ML ataff correspondent of the Publlo
Ledger, who returned yesterday on the
Frederilc VIII with Ambassador rjerard.
says concerning the U-boat Issue with qr
rroaiij,
"Ambassador Otrard has returned to the
United States to discuss with the President
the steps, dlplomatlo and military, which
should be taken by the United mates to
prevept Germany from beginning- again to
Ink merchantmen without warning;. I
make thU statement not as a quotation
from the Ambassador, but ns a result of
my own observations In Berlin during the
EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, ' WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER U, 1910
City News in Brief
last Ave months.
' "I am able to s
say with absolute Certainty
that the Ambassador brings no statement of
definite peace terms either from the Kaiser
I or from the Chancellor or from the heads of
I the Foreign Office. Ambassador Gerard
has not seen the Kaiser since his lslt to
' the Oreat Headquarters last April
I "Moreover, I am able, to stats from Cler-
man sources that four weeks ago the kal-
cer refused to grant to Ambassador Gerard
another conference with the Council at
headquarters for tho purpose of dlscusslnc
Germany's peace terms. That Council
rules Germany.
"Indeed, great as Is the desire for peace
I In Germany, the leaders of the Foreign
I Office do not look with favor upon media
tion by the President of the United Stolen.
I At the present moment Germans, from
i throne to stable, believe 'the hand' of1 'It
son Is the hand of England,' and i. recent
j emissary of the Presldont who was sent to
convince the German Foreign Office of the
1 President's- true neutrality comnUtelv failed
' '- to shake this belief.
' Indeed, "at the present moment Germany
I la thinking a great deal less about peace via
the United States than about war with the
' United States. That la the true reason for
1 the return of Mr, Otrard. The Ambus
sador's object Is to discuss with the Presl-
dent the apeclflo steps which may be taken
I by the United States tp keep Germany from
beginning: again to sink merchant ships
I without warning:. In addition, his wish Is
to acquaint the Prostdent with the details
of the Inner political struggle between the
supporter, of Von Tlrpltx and the support
ers of the Chancellor, a struggle whose out
1 oome will determine whether the United
v t Btates la to be drawn Into1 the, war,
noi tThe Tlrpltx argument - runs: The
United States could harm us no more as
a belligerent than aha In harming us today
as a neutral. We could starve Hngland
In three months If the submarines were
allowed to sink without warning. The
United States Is as much an ally of Eng
land as any British colony. President Wil
son sends notes to us which nre virtually
ultimatums every time we break Infractions
of International law."

Bed Sox. Leonard appeared to have a
world of stuff, but was Inclined to be wild

Into a hole.
The Inning closed when Mowrey fanned,
but not before hitting several fouls with
the count three and two.
Marquard had Hoblttsell In the hole, but
wasted too many pitches, considering that
he was enjoying a lead, and, as n result,
walked him. The Ited Sox coachers were

fence In an effort to get the ball, but ft
just struck his finger tips and bounded
against the wall. Hoblltiell feared that
f Johnston would catch the ball and only
i get to third, Lewis being credited with a
double on a ball that would have been or-
' atfnarlly good for a triple.

The first three balls pitched to Gardner
were low and on the outside and Marquard

the Red Box tho lead, after Ilrooklyn ap

Three Years' Fight Fails to Keep

PLAN PROTEST MEETING
The Indignation ot an entire community
blazed up today against the action of
Judges Uarratt nnd Davis, of the License
Court, In granting permission to n saloon
keeper to locate his barroom In their midst,
after three years of protest and vigilance
had kept tho neighborhood frco from
saloons.
Tho community centers about Sixtieth
street and Lunsdowno avenue. Tho saloon
keeper Is Michael J. Rurke, whose bar Is
at 2100 Callouhlll street Armed with a
transfer license; ho will move his saloon to
tho southwest comer of Sixtieth and Luns
downo avenue, In the very heart of the
community.
Steps to circumvent the Invasion already
are under way, although anti-saloon leaders
fear that nothing can be done except to
volco the protest of the neighborhood
against the court's action.
PLAN PROTEST MKRTINO.
A protest meeting will be held next Sun
day night In tho Mary Simpson Memorial
Methodist Church, Sixty-first and Jefferson
stieets, and the pastor, the Rev, Kdgar C.
Adumson, will preach a sermon directed
against the court's decision. Other leaders
will speak.
To say that we are amazed at this out
rageous decision Is putting It mildly," Mr,
Adnmson declared today. "Any person who
cures to learn haw wo feel about It should
como to the protest meeting. Individually
and collectively we have fought, worked and
protested and have kept our doors free from
contamination, and now the court allows
a bar to sett'e In the veiy center of our
community, where Its evil Influence will
radiate In all directions. It would hnve
been evil enough to permit a saloon to lo
cate on our outskirts. Rut to saddle it
right In among us Is a shame and an out
rage. It means a blow at the community's
morals."
Tho pastor's denunciation was ro-echood
by other Inhabitants of the llttlo "dry"
community, which Is proud that tho near
est saloons have been kept as far away as
Sixtieth street and Olrard avenue, Blxty
first and Thompson streets and Klfty-slxth
street, with none to the north,
MANY REMONSTRANTS
"It Is disgraceful that over the protests of
the people who have mado this community
what It Is tho court should send a saloon
Into our midst," said the Rev. Francis S.
Hort, pastor of the Calvin Presbyterian
Church. 'Tho opposition to saloons in this
neighborhood, as the court was no doubt
well aware, has been growing steadily In
the last three years. Defore we began to
fight threatened Invasions In earnest It was
difficult to get more than two or three re
monstrants, but of late It has been the
regular thing to bring twenty and thirty
persons Into court to protest. Once we
had seventy remonstrants. Does not that
mean something to the court!"
Conditions that existed In the community
when the court twice refused Rurke's peti
tion for a transfer have not changed, ac
cording to Alexander Ypung, a druggist,
on the northwest corner, across from the
saloon site.
'There Is no more need for a saloon now
than there was then," he said. "In fact,
there's less need now.''
"Why did the court change Its mlndT"
demanded Harry C Dennis, of G002 Lans
downe avenue, next door to the site, who Is
superintendent of the Haney-Whtte Lum
ber Company and one of thrf anti-saloon
leader "Opr remonstrance, signed by 700
names, clearly Indicated the sentiment of
the neighborhood "
NINTH TRIAL SUCCEEDS
Charles S. Altken, who conducts an oyster
saloon In the building where the rum shop
will be opened, declared that the court's
decision Indicated that It did not care what
the neighborhood sentiment was.
"Not only for myself but for the good
of the neighborhood I objected to the trans
fer of the saloon and signed the remon
strances," said Altken, who Is a tenant.
'The coming of the saloon will cause
property values to drop, I, for one, will
lose money moving, t
The property was sold two -months ago
for 112,600 to a man named llurrui. Altken
said. Uurke, the saloonkeeper who will
settle there, was the only one out of Ave
liquor men granted Deceases to transfer
their bars to West Philadelphia this week,
It was his ninth attempt to bave'hla license
transferred from 2100 Callowhtll street,

By PERRY ARNOLD
CLARKSI1URO, W. Va Oct. 11.
Charles V.. Hughes today made curt denial
of charges mado by Norman Hapgood that
thero vvna nn understanding between himself
and German propagandists. He did not
mention the charges specifically, nor refer
to Hapgood by name, however.
"I have no understanding, no agreements,
no Intrigues with anybody," ho nnld, "but
I stand for the Interests of the United

Hughes preached n sermon on prosperity.
Though his voice Is In splendid condition
he saved it nil possible and kept his hat
on because of the chilly weather. Fol- this
ho asked his audience of 2000 to pardon
him.
He deplored the prccnt "unhealthy"

men are built on sand."
"Our friends on the other side," he said,
"told us Wo were responsible for the high
cost of living.
'They have not touched the cost of llv.

for making a living."
Swltlchtng to criticism of tho Adminis
tration's Mexican policy, Hughes asserted:
"I desire to see our peace maintained.
"We can do that," he said. "Our friends
talk nbout their policy, particularly In
Mexico, ns though It were a policy, of peace.
It has not been a policy of peace. It has
been a policy of destruction of the lives
and property of American citizens because
of the withdrawal of tho protection to

News at a Glance
For the first time In halt a century, ex
cept where storm and fog Interfered, not
one merchant vessel flying the flag of a
Ruropean country, has left or entered this
poft. In almost three days, sccordlng to
shipping men.
Such are the conditions of the troneat
Isntlo trade In thin port as n consequence
of the C-erman submarine activity off the
American coast.
Shipping Interests said it was the heaviest
Mow to American commerce that has been
delivered since the Civil War.
In the meantime Insurance rales have
soared on all exports, with no guarantee
that the continuance of attacks upon rner
chantment would not make them prohibi
tive. Cargoes valued at millions of dollars are
being held up awaiting sailing orders, whl e
severnl merchantmen have obtained their
clearance papers without anything dennlte
cpncernlng their departure being announced.
Although she has a gun mounted on the
after deck, placed there for protection
against Oerman submarine attack, the
Rrltlsh steamship Oeorglc, under charter to
the American Line, and one of the largest
Khlps trading to this port. Is still tied fast
to her whsrf at the foot of Washington ave
nue. The Oeorglc Is fully loaded with a val
uable cargo for Liverpool, and with 1200
horses for Rrest, Krsnce.
Hive other vessels loaded with food
supplies nnd war material have obtained
clearance papers nt the Custom House, hut
nre awaiting sailing orders from their
owners. They Include the Danish steamship
Alexandra, for Helslngborg, loaded with
grain; the Rrltlsh steamship Arab, for
Marseilles, with flour and grain; the steam
ship Crown Point, for London, with general
merchandise; tho Rrltlsh steamship Amer
ican Transport, for Manchester, with a steel
cargo, nnd the llrnzlllan steamship TIJuco,
for Lisbon, with general merchandise.
Some of these vessels hnve been equipped
with a little Instrument, known as the radio
direction finder. This Instrument Is sup
posed to assist the commander In ascertain
ing tho direction from which n radio mea
shko from another vessel Is coming. When
the Oerman submarines send out calls to
compatriots or to decoy merchantmen, the
vessels fitted with one of tho Instruments
will ho able to tell the true direction of the
source of the call and have a chance to
slip away, especially at night

fldsnce. It Is bolleved to coincide with
cable dispatches received earlier yesterday
from the other side.
The report from the captain of the
freighter Christian Knudsen made officially
says he saw while standing on the deck ot
the U-53, before his ship was sunk by her,
the conning towers of two U-boats, four
miles distant
Substantiation Is hsd In the report of
two officers of the Greek liner Patriae, who
said they saw a boat they recognized as
the U-B3 signaling early Monday morn
ing, presumably In communication with
sister submerslbles.
It has. developed that the Allies, In their
endeavor to destroy the raiders, were using
aeroplanes. These "submarine hawks"
have been out in large numbers from Can
ada, especially from Halifax. Yesterday
nnd today they were sweeping Atlantic
waters quite a distance put.
A high Rrltlsh official said that Captain
Rose would probably head for Gulf ports
and attempt to resume raiding. Rut he 'ad
mitted the temptation of sinking ships
such as the Adriatic, the Phlladelphlan and
the Mlnnetyvha might Induce him to linger
off New York. The Minnehaha Is scheduled
to sail today with a cargo of more than
10,000 tons ot war materials. The Adriatic
and the Phlladelphlan are to sail tomorrow.
Last night there were reports that all threo
would sail at approximately the same hour
today, be met outside by Allied cruisers
nnd convpyed through the danger tone.
Cancellations of passages on the Adriatic
have not Been as large as reported. She
will probably sail with forty Instead of
fifty first cabin passengers, 100 Instead ot
155 second cabin and a like number of
third cabin.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Oct, 11. "It Is
evident that the motor bus for passenger
service, as at present designed and with
the present cost and character of fuel, has
two distinct fields, one In which It Is In
direct competition with city or Interurbsn
lines, and the other In which It serves as a
feeder where street cars have not been ex
tended," said Rrltto Rudd, of Chicago, re
porting for a committee on motor vehicles
before the American Klectrlo Railway Asso
ciation here today.
"Be human and be natural." said Ivy
U. L' i New York, formerly a Penn
sylvsnia Railroad official, ln discussing
publicity before the trolleymen'e national
meeting. "Take the newspapers Into your
confidence. Don't he afraid ot publlo preju
dice. The five-cent fare fetish, is not un
assailable. Educate the peoplo to under,
stand that service Is based upon revenue
and that If they want the best of servlea.
they must pay for It The publlo right
now Is educating Itself to buy sIxHieat
bread.
"Don't be content to simply get things
Into the papers. Use all the newspaper
spaoe you can pay for,, and then write
your own heading and premaiibe your own

BRITAIN TAKES OVER
WHEAT AND FLOUR AT
MONDAY'S CLOSING
Cabling to This Country of Daily
Market QuotationB Discon
tinued by Order of the
Government
CANADA MUCH CONCERNED
NEW TORK. Oct 11. The Hartlett-Hra-zler
Company has snnounced thst cables
have been received thst the Rrltlsh Gov.
ernment has taken over tho wheat and flour
stocks at Monday's closing prices and that
no more quotations will be cabled dslly,
MONTREAL. Oct 11. The wholo topic
of discussion In the grain trade of Cnnnrta
Is. "Will Great Rtitstn commandeer the
Canadian wheat crop?"
There Is much nervousness displayed due
to the fact that the commandeering last
year was made a mess off and that It dis
organized the Canadian market completely
for some time. Rig Canndlnn traders say
they will throw overboard the big orders
they have sold to agents of foreign Allied
Governments If any commandeering Is done
hero this year. The reason Is that If the
wheat la commandeered here there Is ex
pected to be a big break In prices and ex
porters will not know where they stand In
regard to profits on the changing market.
Thin year In many of the contracts there
Is a clause to the effect that If the com
mandeer order Is put In force exporters
will not be responsible for delayed ship
ments on that account.
The only way In which the United Stales
wheat market will be affected will bo by
tho lack of competition In the Kngllsh
market, ns there will be no competitive
bidding from the Importers of several cities
there. Wheat will be bought at one price
for each grade free on board steamship nt
a named port Exporters will be in no way
responsible for Its delivery beyond that
point of shipment
There are British agents buying In the
markets ot both Canada and the United
States now. They have been making pur
chases at satisfactory prices for some time
to nil concerned, but prices have found com
petition despite this, and have continued to
advance. The future outcome ,wlll be
watched with Interest

Refore Imposing the fine Judge Audenrled
sternly rebuked Morris as follows: "You
should have known that defiance ot a court
subpoena Is an Intolerable act against jus
tice. A man summoned as a witness cannot
put himself above the law. It was your
duty to respond promptly to that subpoena
and appear In court You should" be made
an example of as a warning to others with
slmllsr ideas regarding the service of subpoenas."
