Every Precaution VIII Be la

rum From Being in ANY
Way Objectionable

By a vote of three to seven. the
Board OF Aldermen last night killed
the hospital ordinance which had been
introduced by Alderman Grundy for the
purpose Of preventing DR.. Beverly Il.
Tucker from transferring his sanitorium
near the corner OF First and Grace
streets TO the corner of Madison and
Franklin-
tn vote might have been different
had Aldermen Grundy and Powers been
present. Both of these gentlemen had
expressed thmselves as favorable to
the ordinance
Thos who voted against the ordi-
nance were Aldermen Gilman. Melton,
Nielsen. Paul, Fuller. Workman and
Adams. Those who favored the ordi-
nance were Aldermen Christian. Gunst
and Mitchell.
Mr.. Gunst explained his vote by say
Ing that he, as chairman of the Or
dinance Committee. voted for the ordi-
nance In committee. and wished to be
consistent.
The ordinance was designed, as was
well-known. to prevent DIR. Tucker
from removing his sanitorium TO Mad
fson and Franklin Streets. Residents
of that neighborhood objected
Feared Effects ON Property.
The directors stated that the location
of the hospital at that point would
cause n deterioration of property
values. and would tend TO make the
neighborhood and unpleasant place in
which to live. II had been shown at
committee meetings that noisy pa
tients would not be taken at this SAINT
toriurn, but would be sent elsewhere.
such explanation was not accepted by
the advocates OF the ordinance.
Alderman Fuller, before the question
on the ordinance was pat. suggested
that the best thing TO do would be
to send the ordinance bsrk TO the
committee In explaining his position
on this particular point he said that
IL the ordinance did get to the com
mittee IL would not again come forth,
II his vote could prevent H.
Mr.. Gunst favored the proposStion adj
vocated by Mr.. Fuller. that the erdi-
nance be recommitted to the commit

titled to Know Reason for
All Their Sacrifices

Washington. D. c., June 49,
Former Secretary Bryan today pro-
posed a renewal of mediation efforts
by neutral nations or their citizens as
the one practical solution of the prob
lem OF ending the war in Europe.
He issued at his home here the
third and concluding section of his
statement dealing with the war in
Europe, the last one being entitled
after he had made public his argu-
ment for the renewal of mediation
efforts his friends declared that he
intends to place himself in touch
with the leading peace advocates in
Norway, Sweden, Denmark. Spain.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and other
neutral nations. to see what can be
done by a concerted effort to end the
war through their efforts.
In his statement issued today Mr..
Bryan declares that mediation Is the
means provided by international
agreement through which the bel
ligerent nations can be brought into
conference. He urges that neutral
nations offer mediation Jointly or
severally. and he advocates world
wide educational movement to Guilt
vate the spirit of brotherhood.
In discussing the reasons which
have SO far prevented peace Mr..
Bryan says:
Great nations cannot be extermi-
mated. Predictions made at the be-
ginning of the war have not been
fulfilled. The British did not destroy
the German fleet in a month; Ger
many did not take Paris in two
months. and the Russian army did
not eat Christmas dinner in Berlin.
But even IL determination were pos
sibie 1t would be a crime against
civilization which no nation or group
of nations could AFFORD to commit"

APPEAL IS FILED
 WITH SEC. FARRELL
OanahtT Clans Action Of Three
 Directors Was Illegal.

Styling the action of President James H. O'Rourke and associates as "palpably illegal and unlawful" At torney c. J. Danaher yesterday filed an appeal with Secretary Frank s. Farrell of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues in be- half of Owners J. H. Clarkin, of Hart ford; C. E. Carey, of Springfield, and George Cameron, of New Haven. '1f the directors of the New London, Pittsfield and Bridgeport clubs pos sess the right to forfeit franchises and membership of the Hartford, Spring field and New Haven clubs, then Hartford, Springfield and New Haven directors would have the right to for felt franchises and membership of New London, Pittsfeld and Bridge port" says MT. Danaher.
 In appeal, Attorney Danaher holds that the special meeting of March Is at which New Haven, Springfield and Hartford were read out of the league was called flor the purpose of acting upon the schedule for 1915" and for this purpose only Further language of the call is: And to do any other business proper to be done at said meeting' He holds it is not in com pliance with the law governing meet ings and points out that the supreme court of Connecticut has held that such language in notice or call does not warrant doing of any business ex- cept such as is specially mentioned in notice or call.
 As a quorum was not present at the meeting, MT. Danaher contends that under article G2 of the league constitution no business could be transacted except to adjourn from time to time until a quorum was ob- tained.

EASTERN ASSN. MAY NOT OPEN ITS GATES
Nothing Done at Meeting of League
 kagnaes, O'RouTke Says.

Gradually the sentiment is grow ing that the Eastern Baseball asso- citation will not open it's gates this season. The absolute refusal of Cameron, Carey and Clarkin, of the New Haven, Springfield and Hartford clubs, respectively, to start the cam paign under the present conditions, followed by the holding of three meetings of the emaining directors, in which little or nothing was accom- plished has set the average fan 70 delving into deep thought. He cares little whether or not the league starts while there are no visible signs of any men with money falling all over themselves to gain control of fran chises. It will be interesting to watch developments, as President O'Rourke has given his word and honor that there will be a league in the field this year.
 President O'Rourke and his flock convened at the Hotel Garde in New Haven yesterday afternoon. Nothing at all was accomplish ed after ses- sion that lasted about two hours. No action was taken in filling the vacan- CleS CduSSu py lHe or the franchises, once controlled by the three "C's' pending a decision from Secretary Farrell, of the National as- sociation to whom the matter has been referred.
 There are applications for fran chises in three or more cities, o. Rourke said, but the applicants are desirous of having the legal entangle-
  take hold. Those interested in ac- quiring franchises, according to tho president, do not care to go ahead only to be hailed into court in order to have the mix-up settled.
 The meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the president. President O'Rourke is suffering from a hard cold and could hardly talk above a whisper.
