Rev. M. G. Hacker had trouble
with the pound man today. He
was pasturing his horse on a vacant
lot when the pound man came along
and took it UP. Mr.. Hacker,
who was watching the horse, pro-
tested in vain to the autocrat Of
the pound. He finally carried the
matter to the chief Of police and oh
tanned redress. There has been no
little complaint against the arbit-
rary actions of the pound man.
There is no doubt that Ae is en-
forcing the law but his actions III
many cases have been open TO
serious criticism.

Official Vote
In the Merchants Library Con-
test-A Valuble Contribution
to the Public Library.

Owing to the late hour at which
the report of the judges in the lib
rary contest was received yester-
day it was impossible to publish it
in full. 1t is therefore presented
today.
The judges, Messrs B. P. Smith,
S. w Hayes and DR. Hendrix,
deserve great praise for the care
full manner in which they did their
work. 1t was big task to count
the votes and it was a purely
'thank you" job-give the judges
plenty of thanks. Every vote was
counted and the additions made
with a machine so there was little
or no chance Of making mistake.
The question of transferring
votes cast for one contestant to an
other was not raisep. A question
however put by a representative
of the EXPRESS brought out the
opinion that there was no authority
in the rules for such transfer.
The ladies who worked for the
Carnegie library may well be proud
Of their success. They have add
ed to the collection of books already
secured IT'S splendid volumes.
They are books that any library
might be proud TO possess.
The following IS the official vote

The Modern Maud

Maud Muller on a summers day
Calmly famed the flies away
From a fairy cloud above,
She dreamed she saw herself and
love.
Waited, away to Elysian shores,
Observation-Disclosures and mother 5
chores.
No unraked hay. no milk to churn,
But oceans of leisure and money to
burn.
Her beau came soorching down the
lane,
In his bran new auto her smile to
gain.
On he came at merry pace,
And caught his sweetheart in fond
embrace;
She feigned TO scold the young man
bold
But the old, old story has oftbeen
told.
Wen leave them to their tale Of woe
Their gush Of "dearie' and turtle
dove.
Old Sol hung low in the golden west
Ere this young gallant rode way
from his best;
Yes the sky was rolled In costume
gaudy
When a vexed mothers voice
called loudly

Gen. Riggs Exonerated.

Gen. Lawrason Riggs declined on Tuesday
TO issue passes TO press reporters and also de-
elined to recognize passes by Gov. Warheld
to members of the Legislature. One militia
man declined to allow letter carrier to enter
the poslofiice, though he was in uniform, and
finally cut his head with the butt of his gun.
Another guard refused Collector Stone aduIis
sion to the Custom House.
The House of Delegates passed resolutions
declaring that Gen. Riggs bad exceeded his
authority, and ordering him to appear before
the bar of the House. Gen. Riggs appeared
on Thursday and explained his action. 1t
was satisfactory and the House voted to ex-
punge lis resolution Of censure.
ROAST PROM THE SPEAKER.
At the conclusion Of the roll call Speaker
Everhart rose, aud turning to General Riggs,
said that he had voted in favor of the original
resolution when it came up Wednesday, but
that owing to the explanation made by Gen.
Riggs, he should now vote that it be recon
sidered and expunged.
''But. sir he said, addressing Gen. Riggs,
"there is no doubt that the conduct of certain
members of the National Guard should be
brought to your attention. They have been
seen by members of this House drunk. They
have been seen in the company of disreputa-
BILE women on the public streets, in some cases,
| believe, within the FIRE limits. We have
been liberal with the National Guard of Mary
land, have aided in housing you comfortably,
and demand good behavior from them"
