Thirty-eight Hour Tour of United States By Clever
 English Newspaper Man
fspecial from United Press.)


 New York,Dec. 17.-Ffftting around comport with the American idea of a sane and conservative" Englishman, William Ragg Holt, special corres- pondent of the London Mail, is, to- day, completing the job of Doing" America in 3S hours. Holt arrived, early yesterday, on the Mauretania, took a flying trip to Washington, Philadelphia and Baltimore and will return to England aboard the same vessel, which sails at D. m. today. When it comes to doing a lot of things in a short time, the only man who can hold a candela brum to Holt. is Colonel Roosevelt. Already he has sent Lord Northcliffe, owner of the Mail, back a large number of pounds, in cable tolls, on the things nor said and the things that Vice. President Sherman did not say and there is another big batch of chat with Mayor Gaynor, tunnel builder, William McAdoo and others who figure prominently in the New York direc- tory, to cable, tonight.
 Consider his itinerary: Swung over the rail of the Mauretania by a rope under his armpits shortly after 3 o'clock Friday morning; taken by Speclal tug to Jersey C1ry, thence bV special train to Washington, arriving at the capital, at 8:05; interviews with Taft. Cannon and Sherman and a catch-as-catch-ca wrestling match with one of the Speakers black cigars. in which he came out second best; visits to both Houses of Con- gress; Smithsonian Institute, Wash ington Monument, War and Navy Building and elsewhere; taxica bbin3 through Philadelphia and Baltimore with 20 minutes for each place; thei, to New York in the gloamfng. Broad- way. the Tenderloin, the Grand Opera, interviews in their dressing rooms with Geraldine Farrar and Grandma Bernhardt, the swell feed- ing places, the East Side, Tom Shar- keys saloon, Minors Bowery theatre. Chop Suey Town, the Pennsylvania station and then four hours of sleep at his hotel.
 Today, at 6 o'clock the case was resumed. with a new set of guides, for those who piloted Holt, last night were sadly the worse for wear. Noth- ing seems to feaze Holt and the peo- pie of London will not have to await his arrival before reading his experi- ences in the Mail.

We are not afraid to do businesp with the city. This contract ieaveS everything in the hands of the city, About the only right Mir. Fischer has under it is to draw his money. Tn section he agrees absolutely to dd business in sanitary manner. But MT. Ross. counsel for MT. Fischer says: We are willing to stand by ths iron bound contract but we are moi willing to let outside individuals into the contract for fear that a crank or spiteful person would put us out ck business. There are only few peo- pie in the United States who under stand this business as well as Fisch e.. and l don't think anyone else in Cha business would want to sign such . contract
 "The. people have just as much protection under the contract with Article 16 out of it as with 1t written in. They can invoke the law with out 1t. Our objection to 1t is that 1t is dangling bait for anyone to grab at who might have the least spite against the company. be- lieve that this matter could be settled and any fair minded person by read- ing the contract can see that 1t is strong enough without writing fin that outsiders can close us up."

MANY WRECKS ON BAY STATE COAST
 BY FIERCE GALE
Especial from United Press !,

Boston Dec. 1.-The Erie Railroad tug Margaret, and the tug Cumber- land, of Baltimore, of the Consolida- tion Coal Company, today. searched the dangerous stretch of sea off Cape Cod. for traces of the three barges were aboard. It was feared, how ever. that the men were drowned, as seamen declared the waterlogged barges could not have lived an hour in the terrific gale blowing when the tow lines parted.
 Though dim nishing and the cold moderat ting slightly, narrowing tales of the fights put up by sailors against the terrific gale and intense cold of the last two days, continued to reach Boston. Vessels that arrived gave mute evidence of the severity of the cold and the wind. They were caked with ice from high in the rigg ng to declared that seldom in their experi- ence had they gone through such hardshipS The crews of several of the wrecked schooners had to be chopped from the iced rigging with axes.
 The crews of the five schooners, that were overwhelmed by the gale. were saved by life savers or pass ng vessels, though all had suffered in- tenseiy from enclosure. Res des the three barges lost with their crews, a fourth sank just as the tug rescued the crew.
 The tug Margaret had in tow barges Scranton. Binghampton and May Wood. en route from New York to Boston. Off Pollock Rip Slue the hawser parted, the Scranton and Binghampton were lost in the thick ness of the sea and the May Wood sank just after Captain West and his three men were rescued by the Mar garet.
 The Cumberland had three barges in tow when the hawser parted off Highland Light. Cape Cod. The Cum berland recovered one. another anch- ored off Nausett and it was thought the other has been lost with her crew of three.
 It is possible the tale of wrecks has not been completed and life sav- CTS and the revenue cutter service rema med on the alert to render as- sistance.
 The list of the other wrecks report ed includes: schooners Abbie G. Cole and s. A. Fownes, wrecked on Stone Piers Shoal; crew rescued by revenue cutter Gresham; schooner N. E. Aver, derelict: crew rescued and wreck in tow of Gresham; Schooner V. G. Loud, waterlogged off Highland Light; crew rescued by steamer A. w Perry; schooner Thomas E.

PETERSON MUST SPEND SUNDAY
 IN COUNTY JAIL

Louis Peterson, the motorman held for manslaughter for the death of Mrs. Jessica Saunders, resigned him. self this afternoon to the prospect of spending the Sabbath within the grim walls of the county jail. His plans for securing bail have not been car ried out as quickly as he and his counsel Giddings, Hughes & Green baum expected. Stuyvesant Peabody, the Yale senior, has quit New Ha- ven, not it is stated because the faculty demanded it, but because his father preferred the young man to return with him to Chicago and spend some months there. before returning to resume his studies in the senior class of next year.
 Peabody did not take the midyear the shock of the accident had af- fected him so greatly that he had not been able to prepare himself for the tests. Yesterday afternoon youn 5 Peabody and his father, Francis B. Peabody, Yale, 'S1. left New Haven directly to Chicago.
 Benjamin C. Thompson, Peabody s student companion in the auto crash is still at the Elm City sanitariuln, under treatment for the injuries he received. Yesterday another broken bone in his arm was discovered and set by his surgeon.
 Announcement has been made by the officials of Yale University that no official action will be taken with regard to either Peabody or Thomp- son until after the holidays.
 Pc -erson's friends in the trolleymen's s union who have retained counsel for him. will wait few days for Peter sons relatives to act. and if they fail to furnish the necessary bail for his release, they will take action on a rlan towards securing the $1.500 through the union. by popular sub scrip ion or otherwise.
 At the office of the Connecticut CO. this morning it was stated that the company is considering the furnishing of $1.50o bond for the release of Mo- torman Peterson.

BUCKINGHAM SAYS
 FISCHER MUST TAKE LEAVE CONTRACT

Brooks Protes

The consultation between Mayor E. T. Buckingham, the Board of Health and the City Attorney took place in the office of the latter this morning.
 The subject in discussion was the proposed garbage contract with Charles s. Fischer. After some coii- sideration of the arguments advanced by MT. Fischer's counsel, in favor of modifying Paragraph 16, the mayor announced that he was opposed to any change whatever that would les- sen the protective value of the para graph, and declared that Mr. Fischer and his financial packers might either take the contract as it stands. CT leave it. The Board of Health will undoubtedly support Mayor Bucking- ham In the attitude he has taken.
 It is now up to MT. Fischer to go ahead with his contract or abandon it.
 Relative to the garbage reduction contract F.. s. Brooks, associated with Charles c. Fischer of York, Penn said today: MT. Fischer has got a system whereby he takes care of all offensive odors. That is the secret of handling garbage. The stench never goes out into the air.

SEASIDE CLUB DUES ARE NOT
 TO BE RAISED

The dues of the Seaside Club will not be raised. The proposition to raise them which was voted upon at a special mee ing in the club Thurs day night. was lost. and the members to that effect through the mail to- day.
 At the special meeting of the club Thursday night the proposition to raise the dues was apparently passed by a vote of 56 to 54. The meeting adjourned with this understanding. but af .erward it was discovered that a constitutional amendment. such as a change in the dues of the club. re- quires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the members at the meeting at which the uues jon Is ballotted upon. and ac- cordingly the motion to raise the dues was lost.
 President George F. Hill ofs the club instructed Secretary Sidney N. Lock wood to this effect. and the later pre- pared circular letters. which were sent through the mail to the members to- day.
 This decision does not affect the voce to assess the members individually who attend the Seaside ball. for this motion was not a constitutional amendment and is therefore perfectly legal.
 Apparently this ends for the time being at least the movement to raise the dues of the Seaside Club from $25 per year. as at present. to $32 year as proposed. The membership of the club is fairly evenly divided In sen l. ment. as shown by the very close vote 56 to 54 in favor of the increase.
 The annual ball of the club tn s sea- son will probably be one of the best in the history of the organization. It will be given in the club house in Sta,e street. thus preserving the dis tinctive atmosphere of the club ball Last year the reception and dance took rlace at the ball room of the Strat- field, and while the arrangements were impeccahle. he members thought that the affair lost much of it's exclusive Seaside Club atmosphere through be- ing held in an outside bal, soom.
