A passenger who is forced 10 pass
this place to and from work daily. this

Some measure should be taken to
stop this practice before someone is
seriously if not fatally injured. The

should be placed there and an example
made of some of the gang. People are

local society did not win prize at the
National Saengerfest, held i'm Balti-

second class contest, and four organi-
cations took part.
1t was confidently expected that the
Saengerbund would at least win the
second prize. The first prize was car
ried off by the Alemania, Of Philadel-
phia, and the second by the AriOn, Of
Jersey City.
The Pittsburg Society and the local
club were the two left, and strange as
II may seem, both these organizations
were picked for the winners.
The much talked of Kaiser prize, Of
fered by the Emperor of Germany, was

have been made for the reception of the
singers upon their return today, and a
