Farland 's constable, had him ar
rested for "feloniously converting
$2900 to his own use."
Was indicted by May Grand Jury.
District Attorney Rotan and City
Solicitor Connelly, backed up by
Controller Walton, propose to bring
him to time.
The District Attorney's office Is getting

NEW YORK, Aug. 22. Business ses
sions were held today by all of the organiza
tions of the American Federation of Catho
lla Societies which is holding Its fifteenth
annual convention here.
Desplto the Intense heat all of the dele
gates In New York for tho ceremonies of
Catholic week, both clergy and laity, showed
enthusiasm, and tho churches where devo
tional exercises and tho halls whero the
business sessions were held were crowded.
Tho day began with a solemn requiem
high mass for departed members of tho Ger
man societies at St Joseph's Church.
At a meeting of the Catholic women
delegates In tho conference hall of Cathedral
College. Miss Helen M. Haney, who pre
sided, spoke In favor of a national alliance
of Cathollo women. Mrs. C. W. McDonald,
of Boston, who followed, went even further,
suggesting a worldwide union of Cathollo
women.
"The tendency today among Catholics Is
toward world federation," said Mrs. Mc

urged the women to give organized support
to the Cathollo sisters In relieving poverty.
Other speakers were Mrs. Mary Lymn, of

The plan is to strengthen the national or
ganization by remodeling It along the lines
of the Archdiocese Federation of Boston,
which Is now the biggest unit in the na
tional body,
Chas. T. Daly, secretary of the Boston
Federation, spoke on the subject and It was
expected that the change would be recom
mended by the Rev, James McFaul, Bishop
of Trenton, Ne. J., chairman of the organi
zation committee. A strong defense of tho
patriotism of Roman Catholics was voiced
at the session of the general federation by
Francis Slattery, of Boston.

fight for tho next convention. The chief con
tenders are the delegates representing St

RUMANIA'S TREND
TOWARD ENTENTE
ALARMS GERMANS
Berlin Fears Agreement
Has Been Reached Between
Bucharest and Petrograd
SITUATION MORE SERIOUS
AMSTERDAM. Aug. 28.
The Rumanian situation Is again taking
the leading place In tho war news. Dis
patches from Berlin and from Bucharest,
via Berlin, describe tho relations between
Rumania and the Germanic allies as ex
tremely Berlous. Wolff Bureau dispatches
hint that an Austro-German ultimatum Is In
preparation.
The Kreuz Zeltung states tho negotiations
which took place nt Bucharest at the week
end between the Russian military attache
and the Rumanian Minister of War must
bo considered ns proof that Rumania has
Joined the Entente.
"It Is supposed," says this newspaper,
"that plans for a Russian march through
Rumanian territory were discussed. Of
course, Germany would regard any such
arrangement as a casus belli."
Major Moraht says in the Tageblattt
"German and Austrian Ministers at Buch
arest have pointed out the consequences to
Rumania of granting permission to the Rus
sians to march through Rumanian territory.
Toward us Rumania must not play her
sphinx tricks so far that ono day, with
shrugging shoulders, she will place before
tis un fait accompli for which wo have not
been able to tako proper counter measures."
BERLIN, Aug. 22. Dispatches from
Bucharest published hero Indlcato that the
situation In Rumania with regard to that
country's stand In tho war Is still very
active, but without a crisis being appre
ciably nearer. The efforts of Mr. Tako
Joncscu, tho Minister of tho Interior, Mr.
Flllpesco and the Mllle group, for precipi
tate nctlon vby Rumania in Joining tho En
tcnto Towers, are still botng met by moves
on tho part of Mr. Carp, leader of the con
servative party: Mr. Alexander Marg-
hlloman and Mr. Majorcsco In favor of Ru
mania continuing neutral.
Seemingly, according to the dispatches,
tho conservatives are gaining slightly. The
conserutlvo group Is being accused by Mr.
Mlllo'n organ, Aricterul, ns aiming at the
downfall of tho government of Mr. Bretlano
In favor of tho Carp.Marghlloman coalition.
Tho conservative orgnn. Stoagut, says tho
present situation of uncertainty Is Incensing
public opinion to tho danger point
Public opinion In Germany apparently Is
not alarmed nt the prospect of Rumania
entering tho war. In official circles the
situation Is viewed calmly, and a similar
attitude Is being maintained In Vienna.
According to reliable sources In Bulgaria
tho prospect of a war with Rumania re
mains popular, owing to the deslro of the
Bulgarians to regain Dobrudja. territory
lying along the Slick Sea, which was lost
by the treaty of Bucharest In 1913.
HAD LICENSE, HOT NOT BRIDE
Former Sweetheart, Deserted by Girl
he Loved, Returns Permit Other
Marriage Licenses
After obtaining a marrlago license on
August 12, Mary Kuszmjak, of 308 Lom
bard street, changed her mind about hav
ing tho knot tied and decided that she
would rather remain single. On tho next
day she deserted her former sweetheart
and wont to New York city. Frank Faracz,
of 516 South Third street, tho prospective
husband, waited what ho thought was a
reasonable length of tlmo for the return
of the Intended brido, and after Bho failed
to mako an appearance he returned tho
license today for cancellation. Miss Kuszm
1ak Is 21 years old; Faracz Is one year
older.
Charles Brahm, 47 years old, of Col
legevllle. Pa., whose wlfo obtained a di
vorce from him In Germany on July 14,
last year, procured a marriage license to
day to wed Pauline Merz, ago 41, of 6229
Glrard avenue. Brahm camo to the Mar
riage License Bureau early In the spring
of this year, but was Informed that It was
necessary for him to obtain a certified
copy of the decree of divorce from the
courts In Germany. Fdur months later he
received the necessary paper, which was
held up by the British censorship, ac
cording to Brahm.
This document being written in German,
Brahm was obliged to have It Interpreted
by the German consul.
Mrs. Mers was divorced by Common
Pleas Court No. E on July 6, 1915, on the
grounds of cruelty. Brahm's wife obtained
a divorce for desertion.

FRANK J. CUMMISKEY
CUMMISKEY RESTORED
TO POST AT CITY HALL
Former Head of Property Bu
reau, Dismissed in June, Rein
stated; Political Signifi
cance Seen
Frank J. Cummlslcey was restored today
to tho position of chief of the Bureau of City
Fropcrty from which he was dismissed for
personal reasons" on Juno 0. Mayor Smith
summoned him. Instructing him to return to
hln ofllcc In City Halt, and then left for
Atlantic City.
No explanation was made by tho chief
executive for his unprecedented action, but
It Is looked upon ns a nioo of political Im
portance. It Is now expected that tho 25th
ward, In which Cummlskcy is a political
worker, will hereafter be an "administration
ward."
Cummlskcy was formerly an oxamlnor In
the Stato Insurance Department and also
represented his ward In Select Council. Ho
haB been for many years a follower of form
er Magistrate 'William P. Campbell, Mc-
Nlchol leader of high power in the north
eastern section of the city .
Cummtskey was appointed provisionally
as head of the Bureau on January IS. suo
ceedlns William H. Ball, who has since be
come secretary to Governor Brumbaugh.
He was appointed permanently on March
10 at a salary of $4300. On June 0 he
was asked to resign by the Mayor, but
refused to comply with the request Sub
sequently ho left the office, and Robert
C. Hicks, then special agent for the De
partment of Public Works, was named
temporarily. Mr- Hicks will now return
to his old position.
In ,a list of ward leaders which the
Mayor recently mads public he failed to
Include Campbell. Whether tho restora
tion of Cummiskey will mean the recog
nition of Campbell Is a matter of specula
tion among politicians today. There Is
little doubt, however, that the Adminis
tration will be assisted rather than retarded
by workers In that ward.
Cummiskey and Hicks spent Boveral
hours In the office of the Bureau of City
Property today. When they left together,
Cummiskey said to newspapermen: "I am
happy to have been vindicated."
SENDS $4 TO CONSCIENCE FUND
Texas Prencher Forwards Money From
Dead Man Who "Beat tho Gov
ernment" WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo today received four
one-dollar bills sent to the conscience fund
by a Texas preacher. A letter accompany
ing the contribution says:
"You will find Inclosed four one-dollar
bills. As the person sending them has got
to God and Is doing his best to get to
heaven, and this Is what he beat tho Gov
ernment out of several years ago, bo please
make some disposal of them, as the one
sending them don't want them, and
oblige."
FIRES DRIVE 13 FROM HOMES
Downtown Residents Forced to Flee in
Nightclothes When Two
Dwellings Burn
Seven persona fled to the street In their
nlghtoloth.es early today after fire was dis
covered In the three-story store and dwell
ing of Samuel Weiss, 1033 South Seventh
street. The loss was about J500,
There was also a nightclothes procession
of six persons from the store and dwelling
of Israel Oppenbaum, 1S28 Wolf street,
when fire was discovered In the rear of the
store. The loss was about 9300. o
If you analyze the details of the rooms
you most admire you will find that,
almost without exception, they have
hardwood floors. The unequaled ap
pearance of hardwood lifts any room
above the commonplace adds to the
beauty of aryr decorative scheme. And
hardwood costs very little more than
ordinary flooring. Get my estimates.
