During the times of the Crusaders,
a man with his five children, migrated

NO GRAFT AT NAVAL ACADEMY.
New York Worlds Hot Air Story
Denied Diphtheria Is
Exaggerated.

On Sunday last the New York
World printed a hot air story on graft
at the Naval Academy i'm the con-
struction of the new buildings.
The attention of Mr.. E Nj. Noel.
president of the Noel Uonstructin
Co, was called TO the Worlds story,
limiting at graft in connection with
the Naval Academy buildings, and
charging wanton expenditure of
money together with unsanitary con
ditions.
Mr. Noel said ho had heard nothing
of any complaint of defective construo-
tion in the buildings, or that there
was graft in the erection. There
has been no graft, he declared. IL
am in "A position TO know, for If there
had been any u would have been be-
tween the Navy Department and my
self or the Navy Department and the
architect, Mr.. Flagg. ] have heard OF
no intimation of graft, and there
could not have been any as the struc-
lures were awarded after sharp compe-
titi0n. Bancroft Hall is well yenti-
lated, and is one of the best-cunstruct-
ed buildings in the world / do not
hesitate moment TO make this state
ment. My bid on this structure was
~, AS. 900, SlS5. 900 below the next
UluNef.
Mr. Noel said il there Is any foun-
dation for the report of graft" in
the erection Of the buildings he would
like TO see an investigation.
Secretary Bonaparte stated that the
outbreak Of diphtheria at the Naval
Academy has been greatly exaggerat-
ed. His attention was brought TO the
matter last week through criticisms
of tho sanitary condition of the ouar.
ters occupied by the midshipmen and
he came to Annapolis to make a per-
sonal inspection.
Instead of finding eighty cases Of
diphtheria, as alleged, he says he
found about thirty cases and the out.
break under control MIR. Bonaparte
admitted that the sanitary installation
in the new quarters had been criti-
cised, but denied that hints Of graft
were warranted, and declared that
the whole affair had been exaggerated.

RAMSEY-GOULD BATTLE is ON.
Annua! Meeting Of Wabash Rail
road To Be Held This
Afternoon.
Special DisDatch to Evening capital

&A~@@%~@N
Toledo, o.. Oct l0.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Wabash Railroad will be held here
this afternoon. The meeting will be
of unusual Importance as it will prac
tically decide the battle between
Joseph Ramsey, Jr, the suspended
president of the Wabash Railroad and
George j. Gould, over the control of
the railroad.
Railroad men and financial men in
all parts of the country are looking
forward with great interest to the bat
tie, which win be fought out at the
meeting between the supporters of
Ramsey and the stockholders who have
sided with Mr. Gould Mr. Ramsey
was elected vice president and general
manager of the Wabash Railroad in
1895 and in 1901 was made president
OF the road, with the support of Mr..
Gould, who had repeatedly recognized
the ability and energy of Mr.. Ramsey.
Since then differences sprang up be-
tween the two men, principallysowing
to the fact that Mr.. Gould, ignoring
the official rights aud prerogatiyes of
Mr.. Ramsey, signed large contracts
for material and work over the head
of the president. Mr.. Ramsey. dis
satisfied with the policy of Mr.. Gould,
protesed against his action and at the
same time resigned his position as
president of the Wabash Pittsburg
Terminal Railway. In the early part
of the summer the directors OF the
Wabash Railroad held a meeting and
granted Mr.. Ramsey leave of absence
until October l.
1t is generally believed that it was
at Mr.. Gould's demand that the di.
rectors held another meeting the week
before the first of October and grant
ed an indefinite extension of Mr.. Ram
sey's leave of absence, which practi-
cally meant his removal as president
Mr.. Ramsey was present at the meet
ing and protested against the action
of the directors. The matter was then
laid over to be decided by the meet
ing of the stockholders. In the mean.
time MIR. Ramsey issued circular to
the stockholders, explaining his posi-
tion in the matter, defending his
course against Mr.. Gould and asking
the stockholders to give him the prox-
les for their stock Although many of
the smaller stockholders responded to
Mr.. Ramsey's appeal. it is believed
in financial and railroad circles that
Mr.. Gould will hold proxies for an
overwhelming number of the shares
and will practically control the meet
ing.
That would. naturally, mean the
defeat of Mr.. Ramsey and the sever
ance of his connection with the Wa
bash Railroad. 1t is believed by some
that Mr.. Ramsey will not let the mat
ter rest even in that case, but will ap-
peal to the courts, although his posi-
tion is considered hopeless

Dangerous.

Some few years ago, more or less,
the building of carpenter shop was
commenced on lot in the rear of the
Colonial Theatre. The building was
never completed for some unknown
reason. Probably the workmen went
on a strike or the price of lumber went
mp. However it may be the unfinish-
ed carpenter shop stands and serves as
8 rendezvous for boys who play hockey
or have nothing to do. Yesterday
there were nc less than six boys who
we're in the building, which, by the
way is frame. All the boys were
smoking. A lighted match carelessly
thrown away would set fire to the
building and perhaps burn down the
theatre and all buildings in the yicin-
ity. Some action should be taken TO
prevent the possibility of such dis
aster.
