UNIT LEAVES PARADE AT REVIEWING STAND Later Marches From Plaza As Broening Begins Speech. One discordant note marred the tender and vibrant harmony of Armistice Day in Baltimore. This was the public affront of Mayor Broening by the Baltimore Post of the Twenty -ninth Division Association when it swung out of line of parade of World War veterans, refusing to be reviewed by him, and a little while later, when it marched off the Memorial Plaza in front of the City Hall when he arose to speak, refusing to hear his tribute to the men of Maryland who had died in "the war to end wars." Mayor Broening felt this public expression of disapproval of his course in consenting to the holding of a demonstration on the Memorial Plaza later in the day of a niassmeeting in favor of limitation of armaments felt it keenly, lie had expected something of the sort and had steeled himself to meet it, but when it actually had occurred it was more bitter than he had thought it could be. ITS EFFECT DR.A3IATIC. Nothing of the sort had ever occurred in Baltimore.

No affront so cutting had ever been offered in public and in his presence to the city's executive. In many ways it was the most dramatic thing in the city's official life. There was not -the slightest disorder. The very quietness -with which it was carried out increased its dramatic effect. The parage had swung along its published route, and the men of three wars who composed it had received cheers all along the line of march.

At the head of the line was an escort of policemen, then came the One Hundred and Seventeenth Trench Mortar Battery, led by former "Bob" Gill, who had been their head when they left Baltimore for France, and then a small detachment of feeble, gray-haired veterans of the Civil War in the blue uniforms of the Grand Army of the Republic and a few men who had seen service in the Spanish War. They came on, down Hol-liday street with their bands playing, nnd their flags flying, marched past the City Hall portico and were reviewed by Mayor Broening and those with hitn who stood with uncovered heads. MEN LEAVE LINE. Behind the men of the Grand Army came the men of the Baltimore Post, Jed by former Lieut. H.

J. Lepper, with the band of the Maryland School for Uoys at their head. These were the men who had protested against the use of the Plaza for the limitation of armaments meeting, declaring it was to be a pacifist demonstration. These, too, had their flags flying. At Holliday and Fayette streets the unit swung out of line, refusing to pass In review before the Mayor, and went cast, on Fayette street, turning into the plaza midway between Holliday and Gay streets, and took up its position at about the middle of the open space.

As it swung around the corner a cheer went up from the crowd who had gathered to witness this evidence of the post's displeasure. Most of the men marching behind the Baltimore Post followed it around the corner, although a few other organizations which were in Jine continued along Holliday street and passed before the Mayor and his party. As the first of those of the Baltimore Post swung out of line a crimson flush spread over Mayor Broening's face, but he said nothing. He brought his teeth hard together, and except for the flush the expression of his face did not change. He put on his hat, only to remove it when the first detachment of those who did not approve of the Baltimore Post's methods passed before him, and he kept it off until the last of the parade had gone by.

He made no comment, but there were many on the portico of the hall who were not so self-contained. Many of these were not friends of the Mayor, but they said bitter things about the post's course in publicly affronting the Mayor. MANY SHOW SYMPATHY. A few minutes later Mayor Broening and those with him walked two by two from the City Hall to the stand in the plaza, between lines of policemen. The crowd which had gathered in the streets about had surged into the plaza, until the whole place was packed with men and women, but there was an uncanny stillness about the place as wihe Mayor and his party walked to the stand.

'The cheers which had been given at the beginning of the post's demon- stration of disapproval had died out quickly, and there were many expres-( Continued on Page 3, Column 6.)

Crane's FIELD MAY BECOME CROWDED Gossip Xow Hinges On Whether John "Walter Smith Will Be Candidate. On prospective aspirants for the United States Senatorship next year political gossip, speculation and thought has been focused generally by the results of Tuesday's election, the apparent breakdown of the Republican machine and the opening fire on Senator Joseph Irwin France by the former Maryland G. O. P. leader, Edward C.

Oarrington. Speculation now practically is centered on the prospective Democratic nominee, as the landslide for the Democratic ticket last Tuesday almost certainly will increase ambitions in Democratic breasts. Before Tuesday's elections nearly all the gossip had centered on Dr. France and on the likelihood of a candidate being entered against him in the G. O.

P. primaries. Hinging On John Walter Smith. All Democratic gossip hinges on the plans or intentions of former United States Senator John Walter SnUh. But it is not all certain that Senator Smith wants the nomination.

Although still remarkably vigorous, and as alert mentally as he was 20 years ago, Senator Smith will be 71 years old before the next election rolls around, and nearly 7S before he could take his sea. if elected. A few of his closest friends believe that Senator Smith gradually is coming to the conclusion that it would be better for him to conserve the" vigor and strength which he now has and continue his active interest in politics without subjecting himself to the rigors of a campaign or of official life. If the beliefs of these friends are sustained and Senator Smith is not a candidate, the Derocratic field may be so crowded that in initial primary heat will be necessary to decide the party's standard bearer in the November race. Governor Is Considered.

If Governor Ritchie gets through his legislative program at t'3 next session of the General Assembly politicians concede generally it will not only strengthen the Den-oeratic party for the Senatorial race, but is likely to add immeasurably to the personal strength of the Governor. No n.atter what the Governor's personal inclinations may be at this time, he cannot be left out of consideration for the Democratic Senatorial nomination, politicians say. Joshua W. Miles, of Somerset county, is said to be ambitious, and might even be willing to make a fight for the nomination, in the opinion of many. But Senator Smith would not be likely to sit idly by and let Mr.

Miles capture the nomination. Former Judge N. Charles Burke, it is understood, would not be averse to making a general election fight, but his friends say he would re fuse to make a primary campaign. Shehan Loomini; Larger. W.

Mason Shehan, of Talbot county, is looming larger on the Democratic horizon daily, and his successful fight, against heavy odds to elect John S. McDaniel to the State Senate last Tuesday has not hurt his prestige any. In all discussions of candidates for either Senatorship or Governorship Mr. She-han's name is mentioned. From Western Maryland Emory L.

Coblentz, of Frederick, is considered available material, while Hugh A. McMullen, former Comptroller, from Allegany, is reported to be ambitious, but not available, in the minds of many political leaders. Former Mayor James II. Preston, it is believed generally, would like the nomination, but his chances for securing it seem small. Another city man whose name is being discussed more for higher office is William Milnes Maloy, chairman of the Public Service Commission.

On the Republican side Edwin G. Baetjer, boomed as a candidate for the nomination by Mr. Carrington, refused to comment yesterday. It all came as a surprise to Mr. Baetjer, who has been ill at his city home for several days.

France Makes Reply. Senator France yesterday made reply to Mr. Carrington, whom he termed his "good, if somewhat erratic, "Those who understand the politics of the State," said Senator France, "know very well that my nomination and election were not brought about by contri- butions to the campaign fund. i "I am very fond of Mr. Carrington and know very well his characteristics and his breezy way of getting into the newspapers, nis political opinions, so far as Maryland is concerned, are based on an inadequate and superficial knowledge of facts.

"No man in Maryland has a higher regard for Mr. Baetjer than I. He is undoubtedly a man of strong intellect, possessing unusual and profound knowl edge on public questions. If I did not re spect Mr. Baetjer good judgment so highly, I might be more inclined to be lieve that he would surrender his most enviable position as a leader of the American bar to assume the arduous and unappreciated duties of a United States Senator."

1 Differences between the city and Baltimore county over the replacement of roads and bridges that will be Howled after the completion of the greater dam at Loch Raven have been adjusted, It was announced last night, and tbe county's suit to enjoin the city from flooding the affected area will be withdrawn, probably today. The agreement was prepared by City Solicitor Marchant and Edward II. Burke, counsel to tbe County Commissioners of Baltimore county, and executed last Wednesday. Its main features are Relocation by the city of the Dulaney Valley road by June 1, 1922." Relocation by the city of the Paper Mill road and bridge and the Phoenix road and bridge by July 1, 1922.. Plans For Arbitration.

Arbitration of the dispute over the relocation of the Warren bridge and road by Henry G. Shirley, roads engineer for Baltimore county, and August E. Christ-hilf, City Highways Engineer. In the event of a disagreement they will call in a third arbitrator. Should they fail to agree upon, the third man, Governor Ritchie will make the selection.

The suit to be withdrawn by the county was based on the act of 1908, prohibiting the city from flooding or inundating any county road or bridge until replaced by a new road or bridge, or until the city and county had reached an agreement as to how and when these roads and bridges should be replaced. It was said last night that the withdrawal would enable the city to proceed with its plans for flooding territory back of the dam at a height of 210 feet. With the exception of a gap 50 feet wide, which had to be left at the old height of 1S8 feet, to prevent the flooding of additional territory, the dam has reached its final height of 240 feet, Water Engineer William A. Megraw announced last night. To Close Gap In Dam.

Mr. Megraw said he expected to have the contractors start December 1 to raise the gap to 210 feet. The balancing reservoir south of Loch Raven will be completed by that date, and as soon thereafter as the gap at Loch Raven is filled to 210 feet, the city will begin storing additional water. This will mean the flooding of parts of the Dulaney Valley road and the lower part of the Warren mill. "But even if we now had the entire dam at a height of 240 feet we could not store any more water back of it than we have at the present time." Mr.

Megraw said, "because the water is not there to be stored, due to the lack of rain. Even at a height of 210 feet all the way across, no part of the Dulaney Valley road or Warren would be flooded under present conditions. Will Let City Flood Area. Roads Engineer Shirley said Baltimore county was satisfied to let the city proceed with its plans under the terms of the agreement, because a definite time for the relocation of the roads and bridges that were in dispute has been fixed. He said the people of the county using these roads and bridges would be satisfied, even after flooding, to use temporarly other and roundabout means of travel, knowing that new roads and bridges were to be built within a few months.

Shirley said the agreement was satisfactory to the people of the county as well as the County Commissioners and himself. 3fo Gunpowder Water Here. Not a drop of water from the Gunpowder came into Baltimore yesterday, the tunnel between Loch Raven and Montebello having been drained, to permit work on one of the shafts in connection with the balancing reservoir being built south of Loch Raven. Water Engineer Megraw threw Druid Lake into service, to supplement Lake Ashburton and the Western High Service reservoir. Mr.

Megraw said he expected to have the Loch Raven-Montebello tunnel out of service three days, but found that the contractors on the balancing reservoir were not proceeding with the shafts in accordance with his plans. He ordered the work stopped late yesterday until a more satisfactory plan of operation was adopted. This means, Mr. Megraw said, that Gunpowder water will be turned back into the general distribution system tomorrow and until further notice. Wilson Arnold, 7, Shot; William Jones, 15, Is Held Youth Says He Aimed Pistol At Child, Bnt Did Hot Know The Weapon Would Fire.

Wilson Arnold, 7-year-old son of John P. Arnold, 1157 North Mount street, is at the Franklin Square Hospital with a bullet wound in his temple. Wilson, while standing in front of his home yesterday, was called to the cellar window of 1159 North Mount street, by William Jones, 15 years old, of that address, and shot.

Aision Of Pence Universal. The Rev. Dr. Joseph Fort Newton, of New York, who during part of the Avar was pastor of the City Temple in London, chief speaker at the Cathedral grounds, said, in part "Is this vision of universal peace, which has appeared to men throughout the ages after every war, an illusion or an inspiration of God? If it is an illusion, there lies before the world a future no man can face without dismay.

If it is the inspiration of God, I can foresee a time when the world inevitably will be ruled by moral intelligence and practical good will. There need be no more war." Before the address a procession of the clergy and the choir formed at the temporary chapel and marched to the open-air pulpit, with Dr. Newton. Bishop John Gardner Murray and the Rev. Dr.

R. Men In Bine Join With Those In Khaki At Armistice Day Event. Aside from the band and banners, the Governor and the big dance floor, the boys in khaki and the "boys" in Grand Army of the Republic blue, the most noticeable thing last night at the big Armistice Day ball of the American Legion Associated Posts was a French box car. It bore the familiar legend "40 hommes, 8 cheveaux," and was there only to be laughed to scorn by the boys who once had used this de luxe method of travel in the "sunny" France of the pre-Armistice days. This was just one more touch of gay-ety to the occasion, which boasted a Governor, while it deliberately lacked a Mayor.

The Governor had vowed he would not spoil a ball with a speech. "When he entered, however, he was greeted by Chairman H.J. Lepper, Milton A. Record and the Grand Army of the Republic veterans, who escorted him out into the big armory hall while the band struck up the State anthem. Crowd Masses Around Ritchie.

Crowds gathered from all quarters of the hall whenvthe applause started and hemmed in the Governor and his escorts with their backs to the bandstand in the center. There was no way of escape, so the Governor said if the World War veterans could dance like they could fight, why, he wanted to see the dancing right away.
