BALTIMORE, Md4., July 20.—Pre- pared to leave port at any moment, Capt. Paul Koenig, commander of the German merchant submarine Deutsch. land, put on his uuiform to-day for the first time since he landed hero eleven days ago and for several hours etudied the charts of the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay with Capt. Frederick Hinsch, commander of the North German Lloyd liner Neckar, When Capt. Koonig went aboard the undersea liner he took witn him a duplicate manifest of the ship's cargo. Another copy was ready to be taken to the Custom House. Capt. Koenig said he would not; leave his ship again and Indicated an early departure, but said nothing that ‘would give an ‘Jeo just when the sub- ~omeralble would leave. H _ @ngines and submerging machinery had been given a final test and were | found to be in perfect condition, A gale sweeping the Capes kept allied warships well out to sea this morning, as the submarine was ready for a quick dash for the open, The crew does not share the con- fidence of their commander, Capt. Paul Koenig, who has sald he could leave openly with hostile warships outside the three-mile limit, and still have no trouble escaping. Bhore leave was cancelled last “hight for the men. At 11 o'clock the Bparn of the submarine were taken down and the conning tower closed, At 9.80 all lights had been doused, The tug Thomas J, Timmins was mearby with a full head of steam, and numerous launches of the com- pany with agents and patrols aboard kept near, At 11,05 a newspaper Jaunch was hailed and an effort made to have the reporters leave, “You are interfering with our plans," they were told.

In October, 1915, Mr. Rocke~ feller secured an injunction to prevent tax collections on his Cuyahoga County holdings and the county has filed an appeal in the United States Circuit Court. Furthermore, It has been discovered that the Rockefeller fortune is grow- ing so rapidly that the possessor cannot dispose of his income, One of the amazing features of the im- menae fortune is that stock fuctua- tlons increase or decrease the total by as much as @ million dollars a day, The fortune is said to have in- creased tremendously since June, The Rockefellers, father and son, have given away fully $200,000,000 gince 1910. Since the outbreak of the European war the Rockefeller Foundation has given away about $10,000,000 for relief work. Of the enormous total of the Rock- efeller fortune nearly $500,000,000 represents Mr, Rockefeller’ holdings |in the various Standard Oil com- panies and thelr subsidiaries, He holds approximately 247,962 shares out of a total of 883,383 shares issued in all of the companies, The stock ts now quoted around $1,700, about three times what it was before the Federal courts issued the order dissolving the | corporation, oe SLAYER WOULD STARVE.

The police also have made further efforts to ascertain whether she was alone in her office on Monday night. An analysis of the young woman's organs was being made to-day by a chemist to determine the nature of the Poison that caused her death.
