LA 55S erf pSS NEW BUILDING FOR ST. ELIZABETH'S HOME FOR Northern Transportation Co. Suggests Manistee For Wooden Boats. The Northern Transportation Gom-nany, of this city, telegraphed yesterday to Chcirma William Penman, of the Shipping Board, offering its big shipyard at Manistee, on Lake Michigan, to the board for the building of some of the wooden steamers to carry supplies into the Allies' ports and offset the work of the submarines. The Northern Company is among the first to fall in line with the Government plans.

It purchased the shipyard about two weeks ago to turn out big barges for its carrying trade, but it has let this dop to come to the aid of the Government. More than 20 of the big wooden fleet can be turned out at once at the Mams tee yard. It has a frontage of 2,200 fet or- deep water and a depth of 600 feet. Twenty -five ships of the 3.000-ton fleet could readily be built at one time. "The Government plan of standard izing the vessels, said John T.

Dono-bue, the president of the Northern Transportation Company, "will make it possible to turn out the ships inside of six months. Ihe men behind the plan say four months, but six months is conservative. That means the Manistee yard can account for 50 ships the first year. The labor problem will be com-partively simple. Hundreds of green hands can be thrown in with a small numbei of experienced ship's carpenters ana Duua tne snips, whereas the con struction of steel vessels requires a very large proportion of skilled workers." 90 MORE BAKERS STRIKE S2 Jewish Shops Are Affected By Xew Walkout.

A delegation of Baltimore suffragists called at the White House yesterday, says a dispatch from The Sun Bureau at Washington, to urge President Wilson to telegraph Governor Harrington an appeal for the inclusion of woman suffrage in the list of subjects which he lay before the extra session of the Maryland Legislature. President Wilson sent such a telegram to Governor Rye of Tennessee in response to the request of Tennessee suffragists. In the delegation were Mrs. Robert Hunt Walker, Miss Helen Haggerty, Miss M. B.

Dixon, Mrs. Charles Joseph Ugle and Miss Margaret Holmes Sisson. They did not see the President, but submitted their request to Assistant Secre URGES THE $1,500,000 FUND Declare Soldier' FamiHe Must lie Kept From Want To Insure Success. TTowoll Griswold, I who, as president of the Alliance of Charitable ft ml Social Agencies and the Board of Trade, was one of the potent factors in organizing the Baltimore fund to raise nhout $1,500,000 to relieve the poverty atui suffe ring certain to follow the war, yesterday made an address at the long-lahle luncheon of the City Club on "Preparations for the War Defense of Baltimore." His discussed the Baltimore fund as an agency for social and economic preparation. Mr.

Griswold's basic proposition was that the war in Europe today really was being fought out in the cities in the business places and homes and not in the trenches, where the soldiers are deadlocked in dealing death to one another, and that the real pull upon America, now that it has entered the war, will be felt where the, pull is being ilt in Europe in the cities. In explanation of that proposition, he gave a scholarly and graphic review nd of war conditions and economic conditions in both Europe and America, and proceeded to show that this country would feel increasingly the pressure of war demands in an economic way every day from now until the close of the war, the pressure becoming heavier and heavier as the country gets deeper and deeper into the conflict. I'liin I Duty, He. Such being the certain development, be contended that it was obvious that one imperative duty was to protect the families the men at the front from want because of the moral effect upon thcuneu, who naturally will be better or worse fighting agents if they are at ease or are worried about the condition of' their dependents; and because of the increased national efficiency which will result if there are no bread-lines or hungry women and children in the cities. This was so plain to everyone, lie said, that it was practically certain that the Government ultimately would take upon itself the burden of providing for the dependents of soldiers and sailors as a public duty.

But as considerable time must elapse before the machinery to raise the money and expend it can be perfected, he argued that a duty devolves upon private citizens to assume the burden of caring for the dependents until the Government shall have acted to serve as a sort of bridge. Mr. Griswold explained then the creation of the Baltimore Fund, the merging with the appeals which ordinarily would lie made by the lied Cross and the alliance, and the plan under which a board of trustees, headed by Dr. Goodnow, would disburse the funds according to need, and regardless of race or creed. It is estimated that about $1,1500,000 must be had to meet the needs during the three-year period for which war preparations are being made.

The plan ol the Baltimore Fund, Mr. Griswold said, had met with such approval that 14 cities had telegraphed or telephoned here for information as to details. BRADY FUNERAL TOMORROW Dr. Hush II. Young Will Attend As An Honorary Pallbearer.

James Buchanan Brady's funeral will be held in New York tomorrow morning at 9.30 o'clock nt his home, 7 West Eighty-sixth street. Doctor and Mrs. Hugh Hampton Young will attend it. They will leave for New York today. Dr.

Young is to be one of the honorary pallbearers. He had brought Mr. Brady successfully through long and serious illness, and Mr. Brady founded the Urological Institute at. Johns Hopkins as a result.

Daniel M. Brady, "Diamond Jim's" brother, has charge of the funeral arrangements. The ceremonies will probably attract friends of the late millionaire from every quarter of New York, for "Diamond Jim" was everybody's friend. His will is a subject of speculation in New York and Baltimore. It probably makes a large bequest to the Brady Institute at Hopkins the biggest monument to "Diamond Jim's" bigness of heart and love for humanity.

A verdict for $5,000 vras rendered by a jury in the Circuit Court here late last night in favor of the plaintiff in the case of William Bowers against Mrs. Xannie E. Helfensteln, hoth of Frederick, which was removed from Frederick county to this county for trial. Young Bowers, who is a son of Harry W. Bowers, until a short while ago clerk of the Circuit Court for Frederick county, sued Mrs.

Helfenstein for damages for alienating the affections of wife, formerly Ruth E. Helfenstein, daughter of the defendant. It was contended that because of the opposition of the defendant to the marriage of her daughter and the plaintiff, the couple were forced to elope to Hagerstown; that the defendant, upon learning of the marriage, denounced her daughter and manifested great displeasure with the marriage, and from that time on had done everything within her power to poison the mind of her daughter against the plaintiff. It was further alleged that Mrs. Helfenstein persuaded her daughter that the plaintiff had married her only for her fortune of about $30,000, which she inherited from her grandfather.

A few weeks after the marriage, which took pace about nine months ago, the plaintiff's wife, according to the allegations, deserted the plaintiff and has ever since resisted the entreaties of the plaintiff that she return to him. Mrs. Helfenstein denied that she had attempted to influence her. daughter against her husband. The daughter corroborated her mother, declared that she voluntarily left her husband because she became convinced that he had married her for her money and that as a result she realized that she had undergone a change of feeling toward him and no longer cared for him.

The trial began Thursday morning and was given to the jury about 10 o'clock last night, it being an hour later when an agreement was reached. The plaintiff was represented by Leo Weinberg and Reno S. Harp, of Frederick, and Robert B. Peter, of Rockville, and the defendant by Frank L. Stoner, of ND1D Where each location hasa different viewand each house dis- -B tinctive attraction of style and surrounding.
