Smith and Carpenter
Both Declare They Are
Ready to Meet Again
By associated Press

London, July II. - "If 'Gunboat'
Smith wants a return match right
away he is not going to encounter the
slightest difficulty" said Georges Carr
pentier's manager to-day. "It is Car
pentier's wish, as 1t is my wish, that
the white champion of the world
should retain the championship not by
a mere fluke or disqualification, but
by right of superiority in boxing"
Both sides have put themselves on
record as eagerly desiring an early re-
turn match and the only bar to such
a meeting appears to be the arrange
ment of a suitable purse. .
Deschamps, Carpenters manager,
commenting on what he termed the
disappointing end of yesterdays fight,
said both he and Carpenter were dis
satisfied with the result He added:
Carpenter personally wanted the
fight to proceed, but l thought the
blow he received from Smith while he
was down would have proved detri-
mental had the fight gone on. II
knocked all the brilliancy out of the
French boy. Carpenter is quite ready
and indeed anxious to meet 'Gunboat'
Smith again."

great intensity over the drainage area

'MOTHER' LODGE OF PYTHIAN.
ISM

Franklin Lodge, No. is referred to
as the Mother" lodge, and properly
so, for on January /, 1866, it was the
whole order, thus being "the" subordi-
nate lodge and, in effect, the grand
lodge, the supreme lodge of the or
der, though four other lodges had
been organized and instituted, three
in the District of Columbia and one
in Alexandria, Virginia. Upon Frank
lin lodge, No. g. rested the RESPONSE
bility of preserving the order to pos
terity. Realizing this responsibility
1t, early in 1865. appointed a commit
tee to endeavor to organize another
lodge. The committee met with sue
cess and soon reported a charter
list" whereupon the past chancellor
of Franklin lodge No. granted a
"dispensation," as it was then called
for the institution of the new lodge
1t was under the dispensation, the
only one of it's kind ever issued in the
Pythian order, that Mt. Vernon lodge
No. was instituted, April 16. 1866
Both lodges have continuously exist
ed since institution, the one since April
IL, 1864, and the other since April 16,
1866; ard Joining hand in hand soon
re-organized the grand lodge of the
District of Columbia, which, of course
ceased to exist when all the lodges
except Franklin No. 2 became defunct

Hennessey For Governor,
Doomed by Progressives
Special to The Telegraph

New York. July 17.-John A. Hen
nessey, who by his fiery speeches
against Tammany Hall did much to
elect the fusion ticket in the last
mayoralty campaign in Manhattan, is
being considered seriously by Progress
sives as the man to head the fight in
New York State this FAN.
1t is said on the best authority that
HeRnessey would accept the nomina-
ton for Governor. Much strength was
given to the report when it became
known to-day that Mr.. Hennessey
slipped up to Sycamore Hill on Tues
day night last and held three hours
conference with Roosevelt. The Colo
mel promised to take the matter up
with other leaders
Hennessey, it is pointed out is
loaded to the bripn with material about
the "rottenness of boss rule in the
State" Whether he is a big enough
figure in politics to run for Governor
is matter which is being discussed
with care.
In a formal statement made pub
lie, District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man made sweeping denial of the al
legations that he was the author OF
a letter draft initiated &c. S. W.
which Colonel Roosevelt gave to the
newspapers on Wednesday night, ac-
companied by broadside against Mr.
Whitman, who is the most formidable
rival of the Progressives for the Gov.
ernorship.

Suit Under Sherman
Law May Be Started
Within Next Few DAYS
Rr ASSocinted Press

Washington, d. c.. July II. - After
a two-hours' conference to-day between
Attorney General McReynolds and T,
w. Gregory, special assistant in charge
of the New Haven case, it seemed prac-
tically certain that negotiation has
failed and that the Department of JUS
tice would begin its Sherman law suit
to dissolve the New Haven system with
in the next few days.
The Attorney General and Mr.. Greg
ory had before them official notice
from the New Haven board of directors
that IL cannot accept the terms imposed
by Massachusetts on the sale of it's Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad stock. Depart
ment officials are said to now consider
Sherman lawsuit their only course.
Two things might prevent such a
suit President Wilson will be con-
suited by the Attorney General before
the suit is filed. and If the President
finds any way in which negotiations
may be resumed and the Boston and
Maine matter disposed of to the salts
faction of the department 1T may pre-
vent suit. The only other avenue for
peaceful settlement 1t was pointed out
to-day, lies with the New Haven direc-
tors. The department has not shut the
door to further negotiations. but It can
be said with authority that 1T does not
plan to make any move toward a re-
sumption of them. Mr.. McReynolds rs
said to feel that the New Haven must
make the next move.

'" KITCHEN SHOWER"
MAKES HIM HUFFY
License Tax Collector Thought
Joke Fine Until He Found
1t on Him

William ID. Block, the city's license
tax collector, was the happy CD re-
cipient to-day of pretty kitchen
shower.
The shower" occurred in City
Clerk Charles A. Miller's office and
Mr.. Blocks desk, the counter and
most of the floor roundabout got the
benefit of the shower.
: Three heavily-laden boys from q
nearby department store brought the
things. They ranged incidentally
from a small bathtub to a teakettle
City Clerk Miller, who showed the
guests-there were an unusual num-
ber of callers for some reason or other
at the City Clerks office to-day-dis-
covered something with a handle to 1t
Whats this-a fiyswatter?" he in
quired.
NO" explained Mr.. Block wearily
''its a gridiron."
There were many things that one
can use-enough to fit up the kitchen
or kitchenette of the most exacting
and discriminating newlyweds thai
ever tried to keep the affair as quiet
as possible. Three Balloons, dol
and rolling-pin were among the
things that someone jokingly poked
into the bundle.
The committee that arranged it al
included Senator E. e. Beidleman
Harry F. Owes, Mercer b. Tate and
City Clerk Miller, on behalf of Wits
friends, as they put it.
At first Mr.. Block thought
the unloading of the tinwAre
was a splendid joke on City Clerk
Miller-and he laughed joyously
When he learned that it was meant for
himself he promptly ordered the boys
to take 'em all back" And when
the boys refused-and friends, at
taches, clerks, etc, from other offices
began dropping in to see and admire
Mr.. Block promptly left the office in
a huff.
Rumor, for some time, has had it in
and about the city offices that Dan
/ Cupid has an arrow sunk pretty deep
in the tax collectors hide.

VEGETABLES HIGHER
IN PRICE THIS YEAR
Retail Cost of Meat Has Ad-
vanced From One to Five
Cents Pound

That housewives in this city will
be compelled to pay from one to five
cents pound more for meat than
they paid a week ago was the an
nouncement made by dozens of butch
ers this morning. The increase in
the price to the consumer is due to the
increase in the wholesale price an
nounced several days ago throughout
the United States.
Along with the announcement OF
the meat increases comes the unpleas-
ant news that vegetables, too, are go
ing up in price. Onions, for instance,
which last year brought one dollar n
bushel and now selling for three dol
lars a bushel.
The second crop of tomatoes is on
the market and selling for just twice
the price of last season. Tomatoes are
now selling from one dollar to a dol
lar fifty a bushel. Last year they sold
for fifty, sixty and seventy-five cents
a bushel at this time of the year.
Watermelons and some of the other
fruits are cheaper this year than last
according to dealers.

MOTHER Of LOCAL
RECTOR IS KILLED
Hit by Car Near Mt. Holly Inn;
Funeral in New York
Tomorrow

Mrs w G. Appleton, of Dubbs
Ferry, N. Y, the mother OF the Rev.
DR.. Floyd Appleton, rector OF ST.
Paul's Episcopal Church, this city. was
instantly killed yesterday afternoon at
$50 o'clock by a car on the Cumber-
land Electric Railway lines. Mrs. APP
pleton was walking on the tracks be-
tween Mt. Holly Park and Mt Holly
Inn, where she had been staying, when
a car going toward Carlisle rounded a
curve and struck her.
George Meals, motorman of the car,
said he blew the whistle before round
ing the curve. Mrs. Appleton carried
a parasol, which it is believed dead
ened the sound. The car was loaded
with picnickers and several women
in the car tainted when the body was
taken from under the wheels.
DIR. w. G. Appleton, his wife and
son, the Rev. Floyd Appleton, arrived
at the Mt. Holly Inn Monday after a
visit with the Rev. Mr.. Appleton in
this city. They had been at the park,
a short distance from the Inn, and
were returning to the hotel Mrs.
Appleton was walking on the track,
as heavy rain short time previously
is said to have made. the road and
IfOotpath almost impossible. Her hus-
band andAson were on the path about
twenty five feet away and saw the ac-
cident.
DR.. Gamble, of Mt. Holly, was called
at once, but death had been instant.
When the doctor arrived she was lying
on the track with her head badly cut
and one leg broken. There were nu-
merous cuts and bruises on the body.
Blame Not Fixed
Coroner Deardorff was summoned
and held an inquest. A jury hastily
iimpanelled after hearing the evidence
gave a verdict that death was acci-
dental. The blame was not fixed.
At the Inn DR. and Mrs. Appleton
were pronounced favorites. In spirit
of appreciative jest the Inn colony
decorated their chairs as though they
were bride and groom. The tragic
death has thrown pail of gloom over
the guests
The body of Mrs. Appleton will be
| taken to New York tomorrow morn
ing, where funeral services will be held
from the Chapel of the Intercession
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street
Burial will be made in the cemetery
adjoining the church.
