BUSINESS MEN DISAGREE:
WITH Commissioners
Committee From Seventy Concerns
to Meet to Discuss Attitude on Use
of Parkings and Sidewalks.

A meeting of a committee REPRESENT
ing seventy business concerns of Wash
ington was held yesterday afternoon at
the Continental Trust Company to de-
termine their attitude toward the posi-
ton recently taken by the District
Commissioners that occupation of
parking and sidewalk space by bust
ness concerns must cease.
The committee, which is composed Of
]. A. Burkart, W. A. H. Church and W.
T. Galliher, with Frank S. Bright as
counsel, decided to hold conference
tomorrow afternoon at 2:3o o'clock
with Maj. Pullman. superintendent OF
police, to bring to his attention the act
Of Congress of February 2, 1904. This
law specifies that the Commissioners
are authorized and directed to denomi-
nate portions Of streets as business
streets, and to authorize the use or
portions of such streets for business
purposes by AUDITING property owners.
Many Are Theoretical Parkings.
At the meeting yesterday 1t was
pointed out that the parkings which
the Commissioners desire business
houses to cease using are IN many
cases theoretical parkfngs, that ~
they are provided for on District maps,
but are not actual parkings, and that
they are not needed by the general
public when it is considered that d,
parking on business streets Is twenty
feet wide and sidewalk twenty feet
wide in addition.
Mai Pullman will be told by the COM
mittee tomorrow. IT was understood
today, that unless the District Com
missioners change their attitude to-
ward space on business streets now be-
ing used by Washington business men,
many of them will be forced TO remove
from their present locations, as space
ie needed for the conduct Of their bust
ness. Some concerns might be forced
out Of business, or to go as far
away from business Washington as
Anacostia, a move which would be
prohibitive from a business point of
view

was too vast and too briefly indicated
for the immediate specialization of
opinion.
The most important Of these points
foreshadowed by the premier was the
general mobilization of labor for war
and the vital industries. Mr. Lloyd George
indicated he meant to begin with vol
untary plan, and that if this failed
he would ask parliament to give the
government compulsory powers to
place all the labor of the state at it's
services His proposal, therefore. fol-
lows somewhat on the line of the Ger

When Mr.. Lloyd George invited the la
Dor re- representatives to join his cabinet
this scheme was put before them. but
they deferred Judgment until details
were given to them. While expressing
the opifion that after compulsory mill
tary service Industrial CONSUMPTION Is
not imp acticable, the labor leaders are
dubious as to its success, feeling the
outcome depends entirely on how the
workmen take it II there is hostility
in the rank and file of organized labor
the schem e. they believe, will fail.

NAME OF EMPEROR WILLIAM NAY
BE BROUGHT IN CASE INvOLv.
ING MASTER SPY"


| Washington, November ls--Arrange-
ments for the prosecution ct Karl
Armgaard Graves, sclf-styled Mas
ter Spy" and magazine writer, who
was arrested here yesterday on a
charge that he attempted to extOrt
$4,000 from Countess Won Bcrnstorff,
wife of the German Ambassador, will
be completed tomorrow at confer
encc between agents OF the Depart
nrnt of Justice, representatives of the
District Attorneys Office and Prince
Hatfield, Counsellor of the German
Embassy
The name OF Emperor William of
Germany may be brought into the case
indirectly as result of this confer
ence Diplomatic representative in a
foreign country can not divert himself
of his immunity from giving testimony
without special permission from his
sovereign. As Graves conversed solely
with Prince HIatzfeldt, it may be that
the District Attorneys office will de-
tcrmine that his testimony is essential.
II is not expected that either Coun-
tess Won Bcrnstorff or the German
Ambassador will be requested to APP
pear against Graves. The warrant was
sworn out by A. Bruce Bielaski, chief
OF the Bureau of Investigation of the
Department of Justice, as the COM
planning witness.
The warrant is made out OH two
counts. One charges attempt to ex-
tort, penalty for which is five years
Imprisonment or a fine of $1,000 or
both. The other charges that Graves
brought into the District of Columbia
letters obtained by theft, the penalty
for this offensc being nearly as severe
as for the first one.
The letters for which Graves is al
legged to have asked $4,000 remained
in the possession of agents of the De-
partment of Justice today. The Ger
man Embassy is familiar with their
contents and is understood to have
agreed that they be kept by the prose-
cutting officials as evidence.
The German Embassy is most anx-
ious to learn how Graves obtained the
letters which he is alleged to have
thought would "embarrass" Countess
Won Bernstorff if made public. II is
considered unlikely, however. that in
formation on this point can ne OBJ
tanned unthe the steamship Oscar H.,
upon which Graves declares they were
brought to the United States, returns
to New York.
Graves was in New York today. He
left Washington late last night after
his release on $4,000 bail saying he
to secure counsel before re-
turning for his preliminary hearing
Wednesday morning.

How to Take a Sun Bath.

To get the maximum benefit from
sun baths a regular formal routine
should be followed.
The first exposure to the suns rays
should not be longer than 10 minutes.
The head should be shaded, while as
much of the rest of the body as posi-
BILE should be barred to the healing rays.
The best time is about two hours after
a meal. On the next day and on sue
ceeding days longer exposures are al
lowed, increasing as tanning takes
place. With little care all acute burn
ing or blistering Of the skin is avoided.
After the skin has been fully tanned
two or more baths day may be taken.
While sufferers from chronic tubercu-
lar disease and anaemia make up the
bulk of the patients at the numerous
established sun cure sanatoria on the
continent, the treatment will be fouhd
to have noticaably bracing and in
vigorating effect on those generally run
down and ebilitated.-London Mail.
