MAY AFFECT PENSION.
Discovery OF Article of Constitu-
tion Opposed to The State
Pension System.

A discovery which is liable TO
"throw scare" into the state teach.
ers and judges of the various circuits
was made at the State House yester-
day. If the discovery is pushed in
the manner in which certain persons
claim it will be it will cause the with
drawal of pensions which are being
paid to judges and school teachers
upon retirement at a certain age.
Whether or not the matter viii be
taken up before the next session of
the Legislature is not known, but a
movement is expected in certain
quarters which will cause stoppage
of the payment of pension for the
present at least. Section 50, Article 3,
of the Maryland Constitution, explicit
ly states that no system of pension
ing shall be- adopted by the Legisla-
ture and this would seem TO be direct
ly opposed to the system of pensioning
school teachers ana judges.
It was while investigating the word
ing of the Constitution with reference
to the manner in which constitutional
conventions shall be called that the
Section and Article mentioned was
found. Members of the Board of Pub
lie Works who were engaged in max
ing the search of the Constitution were
rather surprised at the wording of
the Article and that it had not pre-
sented the passage of the legislation
which provides a pension of 500 per
IN n to judges.

ewitz, colored, employed as laborer
ut the Naval Academy by the Ferro
Concrete Company and Noel Construc
tiOn Company, while at work on the
new chapel this -morning, fell dis
tanee of fifty five feet, sustaining ser
ious injuries.
The mans leg and arm were frac-
tured and his skull was fractured by
the fall He was removed to the
Emergency Hospital. where the frae-
tured bones were reduced. His CON
dition is thought TO be- very serious.
The injured man was at work on the
scaffolding at the new chapel at the
time of the accident and fell kwith his
wheelbarrow. He was picked up in
an unconscious condition and removed
TO the Academy sick quarters. where
restoratives were applied and he was

TO PROTECT LIFE.
Need Guards And Life Preserv-
ers at Market.

At its next meeting the City Coun.
Gil will probably be asked to place
tenders round the fish market for the
protection of some of the fishermen
Who have fallen into the habit of fall
ing overheard after dark.
The fish market is directly over the
City Dock. and ON several occasions
some of the fishermen have actually
walked overheard from their stalls.
Perhaps it was for the reason of being
fished ouf, as. they like fishy company.
La. night one of the local fishermen
had an unexpected cold bath and a
fishy experience. He couldn't fnd
the keyhole and in his effort tumbled
into the dock with his fishy friends.
He was soon fished out, however,
and the only damage done was sud
den bath in chilly water on ali abnor-
mally cool evening in June. An effort
is being made to provide the fish mar
ket with life preservers as well as
tenders to prevent the fishermen fall
ing into the City Dock.

PRICE ONE GENT
BY SILVER WOLF
TRAINER AT THE CARNIVAL
IS INJURED.
Miss Russell Has Exciting Expert
enee With Untamed
Animal.

Probably the most successful night
of the week was that at the carnival
of the independent Fire Company
last night. The attendance was all
that could be expected and the visitors
patronized all the shows ON the
ground. Mamie, the fire dancer, and
Miss Russell, tine wild animal tanner,
continue TO be the chief attractions of
the carnival and their acts are watch
ed with great interest.
The fire dance is n particularly
pleasing act and very instructive. The
unfortunate part of the wild animal
is that all of the anmials are green
stock which have never been trained
and consequently cannot be put through
their PAGES with that finish which as
possible with animals which have had
some training.
This morning Miss Russell met with
an accident, which might have result
ed disastrously to her. She was in the
cage with three bears. the wolf and
hyena, and was trying TO introduce
the animals TO the new manner OF liv-
ing. which will consist in their doing
all sorts of stunts. She had managed
Co get the wolf in fairly good con-
diti0n and attempted to place a collar
uuOub hlS hoNk. AHStIeu hN ptlnk
oornered for long length of time, he
turned ON her and sunk his fangs in
her right arm, striking the bone.
Quickly releasing her arm he caught
her in the right thigh, drawing blood
and leaving the marks of all his teeth.
He then broke loose and tried TO escape
in another part of the cage, but Miss
Russell was close after him, giving
him beating which he will remem-
her for some time. To show him that
she had no fear of his teeth, she forced
him TO do the few tricks which have
already been taught him. Then she
left the cage aud hurried way to se-
cure medical treatment.
Miss Russell stated that she had no
fear of the animals, but frequent re-
marks have been made about town that
she will be killed before she leaves
the city if she attempts to enter the
cage of Wallace, the great untamed
lion who has already the death of one
man TO his credit.

THE OPPOSING ARMIES.
Another Heavy Battle May Be on the
Program For the Coming Week.

st. Petersburg, March 30.-AnotheI
duel between the opposing armies in
Manchuria may be on the program fol
the coming week. The Russians, ac-
cording to the Hardin correspondent,
are now strongly fortifying their po-
sitiOns at Sipinghai against which the
Japanese are reported to be gathering
in force The reported Russian re-
tirement from Sipinghai to Chaoumia-
odzi was incorrect, due to telegraph
ic error in the confusion of similar
Chinese names ChaoumiaoidZi with
Shuamyaotzi, south of Sipinghai,
whence the Russian advanced force
retired to the fortified line at SPIN
ghai The Japanese followed to some
extent, but a border of 20 miles of de-
batable ground still remains between
the two armies, over which the Jap
anese probably will not advance until
they are ready to attack. Equally i'm
portant news is that a column of Jap
anese is moving against Kiran with
the intention of turning the position
eastward and striking at the VladiyO
stok line of communication with the
double purpose of isolating the for
tress and separating Gen. Linevitch's
army from a valuable base Of supply,

First Practical Step Has Reen
Taken in the Reorganization
of the Commission.
PRESENT MEMBERS RESIGNED.
The New Appointments Probably Will
Be Announced During the Presi-
dents Southern Trip.
4 Recent Opinion of Attorney General
Moody Held That Under the
Law Seven Members Must
Be Named in All.

Washington, March 3O.-The first
practical step, having in view the re-
organization of the Panama canal COM
mission, was taken when in compli-
ance with instructions from President
Roosevelt Secretary Taft requested
the members of the commission to ten
der their designations. This request
was promptly complied with by those
members of the commission now in
Washington and their designations
were placed in the hands of the presi-
dent Thursday. The purport of Sec
rotary Taft's letter requesting the res
ignations Of the commissioners was
sent to Maj. Gen. George w. Davis,
retired, of the army, the governor of
the canal zone and also one of the
members of the commission and a
prompt answer is expected from him.
AS indicated in the letter of Secre-
tary Taft the designations are request
ed in order that the president may
have a free hand in recognizing the
commission.
SOuSOilCO WIFI SCSIObdIV dIls
That the president contemplated the
reorganization of the commission has
been known for some time and he has
been in frequent consultation with
Secretary Taft as to his future policy
in choosing it's personnel and direct
ing it's work. 1t was believed Origi-
nally that better results might be ac-
complished by the appointment of a
smaller commission than that now eX-
listing, but a recent opinion of Attor-
ney General Moody held that under
the law the president was required to
name seven members in all The ap-
pointments probably will be ANNOUNCE
ed by the president during the pro-
.ress of his southern trip.
The members of the present COM
mission in addition to Gen Davis are
