done. He said it was impossible to stop the train in time toprevent the accident and that he did not see the wagon until it had been struck. He offered to take the Injured man to the station on the train. The body of Greenbaum was taken to the morgue. Coroner Relnhart is making an investigation.

GAS ORDINANCE DISCUSSED South Baltimore Business Men Consider Several Topics. The South Baltimore Business Men's Association met last night at Friendship Hall, Montgomery street, near. William street, and discussed several topics. Action on the natural gas ordinance was deferred after addresses by Mr. Edwin D.

Loane In opposition and Mr. John Brannin in favor of it. A resolution advocating the passage of a law forbidding the issuing of trading stamps or similar coupons was passed, and the matter was referred to the committee on legislation. 1 Resolutions were passed indorsing the art exhibit of the Municipal Art Society which it is. proposed to hold at the Fifth Regiment Armory next April and May and pledging the association's aid to obtain the use of the armory for that The need of better car service on Light street, south of Heatl street, was spoken of by Mr.

He suggested that Tegular cars be run through to Ferry Bar, instead the "jerkwater" line that Is now used between Wells street and Ferry Bar. This matter was referred to the committee on. better car service. The ollowyig persons were elected to membership: Messrs. Henry R.

Schaum-burg, 1607 South Charles street; Charles E. Lighthiser, York and William streets, and Capt. John R. Sherwood, president of the Baltimore Steam Packet Company. The resignation of Mr.

TROOPS AND WARSHIPS, MAYBE Society Of War Ot 1812 Lanochei Program, In Which City, State And Nation May Take Part. The movement for the national centennial celebration of the battle of North Point and the bombardment of Fort McHenry- in 1814 to be held in this city and at Fort McHenry on September 9-13, 1L4, was launched last night at a meeting of the Society of the War of 1812 of Maryland at the Hotel Belvedere. The unveiling of a proposed national statue to Francis Scott Key at Fort McHenry and the restoration of the fort as at the time of the bombardment are included in the program. The co-operation of Federal troops has been promised by J.

Franklin Bell, and a large number of warships, with representatives from the participating armies, will be invited to join In the celebration. The plan in view by the society is to have a three days celebration, with pageants as recently held in England, with a mimic bombardment of Fort McHenry, and possibly a sham battle, as in 1889. Merchants and manufacturers of the cy will be asked to participate and co-operate in the celebration. Appropriations will be asked from Congress, the State Legislature and the city. "It is appropriate," said.

Gen. Peter Leary, president of the society, "that the celebration of the centenary of this important event should be initiated by our society, which is composed of descendants of the men who defended Baltimore in that crisis. "I have, therefore, appointed a committee, of which, by the direction of the society, I am the chairman, consisting of Mayor Mahool, Messrs. Charles England, James Edward Carr, JUdge Elliott, Dr. James D.

Iglehart, II. H. M. Lee and Alfred D. Bernard.

"The general scope of the celebration may embrace ceremonies extending through three days. A military and civic parade will be held at Patterson Park and Fort McHenry with illuminations at night, and a display of fireworks and a river paraae. "The Legislature Is to be invoked for the necessary appropriation, and such other matters considered as may seem proper to the committee." FALL ON STAIRS FATAL Miss Clara Copenhaver Fonnd At Bottom By A Friend. Mistaking a stairway for the door of her bedroom, Miss Clara Copenhaver, about 45 years old, missed her footing and plunged to her death down the steps Monday night, breaking her neck, at her home, 1615 North Caronne street. It was not until yesterday morning that her body was discovered.

Neighbors became alarmed for her welfare when she did not appear at the early hour in the morning she usually arose. Rev. Dr. W. T.

Way, 1611 North Caroline street, a friend, was also alarmed, and, ringing the bejl, went to the rear to obtain entrance. He forced his way into the house and went upstairs by the rear steps. He saw no one. Thinking Miss Copenhaver was ill, he went to her bedroom and rapped on the door. He received no response, but saw the bed, which had not been used.

Finding no one, he descended the front steps, and when he reached the first floor saw the. body lying prostrate. Miss Copenhaver was clothed in a night robe and by her side was a.coathanger with a coat on it. Dr. Way felt her pulse, but she was dead.

He sent for Coroner Caruthers, who gave a verdict of accidental death. Rev. Edgar T. Read, 1524 East Biddle street, pastor of Mount Lebanon Methodist Protestant Church, of which Miss Copenhaver was a member, was notided. He went to the house and took charge until the arrival of friends.

From the appearance of the house it is thought that Miss Copenhaver had prepared to retire. Realizing that she had left a coat in another room she' brought it back. As she was about to enter the room she mistook the stairway forvher door and fell down. The lights were turned out. She was a large woman of fine build, and, according to her neighbors, was never 111.

She was said to be of a jovial disposition, but had led a solitary life since the death pfher parents. Her father die about eight years ago and her mother followed him a few years Since then Miss Copenhaver lived alone. She is survived by two brothers, Messrs. William Copenhaver, of Springfield, Ohio, and John Copenhaver, of Parkton, Md. Two sisters, Mrs.

J. E. Todson, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Tillman Schaeffer, of Kenseyvllle, also survive. Explaining? To Jones.

"I say, Jones, dine with me at the housee tonight, will you?" "Certainly, with pleasure. Will, your wife ei- -pect me?" "No; that's the beauty of it. We had a quarrel this morning and 1 want to make her mad," PeekskiU Palladium. SOCIAL PROBLEMS 1 DISCUSSED Experjs Tell Of Remedies For Curing Evils Of Day Dr. Jones On Tuberculosis War.

A pleasing truth was expressed, at the afternoon session of the Fifth Maryland Conference of Charities and Corrections In Osier Hall of the Medical and Chlrurglcal Faculty Building yesterday1 when Dr. Allen W. Freeman, deputy health commissioner of Virginia declared that the oysters of Maryland could be eaten with the assurance that tbey carried no germ? of disease. This statement was in the nature of an anticlimax to what has been an Interesting succession of efforts to discover what he was going to say. When he was announced as a speaker, on "Shellfish and Carriers of Disease," many interested in the culture of oysters in Maryland petitioned the conference to strike his name from th- list of speakers on the ground that his statements might injure the oyster industry in Maryland.

What Dr. Freeman said occasioned much favorable comment, and his frank approval of the. cleanliness of the Maryland oyster, it was declared, will do much to assist the oystermen and packers in their business. Investigated Oyster Pollution. After outlining the process of oyster culture, Dr.

Freeman said, in part "In a number of instances it has been found that cases of typhoid were directly traceable to eating polluted oysters. Wes-leyan College had aa epidemic of typhoid due to oysters that were polluted in their beds by the sewage which came from nearby houses. Other epidemics have been traced with less accuracy to polluted oysters. "In Richmond I investigated 1,000 cases of typhoid covering, period of two years and found that none could be traced to oysters. I believe that the same would be found to be the case in Baltimore, because both Maryland and Virginia derive most Of their supply from the same source, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

"The danger of pollution arises in the oyster bed and again in the handling. After an investigation, which I made as the result of an agitation in Richmond against oysters, I found practically no pollution in the oyster beds. Fortunately in Maryland and Virginia the oyster beds are not so situated as to be contaminated by sewage, which is practically the only thing which can pollute them. And there is no danger, to my mind, to the Maryland oysters by the emptying of tlie sewage of Baltimore into the bay, because the sewage will be so changed by reduction as to be clean when diffused in the bay. "The only other danger, therefore, is in the handling.

After closely examining, the methods 'used in shucking oysters in Virginia and in some, instances in Maryland I have found that the processes are as a rule of such character as to minimize the danger of contamination. When oysters are packed for shipment in pond Ice there is danger, but the packers use almost exclusively artificial ice made from distilled water. "Maryland and Virginia are therefore fortunate in the excellent sanitary condition of their oysters and the Chesapeake Bay, uncontaminated as it is, is a priceless possession." Dr. L. F.

Barker, in commenting upon Dr. Freeman's paper, said the greatest danger, in his opinion, was from sewage, and was gladytohear that the Investigation had shown that it did not exist in thece States as it did in others. Besides Dr. Freeman's paper there were other Interesting ones read throughout the day, which was divided into morning, afternoon and night Sessions. The topics considered were mostly "Health and Sanlta-tion'i and "The Education of Children." Education Of Children Discussed.

"The Education of Children" embraced social hygiene and the other problems which now confront the modern sociologist. Some well-known students of social hygiene, including Dr. Lillian Welsh, Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, Dr.

Emil Novakpall of Baltimore, and Dr. Robert N. Wilson, secretary of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Social Disease, were present at the sessions. It is the Idea of the Baltimore workers, however, to enlighten gradually the public on the subject, so that with the knowledge gained they can eradicate those evils which they themselves may have contracted or assist in freeing others from it. Mr.

Hooker and Dr. Welsh spoke of the social diseases which are contracted and which in many cases are transmitted from parents, heedlessly or lgnorantly. These, they said, then become a heritage of the children and lead often to the death of both parents and -children. The local workers hope. to haye the children educated to a proper knowledge of such problems.

The problem of providing employment in trades for the young so as to decrease crime was also taken up, it was said by Judge Moses, of the Juvenile Court, that If trade schools were adopted in Baltimore the percentage of crime committed by children would be measureably decreased. Experts On Tuberculosis. Another subject considered was that of tuberculosis pnd its treatment. Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, Assistant Health 'Commissioner C.

Hampson Jones, Dr. Charles L. Mattfeldt, Dr. Marshal L. Price and Dr.

William Royal Stokes participated In this discussion. Dr. Jones outlined the fight against the disease, which Is being waged in Baltimore and said that at present there Lwere 3,000 cases in this city registered. He asserted that under the stringent rules of registration not many had been missed. Dr.

Jones declared that the public was not, doing all that could be done for the protection of the tuberculosis patient and his segregation to prevent a spread of the disease, and said that the new municipal hospital for tuberculosis patients should have 2,000 beds before it is finished. He said that the work of curing tuberculosis must spred to the negroes. "Race prejudice must be put aside. Five out of every 1,000 negroes In Baltimore died last year from tuberculosis." Gives Infant Mortality Figures. Dr.

Clemens von PIrquet gave figures on infant mortality and said that while for many years it had bea thought that only those infants lived who would be of use to society, it was now definitely known that many children could be saved who would be of real value to the community. Dr. Howard A. Kelly said that not until women had the right to vote would the State laws provide proper safeguards for the milk and other foods given to Infants. At night there was a decided but cheerful split of the members on the question of the proper supervision of the citizen who committed crime.

Dr. Theodore Cook; physician at the penitentiary, has been working for several years upon a plan, which embraces the examination of persons charged with crime, before they are tried, so as to segregate for treatment the defective and Insane and save the State the cost of lengthy trials by determining whether a man. was sane or insane before he was tried. Would Examine Prisoners Mentally Dr. Cook proposes to have physicians examine persons at the station houses.

If a person is found defective, either physically or mentally, in such a way as to influence reasoning powers, such a man would be treated and not necessarily tried. He would remain in the custody of the State until- cured. The Doctor also advocated Indeterminate sentences for criminals. Judge Elliott, of the Supreme Bench, declared Dr. Cook's plan unconstitutional and not along the lines of present legal development.

He said he took the Judge's view of the-case. He said that the State Constitution would not permit a man to be incarcerated for several years under treatment for a defect If the crime for which he was arrested called for only about three months' confinement. The plan of curing the defects, he declared, could be put into effect whiJe he was serving the legal term for his crime, but not before or after. The discussions today will concern the insane, delinquent and the blind, the addresses being given by well-known authorities. Ladies' Auxiliary Euchre.

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Fifth Regiment Veteran Corps last evening gave a progressive euchre party at the armory of the organization on Madison avenue. About 250 guests were present, and the members of the corps appeared in uniform. The arrangements wer in charge of a committee composed of Mrs. W. K.

I WANTS HUSBAND TO "PAY Sirs. Sadler Would Have Insanity Inquiry Stayed For Present. On a petition of Mrs. Sallle Stirling Sadler, an order was signed yesterday by ouage lleuisler, in Circuit Court No. '2, requiring her husband, Trof.

Fairman A. Sadler, to show cause by November 22 why the proceedings Instituted by Professor i Sadler to have his wife adjudicated insane should not be stayed until he has paid her $750 for medical and skilled testimony for her defense and $500 for the employment of counsel. An order was obtained by Professor Sadler in the Circuit Court last Saturday, through William Colton; attorney, requiring Mrs. Sadler to show causa why her 6ult fer limited divorce in that court should not be stayed pending th lunacy proceedings. In her petition, filed yesterday through, E.

Walton Brewlngton ana Richard B. Tippett, her attorneys, Mrs. Sadler asserts that the petition to have her declared Insane "was not filed in good faith," but "for the purpose of Intimidating her and compelling her to submit to unfair and unreasonable terms from her husband." She was greuiiy surpnseu uy acr uueuuuu action, she says, because of negotiations that were pending1 for an allowance for her support, and she promptly sued for a limited divorce and a proper allowance. The court is asked to consider as part of the petition Mrs. Sadler's bill 1 of complaint for divorce, especially a paragraph, in which she alleges that her husband.

has an annual income of $10,000. Mrs. Sadler reiterates her of ill treatment by her husband, and says that after he had 'induced her to dismiss her suit, for limited divorce," brought on September 7, 1906, he forced her to go to Mount Hope Asylum, when he pretended to be taking her on an automobile ride. In hopes of appeasing her husband, Mrs. Sadler states, she consented to go to sanatorium at IJamsvllle, for six months, but he sought to have her detained there indefinitely, and she obtained her release on October 18 last by a writ of habeas corpus.

Mrs. Sadler also states that she is wholly without means, and asserts that she never was a lunatic, "as her husband knows full well." In support of her assertion as to her mental condition, Mrs. Sadler filed with the petition affidavits of Dr. Samuel J. Fort and Dr.

Arthur P. Herring. EASTON SUFFRAGISTS TO MEET Mrs. Donald R. HooUer, Of Baltl-, more, To Be Principal Speaker.

a speech before the members of the Baltimore Chapter, American Institute of Banking, last night at the Calvert Bank Building Mr. Sereno S. Pratt, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of the city of New York and former editor of the Wall Street Journal, said the United States should invest more of its money abroad. A country paid attention to the geographical distribution of its Investments was far better off than one kept its capital wijhin its borders, ha added. "The investment increase in the United States," said Mr.

Pratt, "from 1900 to 1004 was about $25,000,000,000. The geographical distribution of capital is best in France. That-country has its capital invested In all parts of the world, and in this country alone it had Invested last year millions of dollars In about 169 dltterent enterprises. German capital is beginning to make Itself felt more with each succeeding year, and even Holland has her millions la American railroads and other industries. "But the investment interest of tha United States is chiefly national.

Saltimoc TO FIGHT TDBEBCOLOSIS Dr. Bosley Urges Campaign Against White Plague. MONEY IMPERATIVELY NEEDED Organizations 31 ay Have To Give -Up Work Because Of Lack Of Funds Other Diseases Inerease. At a meeting of the Business Men's Association of Northwest Baltimore, at Harrison's Halllast night, Dr. James Bo.sley, Commissioner of Health, spoke on the necessity of the city taking up the fight against tuberculosis.

Dr. Bosley said that at present the charity organizations which were fighting the disease. were becoming in need of funds to carry on the work, and that it would be only a matter of time when they would have to stop, or this account. He said that he had asked the Board of Estimates to give him an appropriation of enough money to allow him to add 15 nurses to his medical staff, to enable him to carry on work along these lines, He also said that the reason so many deaths occurred annually in Baltimore from tuberculosis was that a proper fight has not been carried on to prevent it. He pointed out the figures of the Health Department, showing that deaths occurring from other contagiqus diseases had been appreciably reduced In the last 30 years in jBaltimore.

"In 1879 the population of Baltimore was 332,000, and at present it is approximately 600,000, the Increase in population being 90 per cent," said Mr. Bosley. "In 1879 there were 484 deaths from diphtheria, and for the 10 months of 1909 only 59 deaths resulted from this The same condition exists with scarlet fever 367 children died of this disease in 1879, and in 1909 only 19 cases have resulted in death. This large reduction in death Is largely due to the placing of placards on houses, warning persons that the disease exists in the house." Dr. Bosley averred that Baltimore was the best vaccinated city, in the United States, saying that only on 1 per cent, of the children entering the primary schools of the city vaccination does not take.

"The deaths for the -year 1908 resulting from tuberculosis were 1,378, and, with the co-operation of the citizens of Baltimore, I can safely say that this enormous amount will be reduced materially within 10 years," said Dr. Bosley. He also spoke on the hookworm and pellagra and the damage they had done in the cities south of Baltimore. He said that these worms were in a small measure the cause of the people in some sections of the South being called lazy. He pointed out the necessity for persons keeping the private alleys milch cleaner than in the past, saying that the settlement of i irty water and dirt often breeds disease, which could be easily prevented.

The association adopted a set of resolu-tions Indorsing the remarks of Dr. Bosley and assuring him of its hearty support and co-operation in his work along these lines. A committee was appointed to o-operate with Dr. Bosley as far as possible, consisting of Messrs. E.

Walter Giles, W. F. Scott and W. M. Gawthorp.

Mr. Otto R. Eichorn and Mr. G. W.

Dr. Rosenau, she said, declared himself in favor, of high -salaries for teachers, but would not give his opinion concerning exemption of elementary teachers from examination for advance in pay, which is granted the' teachers in the secondary schools.

For some time the teachers in the elementary schools asserted that it is unjust to subjeet them to examination for increase in salary when teachers In the City College and the high schools are not required to pass a test. Inadequacy of pay, too, has for a long time been a source of discontent, and the teachers finally decided to place their grievances before the School Board. At the meeting the scale of pay of school, teachers In the principal cities was read. The highest pay of a grade teacher in the Baltimore schools Is $700, while the minimum is $444 a year. Substitutes are paid when, they perform duty and "emergency substitutes receive $1 for every day they serve.

In all cities of which pay scales were read no examination is required for advance in salary. According to the data, New York's maximum pay a year is $1,240 for grade teachers, and the lowest is $600, with an advance each year of $40. In St. Louis the teachers are graded as second assistant, first assistant and head assistant, with three years' interval between each grade. The highest pay for second assistant is $840 and the lowest $560 for first assistant the highest is $920 and the lowest $860, and for head assistant the maximum is $1,100 and the minimum $996.

The pay in other cities is Minneapolis, $600 to Memphis, $600 to $900 Toronto, $500 to $850 Chicago, $650 fo $900. In San Francisco it is necessary to pass a civil service examination to obtain appointment as a teacher, but after the first examination no other Is required. The starting salary is $840, higher than. Baltimore's maximum for grade teachers. In Denver, the former home of Superintendent Van Sickle, teachers begin at $600 and the maximum is $960, with a yearly increase of $72.

As a part of the diamond jubilee celebration of the South Baltimore Station Methodist Episcopal Church, William street, near Montgomery, being held this 4veek, a Sunday-school institute and rally was held at the church yesterday afternoon and evening under the auspices of the Baltimore City Sunday-School Association. The afternoon session began a 3 o'clock, when the teachers were divided into subdivisions, where the work of the Sunday-school was discussed.

Those who addressed the meeting and their subjects werel Mr. Robert L. Hooper, "How to Win Men;" Rev. Morgan E. Pease, "How to Become Trained Teachers." and Mrs.

W. E. Williams, on "The New Graded Lessons." The fact that the graded school is being universally introduced into the Methodist Episcopal Sunday-schools made Mrs. Williams' address of especial interest. The work of the various departments of the Sunday-school was discussed by Miss Byrd McLennan, who explained the "Beginner's Department." Miss Carrie B.

Hill spoke on the "Primary Department," and Mrs. Charles E. Hay explained the work of the "Junior Department." Supper was served in the lecture room. Rev. Kenneth G.

Although professing himself opposed to such subsidies on general principles, and "somewhat of a free-trader," Mr. Baker said he could see no other way to compass the restoration of the merchant marine than by such a measure. Amendments to the act of March 1891, the Mall-Carrying bill, he said, were to be drawn by Mr. Robert H.

Smith, of Baltimore, which would proviae the required legislation and would be just and equitable to all. "Is not the general object to provide a Enbsidy?" asked General Trippe. 'Twb of the provisions are for dlffer-ent'als on duties and tonnage the general bill is simply a mail contract, with heavy increase for old lines," said Mr. Baker. American Ships More Costly.

In reply to further questions, Mr. Baker said that the existing laws of the United States put this country at irreparable disadvantage with other countries. Better accommodations, better food and better wages were made mandatory by the United States, he said, and to such an extent that American ships could not compete with those of other flags. On foreign vessels, he explained, seamen's pay runs from $6 to $8 a on American ships it is $30. Seven cents a man is sufficient to feed foreign sailors, while 60 cents is prescribed on American vessels.

Material for building American ships, he continued, is free from tariff charges, but American labor Is higher, although the labor organizations here permit the use of machinery and devices not allowed by foreign labor unions. Mr. Epstein cited the fact that appren-. tices on ships work for five years before drawing pay, and then, start only at $5 a month, while foreign sailors work 18 hours a day, or more than an American sailor would dr am of doing. "The United States today receives revenue from its foreign mail service, which costs only $3,000,000," concluded Mr.

Baker, "and the $9,000,000 profit would quadruple the tonnage of the United States in threeyears A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Baker for his address. Declaration Of Sympathy. The preamble and resolutions declare "That the movement for the expansion of Baltimore's shipping interests has as-, sumed tangible and definite form in the organization, by a number of prominent and public-spirited citizens of this city, of the Shipping League of Baltimore that the decline of the country's merchant marine T1ias, in a large measure, resulted in the loss Baltimore of its once great volume of over sea trade and filled American ports with vessels flying foreign flags that the opening of the Panama Canal, which is no longer a remote hope, will bring with it vast possibilities for an Interchange of trade between this port. Central America, the west coast of South America and the Orient; that legislation by Congress is contemplated which, if enacted, will place Baltimore in a position to grasp the opportunities presented by the canal's completion provided this city's interests are protected in any action Congress may take that the Shipping League of Baltimore believes that the appointment of an advisory commission which shall report to the President and Postmaster-General upon the claims of each port for the establishment of small lines will "best subserve and promote- the postal and commercial interests of the United States, and believes that a just and equitable division of service can only be secured after careful consideration by a commission posted as to the maritime commercial conditions existing In both the ports of the United States and foreign ports with which It is desired to establish steamship communication, and that if this equitable distribution is guaranteed by Congress it is the purpose of the Shipping League of Baltimore to encourage the establishment of a line of steamers from this port to Central and South American ports.

"It is. therefore declared that the executive committee of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association has considered the purposes of the Shipping League of Baltimore, is in sympathy with its objects; assures it of the active support and cooperation of this Organization, and authorizes that a copy of these resolutions be sent to. each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to the different commercial organizations of the country with which we are in correspondence."
