clared he felt confident he would be no.
titled early this morning that the special
committee from Baltimore would be over
later in the day to confer with the repre-
sentatives of the local organizations.
Mr.. Cans did not attribute his delay
in hearing from the Baltimore organiza-
ton to any desire on the part OF the
Baltimore merchants to side-step the ten
tative agreement existing between the
merchants of the two cities to cooperate
IN the fight
MY failure to hear from the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
today does not make me believe there
is any truth in the rumor that the Balti-
more merchants may decide to wage the
fight alone. / am confident" said Mr..
Cans last night, that there has been
some unavoidable delay and that / will
hear from the association early tomor-
row morning. ! expect that joint con-
ference of the representatives of two
cities will take place here tomorrow.
Mr.. Cans stated that the Retail Mer-
chants Association will take no further
action in the matter until after 1t be-
comes definitely known what course the
baltimore merchants intend to follow.
1t is generally understood here that no
further action will be taken by either
city until after the Interstate Commerce
Commission has rendered a decision On
the application of the Baltimore organi-
zation for a SUSPENSION of the propose
new tariffs of the railroads.
Secretary Charles J. Columbus, Of the
Petal Merchants Association yesterday
declared that while the entire matter
was up in the air at present, pending
the decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission upon Raltimore's petition for
a SUSPENSION order, the wheels for a COM
prehensive fight could be set in motion
within an hours notice of the commits
sion's decision. He declared that while
no formal action had been taken. his
organization had been busy collecting
data on the question and formulating
plans for the fight.

SAENGERBUND in
need OF FUNDS
After Discussion, Subscrip-
ton List Is Started Among
the Members.
RESULT OF EXCISE LAW
Revenues Are Cut n Two, and Very
Existence Of Organization Is
Said 20 Be Threatened.

Having passed the sixty-third mile.
stone in its existence Of general esteem
and popularity and its career of cult
waiting and popularizing the best there
Is in music and song, the Washington
Saengerbund is confronted with the
question as to its future existence.
This condition has been brought about
by the passage of the Jones-Works ex-
else law, which has had the effect of
cutting down the revenues Of the bund
to such an extent as to render its very
existence almost impossible To prevent
the dissolution of the society, or at least
to bridge it over the present difficulties
until other means are found, a mass
meeting was called for last night at the
clubhouse, and a number OF suggestions
were made and resolutions adopted in
tended to secure to the bund not only
additional sources of revenue, but also
its existence.
Albert Lepper, president. presided. and
IN calling the meeting to order said that
for the first time in the sixty-three years
of its career the Saengerbund is con-
fronted with a question which strikes at
the very root OF its existence.
IF the law stands as it is" said Mr..
Lepper, cit will not only prevent us from
defraying our legitimate expenses. but
it will take away our Sunday evening
concerts and other social gatherings at
which our wives and children enjoyed
themselves with us. The law is on the
statute books, and as law-abiding citi-
zens we will live up to the very letter
Of it
SuEEestions Asked For.
Mr.. Lepper said that suggestions were
in order as to raising revenues. A sug-
gestion was made to appoint a commit
tee to get in touch with similar commit
tees from other clubs and to agree on a
course Of action for the purpose of insti-
tuting legal proceedings to t, t the con-
stitutionality Of the excise law. No ac-
ton was taken on the suggestion.
Hugo Schulze, comptroller OF the Saen-
gerbund household and a member of the
board Of governors, made a motion that
the members be invited to sub. cribe to a
guaranty fund to cover the deficit which
had ensued as a result of the operation Of
the excise law. The motion was discussed
by Messrs. Dietrich, Waldman. Brand
stedt, Schulteis, Bauman, Behrends,
Levy, and others and was adopted by a
large majority. A list was at once circu-
lated and members subscribed literally.
President Lepper will appoint a commit
tee o. five to take charge of TIE subscrip
ton lists and secure signers.
Herbert Levy, also a member Of the
board Of governors, moved that the pres
ent annual dues of s. for passive men,
bers be raised to SO. saying that the
Saengerbund offers its members greater
variety of privileges and entertainment
than any other similar organization. The
motion was unanimously adopted

Instantly killed 8 his father's home on
Wednesday aftsrnon with 22-calibsr
rife, which he was handling in an At
tempt to kill rats that from time to time
infested the place.
II appears he had previously killed
rats in tho loft of the barn and 1t
was nothing new to thus try extermi-
nate the rodents. This time, however,
he had the assistance OF his younger
sister, to hand him the rifle while he
climed up toward the roof. It was
while banding him the gun that it
prematArely exploded and the bullet
struck him in the back OF the head,
penetrating the brain and causing al
most instantaneous death.
The accident-tragedy occurred on the
beach front between Jackson House
and Sears avenue, at the extreme south
end OF Waveland.
The following is the already published
version of the accident and tells the
story correctly:
Joseph had q small rife, with which
he killed rats, and it was during one OF
these crusades against the rodents that
he lost his life. He had clim ed to the
loft of the barn, whsre the rats had
been particularly bothersome, and. un-

Monday was Red Letter Day In Bay
st. Louis. The order of the Maccabees,
Tent No. 67,celebrated Labor Day on a
scale of splendor, and which in future,
will become permanent annual insti-
tuition, just as the Woodmen formerly
celebrated the Fourth.
Mayor Pro Tempore Geo. G. Firsch-
ing rode at the head OF the procession
with becoming dignity as grand mar
shall of the day. His active aides were:
Messrs. Joseph F. Cazeneuve, Robt. w.
Webb, Charles Breath, Joseph O..
Mauffray, L. M. Power, James L. LIE
Febyre, r. j. Murtagh, Albert Johes.
THE PARADE.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the parade
formed at the Maccabee Hall, corner
Union and Second streets, as had been
previously announced, in the following
order: The Grand Marshal and aides,
mounted on horses; a decorated float
with the officers of the tent IN full re-
gala; a float showing the degree team
in full costume and paraphernalia; fol-
lowed by a picked brass band Of this
city, and splendid music it was; mem
bers of the tent, long line OF uniform :
ed men; automobiles with their precious
burdens of children, young ladies and
matrons. It was quite an imposing line
and worthy of the Pathe Weekly man
with his camera.
A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE
of the parade was the automobile Sec
ton, each and every car decorated as
prettily as the other-so much SO the
judges had no easy task in reaching
their decision. The prize winners were
Edwards Bros. and Mrs. f. w. Webb /.
The Kritz car driyen by Miss Levia Eng
man did not capture prize for the rea-
son, no doubt, There were not enough
prizes to go around, but the judges vot-
ed to give it special mention. This car,
owned by Capt, G. G. Gray, was deco
rated with sweet pea blossoms and ferns,
not only clever conceit but one that
was artistic and beautiful in the extreme.
THE JUDGES
were J. N. Stuckie, State Commander OF
the Maccabees; j. T. Littleton, of New
Orleans; j. A. Breath, of this city.
Mrs. Claud Monti drove Ford, dec
Grated layishly with poppies, and this,
too, received recognition from the
judges in the way OF special mention.
Messrs, Edwards Bros Chalmers car
was transformed and decorated to re-
present motor launch, covered with
water lilies, and measuring 10 feet from
front to back. Every detail had been
attended to, even to the life preservers
which hung over from the sides. Seat
ed within was bevy of charming little
girls whose presence helped to capture
the prize of $40 in gold offered Dy the
Maccabees.
The car Of Mrs. r. w. Webb's was
tastefully decorated with white roses
banked along the sides and back. The
front conspicuously carried the Macca.

the immaculate white of the flowers. /
