the part of Senator German there would
be some doubt as to Mr.. Randal's con-
firmation by the Senate. President

AT The Academy.

"a Girl From Dixie" which pos
sesses all the attributes that have en-
deared girls from this section, has won
her way into favor wherever presented.
There can be no doubt but that this
attraction of Messrs. S. S. Shubert and
Nixon & Zimmerman at the Academy
of Music, Baltimore, next week, with
matinee Wednesday and Saturday, has
scored hit through its clean, bright,
wholesome comedy, interspersed with
tuneful, catchy songs.
Irene Bentley, as Kitty Calvert, is
doing the best work of her career and
her daintiness of manner and charm
ing stage presence easily, make her
the center of the varying stage pic
lures. Her vivacity and animation
and the abandon in which she por-
trays the ragged country girl, and
afterwards the refinement of her work
as the society lady, have added no lit
tie to her reputation, while her sew
eral song numbers have scored un-
qualified hits.
Ferdinand Gottschalk's impersonation
of Lord Dunisp0re-object matrimony,
are done in the best style by this thor
oughly capable actor, who gained his
spurs in the more legitimate field OF
the drama. The broader comedy work
devolved upon the shoulders of George
Schiller and Albert Hart, all of whom
are excellently cast, while Charles K.

piece. 1t is noteworthy fact that
ever person ON the stage, from this co.

does his or her very utmost to promote
the interests of the production. SucI
energy and well balanced enthusiasm
behind the footlights is said to be rare
indeed, and the result is correspond

THE AFTER MATH.
What Is Said of The Result
No Contest Will Be Made
Candidates For The
Offices.

Poth Democratic and Republican poll
ticians smiled today over the idea OF a
Republican contest in Anne Arundel
County. With the lowest Democratic
majority being over 400 and as stated
editorialy in the CAPITAL yesterday, 1t
being true that a strict construction OF
the law would result in even greater
Democratic victory. it is hard TO see
where contest in Court would be con
sidered. Nor would there be more likelI-
hood of contest in cases that go before
the Legislature with both of the Houses
overwhelmingly Democratic. DIR. Wash
ington q. Tuck, the veteran Republican
leader, was very much amused at the re-
port of a contest and stated that there was
nothing in 1t.
Reports of stamps being placed on bal
lots were very much exaggerated. Ten
ballots of the kind were found in the
third ward and rejected of course. There
were none in the first ward. Republican
officials in both wards state that the ac-
ton of the judges in all disputes was fair.
The CAPITAL s estimates of the result
in Anne Arundel County, which were
published on Wednesday. and which on
ly purported to be estimates as actual re-
turns were not completed, were remarka-
bly, close to the official returns as pub
lished yesterday.
Candidates are being announced for
the offices at the disposal of the newly
elected officials. The present clerk of
the Board OF County Commissioners, Mr..
Charles Himelheber, is a candidate for
re election. Those mentioned for counsel
to the board are Messrs. James w. Owens
Elihu S. Riley, Ridgely P. Melvin and
the present incumbent, Bruner X. An
derson.
The Republicans did not carry the
fourth district of Anne Arundel County,
"as exclusively" announced.

Rear Admiral r. b. Bradford, chief
of the Bureau of Equipment of the
Navy Department, in his annual re-
port to Secretary Moody, draws atten-
tion to the inefficiency of the coal
depots in foreign waters for naval use,
but because of the publicity given to
the report, the matter is not discussed
owing to diplomatic considerations. 1t
is stated, however, that no progress
has been made during the last year
toward increasing the number of sta
tions. In connection with the subject
of naval depots two maps of the world
are submitted, the first showing the
coaldepots built, building or projected
by the United States, and the second
giving similar information concerning
Great Britain. Rear Admiral Bradford
directs attention to the maps and con-
cludes "a comparison of the two is
instructive.

ANNAPOLIS. MD. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1908.
COURI MARTIAL ENDED.
Dismissal For "cadet" May Be
Loop Hole For mid
shipman.

The last of the cases of hazing to be
tried at the Naval Academy, that Of
Midshipman John III. Little, of. Spring
field, Ohio, was concluded with short
session this morning. The session was
taken up with review of the testi-
mony in the cases and the filing of
briefs by Judge Advocate Wells and
Daniel X. Randall, Esq, counsel for
the defense. There are five specitica-
tions to support the charge of hazing
in Little's case, all relating TO occur
rences near each other in time, being
the usual practices of hazing
Mr. Randall, the counsel for the de-
fense, created quite a surprcise this
morning by bringing two very strong
technical defenses which apply to all
the cases. The first was that inasmuch
as the charges in all the cases are sup
ported by more than one specification,
the prosecution was compelled to elect
which of the Specifications they would
chose TO support the charge and con-
duct the trial upon that basis. A
parallel rule applies in the trial of
criminal charges in ordinary civil
courts, but it is urged that by express
regulation different rule obtains in
naval court martials.
The second and stronger point was
that the act of Congress, that of 1874,
under which the accused are being
tried, provides the punishment of dis
missal for any "cadet" found guilty
of hazing. 1t was urged that subse-
quent act of Congress has done away
with the rank of cadet" in the navy
and that those persons are now being
tried as 'midshipmen. I" 1t is urged
that in the enforcement of criminal
laws there can be no presumption of
intention and that there being no law
which provides that the act against
hazing as applied to cadets shall also
apply to midshipmen, there was no
authority under the law to try the
latter. The naval authorities believe,
however, that there is an act which
changes the application of the law.
The record in all the cases will now
go to the Superintendent of the Naval
Academy for his action, and will be
forwarded by him to the Secretary
of the Navy.
