U. S. MARSHAL CAUSES STIR
Charges Some Brooklyn Officials
Are Friendly to Kaiser.

NEW YORK, March IA sensa
ton was caused at a meeting OF
Democrats of the twenty-third assem-
bly, district, Brooklyn, when United
States Marshal James N. Power
charged in a speech that a number
OF men holding positions in Brooklyn
borough departments are frankly
friendly to the Kaiser. He asserted
that he purposed to obtain names and
lay them before the mayor and de
partment heads.
"These men believe they are safe in
their civil service positions" said Mr..
Power, but IL were at the head of
the departments in which they are EN-.
plOyed should not hesitate to dismiss
them without ceremony"
The marshal said he knew of no
evidence of anti-American plotting by
the employees. Borough President
Pounds and Sheriff Riegelmann ex-
pressed the belief that there was no
basis for Mr.. Powers charges.

ZEPPELIN BAGGED
IN FRENCH TOWN
Returning Raider Shot Down
From Eleven Thousand
Feet in Air.

PARIS, March 17.-From IL 900 feet
in the sky, French anti-aircraft gun
ners today at Compiegne brought
down in blazing fury, giant German
Zeppelin, one Of a fleet returning from
a raid on England.
1t fell in one Of the main streets OF
the city, a charred mass. Two or
three of the crew, mad with pain
from the flames and certain Of death,
jumped thousands OF feet to the earth.
The great Zeppelin broke in two
Just before IL landed.
Despite the earliness of the hour
1t was before dawn that the Zeppelin
alarm sounded-nearly all OF Com
piegne was astir. Thousands gather
ed to chse the marksmen.
Meanwhile the Zeppelins launched
several bombs at the town. No one
was hurt, and the damage was in
significant. The greater peril came
when the blazing mass Of the stricken
Zeppelin shot downward, but no one
was injured.
This is the first raid in which Yep
pelins have participated since the
death Of their inventor.

BRIGHTWOOD ASKS
BETTER SERVICE
Citizens Association to Write
W. R. & E. Co. President on
Car Schedule.

Pointing out that their suburb has
been almost completely cut on from
the city by the street car strike. the
members of the Brightwood Citizens'
Association, at a meeting In the
Brentwood School last night deplored
the fact that the public is not being
given more consideration in the con-
troversy.
The secretary was instructed to ad-
dress a letter to Clarence p. King,
president OF the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, requesting
him to furnish better service on the
Georgia avenue line.
The secretary also was instructed
to address a letter to the District
Commissioners urging them to do all
in their power to restore to the pub
lie normal car service.
John Saul, Charles c. Lancaster,
Jesse L. Ergood. and John c. Proctor
all spoke on the strike situation,
pleading for neither side, but urging
that the public be given, more con-
sideration.
A resolution was adopted urging the
adoption of a law requiring motormen
to undergo a District examination be-
fore being permitted to operate a
car.
A campaign was launched for the
erection of a new twelve-room public
school in Brightwood.
The Commissioners and the Board
of Education will be requested to put
the item for the new school in their
next estimates to Congress. The asso-
citation also will suggest mat the old
school be converted into a police sta
ton.

Tact of Consumers President
Prevents Threatened Trouble
Over Interiection.

A woman's tact prevented the an
nual meeting Of the Consumers
League at Rauscher.s last night from
becoming the scene OF a wrangle over
the questions involved in the street

Just at the close of the meeting the
Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan, Of the Catho-
lie University of America offered

and commencing the strikers.
Murmurs Of Amusement.
There were murmurs Of amazement
from a number Of the members and

err president Of Amherst College and
now a member Of the United States
Board OF Indian Commissioners. said:
81 do not think that this meeting,
which was called for another purpose.
should be marked by any discussion OF
that subject. and furthermore-"
1t was at this juncture that Mrs.
Todd gracefully avoided the threat
ened trouble.
81 am sure we are all interested In
the dispute" she began, beaming on
Father Ryan and Mr.. Gates in turn,
"but / know that everybody has en-
joyed the remarks of Miss Shapiro
and DR.. extraordinarily, who nave
told us of the trials and tribulations
of the women toilers and that we will
all be benefited by what they have
said, and ] want to thank them for
their service to our movement"
Thus waving aside parliamentary
procedure, Mrs. Todd brought the
meeting to q close.

of the United States Public Health

Mouth Harp Strains of
National Anthem Bring Cheers

A little sound will fan patriotism
into a blaze these crucial hours; a
laborer with a jew's-hard may cause
as fine enthusiasm as brass band;
and all because the long-sleeping
spirit of nationalism has revived to
throttle sectionalism, and to show
that America is one.
While car Is, going to Wilk-
insburg, via Oakland and East
Liberty was beginning to be crowded
before the quitting hours, carpenter,
afterward giving his name as Allen
Petersen, of Williamsburg, boarded a
car at Grant street and Fifth avenue,
heading home.
Shortly the strains of a jews s-hard
resounded with "The Wearing of the
Green" Marching Through Georgia"
and then shuttle was heard, and as
many looked around it was seen that
the genius of the mouth harp had
risen to his feet. Those near him saw
him sway broadly, and then "The Star
Spangled Banner" came forth with
newness of melody from the humble
instrument.
Many did not have to rise, as they
were suspended on straps. Every
seated passenger in the car stood up
as the musician played with spirit.
When the national anthem was fin
ished the player said aloud:
That's my number-have you all
got it?
Applause followed, and all who had
risen sat down.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
