w B AShort Lines
Ready for Service

The spur track near Shipley Station,
connecting the Washington. BaIti-
more and Annapolis Shirt Line Elec-
trio Railroads, was completed yes
terday. and. beginning with the
first train this morning, the short
line will operate into Baltimore
over the w. B. and A. tracks, with
terminus at the Liberty and Marion
streets station.
The abandonment of Camden as
the short line terminus will effect
no change in the extent or character
of service of the consolidated lines,
]. ]. Doyle, general manager, an
nounces. Short line trains will op-
crate from the Liberty street station
at 20 minutes after and 10 minutes
before each hour, and W. B. and
Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis trains will continue depar-
lures at 35 minutes after each hour.
An extra accommodation afforded
by the consolidation, which will be
appreciated especially by commuters,
Is that tickets are interchangeable.

can be used on short-line trains
through to Annapolis or to Linthicum
Heights and Intervening points and
vice versa.

Thirty thousand men. women

gram sent to Peter A Drury, presi-
dent of the Merchants Bank, from
the Belfast Labor Council, in Ire
land.
There are thousands Of shipwork-
ers and those in other trades and
dependents out of work, II was said.
Up to recently English, Welsh and
Scotch labor unions have contrib
uted to, a fund to help them but IL
has been found impossible to con-
tinue this, so now appeal to Amer
ican trade unions has been made.
At a meeting of the Irish Execu-
tive Committee here IL was decided
to have speakers address every
trade union in this city in an effort
to secure funds. James ]. o'Brien
and John B. Gleason addressed the

Mrs. Rhodes said that the Board

ISOLATION at dinner in the Raleigh

I'VE have been q foolish people
ever since our beginning, said Col.
Graves. I'VE have always abused

We have In most cases adopted~bit-
terness- and misrepresentation In
our criticism Of these men
A. to Mutual Credits.
"would 1t not be much better for
ourselves, and more human. for us
to be a little more generous with
our credits regarding these men?
The business men are extending
credit rather freely, basing their Is
suance Of credit on the belief that
80 per cent Of the people are honest.
This, in my mind. would be an ad-
mirable. attitude for all Of us to
adopt in regard to our fellow men,"

CATION OF AFFAIR.
WILL BE C0URT-MARTlAlED
No Reply Is Received Yet in Answer
To Note Sent To Japanese Govern
ment-Dispatches Have Been
Received.

Washington. - Lieut.. w. H. Lang.
don, American naval officer, who was
shot and killed by a Japanese sentry
at Vladivostok, January s, was the vic
tim OF an unprovoked attack. dis
patches to the State Department and
to the Navy Department agreed.
Both sets of dispatches were based
on statements elected from the &C
cused sentry by the board Of investiga-
tion and court of inquiry conseneu py
the Japanese government. The SEN
try's statements were described as an
agreement with the ante-mortem story
of the affair by Lieut.. Langdon in that
the sentry was the first to fire. The
sentry, who previously had maintained
that the American officer nred first,
also was reported as having told the
court OF inquiry that he had discharg-
ed his rifle by accident.
The dispatches to the Navy Depart
ment, filed by Admiral Gleaves, com
mander-in-chief TO the Asiatic feet,
now en- route to Vladivostok with an
American naval court of inquiry to
investigate the shooting, added that
the sentry had been recommended for
court-martial by the Japanese authori-
ties.
While the dispatches reported were
more complete than any that had pre-
viously reached Washington, and
while officials expressed qualification
that an agreement had been reached
as to what actually happened, no tend
ency was displayed in official circles
to relax the determination to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly, and for
that reason Admiral Gleaves, with his
court of inquiry, will continue on his
way to the Siberian port. State De-
partment officials also continued to
await a reply to the note sent the Jap
anese government requesting an ex-
PLANTATION Of the incident and assur-
ances that it would not be repeated.
The State Department was informed
in its dispatches that Langdon, who
is described as total abstainer," was
returning to his ship early on the
morning Of January s. using a flash
light in order to pick his way along
an recovered street. The sentry was
on duty before the headquarters of the
Japanese Eleventh Division.

FEAR OF JAPANESE
CAUSES RECRUITING
SENATORS DISCLOSE WHY WAR
DEPARTMENT DEFIES WISHES
OF CONGRESS.

Washington.-The Japanese men.
ace, Democratic senators declared,
was responsible for the defiant atti.
tude Of the War Department toward
the will Of Congress against continued
army recruiting at this time.
In opposing and preventing action
on Senator News resolution to limit
the size Of the army to 175,000 men,
senators disclosed that the War De.
partment has plans for immediate
Strengthening of the garrisons in Ha.
waii, Panama and other important
strategic points in the Pacific.
Danger Of war with Japan was dis.
cussed with reservation by Senator
Phelan Of California, who sought tc
impress upon the Senate that il would
be great mistake now to reduce the
size Of the army. He also urged mill
itary training and inquired what had
become of the agitation for this prin
ciple of national defense.
Senator Fletcher of Florida, told the
Senate without reservation that one OF
the principal reasons for the War De.
partment's action in continuing re.
cruiting despite the attitude of a ma.
jority in Congress against 1t was the
plan to greatly augment the Pacific
garrisons. Adoption of the New reso-
luton to suspend enlistments, he
said, would make it impossible to car.
ry out these plans.
Senator Phelan, supporting the
statement, declared that the defense
of Hawaii "the key to the Pacific"
depended largely upon the Hawaiian
National Guard which, he insisted,
was recruited to a considerable extent
from Japanese of, questionable 10y.
alty.".
The Senate debated the New reso
luton for two hours at the conclusion
Of which, by vote of "a to 20, it was
pushed aside to make way for con.
tinued consideration of the Muscle
Shoals nitrate bill. 1t is probable that
the resolution may be brought up
again.
Meanwhile Senator Wadsworth of
New York declared that the army is
receiving enlistments at the rate of
2,42O daily, at an aggregate cost of
nearly $2,500,00o day to the govern.
ment.
Senator Phelan wanted to know
what had become Of universal military
training. HAS 1t simmered down sim.
ply to military training in the colleges
while we propose to reduce the size of |
he regular army to 175,OO0 men?" he
asked.
