SEEKING THE LIGHT
London Provision Dealer Discovers That American Packer Is SuppIy-
 ing British Soldiers
ADMITTED BY WAR SECRETARY

London, June. June 20.-William Feild, member of parliament for the St Patrick's division of Dublin and champion of the British meat dealers, who has been so actively questioning the ministers for the past week, in reply to further question in the house to-day elicited the information from War Secretary Haidane that 'an American firm long established in London meat market" holds con tracts to supply meat to three mili- tary stations in the United Kingdom. These contracts do not include the supply of canned provisions. but oc- caslonally preserved meat is issued from the army reserve stores in or der to insure turn over of the stock. The proportion of frozen mutton is not allowed to exceed two sevenths of the mutton supplied to the troops.
 The interest of Mir Field in the, meat question is undoubtedly due to the fact that he is in the provision business, is president of the Irish cattle traders and stock owners as- sociation. vice president of the na- tional federation of meat traders of the United Kingdom, honorary secre- tary of the Dublin victuallers asso- ciation and governor of the Royal Irish Veterinary college.

DEATH STRUGGLE IN NEW YORK TUNNEl Two Men Lost Their Lives and SeYoIal Were Hut By the Rush
 of Air
BLOWN INTO THE RIVER
Last Man Stood Neck Deep in Water When He Struggled
 to Safety.

New York, June 20.-Two mon
 lost their lives, another was fatally injured and six more severely hurt as result of an accident in the Pennsylvania tunnel between Thirty-s fourth street and Long Island city: to-day. Twenty-four of the thirty five men who were at work in the tunnel at the time of the accident escaped without serious injury after having faced death by drowning.
 The accident was caused by the tremendous air pressure necessary at, the head of the tunnel to hold back the soft mud into which the shield is forced. The mud under this shield was blown out and two of the workmen who were caught in the flow of air were swept to death In the river. When the heading was emptied of air, water rushed in through the opening and threatened to drown the survivors. In the ter-s rife struggle which followed between the workmen to escape from the chamber through the little door which connects with the finished part of the tunnel, several of them were severely hurt. Finally, however, the cooler heads among the men pre- vailed and all of the survivors found safety in the completed tunnel. So rapidly did the water flow into the unfinished compartment that before the last mans turn came to pass , through the little door he was stand ing neck deep in the water. sf

MAINE DEMOCRATS MEET.
Convention for Nomination of All
 State Officers.

Bangor. Me. June 20.-The demo- crats of Maine gathered in this city to-day to hold their biennial state convention for the nomination of candidates for governor and other state officers. It was expected that the only name to be presented for governor would be that of Cyrus w. Davis of Waterville, the partys nom- inee two years ago. The principal issue in the coming state campaign, will be the question of submitting to vote of the people the question of repeating the constitutional provis- ion for the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors. It was antici- pated that to-day's convention would adopt resolutions strongly favoring such re-submission.
 Much time was given last night and to-day to the drafting of the platform and the work had rot been completed early this forenoon. The draft contained a half dozen state issues, including the initiative and referendum. equalization of taxation, state aid for the extension of good roads, the election of United States senator by the people, local self gov ernment by commission, besides re- submission of the liquor law.

LITTLE GIRL RUN DOWN.
Kathleen Keane Received Serious In-
 iuries This MorninS.

Kathleen Keane, daughter of Mir and Mrs William Keane of River street, narrowly escaped fatal injur- les this morning on Baldwin street while on her way to the Washington school. The girl was hurrying along and had reached point opposite the driveway leading to the rectory of St Francis Xavier parish where she was knocked down and driven over by grocer's team en foute for Fath- CT Curtin's. The driver didn't mo- tice the child until it was too late to prevent an accident, and when the child was picked up it was thought that her injuries were quite serious, but later it developed that while her hip was disiocated and she was also bruised about the body, none of the wounds were necessarily dan- gerous, although it will be some time before she will be able to be out. Dr Dwyer and Dr Donahue were call ed and the dislocated hip joint was replaced, but the operation was so painful it was deemed advisable to put the patient under the influence of ether. The driver of the team hus- tied around and did all he could to see that the injured girl was cared for. There is nothing very dangerous about the spot where the thing oc- cured, so that perhaps the trouble was brought about by the fact that the child thought she would have time to get ahead of the seam. and perhaps the driver didn't see her at all until she was knock down.

HELP FOR CALIFORNIA.
Bounteous National League to Give
 $500 to Coast Base Ball.

Bounteous National League to Give
 $500 to Coast Base Ball.
 New York. June 20.-The question of doing something to assist the Cali fornia base ball league. the members of which suffered considerable loss as a consequence of the earthquake. was one of the subjects considered at the special meeting of National league of base ball clubs which began here yesterday. It was voted to give $500 to the California league. The meeting was called as a result of a resolution adopted at the spring meeting last year to bring the man agers and team owners together in the middle of the playing season to discuss any live business which may have developed since the spring meet ing.
 A new rule to govern batting and field practice before the beginning of play was adopted by the meeting. The rule is designed to stop indis- criminate and dangerous batting in front of the grand stand. It provides that the hour prior to the time adyer- tised for the commencement of the game shall be divided by the contest ing teams. the first twenty minutes to the home team for batting prac- tice. the second twenty minutes to the visiting team for batting prac- tice, the next ten minutes to the home team for fielding prafcice and the final ten minutes to the visitors fof fielding practice. It provides also that all batting practice must be con fined strictly to the diamond. The rule becomes effective June 25.

DOCTORS IN CLASH
Two Thousand Chicago Physicians Divided on Contract Practice In
 Their Profession
THE FINAL STRUGGLE TONIGHT

Chicago, June 2O.-Two thousand physicians, all members of the Chi cago Medical society, will to-day de- termine whether contract practice is professional or whether the hun dreds of practitioners who dispose of their services by the month are be- yond the pale of the organization
 Men prominent in the profession claim the fight that has developed has divided the members of the so- ciety into two classes, those who have established regulations, who are able to secure whatever fees they name, and those who are opposed to the sys- tenn of contract practice and those who have been practicing but short time and who claim they are com pelled to sell their service by the month in order to secure livelihood.
 The referendum of to-day will finally dispose of the question, which has long served as thorn in the side of the society, and the majority of the physicians interviewed yesterday were of the opinion that the advo- cates of a contract practice would have large majority when the votes were counted tonight.
 Should their opponents win, how ever, another fight will likely follow, for those who gain their livelihood by the. contract plan intimated they would insist that every physician in the society dispose of his service at the price fixed by the organization. This would result in all physicians charging one price, as much for the poor as the rich, something that has not been done by the prominent phy- sicians in Chicago for many years.

WILL RESORT TO LAW.
P. H. Carroll Wants Money Owed
 Him bv City.

P. H. Carroll has grown weary waiting for the city to pay the bal ance of his account due for service rendered while he had the contract for the collection and disposal of gar- bage and has decided to try his luck in the courts With this end in view papers were made out yesterday af- ternoon by Attorney Russell sum- moning the city to come forward and show why 1t has withheld the plain tins money. The amount which Mir Carroll claims is s1.600. City prop erty valued at s2.0o0 has been as- sessed. This is a long sory and all that is necessary to say about it at this time is that when Mir Carroll got through the department of health withheld one months salary, about s1,400, evidently taking the ground that such repairs as were needed on the plant should be deducted from this bill. Mir Carroll doesn't look at things that way and now 1t Is likely to be passed upon by the courts.

BABY WAS LOST.
She Made It Lively for Officers Until
 Father Claimed Her.

Martha, the years and 6 months old daughter of Andrew Harmoniski of Naugatuck. strayed away from her father in Brooklyn to-day and found her way into the center, where she was picked up by young man just in time to save her from being tram pied upon by horse. The child was taken to the police station, where she made things. lively for Officer Lynch until her father came around. Terry gave her an orange and tried all the tricks he could think of how to pull talk out of the tot. but all to no avail. She tugged at the door knob. yelled for her papa, and if "the old man" hadn't put in an ap- pearance at the time he did it would be hard to tell what would have hap pened. because Officer Lynch and his assistant, Michael Sullivan. were about to ask to be relieved from fur ther care of the baby.
