His Residence on Town Line.

Lowell, Mass.-Frank A. Malorey
cannot be legally assessed this year in
Chelmsford or Tyngsboro. That is the
decision given by counsel for both
towns. Mr.. Maloreys house is on the
town line of North Chelmsford and
Tyngsboro Chelmsford selectmen main-
tanned that his sleeping room was in
Tyngsboro and that he must be assess
ed in that town. Tyngsboro selectmen,
by advice Of Charles H. McIntire, their
counsel, refused to accept that decis-
ion.
Dennis ]. Murphy, counsel for Mr..
Malorey, said that he will make a for
NAL application to Chelmsford select
men to have Mr.. Malorey assessed for
a poll tax in that town. In the event
of refusal be will apply to the courts
for a mandamus to compel his assess
ment. Mr., Malorey has not changed
his residence for a dozen years. He
has been voter for years in Chelms-
ford and a delegate to Republican con-
ventions.

London, Eng.-The United Kingdom
has had one full day to digest Mr..
Birrells Irish bill, but not the small
est note of enthusiasm for the proposed
council has been heard in any quar-
ter.
The proposed measure is recognized
everywhere to be faint-hearted at
tempt to redeem campaign promises.
Mr.. Balfour's taunt of Mr.. Birrell, that
his heart was not in his work, seems to
have hit the mark.
Ireland appears to be even less
pleased than England. 1t is expected
that the proposed nationalist conven-
ton will indorse the plan with live
ly scoring of the government for not
giving a greater degree of home rule.
Irish legislation and the imperial
conference appear two stumbling blocks
which may eventually cause the down
fall Of the Campbell ll-Bannerman cab
met
Both parties are attempting to eX-
plot the visiting colonial premiers for
their own purposes. The opposition
has taken up the catchword THE
Great Refusal" for the governments
rejection of all preferential schemes
and the premiers promise to do some
strong talking in the way Of an appeal
to public sentiment before leaving
England.

LINER BALTIC STRANDED.
Big Steamer Gets Stuck Fast in the
Mud Off Sandy Hook.

New York.-The White Star steam.
ship Baltic, which left lrr pier at
the foot of West 18th street at S.15
p. m. Wednesday, went ashore during
a dense fog at about p. m. in the
Swash channel where it enters the
main ship channel.
Late at night the Baltic which is
crowded with passengers, including
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Miss
Margaret Carnegie, Henry H. Rogers
and Mrs Rogers, and the countess Of
Yarmouth, Harry X. Thaw's sister, was
still in the mud.
The first news Of the unpleasant
predicament of the big Baltic was re-
Ceived in the evening by John Lee,
second vice-president of the Intrrna-
tional mercantile marine company,
through a wireless message which
Capt. j. B. Ransom of the stranded
liner had sent. The message was
caught by the operator on board the
American liner New York lying at
the foot of Fulton street, North river
The Merritt & Chapman wrecking
people later confirmed the report that
the Baltic was aground, but at Hip
p. m. the Associated Press sent out a
report saying the White Star liner
representatives had heard by wireless
from the Baltic and had later sent out
statement that she was not ashore,
but had anchored because of the fog.
1t was expected that she would pro-
Ceed as soon as the weather cleared.
Mr.. Lee, on first reports, ordered
the Merritt & Chapman wrecking COM
pany to send a steamer to the BaltiC's
aid, and at $50 p. M the wrecking
steamer William e. Chapman left
Stapleton, Staten island for the strand
ed liner.
The Baltic sailed just in time to
catch high water at Sandy Hook, at
5.l5 p. m. She passed Sandy Hook
at $50 o'clock, feeling her way, unC' r
her pilots careful hand, down the main
channel, around the southwest spit
and along the south ledge of the main
channel to a point near where the
Swash channel, which is a diagonal
channel running from one leg to an.
other of the main ship channel, enters
it.
After Capt. Ransom had once en-
tered the main ship channel and round
ed the southwest spit he could not
have stopped without putting his ship
in danger of Icing hit by some other
cropping vessel in the heavy bed of va
por. At Sandy Hook the deep-voiced
siren of the Baltic could be heard
through the fog intoning hoarse warn
ings at brief intervals.
The Baltic, on account of the long
shoremens strike, which prevented
the loading of a full cargo, sailed
quite high and showed 28 or 20 feet
above water There is plenty of water
in the main ship channel, but within
the mouth Of the Swash channel the
depth is considerably less

quiet Restored in Frisco.

San Francisco, GAIA conference
was held in the mayors office We'd
nesday between Mayor Schmitz, Patrick
Calhoun president of the United Rail-
roads, and Richard Cornelius, presi-
dent of the car mems union.
The mayor proposed that the case be
submitted to a committee of so Citi-
zens to be appointed by him. Presi-
dent Calhoun did not accept the sug-
gestion but said he would see his
colleagues in reference to the matter
and give an answer later.
President Cornelius said that while
he had no objection to the appoint
ment of such a committee, he could
not agree to it acting as a board OF
arbitration.
The mayor on closing the discussion
committee regardless of the opinion Of
either Calhoun or Cornelius,
At $50 in the afternoon two cars
manned by strike breakers left the car
barn at Oak and Broderick streets, and
going west toward the Ocean beach.
The TWO cars finished their trips at 4.40
and were then run into the barn.
The trip was made without much
difficulty. At one point man in
buggy drew a pistol, but a dozen po-
licemen were after him before he had
time to shoot. The man dropped the
revolver and ran, but was soon cap
tured.
AT another place a carpenter working
on a building threw hatchet at one
of the cars. He was quickly arrest
ed.
A telephone lineman driving wagon
blocked the cars and tried to hit a
mounted policeman with pair of
heavy pliers He was dubbed into sub
mission and arrested.
The temper of the police was radi-
cally different from that Of the day
before. They showed disposition to
watch the cars and prevent union men
from throwing missiles. Each car was
manned by half dozen men, none of
whom was armed.
The second death as the result of
the riot occurred in the afternoon,
when John Buchanan, car shop EN-
ploye, died at the Emergency hospital.
He was shot through the abdomen. Two
others, Albert G. Palm, chauffeur,
and Nathan Leizer, aged 16, are not eX-
pected to live.
Asked as to the report that he had
threatened to arm the police with rifles
and order them to shoot strike-break
ers if the latter opened fire from the
cars, Chief of Police Dinan said:
81 did not exactly say that. l told
the attorneys of the company that if
the strike-breakers were going to shoot
down my men we had a few rifles at
headquarters ourselves, and we would
use them. This was after l heard of
the shooting of Detective Sergeant Bell
and Officer Sauers."
