OLD BOARD STEPS OUT.
The Case Still Involves A Doubt Of The
Right To Legislate Out Of Office
Men Whose Terms Have
NJ. U--..J
Not Expired.

MOI bApIeu'
As briefly stated in yesterdays issue
OF the CAPITAL the case that has been OF
such general interest TO the people OF the
entire county relative 10 which Board OF
County Commissioners should preside,
has at last been settled.
The Board of County Commissioners
who will now have to step out OF office
consists OF William II. Brown, David r..
Steele and Galloway Cheston. They held
the Office under the local law, which pro
vided that the Board OF County Commis-
sioneTs for Anne Arundel County should
consist of three men to serve for six years
each, one TO be elected every two years.
Mr.. Ches,on's term expired last No
vember, he having been appointed TO fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
OF John II. Hopkins. who was elected
in 1906 William II. Brown was elected
in 1897 ard MIR. Steele in 1899. Mf.
Steele mad tour more Yeas 10 serve and
MIR. Brown two years. On November 5,
1901, a new board was elected under act
OF the extra session, consisting Of Samuel
Brooke, John n. Wayson, Julian M
Beard, Joseph I. Brenan, Adam A
OuipiI1f OaSh - OiohtWShg Ws AAs AAAhs
The old board declined TO surrender
the office, claiming that under the Con
stituiion the General Assembly OF Mary
land had no power to legislate them out
of office before the expiration of their
terms. The newly elected Commission
ers organized and asked the court for a
writ of mandamus compelling MIR. Brown
and his associates 10 vacate the office.
The case was heard below on Decembs %
z3. on December 80 the court filed Its
opinion, granting the mandamus as pray
ed and from this order the appeal was
taken. II was generally considered that
the Court OF Appeals would decide in
favor of the newly elected Commissioners.
The result shows that the old board
were reasonable in their decision to con-
test the right Of the new Commissioners
to the Office. II is said by various Off
GERS OF the court that not for many years
have the judges of the Court OF Appeals
been equally divided on any case before
them; in fact, none of them can remem.
Der such an instance, certainly not within
the last ten years. The case still involves
a doubt OF the right to legislate out OF
office men whose terms have not expired.
as has been done notably in Charles and
Somerset counties.

-Neighbors VINO Formed
Bucket Brigade.

Fire-br out Monday morning in
the old frame dwelling house owned
by Mr.. Geo. w Trimble, and occupied
by Frank Reed, his wife and year
old nephew. Earl Brown. all colored,
situated near the corner of Welsh aud
w Race streets few minutes before
nine O'Clock.
The house with all Of its contents
was burned to the ground. Nothing
being saved but a table and couple
Of chairs. But for the noble efforts of
the several bucket brigades that were
hastily formed, the surrounding BALD
ings would have been consumed By the
FIRE
The hose reel from the second ward
was soon ON the scene, having been
hauled there by Mr. Powell, the dray-
man. Considerable time was lost by
getting the hose twisted, having the
Ii ozzle end at the water plug and the
end that should have bee attached to
the plug, at the fire. The nozzle could
not be connected and the line of hose
had to be turned completely around
before the connections could be mad g.
BY this time the building was a solid
mass of flames which were leaping
hnngrily out in all directions in search
for more infiamable matter.
TheTnew frame house Of Mrs. Pat
rick Welsh was in imminent danger
of being consumed, the bucket brig
AIDE, with an occasional stream from
the line of hose, kept that from ignit-
ing.
Just how the fire started no one
seems to know. Mrs Reed said she
had just gone over to neighbors house
for minute and told her nephew Earl
Brown, to stay at home until she came
back. The.little fellow had just finished
his breakfast and was playing around
the kitchen when Mrs Reed left him.
Mrs. II. P. Thorn who lives near,
heard the child screaming and when
she called him. he ran to her crying
that he had set the house on fire. Mrs.
Thorn Immediately telephoned to DO
lice headquarters fer the fire depart
ment A bucket brigade was hastily
formed and all possible was done to
save the building and contents. Mrs.
Reed saws she was not away more
than five minutes when the cry of fire
first reached her She ran out of the
neighbors house to see her own home
enveloped in flames. 1t was with diff
fieulty that she was restrained from
rushing into the burning building,
thinking of the child she had left there
alone 1t is supposed that the boy
had found some matches and had set
some papers on fire that were lying on
the kitchen floor and becoming fright
ened at the flames ran out of the house
screaming.
Only one stream of water could be
gotten on the fire and after about five
minutes that gave out. BY that time
the fire was past doing any damage to
the surrounding buildings. A second
line of hose was run then from the
plug at the corner of Martin and Ra-
leigh streets. With this stream the
firemen extinguished the flame.
The front of Mrs. Welsh's house was
badly blistered by the intense heat.
The property was insured in compa-
MES represented by Alexander and
Trammell for $500. This loss together
with the damage TO Mrs. Welsh's house
will be promptly adjusted.
