COCK FIGHT COMPLAINT
Is HELD insufficient
COURT GRANTS ISSUANCE OF
HABEAS CORPUS
Decision in Scofield Case Is Adverse to
Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals and Other
Persons Will Seek Relief

Judge Smith of the superior court
yesterday granted the application for
a writ of habeas corpus made by F. N.
Scofeld who was fined for attending
a cock fight near Pasadena several
months ago, holding that the complaint
made by the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals was insufficient.
Attorney w. Wallace Wideman, who
represented Scofeld, will at once be-
gin suit to recover numerous fines paid
by parties who have been penalized
upon similar complaints.
The decision is based upon the form
of the complaint and does not affect the
constitutionality of the legislative act
authorizing the organization of the So
ciety.
Eight persons who attended the cock
fight with Scoheld are preparing to
take action to secure release from pen
alties imposed under similar COM
plants. They will surrender to the
sheriff and sue for release by applying
for a writ of habeas corpus, as was
done by Scofield.

For chief of police, Detective Paul
Flammer.
According to politicians both in and
out of the city hall this detective, who
has been connected with the force for
a number of years, will be appointed to
the position of chief of police by Mayor
McAleer and his two members of the
police commission to succeed Chief
Hammel.
Despite the fact that this detective
has not kept on good terms with his
chief and, it is declared, carries much
over the head not only of the captain
of detectives but the chief of police di-
rect to the mayor, I believe McAleer
will appoint him. said a councilman
yesterday. "If the council had to con-
firm the appointment it would be differ
ent though, for 1 do not believe Flam-
mer the man for the position.
1--WE have had the best police admin
istration in the history of the city
under Hammel, and 1 do not believe

his place can be filled. Yet the people
demand, and it is their right, that the
best man available be named for the
position. q. ss..e
why Hammel resigned is an open
secret though he never says anything
about it. When he accepted the office
he said that if any one tried to insert
politics into the department or juggle
the men around in order to protect GER
tain individuals, he would resign. He
has resigned. Whether Flammer, if he
was appointed, would take orders from
the mayor and shift at the command
remains to be seen."
Chief Hammel's resignation and his
probable successor was the chief topic
of discussion at the city hall yesterday
afternoon "Flammer is a good fell
low," said one politician, but 1 have
my doubts as to his ability to run the
department. He has always done his
work well, and understand is a good
officer, though l hear that he is con-

THOUGHT CALlFORNIANS
MADE PIES OF CACTUS

They were tourists, a family party
a father, mother, two girls more or less
young and little boy. Where they
had come from was a problem. 1t was
evident they were not from New Eng
land, for they had never seen the
ocean before. They held an animated
discussion as to the identity of the
gulls foraging along the beach. They
were not from the south or the middle
west, for they were surprised at the
large size of the crows" when they
saw two buzzards conducting obse-
quies over a dead dog.
Shortly after the car left Playa del
Rey one of the young women rushed
to the window.
"Oh, mamma" she cried, "see the
cactus growing Wild"
YES" said mamma complacently,

Angeles from New York City some
time within the next two weeks.
Mr.. Huntington has been absent from
the city for the past five weeks. but
during that period his agents have
transacted a vast amount of business
of interest to the public, inasmuch as
they forecast large enterprises in Los
Angeles and San Pedro
Few men are more reticent about
their plans that is Mr.. Huntington,
but his arrival is anxiously awaited
because of a hope that he will make
public some of the plans he has in
mind.
The public school building which for
merly stood on Sixth street, near Los
Angeles street, has been cleared away
and destruction of four cottages which
were included in Mr. Huntington's re-
land east of the Pacific Electric build
ing has been commenced.
With his homecoming it is expected
that building operations will be COM
menced on this ground, which will mean
the erection of a large freight station
In accordance with this plan it is said
that Mr.. Huntington will ask the coun-
ell for franchise which will make il
possible for him to run all of the in
terurbans cars of the southeast lines
from Seventh street up Los Angeles
street. Passenger coaches will be run
from Los Angeles street into the base
ment of the Pacific Electric building
and from there by an incline into the
passenger station, to be sent out
Through the Main street entrance.
The large extension of the Pacific
Electric lines to the southeast is al
ready causing congestion at the termi-
nal station and with the completion OF
the Santa Ana and other spurs now oil
soon to be under construction the pres
ent accommodations will prove entire
ly insufficient. according to statements
of railway officials.

Announces His Anxiety to Risk Life

TIME LIMIT TO BE Sc HOUR:

IF General Passenger Agent Byrne
Of the Santa Fe will agree to my terms
and attempt to make the distance be-
tween Los Angeles and Chicago In
forty-two hours 1 will sign a contract
with him tomorrow and put up my
money for a special train to leave here
October g."
This is the statement made yesterday
by the speed mad "Scotty" concerning
his desire to go from Los Angeles to
New York city in ffty-six hours or
less.
"A railroad official in Chicago has
guaranteed to furnish me a train be-
tween Chicago and New York which
will maintain an average speed of
eighty miles an hour, so that It is UP
to the Santa Fe,', he continued, but
If Byrne wants to do business with me
want to have the say about the train
as far as La Junta. Up to that place I
am going to tell them how to run a
railroad train. Didn't have enough en-
gines the last time. Want eight more
engines from here to La Junta. This
would include the helpers and make a
total of twenty-three. Load down the
cars with sand and lead and 1 guess
we will burn the rails or go in the
ditch.
Ready to Contract
II am willing to make the contract
and push over my wad tomorrow, be-
causeI want to give the country plenty
Of time to get everything in shape, sao
"Scotty'' is undoubtedly, in earnest in
the desire to break his record making
trip of month ago, but it is extremely
improbable that the Santa Fe will have
anything to do with it. The distance
from Los Angeles to Chicago is 2265
miles. To cover this mileage in the time
which the Croesus of the desert de-
mands, speed of almost f1fty-four
miles an hour would have to be main
tanned.
Mr.. Byrne says that any time Scott
puts up the necessary amount the Santa
Fe stands ready to accommodate him
in running races with lightning, but
Scott's latest proposition will take the
astute passenger agents breath away
when it is put up to him this afternoon.
When the Santa Fe sent through the
Scott special a month ago the road took
great chances. officials realized, in
one sense, the foolhardiness of it. A
wreck, with injury to the participants,
would have brought condemnation.
Mr.. Byrne believed he knew the rail-
road business better than some of those
who found Nfault. He took his chance,
won out and gained over 100000 worth
of free advertising for. his road.
That was in July, when travel was
comparatively dull. In October the
homeseekers' excursion rates will be in
effect, with a traffic which is expected
to be the heaviest in years. Whether
the Santa Fe cares to sidetrack every
thing for Scotts special is the ques-
tion.
Scott expects to leave; Los Angeles
this evening for Barstow, from. which
place he will go to Death valley. thence
to his mine. Mrs. Scott will not accom-
Fpany her husband, but will remain in
Los Angeles until his return October 2.
"Scotty'' spent riotous day yester-
day with a few boon companions at the
Hollenbeck.

INDUCED Too Much

The Annapolis correspondence TO the
Baltimore Sun this morning contain
ed the following:
From an unofficial, though pretty
good source, it has been learned that
the authorities at the Naval Academy
are investigating the case of a drink
ing midshipman. It is said that the
midshipman is a member of next
years graduating class, and has sew
real times been one of the "Santee''
squad sent to the prison ship for
otfenses in violation of regulations.
The drinking, it is alleged, occurred
on Saturday night last, the intoxicants
coming from a saloon in town. He
staggered and fell to the pavement just
inside of the Naval Academy gate.
1t is also said that marine eDdeavor-
ed TO persuade him to go through a
back way to quarters before being de-
tected by the officials, but this the
sailor lad refused to do. The midship-
man reported at his room in quarters,
but not before the officer in charge
got wise as to what was going on. !"
Upon inquiry at the Naval Academy
today relative to the matter, the Off
cial authorities positively refused to
discuss the subject.

Medical Society

The Anne Arundel County Medical
Society composed of physicians in
the city and county met today at
Hotel Maryland. The attendance from
the county was poor, owing to the
inclement weather and bad condition
of the roads. DR.. Harry b. CAN'T, of
Millersville, was among those present
from the county, and DIR. Frank H..
Thompson and DR.. Louis b. Henkel,
Jr., of the city. Several important
subjects of interest to the medical fra
ternity we're discussed.
The association elected the follow
ing new members: DR.. Joseph l..
Brayshaw, of the county, and DR.. S.
S. Hepburn, of Annapolis. The fol
lowing new officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, DR.. H.

Jr., treasurer, Dr. +. fl. Thompson.
The doctors discussed the work of
the Medical Association of the coun-
ty and decided to hold the next regu-
lar meeting on June 10. A committee,
composed of the following physicians
was appointed to arrange a suitable
program for the next meeting: DR..

tion adjourned to meet June 10.

ANNAPOLIS. Md TUESDAY. MARCH 81. 1905
IT WAS A CHARMNGLECTURE
UNDER AUSPICES OF ALI
ANCE FRANCAISE.
Held Last Night In The Old Arm
ory IAt Naval Academy
By The Annapolis
Branch.

Another of the delightful lectures
given this winter under the auspices
of the Alliance Frahcaise, Annapolis
branch, was held last night in the old
armory at the Naval Academy.
A large audience was present, in
cluding the midshipmen. students of
st. Johns College and number of
French scholars from the town. The
lecture was given by Monsieur Rene
MiIlet, a distinguished man of letters.
His subject-a most interesting one,
was "The Mediterranean the Cru
sades and the Maritime Powers of the
World
The very word Mediterranean" is
calculated to arouse sentiments of
pride and patriotism, for on its blue
waters our young navy gained its first
victories on a foreign sea just Gen.
tury sage. Bainbridge, Decatur,
what all Europe failed to accomplish
when they subdued the Mohammedan
pirates Iof Algiers and Tripoli, gain
ing for the American navy prestige
it has never lost.
Prof. Fl. Mel. p. Huse, in very happy
words, introduced the lecturer to the
audience. The voice of M. Milet was
very pleasing as, in graceful con-
versational manner, he greeted his
hearers and began by description Of
the physical features. of the great in
land ocean, which was the theatre for
the development of the art of naviga-
tion, and the maritime exploits of the
earlier peoples who were the inhabi-
tants of its borders, whose conflicts
gave birth to the spint of liberty. He
traced Phoenician, Grecian, Carthage
nian and Roman navigation and
He suggested that but
for the fall of Carthage her intrepid
mariners might have been the dis
coverers of America many centuries
earlier.
Venice, especially in connection
with the crusades, he dwelt upon at
large, and drew vivid picture of the
career of Spain and her long struggle
with her Mohammedan invaders with
all its results. Ending in a special
word in English to the midshipmen M.
Millet complimented their profession,
which he considered the foremost in
the world, and told them of the desire
of the French people to draw closer
the bonds of friendship, hoping that
should it ever become necessity in
their kindred interest. particularly the
preservation of the sopen door, in
China, that the two nations may fight
side by side.
Referring to his countrymen, Rooh-
De Grasse and Lafayette the
eminent lecturer closed his very in
teresting and instructive discourse.

SIGN BOARDS ARE NEEDED.
AT THE VARIOUS RAILROAD
CROSSINGS
Narrow Escape of Woman And
Her Child On Saturday
Night AT The
TtsAction.

But for a special providence which
watches over fools, drunken men and
children, q woman with a baby in
her arms would have been killed on
Saturday night last at Annapolis
Junction. She had crossed the track
70 take the train for Baltimore, when
she should have remained on this
side.
Both trains are due there about the
same tir.e. She found herself on the
wrong side and with the engine of
the Washington train bound for Balti
more in sight, sarcely one hundred
feet way, she attempted to cross the
track while the train from the oppo-
site direction stood at the Junction
unloading its passengers for AnnapO-
lis, and taking on those for Washing
ton. Women who saw her do this
fooIhardy trick screamed and covered
their eyes lest they see her and her
babe ground to pieces beneath the
engine.
Men persuaded her not to cross, but
she insisted and said she must get to
Baltimore on that train. With danger
staring her in the face two men seized
the frenZied woman and her babe,
pulled her out of the track and saved
her life and that of her child. Every
body that witnessed the scene was
unnerved. The woman came from
Annapolis, got sotf the train at the
junction and. not being familiar with
the road. crossed the track to take
che train for Baltimore.
Sign boards should be placed at this
point to indicate to people to remain
on this side if they want to go to
Baltimore, but To cross if Washing
ION is their destination Or someone
whose duty it is to inform travellers
should be stationed both at Annapolis
Junction and at Odenton. They are
dangerous points and many persons
have been killed at each place, be-
sidessthe world is full of ignorant and
ioolhardy people, who will risk their
life to accomplish a purpose.
