Baker Testifies to
Talk With McAdoo
About Shipping

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Bernard N.
Baker Baltimore steamship manager.
told the senate committee inquiring into
charges of influence against the admins
tration ship bill today, that so per cent
of the German-owned liners laid up in
American ports were untitled for the
service the bill contemplates and that in
all his conversations with Secretary Nc
Adoo he had so far excluded those ships
as unavailable to the government that
the possibility of their purchase never
was discussed.
Adoo acquiesced in that view. Describing
his connection with the shipping bill, Mr..
Baker said he met Secretary McAdoo
when the latter called a conference of
business men soon after the outbreak OF
the war He had conferred with Mr.. Nc
Adoo on the shipping bill and ocean
freight rates and discussed the availa-
bility of ships included in a list submitted
by a Boston ship agent which included
none of those owned by the large Ger
man lines.
When efforts we're being made to get
Americans out of the war zone, Baker
said he asked Mr.. Sickel of the Hamberg-
| American line to advise Mr.. McAdoo.
! Sickel refused. he said, until assured that
no proposition to buy steamers of that
line was contemplated. Sckel said he had
orders to entertain no such proposal

MEDFORD. Mass. Feb. 17.-Experi-

nounced today. that radio messages may

Run" Baker star third baseman of the
Philadelphia American league base ball

mond and will not appear with the team

ment made here tonight by Manager Con-
ME Mack at dinner of the Philadelphia

and 1913 world series with the New York

games at critical periods and in 1913 he
put the ball over the fence in the opening
contest. Last year his batting average
for the season was 1886 and he made
twelve home runs. but. like the Other
members OF the team, appeared to be ir
a slump in the critical series with the

The Chinese government also has ex-

The status OF the negotiations is now
rather clouded. Two opinions prevail ir

to offer objections the board deferred
action Until the following meeting,
when the applications of two were
approved.
Then the drys secured an injunction
against the board from granting Ii
censes On the grounds that the two ia.
vored applications were approved at
other than a regular meeting. Judge
Bouck has just handed down a deci
sion dissolving the injunction and
holding that the board was wholly
within its rights in tabling action on
the applications until an adjourned
meeting.
Tie day following this decision the
board met to approve the bonds of the
two applicants, and promptly turned
down all bonds, leaving the city still
in the dry column.

termed Hungarian Musician In a
Most Practical Way.

The king of Spain has a way of re-
Wondering people when they are in
trouble. The celebrated Hungarian
gypsy violinist and orchestra conductor
Boldi, who played daily and nightly at
the Ritz, Meurice and Cafe de la Paix
in Paris for some thirty years, was
sent to q concentration camp by the
French authorities at the opening of
the war. Boldi had brought up q large
family in Paris, but he had never
thought Of getting naturalized. SO
when the war came the whole family,
along with the score or more OF Hun
garian musicians in the orchestra,
were bundled off to a camp. The
property which Boldi had acquired out
OF his years OF savings was put under
%sequester and the family found itself
in straits.
Now the king Of Spain is passionate
ly fond of Hungarian music and used
to give really royal tips to Boldi every
time he went to Paris for many years.
Boldi's o even went to play in a fash
ionable restaurant at Madrid on recon-
mendations given by the king. When
the king heard from Hungarians at
Madrid that the Boldi family was in
difficulties he had his secretary send
them a monthly allowance Of 300
francs $500, which has gone to the
camp every month since the outbreak
OF the war. There is little need for
money at the camp, SO the whole fam
lily is quite comfortable on King AL.
fonso's allowance.
