WAITING FOR THE BREMEN.
Deutschland Apparently Has Everything
in Readiness.

Baltimore, Md, July 2s.-Witf
clearance papers for the submarine
freighter Deutschland in his possession
and with everything apparently in read
mess for the vessels departure, Capt
Paul Koenig is waiting. it is believed, fot
news from another submarine vessel,
the Bremen.
An indication that the homeward
bound submarine may put into some
cover down the Chesapeake bay to await
an opportune time to make a dash out
OF the capes, is the quantity of coal
stored on the after deck of the tug
Thomas T. Timmins, which will tow the
Deutschland. This is in large sacks,
possibly 100 of them. With her bunk
ers full and this additional supply, the
Timmins could stand by the underseas
boat for several days.
The Deutschland continued her tests
yesterday behind the barricade OF barges
that is augmented by screens of bur-
lap to prevent even the briefest peep at
the green hulk. The waters outside her
slip were covered with oil thrown off in
her submerging operations.
Those on board the interned North
German Lloyd steamer Neckar on the
other side of the Deutschland's slip eyi
iently were having good time last
night. The vessel was brilliantly light
I'd and strains of lively music foated
over the water.

An ambulance and two doctors re-
sponded 10 an emergency call at the
Presbrey- -Coykendall plant in the Wiley
street meadow yesterday afternoon
when Frank Bombard, an elderly Jumper
living at Central street, received in
juries that may prove very series MI
Bombard was working in the main sec
tion OF the shed where the saw is To-
Gated and was dodging a stone travelling
under the crane when his foot slipped.
Almost instantly the stone brought up
against the mans head and for the mo-
ment il was squeezed between two pieces
of granite. Other workmen hurried to
his assistance and Supt. Frank ID. Sat-
tell was one of the first TO reach his
side. Blood was streaming from both
ears and the shock caused the Jumper to
lose consciousness.
Alert "hello" girls at the telephone
central expedited the work OF assembling
Drs. j. W. Stewart and William Me-
Farland and the Perry & Noonan am.
bulance on the stoneshed premises and
Mr.. Bombard was removed to his home,
being transferred later 10 the City hos.
pital. He recovered consciousness before
leaving the meadow and as the afternoon
wore on his condition did not seem so Sc
rious as at first. Outward marks OF
the accident did not cause apprehension
among the physicians, but the flow OF
blood from both ears was taken as an
symptom and it was re-
marked that very often such a symptom

if such exists, must have de-
reloped near the base Of the brain. When
lsked concerning the gravity Of the ac

o reserve decision until they had had /
IN opportunity to examine the mans
