pointment of Patrick Gilday of Clear
field. Pa and c. w. Mills of Phila-
delphia by Secretary of Labor Wilson
to act as conciliators in the Westing-
house strike caused considerable COM
ment today among the 1900 strikers.

Company, Westinghouse Machine Com

Striking workmen from the various
plants participated in several mass meet
ings, at which speakers urged them to
continue the good order maintained since
the lHCeptlOH VI Inc tiouoio wv SS.s

on, and the game was going on most
of the time for more than two hours.
In the ninth inning the All-Masons
banged out five more runs, making the
score IA to 5. Both teams put up some
pretty exhibitions at times, mixed with
some pretty ragged work, and the fact
that the winning side made eighteen hits
accounts for their capturing the game.
On Coaching Line.
Hamilton Smith, better known in
Masonic circles as Ham," was on the
coaching line for Harmony, and Umpire
Billy Belts for the All-Masons. Jim"
Springman and Charley Wahoo of Car
Isle officiated.

Masonic and Eastern Star Home and was
staged under the auspices of the Wor-

SEES NO DANGER IN
HUGE GOLD EXPORTS
Burke Says It Makes No Difference
If Europe Takes
$2OO,OOO,0o0.

Treasury Department officials show
only passing interest in the phenomenal
expectation of gold through New York
Since January J the amount of gold
exported has been about S70,000,O0O. The
gold reserve supply at the New York sub
treasury was practically exhausted and
more than $40,0O0,OOO worth Of gold bars
and coin was sent to New York last
week from other sub-treasuries.
What difference does it make if
Europe draws on us for S1OO,O00,0O0 of
gold, or 20O,0OO,OOO WORTH" said John
Burke, treasurer Of the United States,
when asked about the movement toward
Europe. The United States has plenty
of gold We are not like countries which
have only limited amount. We have
more than billion dollars worth of gold
in reserve

ALL-MASONS TRIM
HARMONY PLAYERS
Crowds as Large as Nationals
Draw Greet Aproned War
riors of Diamond.
WINNING TEAM OWES ITS
SUCCESS TO STICK WORK
Curly" Byrd Touched Up for Sew
eral Hits, But Gets Revenge
With Two Long Ones.

Playing before crowd a. large as the
average one that usually greets the
Nationals, the All-Masonics yesterday
afternoon defeated the Harmony team
by the score of IA to .. The clash came
as the result of a long-standing rivalry
between the members of Harmony
Lodge, No. IL. and ball players from
other lodges of the fraternity in the
District of Columbia. Vice President
Marshall tossed out the first ball.
Every Masonic body in Washington
was represented in the stands, as well
wishers of both sides found many
things to their liking, all the way from
the clever work of several of the play
ers to the band concert. The latter
cupied about half a minute at the end
of each inning.
The game started evenly enough-at
the end of the third the score stood
: to in favor of Harmony-but after
this inning the All-Masonic sluggers got
busy. They touched up Byrd. the star
twirler of the Harmony aggregation, for
total of eighteen hits during the game.
The game was remarkably free from
errors. when it is taken into considera-
ton that quite a number of the players
have not been practicing steadily.
Out of Their Positions.
Harmony. it may be stated in fairness
to the losing side, was handicapped by
having three men playing out of their
regular positions. Thesce were King,
Masdonald and Riddle. all first basemen
regularly.
Curly Byrd carried off the individual
smuggling honors of the afternoon, with
two three-baggers. At the end of the
sixth, with the score Z to 3 in favor of
the All-Masonics, Harmony had a great
chance to tie up the game. but nobody
got around. West singled. Mike Mac
donald followed suit, and Riddle walk
ed. Then "Cy'' Macdonald, the terror of
all amateur pitchers in the District, came
to bat. Macdonald, however, gave n nice
little imitation of the famous Casey
at the Bat''-only he didn't strike out
ne just popped up a fly that was so easy
to grab that brother Mike over on sec
ond laughed immensely at his heavy
weight brothers failure to come across
with home run. The uninitiated in base
ball are perhaps wondering yet just ex-
actly why the Harmony team did not
get a run this inning. but it didn't.
Along Base Line.
In the seventh Thompson. who pitched
a steady game for the All Masonics, laid
one along third-base line and followed it
up by quietly ambling around Riddle for
second A minute later he pilfered third,
when Byrd wasn't looking. and came
home on Dodge's fly to "Cy'' Macdonald.
Then somehow or other, still from the
standpoint Of the uninitiated in base ball.
no matter how much initiated they may
be in Missionary, there was another COM
plex situation out in the field, and the
side was out

WAR OVER VITAL ORGANS
UP TO SUPREME COURT.
Appeal Is Taken From Maryland
Court Order Appointing
Receiver.

One of the strangest cases ever filed In
the Supreme Court reached there yester-
day when an appeal was docketed from
Maryland court order for the appoint
ment of receiver to take possession of
the vital organs of a dead man for
chemical examination.
The case grows out of the fight over
the million-doIlar insurance carried by
Edward o: Painter a business man of
Jacksonville. Fla, when he fell over
board from ferry boat at Jacksonville,
April 81, 1913. and was drowned.
Painter was seized with violent vomit-
ing, and when he went to the rail of the
boat fell into the water. Upon the re-
covery of his body his vital organs were
sent by the family physicians to Balti-
more for examination.
Doctor Is Enjoined.
DR.. Charles Glasor, in whose custody
they were placed, was enjoined by an
insurance company from turning the
organs over to the widow and daughter
for burial before the company. which
had issued an accident policy to Painter.
had an opportunity to examine them.
Then the lower court at the instance
of the insurance company. appointed a
receiver to take charge of the organs
and to make a chemical examination.
The state courts in Maryland held that
the provision in the insurance policy CIV
ing the company right OF examination
was superior to any property right the
widow or daughter might nave IN the re-
mains.
1t was to get review Of such a deci-
sion that the case was brought to the
Supreme Court.
