have expressed their approval. The
next step will be the decision as to
the date on which the conference
will assemble and the issuing Of for
NAL invitations to the governments
that have been approached. This
question OF date as well as place Of
the conference has been the subject
of good deal Of unofficial discus
sion. 1t has been . rumored that
Great Britain and Japan would re-
quest that the conference on Pacific
questions be held in some place
other than Washington, perhaps on
the Pacific coast of Canada or the
United States. London has also
been suggested as place for pre-
liminary conference. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the confer
ence will not be split up and that
the acceptances OF the. proposals all
ready received include the. acknowl-
edgcment that the conference will
take place in Washington. Novem-
Der II has been frequently mentioned
as the date on. which the conference
will meet, but in order to suit the
convenience of the premiers of the
British dominions, who are obliged
to attend sessions of their parlia-
ments at that time. another date
may be chosen. The conference,
however, is not likely to be post
poned until the spring, as has been
suggested. T.. .., .'@.-.t

MUM MOTOR KILLS
COLUMBIA WOMAN
Miss Josephine Herrnheiser,
40, Run Down Accidentally
by Physicians Car.

Miss Josephine Herrnheiser. 40, a
student of English literature at Co
lumbia University. was run down and
killed by an automobile last night In
st. Nicholas avenue at 144th street
The automobile. the police reported. was
the property of DR.. John p. Mum of
lS West Fifty-eighth street. VINO was
the personal physician of Russell Sage
and Jay Gould and other well known
men Of their day. The physician was
in the machine at the time.
1t was said by the police that Miss
Herrnheiser became confused as she
started across st. Nicholas avenue. A
motor bus was approaching from the
south and she ran out OF It's path only
to step in front of the physicians car.
Eli D. Terwilliger, his chauffeur, ap-
piled the brakes but the machine went
forward far enough to knock the woman
down. She became unconscious imme-
diately.
Policeman Wilson OF the West 1920
street station was only block away
when the shrek of the machines brakes
drew snis attention to the accident. AS
soon as he saw the condition OF the
woman he realized she needed medical
attention too badly to wait for the ar
rival OF an ambulance surgeon. Instead
OF waiting he stopped taxicab and
with Terwllliger's help lifted her into II.
She was driven at top speed to Harlem
Hospital in the hope that an immediate
operation might have her. While the
surgeons were preparing to examine her
she died.
Terwilliger who has been DR.. Munn's
chauffeur for many years. was arrested
on technical charge of homicide. The
arrest was merely a formality. It was
understood. as there were witnesses who
said he had done everything IN bis power
10 avoid the accident DR.. Mum OBJ
tanned his release by giving the house
adjoining his own-that at 20 West
Fifty-eighth street-as security for the
mans appearance in court to-day.
Miss Herrnheisers body was identified
through Colum bia University registra-
ton cards found in her purse. At the
university 1t was said she was enrolled
in the extension courses and was special
izing in English literature.
AS result OF the shock OF seeing his
car run down Miss Herrnheiser Or. Mum
was unnerved. He is advanced N years
and retired from practice.

REJECTED RECTOR
SUES FOR $4,000
Rev. Z. j. Baird Asserts Mill
brook Church Cost Him
Life Position.

Trial OF the suit brought by the Rev.
Edward ]. Baird of SO Monroe place.
Brooklyn. against the vestry and war
dens of Grace Church at Millbrook.
Duchess county. N. Y. for the recovery
OF $4,000 damages was begun yesterday
before Supreme Court Justice Faber in
Brooklyn.
DR.. Baird testified that after he was
called formally to the pulpit of the
church he accepted the call, but the de-
PENDANTS thereafter failed to take the
steps necessary to enable him to qualify
as rector.
DR.. Baird charged that his selection
was regarded favorably by the congre-
cation generally. but an Influential and
wealthy group objected 10 him. He said
he lost an honorable life position and
therefore was entitled to damages.
The defendants in answer set up that
DR.. Baird's wife. Clara ]. Baird, di-
vorced him in 1919 in Oklahoma on the
grounds of cruelty and that in that suit
he was charged with conduct unbecom-
ing clergyman. DR.. Baird, according
10 the papers filed. denied his wife's
charges. but did not appear to defend
himself. against them.
Part, of the evidence yesterday con-
sisted Of letters which passed between
George II. Bannister. clerk of the vestry
of the church. and the late Bishop David
Fl. Greer. In letter to the Bishop,
dated May 7. 1918. Mr.. Bannister stated
that the vestry had passed resolution
to call DR.. Baird.
Bishop Greer replied that he could not
approve of calling DR.. Baird because he
had learned from several parishioners
upon whose support the church largely
depends that DR.. Baird Is not satisfac-
tory to them"
The trial is being continued.

NEW HUNT CLUB
OUT TO BAG SAVAGE DOGS
Residents at Tip Of Manhattan Are Tired of Preyng
Pack and With Shotguns Intend to Stop Slaughter
of Their Domesticated Pets.

Wild dogs which have been chewing
UP domesticated CANNES in the Inwood
section around 21Sth street and Seaman
avenue for several months have been
making SO much noise lately. uttering
such ear shattering howlings and yowl-
ings, that the people of Inwood decided
to do something about 1t. They already
rad tried the police. the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and
all sorts of agencies. but got no relief.
Last night they held a meeting and
adopted resolutions.
For fear the resolutions. though
strongly worded. might not be taken any
more seriously by dogs than they usually
are by humans. the residents of Inwood
decided to use shotguns also. Posses
will be organized. shotguns oiled and
loaded to the muzzles clubs polished for
the slaughter. and pretty soon the kill
ings will be in full swing.
The pack of dogs first attracted public
attention last May, when 1t came down
out of the woods and carried away pet
The New York herald., 1921-11-08

pup which was the pride and blessed
comfort Of a little boy. The police
started after the dogs. but the animals
ran back into the woods and were not
seen again for some time. Then they
began to appear again. or late they
seem to have picked out the homes Of
the persons who hate them most. and
under the windows of these homes they
gather for their nightly serenades and
concerts.
Last Sunday night the pack added
the soul of collie 10 its collection. and
the Inwood people say they never heard
such howlings and goings on In their
lives. 1t is believed that the collie bit
the head wild dog and that the head
wild dog expressed his opinion Of a
domesticated canine which resisted cap
ture by the savages.
III. Hodgekins Siverthorne, one Of the
most bitter enemies the dogs have. said
the animals howled from midnight 20
two o'clock. when the collie finally gave
UP the fight and the dogs went back to
their wooded fastnesS.
