So great has been the demand for seats at the forthcoming production of Charles Fawcett's three-act comedy, Tragedy," by the Immaculate Conception Dramatic Club, that the pastor of Immaculate Conception Church, the Rev.

Tuesday there will be a performanca at Mount Hope Retreat, which the players will give for the benefit of the inmates, after which the visiting clergy and players will be entertained by Sister Magdalene, superioress of the institution.

Bns Company Sued For Four suit.s for an aggregate of damages were instituted acainst the Baltimore Transit Companv in tho 4 -i I Auto Commission Secretary Had XerTons Breakdown And Snot Herself. Suffering from a nervous breakdown, due, it is believed, to overwork, Miss Mary B.

Mordecai, secretary to the Au tomobile Commissioner of Maryland and prominent socially, shot herself shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning in her apartment at the Walbert. The bullet fractured her skull and penetrated the brain. She is in a critical condition at Mercy Hospital and slight hope is en tertained for her recovery. "The report of the pistol was heard by her brother, D. Harry Mordecai, who, with another sister, Mrs.

George L. Harrison, lives in the same apartment. Mr. Mordecai went to his sister's bed room and found her unconscious across the bed with a small revolver near her. Dr.

Walter D. Wise, of the Walbert, had Miss Mordecai removed to Mercy Hospital. Dr. A. C.

Harrison was called in consultation and Dr. Wise operated on her. It was said late last night at the hospital that she had one chance in twenty of living. Miss Mordecai has perhaps as wide an acquaintance and as many devoted friends, who love her for her splendid traits of mind and heart, as any other woman in Maryland. Monday evening she went out with her sister and brother to the theatre.

Returning homeshe read a while and retired. She appealed entirely cheerful and normal. Worry and overwork are believed to have brought on a sudden nervous breakdown and unbalanced her. She has been secretary to the Automobile Commissioner since the office of the Commissioner was created in 1910. Her unfailing courtesy, cheerfulness and efficiency were a tremendous asset to the office.

The last week-end was spent by her with Postmaster and Mrs. Sherlock Swann at Briarfield, their home at Rux-ton. She came to town Monday with Colonel Swann, went to her office in the Garrett Building and did her work as usual. Miss Mordecai is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.

Randolph Mordecai, She has three brothers besides D. Harry Mordecai. They are George P. Morde cai, of Stevenson, Baltimore county; Louis fc. Mordecai, of Sacramento, and Randolph France.

Mordecai, of Paris, TO OPERATE ON SUNDAY Evangelist Will Return To Dr. Howard A. Kelly After Kansas City Campaign. The Rev. Billy Sunday, whose recent campaign in Baltimore stirred up deep religious feeling in the community, Is to be a visitor to Baltimore as soon as his present campaign in Kansas city comes to an end.

lie will come, not to conduct more religious services, but to go under the knife on a surgeon's table. Mr. Sunday has suffered for some time from double hernia and at times it has caused him intense pain. It was noticed from time to time in the course of his meetings in Baltimore that he seemed to be suffering intensely and appeared weak and haggard. This was generally attributed to nervous exhaustion, the result of his vigorous methods in the pulpit, but such was not the case.

It was the hernia that was troubling him. Before he left Baltimore he consulted Dr. Howard A. Kelly about his condition. Dr.

Kelly told him an operation was the only thing that would give him permament relief, and urged that it be performed as soon as possible. Mr. Sunday had his Kansas city campaign on hand and would not agree to the operation until that had been ended. At his request Dr. Kelly agreed to perform the operation.

Dr. Kelly admitted yesterday afternoon that Mr. Sunday was to come to him at the close of the Kansas city campaign for the operation, but said the exact date had not been set. That rested entirely with Mr. Sunday, the Doctor said, although he expected it would be some time toward the end of June.

COAL DEALERS FIX PRICES Scale Same As In Effect Here Last October. There will be no immediate advance in the price of coal here. The Baltimore retail coal dealers yesterday received the new schedule of wholesale prices from the Beading Coal and Iron Company and at their meeting last night in the Royal Arcanum Building fixed the retail prices to be charged in Baltimore. These are the same that have prevailed since last October. The prices for this month will be as follows: Hard, No.

1, $7.35 No. 2. $7.60 No. 3, $7.85 nut, pea, DucKwneat, Sunbury No. 2, $7.85 No.

3, $8.10 nut, $8.25. Lykens Valley No. 2, $8.35: No. 3, $8.60 nut, $8.60. There will be an advance on these prices of 10 cents a month until the maximum price of the year is reached next November.

"FLIMFIJOtMED" OUT OF $225 John Zamostlci Prove Easy Victim For Two Italians. Fleeced out of $225 by two young Italians, John Zamostki, 33 Cedar avenue, hurried into police headquarters yesterday afternoon and begged that his money be recovered and the swindlers arrested. Zamostki met the men near his home. They asked him where they could de posit $5,000 in a savings bank and showed him a roll of what he thought was the money in question. Zamostki said he would be glad to accommodate them, particularly because he was to get $5 for doing so.

"You take the money," said one of the men, "but you will have to put up security of some kind- so we will know you will not- rob us." "All I have is $225," replied Zamostki. He was told that would do. He handed over the money and they gave him the package supposed to contain the $5,000. They walked several blocks and Zamostki was told to go in a shop and get a piece of tobacco. While he was in the store the men disappeared.

He opened the package and found it contained only two $5 bills which had been carefully wrapped around slips of paper of the size of a bill.

Nothing less than a cloudburst at 4.30 o'clock will stop Baltimore's prepared- ness parade this atternoon. The Weather Bureau predicts a little rain for tods V- hut it- mnTiifost'a it I votion to preparedness to the extent of expressing unofficially the hope that' clear skies will smile down ujton Maryland patriots when 4.30 M. arrives.

Had the wave of enthusiasm which has swept over the city since Sunday come a week or two earlier the outpouring of citizens, it is safe to say, would have almost rivaled New York's exhibition last Saturday. As it is, the roster of marchers which a week ago promised to number but little over has jumped in half the time it took to raise that number to more than 4.000. And until the last marching bearer of the Stars and Stripes has luissod Governor Harrington in the reviewing stand no one can tell at what figure Baltimore's limit of patriotism will be reached. It was decided only within the last few lays to add an industrial section to the parade when requests for positions uegan io pour in. Still After Places In Line.

They were still clamoring for places last night, and they will probably be clamoring when formation time arrives this afternoon. Stuart S. Janney, who will marshal the civic section, declared that every individual in the citv who could walk and who thought enough of his country's welfare to walk along the parade route should report to him at Cathedral and Monument streets between 3.30 and 4 o'clock this afternoon. That request applies to civic clubs or friendly groups of individuals as well as to individuals themselves. Yesterday's most important announcement regarding the parade was that the representatives of that department in which America is already most fully prepared the financial department will march for preparedness.

At 11 o'clock today the financial forces of the city will mobilize in the Continental Trust Building and arrange to join the procession. H. A. Orrick, president of the Stock Exchange, will make formal announcement of the event on the floor of the exchange today. Gilbert B.

Bogart returned from New York yesterday, full of enthusiasm over the spectacle there of financiers marching shoulder to shoulder with their clerk and office boys. Much the same thing will be witnessed in Baltimore today. At the head of the civic division there will march an incarnation of the soul-stirring painting, Spirit of '76" three boys, arrayed as were the "poor Continentals in their ragged regimentals," one blowing a fife, the other two beating drums. Cadets And Guns To Be Seen. A company of 60 cadets from St.

Elizabeth's Parochial School has been given a place in line with its fife and drum corps of 15 boys. Another provisional drum of 60 boys, not uniformed, has promised to report to Marshal Janney for a place in the parade. The Naval Militia has announced that it will bring out its new machine gun, with a capacity of 500 shots a minute. William H. Forrest, of the Massachusetts National Guard, has promised to come over from Washington with his armored motorcar.

These are only a few of the new features that are being added to the parade every hour. The debutante rookies from the Chevy Chase women's training camp will traverse the route in automobiles. They got enough marching in camp, but they will be in full uniform. After the parade everybody is invited to a moving-picture show at 8.30 o'clock at the Fourth Regiment Armory, where "Guarding Old Glory," a preparedness picture, will be shown and speakers will discuss preparedness.

Officials Speak At Auditorium. Everybody Asked To Aid. Every suitable agency in the city which can be recruited for public service will be used in Jlayor Preston's campaign to make Baltimore "the cleanest city in the United States." This was brought out at the meeting held at the Auditorium Theatre which marked the beginning of last night's campaign. Addresses were made by the city's health officials as well as practicing physicians, in which it was clearly pointed out that ideal health and living conditions could be attained only through the co-operation of the individual. Surg.

-Gen. Rupert Blue, United States Public Health Service, and Dr. William H. Welch, of Baltimore, who were expected to be present, were detained, the first receiving a call which kept him in Washington last night and the other having to attend a meeting at Saranac Lake, N. Y.

But there, were other speakers well qualified to discuss so important and technical a subject. Committees were appointed covering the various organizations in the city, members of which will be asked to aid in the campaign. These include improvement and business association execu tives, marketmen, women clubs, charity and philanthropic organizations, clergymen, physicians, members of the School Board, the teachers and children of the public schools and leaders among negro organizations. Mayor Outline Plana. Mayor Preston, in opening the meet ing, declared that the campaign was to proceed without delay and that the citi zens generally would be called upon, to lend assistance from time to time.

He appealed to the audience to enter the campaign in a cheerful, co-operative spirit and to meet the workers wnen the ODOortunitv offered with a determi nation to make Baltimore the ideal city from a standpoint of cleanliness and health. Besides Mavor Preston, other speak ers were Dr. Leweliys F. Barker, Health Commissioner John D. Blake, Assistant Health Commissioner William T.

Howard and City Bacteriologist It. TV. Stokes. As the audience passed into the thea tre there were four tall spotlessly clad white wines stationed at the door dispensing programs which outlined the plan and gave a few suggestions as to conduct of the campaign. The suggestions covered every point of the campaign, from the cleanliness of the individual, his home and his food, to the cleanliness of the city as well as the care of sick persons and the prevention of the spread of disease.

Mayor Preston said the campaign marked what he hoped would be the beginning of a movement that would make Baltimore stand out as the cleanest city in the country from all standpoints. "We have made in the last 10 or 15 years," he said, "some remarkable advances in government and in physical upbuilding that cost about $40,000,000, and while it is largely a material progress, its effect will reflect in the improvement of health and living conditions and the increase of happiness. Tells Of City's Health Agencies. "We are striving each year to give our citizens improved conditions, as is evidenced by the fact that the appropriation for the Health Department hag grown from $84,000 during the Haye3 administration to nearly $250,000 in 1916. Our Street Cleaning Department, due to the enlarging and opening of new streets, as well as to other activities, has grown to require an appropriation of $800,000.

as contrasted with $300,000 of a few years ago. The Board of Estimates has never cut $1 from Mr. Lar-kins' appropriation since I have been at the City Hall." Other questions brought out by Mr. Preston as important points in the campaign were the lessening of infant mortality through a closer inspection of foods; the cleaning up of alleys, and most important of all, the individual co-operation of the people. Dr.

Blake dwelt at length upon cooperation as being most imperative in a clean-city campaign. He urged housekeepers to welcome the visits of health wardens, inspectors and nurses as friends instead of regarding them in the light of invaders. Unless the people gave themselves to this campaign in a wholehearted way, Dr. Blake said, they could not hope for its success. The address of Dr.

Barker dealt with the subject from the standpoint of efficient organization, and he contrasted Baltimore with some of the cities of Germany and their marvelously clean streets. Dr. Barker tlrjares Co-Operation. "I would say that our task involves first," he explained "a highly organized city government characterized by honesty and efficiency, to which are given large powers, with great freedom to act in any way that will further the health, the well-being and the hoppiness of the citizens; secondly, the development among the people of a strong sentiment of love and regard for our city itself, a desire to serve it in every way, a willingness to bear taxes levied to improve it. and to submit to whatever control is necessary for the common interest." "I have been very much impressed with the suggestions for practical work included in the program.

If we succeed in accomplishing all of them we will have gone far. Public and private premises would become clean, bad odors, unsightly objects, smoke, flies, mosquitoes and rates would disappear. Housing conditions would be improved, sleeping porches multiply and every member of the community would be working hard to maintain these very desirable conditions." A call from the audience for suggestions by the Mayor brought TV. W.Cloud, president of the Advertising Club, to his feet with a motion that committees bo appointed from the various organizations. This was carried.

Mayor Preston will name the committees some time this week. POSED AS LAWYER; GOT $200 James Matters To Answer Clinrffe Of Miss I "file 31. TTensinsrer. James Mathers, formerly of this city, is under arrest in New York on the charge of obtaining $200 by means of false pretenses from Miss Effie M. Hens-inger, a stenographer, 1915 Bentalou street.

Mathers, it is claimed, obtained the money from Miss Hensinger by representing himself as a lawyer. A friend of Miss Hensinger was in trouble and she told the police she gave Mathers the $200 to represent the friend. She later learned that Mathers was not a member of the Baltimore bar and demanded the money she had given as a retainer. Mathers then left. He has been sought for three years.

Headquarters Detective Freeman today will probably go to New York to bring the prisoner here for trial. TO HOLD JOINT BANQUET All Departments Of University Of Maryland Will Be There. St. John's College, the schools of law, dentistry, medicine and pharmacy will unite with the Medical and General Alumni Associations of the University of Maryland in holding a banquet on May 31 at 7 P.

at the Emerson Hotel. Charles J. Bonaparte, Dr. Thomas Fell, president of St. John's College, and provost of the university, Rupert Blue and other distinguished alumni will speak.

Judge Walter I. Dawkins will be toastmaster. Over 300 graduates of this year will be the guests of their faculties and all alumni have been invited. This is the first time in the history of the university that a joint banquet will be held, and since the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Baltimore Medical College now have affiliated, the reunion will be one of unusual eiEi6caJice. COMMITTEE OF 100 GUESTS Ir.

Xlare Read Xamrl And Predicts Victory In Fall Enthnsi-ttrnm Shown At Banquet. J. Henry Baker, former Liquor License Commissioner, is to lead the Anti-Saloon League fight to make Baltimore "dry." He was elected chairman of the campaign committee last night at a get-together dinner given at the rooms of the City Club by the executive committee of the league to the new Committee of One Ilundred which has been formed for the purposes of the campaign, and his selection was the cause of much enthusiasm. George W. Corner, was elected vice-chairman, and a committee to work with these two and of which they will be chairman and vice-chairman ex officio was chosen as follows: Joshua levering, Dr.

J. M. T. Fin-J ney, John Daniels, Jonathan K. Taylor, Joseph A.

Buck, Elmore B. Jeffery, Lewis M. Bacon, and Henry S. Du-laney. The meeting was an enthusiastic one from beginning to end and every prediction of the success of the "dry" cause at the polls on November 7 next was the signal for applause that at times became exceedingly vociferous.

Will FlRht For Victory. George W. Corner, presided and told in a general way of what the league was going to do in the campaign. Every agency in the city that is opposed to the saloon and every individual in sympathy with the league's aims will, as far as possible, be lined up in the fight and the whole campaign will be laid out with as much system as that followed out in the Sunday evangelistic campaign. A marvelous interest was being shown already, he said, and a Young Men's Prohibition League had been formed and was at work under the di-reftion of the Anti-Saloon League.

The Ilev. Dr. Thomas It. Hare, superintendent of the league, began his speech with the reading of the roll of the committee of 100, about 70 members of which were present. But he said every man on the list had been accounted for, every man who was not present had explained why it was not possible for him to be present, and every one on the list had "enlisted for the war, accepted duty and pledged themselves to stick in the fight to drive liquor from Baltimore until, the fight was won." He was not unduly optimistic, but he was confident that Baltimore was going "dry." Dr.

Hare predicted that the counties now "wet" and the "wet" spots in the "dry" counties would all join Baltimore in the "dry" column next November. "Dry" AVa tellers At Polls. Charles It. Wood said that arrangements had been made to have a "dry" watcher at every ballot box in the city when the election is held and those men will see that the ballots are counted as cast. Dr.

Howard A. Kelly, Jonathan K. Taylor, Arthur E. Warner, of Loudoun county, Virginia, and Harry It. West all made brief speeches and then the committee that had been appointed to nominate a campaign chairman and committee to work with him made its report, naming Sir.

Baker and his associates. Mr. Baker, in accepting the post of command, said he wanted to emphasize the point that the "dry" fighters were not after the saloonkeeper, but were after the saloon. The time for the saloons to so. he said, was November 7 next.

The only, element of doubt in the campaign, he considered, was the number of conservatives who are opposed to change of any kind. The Committee Of lOO. The list of the new committee of 100 is as follows: II. A. Allers, Lewis M.

A zone" for autoists will be created in an ordinance that William F. Jacobs, of the Second ward, will offer in the First branch of the City Council tomorrow afternoon. Designed to prevent the running down of children going to and leaving school, it will limit the speed of automobiles and motor trucks to six miles an hour within two blocks of every schoolhouse in the city. The ordinance will require metal Bigns to be put up at the entrance of the zone, and drivers of machines will be directed under penalty of a fine to observe the "rule of safety." Councilman Jacobs said at the City Hall yesterday that he was led to pre- fare the ordinance by the killing recent-yof two or three children in the vicinity of public schools by automobiles driven at a high rate of speed. New York and other large cities have "school zones," and they are said to be effective.

Mr. Jacob's ordinance will be passed before the Council adjourns for the summer and is to take effect immediately. The Council will enter upon its second year at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. PRISONER STOPS TRIAL Blan Held On Serious Charge De-. manda Lawyer.

RESOLUTIONS GO TO CONGRESS Maryland Delegation Xotlfied Of Action Taken At Meeting Here Supporting President. Bohemian-Americans of this city, in a set of resolutions received yesterday by members of the Maryland delegation in Congress, denounced the recent effort by the German-Americans liprp hnpfcpd hv the Tndenpndent Citi- zens' Union; to tie the hands of the President in his diplomatic negotiations with Germany over the submarine question. The Bohemian-Americans, on the other hand, urged the Maryland delegation to uphold the President. The members of the Maryland del egation recently received 3,000 peti tions from German-Americans in which the Senators and Congressmen were virtually urged to interfere with the President's handling of the submarine negotiations with Germany.

These titions were a part of the country wide propaganda in which 185,000 telegrams were sent to members of the House and the Senate protesting atrainst war with Germany, and indi rectly urging Congress to take a stand against the President. The resolutions sent to the Maryland delegation by the Bohemian-Ameri cans follow "The Baltimore Branch of Bohemian National Alliance, representing 15,000 United States citizens of Bohemian de scent, after a 'thorough discussion, passed and adopted the following reso lution. cony to be mailed to you: "Our alliance protests against the un-American propaganda by the so called Independent Citizens' Union, 306 St. Paul street, Baltimore, which body tries to tie the hands of our President, thus working for the interest of a foreign (German) govern ment. "Our alliance also expresses, in the name of thousands of good citizens, un limited loyalty to our to the gov ernment of this great country, to our President in his present hard days of international difficulties, and sincerely hope the members of both houses of the United States Congress will do the same.

The resolutions were signed by Dr, J. J. Toula, treasurer; V. Miniberger, 1507-11 Ashland avenue, secretary, and Frank Elsnic, 827 North Milton avenue, president. GETS $80 TAKEN IN 1908 Woman Who Appropriated Miss Hunt's Pocketbook Is Converted And Returns Money.

Here is an antidote for that disgust with human nature which comes over you once in a while; here is a demonstration of the truth of the most positive arguments of all the inspirational optimists who take pen in hand to write about human nature: In January, 190S, Miss Elizabeth Hunt's pocketbook, containing $S0, was taken while she was a passenger on a car going from Baltimore to Ellicott City. Last Thursday, a little more than eight years "after the pocketbook was taken, it was returned to her at her home at Bridgewater, near Ellicott City. Miss Hunt last night gave the following account of her unusual experience: "Some days ago a gentleman came to see me, made some discreet inquiries and then told me that he had been commissioned to return the amount which had been taken from me eight years before. He said that one of two women who took my pocketbook had become a Christian, had been worrying about the matter and finally had concluded to find a way of sending the money back. The other woman had nothing to do with returning it.

When I first heard the, story I thought maybe it was Billy Sunday's influence which had moved the woman to make restitution, but the gentleman said that she had been trying for six years to act. "When I lost the pocketbook I reported it and the matter was in the papers the next day. I presume the woman saw the account and remembered my name." "Have you an idea who the woman she was asked. "Not the slightest, and I have not tried to learn her identity. I do not know the name of the gentleman who paid me the money for her.

I have a faint recollection of the two women who took the money, but I could not place either of them. U.hey were sitting near me on the car when I dropped my pocketbook. A gentleman behind me saw the pocketbook on the floor and picked it up and handed it to one ol them, thinking it was hers. She took it and, with, her companion, left the car at once. They went into a house near, the car line." CUTS THROAT; FALLS 3 FLOORS John Bahlman Sits In Window To Commit Suicide.

Jackins, 45 yearso Id, general manager of the Home Amusement Company at Sparrows Point and confidential adviser to the corporation that owned the establishment, was arrested last night at the home of his sister on Eversham avenue, Govans, on a warrant charging him with the larceny of $1,000 of the company's funds. To Round Sergeants Carey and Hood and Sergeant Stein, of the Central district, Jackins is said to have declared that he misappropriated the money in an attempt to save his brother from financial ruin.

Snyder, president of the Home Amusement Corporation, is said to have been authorized by the company's board of directors at a meeting several days ago.

WILL SEEK IVORY NUTS New Yorkers Equipping Schooner Here For South American Trade. CARGO BOUGHT IN THIS CITY Vessel To Sail Shortly For Colombia To Bring Back Material For Buttons.

There is now being fitted out at Rohde's shipyard at Canton a 250-ton converted schooner for a special trade with Colombia, South America. The success of this venture may mean much to the trade of Baltimore, according to those who are promoting it. It is but the beginning of an enterprise by the Colombia Products Company of New York to carry to Colombia goods from the United States and bring back Ivorv nuts, grown alone the water courses in that country and which are extensively used for making buttons. Henry B. Graves, of Rochester, N.

general manager of the company, has been in Baltimore for some time fitting out the vessel and superintending the purchase of the first cargo it will carry out. The schooner was bought from J. S. Beacham of this city, some weeks ago and was taken to the Rohde yards to be supplied with the needed engines and for other repairs. The engines are of 110-horse power and have been installed.

The boat is now nearly ready to sail. -May Sail Xext Week. Mr. Graves, who has been a guest at the Hotel Emerson while the repairs were being made, and who has also been visiting the jobbing houses of the city making purchases of his first supplies, said yesterday that he expected to have the ship ready to sail some time next week. He will obtain a crew in Baltimore and is also seeking a captain here, being especially desirous of securing one who has time knowledge of the South American waters that are to be visited.

The Colombia Products Company is capitalized at 3,000 shares of common stock and 500 shares of preferred. The company is not seeking to sell its stock, all of it having been taken by New York interests. Judge George S. Benton, of the Supreme Court of New York State, is president of the company: A. B.

Glover, of Rochester, vice-president, and Mr. Graves is secretary-treasurer and general manager. When the vessel reaches its destination it will be used for trading with the inhabitants along the Atrito river, which is prolific in the ivory nuts for which the merchandise carried from Baltimore will be exchanged. The company is said to have a standing order for 100,000 tons of these nuts, which are in demand by the button factories at Rochester and elsewhere in New York State. The interest to Baltimore is that the company hopes to do all of its buying here of the goods that will be exchanged with the residents of the South American country for the nuts.

By making the trips up the river it will be able to collect a cargo which will be transshipped at Colon or at some other point on the Isthmus of Panama for delivery either in New York or Baltimore. Prefers To Trade Here. Mr. Graves said he will prefer to trade with the Baltimore merchants, as he finds that he can do as well or better in this city than in other places where he has. made inquiries.

On the first outward trip he will carry hardware, groceries and dry goods, all of which have been bought here. He says this may only be the beginning of a bigger enterprise if the first venture proves successful. He feels that having fitted out the ship in Baltimore may be a good omen, as he has had such excellent luck here in finding the craft he wanted and in obtaining the needed supplies. The project, he says, may grow to proportions to enable the company to equip its own steamers, and, in that event.vhe will make Baltimore the port of entry in this country. Mr.

Graves will make the trip on the vessel. 3 HURT IN PANIC ON CAR Passengers Jomped WhenFeed Wire Bnrned Out.
