BALTIMORE WANTS
KAISBR'S SHIPS
Would Have Them Invade the
Patapsco During the Demo
cratic Convention.

In view of the fact that a squadron Of
American war ships will invade the Pa
tapsco River next June. it is believed
that Kaiser Wilhelm will order the Ger
man squadron to pay a visit to the
American ships anchored at Baltimore
during the Democratic national conven-
ton, in which case it is more than likely
that the officers and men OF the Emper-
or's ships will also pay a visit TO Wash
ington.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German Am
bassador, has received a letter from the
mayor of Baltimore. in which the rep
resentative of the German Emperor is
asked to use his influence to have the
feet visit Baltimore during convention
week. The mayor writes:
Il write to ask IL you will use your
good offices and assist us to bring about
a rendezvous of the German war ships at
Baltimore during the week of June .?
AT that time we hold our national con-
vention in Baltimore. and It may be Of
interest to the officers and men of the
German navy to visit the field OF the ma
tional convention and to be acquainted
with this phase Of perhaps the only SINH
lar programme which may be witnessed
in the world.
AT the same time it will give an op-
portunity to our people. a very large
percentage of whom are German, to wit
ness the feet from the Fatherland.
I'VE will give the officers and men a
hearty welcome and hope to have the
pleasure Of seeing you and them during
the week of the meeting Of the national
convention.
I'VE will have some battle ships of our
own navy here at that time, l am in
formed by the Secretary OF the Navy,
and it will be an excellent opportunity to
exchange fraternal salutations between
the two fleets"
The German Ambassador will notify the
mayor of Baltimore as soon as he hears
from his government.
The mayor also addressed letter to
Carl A. Luederitz. the German consul at
Baltimore, invoking his aid in the mat
ter. Mr.. Luederitz is well known among
the Germans of this city.

PUBLIC PARK DESIRED.
Heights Citizens to Hold
Meeting Tonight.

A general mass meeting of residents of
Columbia Heights is called for tonight in
the Washington Heights Presbyterian
Church, to discuss the proposition OF ac-
quiring the Truesdell property on Co
lumbia road for use as i public park. A
special invitation is extended to the wom-
an residents OF Columbia Heights to he
present and take an active part in the
discussion.
The proposition to acquire the Truesden
property for park purposes is not a new
one, as II has been under consideration
for several years. The ground is regard
ed as ideally located for a park. and the
magnificent forest trees with which II is
covered make II especially desirable.
The fact that Columbia Heights has no
park OF any sort and that the Truesdell
property is so located as to be readily
accessible from any part OF the heights
are offered by those directly interested
as an additional reason why the property
should be acquired for park purposes.
Another reason is that II is the onfy
large plot Of land with mature forest trees
that could be had for use as a park In
that section of the city.

$2O,OOO,OOO BANK
FOR ARGENTINA
American Manufacturers Export
Association Gives Details of
New Corporation.

As a result Of negotiations for more
than two years, it is announced through
the medium of the American Manufac-
turers' Export Association that there has
been organized by twenty-five leading
capitalists, ranch owners, &c, of Buenos
Ayres, Argentina, an international bank
ing company to conduct a general bank
ing and foreign trade business between
this country and South America, with
special reference to the Argentine.
The new Argentine banking company
has already secured an approved char
ter which will have extensive powers Of
operation and is a joint stock company,
Incorporated with the legal domicile in
Buenos Ayres. Argentina, and an Ameri-
can branch which will subsequently be
opened in New York.
Inasmuch as one of the main objects
sought 10 be accomplished Is the promo
tion of more intimate trade relations
with the United States, the charter pro-
vides for banking and exchange transac-
tions OF all kinds. and is further very
broad in its scope and working powers
on the commercial side The capital stock
and shares Of the company are fixed at
so. 10000 gold. There has already been
subscribed and guaranteed on call in Ar
gentina good PERCENTAGE OF the pre-
ferred shares dependent upon a further
SUBSCRIPTION in the United States.
The new company is known as the
North and South American Banking and
Commercial Company, Limited, and its
incorporators in the Argentine are twen-
ty-ive in number, all residing in that
country.
There is provision made for sharehoId-
ers in the United States whereby they
avail themselves Of the privilege pro-
vided for in article 35S Of the Argentine
commercial code, and they shall meet
and elect a foreign committee OF three
or more members. one TO be the president
and another the secretary.
1t is announced that the financing of
the new banking corporation in the United
States is under consideration by the most
reputable banking circles in this coun-
try. The American Manufacturers Ex-
port Association has received a confiden-
tial report on the whole project from the
State Department.

"PENNSY'S" RELIEF FUND.
Nearly S2,5OO,OOO in Benefits Dis
trIbuted During 1911.

Nearly S2,500O00 in benefits were dis
tributed during the year 1911 to members
Of the relief funds of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system, according to a report
issued by the company. This brings the
total distribution since the establishment
of the funds, some twenty-six years ago,
up to $50, ,0OS sO4.S9
Some idea of the extent of the work
of these departments can be had from
the fact that on the lines east of Pitts
burg and Erie during the month of De-
cember payments to the amount of
SI39, ,127.73 were made. In benefits to the
families of members who died S54, ,S9S. q
was paid, while to members incapaci-
tated for work the benefits amounted to
sS4, ,2295l. The total payments on the
lines east of Pittsburg since the relief
fund was established, in 1856, have
amounted to SO, 30, ,g59.E.
On the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg the relief fund paid out a total
Of $50, SO5.I6 during the month Of Decem-
her, of which S2S,066.71 was for the fam
lilies of members who died and SIS, 2SS. IS
for members unable to work. The sum
Of s,S25 965.S2 represents the total pay
ments on the lines west since the fund
vas established, in 1883.

MILITANT TACTICS
| NEEDED, HE SAYS
Georgia Lawyer Declares Song and
Prayer Will Not Win Fight
Against Demon Rum.

'.sonx and prayer will not be the
weapon with which temperance forces
will fight demon rum in the future. but
militant tactics viii be adopted, unless
the government calls or its Infamous
pact with the distillery trusts and brew
cry combine to divide the profits and
permit them 70 debauch the youth OF the
nation"
This statement was made by Seaborn
Wright, a Georgia lawyer and former
member of the State legislature, before
an audience which crowded the Columbia
Theater yesterday afternoon. the mass
meeting being held under the auspices
OF the w. C. T. u. Mrs. T. s. Shelton.
of the local branch, presided, and Rev.
DR.. James S. Montgomery, pastor OF
Metropolitan NJ. Z. Church. offered
prayer.
Mr.. Wright told his audience that he
had no III will against the victims Of the
drink habit, but that he would use every
effort TO break up the system, sanctioned
by law, which permits the liquor inter-
ests to wreck the homes Of millions Of
men ana women and make physical and
mental wrecks of young men and ruin
millions OF young women. He denounced
the policy OF the government which per-
mits this practice provided certain taxes
are Forthcoming.
"The great trouble with the liquor
question is that It is national in scope"
said Mr.. Wright. 1T would not take
fifteen minutes to abolish it II 1t were
only sectional Men are mistaken when
they think that the bulwark OF the liquor
trade is the appetite Of the consumers.
II is very easy 10 control drinking men.
The trouble in dealing with the liquor
question is the avarice of the men who
manufacture the stun and the avarice Of
those who sell Il, and the cold-blooded
avarice OF our government. which di-
vides the profits with the liquor and beer
combines. Behind every virtue destroy
ing vice turks the lust of money, licensed
by the government"

of February p in commemoration of
Washington's birthday. A departure
from the usual entertainment will make
this one unique in its rendition. Rev.
George NJ Cummings, pastor of the Gar
den Memorial Presbyterian Church, has
been invited to deliver the address.
Residents of Good Hope and East
Washington Heights are doubtful as to
the probability of water being extended
to that section by an appropriation OF
Congress at this session. Up to the
present time they have been unable TO
obtain the Endorsement of the Commits
sioners for this extension. The need OF
such service becomes more apparent each
day, however, as the present means are
insufficient to adequately supply the in
creasing demand. The water is supplied
from wells, and some OF these have
been condemned by the water depart
ment as being unsafe for use. The cIti-
zens' association has decided to continue
its fight for the service
The members of the Ladies' Benevolent
Society OF st. Teresa's Church rendered
reception Saturday. evening to Mrs.
Bryan Downey, who has been president
"a NAAS SDNASAs AOA past hlNGGH years,
and at the same time installed its new
officers for the coming year. Fellow
members spoke words of praise for the
good work that has been accomplished
under Mrs. Downey's leadership, and all
regretted the fact that she was not to
remain in her former position. The new
officers installed are Mrs. Upton &

1t was announced yesterday morning
in the Garden Memorial Presbyterian
Church that special services will be held
during the present week, and a number
of Washington clergymen have been Sc
cured to assist in the services Rev.
George NJ. Cummings will be In charge.
To assist in the work being carried on
by the Episcopal Home for Children In
Anacostia, an entertainment is to be
held Thursday evening In the parish hall
of Immanuel Church under the auspices
Of the united churches of Anacostia.
Much interest is being manifested in
the meeting of the Public Improvement
Association Of Congress Heights to be
held tomorrow evening. II is expected
that at this time something definite will
be reported concerning the establishment
of a branch Carnegie library in that

Why WALLSTREET
WAS PERTURBED
Latest Onslaught ON U. P. and Steel
Common-Bryan and the
Money Trust"

New York. Feb. 4-There are, OF
those who are in any way attentive OBJ
servers of financial conditions and fiuctu-
atoms in market prices-who were under
any Illusions that the furious selling Of
two particular stocks that took place in
the security market last week repre-
scented q liquidation OF holdings thereof
by genuine Investors. even II the decline
was undoubtedly sufficient to cause the
execution of considerable number of
stop loss orders by spectators for the
rise What occurred was only another
violent onslaught against the Union Pa
cijc and United States Steel common
shares Of the same sort exactly. and
carried on by the same people who were
so actively engaged last summer in an
attempt to wreck values and who were
only successful IN creating tremen-
dously oversold market.
street Was PessImistIc..
It must be confessed that the recent
attack was successful to a certain ex-
tent; that is to say, it did get profess
sionaI Wall street into a pessimistic
state of mind The atmosphere down
town was for a time in the middle of
last week wholly reminiscent Of that OF
last September. when pretty nearly every
trader in the market and good share OF
the general public became imbued with
the idea that a sure and rapid road to
wealth for any man was to be Short"
OF stocks. ...--
For eight months back there has been
a process of continuous public demon
stration of the inability OF the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad Com
pany to continue to pay its old per
cent dividend aron S125,OOo,0O0 additional
stock issued in boom times to build an
extension through new territory to the
Pacific Coast.
The Cold Facts.
Now, there is no denying that from
speculative point OF view the situation
is not as good" as It was, say, six
weeks ago. but that is no reason why
the situation should be made any worse
than It is. Every one IN his senses
knows that the case OF the St Paul
Railroad that has been referred to is
absolutely unrelated to that OF any other
railway in the country. The Union Pa
cific Railroad Company has had a strike
on its hands that has cost the road di-
rectly and indirectly about 1900. 0oo, and
the company must undoubtedly spend
more money in the future than II has in
the past in keeping up its lines; but the
financial strength OF the property Is such
that the coming year will have to be one
Of unprecedented financial depression to
imperil the continuance of the current
dividend upon its common stock. 1t is
true that the Western railroads continue
to report decreases in earnings, but this
is not true. generally speaking. of the
railroads OF the Northwest and OF the
East and South. as witness last weeks
excellent reports Of the Northern Pacific
and Pennsylvania, the Reading, the New
Haven, and the New York Central
