that memhers Of the house committee ON
naval affairs have been advised from the
White House that ii viii not avail them
anything to act on any of the numerous

duccd drrina he three or four days i'm.
mcdiatey following the announcement ot
the findings Of tho court Of inquiry stand
an excellent chance Of staying In the
pigeon holes IN which they were placed
as soon as received by the Committee
Some Of the members Of the committee
are not willing 10 submit to this hut at
present they do not see any possibility os
their being able 10 do otherwise. The
Maryland delegation in tho house finds It,
self in a particularly nneuvlable position.
The people Of Maryland are clamoring for

State say thnt their hands are tied because
Of their inability to force the committee

ers Of their party to arrange things that
one or more Of the Schley resolutions may
he passed the matter will he made an
Issue in the next congressional election in
Maryland and an advantage be thus given

The Chicago Chronicle does not
hold in high regard the socialists or
their efforts to reform It says:
Some of the more anarchistic of the
Socialists have expressed themselves
OF late as highly confident that the in
itiatiye and referendum will eyentu'
ally do away with constitutions, con
stlmtional conventions and constitu-
tlonal amendments. How? by vio-
lence, of course. When the devil wag'
ons Of Socialism and anarchy once get
under way, public and private rights
will not receive much attention. No
Soclalistic venture of which there is
any record ever troubled itself with
the observance Of natural laws. So
cialism never has respected even its
own laws. Its early announcement Of
a purpose to override the constitution
is premature but wholly Characteristic

The father of Elmer Collins, who slill
believes in the innocence of his son. who
is charged with the murder of Ida Col.
Inns, his wife, has informed the detec.
tives that he will help all he can to APP
prehend the real murderer of the WON.
an, whoever he may be- To this end
Mr.. Collins has stopped portion of his
mill that the water might be let out OF
the mill race or branch to allow the de-
tectives to make thorough search foI
the knife which is believed to have been
thrown in this stream after it had ac'
complished its deadly work upon tn,
unfortunate woman's throat. 1t is un.
derstood that an understanding has
been reached between Collins and his
father-in- Law that while he is resting
under this cloud it would be well foi
him not TO call ut the father in laws, and
for this reason, it is alleged, Collins has
removed his two little motherless girls
from the home of their maternal grand
father, to that of his own father. where
he visits them regularly and spends the
evening with them.
