BLUE LAW INTERPRETED
With Aviation Meet at Baltimore Yes
terday Afternoon.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. Z The Baltimore
aviation meet, interrupted by the storm
of Thursday, was resumed yesterday
afternoon before large crowd The
commissioners of Baltimore county,
within which the aviation field lies, de-
elared Saturday night that they would
not permit the resumption and the pos
sibility of police interference doubtless
reduced the attendance considerably.
However, the county police contented
themselves with arresting half score
of ticket sellers and other officials, who
We're taken before the neighboring jus
tiee of the peace and released under
small bail. The county commissioners
are said to have acted under a very old
blue law which, according to a prominent
attorney, would If strictly enforced,
prevent a salaried clergyman holding a
church service on Sunday.
The aviators had not made as good
progress IS was expected in repairing
the damage to their aeroplanes. So there
were no formal contests yesterday aft
ernoon. Hubert Latham made three ex-
hibition flights, one Of them being for
altitude in which he scored 2.l00 feet
j. Armstrong Drexel reached height of
$500 feet. Both flyers reported very
low temperature high above the earth.

McGETTRIcK REJECTED.
Former Vermont Man Not Satisfactory
tn Boston Commissioners.

Boston, Nov 7.--The civil service COM
mssoners Saturdy notified Mayor Fitz-
gerald that they had rejected his nom
nations Of Felix w. McGettrick of ward
- to be penal institutions commissioner
aud of Philip j. Sondheim of ward Il
to be a trustee in the children's insti-
tuition department, on the ground that
they We're not fitted by education, train

vious nominations by the mayor, name.
" Of Samuel II. Borofsky and Of Aaron

Mayor Fitzgerald, in commenting on
the rejection OF MeGettrick and Sond.
helm. said that the action Of the COM
missioners only shows the ineffieeiency
OF a system which permits three men
who are not residents Of Boston to pass
on matters OF vital interest to the city's
welfare.
Both McGettriek and .Sondheim," said
the mayor, "are lawyers, and in my
Judgment in every way qualified for the
positions for whicn named them. Mr..
McGettrick, in addition to the practice
before the courts which comes to the
average lawyer during the year, has had
a special training in the Office of the
district attorney. If he does not know

BOY SCOUTS MAY ORGANIZE.
Meeting Called for This Evening in the
Presbyterian Church

A meeting win be held in the Presby-
terian Sunday school room this evening
at 7 o'clock, to which all boys between
the ages of IA and rs, who are members
of the church or Sunday school, are in
vited. The business of the evening is to
organize a Boy Scout camp. This great
movement has world wide work with
bows and has the motto, "Semper Par
atus." Always Prepared Therefore a
scout is to be trusted; a scout is loyal;
scouts duty Is to be useful aud to help
others: scout is friend to all and a
brother to every other scout, no matter
to what social class he belongs And,
above all, a scout is the protector Of
girls and women at all times, and he
holds this a sacred duty. A scout is
courteous; scout il a friend to ami
mails, and there is still more that might
be said about this good movement.
r. J. Charles, a young man interested
in this work, will meet the boys and
talk to them, and see Just what can
be done with the boys in Barre. It is
far better 10 see them in an order of
this kind and see them obeying the law,
than TO have the boys of this city grow
up to be burden TO their fellowmen
and also to themselves. 1t is hoped that
a large number will be present to organ
ize this movement in Barre,

A Thousand Of Them In New
York Went Out To-day
ONE FIRMS DRIVERS SPLIT
That's the Development in New York's
Big Strike To-day--A Union Con-
ference Is Being Held This
Afternoon.

New York, Nov. I. Tire joint council
OF the unions Of the international broth
erhood of teamsters is in session to-day
endeayoring to force peace from the ex-
press companies or stop every wheel in
the city. One thousand drivers of taxi
cabs and half the wagon force of a large
firm failed to report this morning. Sam
uel Gompers, head Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, is directing the fight.
A serious situation is expected when
the strike affects the coal delivery yards.
President Tobin OF the international
teamsters was to-day pessimistic about
the chance for a settlement.
While Messrs. Gompers, Tobin and
Hoffman were conferring yesterday
many OF the thiry-fiye local unions Of
the city which are affiliated with the
strikers held meetings and went on rec
ord as favoring general strike in SYM
pathy with the men who are out. Some
Of these bodies are building material
drivers, the sand and excavation driv
ers, and local $40 Of the international
Brotherhood of Teamsters The latter
organization includes the mail drivers,
The -four and seed drivers, paper drivers,
the railway express drivers, the trans
fer drivers, the wholesale dry goods
drivers, the tatxicab drivers and the
export and import drivers.
President Tobn asserted yesterday
that general strike would call out
every driver or operator of wheeled ve-
hicles in the city, except motormen Of
the elevated railroad the trolleys and
the subway. The impression among the
leaders seemed to be that general
strike is all but assured.
Mr.. Gompers, VINO arrived from Wash
ington yesterday to attend the confer
ence, at its close said:
This strike is a peculiar one. II is
the first time in the history OF unionism
where the men have been willing to ar.
bitrate all questions, even including
recognition of their union.
Il hope no serious industrial disturb
anee will occur but if the express COM
psnies do not veer TO more enlightened
position, the situation will react against
them. ! hope the strike will have no
serious results"
Vice President Hoffman said the re-
fusal OF the companies to arbtrate in
all probability would result in a, gen
1al strike. As Mr. Hoffman was leay-
ing the conference he was seized with
sudden illness and fell unconscious.
II is believsd that the attack was due
to nervous exhaustion
