Mayor Moores' pronunciamento against
"barroom legislation" and the councils
order that no departmental head may
leave the city without securing permission
from that body are the chief topics Of
conversation at the city hall. Councimen
are asking II the mayor expects them to
sign a pledge; some are angry because the
mayor did not specify what particular
councilmen he meant and others are angry
on general principles.
Maybe the mayor is going to lead a
reform ticket next spring." remarked one
OF the city fathers. "Of course it's all
right to talk that way. but it's going to
be an awful thing II man can't get a
drink Just because he belongs to the coun-
ell. Perhaps we shall have to get plant

II will be remembered that the mayor
placed no restriction on a councilman $

is not related to the Back family or TO any

thinks he can get things patched up so
Tony will remain.
Persons familiar with the city engineer

Census returns on school population in

have been received at the ONCE of County
Superintendent Bodwell from all but Dis

While the increases in given districts are
not large, they reach an encouraging total.
Some of the small country districts show
losses, which probably are accounted for
by the increases in the towns.

The Commissioners baseball club has
been In existence since the days OF the
old Departmental League. and has al
ways been one Of the strongest factors
in amateur ball in the District.
In 1903 and 1904 the Departmental
League did not organize. but the Com
missioners played Independent ball with
teams in this city and Baltimore, and
made good showing. The club got
together earlier than usual for this sea-
sc:. campaign. and at the time the De-
partmental League was reorganized Ii
had adopted a long schedule of inde-
pendent games so that IT did not enter
the league this year
The past year has probably been the
best in the history of the team. The
Commissioners have defeated every team
they have played except the Nationals
who defeated them 5 10 0. and the
Georgetown varsity team, which van
quished them in rafting good game by
the score of TO 4. They defeated the

the only game played by the score Of
