Rumors today had it that nothing
absolutely definite and final had yet
been reached on, which to base a full re-
port by the committee for a mass meet-
ing tomorrow. It was said to be not
improbable that the committee would
seek more time. On the other hand, it
also said to be a possibility that a par-
tial report would be submitted for in-
dorsement of the meeting.
Information available today seemed
to give the impression that negotiations
for candidates were still pending.

New York, March 10—Judging from
the tone of the market at today’s
opening, the decision of the president
to arm merchantmen and call an extra
session of congress meets with general
approval in financial circles. Initial
prices were higher by fractions to al-
most 2 points, shippings scoring great-
est gains. Industrials of the class rep-
resented" by United States Steel also
made favorable response, advancing a
point or more ,on heavy dealings.
Eduipments, including motors, were
materially higher, also coppers and
such specialties as Central Leather, the
paper group, Mexican Petroleum and
American Zinc. Bethlehem Steel soon
rose 2% points. Rails dragged as
usual, except Reading, which rose half
a point.
According to the police blotter, Gus
Erickson, a fireman from the yacht
Casiana, slipped and fell to the floor
at a roming house on Market street
between Tremont and Twenty-fourth

man is in the Sealy hospital.
Between 9 and 10 o’clock this morn-
ing fire slightly burned the roof of a
grocery store at 3727 Winnie street, ac-
cording to fire' department officials.
There was small damage.
Chief of Police Sedgwick this morn-
ing said that no action would be taken
in the case of , an alleged violation of

Director William C. De Lanoy of the
. federal bureau of war risk insurance
has issued a circular in explanation of
the manner of issuing insurance onves-
- sels at belligerent ports for the home-
ward voyage. The letter, received by
’ BCollector Pabst this morning, is as fol-
lows:
"I beg to advise of new ruling effec-
tive on and after today (March 6), viz:
“That insurance for such voyages
will be accepted at any time not prior
to 15 days before the vessel sails on
her outward voyage, nor later than
time of sailing from attachment port.
Such insurance to attach from the
completion of discharge of outward
cargo, with stipulation at the time of
accepting risk that in event of the ves-
sel being in port of departure for more
than 15 days after completing dis- .
charge of outward cargo an additional
premium shall be paid if required by
the bureau.
“Quotations will be made subject to
48 hours acceptance.”

3 o’clock this afternoon from the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Moors, 2128
Broadway, Rev. M. S. Chataignon, offi-
ciating. From the residence, the re-

Five Deportations Monday,
United States Immigration Inspector
Daniel Trazivuk will leave Galveston
Monday in charge of five alien pris-
oners who have been’ ordered deported
through Laredo as undesirables. Joe
Semunovich will accompany Mr. Trazi-
vuk as a special attendant to assist in
caring for the prisoners.
IMMEDIATE DELIVERY.
Galveston will have a second Clean-
up Day. It will be Monday. Dr. Wal-
ter Kleberg, city health officer, so an-
nounced this morning.
The health officer said that the de-
partment would haul on Monday, the
same as today, all tash nd refuse
properly assembled and placed, and all
that is necessary to have a garbage
call is a telephone message to the
health department.
The idea in extending the clean-up
I campaign for another day is this: The
state health officer issued his proclama-
tion designating March, 10 as Clean-up
Day in Texas only a few days before
that date. Very little time was given
to advertise the day or to get ready
for its observance. So Galveston will
have two clean-up days.
There was some evidence of Clean-up
Day today, however. The health de-
partment got a number of. calls from
persons who wanted wagons to call
for refuse or trash. Dr. Kleberg says
the city is fairly/ clean, anyway.
Officials and civic bodies urge, par-
ticipation in the clean-up campaign to-
day and Monday, that, if for no other
reason, Galveston may get on its “glad
rags” in anticipation of the summer
visitors. •

There Are No ’Reports of ‘ Valuables
Having' Been Taken.
Chief of City Detectives Dave Henry
says it was reported to him yester-
day-that several offices in the Marine
building, southwest corner of Twenty-
first and Mechanic streets, were burg-
larized the preceding night. Strange
to say, however, ■ according to Mr.
Henrys report, apparently nothing was
missing as a result of the alleged en-
tering of the offices, although desks
were reported broken open.
One of the offices entered was that
of U. Muller and company. N U. Muller
Clyde Barfoot, the elusive, showed up
at Pirate headquarters today, as did
also Luther Stuart, the fleet young Tn-
fielder who hails from Guilford col-
lege, North Carolina. Reports of
Pitcher Ba'rfoot being a holdout were
set at rest by the arrival of the popu-
lar twirler today. Both he and Stuart,
who played at second base last season,
are favorites with local fans.
Barfoot’s arrival- makes four pitchers
in camp now, the other three being
Karr and Couchman of last year’s list
and Cole, the recuit who was trying
out with Houston before he came here.
There are three infielders on hand, not
counting. Manager Sentell himself.

creased shipments, while there was cov-
ering by shorts and also local trade
buying by near months. The market
opened firm at an advance of 12 to 15

If you insist on carrying on war you
must see that the people are adequately
fed. * * * Does it not suffice for
the government to incur the. hatred of
the whole world, or do they also want
revolution at home? 1 The people have
been fed on fine words long enough;
we demand deeds.”
The Vorwaerts says that Herr Hofer
was frequently cheered. Elsewhere the
paper says that it has latterly received
numerous complaints of the poor qual-
ity. and preparation of the food sup-
plied in the popular food kitchens at
midday, and declares that the evening
meals in these places are unfit for con-
sumption. The Vorwaerts asks what
will be the condition in summer if this
is the case in the present cold weather?
The Vorwaerts contains the follow-
ing passage from Herr Hofer:
“The mortality among elderly people
is increasing at a terrible rate, while
epidemics are spreading everywhere,
owing to the decreased powers of re-
sistance. The situation is much more
serious than has been admitted. The

London, March 10.—Summing up the
case of the four prisoners on trial
charged with conspiring to murder
Premier Lloyd-George and Arthur Hen-
derson, member of the war council,
S. H. Riza, a Mohammedan ■ lawyer,
acting for the defendants, startled the
courtroom by suggesting a trial by
ordeal. He referred to the mediaeval
form of judicial' trial in which, in
place of evidence, supernatural aid be
invoked as in a test by fire, water,
poison or other agencies. Attorney
Riza had been endeavoring' to impress
the jury with the alleged sinister sig-
nificance of the failure of the crown
to produce a certain witness against
the four defendants, M»s. Alice Wheel-
don, her two daughters and Alfred
George Mason, husband of one of the
daughters. This person, he said, “who
should have been its principal witness,
is the mysterious secret government
agent known as ‘Gordon.’ ”
1 ' “In the absence of Gordon,” Riza
said, “I suggest the defendants should
have a trial by ordeal.”
The judge was puzzled and said:
“I fear that would be impossible.
It has been abolished. Do you seri-
ously suggest that ladies should walk
over hot ploughshares in order to prove'
their innocence?”
Riza: “I doV
The judge. It is no use submitting
such a suggestion. You are not serious.”
Riza “I do seriously suggest it.”
