Judge Merrick of Maryland Renders
an Important Decision.

court of Prince Georges county, Md, in a
decision handed down at Upper Marlboro
yesterday, sustained the demurrer filed by
the democratic contestees, John Miller, R.
Lee Manning and George w Hardy, in the
contested election cases. The republican
contestants were Frank DuvaIl, Thomas
Wells and Wallace Pyles, the first two can
didates for county commissioner and the
last named candidate for road commits
sioner.
The contestants alleged in their petition
that large number Of ballots were rejected
by the Judges Of election, which ballots
were properly marked by cross In the
square opposite each candidates name be-
cause lines of the cross extended across
and slightly beyond the square They con-
tended that had these ballots been counted
the result would have been In their favor;
that sufficient number Of ballots to have
elected the contestants were rejected for
the reason that they were so folded that
the initials of the judges did not appear
upon the face OF the ballots. The petitioners
also attacked the constitutionality of that
section of THE ballot law which prescribes
that 'if theayotegi has marked more names
than there's are persons to be elected to an
Office. the nbaIlot shall be rejecsed." con-
tending that this section was unconstit,i-

GOV. SHAW AT A BANQUET.
In o Speech He Referred to His New
Duties.

Duties.
Gov Leslie M. Shaw was given a public
reception in Des Moines, Iowa, last even
ing by the Grant Club in honor of his ele-
vation to the Secretaryship OF the United
States Treasury. The reception was fol-
lowed by a banquet. at which covers were
laid for $50 guests, who included nearly all
the leading republicans in the state and
city.
AS to his new position in the Cabinet,
Gov Shaw said, in part:
'I think I need not say that the respon-
sbilities which I am about to assume came
unsought and unexpected. 1 had planned
and hoped to return to my home and to
pursuits to me far more congenial than
public services. When l left for Dubuque
on the evening Of December %, it was with
that would decline. The sequel Is but an
illustration of how little we know Of what
We will do in given emergency. When a
father tells his son to stand In the gap
while he drives the herd past, filial loyalty
demands obedience without questioning the
wisdom of the order, and when the Presi-
dent of the United States makes a similar
request. there should be no alternative.
Concerning policy, I have nothing to
say. Concerning the duties of the Treasury
Department, l might say much. At this
time / shall content myself, however, and
content you. by saying little. theoretically,
l am told, there Is little for the Secretary
of the Treasury to do. The work is so sys-
tematized as to be mostly performed by
subordinates. Unfortunately. however, al
most anything Is liable to come before him
for ultimate determine ton. and in practtce
he has many and as diversified questions to
decide as the average man cares to con-
sider."
He enumerated some problems connected
with his new duties and concluded:
I'm other words, the Treasury Depart
ment Is the bloody angle Of an admins
tration. All I can crave Is the same indul
gence from the people whom love as has
been shown me in the past

The Worlds Champion Asked to Stop
 Racing by Rector of Georgetown.
 Washington, Aug 4.--If Arthur F.. Duffy, the fieetest footed sprinter the world has ever seen, regards the wishes of the Very Rev Perome Dougherty, $. J.. rector of Georgetown university, the game little fellow has run his last race.
 Upon receipt of the news from Eng land that Duffy had broken down un der the severe strain, the rector of Georgetown university, in discussing the matter with the graduate manager of athletics, said he hoped Duffy would run no more.
 Father Dougherty declared the little sprinter had done his share in bringing honors. to his alma mater and that the university would be satisfied to have ly from the sprint and act only in the counsels of the track and field games for the future. Father Dougherty's wish was cabled to Duffy in England yesterday by Graduate Manager Thompson.
 Shortly before Duffy went to New York to compete in the annual inter collegiate championships, when he won the 100-yard sprint and made the dis tance in time that set the whole ath. letic world by the ears, he said to Graduate Thompson that if he could win the championship sprint this year from England and land the champion ship cup of that country he would be sstisfied to retire. He did both.
