kindest treatment, all without COM


pensation.
One needs to go among and associ-
ate with a people to be qualified to
express an opinion with reference to
them. We see frequent reference to
the Colombians as lacking in bravery.
We should not delude ourselves with
any such mistaken idea. During the
last rebellion in Colombia the soldiers
and officers on both sides displayed
great bravery, and in nearly all of the
battles a larger proportion of the COM
batants were slain than in the battles
Of our own last revolution. They are
wonderfully skilled in the use of the
macbeth, and as a rule do not know
the meaning of the word fear. At the
same time they are as forgiving as
children. If, therefore, they are fairly
treated they are an easy people to get
along with. OF course, there are ex-
ceptions, and I apprehend we will ad-
nit there are similar exceptions in
! this country.

meeting Wednesday evening, Engineer
Sturtuvant told of an interview that

plans for big lot Of improvements.
They propose to put in an earth fill

bridging now stands to build stone
piers on the east side and the west

a new steel bridge thereon. It is
thought that the company will put in

that point. The new bridge is ne

Council and Board of Public
Works at Outs Over the
Stringins OF new
'"l'- Wires.


The periodical differences Us, glnlo' -
betwe EN- the board of public NJ
and the council occurred this
and while no blood was spilleos
were some great attempts ms
smearing the streets Of the city
the life fluid of the Loard of
works and counter attempt to
home on the tender sports in the
atimony of the council
The contention arose over the en-
gaging by the board of public works
of J. F. Fitzpatrick, of Florence, to
oversee the stringing of the new
electric light wires. The idea of the
two boards can best be understood by
reproduction Of the exact statements
of a representative of each as given
the reporter for the Diamond Drill.
A member OF the board of public
works in discussing the matter said,
eve are putting in a new system.
We have invested many thousands Of
dollars in the work. We want to get
the very best results possible from
this great expenditure and in order TO
do 50 ware careful to have none but
the best machinery and workmanship
30 that the work may be- done right.
Mr. Pierce, our superintendent, in all
right for the common run of work on
the system but for particular work,
such as the stringing of the wires, the
board thought best 20 hire someone TO
oversee the WORK who has had actual
experience in that line of work Mr..
Fitzpatrick installed the first plant
here and was sent TO do the work by
the Westinghouse people. His work
was perfectly satisfactory and all the
members of the board feel that he is
competent to do this work. We do not
agree to give Mr.. Fitzpatrick any con-
tract or pay any exorbitant sum to
him. We simply engaged him TO over
see the work at wage of 40 cents per
hour. We do not mean 10 superesde
Mr.. Pierce nor TO infringe upon his
powers We simply figured that this
is work outside OF his regular work

credit for opening up the Crystal Falls

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 10, 1909.
Mr.. Editor Alderman John w. Mar
tins preamble and resolution, reported
in the City Council proceedings of Monday
night, contains an erroneous statement in
relation to a case in which was counsel.
He states that the then 1897 Counselor,
Frank III. Stockett, Jr., having given an
opinion in favor of the parties filing the
petition against the City Government,
declined to represent the City in the suit
of Jones ct al. VS.. the Mayor, Counselor
and Aldermen OF the City of Annapolis,
and, at his own suggestion, the Mayor
was requested to employ other counsel,
and Messrs. Robert Moss and Elihu s.
Riley were employed and later paid by
the Mayor, Counselor and Aldermen
of the City Of Annapolis.
never have been employed as counsel
for the city in any case except when
was City Counselor. The case that Mr..
Martin referred to is probably No. 9,

ANSWER TO SUIT FILED !?
The Corporation Answers The
Mandamus of Louis
S. Clayton.

This mornings Baltimore papers stated
that the Corporation of Annapolis. by City
Counselor Hugh X. Riley. had filed its
answer to The suit for mandamus recently
instituted against the city by Louis ,.
Clayton, candidate for city clerk.
The plaintiff claims that as he received
four votes at the City Council meeting OF
July "a, against three for the Republican
nominee and one vote blank, he was
elected city ERIK on that date, the blank
ballot not being entitled to any consld-
Grafton whatever. SO he alleges. The
answer states the main defense to the
suit is as follows
THAT by section IA of the City Charter
the corporation has the power TO settle
its own rules of parliamentary procedure;
that in Pursuance OF this authority. no
written rules have ever been adopted.
but custom and precedence has alwas 5
governed, with certain cardinal princi-
pies of parliamentary law; that il has
been the unalterable custom in the An
napohs city Council to treat a blank
ballot as il ii had a name written on it
in so far as il went toward determining
the majority of the votes cast.
THAT after the vote taken on July
Goth the Mayor announced that there
had been no election and that no protest
was made at the time and no appeal
taken from the Mayors decision; that by
section s of article 20 of the City Code
the municipal officers are required to
produce to the corporation ten days after
their election satisfactory bond, and If
they fail to do so their election shall be
considered of no effect and be vacated. :"
The plaintiff counted the ten days re-
CURED by section 5 from August 10TH,
and not from July goth, the date on
which he claims to have been elected.
The paper had not been filed in Court
up to ii clock today, as given out by
Clerks Woodward and WEIGH, and Judge
Revell came from Howard county this
morning. knowing today was fixed for
filing this paper. The Judge was SUR
prised to read the account in the Balti-
more papers and to find that the answer
had not been filed several hours after his
return Had the paper been filed yester-
day the CAPITAL would have published
it, but up to going to press it had not
been filed. 1t is case of an etching
palm for news matter that is not legit-
innate or authentic.

At COLONIAL THEATRE.
The"Sweet Jasmine" Company
Falls Short of MARIA
Disappointment.

Was il the play or the players who
slipped up last night in Miss Montagu's
production of Sweet Jasmine" at the
Colonial Theatre? This is a question
everybody who witnessed the perform
ance that dragged along until nearly
midnight would like TO know. for they
still have some doubts.
The play is deep. there is no question
OF that. Ii is one of the scarlet kind and
Is not unlike Camille. To those who
were not familiar with Bulwer Lytton's
Aux ltaliens, the play, so far as seen
last night, IS still mystery, for the star.
Miss A.ontagu could not be heard two
feet from the stage. Her voice is sweet
and melodious. probably. but it was most
too soft. gentle and low even if the
bard OF Avon does say this els and ex-
cellent thing in woman
Only at the closing scenes could Miss
Montagu be heard at all, and some
people are deaf this morning from strain
ing the auditory nerve endeavorng TO
catch what the leading, lady said Indeed
an aurist would have a Job were he in
Annapolis today. As to waits between
the acts. they were longer than the acts
themselves, and between one OF them
the Naval Academy orchestra, which, by
the way. was the best of the entire per
Torrance. played four selections before
the curtain rose-thirty- minutes.
The curtain did not fall upon the last
act until LAS p. m. Some of the acting
was good. Indeed Miss Montagu would
be good had she voice of any volume.
Her gowns were exquisite creations.
Some of them were dreams of feminine
loneliness, and all were Partisan crea-
tons. The gowns were greatly admired
by the ladies in the audience, and Miss
Montagu wore them gracefully. To do
justice to Miss Montagu's support, in the
main, it was good. Mr.. Joseph Galbreath,
as Lord Graham. was we'll cast.
Mr.. Galbreath is possessed of hand
some stage presence, has a deep, clear,
distinct voice, enunciates well and is at
his ease on the stage. Miss Dane, as
"Normollta was also good, and the
male characters were fair, those of them
who knew their lines, The company is
evidently new one. and may do better,
but last nights performance was a bitter
disappointment to large audience.

ABRUPTLY STOPS.
The Running Of The Plebs At The Naval
Academy Has Ended For
a Season.

The running Of the plebs Of the Naval
Academy, which has been going on
actively since the arrival of dozen
upper classmen on August 10th for re-
examination, has ceased.
The running was first discovered by
the surgeons at sick quarters, who found
SO many sore limbs among the plebs.
This was-fFom executing "No 10. an
which exercise the performer, putting his
hands on either hip. bends the upper
part of his body down until his head
touches his heels, he being on tiptoe.
He rises. straightens his limbs and re-
peats the operation. Ten of these move
ments takes all the vigor ont of the
performer. When Commandant Charles
Badger took the matter in hand the
upper classmen promised to stop run
nIng the plebs. II the running is con-
tinued the discipline will probably be
severe. Some OF the plebes who do not
use tobacco in any form were made sick.
One of them, whose ancestor was a
distinguished American naval officer, was
made to buckle on tin sword, stand on
a table and go through the actions of an
officer in naval battle. Another, whose
grandfather was celebrated statesman
and orator, was required to mount the
rostrum and deliver an Grafton.
