THIS IS BIG BETTING,
$62, ,5OO to $o5,OOO That Hylan Beats
 Mitchell in New York.

New York, Oct 1s.-The biggest bet thus far reported on the mayor atty contest was made in Wall Street yesterday, when William Darnell who had made a cleanup" on the White Sox victory, wagered $62,500 against $25, 5,0OO-2z to that Hylan will defeat Mitchell. Darnell declined to say for whom he was acting, but he often represents customer of Arthur Lipper & Go.
 Street rumor had it that James Field, big stock trader, had taken the Mitchell end of the bet, that Field said he "did not know anything about 1t personally" He would not deny, however, that the wager had been made
 Apart from this, most of yesterdays s betting in the financial district was at odds of to 1 in favor of Hylan against the field. Percy Guard, on the curb. placed $5,0OO at those odds and had an additional $5,000 to wager the same way. He had s1,00O to bet on the mayor against s2,50o.
 Hillquit played a much more prom lnent part in the Wall Street betting than any other socialist who has run TOT office. One curb broker offered to lay $5,000 against $25,o that the socialist beats Mitchell, while another made small wager at odds of 1 to that Hillquit will get more votes than Hylan.
 J. J. Cronin, 8 Tammany man from the sixteenth assembly district, of- 1ered $3,000 even that Hi1lquit will not receive 5,O6o votes in the en- tire city.
 A bet of $1,000 even was made that bennett beats Mitchell in Kings county.

 Used As Army Rations.
 New York, Oct. 19.-The use of cold storage eggs as army rat1ons will be suggested to the government it was learned today, by representa- tives of the butter and egg exchanges of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York and the Mercantile Ex- change of New York. A committee consisting of one member of each Of these markets plans to go to Washing ton with the further suggestion that the federal food officials fix price which would be on the usual basis Of cost plus 10 per cent.
 Chicago packers are said to own millions of cold storage eggs for which there is no demand because the supply today greatly exceeds the SUD- ply which existed at the time the eggs were put aside.
 The holdings are said to be 13.2 per cent greater than a year ago in 44o storage warehouses throughout the country. Their market value today IS considerably less than when they were put in storage and wholesalers are said to be facing millions of dollars III losses unless a cost-plus price is fixed arbitrarily by the government. 1t was pointed out today that action making these eggs an army ration would take care of the over-supply.

Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. 9.-With a
Bible as his platform and sermons
as his political speeches, Sydney j.
Cats, just inaugurated governor of
Florida, stands today the most unique
figure in an American gubernatorial
chair. A reformer of the new school,
a prohbitionist with new drastic
ideas, a former minister of the gos-
pei who hasn't forsaken his relig-
ion. Cats entered the state house
after fighting Florida's most strenu-
Gus political battle, defeating the
regular nominee of the Democratic
party by pitting biblical quotations
against mudslinging.
His Bible will remain on the gov
ernor's desk until his term ends four
years hence. and to it ne will turn
for counsel, rather than to political
advisers, so Cats declares. 81 have

WAS U-53'S VISIT A THREAT
philadelphia Public Ledger

philadelphia Public Ledger
Viewed in the light Of subsequent
events, may not the visit of the Ger
man submarine U-53 to Newport last
October have had an ulterior motive
behind the obvious one? The mer-
chant submarine Deutschland had
previously crossed the Atlantic on a
presumably peaceful and legitimate
errand. If it's exploit was intended
also as an incidental hint that what
ship of peace had done ship of
war could do. the American people
as a whole did not take it as such
on the contrary, they paid ample tri-
butte to the enterprise and daring of
commander and crew. Nor, though
the U-53 was ship of war on war
like errand, that of sinking both bel
ligerent and neutral ships at our
very doors, was the implied threat
to ourselves taken very seriously.
There was irritation at this effort
to tie up our commerce, there was
humiliation at the part our naval
vessels played in permitting such de-
struction of property and peril of
life; but the Government did not bar
armed submarines from our harDors,
in consequence, as some other neutral
governments did, and, in our easy
good nature we allowed the incident
to blow over without even protest.
Was this demonstration of the effec-
veness of the submarine weapon
three thousand miles from the Ger
man coasts intended as a menace ?
Did Germany wish us to realize the
danger to ourselves if we interfered
with her campaign of frightfulness ?
That may we'll be t!a case. Ger
many has done nothing in this war
on impulse. The act which forced
break in diplomatic relations was
deliberately planned, as every prev
ious act had been. Thus the invasion
of Belgium was an integral of Ger.
man strategy, All the cruelties per,
petrated there and in other conquered
regions were sanctioned by military
orders. All the crimes at sea were
committed in cold blood. The visit

of Nearly $4,000 With Which to
Equip New Building.
The regular monthly meeting of
the board of lady managers, of the
city hospital was held at the hospital
yesterday morning and was largely
attended, with the president, Mrs.
Ballenger, in the chair

treasurer, MIR. Arthur Herbert, was
read. Everything was found in good
shape, and the reports of the super
intendent and accountant were also
submitted and accepted
During the past month the hospi-
tai has been very busy and is Sc
crowded now that even the parlor
is occupied lA large number of free
cases have been treated and so many
dispensary dressings and medicine:
used. Owing to the increased cost of
drugs and medical supplies all this
is heavy tax upon the hospital.
Mr.. Worth Hulfish appeared be-
fore the board and notified them Of
a letter he had received as presi
dent of the board of trustees, from
Miss Margaret V. Smith, presenting
the new hospital with complete fur
nishings and equipment for the op-
Grating room, all of the most mod
ern and up-to-date. appliances.
This magnificent gift was accepted
most gratefully. by the board OF lady
managers and they expressed their
delight by, a rising vote Of thanks,
their corresponding secretary, beng
instructed to write Miss Smith, at
once.
The new building is progressing
rapidly and the subject of endowed
and memorial rooms and beds was
finally decided upon. All this will
appear in the annual report of the
hospital which will be issued shortly
and distributed in the churches as
customary.
1t will cost a large sum to furnish
and fit up the new hospital in proper
way and the board looks to everyone
in Alexandria white and colored, to
helm in this vast undertaking.

in the car. 1t occurred t. Mr..
Moore that the machine might be
that which belonged to Mr.. Richard
son, and he entered an auto and
followed closely in the wake Of the
suspects. Upon nearing the High
way Bridge, and after satisfying
himself that the two men did not in
tend to turn off in another direc-
ton, he opened up his machine and
passed them. Upon reaching Wash

two men who follown,. closely in his
wake were stopped aid tiey and The

of Mr.. Richardson's office, and had
proceeded south as far as Cnappa-

could get no farther, concluded to re-
turn to Washington.

ged having stolen d Thanler car
