THE SUN, BALTIMORE, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 29, 1915. 14 99 DEMANDS AHEAD OP FUND m. HAYES' BODY HERE! "5quealing Like Pigs Under A Gate. TYPHUS AT BAYYIEW Dr. Gorter Seeks To Find Why No Report Was Made.

afternoon bicycle ride or jaunt at the accustomed times. He lived, worked and took his recreation by schedule and those who attempted to disarrange that schedule were brushed aside as if by the force of a locomotive. He Never Broke That Schedule Gen. Ferdinand C. Latrobe called one day to see Hayes by appointment.

He was a little late ancLthe clock was just striking 2 when he walked leisurely into the outer office of the Mayor's suite. Out of his private office popped the Mayor, his face set hard for the door leading into the corridor. "Mr. Mayor," began General Latrobe. "I can't see you now," said Hayes without stonping.

"It is 2 o'clock and -v. is-rj rrr .1,1 DIAGNOSIS MADE ON AUGUST 6 Forty-Two Cases Ot Typhoid Fever Reported Last Week Compared AVithT For Same Period In 1914 A case of typhus fever in the Municipal Hospital at Bayview Asylum is being investigated by Health Commissioner Gorter. It was stated yesterday that the patient was sent to the hos pital August 6 last, and that his ailment then was diagnosed as typhoid fever by a local physician i No report of the case was made to: the Health Department until last Friday, when the State Board of Health notified Dr. Gorte.that there was a typhus fever patient at Bayview. The information surprised the Commissioner of Health, although the department has known for sime time that there was some typhus in Baltimore.

A bulletin to this effect was issued four or five weeks ago. 1 "Why the physician who first saw the patient and gave a diagnosis of typhoid fever did not report the case to the department is somewhat of a mystery to me," said Dr. Gorter. "It may be that he thought the report would be sent in by the hospital. Even at that, two reports on the same case would not have done any harm." Physicians Keauired To Report.

Dr. Gorter pointed out that physicians in private practice, as well as all hospitals, are required to report typhoid fever to enable the department to trace the origin of the case and take steps, if necessary, to prevent other cases from the same source. Why the physician in charge of the Municipal Hospital at Bayview did not report the case to the Health Department, and why he waited until Friday to notify the State Board of Health that it was typhus fever is unknown to Dr. Gorter. He said he would get all the facts as soon as possible.

Ordinarily all cases of contagious and infectious diseases at Bayview are reported promptly to the Health Department. An official record of the case was made on the weekly bulletin of the department, published yesterday afternoon by Dr. Gorter. The bulletin also shows that there were 42 cases of typhoid fever last week, compared with 17 for the corresponding period of 1914. Dr.

Gorter said he was unable to explain the increase. It might have been due. he stated, to one of several causes. Each case will be looked into, with a view to tracing the origin of it. Two Deaths From Typhoid.

There were two deaths from typhoid last week. The bulletin also showed 164 persons died from various causes during the week. Five fatal accidents and the death of 22 babies under 2 years of age. from summer complaints, were included in thetotal. There was 1 death from diphtheria, 1 from tetanus.

38 from tuberculosis, 11 from cancer. 17 from heart disease, 1 from bronchitis, 15 from pneumonia and 8 from Bright's disease. Twelve inmntes died at Bayview Asylum, and there were 38 deaths in hospitals, one at the penitentiary and nine in other institutions. The annual death rate per 1.000 of the entire population, less nonresidents, was 13.5S. For the white nonulation alone the rate was 1L28, while for the colored it was 26.58.

GIRL STABBED IN STORE Kopp Runs 5 Blocks To Doctor's With Knitting Needle In Thigh. Katherine Kopp, 12 years old 30 North Durham street, was stabbed twice with a 6-inch knitting needle, while she and two other little girls were in a store on Broadway about 6.30 last night. A man, of whom the girl and her companions gave a good description, brushed them at the time the stabbing was done and he is believed to have thrust the needle into the girl. He hurried away immediately afterward. The girl was wounded in the shoulder and in the thigh, the thigh being pierced an inch and a half.

The frightened girl ran five blocks from the store to the drug store of Dr. Joseph S. Sandler, Baltimore and Ann streets. Dr. Sandler extracted the needle and applied an antiseptic.

Little Katherine and her companion, Carrie Lightner, 12 years old, 7 North Durham street, and Helen Flagle, 11 years old, 18 North Wolfe street, were in the store looking over the counters, when Katherine whispered to the other two. "Somebody stuck me in the shoulder A man had just passed them and edged off. The three girls watched him, but as he kept on they turned back to the counters. Within three minutes the man crowded past the three again and Katharine cried out "Oh, he stuck me again The man left the store in a hurry. The three-inch shank of the needle was protruding from the girl's skirt.

Little Helen seized it to withdraw it, but the other' girl screamed in agony and ran from the store to Dr. Sandler's. The needle point had bent in the girl's flesh, and the druggist had difficulty in extracting it. STEEL BUSINESS COMING Pittsburgh To Ship Through Baltimore, Says F. R.

Darby. Predicting a future closer business relationship between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, F. R. Darby, district passenger agent of the Western Maryland Railway Company, with headquarters in the Smoky City, arrived in Baltimore yesterday. Mr.

Darby says that, in his opinion, there will be a heavy movement of steel products from the Pittsburgh district through the port of Baltimore, to be shipped through the Panama Canal to ports on the west coast of the United States and in South America. This city, he says, is the logical city through which this business should be handled and that the Pittsburgh steel manufacturers are more and more realizing this fact. "Baltimore occupies a position which cannot well be attacked by competing cities," said Mr. Darby yesterday. "She is the nearest northern port to the canal and also enjoys a differential rate which is a marked advantage." vAt the present time Mr.

Darby says there is pronounced activity in and around Pittsburgh and that the steel trade is benefiting. An indication of the better times, according to Mr. Darby, is the fact that people are traveling more. The passenger business, he fays, is increasing, as people have more money to spend in visiting their friends in other cities. my office hours are over.

You must come here before 2 o'clock. "-But, Mr. Mayor," General Latrobe pleaded. vIt was useless. Hayes was out in the corridor and making for the elevator.

Hayes knew no man in Baltimore better than he knew William Shepherd Bryan, Jr. One day Mr. Bryan called at the City Hall and asked -to see the Mayor. He gave his card, for few men could get into the Mayor's office without first sending in cards. "I'm too busy to see you," said the Mayor, as he came to the door of his private office.

Iad as a hornet, Mr. Bryan left the City Hall, went to his private office and wrote the Mayor a sharp letter on courtesy. "Stovey" Brown Got Out. A day or "so later George Stewart (Stovey) Brown, then a member of the City Council, called to see the Mayor about some minor places in one of the departments. He walked up to the Mayor's desk and asked if the appointments were to be made.

Hayes told Brown that he would not talk appointments to him. Brown was persistent and insisted upon getting an answer then and there. He was ordered to leave the office. When he refused he was told that if he did not go out he would be thrown out. Brown stpod his ground, declaring that he would not go out until he got his answer, and that he would not be thrown out.

This was enough for Hayes. He summoned George N. Zimmerman, his messenger-detective, and directed him to "show the gentleman the door." Even then Brown refused to. He still insisted upon getting his question answered. A few minutes later he landed out into the office of William P.

Ryan, secretary to the Mayor. "What Hayes needs," said William Shepard Bryan, commenting upon this episode, "is some one to take him out and give him a good spanking." TWO DROWNED IN HARBOR William Tybuck And John Nick Misstep In Dark And Fall To Death. Two men were drowned in the harbor yesterday through accidental missteps. The victims were William Tybuck, second engineer of the tug August Denhard, 1111 Streeper street. John Nick, 50 years old, 200 Fleet street.

Tybuck's body is still in the water. The crew of the policeboat Lannan gave up the search until daylight. Nick was drowned off the pier of the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company at Dock street and East Falls avenue, and Tybuck at Spedden's shipbuilding plant, Boston street, near Kenwood avenue. Nick was watchman for the Merchants and Miners' and was making his rounds when in stepping from one scow to an other he misjudged the space and fell. He cried for help, but when a dozen men ran from the wharf to.

assist him, he had disappeared. The scows were removed and the Lannan threw out its drags, found the body and, took it to the morgue. Tybuck had quit work only a few minutes when he met death. His tug had been made fast to the Spedden wharf and he started for home, failed to watch his steps and dropped down between tne tugboat and the wharf. The other men of the crew heard the splash and ran to investigate.

Tybuck was nowhere to be seen. He had evidently struck the wharf piling with his head as he fell and the blow rendered him senseless. The Lannan was soon on the scene, but the crew failed to find the body. AUTO HITS BUGGY; ONE HURT August Rlttmiller Suffers Cuts And Bruises; Companion Escapes. A collision between a buggy and an automobile in Harford avenue near the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge, resulted in serious injury to one man last night.

The horse dashed away and threw the man from the buggy. The automobile was speeded up and disappeared, it is charged, though the license number was sheared from the car by the collision.

"There has been a great deal published about how much greater the demands on the Milk and Ice Fund are this year than they were last," some one remarked yesterday, "but I haven't heard just how much greater or how much less the contributions are this year than they Vere in 1914." How do the contributions compare?" The answer to this question is that the appeals have brought more money to the Milk and Ice Fund this year than last, but that the increase in contributions has not been in proportion to the increase in demands. The grand total of the Milk and Ice Fund at noon, on August 28, 1914. was The grand total at noon yesterday was $20,432.03. The increase is S3.503.92. -The Milk and Ice Fund is larger this year than it has ever been.

More people have contributed than ever before, and some people have given larger contributions than they ever gave before. Last year the grand total of the Milk and Ice Fund for the entire summer was less than $1 8,000. Expenditures Increase. Comparative figures of the expenditures for the two years are. of course, not yet available, but it is known that they are far in excess of previous years.

The Federated Charities not long ago found their expenditures for milk and ice diet this year are far in excess of their total expenditures for all manner of material relief last year. The Babies" Milk Fund Association found that the increase in the number of babies needing help during some parts of the summer was more than i0 per cent. That is why the Milk and Ice Fund, despite the fact that it is so much larger this year than last, is not yet large enough to meet the demands that arc made upon it. More contributions are urgently needed. The Vinegar Social, for an organization of its kind, is doing more than its share in helping along the needly little ones.

At an entertainment Friday even-img at Vinegar Park, in the rear of 232 North Schroeder street, was realized, which was brought to The Sun office yesterday afternoon by a committee of four members. This is the second time within a few weeks the social has worked hard for the babies, for on August 6 a dance was given which netted $23.50. So, when it comes to caring for helpless tots the Vinegar Social is not anywhere near so "sour" as one would be led to suppose by the name. Some Special Cases.

John II. Spearman, one of the American Red Cross surgeons at a German line hospital and former resident surgeon at Mercy Hospital, has written an interesting letter to his friends, Dr. Thomas R. Chambers, of this city. Dr.

Spearman is 30 years old, and he enlisted in the Red Cross service one year ago. He is the only Baltimore surgeon now on the eastern German battle line. In a recent letter to Dr. Chambers, Dr. Spearman wrote that he had received an honor which was a surprise, but he gave no details.

He told how the Russians were driven eastward by the forces under General von Hinden-burg and his associate commanders. "It is not unusual for me to have seven or eight operations a day," wrote Dr. Spearman, "a majority being skull work. The most dangerous wounds are those made by shrapnel. Of course, there are other operations performed.

Fractures caused by bullets splintering bone are common. Then, there is a general run of surgical cases not due to bullet wounds." Dr. Spearman will return to. New York in October. For The Babies And The Sick.

The Rev. J. W. Smith And Church Officers Meet Cortege. TO HOLD FUNERAL TOMORROW Member Of His Baraca Class To Study Last Lesson Prepared By 111m Today.

The body of former Mayor Thomas G. Hayes, who died suddenly in Oakland, Friday afternoon, was placed upon a train in thatcity at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and "reached Camden Station at 11.30 o'clock last night. It was taken to his home, 2901 St. Paul street. Miss Julia Hayes, sister of the.

former Major, and J. Frank Fox, of this city, a close friend of Mr. Hayes, accompanied the body. Miss Hayes telegraphed to Mr. For immediately after her brothers death and he at once brft for' Oakland, arriving there yesterday morning.

Several friends in Oakland were at the station to, pay a last tribute to Mr. Hayes and to express their sympathy to his sister, who more than anyone else feels the shock of his death. Church Officers 3Ieet Body. At the station to meet the body were the Rev. John William Smith, pastor of Central Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Mr.

Hayes was a member: John Myers, treasurer of the church James Walker, superintendent of the Sunday-school; Daniel B. Chambers, a personal friend vof Mayor Hayes and member of the Baraca Class, and John U. Reinhardt, bailiff for Judge Thomas Ireland Elliott. J. W.

Graves, another member of the Baraca Class, met the party at Green Spring and accompanied it to Baltimore. In accordance with the wishes or Miss Hayes, the funeral will be simple. Services will be conducted at 2.30 o'clock tomorrow afternon at the home by Mr. Smith, assisted by several, other ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Among these will be the Rev.

Carlton D. Harris, editor of the Baltimore Southern Methodist. The pallbearers will be members of the Baraca Class. Burial will be in Loudon Park Cemetery. The news of the death of Mr.

Hayes came as a decided shock to his hundreds of friends in the city. Many of them bad seen him only a short time ago, and he then was in comparatively good health and was looking with eagerness to his vacatidn, for though the Mayor worked hard, he always anticipated with joy those times when he could take a respite from his labors. While members of the bar with whom Mr. Hayes worked for so many years felt his death keenly, the members of his Baraca Class and the other young men with whom he was so closely in touch in his religious work looked upon his death as the loss of one who was not only a friend but a benefactor, ever to help them. Class To Study Last Lesson.

This morning the members of his Baraca Class will gather at Central Methodist Episcopal Church South to hear explained to them the last International Sunday-School lesson prepared for them by Mr. Hayes. This lesson was published in The Sun yesterday and was sent to The Sun by Mr. Hayes from Oakland only a few days ago. Mr.

Hayes' interpretation of the Scriptures was illuminative and eloquent and the members of the class always looked upon his lessons as spiritual treats. He was to have resumed his teachings within the next few weeks. The members, on his departure for Oakland, wished him a pleasant vacation and expressed the hope that he would return to them iu splendid health. A short tribute will be given at the meeting of the class this morning. The Rev.

Thomas J. Lambert, pastor of Central Church, also will refer to the death of Mr. Hayes in the services at the church this morning. While Mr. Hayes was for a long time connected with Central Church and never surrendered his interest in the Baraca Class, he transferred his membership a few months ago to the North Baltimore Methodist Church, now in the course of erection -nt Charles street' and University Parkway.

Mr. Haves was one of the leaders in the movement to have a church established in that neighborhood and was appointed chairman of the laymen's committee in charge of the work. He took much interest in the work of erection and had hoped to take part in the dedication exercises. Memorial Exercises Delayed. On account of the absence from the city of members of the Supreme Bench, as well as a number of the leading members of the bar, memorial services for Mr.

Hayes will not be held for some weeks. It is felt that as many of his associates as possible should participate in these exercises. Many appreciations of Mr. Hayes' work were pronounced yesterday by those who had been in touch with him. Apropos of his success as a public man, William Colton, lawyer, recalled the story of Mr.

as Federal Attorney in Maryland. It seems that the late Senators Gorman urged Mr. Hayes for appointment as Federal judge in a certain-distant Federal territory. President Cleveland, who was in office then, had been deluged with requests for the appointment by prominent Senators, Congressmen, from all sections of the country. One day, in the midst of Senator Gorman's enthusi-astic praise of Mr.

Hayes, President Cleveland turned to the Senator and said: "If Mr. Hayes is the fit and proper man you present for judge, why not appoint him in Maryland as Federal Attorney?" Mr. Gorman replied: "Yes, sir." And Mr. Hayes got the app.oint-ment as attorney. "He was the most aggressive, resourceful and courageous man I ever met, take him as you may lawyer, politician, citizen" said Mr.

Colton Yesterday. An Amusing Court Incident. An amusing incident occurred some years ago when Mr. Hayes was arguing a case in the Superior Court before the late Judge Stewart. In the heat of his argument Mr.

Hayes exclaimed, "Why, your Honor, I could fill this trial table with books containing decisions in support of my contention." "Don't do it, Mr. Hayes' Judge Stewart said, persuasively, interrupting the argument. "What you say." continued the Judge, "reminds me of the lawyer who told his client that they would win a case because all. the books on a certain side of a room were in their favor. The case was lost by the lawyer and his client reproached him for it.

'Didn't you tell asked the client, that we were sure to win, as all the beoks on that side of the room were in our favor replied the lawyer, 'but I forgot you that all the books on those two other sides were against "Go on, Mr. Hayes," Judge Stewart thensaid, urbanely, having finished his sdfy. vfMr. Hayes, who had been interrupted with1 his hand uplifted, proceeded with his argument, but did not call for tuat 'table full of books. Broke In ew City Charter.

As; Mayor of Baltimore, Hayes Bet a new pace, at the City ilall. The first chief executive of the city to be ehbsen at a separate municipal, election in the spring, he made things hum from the day he was inaugurated in 1899 1 until he turned the reins over to his successor, the late Robert M.McLane, in 1903. It was left to him to put the. new City Charter into full effect, and he did it with a vengeance. It made a complete change in the form of government, revolutionizing praetically every Those who had grown up under the old, flexible system were lost, but it did not take Hayes long to pilot them out of the wilderness.

He knew the Charter almost by heart, having been vthe guiding spirit in its preparation. The first thing Hayes did was to fix his office hours from 10 o'clock in the until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, vile was always there promptly on the stroke of 10 and when the clock -struck ,2 he walked out and the doors were shut. No.ody could see him and nobody could turn him back, lie had to have his lunch, his afternoon nap and his NEW OWNER OF THE NElfrS Mr. Olivier Also Takes Over Mun-sey Building. HAS BEEN MANAGER 8 YEARS Announcement Of Sale Of His Baltimore Properties Made By Mr.

Munsey In Statement. After an ownership of a little over eight years, Frank A. Munsey has sold the Baltimore News to Stuart Olivier, who has been general manager of the paper ever since Mr. Munsey purchased it. The sale carries with it the ownership of the Munsey Building, which was erected by Mr.

Munsey about three years ago. The deal becomes effective on "Wednesday. Announcement of the sale ofhis properties was made by Mr. Munsey in a lengthy statement. Mr.

Olivier also gives his reason for purchasing the propf erties in a signed statement in the News. This statement says that Mr. Olivier Is the sole owner and that no outsider has any interest in the transaction. When asked further relative to the deal, Mr. OHviersaid that there wasn't much that he could add to this signed statement.

To Make jVo Change. "I think my statement covers the ground pretty thoroughly," said he. "I do want to say, however, that the sale will in no way affect the News or its staff, for it will be nothing either novel or new for my own staff to have me around. In the past eight years they have become more or less used to me." Final details concerning the change in control of the property were arranged in New York on Friday evening. The News Publishing Company acquired the Munsey Building, paying for it in bonds, and Mr.

Olivier then purchased the entire capital stock of the publishing company. The amount involved in the deal was withheld. The first thin? that Mr. Olivier did after becoming sole owner of the News was to announce that Charles M. Har-wood, who has been managing editor of the News for several years, was to become editor.

In his announcement Mr. Olivier paid a high tribute to Mr. Munsey. One reference he makes to him is as follows: "I have fought him at times and fought him hard on matters of policy. In all these years he has never sought to do more than gently reason me away from my purpose.

The iron hand of ownership has never, in a single instance, been applied. Nor has he ever placed profit ahead of principle. If, in the years to come, the men working under me will have that glow of loyal devotion, that touch of fondest remembrance which clings to my recollection of service under him, I will feel the battle will be well worth the wounds." Munsey Gives High Praise. Mr. Munsey, in turn, referred to Mr.

Olivier in the highest terms and predicted a brilliant future for him in the journalism of Maryland. "Mr. Olivier is a constructive man," said Mr. Munsey, "and constructive journalist. He stands rightly for all that is best in the community and in every respect is a man of high purpose and high ideals." The purchase of the Munsey Building by Mr.

Olivier does not mean that its name is to be changed. "It is fitting that the building should bear Mr. Munsey's name," said Mr. Olivier, "as long as it sands a monument to one who, though a stranger to this city, had more faith in it and its future growth than we who live here." NEVER MIND EARMUFFS! Weather Man Says Cold And Rain, Which Spoiled Half Holiday, Has Taken Departure. Another half holiday, and for many it marked the last of the season, was completely spoiled by the weather yesterday.

A steady downpour of rain, which began before city folks were out of bed, fell mercilessly throughout the morning and afternoon. Not only did it rain, but a cold autumnal wind swept through the streets, chilling to the bone all those who had not provided themselves with sufficient wraps. For the most part the streets were deserted during the afternoon. The temperature was 13 lower than the normal mean temperature for this time of the year. The highest point the mercury reached was 63 at 2 o'clock.

More than an inch of rain fell during the day. The weather man, however, is hopeful of what today will bring forth. "It will be clear and warmer tomorrow," he said. "We are going back to normal weather." Manager Doyle, of the Stafford Ho tel, afforded a cozy spot for his guestsJ yesterday afternoon, when he had an open fireplace filled with logs and lighted. Several of the guests pulled up their chairs to the grate in the afternoon, and toasted their shins while the ram played a tattoo on the windows.

FOUR IN POLICE SHAKE-UP Two Sergeants Chansred A New Turnkey Made. Four policemen were changed in their respective details by the Police Board at its meeting Friday afternoon, the order being announced by Marshal of Police Carter last night. According to the Marshal the transfers were made "for the good of the service." Sergeant James E. McCloskey, of the Southern district, goes to the Northwestern district, and Sergeant Mark R. Scholl, of the Northwestern, goes to the Southern district.

Patrolman George Vinyard, of the Western district, was transferred to the Southwestern Police Station and assigned to be turnkey. Turnkey Thomas Hawkins, of the Southwestern, was assigned to division, vice Patrolman Kins, retired. FINDS PARIS LIVELY Mrs. T. V.

Boynton Says Eeople Are More Cheerful Than Here. EVEN REFUGEES ARE HOPEFUL Says War Scenes At First Are Wear- Ing On prves While At Amiens Heard Roar Of Guns. "Paris is at this very moment far more gay and more cheerful than New York. As for the atmosphere of Baltimore after that of Paris, it is of a gloom that almost strikes one in the face." Mrs. T.

V. Boynton, of Washington, who is at 11 East Read street, just having returned from a stay of 14 months in Paris and the vicinity, where she wa3 engaged in active work for the relief of the French and Belgian refugees dispelled doubt yesterday as to the absence of the proverbial Parisian gayety. "Here in America your news is so censored that the cause of the Allies seems pretty well, hopeless," she continued. "But in France it is different. Everyone knows that the Allies will win.

There can be no doubt of it. Only the news from Russia is unfavorable just, now. But when the cold weather comes in Russia the situation will be changed. The Germans cannot stand the cold as the Russians can, and they will be able neither to strike nor to strike back. "Meanwhile, life is going on hopefully all over France.

The refugees are the most courageous and hopeful of all. They any kind of work that they can get and do it cheerfully and well. Just outside of Paris there are 500 Belgian children. Belgian women who have fled to Paris for refuge are carrying on their education and teaching them to make the famous Belgian lace, so that the children may be self-supporting. "Many of the children are nervous and ill from the hardships of their flight even yet.

One little crippled boy for whom I bought crutches had suffered intensely on account of the fact that a German soldier had burned his crutches because the boy could not find him wine to drink. "The stories of the ill-treatment of the Belgians are true, and many of them are worse than American newspapers have pictured them. In one of the hospitals where I visited a wounded German soldier, who was very ill, was tossing about on his bed in evident unhappi-ness and finally he poured out a confession to one of the nurses that he had been ordered' to shoot a child and had executed the order. He said that he had small children of his own and had refused to shoot the little Belgian, but that his commanding officer had accompanied the order with a mandate that refusal would mean that he would be shot himself. "At first the things that one sees and hears in relief work wear on one's nerves.

But the courage of the wounded and of the destitute is inspiring, the hopefulness of the French people is infectious and nerves are soon forgotten. Not long ago I went down to Amiens to visit. It is only 18 miles from the firing line and one hears the roar of the guns quite distinctly. The beautiful cathedral there is perfectly ridiculous to look at just now. It is padded all over the outside with sandbags 10 and 12 layers deep, to protect it from the occasional shells that reach the town.

"I should like to go back to France again. But I am worn out with my work. So I shall stay here for a while and get all the material help for the destitute that I can. For when you remember the meagre 25 cents a day which the French Government allows them you can easily imagine that help is more than welcome." IVTSHANE CO. IN FIELD Bell Foundry May Be Converted Into Munitions Plant For -Allies Soon.

The McShane Bell Foundry Company Is now carrying on negotiations which will result in its Being awarded large subcontracts for the manufacture of war munitions for the Allies. The fact that such negotiations were on leaked out yesterday, but when Wilson M. Cary. president of the company, was asked about them, he declared that he was not in a position to pay anything at this time. It is likely that the contracts will be placed within the next few days.

It is said that the company's plant at the Harford road and the Belt Line Railroad is well equipped for the manufacture of certain kinds of war supplies. In case the contracts are closed, it will probably mean that additional men will have to be employed, as all business now neing placed by the Allies calls for deliveries at the earliest possible date. The Spedden Shipbuilding Company will probably have something to announce regarding the war orders offered it some weeks ago, amounting to millions of dollars. It is the intention of the shipbuilding company to sublet a large portion of this business, but will itself be in a position to turn out large quantities of war supplies when the plant is enlarged. The company anticipated the placing of large war orders here weeks ago and let contracts for additional machinery which will be needed in constructing an addition to the present plant, WEST VIRGINIAN CALLED HERE Rev.

C. B. Mitchell Wanted By The Church Of The Prince Of Peace. The vestry of the Church of the Prince of Peace extended a call early in August to the Rev. Charles Baird Mitchell.

D. rector of Christ Church, Clarksburg, W. to take the rectorship of that church. It is understood that the Rev. Dr.

Mitchell was in the city last week looking over the field, but he has not yet (signified to the vestry his decision. COUNCIL SOON TO MEET In 23 Days Will Begin Tackling Ordinances. 'GREEN BAG" HOLDS SPOTLIGHT Probable Appointments Cause Speculation Dr. Heller May Be The Health Commissioner. Members pi the City Council are on the last lap of their vacation from legislative duties, for the summer recess will end at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, September 20.

That is just 23 days off. Several ordinances already are being prepared for introduction the first day, but the Mayor's "green bag" is the event to which the solons and others at the City Hall are looking forward with keen interest. It may be sent in the' first day of the fall and winter session, or it may be withheld until Monday, September 27. The City Charter directs that the new department heads and others appointed hv the. Mavor shall aualifv the first Monday in October.

It is thought the Mayor will act promptly, for he seems anxious to get one or two department heads out of the City Hall. He also is anxious to get a firmer hold on the Park Board. The term of George W. Hab-bersett, one of the two Republican members, will expire October 1. After naming his successor the Mayor will have two of the five members of the board.

Will Get Control Of Board. The term of James T. Stuart will expire next spring, and the naming of his successor will enable the Mayor to control the board. He then will be able to "put across" the plan of the Board of Estimates to move the four boat clubs from Ferry Bar to Fort McHenry and develop the new park according to his own ideas. The Mayor now has but one member of the board George Washington Williams, appointed recently as the successor to John S.

Gittings. The next question of interest at the City Hall is: "Who will be the next Commissioner of Health?" Many seem to think the Mayor will give the place to Dr. George Heller, a member of the Second Branch City Council from the First district and one of his most ardent supporters. The appointment of Dr. Heller would give the Mayor and the Democratic organization an opportunity of naming a new member of the Second Branch, for the Democrats in the branch would fill the vacancy by taking a man from the First district.

This-is said to be a point in Dr. Heller's favor. It is known that Dr. Heller would like to have the place, and his friends are saying that his experience in municipal affairs and in practicing medicine qualify him for the head of the Health Department. Dr.

J. Harry Ullrich, health warden of the Nineteenth ward, is mentioned for Assistant Commissioner of Health, to succeed Dr. C. Hampson Jones, who has been connected with the department since 1896 and who is regarded as an expert in public health matters. Major Ullrich is a close personal and political friend of Daniel J.

Loden, Collector of Water Rents and Licenses and chairman of the Democratic City Committee. He is at the head of Field Hospital No. 1, Maryland National Guard. Sunday Ball To Come Up. Sunday baseball will come up early during the fall session of the Council.

The ordinance is now before the Committee on Police and Jail, of which ohn D. Spencer, Fourth ward, is chairman. It is reported that friends of Sunday ball will make an effort to have the ordinance taken up soon after the Council reconvenes. John G. Scott, of the Eighth ward, is -said to be ready to bring the question up immediately after the fall sessions start.

Mayor Preston is opposed to Sunday baseball, and the talk at the City Hall is that he is prepared to prevent favorable action on the ordinance. The annual ordinance of estimates, or the tax levy budget for 1916, will be sent to the Council by the Board of Estimates soon after the fall election. TO PREACH INAUGURAL SERMON Dr. Lazeron Will Be Formally Installed At Madison Ave. Temple.

The Rev. Dr. Morris A. Lazaron, who succeeded the late Rev. Dr.

Adolph Guttmacher as rabbi of Madison Avenue Temple, will deliver his inaugural sermon at the 8, o'clock service at the temple Friday evening. Although he has been in charge since early in August, his formal inaugural has not yet been performed. The Rev. Drs. Charles A.

Ruben-stein and William Rosenau, rabbis of Botkm Street Temple and Eutaw Place Temple, respectively, will assist in the services. There will be a special musical program, but no other feature to mark the service as different from the regular Fridav night worship. Dr. Lazaron will preach on "The Function of Religious Institutions" and a general invitation has been extended to the public to attend the service. TEMPERATURE 60; SUN STRUCK John Friel, However, Has lO-Year-Old Attack To Thank.

The effects of a sunstroke suffered 10 years ago sent into convulsions last night John Friel, 50 years old, an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Hampton, Va. Friel was found by a Southwestern district patrolman lying on the pavement in front of 2027 Eagle street. He was taken to Franklin Square Hospital, where physicians gave a diagnosis "of post-sunstroke convulsions. At intervals of two or three months ever since Friel was sunstruck in 1905 the same sort of convulsions that attacked him at that time come upon him. He came here yesterday from Hampton, by boat, he told the police, but he remembers nothing after the boat landed.

The hospital authorities declare he probably will be in condition to go back home today. IN THE FICTION SECTION TODAY PART 5 Page 1 "The Blue Buckle," the new serial, by William Hamilton Osborne.
