CAN'T GET INTEREST
State Can Only Collect Principal from
Delinquent Corporations.

Interest cannot be collected by the
state on delinquent taxes collected from
railroads, telephone companies, and
other corporations, according to an
opinion filed with the public examiner
by Royal 4. Stone, assistant attorney
general. Mr.. Stone says that in the
trary taxes do not draw interest, no
matter how long they may have been
delinquent. Within the meaning of the
law, he says, tax is not debt, and
therefore does not draw interest.

Miss chaney's Condition

The condition of Miss Viola Chaney,
who was seriously injured by being
thrown from her horse a fortnight
ago. is somewhat improved. Miss
Chaney was able to sit up for brief
interval today, for the first time.
She is now taking medicine and
nourishment, which she has heretofore
refused. and although her condition is
still serious, her parents feel more en-
couraged and hope is entertained for
her recovery. A professional nurse
is still in attendance. The condition
of the young lady is pathetic. At
times she asks to see her pony Texas
that caused the accident. and she Is
strongly impressed with the idea that
she must return to school at the
Woman's College, Baltimore, and in
sists on reporting there on time. Her
lucid intervals are more frequent and
of longer duration and altogether the
outlook for her recovery. seems TO be
more encouraging. although 1t will be
very slow and probably very tedious.

DEMOCRATS PREPARE TICKET
NAMES OF THOSE TO BE
CONSIDERED.
Both Sides Are Warming Up to
The Political Situation For
The Municipal
Election.

With the municipal election less
than four months distant there is in
creased activity among the politicians
who would direct the voter to wise
selection of those who would serve the
city we'll.
Both parties are working hard TO
bring out the best possible material 10
be secured and the two tickets this
year promise 10 contain several good
names. In very few days there will
be meeting of the city executive
committee of the Democratic party TO
make up the ticket for primary CON
sideration. Although several tickets
nave been mentioned by friends of
the party aud many new names are
spoken, the ticket which is not recog-
nized by the executive committee as
yet. but which will probably be rati
fed by the body very shortly is being
freely circulated
Ii is headed by John dep. Douw for
Mayor, and Hugh Ridgely Riley for
Counsellor. The names mentioned in
connection with the First ward ticket
for aldermen are David Y. Bright,
James Il. Strange, who is the present
incumbent, and Elmer +. Parkinson,
who has been a member in the past.
In the Second ward are mentioned
Charles b. Abbott, DR. VIM s. Welch,
DIR. Frank H. Thompson. Howard b.
Taylor and Bernard Wiegard The
Third ward will have to decide be-
tween Harry Ellinhgausen, Joseph Ii.
Bells and Fred. Stehle.
Other names have been mentioned
more or less, but it is the concensuS
of opinion that those enumerated
above will have the inside track with
the executive committee when il gets
busy. The Republican city executive
committee has yet TO ratify the selee-
tion of candidates made at the last
meeting of the body and there is every
indication that several changes will
be made DIR. Chares b. Henkel re-
fuses absolutely to make the race and
some other person will have to be
found to fill the vacancy existing on
the ticket.
The friends of i. Arrintgon Thomp-
son are also anxious to get him place
On the ticket and will make every
effort To arrive at some amJcable ar
rangement whereby it will be possible
for MIN to make the trial of retaining
his seat. It is claimed by his friends
that he has been the best representa-
tive of his race in the Council and
that to prevent him from making the
race at this time would be of the most
ungrateful nature.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC HEAVY.

Chicago, Ill, March $3.50 heavy
is the freight traffic at present that
the roads running east from Chicago
are reported 80, 600 cars short of meet
ing their present orders. Shipments
of genreal merchandise are now break
ing all records. East bound shipments
of grain have also increased greatly,
so that the roads are pressed in both
directions to meet their demands.
Orders for additional equipment will
have to be increased to place the roads
in easv circumstances. 1t is also stated
that the volume of west bound gen.
eral merchandise over the Western
roads is beyond all precedent, and the
equipment capacity of these roads, too.
is taxed to the utmost. Officials say
that large as the volume of merchan-
disc traffic now is, it is barely sufficient
to meet the consumptiye necessities
of the sections to which it is consign-
ed. The merchandise is going into
consumption just as fast as it reaches
its destination. Country merchants
are accommodating no stocks. and, in
deed, have difficulty in getting their
goods delivered TO them fast enough
to supply their immediate needs.
Should the year bring forth average
crops. every road in the country will
be in urgent need of large additions

Today there was a complete reorgan-
ization of the home fleet and Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans assumed
command of the North Atlantic feet.
For the first time in the history of
the new navy of the United States
the country has an actual fleet organ
ization for its home squadron.
This involves the abolishment of the
European and South Atlantic fleets
and putting the vessels comprising
them in the new fleet. Organized into
squadrons and divisions, the vessels
arranged according TO tactical units,
III is believed at the Navy Department
that the home fleet will be much more
efficient than ever before. Rear Ad-
miral Evans will be the commander
in-chief of the entire North Atlantic
fleet.
Instead of having battleship squad
ron, a South Atlantic squadron, a
training squadron and a European
fleet, the North Atlantic deet is to be
organized into a first, second, third,
coast and destroyer squadrons, with
six divisions, each of which can be
detached at any time@nd sent either
to Europe, South Atlantic waters or
wherever the Department may direct

sion of the North Atlantic fleet. con-

brought TO Annapolis this afternoon.
Leazer was lodged in "murderer' $

jail and every precaution taken to
prevent his escape or forcible removal.
AT the time of the arrest Sheriff
Hardy stated that he did not intend to
bring Leazer TO Annapolis until the
time set for his trial, because the
Baltimore Jail was considered a much
safer place. The expense, however. of
keeping him in Baltimore and the fact
that all fear of lynching was at an
end, induced Sheriff Hardy TO bring
him to Annapolis.
This morning the Sheriff. accom-
panied by Deputies Bryan and Small

The fact that Leazer was brought

ably be a meeting of the board of CON
