Gorgat, Health Service Official Is Taken Over Ground Commends Results. Expressing the hope yesterday afternoon that the campaign against mos-qpitoes would be continued next year, Surgeon-General Rupert Blue, of the United States Public Health Service, said he also would like to see Baltimore start a crusade for the extermination of "household vermin," particularly rats and flies. General Blue came to the city yesterday morning from Washington in 'company with Gen. William C. Gorgas, surgeon-general of the army, and made an inspection of the work done by the mosquito crusaders under Commissioner of Street Cleaning Larkins and William D.

Wrightson, of the United States Public Health Service. Dr. Henry R. Carter, of the Marine Hospital in Remington avenue, and Engineer Wrightson accompanied General Blue and General Gorgas on their tour of the city. General Blue said the fact that the malarial mosquito has been found in Baltimore was sufficient reason for con-tiuuing the mosquito campaign next year.

He called at the City Hall for the purpose of making a general recommendation to Mayor Preston, but the Executive had gone the funeral of Judge A. B. Cunningham, who was a member of the Appeal Tax Court. Should Get Rid Of Rats And Flies. It was General Blue's first inspection of the mosquito work.

He said ne found that the campaign had been carried but along proper lines and should have been effective. "But you also need a campaign in Baltimore against household vermin, particularly rats and flies. It is important, from a standpoint of public health, that you get rid of both rats and flies." General Blue explained that one of the most effective ways of driving out rats was to destroy their feeding places, and pointed out that covered garbage cans and the regulation of stables and chicken yards were among the most effective ways of doing it. While inspecting the sections in which the mosquito forces had been working, General Blue made some general observations of conditions that are favorable to rats. While in Baltimore General Gorgas and General Blue paid considerable attention to some mosquitoes Dr.

Carter and Engineer Wrightson are breeding for the purpose of finding out just what kind of insects thrive in Baltimore. None of the experts thought that there wras any possibility of the yellow fever mosquito being, here. No Yellow Fever Mosquitoes Here. Dr. Carter said that some experiments he had conducted convinced him that "Baltimore is north of the yellow fever district," so far as mosquitoes were concerned.

He stated that he found just two yellow fever mosquitoes during his investigation, and that both were taken from a fruit steamer. "They were imported," General Blue remarked. The local campaign against mosqui-, toes will come to a close October 15. It has cost the city less than $25,000, it was stated yesterday afternoon at the City Hall. It is expected that Sanitary Engineer Wrightson's report covering his work in Baltimore during the summer and fall will contain some interesting and valuable suggestions for the consideration of the Board of Estimates when it makes up the tax levy budget for 1916.

PHONE BRIEFS FILED Arguments In Rate Case May Be Heard In 10 Days. CURTIS BAY RAILROAD LOSES Public Service Commission Decides Proposed Line ot Required By lnK1lA 1 Briefs were filed in the office of the Public Service Commission yesterday afternoon by both the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company and the Telephone Subscribers' Protective Association, through H. Findlay Fiench and Ogle Marbury, in the. telephone rate Both documents were long and intricate, and the commissioners did not take, them upbut will begin going over them today. "The brief of Osborne I.

Yellqtt, representing the commission, will be filed is expected. With all these documents in commission will et to work 'n an endeavor to digest them. In about 10 days oral arguments from both sides will be heard. The commission has been trying to fix a valuation of the telephone company's property in, Maryland and the cyse originated 1913. The Protective Association claims? that the rates are too high.

The telephone company holds that it is ontitJtd to $500,000 more earnings than the present racs net it, and sets forth the total valuation on its propery as $15,169,248. The total gross revenue for the last year is put down as the annual expenses as leaving a net income of $681,038. This1 net return is claimed to be less liiau per cent, on the investment. An increased return of $532,502 is thought justifiable. In a decision handed down by the commission and prepared by Commissioner Henry, the application of the Chesapeake and Curtis Bay Railroad for.

permission to exercise a franchise is rejected. It was held in the opinion that public necessity does not require and the public convenience would not be advanced by the granting of the prayer of the petition, which was filed June last. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was the principal opponent. to the granting of the prayer. The, proposed company planned to operate a line from a pier on the property of the United State Asphalt Refining.

Company, on the north, side of Curtis "Bay, to the Baltimore and Ohio tracks at East Brooklyn. It was proposed to issue $50,000 par value capital stock. The. line which the Chesapeake and Curtis Bay Railroad Company proposed to operate was constructed some time ago by the United States Asphalt Refining Company as a plant facility and is being so operated for the benefit of. the owner and its allied industries.

It serves no other person or corporation and is entirely on the property of the refining company. In his opinion Commissioner Henry says that it costs about $18,000 a year to maintain and onerate the line. Then he goes on to say that the underlying purpose behind the. application that was dismissed seemed to be to secure such recognition at the hands of the commission as would enable, the owners of the road to obtain such a division of rates from other roads as would produce income sufficient to pay the expenses of operating the Chesapeake and Curtis Bay' line. Leonard B.

He was the guest last night at a reception planned as a surprise for him bv several of his friends. 'mm 6,662 3,967 ALICE EVERSMAN APPLAUDED Graxianl, As Turiddu, In Admirable Voice, Throws Himself Into Role With Abandon.

The San Carlo Grand Opera Company presented last night at the New Academy of Music Maseagni's Sicilian tragic opera, "Cavalleria Rusticanna," and "I' Pagliacci," the strolling players' tragedy by the Italian composer, Ruggiero Leoncavallo. The exquisitely" beautiful orchestral introduction of the first opera was so inspirationally played last night that the true dignity and dramatic intensity of- the simple rustic tragedy was felt even before the curtain rose. Alice Eversman sang the role of Santuzza, and the strength, power and purity of her voice won enthusiastic appreciation. The greatest charm of her singing was the ease with which it was accomplished. With the greatest strain upon her vocal powers, the singer apparently was as unwearied as wheu she began the aria.

She also acted with great dramatic force the part of a despairing, sullen woman to whom all that is left of love is an opportunity for revenge of wrongs. Alfredo Graziani equally distinguished himself in the role of Turiddu. He was in admirable voice and threw himself into the character with an abandon that removed the incident of his passion and foolishness, his quarrels and his remorse from the seeming of an art to the reality of life. His tenor song before the curtain rose, Lola, Lovely as the Spring's Bright Bloom," was beautifully sung. The' choruses of the opera were sung with reverential impressiveness and after the lovely and familiar intermezzo that marks an interlude of time in the opera, Chevalier Fulgenzio Guerrieri, director of the orchestra, was called before the curtain to share the applause with which the leading singers were greeted.

The tiny one-act opera was truly last night the lyric, dramatic and emotional gem that its rare theme and composition warrant. "I Pagliacci, the Clown," followed with its strolling players of Calabria, led by Torno, the clown, entering a quiet village. Millo Pieco anneared as Tonio. and his strong personality and admirable: voice were well displaved in his prologue, "A Word, Allow Me." Emanuel Salazar sang with great feel-; ing in his character of Como, and the I role of Xedda, his wife, was sung by" Sophie Charlebois with grace and ability. FRISCO HOTEL MAN DIES HERE Xelson M.

Kellar Was 111 3 Months At Sister's Home. Nelson M. Kellar, 53 years old, Western hotel man and financier, died suddenly early yesterday morning at the home of his sister. Miss Mary L. Kellar, 1822 Linden avenue.

Death was due to apoplexy. He was a son of the late Otho and Eliza J. Kellar, of Baltimore. For several years he was manager of a New York hotel, after which.be went to San Francisco to become manager of the Fairmont Hotel. He was secretary and treasurer of the Western Finance Company, of San Francisco, when ill health caused his retirement last June.

He came to Baltimore at once and was in his sister's care until his death. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL TO OPEN A'lght Classes For Both Sexes Will Begin Monday. The night school classes in vocational work at school No. 86, Mulberry and Payson streets, will open on Monday, October 4, at 7.30 P. M.

Wood. LEARNS FATE FROM MAYOR Dr. Blake Out Of City, But Friends Confirm His Selection Of 3Iary-land General Men. More of Mayor Preston's plans for reorganizing the Health Department came out yesterday afternoon, with the semiofficial announcement that M. Harry Laib would bet dropped as the secretary of the department, and probably would be succeeded by Dr.

Austin H. Wood, of the Maryland General Hospital staff. Dr. John D. Blake, who is to become the Commissioner of Health next Monday morning, was out of the city yesterday, but persons close to him said that the appointment of Dr.

Wood would be a personal one and entirely satisfactory to the Mayor. Dr. Blake has been connected with the Maryland General Hospital for a number of years, and has known Dr. Wood since he began the study of medicine. He is a recent graduate of the University of Maryland.

Mr. Laib called on the Mayor yesterday and was told that his place would be given to another. His visit was for the purpose of finding out just how he stood with the administration in the matter of reappointment. Laib is said to have disabused the Mayor's mind of reports that he (Laib) was responsible for some of the things at the department that were displeasing to his Honor. He said that whether he was retained or dropped he wanted to be "put straight" in the Mayor's estimation.

Laib has been at the department for 14 or 15 years. He has long been regarded as "a Kelly man." being secretary of the Eighteenth Ward Democratic Association, Kelly's club. First Talked Of As Warden. Dr. Wood was first talked of for a place as health warden, but it developed that he lived in the Nineteenth ward, from which Dr.

J. Harry Ullrich is to be reappointed. It was then suggested that he be made a medical inspector of schools, and later came the report that he was to be made secretary to the department. The Health Department has not had a medical man in the secretaryship since the Malster administration, when the position was held by the late Dr. A.

K. Hadell. When Dr. James Bosley succeeded Dr. C.

Hampson Jones as the Commissioner of Health, he named J. W. M. Kiger, a newspaper man, as the secretary to the department. Laib was appointed assistant secretary, and promoted after Kiger resigned during the Mahool administration and went West.

It is said to be the Mayor's plan to surround Dr. Blake with an entirely new staff, with Dr. William Travis Howard, as the Assistant Commissioner and directing head of the staff. The changes are to take place on Monday, or as soon thereafter as Dr. Blake and Dr.

Howard are able to get the hang of the office. Reports Affect "Second Floor." One report at the City Hall yesterday was that the Mayor had made up his mind to reorganize the "second floor" of the department. This is where the Commissioner and the Assistant Commissioner have their quarters. 'A dozen or more clerks are employed on the second floor. The tuberculosis nurses are also on that floor, but those close to the Mayor say they do not believe he will interfere with any of the nurses.

While Dr. Blake is reported by his friends as having said that there will not be many changes in the department, many seemed to feel yesterday that several of the Dreseht health wardens would "walk the plank" before January 1. It is being said that the Mayor will make a pjace for Dr. Henry C. Houck, 1929 West North avenue, who was refused an appointment two years ago by Dr.

Nathan R. Gorter after the Mayor had nominated him as one of the medical inspectors of schools. The refusal of Dr. Gorter to appoint Dr. Houck was one of the incidents that led the Mayor to ask Dr.

Gorter for his resignation as Commissioner of Health. One of the many rumors now going the rounds is that the Mayor will insist upon the removal of all men and women who were placed in the department by Dr. Gorter after he and the Mayor fell out and parted company. -Mayor's Rumored Plans. The Mayor is said to have made up his mind to have a Health Department to his own liking, and that he is ready to assume full responsibility for what happens after the contemplated changes take place.

From a source close to the Mayor came the statement yesterday that "the Mayor knows the department like a book," and that he has not been satisfied with the manner in which it has been run by Dr. Gorter and Dr. C. Hampson Jones, who have had a free rein for two years or more, or since the break between the Mayor and Dr. Gorter.

In all that time, it was pointed out yesterday, the Mayor has kept his hands off the department. He has not spoken to Dr. Gorter since the last time he requested his resignation and has had but little official intercourse with Dr. Jones. There is one important vacancy in the department the filling of which Dr.

Gorter has left to his successor, and that is the head of the chemical laboratory, from which Dr. Frederick C. Blanck resigned late in the summer to accept a place in the Pure Food Bureau, Washington. DENTAL COLLEGE OPENS Exercises Are Held In Lecture Hall Of Howard Street Institution. The seventy-sixth annual opening' exercises of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery were held last night in the lecture hall of the college.

North Howard street. Judge Walter I. Dawkins made the address of welcome to the students. A feature of the ceremonies, which were presided over by the dean, Dr. W.

G. Foster, was the presentation of an oil painting of the late deRn. Wr. M. Whill-din Foster.

Prof. William Simon, of the faculty, made the presentation address and it was accepted by Prof. B. Holly Smith. The portrait will be hung in the college reading room.

Dr. Foster died in June, 1914, after being head of the college 18 years. The present dean is his son. A'erdicts Given For Dr. A.

E. Muse-Under the instructions of Judge Dawkins, verdicts in favor of Dr. Alex E. Muse, 1000 West Cross street, were handed down in the Court of Common Pleas yesterday in suits for $3,000 and $1,000 damages brought by Howard A. Bounds, years old, and his father, John H.

Bounds, for injuries alleged to have been sustained by the' boy from being struck by Dr. Muse's automobile. The accident occurred on September 16. 1914, on Patterson avenue, near Strieker street. The cases were taken from the jury, as the evidence showed that the accident occurred while the colored chauffeur was driving the machine for his own amusement.

Charles F. ITnrley was Dr. luse's attorney. Americans Greatest Cigarette Makers ef the Highest CradeTmhsh 1 and Egyptian Qgmttes tn (he WIFE OF SLAIN MAN INVOLVED Defense Claims Shot AVas-rFlred By Aecnied In Defense Of His Mother. Frederick, Oct.

J. -With the State claiming that Charles V. Harp was deliberately murdered, at his home between Wolfsville and Elferton on the night of May 17 last by his stepson, Earl Harp, and his wife; and with the defense claiming that Earl Harp shot his father in self-defense, the trial of Earl Harp was begun in court today before Chief Judge Hammond Urner and Associate Judges Edward Peter and Glenn H. Worthington. The regular jury panel was exhausted and a number of talesmen were summoned before the jury box was filled.

The jury is composed of the following: William Sehnaufr'er (foreman). Itichard Hargptt. James T. Wa-sche, Charles W. llar.es.

William II. Thomas. Charles Ilouek, John B. Ford, George E. Yaste, George T.

iioderuek. John L. Dutrow, Milton E. Akers and Kirov Koeikey State's Attorney Samuel A. Lewis, in his opening statement, declared that the.

JState expected to prove that Earl Harp and his mother had murdered Charles V. Harp. The State's Attorney said the Harps never got along well and ne trouble merged into another until the elder Harp was found dead on the floor of his home witli a bullet hole in his head. Three Shots "Were Fired. Harp was lying on his right side with the pistol in his hand.

There was one empty shell in tlm revolver, but it showed that three shells had been fired. There were blood spots on the wall and also bloody finger maris. Mr. Lewis told of the first statement made by the pris-xmers, that Harp had committed suicide; that they heard a revolver shot about midnight and had concluded that the elder Harp was shooting at chicken thieves. The accused, said Mr.

Lewis, at first denied any knowledge of the shooting and did everything in their power to cover up the crime. He said young Harp admitted that he came to Frederick several days before and purchased a revolver and a number of cartridges. After the funeral of the murdered man the State's Attorney declored Earl Harp was taken from the jail to his home and there confessed to killing his step-father, declaring that he had done so in self-defense, as the elder Harp had threatened to kill him after a quarrel between them. Young Harp declared that his mother was at a neighbor's home during the shooting. Accused Claims Self-Defense.

Mrs. Harp, according to the State's Attorney, told a different story, declaring that she returned from the neighbor's while her husband and son were quarreling and attempted to separate them; that the elder Harp turned upon her and threw her down; that her son attempted to protect lier, and. finding his strength unequal to that of his stepfather and thinking that the latter was choking his mother, secured the revolver and. fired. Leo Weinberg, in his opening statement for the defense, said that Mrs.

Harp had married Charles V. Harp about 13 or 14 years ago, before the birth of Earl Harp. Charles V. Harp, he declared, was a man unable to control his temper and frequent quarrels between the father, mother and son resulted. Because the road he had to travel in returning from seeing a girl was dark and lonely Earl Harp purchased the revolver, according to Mr.

Weinberg. He declared the mother's story of the shooting was correct. THREE FAIL TO DODGE AUTOS Yonnijj Woman Thrown From Boggy And Two JVeroes JInrt.

An impressive period occurred at the burial services of Col. Albert Bowie Cunningham yesterday, when as the Rev. Dr. William M. Dame, of Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church, finished the first portion of the burial ritual William J.

Guard, a lormer Baltimore newspaper man and close friend of Colonel Cunningham, stepped for-' ward and made a feeling address. He spoke of the great influence for good the dead journalist exercised, particularly on young men, and how he firoused their enthusiasm and drew them close to him with the ties of genuine affection. This influence, said Mr. Guard, served to make them useful, when perhaps in other circumstances their lives might have been worthless. He told of the Colonel's great ability and his insistence on accuracy and thoroughness, a spirit that has passed to the newer generation of newspaper writers.

The body was removed about S.30 o'clock from the Jenkins chapel, at Mc-culloh and Orehard streets, to Memorial. Church, where Dr. Dame conducted the services. Sheriff Thomas F. McXulty sang Kindly Light." An extensive list of representative Baltimoreans.

2,261 BREAK YOURSELF OF THE LAXATIVE HABIT LAXATIVES and cathartics cause more constipation than they cure. Nujol is the modern treatment for constipation. It conforms in all essentials to the requirements of the mineral oil treatment as prescribed by its. discoverer, Sir William Arbuthnot Lane. Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system.

It acts merely as a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal contents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity.

P. Hall Files Demurrer In Suit To Overthrow Election. The petition for a writ of mandamus for the installation of the regular nominees for directors of the Maryland Society to Protect Children from Cruelty and Immorality, who were defeated by a coup of Attorney William Purnell Hall at the meeting of the society on April 12 last, came up before Judge Dawkina yesterday in the Court of Common Pleas on a demurrer to the petition. David H. Moberly, J.

Frederick and John G. Taylor, whose names were on the regular ticket for directors, but were left off the opposition ticket sprung by Mr. Hall, were the petitioners. It was alleged that Mr. Hall, aided by Isaac S.

Field, president of the society, secured the election of the opposition ticket by illegally and improperly voting proxies. Mr. Hall demurred to the petition filed through Attorney Howard Bryant contending that the law governing the society referred to in the petition was not stated with sufficient exactness, that only one person should have been joined in the suit and that the petition did not ask that all the ballots cast at the election be brought into court. Upon the petitioners' own showing, Mr. Hall contended, the defendants were elected.

When the petition has been amended in conformity with the rulings of the Judge, the case will be taken before the court again.
