FOUGHT WITH A JAPANESE.
He Tried to Force An Entrance TO
East Street Residence at
Early Hour This
Morning.

A dangerous encounter with Jana.
nese who fought desperately with his
eaptors was engaged in sthis morning
at an early hour on East street
Caught int he act of trying to enter n
residence where he was not known tho
man was given some rather rough
handling before he managed TO make
his escape The police will be asked
TO arrest him if he can be located.
The scene of the encounter was the
residence of Mrs. Emma Cannon. Mt
No. Is East street Had it not been
for the presence of two boarders in the
house there is no telling TO what ex.
tremes the unwelcome visitor might
have gone. If he bears no. further
evidence of the handling lie received
he probably has a badly swollen Jaw,
where IL came in contact with q well
directed fist.
Shortly after / O'Clock Mrs. Cannon
was awakened by hearing a downstairs
window being cautiously raised. Then
it closed, making quite considerable
noise. Mrs. Cannon went to n win
dow and asked who was trying to get
in. She heard mumbled reply and
then another attempt was made to
open the window. Mr.. Edward
Brooks and Mr.. Patrick Kane, who
live in the house. were awakened aud
they hastily descended the stairs.
Outside they found Japanese, who
was endeayoring to open a kitchen
window aud climb inside, but owing
TO his stature and the fact that box
he was trying 10 stand ON was un-
steady on its pins, he was not meeting
with much success. The two men
closed in on him and he resisted des.
perately. With hands and feet he
sought to force them away from him,
but they clung to him until they mad
reached the street. There he received
hard jolt on his inferior maxillarv.
which caused him to break loose and
dash down the street He was not
pursued and soon disappeared around
nearby corner.
What caused the attempt of the Jap
TO enter the house did not devolve, but
it is imagined that he made mistake
in the house and thought he was get
ting into another house where he has
been welcomed on other occasions. 1t
is understood that lthe Japsis attached
to one of the ships now in the harbor
and has since taken refuge on the
boat to which he is attached.

WARNS PoSTMASTERS
Must Not Attempt to influence
Legislation.

Second and third class postmasters
from ali over the country met in con-
VentiOn yesterday at Washington Post
master Genreal Cortelyou delivered an
address. in which. with evident ref
erence To the efforts of the carriers
association to influence legislation and
To become a political factor. he said
that it should be the duty and pleasure
of the Postmaster General to secure
for every employee such recognition
for his work and compensation there
for aS he found possible and consist
eft with the public interest. but it
must be clearly understood that the
officers of the Department and not the
officers or members of any organiza-
tion are the proper parsons to present
the Departments needs to Congress.
Mr.. Cortelyou added:
efficient as the postal service is,
there is still sad lack of good bust
ness in some of its branches, and many
years of routine methods have brought
about an inertia that is difficult to
overcome. | think we have altogether
too much red tape in the Department.
| think we go around too many corners
instead of making straight cuts to
results. But the weakness and diff
culties should be but incentives to
every man and woman in the service,
from the highest rank to the lowest,
to strive faithfully TO raise its stand
ard. that il may lie made the great
business establihment the people have
a right TO expect it to be. Every
postmaster. every employee. can con-
tribute his share in bringing this
about. and shalt hope that each will
do the work allotted him..

Mr.. Randall's Views

The Rev. W. t. Twamley. assistant
rector of st. Anne's, returned yester-
day afternoon from the Diocesan con-
yention which met in Baltimore. AT
last nights meeting Hon. J. Writ Ran
dali, who was also one of the delegates
from st. Anne's parish, expressed the
opinion that the men of the church
were hiding behind the skirts of the
women, and the women should not be
expected to take the place of commit
tees on missions. The women, he
said, were intended as only auxiliaries
to make up deficits. The convention
closed last night with a reception
given by Bishop and Mrs. Paret.

tion of the large vault tor the recent
ly organized Annapolis Banking and
Trust Company. and it is hoped that
within the next month the bank can
be opened in its permanent quarters.

make it absolutely burglar proof it
was necessary to remove a portion Of
the center foundation piers and deepen
the cellar. When the vault is COM
pleted, the wood work of the bank
will then be placed in position. This
will consume but a few days. The
company is transacting business in
the temporary quarters in the same

needn't think its has the only Philips
boy in the country. Annapolis has

but he likes to play marbles and spin
tops and to bat balls better than he
likes to go to school. Yesterday little
Philip had been playing truant and
the ubiquitous dog catcher, John
Fisher, not seeing any dogs in sight,
lassoed Philip and marched the young
ster off to school. The dog catcher
believes in keeping busy. and the boys
who play ''hookey" had better watch
out or the busy man may catch them
in lieu of dogs running around loose.
