Commenting upon the discovery today,
President Ucnt, of tho Automobile Club
of Philadelphia, said that for years auto

DR. BRATENAHL'S NEW POST
Election as Provincial Secretary Was
Expected by Episcopalians.
As had been expecte? by leaders of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
Diocese of Pennsylvania, the Rev, Dr,
O. C. F. Bratenahl. of Washington. D.
C., was chosen provincial secretary of
the third province at the closing session
of the primary synod of the province in
Pittsburgh last night. As Doctor Hraten
ahl had been the secretary, of the third
district, he was the logical man for the
position, and Bishop Garland and other
leading Episcopalian expressed their be
lief that he would' be chosen at the
Pittsburgh meeting before they left ftikl
the sessions of the synod. W
With the election of Doctor Bratenahl
to tills new position, which will occupy
U of one man's time and has a. much
broader scope than his former post, there
stems little doubt that the selection of
another man for the. position of superin
tendent of the HpUcowl Cjty. Mission
will be necessary. Doctor Bratenahl re
cti vod a rail to become superintendent
tevoral week egg. 7
. M. Frailer, Jr.. f this eity, was
chuatn treasurer of the provliu. Bijuui
John G. Murray, of Maryland, was
chosen president, and the Rev. T. J.
Blshain, of Pittsburgh, was named as re
cording secretary.

I'liilndelphla nnd Pennsylvania are re
sponding pobly to the appeal for the
funds needed to seiujl the Orn away to
Belgium with a full cargo. This morning,
when the oftlccs In the Lincoln Building
opened the fund had leaped ta a trlflo
over iX.W), nnd but M5.000 renra is re
quired. ,
That this amount will be raised is not
doubted by any one, but those persons
Who have been holding back until the
Inst minute before contributing should do
so Immediately, tho Ilellof Committee
icquests. To buy thousands of dollars'
worth of food requires time, and the ship
must sail on Wednesday. This means
that not counting Sunday but a little
over three days remain in which to col
lect tho $15,000. and time Is essential now.
The Orn will arrive hero tomorrow
morning from Chester, where It has boon
Unloading Its South American curgo.
lililps on tho Dclawnro will public tho
Mercy Hhlp cither by "dipping" colors or
by blasts 'roul tho whistles.
Telegrams from nil 6vcr the State lmvo
been received announcing shipments of
food by carload lots or money. Philadel
phia lias braced up to Its share of tho
work that now remains to bo done, de
termined that It shall not be said that In
tho last minutes the city had fnlled.
Contributions began to come In slowly
this morning, but near noon, they took a
suditcn spurt and there Is every Indica
tion that tho record of yesterday will bo
reached again today.
The thing that is most desired now is
large checks, suum of more than $100. A
few of these nnd the fund would soon bo
completed.
Tho Newspaper Committee mot nt noon
again today In tho olllco of John Waua
maker,'' and will probably bo In closed
session until after 3 o'clock, making the
final arrangements. Nothing of particular
note has come up yet.
Hamburg, Pa., has sent word that 100
barrcU of flour were shipped today, and
encouraging notes on the progress of the
campaign that are being waged In the
various towns of tho State.
COLLECT J300O A DAY.
Benefits, rural housc-to-houso canvasses
nnd private persons whoso hearts have
been touched by tho pitiful plight of tho
starving Belgians have swelled tho fund
considerably. Yesterday morning It stood
at a .trlflo more than $90,000.
Tho $5000-a-day recoid hasecn attained
for the past two days, and It is possible
that never before has any city mado
such a record so near to the end of a
campaign. If that pace Is kept for tho
next three days, Philadelphia may -indeed
eat a Thanksgiving dinner with a knowl
edge that It has sent the same to a de
serving nation.
Thousands of tons of foods are stacked
up waiting to be placed aboard tho Orn.
Word has reached hero that already the
suffering Belgians have heard that a
second ship Is about ready to start to
their relief and are eagerly awaiting Its
arrival.
Society has harkened to the cry for
food that Is coming across the Atlantic.
A vaudeville performance, followed by
dancing, was given Inst night at the
Creshelm Arms Apartments, Sit. Airy, for
the benefit of the fund. Mrs. Wnllaco
N, Smith and Miss Emily J. Grossbrenner
arranged tho entertainment.
Flour manufacturers in Minneapolis
have sent word that they will sell a
49-pound sack of flour for Belgian relief
for $1.53, They have already given away
large quantities. Checks, stamps, money
orders or currency will be accepted In
payment and the shipment will bo made
to any point without delay.
Wllllamsport has started a campaign,
and a telegram said the entire community
Is "touched by tho heart-rending appeal
that comes from a bleeding nation." The
American Foderatlon of Labor has raised
$110 and given It to the fund committee.
CHILDREN MAKE SACRIFICE.
From the children of tho First Baptist
Sunday School of Mllford, Pa., comes
word of a sacrifice that is touching.
These children will deprive themselves
of a Christmas tree celebration so as to
send $30 to the fund.
Teadng, which has already contributed
two carloads of food and $2000, has an
nounced that the Telegram and News
Times of that city will be edited and
published on November 25 and 26 by the
relief committee and a percentage of the
'receipts taken In by the papers on those
two days added to the fund. The special
editions will Include a page of comment
on the worth of the relief movement by
the Belgian Minister to the United States
and by eminent Americans.
Mrs. Louisa Grlswold, ot Colllngdale,

Dr. C. A. Schaufler, hend of the Federal

The park was tpiarantlncd yesterday by

It Is feared that the disease may havo

at several hundred thousand dollars, nro

"The criticism that wo havo not tnken

sold Doctor Schauflcr. "We held tho cat

place. They showed no symptoms of the

quarantined until November 9.
"Where they contracted tho disease Is
