IRE NOT ENLISTED MEN.
NAYDEN'S PENSION BILL
CAUSES TROUBLE
Discovered That The Naval Acad-
envy Band Is Not Composed
of Enlisted Men.

BY the effort of William Nayden. Of
the Naval Academy Band, TO secure
retirement and pension of $50 sper
month is brought TO light a singular
condition which exists relative TO the
standing and recognition OF the band
as part of the Navy.
A bill for his retirement was intro
duced by Senator McComas and if il
is passed by reason of an alleged cler-
lcal error in recording him as a civil
ian employe of the department instead
OF an enlisted man, he will be the
only man in the band who can be
possibly so recognized as entitled co a
pension.
1t is alleged that when he entered
the band mistake was made in not
recording him as an enlisted man,
but the fact has developed by reason
OF his application that the members OF
the Naval Academy Band are not en-
listed men. They have no standing
as far as their control by the Naval
Academy authorities is concerned. OF
all the bands IN the government SER
vice. both Navy and Army, this is the
ouly band in which the men are not
enlisted. Prof. O. A. Zimmerman
and the men under his direction wear
the government uniform, must live M
to the rules of the Naval Academy
and yet receive none of the benefits
secured by members of other govern.
ment bands.
1t is maintained that at such an i'm
portant place as the Naval Academy
the members of the band should be en-.
listed and given an opportunity OF
sharing the same benefits as are ac-
corded members of other government
bands. Should they so desire, mem
bers of the local band could fail to re.
port for duty unless it suited their
fancy and no further punishment than
discharge could be inflicted on them.
Mr.. hayden entered the Naval Acad.
emy Band in 1868 and is now "a years
of age. He entered the service as al
enlisted man, but upon the re-organi.
zation of the Naval Academy the band
was not composed of enlisted men ano
has continued as civilians ever since.
What will be the result of the action
Of the Senate in tie case of Nayden' Is
application is awaited with great in.

ELECTED OFFICERS.
The Annapolis Gun Club Holds
Meeting.

At meeting of the Annapolis Gun
Club, which was held last night, plans
were discussed looking to utilization
with a state organization Of shooting
clubs. The Baltimore and Prospect
clubs of Baltimore will be communi-
Gated with in reference to the forma-
tion of the league and the chances are
that the local club kwill become
identified with the state organization.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
President-Thom Z. Strange.
Secretary-Jchn Levy.
Treasurer-John M. Boucher.
Captain-George Heintz, Jr.
All of the above officers were re-
elected to their old offices with the
exception of that of Mr.. Heintz, who
will succeed DR.. Rudolph Smith as
captain of the club. The club decided
TO combine the class A and class b
shooters into one class, to shoot from
Is yards, instead of from Is and 16
yards, as has been the custom. A new
class-C-will be for the beginners,
who will shoot from IA yards.

BUILDING THE scAFFoLD
Julius Cooper Awaits The Day
of Execution.

From his cell on the third floor of
the county Jail, shut in by bolts and
bars which will open only to permit
him to pass to his death, sits Julius,
alias "Tots" Cooper, listening to the
sounds which, enter from the outside
and tell of the approaching day of his
execution.
The instrument of death, the tall,
gaunt and rough scaffold, from which
he will be swung into eternity, is
slowly taking shaUe and form. Mr..
HOlidayoke, who has the Contract
for building the scaffold, began work
yesterday, and expects TO have the
work completed in few days. 1t is
being erected in the usual place direct
Iy back of the Jail and hidden from
Calvert street by the Jail building.
Cooper passes his days in lolling
about on the cot in his cell and at
times pacing backward and forward
within the narrow limits of the corri-
dor. Although formerly an inveter-
ate cigarette smoker, he is doing but
little smoking at present. He seems
to appreciate his condition more than
he did earlier in his confinement and
counts the days yet remaining to him.

TO PAY BY THE MONTH.
PLAN ON FOOT TO EMPLOY
PHYSICIANS.
]. E. Hebline to Introduce Mining
Region System of Medical
Attendance.

A system which has met with great
success and which is very popular in
the mining regions of this state. rela.
tive to the employment of a physician
at a set figure for the year is about
to be tried in Annapolis. Subscrip-
tions are now being taken looking to
the establishment of such q system and
it is claimed that considerable success
has already been met with by those
having the matter in hand.
1t is being pushed by Mr.. j. +. Heb
line, well known for the discovery OF
plans which are unique and novel.
The plan, as proposed by Mr.. Hebline,
is TO secure large number of subscrib-
ers TO pay 81 per month for medical
attendance the year round. If the
present plans do not miscarry, the sub.
sician and Mr.. Hebline will pay them
for the calls they make.
II some of the subscribers are not in
need of medical attention for an ell,
tire year, they are at least insured
against i'll health for that time.
Others may have considerable sickness
which might, under ordinary circum.
stance, amount to several hundred dol
lars III year, but the cost to them
would not exceed $12 for the entire
period. The plan is essentially the
same as is used in the mining regions
of Maryland. Allegany county, where
thousands of men are employed.
There the physicians receive 81 pei
month from the subscriber and are
supposed to treat the entire family.
Some physicians have as many as
/, 500 subscribers. The subscription
is taken from the wages of the men
and sent to the physicians, who re-
ceive all of their money on the first OF
the month. 1t is thought that the ply
sicians here would not care to work
under that system, but by having Mr..
Hebline as third party they would
receive as much per visit as under the
present system.
With Mr.. Hebline it would be a
clear case of gamble as he would have
no means of telling how many calls he
would have to pay during the year.
The physicians would lose nothing
nor would the subscribers, but Mr.. Heb.
line would have to stand the profit OF
loss which might result. 1t could not
be learned whether or not any of the
local physicians had entered into the
plan, as the idea is still in a forma.
tive state, although it is said that it
will be pushed to completion.

his mother had placed at his disposal

His expenses scared in direct inverse

WITH THE FIRE COMPANIES
THE LOCAL FIRE FIGHTERS
MAKE CHANGES.
Joseph II. Bells Is Elected Chief
Fire Marshal Without Any
Opposition.

Al meeting of the three fire COM
panies of the city last night Mr..
Joseph H. Bells was elected fire mar.
shal for the ensuing year. His was
the only name placed in nomination
and his election was made unanimous
This will be Mr.. Bells third term as
marshal.
Efforts are being made by the men,
bers of the Waterwitch Hook and Lad
der Company to secure q new truck
TO take the place of the old one, which
has seen better days. The old one is
in very delapidated condition and
can last but short time longer unless
a large sum is expended for repairs.
1t is thought by members of the COM
pany that a new one could be secured
for but little more than il would cost
TO place the old one in good condition
Al the next meeting of the City
Council delegation will be present
to ask for an appropriation for the
purchase of new truck. The other
two companies, at the same time, will
ask for new noZzles for both the old
and the new hose. The valves in the
old nozzles have become badly worn
and it is feared that they will play
out at a critical period.
A meeting OF the Independent Com
pany was held last night at which Mr.
William White, driver for the COM
pany. was elected a member of the
company and another application was
received to be investigated by the
committee. 1t was reported that con-
siderable delay had been experienced
in the matter of installing the hot
water heater for the engine, but that
it was hoped to complete it in very
few days.
The recessed doors in the front of
the Independent Company house have
been removed and placed flush with
the front of the building. A sliding
door has been put in place which will
now permit of the hose reel being run
out without the need of backing it up
and running it out after the truck had
been despatched to fire. This will
make it possible to hitch up the entire
three pieces of equipment at the same
time in case of an alarm of fire. Many
other changes will be made in the
near future, which will convert the
house into a regular metropolitan fire
station.
