in favor of it except Dr., Ii. w. Briggs.
The resolution reads:
Whereas, The Board Of Health

MAY Be UNCROWNED
By The United Press.

PARIS, Nov 16.-Naval fighting
German and Austrian submarines
against French and British cruisers
in Greek waters is a distinct possibil-
ity Of the very near future.
That the Greek government has re-
fused demands which the Allies insist
on. as essential to their safety that the
Allies are prepared to use force to
compel compliance with their wishes
and that the Central Powers un-
doubtedly will help King Constantine
10 resist is admitted in diplomatic
quarters today.
The Allies are determined, even if
Greece will not help them IN their
Balkan campaign, that she shall at
least give them an entirely free hand.
Constantine was asked to guarantee
this. He has not done 1t. The state
ment is not made here OF IN LONDON
that he said he would intern any
French or British troops who might
be driven out OF Serbia or Bulgaria
INTO Greece, but the Allies impression
Is that this is what he means to do.
The Allies are convinced that a
general majority Of the Greeks are
pro-Ally: also that they want to help
Serbia against Bulgaria. They have
definitely made up their minds. how
ever. that King Constantine and the
group which surrounds him are pro-
German.
If il becomes necessary Tor the
French and British to send war
fleet to Greece to insure non-inter-
ference with their Balkan plans, II Is
binted in well-informed circles that
there is just one way that this in
surance can be made effective, by put
ting another than Constantine on the
Greek throne.
The belief here is that nothing Ger
many can do can avail to prevent the
final accomplishment Of the Allies
Greek program, even II it involves un
crowning Constantine. The subma
rine. so far as French experts can see
is his only available weapon. TIT
struggle. il it comes. is deemed Ger
tain to be a desperate one. Hopes ar
entertained, however, that the Greel
King will not dare to defy the Allies
Denys Cochin, of the French cabi
net, is In Athens today. It is expecte'
that British War Minister Lor'
Kitchener, now on the island Of Lem

ADMIT THEY WERE
WITHOUT HOMES

Fourteen white men now comprise
the chain gang. They we're placed at
work unloading paving brick at Tenth
street between King and French
streets. The six men who were placed
at work yesterday afternoon devoted
the greater part of this morning to
unloading bricks. The men had fire.
quent breathing spells as the teams
we're limited, and the men soon
emptied a wagon of its load.
As a result of the addition of the
men from City Court today to the

Chief OF Police Black, who is desig-
mated under the State blue laws as
keeper of the goal, to order addi-
tiOnal mattresses. These will be
received late this afternoon and
placed on the cots for the sleeping
quarters of the men at the Court
House.
When the first six workers we're
taken to their quarters last night, they
all had keen appetites and eat heart
lily of the meal of scrapple, bread and
coffee. This morning the men en-
joyed the same menu and for dinner
they had a copious helping of baked
beans, bread and coffee.
James Black has been engaged as
the day watchman and receiving clerk
at the County Court House, and he is
at present preparing the mems meals
1t will be necessary TO have additional
help, however, in the culinary depart
ment if the chain gang increases.
That the gang" will be increased
was manifest last night when orders
were issued at the police station to
arrest all dodgers who have been max

of the seven men sentenced in City

New Haven was planning a mortgage of S4OO,OO0,000.
 "A mortgage, if issued, will prob ably not name any total sum, but bonds will be issued from time to time The proposed mortgage bonds, he authorities and any mortgage will contain the necessary provisions pro- tecting the right of existing securi- ties," President Elliott explained. The proposed mortgage bands, he thought, would be taken by stock holders, and investors at a lower rate of interest than is paid on the pres ent short time notes. Explaining the proposition further, MT. Elliott said:
 Conflicting Law.
 '"The legislature of Massachusetts for 1914 directed the public service commission to make an investigation of the relation of railroad companies to the statute laws of this and other states
 ITO aid the commission in their work, the New Haven company within the past six months has done much work in giving information to the commission about the conflicting laws of the New England states and about New Haven finances. There have been several conferences with the commission and two meetings at which commissioners of states other than Massachusetts were present. At these meetings various plans were suggested for financing the floating debt of the New Haven company and for obtaining money for Improvements Among the plans discussed was that of a mortgage. Nothing definite has been done about it and nothing can be done until the legislatures of the various states take action"

INQUIRY ORDERED IN
 PATRONAGE COMBAT
Brandegee Named on Committee to Probe Presidents Right to Make
 Recess Appointments.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Differences between President Wilson and some members of the senate over federal appointments resulted last night in the senate judiciary committee order ing an inquiry into the authority of the president to make a recess ap- pointment to fill a vacancy created during a session of congress. Senators Culberson, Reed Walsh, Brandegee and Borah were named as a sub-com- mittee to conduct the investigation.
 This action followed the decision of the committee to recommend rNjec- tion of the appointment of Ewing G. Bland of Kansas City, to be United States marshal for the western Mis- souri district. Bland got recess ap pointment to the marshalship, which was vacant before congress adjourned last October After the present ses sion began, his nomination was sent in-and Senator Reed has been fight ing it's confirmation ever since.
 Soon after the meeting of the jul dietary committee. the senate in exec utive session unanimo ously rejected the nomination of Mrs. Marjorie J. Bloom to be postmast CT at Devils; Lake. N. D. Three months ago the senate re- fused to confirm the same nomination and after congress adjourned the president made a recess appointment. Last month he again sent in Mrs. Blooms nomination. He had nomi- mated her in the first place after the appointment of her husband to the office had been rejected by the senate, following an investigation of charges.

loupes and asparagus. Even ka1e, spinach, rhubarb, and horse radish constitute important crops upon these soils in certain localities.
 The soils of the sassafras series were once extensively occupied for the production of peaches. At pres ent pears. fall apples, grapes and small fruits constitute their most val uable contributions in the fruit line.
 An excellent quality of pipes smok- ing tobacco is grown upon some of these soils in southern Maryland be- tween Chesapeake Bay and the Po- tomac river.
 The greater part of the soils of the sassafras series is nearly level, the types are we'll drained, and a high percentage of the total area is under cultivation.
 This entire group of soils was named from it's extensive occurrence along the Sassafras river in eastern Mary land
