the THE WASHINGTON HERALD. FRIDAY. AUGUST 15, 1913. HEAR ELECTION KICK Judiciary Committee of the Upper House Listens to Maryland Politicians. MAY SANCTION MOVE Action of Governor Goldsborough in Calling Special Probably Upheld.

A deputation of Democratic politicians from the State of Maryland were given a hearing yesterday before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the question of the validity of the action of Gov. Goldsborough in calling a special election for United States Senator in that State before the Maryland Legislature had met and made provision for such an election. The election is to occur in November. Blair Lee, a former State Senator, and who came within one vote of being the Democratic nominee for Governor, is the only announced candidate for the Senatorship among the Democrats. The indications are that he will be elected.

Interviews given by several Senators, ineluding Senator Bacon of Georgia, concerning the Maryland Senatorship, since the issue has been raised as to the action of the Governor of Alabama, have alarmed the Democratic leaders of Maryland and led to the conference today. William Rawles, of Baltimore, appeared and made an argument in favor of the validity of the election to be held in November. Blair Lee, the Democratic Senatorial candidate, was also present, accompanied by William H. Lamar, Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice Department, and George Lamar. May Uphold Governor.

Following the conference, Senator Bason expressed the opinion that while the action of the Governor calling the election before tne Maryland Legisiature had made provision for it, might be irregular, that the Senate would probably take the view that the election was 3 choice by the people, and would be accepted as a compliance with the amendment. The matter has been discussed between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, and it is understood that if the man chosen at the election in Nevember does not present himself to take the oath of office until after the Legislature meets in January in Maryland, no objection will be made to his taking the oath of office. The Democrats have practically acquiesced in this agreement. William J. Jackson, a Republican, is now filling the office, under a commission from the Governor of Maryland, who appointed him after the death of Senator Rayner and before the constitutional amendment had been proclaimed, to serve until the Legislature could choose a successor to Senator Rayner.

The Republicans in the Senate now hold that Senator Jackson's term, which began before the amendment was proclaimed, should extend until the Legislature meets, PROPERTY OWNERS WANT ROAD'S CHARTER TAKEN W. Mek. Clayton Presents Petition Asking Abatement of W. and B. Transit Company.

In a petition to the District Commissioners, William McK. Clayton, repreventing property owners and residents along the line of the Baltimore and Washington Transit Company, yesterday requested that the charter of this line be declared null and void and that. the penalties provided in its charter alledged violation of these provisions be collected. It is stated in the petition that the road has never served any purpose as a public utility; that its violation of its charter has "been open, continuous and notorious," and that its tracks constitute a "nuisance to the public." The road extends from the end of the Fourteenth Street line to Takoma, Md. The petitioners charge that the company has never paid a cent of taxes any time on anything;" that it had disregarded the requirements of the providing that it should make 2 sworn report through the District Commissioners to Congress on or before the first day of February of each year, and that it shows an excess of $100,000 of bond and stock issues over the cost of construction and equipment.

The report says, regarding the operation of the road: "The company has never run, nor does now run, cars as required, but we charge and offer to prove that for periods of months at a time no car has been operated over said line; that during the last month, embracing the period this railroad was before the Public Utilities Commission asking a 'clean bill of no car was run over the line. The reference to the bond issue made -in the petition is concerning a request of the Baltimore and Ocean City Railway Company, of Maryland, for the approval of the Public Utilities Commission to the issuance of $119,300 in stocks and bonds for the purpose of paying for the road. The commission decided that it was without jurisdiction, the Baltimore and Ocean City Railway Company being a foreign corporation. With the transfer of the property of the Baltimore and Washington Transit Company to this company, It becomes corporation local in character, and a request for a second before the commission probably will be granted at an early date. NO BATHTUB FOR HIM! Grover Garfield Arrested for Taking Dip in Park Fountain.

Because he took a bath in a park fountain, Grover Garfield has been sent to the Washington Asylum Hospital for observation. Park Policeman Lucien Davis yesterday morning bright and early found Garfield taking a dip.

Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, president of the national organization of the Florence Crittenden Mission, will address the encampment next Wednesday.

Receiver for Grocery Asked. A petition for the dissolution of the Eureka Wholesale Grocery Company, incorporated March 30, 1904, was filed by stockholders of the concern yesterday. The company carried on business at 46 and 63 Street Northwest, and petitioners allege that business was conducted on an unprofitable basis. They ask for the appointment of a receiver to wind up the business of the firm. MUSIC PUBLISHER ARRESTED.

PROBE MAY GO ON WITHOUT MULHALL Colonel, According to Physician, Is on the Verge of Nervous Breakdown. WATSON WAS PAID $3,500 Unless Col. Mulhall recovers sufficiently to resume the stand by 2 o'clock this afternoon. the House lobby committee will continue the investigation without hearing further from him. Col.

Mulhall, according to a physician's certificate which his attorney, John W. H. Crim, presented to the committee yesterday morning, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. There is little probability that he will be able to appear before Monday at the earliest, and those who have watched him through the tong ordeal before the Senate, doubt if he will be able to take the stand for a month. While there is much skepticism in some quarters as to the seriousness of the colonel's illness, it has been perfectly parent to those who have watched him that he has been in an extremely nervous state since the night he first took the stand before the Senate committee.

S. C. Meade, secretary of the New York Merchants' Association, was on the stand before the Senate Committee for a brief session yesterday morning. Mr. Meade had the books of the National Tariff Commission Association, by which James E.

Watson was employed. The books showed that Watson was paid $3,500 in all for fourteen weeks' work in behalf of a bill establishing a permanent tariff commission. The books also corroborated previous testimony to the ef-1 fect that the National Association of Manufacturers contributed $1,000 to the fund from which Watson was paid. The House lobby committee in secret session yesterday afternoon discussed future plans with a view to roceeding without Mulhall, if necessary. The nal plan of the committee was to examine Mulhall upon parts o1 his letters involving st or present members of Congress, and then hear the version of such of those members as charged to appear before the committee.

If Mulhall's illness keeps him from the committee for length of the committee will depend upon examination before the Senate to lay the ground work of ea minations of these members.

Chicago, Aug. from lightning attacked St. Joseph's Institution and St. Mary's Mission Home, twenty miles north of here today. The two were saved the heroic work of the priests.

One man, a carpenter, was reported missing. The loss on four buildings was $60,000, HENRY L. WILSON GETS REPRIMAND was made in explanation of the purpose of Great Britain in recognizing the Huerta government. The statement called attention to the fact that the recognition had been only that of a provisional government pending an election and ended with this paragraph: "The French and German governments also recognized Huerta after a reception by him of the whole diplomatic party, at which a congratulatory speech was made in their behalf by the American Ambassador. Ambassador Wilson considered this statement by Inference questioned the correctness of his action at the reception.

He was angered by it and in His own statement characterized it as a rank subterfuge unworthy of the traditions of the Foreign Office. The Ambassador believed that 1p making his statement was acting well within his own rights, and diplomatic usage as well. said Wednesday night that he believed the British Foreign would regard it merely as an expression of his personal views and that Great Britain would not be disposed to hola the United States responsible for his utterance. The Ambassador took tha view that the affair was one between himself and the Foreign Office, a question of fact, and expressed the cpinion that it would not result in interchanges between the two governments. President Is Displeased.

Yesterday's developments showed that directly the opposite was the case. Early in the day it was evident that the President was very much displeased at tee issuance of the Ambassador's statement. It was learned that he and Secretary Bryan had agreed that some steps should be taken to reprove the Ambassador, and at the same time to convince Great Britain that the Ambassador had spoker without authorization. The only question was whether this action should take the form of a reprimand or dismissal. The President was not disposed to overlook the fact that Mr.

Wilson's status is that of an official of the State Department on leave of absence, and that as such, any utterance from him criticising a friendly power might be construed as having official character, and thus threaten unpleasantness to the relations between the United States and the offended power. Secretary Bryan was called to the White House at noon for a conference with the President. The President directed him to ascertain if the statement attributed to the Foreign Office was authentic, and that pending the receipt of this information he seek the advice of Chairman Bacon, of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate, to what should be done. 1. 1: 24 Cables to Page.

Mr. Bryan sought first to get the information from the British Embassy here, but, on finding it closed, cabled to Ambassador Page at London to make an informal inquiry as to the statement and report immediately. Meanwhile, the President and Mr. Bryan decided that the question of the authenticity of the British statement mattered little in that they believed the impropriety involved in Ambassador Wilson's statement would stand, although the British statement never had been issued. Before Ambassador Page reported that the statement been made officially at the Foreign Office, the President had decided what the administration's course would be.

The fact that the President took the initiative in apologizing to the Foreign Office for the language employed by Ambassador Wilson in advance of any representations from that office that it had been offended, coupled with the emphatic tone in which the apology was made, convinced official Washington that he attaches great importance to the Foreign Office's statement itself, as well as to attitude of friendliness toward our Mexican policy which he believed the statement indicated. The President places a high value on the moral support of the powers for his Mexican policy, which he believes is his. Refers to "Ofcial Duties." The Statement given out by Mr. Bryan last night referred to dor Wilson's "official duties." Friends of the Ambassador were at a loss to know what these duties were. It was pointed out that his.

resignation has been accepted, after he requested it time and time again, and that he has been given leave of absence, to last until October 14, when his resignation goes into effect. It was stated that the Ambassador's only "official duty," to all appearances, was to keep himself out of Mexico, this having been the sole restriction placed upon him by the President in accepting his resignation. Despite the reports that he was to be summarily removed for his comment of Wednesday, Ambassador Wilson yesterday stood pat on his position. "What I said," he announced yesterday, "was stated as an individual and will be SO construed by any one with common sense. I am replying to an alleged statement from the British Foreign Office relating to me personally in connection with Mexican affairs.

I am a free agent and have a perfect right to comment on any statements concerning me personally. I was careful to distinguish between the British government and the Foreign Office, and my statement was well within the limits of diplomatic usage." Commenting on the reports that the State Department was inquiring into the accuracy of the report from the British Foreign Office, the Ambassador said: "It is none of the State Department's business. The State Department deals with the British government, and not with the Foreign Office. My comment dealt only with an alleged report from the Foreign Office, and I was careful to say that I did not credit the report." Ambassador Wilson declared that he had been scrupulously careful not to comment on the policy of the administration in Mexico or to make any public statement except matters in which he was personally concerned. No Danger at CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

The State Department yesterday received numerous dispatches of minor importance from diplomatic representatives in Mexico. It was reported that since July 8 there has been no danger to lives or property at Guaymas and that previous information which indicated alarming conditions was without foundation. It was stated that order had been restored at the sacked city of Durango. Revolutionists are reported as making forced collections of money in the San Dimas district, near Mazatian. A large number of them are said to be gathered near San Louis Potosi.

George Cushing and his son, concerning whom inquiries have been made at the State Department, are reported to have arrived safely at Tampico from Durango. SOLDIERS SEND HUERTA ASSURANCES OF LOYALTY Laredo, Texas, Aug. Tellez, I commander of the Northern military zone in Mexico, today sent the following telegram to President Huerta from Neuvo, Laredo: "To Victoriano Huerta: The soldiers of the North, who have just learned of your energetic measures to sustain the dignity of the nation, have the high honor of forwarding you their warmest felicitations. The army assures you of its loyalty and in the event of war the soldiers would gladly give up their lives for their copy of the telegram has been sent to Washington. MEXICO WOULD MAKE CONCESSIONS TO JAPS Mexico City, Aug.

was learned here today from an authentic source that Col. Felix Diaz, who is en route to Japan to thank the Japanese government for taking part in the Mexican centennial. carries with him a proposal for valuable concessions fer Japan: upon the west coast. The Mexican government hopes to tablish a big Japanese colony in Sinaloa and Sonora, where small farms will be conferred upon each immigrant who promises to remain in the republic and respect its laws. Marine and fishing concessions will be offered to a steamship line owned by the Japanese government and a big depot for coaling ships may De built near Guaymas or further down the coast.

The foreign department of the government is striving to get on familiar relations with Japan for a number or reasons. The principal one, it is pointed out, is that Mexico's ranks of workers have been decimated by war, and labor is needed here. Fresh capital is sought, and it is believed that the Japanese a'e as efficient as any others in building us the country's sources. BRYAN'S PEACE SEAL IDENTIFIED BY EXPERT Coin Showing Appropriate Dove Is Found to Be "Drachma" Many Centuries Old. Secretary of State Bryan received letter from the British Ambassador yesterday communicating to him an expert's opinion on the origin of the coin which the Secretary has adopted as his personal seal for State Department papers.

The Ambassador had written to the Curator of Coins of the British Museum for the opinion. It was learned that the coin was a silver drachma widely circulated at the time of Philip III of Macedon, who was the half brother of Alexander the Great, and ruled in the fourth century before Christ. The coin on one face shows the beardless Apollo with hand extended upon which a dove is perched. It was the dove which attracted Mr. Bryan, and he has thought it especially fitting that the coin should be used to seal his peace treaties.

It was announced yesterday that Panama and Guatemala have assented to the details of the treaty and that authorization hag been forwarded to the representatives of these governments to sign them at the State Department. CHARGES AGAINST BANK BEING INVESTIGATED Treasury Department Probing Allegations of Illegal Commissions and 01s." It was admitted officially at the Treasury Department yesterday that the department is investigating charges filed against the National City Bank of New York, Frank A. Vanderlip and Samuel McRoberts, its president and vice president, Henry A. Blain and Samuel Insull, and the Chicago City Railways and others connected with an alleged loan of $45,000,000 by the National City Bank to the Chicago interests. The charges are filed by J.

B. Hogarth, of Chicago, and consist of a petition and brief filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by Mr. Hogarth, asking for an accounting from the above defendants. The charges under investigations include allegations of illegal commissions and "rake-offs" and illegal loans in connection with the transaction. The charges have been referred to the bank examiner for investigation.

Henry A. Blair, one of the trustees of the Chicago Elevated Railways Company, and head of the Chicago Railways Company, was quoted yesterday as follows: "It is true that I negotiated a loan $44,500,000 with the National City Bank of New York, but it is ridiculous to imagine one bank would loan out such an amount. When I went to New York, after I had made an offer to the various stockholders of the roads of the sum of $44,500,000 for the stocks and bonds, the offer was accepted. When I went to Frank Vanderlip and Samuel McRoberts and asked them if they could not give a loan of $44,500,000 in order to merge all of Chicago's elevated roads. The loan was made, but it was distributed by the National 1 City Bank to ten different NO SCARCITY OF NURSES THREATENS WASHINGTON Attendants of the Ill Laugh at Idea that Capital May Face Baltimore Situation.

"Never a chance" sang all of the city's nurses in chorus last night in answer to a query as to whether Washington would likely face a shortage of nurses such as Baltimore is experiencing at present. Over in the Monumental City the Johns Hopkins Nurses' Club is having a great deal of difficulty in finding enough nurses to meet the steady demand. The scarcity is attributed to the fact that many are away from the city with patients spending the summer in the mountains or by the seaside. Hospital authorities here laughed heartily at the idea of there being a shortage in Washington, and several trained nurses pointed out the fact that in the telephone directory there are four solid columns of nurses' names in small type. This list is only a partial one of the entire number of nurses in the city.

Although some of Washington's nurses are out of the city for the summer with patients, the percentage is not sufficiently significant to cause any shortage. CASTRO FOUND ON ISLAND. He Is Not in Venesuela, but at Buen Ayre Nearby. Willemstadt, Island of Curacao, Aug. exact whereabouts of Cipriano Castro, who is trying to overthrow the Gomez government in Venezuela, have been discovered.

Castro is not in Venezuela, but is directing his operations from a small island called Buen Ayre, which lies in latitude 12:20 north. Of its 5.000 inhabitants, less than 500 are white. It so happens that at the present time the United States is negotiating for the purchase of the island on which to establish a naval depot. Word has been communicated to the Gomez administration in Caracas of Castro's whereabouts, and it is expected that steps will at once be taken to have him sent away from the island. Castro is living with a German plantation owner.

Steamer to Be Overhasled. The steamer Newport News, which has been used in transporting troops from Fort Washington to Fortress Monroe, left Washington yesterday for Skinner's Shipyard, Baltimore, where her boiler will be replaced by four new ones. From there she will proceed to Sparrow's Point, where she will undergo thorough overhauling before returning to Washington for further service. RIOT OF ORATORY BARELY AVERTED Study Club in Economics Has Tempestuous Meeting in Church. SOCIALISM IS DISCUSSED Trouble Starts When Questions Are Fired at Speaker, bat Chairman Finally Comes to Rescue.

What threatened to be an intellectuni riot, a battle of sarcastic questions, was quelled last night at a meeting of the Study Club in Economics, held at Ingram Memorial Church, by the presence of mind of Julian Pierce, chairman, who read newspaper accounts of the previous gathering, in which it was said that "riot was narrowly averted." J. K. White, socialist orator, had just concluded the piece de resistance. He had been loudly applauded, even thougk the chairman announced, in a stage whisper, that he had consumed most of the two hours usually devoted to the meeting. Above the shuffle of departing feet Mr.

Pierce read a letter from Francis de Sales Ryan, vice president of the Wash ington Truth Society, in which Mr. Ry.n gave the reasons of the Catholic Church for opposing Socialism. In a sarcastic, "don't blame it on me" tone, with frequent comment, the chairman read most of the letter. He had said it was too late to read all of the missive. At the conclusion, the audience laughed and sneered, and looked at the Socialist orator for approval.

Battery of Questions. Mr. Pierce then announced that a little time was to be devoted to questions. Several would-be questioners arose aud fired their heavy artillery. Mr.

Pierce then stated that three questions would be allowea. "Mr. Chairman! Will the speaker kindly tell us just what he means by "Mr. Chairman! Will the speaker please say why he is a Socialist?" "Mr. Chairman! Does the speaker mean to say that there is need for Socialism in this great, free country?" It was explained do that the speaker had devoted most of his time to anticipating those particular questions, but, if Mr.

White or Percy Skinner, his comrade, wouldn't mind, Mr. Skinner didn't. He told lucidly why he was a Socialist, what was Socialism, and whether Socialism was needed. There was an dercurrent of jeers. When he had finished, everybody applauded.

Then Mr. White arose in answer to another volley of questions. He told more about Socialism. L. D.

Young, a visitor in Washington from Beatrice, obtained permission to a five-minute speech. He started in true campaign orator style: "I have lived in the great, grand, and glorious West for twenty-two years. There is no poverty in my section of the country. There are no starving children. There is no need for Socialism.

Give me fifty young girls and I will guarantee to educate them, see that they are dressed, and marry them in good society. Give me fifty young men and I will do the same thing. I speak, iadies and gentlemen, of the soverign States of Nebraska and Kansas." Reads Newspaper Accounts. The questions waxed hotter. Mr.

Young's remarks had been followed by sneering cries of "what are you going to do with the Mr. Pierce rose from the trenches and charged at the enemy, using as a shield the newspaper accounts, in which it had been said that the former meeting "almost broke up in a riot." Should the busy young men in the rear of the building, so busily copying names, be able to repeat the accounts, he seemed to think. No; Heavens, no! The meeting quieted somewhat. Mr. Young, from his seat, viewed the gathering with an air of conscious superiority.

The rest shifted in their seats, ready to fire questions. But when it was announced that it was 10:30 o'clock, full thirty minutes past the hour provided in the constitution for a retirement to the busy world of work and sleep, the meeting was adjourned, although a dozen leading speakers of Washington citizens' associations, invited to address the club, had not yet been heard. PERSIAN DIPLOMAT HERE ROUSES BAHAISTS' IRE One Wing of Religious Body Threatens to Call Attention of Shah and President. Washington followers of Bahaism are interested in the schism that has occurred at the annual meeting of the Green Acre Fellowship at Eliot, resulting in a glorious victory for the Bahaist faction. After a stormy session the anti-Bahaists seceded and formed a separate organization termed the Green Acre Fellowship Associates.

Although the Green Acre movement as founded by Sarah J. Farmer stands for universal peace, the gentle white-winged dove has not been sighted at this year's meeting of the organization of deep thinkers. Alf Kuli Khan, of the Persian Legation, here, attended the sessions and took an active part in the proceedings. Members of the anti-Bahaist faction are indignant because he voted in favor of the Bahaists, after delivering an address in which he declared that as a diplomat his sole mission to Green Acre was one of peace. The antis are determined to bring All Kull Khan's actions to the attention of the Shah of Persia, President Wilson, and Secretary of State Bryan.

Although the schism at present seems a very serious one, It is believed by many that it will be healed before another summer rolls around. GEN. EDWARD F. JONES DEAD. Commanded Sixth Massachusetts, Which Lincoln Said Saved Capital.

Edward Jones, who commanded the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment in its memorable passage through Baltimore on April 19, 1861, when the first blood of the civil war was shed, died this morning at his home in this city, aged 85 years. He was stricken with cerebral hemorrhage on Saturday last, and on Monday an erroneous announcement of his death was sent all over the country. Gen.

Angered by the failure of an attempt to show that Miss Warrington had once been charged by M. J. Sullivan, Sacramento probation officer, with contributing to the delinquency of Maury I. Diggs' daughter, Evelyn Diggs, Coghlan leaped to his feet and shouted: Charge Creates Stir. "I might as well say right now that in my opening statement to this jury I will contend that Marsha Warrington was Induced to change her testimony to shade and color it by threat and promises of immunity." The remark created a sensation.

The attorneys for the prosecution were at once on their feet, vehemently protesting. "I was never promised anything, and no one ever threatened me," said the witness indignantly. "The only thing was told to do was to tell the truth." The case of F. Drew Caminetti, comrade of Diggs, on similar charge, came up before Judson Maurice T. Dooling this morning.
