AS The City Collector And
Treasurer.

A big surprise was sprung this
morning when it became known that
Mr.. W. II. Rullman hadsdeclined the
position of collector treasurer Of An-
napolis, to which he was elected last
Monday night by the City Council
after he had come out rs an avowed
aspirant for the job.
Mr.. Rullman stated to a reporter Tor
the Capital that he felt that he could
not properly attend TO the duties OF
the Office and his drug business at the
same time, and therefore felt IL best
TO resign the position rs collector
treasurer. A special meeting OF the
Council is therefore necessary that the
position may be filled ut once and be-
fore the first of August.

session of the city fathers for Monday

RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED.
Democratic Convention Endorsed a
Strong Report From The
Committee.

In addition TO the naming OF the can
didates for the coming county elec-
tion, yesterday the Democratic Coun-
~ Convention received the report
from its committee on resolutions and
credentials and adopted them.
The first resolution reported was
that dealing with roads in the coun-
ty. The resolution dealt upon the
necessity of new and modern road
law. and advocated the subdividing
of the present road districts into
smaller areas, that those sections which
desired expensive and more modern
roads might be given their desire,
without necessitating the sharing of
the expense involved by those taxpay-
ers who did not feel that they could
afford such improvements
Another resolution adopted dealt
with the suffrage amendment calling
upon "every democrat worthy to be
called a democrat, and every white
man worthy to be called white man.
for full and unqualified support of che
amendment This resolution, when
read by the chairman of sthe commit.
tee reporting it, was a source of great
enthusiasm and brought forth round
after round of applause The same
stated that the convention
and the real Democratic voters of the
county had full confidence in the per-
sonal leaders and with this full conf
dence expected obedience when il de-
manded absolute fairness in the cleo
tion and would not tolerate any trick
cry.

PRINTING BILL FIXED. !"
After Passage By Legislature The
Appropriation Is Raised
$1,000.
LOW BIDDER WITHIN ONE DOL
LAR OF AMOUNT.
Proper Figure Was $4,000 And
King Brothers Bid Was
$4,000.

Under the provisions of the State
Printing Lawspassed at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly, the
Board of Public Works, composed of
the Governor, the State Comptroller
and the Secretary of State, this morn
ing opened the bids for the state print
ing for the coming year
There was q much larger number of
competing printers from all over the
state than heretofore. the custom hav-
ing been in the past for the bids for
this work to be opened and awarded
by the Clerk of thesCourt of Appeals.
The lowest bidder todaykfor the job of
doing all of Maryland's sprinting for
the coming year was King Brothers,
of Baltimore, whose figure was $17, 500
ST under $4,000
The contract was not finally award
ed, the board taking the bids under
consideration before giving out the
work. At the meeting of the Board
of Public Works. which was held in
the Comptroller's office in the new
Court of Appeals Building. it became
known that. there had been trickery
practiced in the handling--of the state
printing bill, which was introduced
in the last Legislature by Senator Gill.
The 1 bill as signed by Governor
Warfeld land printed in the Public
Laws of Maryland of 1904. contained
and carried with it an appropriation
of $25, 600. The bill as introduced by
Senator Gill and passed by both the
House and Senate, however, carried
an appropriation of only $18, 600. Gov
ernor Warfield explained this to the
representatives of the various bidders
this morning and before opening the
bids stated that no bids over $1S, 600
would be considered, and following
this Comptroller Atkinson made a for
NAL motion to this effect, which was
carried by the board as whole.
1t is evident that the bill of Sena-
tor Gill was tampered with after its
passage by the two branches of the
Legislature as by following its course
through the journals and records OF
the last session of the.Legislature with
its author the Governor has been un-
able to find any record of an amend
ment. A slip of paper had, however,
been pinned TO it showing an alleged
mendment-" striking out SIS. 900 and
substituting in lieu thereof $25, 600.
When this was done, or by whom is
not known. but the amendment or
alleged amendment was engrossed in
the final bill.
Governor Warfield was most strong
in his announcement of such trickery,
saving that the author of such a
scheme should be severely dealt with
il he could be located. Other bidders

officers, I3; Plebes, II.

The baseball team of second lieuten-
ants at the Marine School of Applica-
tion yesterday afternoon defeated the
team of the Plebe class of the Naval
Academy by score of 13to 12 in close
and interesting ten-inning game. The
contest was played on the Academy
diamond. and was a tie from the
eighth inning. both sides having then
made ten tallies.
In the ninth neither side scored, and
the Plebes went first to bat in the
tenth The first three men up, how
ever, were out either at first or the
plate, and the officers took their last
chance at the game. 1t was not until
two men were out that one of the sol
der sailor officers was forced across
the plate for the winning run as
darkness was closing down.

Both Justices Injured.

Justice was misnomer in some re-
spects yesterday for both village JUS
tices did not get justice. Justice Chad
bourne while leaving the Corner drug
store slipped on the icy stone steps
and he fell heavily, striking his left
side on the sharp corner Of the step.
The fall and sudden shock resulting
from the injury rendered Mr.. Chad
bourne helpless and he had great
trouble to get his breath for few
minutes. DR.. Arimtage was at the
store at the time and he went at once
to the assistance of Mr.. Chadbourne
and made an examination. It was
found that no bones had been broken.
the injury consisting of severe bruises
and wrenching of the muscles. Hap
PLY the injury was not on Mr.. Chad
bourne's right side which received
rough treatment by an enraged bull
many years ago and MIR. Chadbourne' IS
life was despaired of for some time.
Mr.. Cnadbourne was taken home and
will not be able to get about for a
few days.
Justice Norton came to earth with a
dull, thud while walking on the slip
perry walk the same day. He pitched
forward and fell on his head, in such
a manner that one of his eyes was
badly bruised and now he is kept
busy telling how the other fellow looks.

The Bridge 4 Go.

The movement for the construction
OF the bridge over the river to connect
with the judicial road south Of town
is progressing in very satisfactory
manner. and pledges for cash payment
are better than many expected. The
county commissioners of Mile Lacs
county recognizing the value of a
bridge at that point and the iustness
OF request for a reasonable appro-
priation, will without question do
what is right in the matter and the vii
1age council of Princeton will also as
slst the project by making an appro-
priation that will swell the fund that is
needed to build the bridge. There is
no expectation that the county COM
missioners of Sherburne county will
90 anything in the matter, and there
is no assurance that any money will
be Forthcoming from any road and
bridge appropriation from the legis-
lature, as there are so many demands
for relief from that source. But the
men who are behind the bridge matter
feel that enough money can be raised
to build a bridge that will answer the
purpose for some time to come.

Endorsed Reciprocal Demurrage.

A meeting of the business men of
Princeton was held at the office of M.
). Rutherford last Tuesday evening
to consider the reciprocal demurrage
bill now before the legislature and
which is being opposed by the rail
road interests of the State. The bill
and it's provisions in the interest of
the shippers great and small, was dis
cussed and vigorous resolutions were
passed endorsing the bill and request
ing the members of the legislature
from this district to support the meas
ure in every way possible. kilograms
were also sent to them at St. Paul yes
terday morning, as the bill was up in
the house yesterday forenoon as a
special order. The matter of a new
hotel in Princeton also was brought
up but it met with a sudden frost as
there did not appear to be anyone who
desired to take the initiative in the
matter OF seeing that a good, first
class hotel was put up in Princeton the
coming year. All admitted that the
town needs new hotel very badly,
but when it was suggested that COM
mittee be named to canvass the matter
and see if private subscriptions could
not be raised toward helping the
project along, there was a retrogade
movement that clearly demonstrated
that if anyone wants to build first
class hotel in Princeton he can hunt
up the opportunity and all particulars
himself without the help of any per-
sons in Princeton.
