The TABLE, LEAGUE.


At the annual meeting OF the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League a resolu-
ton was adopted demanding that the
tariff be let alone "until such time as
Il shall have been clearly demonstra-
ted by general experience and practi-
cal knowledge that changes in the
schedules will be productive Of a de-
gree Of benefit to the whole country
that shall outweigh the disadvantages
aud the injuries resulting from tariff
revision" In other words until the
priests Of high protection are willing
to admit that the condition OF the
country requires revision, no revision
must be attempted. Demonstrating
by general experience and practical
knowledge the Earmfulness Of the
present schedules will be quite impos-
sible 10 the case OF the fostered indus-
tries whose directors are incapable Of
seeing beyond the bounds Of their own
shops and factories and get their idea
OF the country's general welfare by
viewing the extent OF their own. As a
matter Of fact, il has already been
proved to the satisfaction OF the great
er number "by general experience and
practical knowledge" that the country
has outgrown series of schedules
that were a misft in the beginning,
and that were made high by the spec
ious argument and the false pretense
that the tariff trainers considered re-
ciprocity, the true sister Of protection.
The faVoriteism and injustice OF the
Dingley schedules are becoming in
creasingly apparent month by month
and week by week. The stand pat
tiers" know that II they can get over
the present crisis they will stand bet
ter chance TO defeat the Teyisionists.
In another year the question of revis-
ing the tariff will not stand on its
merits It will be complicated by the
OF i;s political expediency
and dozens Of Congressman who would
now vote for revision will then fear
TO antagonize the special interest in
their districts by yielding to their
sanity.

decided that the time was ripe TO wipe
out the score and begin with clean

which he would like to make at this

All of the members of the company
were notified to be present at the As

The following report has been issued
by acting section director OF the
Weather Bureau, Il. ID. Emigh, for
the week ending July 5:
The week was cool. dry and pleasant
and an excellent one for growing
crops, for the moisture in the soil was
sufficient to supply the demands of
vegetation. Rapid advancement in
farm work was also permitted.
The outlook for apples has been re-
duced by dropping until only fair
prospects remain. Early apples are
ripening. Pear indications are still
fair, but peaches continue to drop and
promise light yield. A large crop
of black berries and red and black rasp-
berries is being marketed. Tobacco,
for the most part, is thriving. 1t has
been worked and is very promising
Potatoes are so plentiful in some local
ities that they are being fed to cows
and pigs. Their quality is fine.

''to greet such splendid soldiers of

DO NOT WANT OFFICER
Some Residents of Germantown De-
sire Lights.

Considerable interest was engender-
ed in the morning session of the coun-
ty commissioners relative to the matter
of a special policeman in the Second
district, which subject has been
brought up at nearly every meeting of
the board recently.
Mr.. James Owens appeared before
the board in behalf of several resi- :
deents of the neighborhood of Ger
mantown who are opposed to retaining
the officer, they being in favor of dis
pensing with him and securing two
more lights. Mr.. James Bannon,
counsellor to the board, stated to Mr..
Owens that inasmuch as the parties
which Mr.. Owens represented had ap-
pealed to the court to restrain, the
board from paying the salary of the
special policeman, the commissioners
could not very well take action in the
matter
Mr.. Owens stated that he aid not
care to argue the matter with refer
ence to the payment of the officer,
but simply on the score that major
ity of the residents of the territory
effected were desirous of dispensing
with the officer. The board, however,
refused to 90 on record in the matter
and stated that If the plaintiffs in the
injunction proceedings deposited the
bond of $500 as required it would file

HE is NOT A RESIDENT OF CITY.
Judge Revcll Decides That DR..
LOUIS Henkel Is Resident
of County.

Thirty-nine registration appeal
cases were disposed of in the Circuit
Court before Judge Revell today.
In many cases the appeals of the pro-
testants who had been stricken from
the books were granted and the board
of election was empowered to grant
them registration. In other cases,
however, the appellants lost their ap-
peals and will have to comply with
certain conditions before they will be
enabled to participate in any later
election.
OF the greatet interest, however, was
that in which DR.. Louis b. Henkel.
Jr., appealed from the action of the
registers in striking his name from
the books on the ground that he was
not resident-of the city, but made
his home in Eastport. The court de-
cided that DIR. Henkel, who is city
health officer, did not have legal res
idence in the city and consequently
was entitled to vote in some place
other than the city of Annapolis.
Judge Revell stated, in delivering
the opinion, that DIR. Henkel's s testi-
mony was not of very satisfactory
nature and lacked assurance. Just
what effect this decision Will have
relative to the position of city health
officer is not known. The decisions in
the other cases could not be consider
ed in the natrue of sweeping victory
for either party, although the fact
that more Republican names had been
originally stricken off did result in a
loss of Republican votes as backed VI
by the decision of the court.

It is NEARING COMPLETION
The Handsome New Chapel At The
Naval Academy of Sur
passing Beauty.
VISIBLE FOR GREAT DISTANCE
When Finished Will Deserve Place
Among The Most Imposing
Structures.

The new chapel in the grounds OF
the United States Naval Academy is
rapidly nearing completion, and its
SURPRISING beauty is already delight
TO the eye. When the finishing touch
is added the structure will deserve
place among the most imposing houses
of worship in the world.
The chapel, which will cost $400, 600,
is located near the center of the Acad-
emy grounds, and its dome, which is
210 feet above sea level, is visible to
great distance down the Chesapeake
Bay. In form the structure follows
the outlines of a Grecian cross. The
main floor, says writer in the Wash
ington Star, is a circle and has diam
eter of SO feet inches, but extending
on each side are transepts or wings,
giving the exterior a width of I16 feet
inches on a line with the transepts,
while the outside wall of the structure
is 130 feet.
The building is IS feet high and over
it the dome rises an additional 126
feet. The dome is 60 feet in diameter
at its base, 1t is supported by a SER
les of columns. One cupola of the
dome forms the ceiling of the chapel,
which is 40 feet above the main floor.
A second cupola, which is 33 feet
inches above the first, supports a Ian
tern As feet 8 inches high, which is
entered by narrow stairway built in
the walls of the lower part of the
chapel and through the first cupola.
Near the top of the dome is balcony,
from which an excellent view of the
Chesapeake Bay and surrounding coun-
try can be had.
Under the main floor of the chapel
is large crypt with space for numer-
GUS tombs Broad stairways lead to
this large area in circular form, where
provisions can be made from time to
time for receiving the bodies of emf
nent naval commanders. 1t is befitting
that the first tomb be occupied by the
remains of John Paul Jones, the faith
er of the United States Navy. Light
concrete material is used in the con-
struction of the walls of the chapel
and dome. The walls of the building
aresof..granite.and glazed brick. Caen
stone will be used in the inside walls,
while the main floor will be of ferro
concrete covered with Indian lime-
stone. The exterior wall of the build
ing will bo rs inches thick; then comes
a space of three feet six inches fol-
lowed by the second wall, which will
be 12 inches thick, giving a total
thickness of six feet.
Ornamental terra Gotta will be used
in covering the concrete columns sup
porting the dome as well as the dome
itself, which is built of concrete ma
terial. The ceiling of the chapel will
be ornamented and paneled and in
the center of each panel are electric
lights. Eight concrete columns sup
port the dome, while the arches of
the transepts are supported by the
same number of smaller columns. The
ferro concrete arches and cupola are
only from five to eight inches thick,
but the steel reinforcements given
them are the necessary strength.
