bers of the Mayfair Methodist Epis-
copal Church. He uttered a scatching
criticism of the methods adopted by his
former co-workers
seeded from the Mayfair Methodist
Episcopal Church, in opposition to
which he has erected a new church,
called the Primitive Chapel" within
a stones throw Of the building in which
he formerly worshiped. Beauty con-
tests, conundrum sociables and other
forms of amusement provided by the
Rev. c. e. Wilson for the younger mem
bers of his flock came in for a rebuke
by the wealthy churchman.
The members of Mayfair Church

clared. Instead of gathering to read
excerpts from the Holy Scriptures they
hold entertainments, where they ask
one another Why does a hen cross

SAN MATEO, Aug. 23.-The long-con-
tested and perplexing question OF site
for the Carnegie Library seems at last TO
be in fair way of solution The matter
has hung fire now for months. as none OK
the officials concerned in the affair have
been able to reach point OF agreement
The High School Board has taken meas
ures. however, which IT Is believed will
end the controversy and secure for the
city a suitable site and permit the con-
struction OF the building TO proceed with
out further delay.
Since no other available site has been
offered the High School Board has de-
cided to call an election Of the voters In
the school district to vote upon the ques-
ton of giving a part Of the High School
grounds for a library site The location
is admirable for such purpose, and 1t Is
expected that a majority OF the electors
will vote in favor of the proposition.

SHIPS REMOVAL

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 23-Agitation
| by several Dominion newspapers
threatens to precipitate an interna-
tional controversy over the proposed
raising and removal to Detroit of three
British war vessels which were sunk in
the river Thames in the famous land
and naval battle Of October 5, 1913.
The remains of these once stanch
war vessels are those of a part of the
British fleet that attempted to resist
Commodore Perry at Putin Bay. At
that time the whole northwestern
country, through the surrender of De-
troit by Hull, had fallen into British
hands.
After the crushing defeat inflicted
by Perry the shattered remnant Of the
British feet slipped into Detroit and
was hastily pressed into service by
General Proctor, who realized that
safety lay only in flight Four vessels
were hastily loaded with arms, ammu-
milton, stores, Government papers and
other plunder from Detroit and all
speed made to Lake st. Clair. The lit
tie feet took refuge on the Thames.
and in the battle which followed the
ships were sunk. Tecumseh, the great
Indian chief, who assisted the British,
lost his life, and Proctor escaping, la
ter committed suicide.
The vessels were forgotten until sew
eral years ago, when unusually low
water in the Thames revealed one of
them. A plan was originated to have
them recovered brought to Detroit and
presented to the city as memorials. No
action was taken. however. until sew
eral days ago, when Detroit explor-
ing party, headed by c. NJ. Burton and
Charles l. Clark quietly began opera
tions. So far the work of the explorers
and their divers has resulted in the
definite location of three vessels at
points one and half. two and six
miles upstream from Chatham. The
vessels are partly or wholly covered
with sand and earth. In the one most
exposed the hull was found to con-
tain boxes and barrels of cannon balls
and other stores. Further search is
expected to reveal chests of silver,
which records in possession of the ex-
plorers show were taken upon the
boats.

Thuringia, where prices are alleged to

There seems no doubt that the price
of meat has risen 40 per cent during the
last ten years and from 20 TO 80 per
cent within a year, but those who are
investigating the situation are divided
as to the causes-whether the increases
are attributable partly to the generally
increasing scale of living. not alto

sanitary barrier to the importation or

KNABENSHUE'S

SCARS AL0F I
New York Crowds Wit
ness Successful
Flight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23-Aeronaut Kna-
benshue under favorable weather condi-
tfons to-day made another flight in his
airship. 1t was highly successful in every
way.
Long before the hour advertised for his
ascension the vicinity of Columbus Circle
was crowded with men, women and chill
dren, and all New York streets were filled
with people craning their necks for a
glimpse of the flying machine. At 2
O'Clock Knabenshue gave the word to let
go, and with her nose pointed over Gen.
trail Park the airship arose at an angle
of nearly forty-five degrees, clearing the
tops of the trees by about ten feet. At a
height of 500 feet the craft hovered over
Central Park and described various
maneuvers, mounting, dipping and cir
cling about with all the ease and grace
of a swallow on the wing. AT F'orty-sec-
ond street its. altitude was 1900 feet. Fully
250.000 persons were viewing the airship
by the time it reached the region over
Thirty-fourth street.
AT Twenty-third street the machine had
drifted toward East River. so Knaben-
shue commenced to tack back in the face
of light breeze. When again over Cen
trail Park he released some gas and the
machine began to descend so rapidly that
the crowd was fearful an accident had
occurred, but when within 100 feet Of the
ground he slid to the stern of his car
riage, and witn bow tilted at a sharp
angle, so that the air currents struck it's
under side, the rapid descent of the air
ship was arrested. Being urged rapidly
forward by its propeller. it cleared a
clump of trees and settled gracefully in
a clear space of the park.
Knabenshue was wildly cheered and the
crowd carried hims and the machine back
to the tent at Sixty-first street and Gen.
trail Park West.
During his flight Knabenshue threw out
handfuls of checks for various amounts,
ranging from 81 to 500. There were wild
scrambles for the precious bits of paper,
and number of women and boys were
hurt, though none seriously.

! WOOSTER, Ohio, Aug. 23.-General c..
W. Miner, U. S. A. (retired), was on the
witness stand the greater part OF to-
day in the Taggart divorce hearing. Back
| and forth, between the two sides Miner
| went for cross-eXamination and re-exam-
! ination, sometimes making admissions
but generally standing firm When he
! left the stand both sides thought they
had gained points Strengthening their ev-
idence already produced.
| Sterling sharply questioned Miner in
regard to whether his first belief in Cap
tain Taggarts insanity did not come
after he found that Taggart had named
him as correspondent. Miner said that
while he thought that Taggart was not
| of sound mind all along he was sure he
wasn't when he read the amended Pc
tition.
"Why?' was asked.
Because he waited until all the wit
nesses were out of the country said the
| general
Didn't you agree with Mrs Taggart
to keep the captain imprisoned until she
could take the children and leave the
country
81 had an agreement with her, but not
exactly like that"
Attorney Sterling then took up a certi-
fled copy of the charges made by Cap
tain Taggart against General Miner now
on file in the War Department. The
charges were read, to the effect that at
dinner party at Fort Leavenworth Gen
era1 Miner demeaned himself with con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man by taking improper liberties with
Mrs. Taggart
On redirect examination Miner said that
he did not make out the muster roll of
Captain Taggart's company and was not
responsible for the record it contained of
Taggart's sickness at the time he was
confined in the hospital The roll was
signed by Taggart which would make it
appear that he had made out his own
record.
"At the meeting in your Office, general.
what did Taggart say about his wife con-
sorting with Fortescue2"
He said nothing to me-"
Taking up the efficiency report, the wit
ness said that he was not actuated by
malice toward Taggart when he omitted
the record of Taggart's meritorious SER
vice during the Kansas City flood and In
serted demerits which should not have
gone into the report.
Captain D. w. Ryther then took the
stand and testified that, at Fort Thomas,
he was we'll acquainted with Captain and

BUDAPEST, Aug. ga Ministerial
conference was held at Ischl, Upper
Austria, yesterday under the presidency
of the King Emperor, at which the
Hungarian political situation was un-

the newspapers here that the confer

chances for an understanding between
the Ministry of Premier Fejervary and
the coalition majority in the ungarian
Diet.
In the event of failure to reach an
agreement, Premier Fejervary will con-
tinue to direct the affairs of the king

Gus policy and will endeavor to break
down the passive opposition of the
recalcitrant municipal and other Hun
