Brooklyn. Nov. 5.--Judge Parker to,
night delivered a speech here In re-
ply to the statement issued by
President Roosevelt He was greet
ed by an intensely interested and
wildly enthusiastic audience
.'The purpose Of my address to
night IS to call attention 20 the fact
that in his strangely belated reply to
my speech OF twelve days ago, the
president has no met the issues ere,
ated since the platforms wefes adopt
ed, namely. Can the trusts purchase
The election? Whatever results may
follow from his address. the campaign
fund cannot be interfered with. It
has been raised.
Quotes From His Speech.
Judge Parker here quoted at length
iron his speech Of Oct. "a, in which
he discussed the influence OF trusts
In elections. He continued: ~
"You have learned from it's reading
that the purpose OF the address was
10 win the people against the corrupt
ing of the electorate by tarm-bred
trusts and other monopolie&' II con
tained no criticism of the president.
1t simply called attention TO noto.
rious and offensive situation, which
presented TO my mind the greatest OF
moral issues in the campaign, yes, OF
many campaigns"
Parker said that if Roosevelt. had
accepted the suggestions made and
had said he would Join Parker in an
effort to protect the ballot of the hon
ess citizen from being over ridden by
merchandise ballots At would have
sounded like the Roosevelt we once
knew. And If he had followed IT. by
acts In execution of his words II
would have been of far less conse

should be elected than /. is now. but
he did not do Il. He shut his eyes

Social Session

The Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor of the First
Presbyterian Church of this city gave
a very pleasant social entertainment
last night in. the lecture room. The
programme was shortened by reason
of the music having to play at St.
Johns College last night and also be-
cause some who were scheduled to
take part were unable to do so.
Miss Norma Brotzman sang beau
tiful solo. Miss Brotzman has a
sweet melodious voice and takes her
high notes with ease and clearness and
purity of tone. Later in the evening
cake and hot chocolate were served to
all present and pleasant social even
ing was enjoyed. The young ladies
serving were all attired in evening
dress of bright colors and the room
made a very attractive appearance.
Ii was decorated with ehrysanthe-
NUNS, ivy, vines and grasses and two
pretty tables were spread, one from
which candy was dispensed and the
other from which cake was served.
Some of the ladies serving were
Misses Addie, Hattie and Ruby
Phillips, Misses Lottie and Carrie
Gardiner. Miss Elizabeth Bell, Miss
Lizzie Westbrook, Mrs. Arthur Jones,
Miss Brotzman, Miss Westphal, Miss
Marguerite Girault and others.

PRICE ONE GENT
EXPERIMENTS IN WIRELESS.
ARE BEING MADE HERE FOR
COMMERCIAL WORK.
Pole Has Been Erected Near
Second Street And Many
Conjecture Are
Made.

In Annapolis, from whose radiatipg
point many OF the largest ideas which
have TO do with the advancement of
things scientific and commercial, has
again been made one of the points
from which there will be hurled into
the camp of the commercial telegraph
and cable companies a bombshell
which will sooner or later give them
much concern.
Here is being conducted expert.
ments looking to the establishment of
wireless telegraph service through
out the United States which will
conduct a commercial business along
the lines of the old companies. There
has been established in Washington a
company known as the National Eleo-'
trio Signal Company, which, If its
plans work out as anticipated, will
work revolution in the history Of
telegrephy.
Just who the members of the com
pany are it has been impossible to
learn, but,with the small amount of
data at hand there is every reason TO
believe that they are men who are
we'll known in business life. For. sew
eral days there has been arriving in
Annapolis large amount of equip
ment in boxes, barrels and packages
of every description. To cap the
climax there was long. slender pole
of great strength in three sections.
This has been placed in the lot to
the rear of Chaney's stables close to
Second street and close to the most
select portion of Murray Hill. This
has been equipped with all the neoes-
sary wires and attachments for carry
ing on experiments in wireless teleg
raphy. On the opposite side of Sec
ond street has been erected a small
frame building to which is lead the
wires from the pole. In this building
has been placed a complete telegraph
outfit based on the sending of messages
by the wireless system.
The men employed in the work have
worked with the utmost secrecy, not
discussing the matter with anyone.
Mr.. A. N. McLuckie is in charge Of the
work, but he could not be reached to-
day for verification of the facts as
here set forth.

A STORY OF A HAM.
William Vincent Acquiring Lattice
Work Complexion = His
DeluSive Powers.

If all reports are true William Vim
cent, eolored, has powers of deduc-
tion far beyond the comprehension of
the dullest mind which is always
cropping in the wrong direction. Will
liam is employed by Daniel Sanders
aud has a close and intimate knowl-
edge of the conditions and arrange
ments of the yard to the rear of the
liquid dispensary.
1t is alleged that he used that
knowledge to produce hiatus in the
store house of the George w. Moss &
Co., establishment and also to secu re
the separation of Mr.. Sanders and
some of his money. William was one
of the most enthusiastic admirers of
the street pageant which had to do
with the trundling of Mr.. William III.
Freeman on a wheelbarrow.
AT the conclusion of that event and
when the celebration which imme-
diately followed in its wake was at
its height, William is said to have left
Sanders place of business by rear
door and found his way TO the store
room of Geo. w. Moss & Co. establish
ment. Among many and various
things there suspended to tempt an
epecurian palate was large ham. 1t
is claimed that William appropriated
the ham as necessary to the proper
celebration of the evening and bore it
in triumph to Mr.. Sanders place of
business. where he explained that he
had purchased it from white man
for two bits.
Mr.. Sanders bought it for so cents,
as he had no means of knowing that
it had been stolen. A few minutes
later Mr.. Trautwein, from whom the
ham had been stolen, appeared on the
scene and to him Mr.. Sanders offered
to sell the ham. Mr.. Trautwein is not
Sherlock Holmes, but by those COM
mon methods of reason which play
the mischief with the plans of those
" ho would transgress the laws OF the
land, came to the very reasonable con-
elusion that the ham was his property.
His reason was very logical, for the
ham bore strong distinguishing marks.
He conveyed his impression to
Patrolman Holiday, who lost no
time in gathering William into the
fold. This morning he was taken be-
fore Squire Feldmeyer He was un-
able TO tell q story which would ex-
plain away the many circumstances
which had conspired TO cause his ar
rest and in default of 500 bail was
committed to jail to await the action
of the grand jury.

THE SHOOTERSSHOOT CLUB
Pleasing Decorations For The New
Club Recently Erected On
South River.

Some of the finest examples of the
taxidermist's art ever seen in Annapo-
lis were shown a favored few this
morning. To those privileged to wit
ness the display iG came as a revela-
tion of what is possible in the way of
mounting and preserving specimens OF
the animal and bird kingdom.
DIR. Martin H. Smith, the former
we'll known Annapolitan, who is now
resident of New York, is the one to
whom credit is due for bringing to
this locality the splendid work DR..
Smith some time since.secured splen-
did estate on South river, which has
been fitted up in the most elaborate
manner. 1t has come to be known as
the local headquarters for the Shoot
ers Shoot Club of New York, of which
DR.. Smith is member.
The large number of birds and ami
mails which have been prepared by a
we'll known eastern taxidermist we're
secured by DR.. Smith for the purpose
of fitting up the club rooms of the
splendid estate. Practically every
game bird known to Maryland and
vicinity and every game animal which
is hunted by man and dog in this
state has place in the collection. In
addition there is an exceptionally
large elks' head mounted in a partic-
uIarly lifelike and imposing manner.
Today Mr.. Smith took the collection
to the club rooms, where, under his
personal direction, they were placed
in position. Next Saturday members
of the Shooters Shoot Club will come
down in body and remain over the
holidays. 1t will probably be the
largest gathering of the club outside
of the native state.

GORGEOUS ANDSPECTACULAR
CROWDS WITNESS WHEEL
BARROW PARADE.
In Panolpied Array The Pageant
Traverses The Principal
Thoroughfarts.

More fun than a box of monkeys, q
bunch of nigger chasers or ride on
the Ioop-the- loop was ths wheelbarrow
parade last night. Society was out
in force TO participate in the social
function which eclipsed any othe,
event of the season. At any to
those who witnessed the star pei or
nance with an all-star cast we're
pleased with the entertainment. Be
of all it didn't cost a cent, VIII cb
seems to be somewhat of eommen-
tary on the high art discernment of
amusement-loying Annapolis.
The chief hygastecuiis of the per-
formance was Mr.. William H. Free
man, who appeared before the au-
dience in pair of new b ots9and an
expansive smile Roosevelt had won
in canter and as a result it was or
dained that George Halbig should lose
in walk by trundling Freeman about
the streets in a wheelbarrow that all
might witness his triumph. The start
was made at the foot of Prince
George street and the only thing
which prevented the parade being
longer was that the street did not run
out into the bay. The panolpied pag-
cant formed in the midst of a large
crowd and much laughter Born aloft
at the head of the psfaGe was q
transparency asking Parker, Where
Art Thou?" On the reverse side was
dead. That's All. T"
Then cameIthe wheelbarrow insswhich
was seated Mr.. Freeman with a
three by six grin which would have
done credit to a wide-awake Cheshire
cat out for It'd bits. 1t was case of
effect preceding cause for walking be-
tween the handles of the barrow was
Mr.. George Halbig solemn as a fu-
neral cortege and glum as an owl.
Next came two drums which were be-
ing tortured beyond endurance by
Charles W. Brady and John X.
Fouche. A fife was being put through
the PAGES of the inquisition by o.
Stewart and a bunch of torches were
being directed by John Elliott and
Peter Parkinson. When the command
to move was given the barrow creak-
ed and groaned, wabbled unsteadily
on its single wheel, gathered head
way and started up town. The crowd
followed suit and it was hard to tell
whether the loser or winner received
the most chatting.
Interspersed with the moving pag.
cant were Robert Austin and John
Fisher as Weary Willies. - They
were aided and abetted by Happy
Hooligan'' AMI "Gloomy Gus" who
cut up more monkey shines than dog
and cat fishing for suckers. The pa.
rade moved up Prince George street tc
College avenue, to Main street and
down that thoughfare to Thomas cor.
ner. There Halbig gave a spasmodiC
jerk to the handle of the barrow, toss.
ed Freeman into the roadway and de.
cIared that the bet had been paid. Al
that, point Snake Baker, overcome
with-that is carried away by the
excitement of the occasion leaned uI
against building and set fire to the
transparency. The crowd dispersed
and the celebration was over TO be
revived and revivified when the next
election rolls around.
