For the benefit of some people who
do not fully understand the situation
the JOURNAL explains that the pro-
posed Normal School, if located at
Frostburg, is designed to be State
institution -. established, maintained
and conducted by the State.
In asking for it's location here,
therefore, nothing from the county is
sought-not a cent, unless site is
selected on the very ample school lot,
ground which the taxpayers have long
since paid for.
In Cumberland, however, the scheme
comprises the conversion of county
property into the use of all institution
to be run by Cumberland trustees and
generally-not as Il State. but as a
Cumberland school at State expense.

The Portner Flats are to be dupli-
Gated. An annex is TO be erected on the
lots Immediately adjoining the site of the
present building on the north, in Six
teenth Street, between L and Streets
northwest.
Mr.. Portner, the proprietor of the flats,
is the owner of a large part of the square
between Sixteenth Street and Portner
Place and Z and Streets. He has
found the big apartment house bearing
his name a very excellent investment
from the day it was completed two years
age and has decided that a like building
of equal or greater size will be equally
satisfactory. The apartments OF tne
Portner have been filed almost contin-
uously at rentals that pay good interest
on the investment, and there are many
inquiries for additional fats that cannot
be filed.
The annex will be seven stories high,
one story taller than the main building.
1t is understood that otherwise 1T will be
nearly counterpart of the present struc-
ture. The cost of the improvement will be

Even this big building. however, does

of Mr.. Portner in the way of apartment

first is to go up as soon as this is finished.
The ti,.rd building will complete the en-
tire block between u and Streets.
When the three are completed they will
make a structure that will be by far the
most imposing private building in the
city.

GOOD REASONS GIVEN.
The Com missfoncrs Act Against Con-
spicuOus Sidewalks

spicuOus Sidewalks.
The District Commissioners have de-
MED the request made by Fritz Reuter-,
the restauranteur and proprietor of the
Rathskeller, at No. 457 Pennsylvania Ave-
nue., through j. F. Manning & Co. for a
white marble pavement In front of his
premises.
Computing Engineer Hunt, to whom the
request was referred, states that the
owner of the property and the contractors
acknowledge that the existing walk is in
excellent condition. and for that reason
he informed the Commissioners that he
thought the endeavor was to excel Diff
fer from other walks on the, Avenue.
In making his recommendations to the
Board of Commissioners Engineer Com
missioner Beach says:
ut Is not believed advisable to grant
this request for several reasons:
"a white marble sidewalk would be very
Objectionable during Summer months on
account of the glare of the sun;
"It has been the policy of the office for
some time past to prevent the construc-
tion of conspicuous sidewalks, parties
having been refused permission to color
the cement sidewalks brown, red or blue,
as the case might be, and it is not be-
iieyed advisable to make exceptions.
"If the Commissioners give permission
to lay the marble walk, the maintenance
of it would devolve upon the District, and,
If any cuts were made or slabs broken,
the District would be put to considerable
expense to provide other pieces of mar
BILE to patch the remainder OF the side
walk

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much greater
In the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
Judgment on them and use only the bet
ter one.

Lieut.. Inspector ]. W. Mattingly, chief
of the detective force of the District, was
removed at a late hour yesterday after
hoon.
Detective Robert H. Boardman was
simultaneously elevated to fill the re-
tponsible position which was vacated by
season of Mattingly's removal.
Though persons conversant with local
police and detective affairs had antici-
pated just such a change for at least two
months, the actual announcement of the
fact yesterday was great surprise to
everyone. Even Detective Boardman, upon
whom will devolve the responsibilities
and onerous duties of the detective SER
vice was unaware of his promotion until
long after the news had been given to
The press. He was at his home, sleeping
after a hard mornings work and knew
nothing OF what had happened until he
reached police heaquarters early in the
evening. He was then surrounded by his
colleagues in the detective service and
thowered with congratulations.
The announcement of the removal of
Inspector Mattingly was made public at
Q O'Clock Shortly before that time the
documents containing the recommends
tions of Major Sylvester reached Presi-
sent Wight OF the Board of District
commissioners.
Their contents were not news to Mr..
Wight as the whole matter had been
brought to him frequently during recent
verbal conferences with Major Sylvester.
The recommendations met with his APP
proval and he gave them the stamp of
his authority without hesitation. They
were then given publicity as follows:
Il have the honor TO recommend that:
Sergeant H. c. Jones be reduced TO
private, class ?, at his own request, vice

NOTED TO lieutenant inspector, to have

"RtcHARD SYLVESTER,
"MaipT- and SItperintendeDt' >

-hdJtt
When seen by a Times reporter, Major
Sylvester said the change was made at
the request OF Inspector Mattingly. He
explained that during the year in which
Inspector Mattingly had been in charge
of the detective bureau he had given the
utmost satisfaction, and that no cause for
dissatisfaction could be found with him.
Shortly after / became major" said
Major Sylvester, inspector Mattingly
came to me and told me he would like
to be relieved of duty if / had any dis
position to ask for his resignation.
asked him why he desired 10 be relieved
of his duties. and he replied that, with
increasing age, he felt too much anxiety
was attached to the position. He desired
to be returned to the second class for
duty at the district attorneys Office. In
sending cases to the district attorney we
find that they are very often lacking in
little points. They must be perfected,
and 1t was Inspector Mattingy's duty
to attend to that matter before he be-
came inspector. He is desirous of being
returned TO the same position, and his
wishes in the matter will be granted.
In looking around for new in
spector" continued Major Sylvester, I'VE
sought the most experienced among the
older men in the service. Our eyes nat
urally fell first upon the lieutenants-
They did not desire the position, and said
that they would feel more peaceful and
better disposed If left to attend to the
precinct work.
1.-The choice thereupon fell upon Detec-
tive Boardman as probably one of the
most experienced of the men in the pres
ent detective service. He is young, active
and energetic. is thoroughly conversant
with the details of the local police depart
ment and the detective bureau. He has
| seen service in other cities and under
| stands the workings of their police de-
partments as well. He is familiar with
| local criminal data, knows the photo
| graphs and has himself worked out many
| difficult cases During recent years he
has had charge of the work of recovering
| stolen bicycles. In 1898 2ss bicycles were
| stolen. OF this number 25i were recov-
ered mostly through the instrumentality
| of Detective Boardman."
In speaking of his characteristics yes
| terday, Major Sylvester said: He is
| young, educated, energetic and has had
] long experience with local affairs and
| laws
Mr.. Boardman was born in this city in
1861. He attended the public schools until
| he was sixteen years old, when he became
plate printer. He was afterward en-
| ployed In that capacity at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, being an expert
| in his line
| He entered the local police department
December G, 1886, on the same day that
the late Major William G. Moore became
chief of police. He became a second class
private January /, 1891. and was trans
ferred to the detective bureau in October
of the same year.
Major Sylvester has, of course, not
overlooked the Office of night inspector OF
detectives, and the mere fact that he has
brought Detective Joseph Carter back to
headquarters is indicative of his appoint
| ment to fill the vacancy made by the
promotion of Night Inspector Boardman
