r-4' UQCTuHN CHARGE OF HOSPITAL SHIP Will Command if iVIetcalf Can Secure Crew From Mer chant Marine. . JUST FOR EXPERIMENT If Success, Snrjreons Will Command All Hospital Ships--IIale Takes Up Cudgels for Brown son in Dispute. WASHINGTON. Dec. 27 The orders assigning Surgeon Charles F. Stokes to the command of the hospital ship Relief are expected to 'be signed very soon, it having been definitely decided, according to Secretary Metcalf. to appoint him to that position. With this end in view, ;every effort will be made to obtain a merchant crew and master for the vessel. Falling to man the Relief with a crew from the merchant marine, the enlisted force of the Navy will be drawn on and a line officer assigned as captain. In .which case he "will have command. The scheme of having a medical officer command the Relief in the event that a merchant crew is secured, is to have a trial for at least six months and, if the experiment proves satisfactory, then the expectation Is that the assignment of a Burgeon to command hospital ships will be a permanent feature of naval adminis tration. , Loses, but Can Stand It. Admiral Brownson's relinquishment of his position as chief of the Bureau of Navigation will result In a considerable loss of pay to the officer. It so happens, however, that Admiral Brownson Is a man of independent means and able to disregard financial conditions In taking his stand as champion of the line in the present battle with the staff. The formal order detaching Rear-Admiral Brownson from duty as Chief of ,ne Bureau of Navigation was made public today. The same order detaches h.m from membership In the Joint Army and Navy Board. .. Senator Hale, chairman of the commit tee on naval affairs, voiced frankly his attitude towards the resignation of V-d-mtral Brownson as chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Hale Champions Brownson. "t think that Admiral Brownson . . as acted with praiseworthy courage . and promptness in tendering his fr'signatlcn," said Mr. Hale. When asked for his r . sons for the position taken, Mr". Hale replied: "They are entirely in the interests of discipline. Think what might happen If the command of the vessels should be turned over to a chaplain, or even to a paymaster, and It is just as reasonable to put the crews of a naval fleet under the charge of these officers as it is to place them under the command of a surgeon. "Evidently Admiral Brownson recog nizes this fact and, being a man of char acter and decision, he Hid not hesitate to resign his position, when, as the active head of navigation, his view of the law and of the best policy in the Interests of the service was overruled. He will not lose anything by his manly course, either in the Navy or with the public." RECEIPTS FROM PUBLIC LAND Oregon Gets $74,011 for Quarter Eliding in September. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.

Dec. 27. Bands of mi gratory mendicants and hundreds of unemployed workmen from other cities are pouring into New York, and the in rush of dependents on the municipality has developed a situation which the charitable Institutions are unable, to meet. Hundreds of applicants for clothing, food and lodging are being turned away daily by philanthropic in stitutions, and to consider these ex traordinary conditions . an informal meeting was held today by representa tives of 20 charitable organizations. The records showed that hundreds of applications for aid came from those who had come here from other cities, and plans were discussed to stem the rush of mendjeants. While no decisive action was taken, it was the sense of the meeting that the Department of Charities should provide an adequate work test in connection with its treat ment of lodgers. It was suggested that each person who desires a night s lodging, should spend a short time at the stone quarry on Blackwell's Island. Officers of the municipal lodging-house report . that between December 1 and December 23. 23a3 persons were re fused lodging because of the inability to accommodate the applicants.- WEALTHY MAN A SUICIDE Henry F.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27. Real estate agents from Brooklyn went into the crowded tenement house district on the East Side of Manhattan today and tried to do missionary work in their own interests by urging the' tenants who are now engaged in a crusade for tower rents to move to Brooklyn. But activity of outsiders did not seem to disturb the local real estate owners and agents. Some of them id that the Kast Sider is a clannish -creature and likes to associate with the friends and neighbors whom he had known since his arrival from Europe. "A majority of them come.risht here from the steamers that bring them over, or from the immigrant station," he said. "They stay here. too. until such time as they have earned their little) piles and can move elsewhere." Socialists Not Connected. At the Socialist party headquarters on Grand street, it was learned today that the evictions which have been made since the rent-strike- was decided upon have no real connection- with them. Such evictions are for failure to pav rent for f-the present and p:Et. months. The crucial j point,-will come, if at all, when the col-' I lectors make their January calls. 1 here were tenement house meetings on almost every block tonight. For the most part these were impromptu gatherings, without any attempt at organization but each was marked by many declarations of war against the landlords. Some Advocate Resistance. Many of the tenants were of the opinion that their end could be best ' accom plished by resisting attempts to collect present rents and affording shelter to persons evicted. There were others who favored more drastic measures, and many tenants discussed a combined stand against the marshals in the event of evictions. ' rv, Pauline Newman, who is reputed to be the woman leader ' of the strike move ment. Is In favor of moderation; she has told the women associated with her that they can hope to win by united action it they are careful to keep within the law, and that the landlords, if a united front is presented to them, will be bound to yield rather than tight thousands of dis possessed cases in the municipal courts. Great Advance In Rents. Rents in the tenement-houses, it is said, have practically doubled within, the last three years and have advanced 20 tier cent within the last year. .To make the bad matter worse, the heads of thousands of families are out of employment now .on account of the cutting down. by vari ous employing firms and factories. Owners of buildings are relentlessly evicting tenants who refuse to pay, as rapidly as possible, and many dispossess notices were tacked upon doors all over the district yesterday and more will be served today. The landlords say that un der no circumstances will they make any reduction in the rents and several of them announce that they will close the tenements rather thau reduce the vents. Chicago Is Sympathizing. CHICAGO. Dec. 27. The possibility that residents In the congested districts of the West Side might emulate the lower East Side In New. York City, and Ilke-' ,wise call a "rent strike," was duly dis cussed in the Ghetto yesterday. About 70 people held a meeting last Saturday at which plana for the organization of a "Union of Tenants" were made. ..: That rents are higher in the Ghetto than anywhere else In the dry is admit ted even by the landlords, who say this is the Inevitable result of "congestion." MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED Identity of Young; Woman Found Dead In Pond Not Revealed. NEW YORK. -Dec. 27. The mystery surrounding the circumstances .of the murder of the unknown woman whose body was found nearly submerged in a pond in the outskirts of Harrison. N. "J., appears no nearer Solution tonight than when the body was discovered. The theory on which the detectives are now working is that the woman came to her death In Newark and that her body was carried to the lonely pond so that the real scene of the crime and the identity of the slayer might be concealed. Evidence was found today that the woman was seen in Newark on Christ mas eve by William Snyder, a carpenter, who stated, after seeing the body, that the young woman had Bpoken to him in Newark on the night before' Christmas and asked him to be directed to a res taurant. He said the woman told him that she was a stranger. : DEAD BODIES .IN DEBRIS Great Mass Found In Darr Mine. Over ' 2 0 0 ' Were. Killed. ' JACOBS CREEK, Pa., Dec. 27.

Crushed Under Pile of Gold. , CHICAGO, Dec. 27. Canvas bags con taining gold and silver to the amount of $500,000 were scattered about the corner of LaSalle and Adams streets for a short time last night, but they were soon gath ered up and taken to a place of safety under the protection of a squad of police.

The en gineer of the Pemberton train failed to see the -Atlantic City train in time to avoid collision, but he Instantly jammed his brakes down hard when he saw the train through the fog. The sudden jolt forced the tender of the Pemberton train into the first coach, wrecking it badly and either killing or injuring everybody in the coach. The train, however, did not come to a full stop but slid into the rear of the Atlantic City Express, causing the ten der still further to telescope 'the first car. The force of the collision was slight and no one was injured on the forward train. ' Coals from the locomotive of the Pem berton train set the wreckage afire and it was at first feared that many of the in jured who were pinned under the heavy twisted iron and wood were burned to death, but the prompt action of the Cam den fire department In extinguishing the flames and the efficient rescue work of the uninjured passengers subsequently saved many lives. Some of the injured may die. - STOP PLAYING FOR MONEY Traveling Men Vote' to Cut Out ' Gambling. . SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27.
