Six weeks ago De Shields was in court because of the social and adventurous proclivities of his poultry.

He told the court he would get rid of the birds. In six weeks the burden of his neighbors was lightened by only six chickens.

BAZARS INCLUDED IN SCOPE OF LAW Grand Jurors' Association Sponsors Bill Sent To Council. At the request of the Grand Jurors' Association an ordinance designed to prohibit gambling at street carnivals, bazars and others forma of amusement on private and public property was in troduced in the City Council last night by William G. Towers, Fourth district. It places them under the control of the Police Commissioner and the Board of Estimates. Mr.

Towers said the ordinance has the approval of Charles D. Gaither, Police Commissioner. It is a strict and city-wide measure and provides that permits for carnivals, bazars and other forms of amusement shall be approved by the Police Commissioner or the Board of Estimates before being issued by the Collector of Water Rents and Licenses The Board of Estimates is to act in cases where the carnivals or other exhibitions are held in the streets. II i slit Of Revocation Given. The ordinance gives the Police Commissioner the right to revoke any license issued by him.

The same right is given the Mayor. Features of an existing ordinance as to fines and other regulations are continued in force by the new measure. Mr. Towers said it was felt that an effective check must be had on these exhibitions, which have become objectionable because of gambling features. The existing ordinance, he said, does not meet the situation.

Ordinance Sent To Committee. Howard Bryant, President of the Council, sent the ordinance to the Committee on Police and Jail for investigation and a report. At the request of Ambrose J. Kennedy, Second district, an ordinance prohibiting street carnivals and bazars near churches was taken from the Committee on Highways, Traffic and Bridges and sent to the Committee on Police "and Jail.

Safe Taken From Home As Police Rush To Scene Jewelry And "Valuable Papers In Strong Box Loaded On Track By Burglars. While police were coming in answer to an anonymous call a 200-pound safe was removed at 10 o'clock last night from the home of Mrs. Helen Davis, 1907 West Saratoga street.

The safe was taken out the front door and carried away in a small truck. Jewelry valued at $300 and valuable papers were in the safe, Mrs. Davis said. She was at a moving-picture show during the and arrived home at about the time police came. Detectives Robert Bradley and Joseph Carroll, working on the case, said last night they had no clues.

Substitution of 2,000,000 cement bricks for clay bricks in the construction of the Colored High School, Carey and Baker streets, was authorized yesterday by the Public Improvement Commission. It was said that the change would result in a saving to the city of $1,200. The action of the commission followed a request from the Board of Awards earlier in the day that the Mayor's Committee on Economy and Efficiency review the, recommendations of a special committee that recently investigated substitutions at the Clifton Park High School. These recommendations, based largely on the substitution of cement bricks for clay bricks at the Clifton Park' school, were that archi tects designing school buildings have control over building operations and that supervision of construction of schools and other municipal buildings be transferred from the Improvement Commission's Bureau of Construction to the Inspector of Buildings. Mayor Wltkholds Vote, Mayor Jackson refrained from voting on the proposition to substitute cement bricks for clay bricks 'at the Colored High School.

He said after the meeting of the commission that he wished to remain neutral in the controversy over the substitution of one material for another in school construc tion. The Mayor said he was a member and president of the Board of Awards, to which the report in the Clifton Park case was submitted. He also is a member of the Improvement Commission, he pointed out, and did not think it would be proper for him to vote on the Colored High School substitution. The investigation of the Clifton Park school followed charges of the substitu tion of -cement bricks for clay bricks and other substitutions, made before the Board of Awards by Mrs. William Bauernschmidt, secretary of the Public School Association.

Harlan Offers Resolution. Henry D. Harlan, former chief judge of the Bench of Baltimore, brought up the question of using cement bricks for clay bricks at the Colored High School as the commission was about to adjourn. After a brief discussion he offered a resolution approving the substitution. The resolution was seconded by J.

Barry Mahool, former Mayor. Except for the action of Mr. Jackson in asking to be excused the vote was unanimous. Henry G. Perring, supervising engineer in charge of the Construction Bureau, told the commission cement bricks could be used in the interior "of the walls with entire safety.

He said the substitution had first been suggested by J. Henry Miller, the contractor. Mr. Perring said the school architects, Owens and Sisco, were non-committal on the question and that cement bricks had been disapproved by Herman F. Doeleman, their engineer.

Mr. Doele-man, together with Joseph Evans Sperry, architect, served as special investigators for R. Walter Graham, City Comptroller, and Frederick A. Dolfield, City Register, who the Clifton Park school investigation for the Board of Awards. Perring Cites Approval.

Authorities high in the engineering field recently have set their seal of approval on cement bricks, Mr. Perring rWlnred. He said the commission has received letters favoring their use from! the United States Bureau of standards, the testing bureau of the engineers' school of Columbia University, at New York, and the laboratory of the engineering department of Johns Hopkins University.

Governor Ritchie brought his campaign to Baltimore last night and Baltimore received him with a demonstration not often in evidence in these restrained days. It was the Tenth ward, stronghold of Democracy, that turned back the calendar and staged a political display reminiscent of the days when campaigns were enlivened by torchlight processions and the fnithful marched with fnthnsinstlc troad. John J. Mahon, leader of the city Democratic organization, who carries the burden of more than 70 years, turned back the hands of time also. "Make me a youth again, just for tonight," he paraphrased, and his wish was granted.

teadii Tenth Ward Parade. It was Mahon who led the parade of the Tenth ward stalwarts, augmented by detachments from the Seventh and Kighth wards, from the Hendricks Club, Tiiddle nnd Valley streets, to the Drivers nnd Ikttlers Hall on Harford avenue. Through the Tenth ward the procession pursued Its devious way, bo that nil the ward might see, and many of those who came to see remained to march. At its maximum the column seemed two blocks long. Many of the marchers carried canes which they flourished with a glad abandon.

There were appropriate transparencies with exhortations to vote for Iiitchie and the other Demo-i ratic candidates. There was a fife and lrum corps. It was all reminiscent of it more ebullient era. The only hint of the new era was a detachment of icminlne marchers. Mr.

Mahon led the procession until Its objective was attained. His feet grew a bit sore and his legs a bit weary, but he stuck it out. Once at the Drivers nnd Bottlers' Hall, however, he called for a taxicab and sped downtown to the Itennert. Governor Late Arriving. Governor Ritchie, having attended a meeting at Dundalk, Baltimore county, was late in arriving at the Tenth ward reunion.

Pending his advent William S. (Jordy, candidate for reelection its State Comptroller; Thomas II. Robinson, candidate for Attorney-General; A. Young, candidate for Clerk of the Court of Herbert R. O'Conor, candidate for State's Attorney Baltimore city, and John E.

Potee, candidate for Sheriff, were speakers jwho kept the meeting in play. The hall was packed. When the Governor drove up an overflow meeting was in progress in the street. The audience deserted the ppeaker to greet the Governor and the orator found himself left, in the midst of a gesture, without an udience. The Governor got more applause to the sentence at the Tenth ward meeting than he has received so far during his 'campaigu.

Everything he said seemed to suit his audience and while he spoke I briefly he touched on many topics. State' Htghta Ilrimam Applause. I Nothing, however, brought forth a I heartier response than his short dissertation on States' rights. "It Is a fine thing about our country," he proclaimed, "that we have both a Htate government nnd a national Gov-'ernment. But It is a fine thing only so long as neither encroaches upon the sphere of the other.

"It is because I believe that Mary-landers are intelligent and law-abiding I enough to manage their own affairs that I urged States' rights before a conference of President 1 larding and 30 Governors and President Coolidge and So This advocacy of local self-govern-jnent pleased the Tenth ward audience 'greatly and the applause was loud. Making a plea for the reelection of State Senator George Arnold Frick, the Governor said "He will do what he can to bring back the thing you all want," and the allusion was imme-'diatcly recognized and enthusiastically I received. I Flatter Mayor JuoVson. A flattering reference by phe Governor to Mayor Jackson's, administration was another of the things to get a big hand. It was a gala night for Herbert R.

i O'Conor as well as Governor Ritchie. The Tenth ward reclaimed O'Conor as its own and gave him a heart-warming greeting. After the Tenth ward meeting Governor Ritchie went tp the Fifteenth ward, where he addressed a meeting at the Northwest Democratic Club, Duke-land street and Clifton avenue. At this meeting Mayor Jackson presided and there were speeches by various candidates, city and state. Advocate Water Loan.

At the city meetings, the Governor advocated the $1,000,000 police building loan and the $10,000,000 water loan which will appear on the ballot for the junction or rejection of the city voters. At the Dundalk and Fifteenth ward meetings, the Governor talked about the work of the State Government. Such departments as the schools, roads, employment, purchasing and welfare are being run by their respective heads solely in the interest of the public, he declared. Not a single instance of politics in the administration of these departments is to be found, he asserted. Having concluded his speaking program.

Governor Ritchie went to a dance fiven by the Iola Club in the Lithuanian Hall, Hollins and Parkin streets. Additional Political News will be found on Page 6. In memory of her late husband, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Mrs. Suzanne Bancroft Carroll, daughter of Bancroft the historian, has presented two priceless works of art to the Maryland Institute. Presentation was made in a letter received yesterday by Mayor Jackson.

The two pieces a tapestry canopy and armchair of the Louis XV period will be forwarded to Baltimore through Sir Joseph Duveen, a member of the famous firm of London art connoisseurs. They will be memorials to Mr. Carroll, a direct descendant of the famous signer of the Declaration of Independence. In her letter to Mayor Jackson Mrs. Carroll intimated she will donate more furniture of ancient origin to Baltimore's art treasures in the near future.

Mrs. Carroll wrote she had instructed Sir Joseph Duveen to forward the canopy and! COUNCIL HELP ASKED IN FIGHT OVER PIER Church Seeks To Build On Part Of Wharf Steamboat Company Gave Up. RIPARIAN RIGHTS CLAIMED Dispute Arises From Corporation's Refusal To Pay Rent Increase.

Starr Methodist Church and the Baltimore and Philadelphia Steamboat Company have come to grips over a portion of the Ericsson Line pier on Light street, south of Pratt. Tliis portion is 31 feet wide, extends 14 feet into the harbor and rights. It is owned by the church and is between a section of the pier owned by the company. The church leased it to the company for $2,200 a year and the taxes. The lease expired last December and the trustees of the church increased the rent to $3,000 a year and the taxes.

Officials of the company said the property was not worth it, and offered $2,000 a year for a new lease that would require the church to pay the taxes. Dr. George W. Haddaway, pastor of the church, said last night the ordinance was introduced only after all other attempts of settlement had failed and regretted that the ordinance was necessary after the 60 years of amicable relationship between the church and company officials. Property Valued At $3,600.

Real estate experts were employed by the church to value the property and reported that It was: worth $3,600 a year. Officials of the company relinquished the property. "Very good," said the trustees. "We will take our property back." Officials of the company thereupon marked off the strip belonging to the church, nailed a two-inth board in front of it and said to the trustees "There's your lot take it." Given Rlffht To Build Pier. The trustees got busy.

They employed as counsel Joseph C. France, John C. Tolson and Harry E. Gilbert. An ordinance was prepared and introduced in the City Council last night giving the church the right to build a pier on its property.

It repeals an old ordinance under which the company built the pier now standing on the church's property. Dr. Samuel Y. Harris, Sixth district, who introduced the ordinance, asked that it be sent to a committee, but Howard Bryant, President of the Council, cent it to the Harbor Board. Claiming Riparian Rights.

The trustees of the church are claiming riparian rights for a distance of 80 feet. This claim is an interesting feature of the controversy, as the company continues to exercise what it considers its right to the water. If the trustees win their fight they will compel the steamboat company to divide its Light street business between two separate piers, instead of concen trating it at one pier, as heretofore. 11 More Jobs Abolished By City Water Engineer V. Bernard Stems Makes Cuts Amounting To 915.3S1 In Salaries.

Eleven more positions, carrying in salaries, were abolished' yesterday by V. Bernard Siems, "Water Engineer. Mr. Siems reported to Mayor Jackson that he had dropped one machinist, two carpenters, one blacksmiths' helper, one machinists helper, one dynamo tender and five special laborers. Mr.

Siems said his total salary saving to date through the abolishment 'of positions in his department was TO ACT ON STATUE SITE Mayor Jackson Calls Meeting- For Thursday. Mayor Jackson yesterday called a meeting of the Municipal Art Commission for Thursday afternoon, November 8, to act on the site of the Lafayette statue. The call followed receipt of a stenographic report of the recent public meeting in the old First Branch Council chamber, at which the controversy over the site in front of Washington Monument was considered.

Shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Carroll settled at the mansion, war was declared. Mr. Carroll joined the Red Cross at the front.

Charles Bancroft Carroll, the only child, joined the United States Navy. Mr. Carroll spent much time with the French and Italian troops and did notable work in Sardinia. He was awarded the Italian Medal Militaire for bravery and administering to the wounded and dying at Piave. He also was presented with many other foreign orders.

Young, local pioneer "blind pool" operator, will take the witness stand today in his own defense. Young's direct testimony and cross-examination by Amos W. W. Woodcock, United States District Attorney, is expected to continue until late tomorrow afternoon. The trial of Young, charged with using the mails to defraud, began yesterday in the United States District Court before Judge Morris A.

Soper and a jury. Young's "blind pool" crashed last year following an attack by bankers on "blind pool" operations. Liabilities were estimated at more than Mr. Woodcock will close the Government' case today. The amount of money involved and the short time devoted by the Government in presenting its case were the subjects of discussion in the Postoffice.

Mr. Woodcock, who is prosecuting the case, lost no time in commencing his opening statement after the jury had been selected. Outlines State's Case. Mr. Woodcock explained that Young distributed through the mails letters purporting to ehow he had a system of beating the stock market.

In the letters, Mr. Woodcock said. Young deliberately misrepresented his methods of business and the income derived from investments entrusted to him. Th'e chief witness called was G. Harvey Porter, certified public accountant, who audited Young's books following the bankruptcy of his firm.

He was appointed by Austin McLanahan, named receiver by the United States District Court. Porter identified the books, which, he said, were first Bhown him by Miss Esther Coles, Young's secretary. Porter caused a stir in court when he said the books disclosed withdrawals by Miss Coles amounting to $6,000 during 1922. These were exclusive of salary and commissions from January 1, 1920, to October 12, 1922, totaling Porter declared. Porter said that beginning January 1, 1920, Young extended his transactions.

Prior to that date he worked "in a small way," he explained. Says 94,804,250 Was Invested. From that time until October 12, 1922, when the "pool" failed, Porter said, $4,394,250 had been invested with Young and dividends of $2,696,974.05 declared. Young's trading accounts, Porter said, showed losses amounting to $332,335.16 during the period he was paying dividends. George E.

Brill, postoffice inspector, who arrested Young after a search of nine months, was the first witness. He was followed by Mr. McLanahari and C. Arthur Eby, trustee in bankruptcy. Mrs.

Laura F. Wheeler, 609 East Twenty-seventh street, also was a witness. Mr. Woodcock expected to call about 12 witnesses this morning, he said. George W.

Lindsay and Murray T. Donoho, counsel for Young, said they njay call Miss Cole to the witness stand after Young has testified. They have not decided on this action. Young pleaded not guilty. Negro Gets $20,000 Award For Alienation Of His Wife Defendant, Said To Be Colored Cleraryman, Makes No Defense To Action.

John R. Mack, -colored, was awarded $20,000 damages yesterday by a jury in the Superior Court. He sued Emmitt W. Warfield, said to be a negro clergyman, for alleged alienation of the affections of Mack's wife. Warfield did not appear in court to contest the suit, and there was no defense to the action.

He filed an answer to the declaration, in which he denied he had caused Mack's wife to leave her husband. Warfield declared he had married his wife, Hattie, January 12, 1912, and lived with her at 422 Laurens street. Mack alleged misconduct on the part of his wife and Warfield. The verdict was for the full sum sued for by Mack. October 26, 1S23 "I believe there are six reasons for a 'happy home' existence and these all seem to "be found in Guil- ford: 1.
