The police have been asked by Herman Consul K. K. Victor to look out for Friedrich's Slegmeier, formerly commissioned officer on board an interned German boat. He escaped recently from a California insane asylum and Mr. Victor thought he might perhaps attempt to reach the East, owing to the fact that a number of German sailors are interned on this coast.

Mills Objects to Plan of Greater Memorial to Protect Negro Hospital on Principal Thoroughfare to Church Hill.
Because the Common Council last night refused to let down the bars and grant the free use of the City Auditorium for a concert to raise funds to be used in building the negro pavilion, which will be one of the units in the greater Memorial Hospital, Councilman English asked to be excused from the meeting and left the Council chamber. Mr. English had offered an ordinance which would permit the Administrative Board to grant the free use of Auditorium to the committee in charge of the colored hospital work. He introduced it, he said, at the request of Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, who is at the head of an auxiliary committee which is assisting the negroes. As it is proposed to have the concert on October 1, Mr. English asked for a suspension of the rules that the paper might be placed at  One upon its passage. Councilman Hatkirs remarked that the paper was in direct conflict with an ordinance which compelled the collection of a minimum fee of $1 for the use of the Auditorium for such purposes.
