HUNS CONCEAL

Austrians Willing, After De-

Allied capitals look for another
enemy blow soon. Some military
observers believe it will come on the
front between Montdidier and Ypres,

ward indications as to when and
where the German stroke will be
The fighting lull on the western
front is being interrupted with only
raids and local attacks. On the
Italian front the Austrians, reeling
from the shock of the repulse on the
Piave, seemingly are content to al

Engineers Find Old
Vanderbilt Piers Are
Too Weak For P. & r.

Engineers who have examined the
piers of the proposed Vanderbilt
railroad bridge across the Susque-
hanna river at this point report to
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way Company that they will not be
fit for use. The company had an
inspection made as to the possibility
of using them in connection with it's
new bridge over the river here, work
on which is to be started the COM
ing fall.
The piers appear to the eye to be
as good as when first erected but
the pointing has been knocked out
and the workmanship is deteriorat-
ing. 1T has been suggested that pos
sibly they might be used as the
basis of foot and driving bridge.
The city engineer and City Plan
ming Commission will look over the
plans for the bridge before they
are finally adopted in order that un-
marring of the Riverl
Front and downtown street plans
may be prevented.

GERMANY GETS
DEATH NEWS OF
RUSS EMPEROR
Ichltcherin, Russian Foreign
Minister, Wires .Darmstadt
Official of the Murder

Paris, June 2S.-The court mar
shal at Darmstadt, Germany, has re-
ceived a telegram signed "Tchitch-
erin announcing that Nicholas Ro-
manoff, the former Russian emper-
or, has been assassinated, says a dis
patch to the Matin from Borne. The
assassination took place between
Ekaterinburg and Perm.
The dispatch from Berne gives
weight to the increasing number of
reports of the assassination or the
former Russian emperor. Darmstadt
is the capital of the Grand Duchy of
Hesse and the former Empress Alix
is sister of the reigning Grand
Duke. 1t is not unlikely that the
Russian government, through For
eign Minister Tchitcherin would in
form the Hessian court of the death
of Nicholas Romanoff before max
ing it public through regular chan
nels.
London, June 2S.-The Frankfurt
ter Zeitung reports that M. Tchitch-
erin, the Russian foreign minister,
has telegraphed the Russian minis
ter at Darmstadt that the former
Russian emperor was murdered a
few days ago between Ekaterinburg
and Perm, says an Exchange Tele-

is that in the window of the estab-
lishment run jointly by Bailey, Banks
and Biddle, Philadelphia jewellers, who
have Il large trade among the navy
folk, and James \. Welch, whose tail
oring business also caters to the Mid

Flanked by unusually we'll finished

backed by golden folds of silk, is a

aloft the torch which is lighting the
world today The statue done in
handsome bronze is three feet tall, and
an exact replica of the copy of the

recently unveiled in Philadelphia at
the start of the Third Liberty Loan
drive.
The display is an unusually credit
able and artistic one, and has been
most favorably commented upon.

Well Known Citizen And Printer
Honored By Friends Who
Attended Last Rites.

The funeral services of Mr.. Thomas
Knox McNeir took place yesterday
afternoon at o'clock from his resi-
dence, 112 West street, Rev Carl Dud-
ley, of the First Presbyterian Church,
officiating. The minister's remarks
were prefaced by Thou wilt keep
him in perfect peace whose mind is
stayed on Thee" and were touching
and impressive, as was also the sing
ing by his nieces of the beautiful and
appropriate hymns, Asleep in Jesus,
and Nearer, My God To Thee"
The funeral was attended by large
circle of relatives and friends. The
pallbearers were Messrs. Fell, Con
way, Armiger, Crutchley and Wilson,
all members of the International
Typographical Union No. ia, and Mr.
Francis.
The funeral arrangements were in
charge of Mr.. b. F. Hopping, funeral
director.
The flowers were numerous and
beautiful, giving silent evidence of the
popularity of the deceased. The cas-
ket was borne to the grave covered
with floral designs sent from New
York and Chicago by his sisters, Mrs
Charles Hopkins and Mrs. Fannie
Levely.
The remains were placed in the old
McNeir lot by the side of his mother
where he will rest in perfect peace
until the day breaketh and the
shadows fee away"

ANNEXATION IS
GIVEN A JOLT.
Baltimore County Takes Lead In
Checking City's Grab Plans
For Extension.
A. A. CO. TO FOLLOW.
Statistics And Other Data Sought
BY City's Representatives Is
Refused. May Go
To Court.

While Anne Arundel is busily plan
ming her program against the carrying
into effect of the annexation scheme of
Baltimore City, Baltimore County has
already thrown the first monkey
wrench into the City's machinery.
1t developed yesterday that the
County Commissioners of Baltimore
County are blocking moves on the
part of the city to get ready to meet
conditions in the territory to be
brought in under the terms of the an
neXation bill passed by the last Leg
islature. They have fatty turned
down requests for records and other
data the courts and various depart
ments of the municipal government
need at once, in order that the pre-
liminary machinery for taking over
county activities in the annexed ter
ritory might be got ready.
Should the City attempt to force
delivery of the data sought by a man
damus against Baltimore County the
whole matter will at once be thrown
into he courts.
However, because of the difference
in the lines and the contention of this
county that the City most positively
has no right to reach over a water
way like the Patapsco River in her eff
fort at expansion, the two counties
will, in all likelihood, fight their bat
ties separately.
Any application at the local Court
House for figures and data will, it is
understood, be met by a refusal on the
part of the Anne Arundel County Com
missioners to deliver this data.
In seeking information subject to
the fire departments, the Commission
ers of Anne Arundel County were not
communicated with, because there are
no paid companies in the Curtis Bay
and Brooklyn sections. The City will
have to organize and equip fire COM
panies there, and plans to that end
are under consideration. Much of this
territory will be covered by fire boats.
A request of Stephen c. Little, Clerk
of the Superior Court, for data from
Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties
in reference to the number of deeds
and mortgages filed last year was
compiled with by the clerks of the
courts for the counties, but a request
for list of property developers was
not complied with, as Mr.. Little was
informed that such a list was nat al
hand and would take some time to
compile.
Mr. Little wanted the list of prop
erty developers to aid in arranging q
new set of property block books. In
Anne Arundel County the names of q
dozen or more property developers
was given, but it is not complete

PARALYZED WAITING
BARBERSHOP TURN.

Stricken while he was awaiting his
turn in Geracis barber shop on Main

stroke of paralysis which for a time
gave his friends considerable anxiety.
Mr. Butler was taken TO the Emer-
gency Hospital following the attack,
and at the institution this morning it

nicely.
When he went to the barber shop
Mr. Butler was not feeling well, hav-
ing suffered several slight attacks of
numbness during the day.
