BIG FIRE IN BALTIMORE
ELEVATOR BURNS WITH $4,000
BUSHELS OF GRAIN.

BALTIMORE, Md, August S-The Balti
more and Ohio grain elevator, standing at
the corner of Henrietta and Howard streets
was burned today, together with its con-
tents.
The loss is estimated at S175 OOO of which
1925, 900 is On the building and $4,000 on
the grain. The railroad company carried
an insurance Of 100000 On the elevator.
The building contained $4,000 bushels of
grain chiefly corn, stored there for local
use.
Another fire which quickly assumed
threatening proportions broke out in sta
bles of the Baltimore Transfer Company,
corner Front and Low streets later in the
day.
The flames quickly communicated to the
chair mandatory of Hechinger Brothers
& Co, adjoining on Low street. The burn
ing structures are almost entirely surround
ed by two-story brick dwellings of old-fash-
toned construction.
The firemen eventually succeeded in con-
filming the flames to the two buildings
named. The losses aggregate $4,000, of
which $4,000 is the chair factory and
$40, 900 the transfer stable. Five horses
persisted in the latter building

Big Squadron Gathering at Glen
Cove

NEW YORK. August s.-Glen Cove's pic
turesque harbor will be the rendezvous to-
day for the great fleet of schooners sloops
yawls and steamers that are to take part in
the annual cruise of the New York Yacht
Club. The shippers and crews of all the
racing craft that will participate in the
five squadron runs have been busy for a
week or more putting them in shipshape
below and aloft, for there will be keener
competition than ever this year in all the
classes.
The commodore will order the squadron
first run of the cruise from Glen Cove to
Huntington harbor. The prizes for this run
are the cups offered by Rear Commodore
Frederick F. Bewster.
An early start Is to be made from Hunt
ington Saturday morning for the sixty four

spent at anchor in New London, and on
Monday morning the yachts will start on
their forty-mile run to Newport. On Tues
day morning they will make their run Of
thirtyseven miles to Vineyard Haven, re-
turning to Newport the next day. The race
for the Astor cups takes place Thursday,
August 10, and that for the Kings cup on
the following day. After the races for the
Dor, on August II, the squadron will dis
band.
An innovation that is welcomed by the
yachtsmen has been made for the cruise.
The press tug which will accompany the
fleet has been fitted with wireless ap-
paratus which will keep the yachtsmen In
touch with the doings in the outer world.

There Does Not Seem to Be Much

The meeting OF the democratic
state convention III Baltimore to-
day seemed to be marked more by
a lack OF unity and enthusiasm than
by anything else. The chances Of
Joseph ID. Baker for the guberna-
tOrial nomination seem TO be grow

City Collector Williams are gain

what a temporary adjournment of
the convention might do to either
OF them. The fate of two congress

nomination, and this consideration

Honduras Will Resume Constitutional
Government September IS.

Formal notice has been received from the
provisional government of Honduras that
September 10 next, the anniversary of the
political independence of Central America,
has been selected as the date upon which
Honduras will return to a constitutional
form of government, adopting the provis-
ions Of the constitution of 1894 An cleo
ton will take place in October following
for a permanent president, and it is under
stood that the leading candidates are Gen.
Davila, president Of the provisional govern
ment, and Dionisus Gutierrez. formerly a
member of the cabinet and long prominent
in the political affairs of Honduras
The decision to return to a permanent
form of government was undoubtedly the
result of the refusal of the State Depart
ment to recognize the present provisional
government of Honduras upon application
several weeks ago of Senior Ugarte, who
came to Washington for that purpose. The
departments reason was that recognition
of provisional governments of that kind
tended greatly TO stimulate efforts al revo-
luton in Central America.

PROPOSED PEACE CONGRESS
CENTRAL AMERICAN CONVEN-
TON SUGGESTED.
Discuss With Acting Sec
rotary Bacon Project for a Meet
ing in Washington.

Most of the representatives of the Cen
trail American republics who remain in
Washington or vicinity called upon Acting
Secretary Bacon at the State Department
today, it being diplomatic day, to talk in
dividually with him about the project for
general convention Of delegates from
their countries in Washington to endeavor
to reach an agreement likely to result in
permanent peace in that quarter Of the
world. With all parties willing to enter
upon such o conference. the difficulty ap-
pears to lie in the unwillingness of any
to take the initiative, on account of
personal pride. Each Of the middle re-
publics thinks that it has a grievance
against It's neighbor, and in the absence
or an apology, as condition precedent
to an international gathering, would have
the other party make the first advance.
The State Department here. supported
in principle by the Mexican government
is extremely DESTROYS of furthering this
conference, but is estopped from itself
formally proposing a meeting by fear
that its motives might be misunderstood
and it be suspected of selfish designs and
understandable intervention.
1t is understood that all of the ministers
are In constant communication with their
home governments on this subject. and one
of them today said there is reasonable
ground for hope that within very short
time, through an exchange of notes, or
perhaps an informal personal meeting be-
tween the ministers here. an agreement can
be reached Tor the convention of the dele
gates in Washington some time next winter
There have been other conventions be-
tween these countries looking to the preSer-
walton of the peace, but all were fatally
defective in lacking compulsory feature.
So that it has been suggested that if an
other treaty is drawn in Washington as
the outcome of the projected convention, 1t
shall clothe the United States and Mexico
with the positive duty of intervening in
the interests of peace in cases of disagree
ment that do not yield to treatment by the
ordinary methods of diplomacy.

cup of the United States circuit court,
while addressing the Traffic Club at the

verely criticised states for interfering with
federal authority in matters of interstate

"The federal courts" he said, will re-

control 1t, despite the frantic efforts which
are made in several parts of the country by
state authorities to deprive them Of the
right"
There is too much federal regulation
now" interrupted a prominent member of
the Traffic Club.
Judge Grosscup paused a moment and re-
plied
you are wrong, my friend. The fault, II
fault there is, is not with the amount of
federal regulation, but with the character
of some Of 1t in the past. You cannot have
too much federal regulation If it is wisely

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August S-Three
masked men late last night attempted to
rob the Merchants Bank at Stronssville,
a suburb. They were discovered as a re-
suit of the ringing of a burglar alarm after
they had gained access to the bank and
while they were attempting to drill hole

latter were wounded. All three. however,

bureau of soils Of the United States De-

revision of science of chemistry of soils,

Prof. Whitney claims the growth of
plants does not exhaust the SOIL This, ac-
cording to orthodox scientists of DR. Hill
CARDS school, is heresy. Dr. Hilgard for
mer dean and chief Of the United States
Agricultural Department station at Berke-
ley, said today:
This theory, which Prof. Whitney seems

consols selling at a new low level and
American stocks generally lower in London,
following the sharp declines here yesterday,
the opening of the New York stock market
today was attended with unusual interest.
The decline in consols is generally attrib-
uted to disturbed conditions in the money
market abroad, but it is not so easy to as
sign cause for the crumbling away Of
prices of securities in the American mar
ket. The sharp decline in quotations yes
terday was without explanation, further
than that 1t was due to heavy selling by
holders of railroad and other shares, who
did not care to retain their securities at this
time.
There was nothing to show whether their
desire to sell was because they were tired
Of waiting for an upward movement of
prices, because of the low supplies of
money. or because of depressed sentiment
in Wall street over the difficulties in which
many corporations find themselves with the

Market Was Nervous.
The market was generally in nervous
state, but the trading was not attended
with any unusual excitement. Today's de-
clines were attributed to sales by specuia-
tors who desire lower prices and holders
who did not have the funds to protect
their brokers against further losses.
The so-called Standard Oil and Prick

spectators for the decline used as their

The violence Of the collapse In prices
