The orders were obeyed with spirit, though not a few policemen got t Qs good as they cave. The rioters eff down the avenue as soon as the stones in hand were exhausted and Began building new barricades near Mwell Avenue, near ‘the Lebanon f tal. Warned of the nearness of the sick people in the hospital, they fmoreased their disorder, according to the police. ‘The Morrisania reserves cought up with them just as tho Simpson Street eserves came up in the rear, And ence again, according to spectators, , the police “fanned ‘em good and plenty” until there were no more trou- ble makers in sight.

BALTIMORE, July 2. — The Deutschland prepared to-day to take on @ pilot from the Maryland Pilots’ Association, but that organization said Owen Coleman, who brought her up river, was out of town, and not immediately available for service. While Capt. Zack Cullison of the tug Timmins wants Coleman, the rules of the association require that vessels take “tho first man out"”—the first man on the pilot Hat, A twenty-four-hour crew is aboard the Timmins, giving the Impression that the stay of the Deutschland is not long and that when she does head out she may plan a layover in the lower bay before trying to run the allied patrol, Watchers aboard the German eub- marine freighter Deutschland want to see the ships of England go. They fear that @ plan ts afoot to have vessels in ballast in the harbor follow the Deutschland out to the Capes and “accidentally” ram her, This would save the allied patrol a big task, and, as one of the Germans put it, the Britisher could say, "Oh, I beg »ardont I will pay you dam- ages.” This foar ts believed to have been the compelling motives behind orders t» delay the Doutschland’s departure, Tho Bremen, however, ls @ vital factor, Stories that she has been ca, tured brought the comment from a Deutschland official to-day: “Bab, she is not lost until three or four weeks.” And, he added that the Deutschland’s sister shtp ia too clever to fall into the meshes of the allied patrol, Canadian Gove ture of Sab OTTAWA, Ont, De %8.—The Naval July partment denied to-day that there ts any foundation for the story published in New York that the German super- submarine Bremen has been captured and taken into Hallfa: Killed 4 ‘a, July —Two miners were Killed and eight others injured to- no which they were of the ‘Peansyl- mine cars, oe Working.

Y., in April, 1916, A pathetic appeal for a further re- Prieve was made to the Governor by year-old daughter of Gtielow, who declared her father was at home on the night of the double murder and could not have had any part In the crime. Stielow's wife and two other of his children added their pleadings for the condemned man and Lawyer David A. White of Buffalo, Sticlow'e attor- ney, “made a presentation of new de- velopments in the case, but Gov. Whitman said he could not act. The Governor ruled that the little girl's evidence was corroborative and threw no new light on the crime, A claim made by Lawyer Wright that Stielow was mentally deficient did hot impress Whitman, Mrs, Sticlow and her children were brought to Albany from their home up-state by Lawyer White with money contributed by convicts in Sing Sing. The fellow prisoners of Btielow collected $40 in an effort to express thelr sympathy for the con- demned man, They sent this money to White saying it would help pay the fare of the mother and little ones to Sing Sing to pay a last farewell to the husband and father, After to-day'’s hearing Lawyer White with the Sticlow family took ® train south to Sing Bing.
