Of Commerce Of the United States

London, Feb. 4-The Pail Mall

that the dynamiting Of the Vancebo-

outbreak Of German ferocity" on
American soil.
Other London newspapers sum up
the Eanceboro matter briefly and
devoted most of their attention TO
the shipping bill! now before the
United States Senate. The Standard
comments as follows: 1T is one thing
to offer advantages to AL the world.
To allow these to be worked for the
benefit Of belligerent is quite an
other This is where the Democratic
party will lose favor with the people
unless they agree upon the principle
of America for Amercans--all OF
them, not German Americans only,
Uncle Sam just now is in no mooi

LADY MANAGERS
ISSUE STATEMENT
"Inside History Of Selection
of Site for New IL
Hospital" IF
MAY PROVE A HOLDUP
Every Member of Board Favored
Daingerfeld Property as Site for
Purposed Hospital

The executive officers of the Board
Of LADY, Managers of the Alexandra
Hospital have issued statement
published in today's Gazette giving
an "inside" history of the selection
of a site for the new Alexandria
Hospital, question which threat
ened to stop work on the new build
ing for which Alexandria has sub
scribed $4,000. When the board OF
=, trustees at meeting held a week
a6o>decided that the location on
Columbus street was the most avail
able ana refused to reconsider their
previous decision to purchase that
property, it was thought that harm
ony would be restored and that there
would be no further efforts to secure
new location. But the ladies, at
the end of their statement declare
that the action. of the trustees will
bring about dissatisfied and dis
couraged workers" and that they
still hope that Judicial heads among
the trustees will find some better To-
cation for the new hospital which
will meet with the hearty good will
s of the lady managers and physicians
and for which new life and energy
will engage all to work together in
harmony" T.!
The statement gives the CORES
pondence that passed between the
lady board and the trustees, and
says every member Of the former
body favored the Daingerfeld site.
which was not selected, and pro-
tested against the Columbus street
site. 1t is also shown that every
member of the staff of physicians
signed an agreement to favor what
ever site was selected by the women.
The ladies declare that they .were
not given fair hearing by the
board of trustees, and they and the
physicians will most, thoughtfully
consider any further invitation from
the Board Of Trustees" to be present
at any of their meetings.

VOTE MAY BE CLOSE
House Waiting Action Of upSer
Branch of Assembly Before yGt-
ing on Supplemental Bill.

Richmond, Feb. 4--The Sena &c s
way to a solution of the tax probl.,n
is now open. That branch Of the
Legislature will indicate today by us
action whether the General Assem-
Ibly is to harmonic on better form
Of taxation or adjourn without hs.r-
ing accomplished anything more ai-
vartageous to the State than educat-
ing the people Of Virginia TO 6 keen
er appreciation Of the inadepuacies
of the existing tax code.
With the House OF Delegates COM
mitted to the principles Of segrega.
tion, the temper Of the Senate was
regarded yesterday as favorable to
the speedy settlement Of the IN
portant question for which the Leg.
islature was called in extraordinary
session. Leaders of the contendine
faction in the House last night si!ar-
ed the opinion that the tax problem
will not be left to another General
Assembly TO work out. Advocates Or
the Tax Commission plan expressed
their belief that supervisory board
would be insisted upon by the Sen-
ate before that body accepted the
segregation plan, as constituted in
The administration bill.
The segregationists, on the other
hand. were even more sanguine cf
practically complete Endorsement by
The Senate for the administration
bill than at any time since the extra
session began.
The segregationists deny lhas
they are disposed to accept any moi
;ficarions that will tend to emascl-
late The bill that passed the House
Tuesday and its essential supple
ments. They point out that al 10
time has there been manifested by
any group of Senators decided anita
.onism to any Of the essential feat
1res Of the administration bill. The
Senators, they say have considered
the subjects discussed conseGTativelr.
There has been no organized rleht
in the Senate either for the Tax COM
mission plan or the segregation plan.
And they reason that this attitude
,ugurs more strongly in favor Of The
bill that passed the House than
against it.
The Senate will vote or the s's'-
repation bill this afternoon at. 4'2h
o'clock.

min is still held by our forces, though
the enemy is making desperate at
tacks in that region"
Victory for the Russians north OF
the Vistula aroused enthusiasm here
today. It was taken to indicate the
resamption Of the Russian drive on
the Prussian fortress of Thorn. The

COUNCIL WILL MEET
Will Consider Situation at Special
Meeting to be Held Tonight-Con-
ference With Senator Thornton.

A special meeting of the City
Council has been called for O'Clock
tonight to consider an extraordinary
situation which has risen from the
efforts of council to have the act OF
| the general assembly OF Virginia
providing for "a civil and 5olice JUS
! tice of Alexandria, repealed.
Unless the action Of, Council taken
at its last meeting to call upon the
Senator and Delegate from this city
in the general assembly to use their
efforts to have this city exempted
from the provisions of the act, Is
withdrawn, according to members
of council who have studied the stu
alton and a number Of lawyers who
have examined the matter, this city
will find itself on the first Of next
January without any authority quail
fed to try either police or civil cases.
In brief, the act which was passed
in 1914, creating the office Of police
and civil justice, aboisnes the police
Justice of Alexandria, an Office now
held bv Harry 3. Cation, and also
the powers of the several justices o1
the peace to try civil cases. The act
of 1903, creating the office OF police
Justice, in turn repealed the charter
provision which authorized the mayor
of the city 10 try police cases.
The decision to cab especial meet.
ing of council tonight followed con-
ference today between Henry X.
Field, president Of the Board OF Al
derlnen, and Howard W. Smith, pres
ident cf the Common Council. at
which was also present Harry <.
Burke, i member OF the finance COM
nittee from the lower board. Sena-
tor Thornton, talked to these gentle
men over the telephone this morn
ing and explained to them that it was
practically impossible to secure the
passage at this session OF the leglsla-
ture of new act which would re-es-
tablish the office Of police justice Of
Alexandria, after the act of 1914
was repealed He stated that 1t
would be necessary to accept the
Milstead bill, introduced by the rep
resentative of Newport News, just as
it had been presented or else kill it
entirely. Just what provisions New
port News has taken to guard itself
against the conditions which will
exist in Alexandria is not known.
but Senator Thornton promised to
send a copy of the Milstead bill here
today by special delivery so as to
reach President Smith before coun-
Gil assemblies.
The section Of the act Of 1914 re-
pealing the authority Of the police
Justice and the justices Of the peace
is AS follows:
THE office of police justice in said
cities is hereby abolished from and
after the first day of January, 1916.
and the terms of all police justices
heretofore appointed in said cities
shall be extended to and terminate
on said date. All warrants, proceed
ings and claims Of whatever nature
within the jurisdiction conferred by
this act upon civil and police justices
pending before any police justice or
, Justice of the peace in said cities on
the first day of January, 1915, shall
be forewith transferred on said date
for further procedure and determine
tiou to the said civil and police JUS
tees respectively"
