You Must

If you cannot, it is due to an

The Glory of Japan.

The magnanimous conduct of
the japanese government in with
drawing the demand for indemnity
and in dividing the Island of SAX
halln, thus making peace absolute
and sure, will win the highest
praise and commendation from all
the civilized world. No such
generous act has ever marked the
pages of history. Victorious on
land and sea, having the enemy
wholly IN it's power, Japan could
have prosecuted the war to still
greater trlumphs, yet in sacrificing
financial reward, it has brought
upon its head reward more lasting
and has proved that it leads all
nations IN kindly deeds. We may
talk as we please about the inpor-
tance of sending our people to
that far away land to teach Chris
tianlty to the inferior tribe, but
the men who fight and die and who
find glory in death, have done
that which might not have been
done by the people who fight un-
der our flag, And while the world
is thanking God that countless
mul!itudes have been saved from
slaughter, it will not forget the
part that Theodore Roosevelt took
in the negotiations, and it will
praise him, because that is his due.

again, yellow fever ends with
frost while typhoid fever has all
seasons for its own. There is
little difference after all, and that

An INJUNCTION TO Be FILED
MR.. FEANK DUVALL WILL
MAKE CONTEST.
Viii Seek to Restrain The County
Commissioners From Rat
flying Hayman
Contract.

Attorney Robert Moss has been re.
tained by Mr.. Frank DavaIl in the
injunction proceedings which will be
started today against the County Com.
mlssioners 20 prevent them from pro-
ceeding with the contract with Mr.. A.
T. Hayman for doing the work with
the road machine in the Third dis
trict.
Mr.. Duvall states that he is firmly
decided to make the strongest kind Of
"A fight to prevent the commissioners
ratIfying the agreement TO have Mr..
Hayman do the work. The first step
in his. direction was taken when the
injunction papers were drawn up. In
these papers is alleged that Mr.
Duvall. in good faith, and with every
intention of doing the work if he Sc.
cured the contract, put in bid to
work the road machine in the Third
district for 81. 90 per day.
1t is further alleged that in spite of
this fact the contract for the work
was given to Mr.. Hayman at $40 per
day. This, it is claimed, is not In
accordance with the provisions of the
law, which was framed for the pur.
pose of securing work at the lowest
possible price, provided it was proper
ly done. ~ MIR. Duvall claims that the
only reason given him for not secur-
ing the Contract was that the road
board did not think him properly
to do the work.
1t is also claimed that when the
board awarded the contract there was
only one member present, whereas
the law requires the presence of three
members. The claim is said to have
been made by those Interested on the
other side that the board has the right |
to reject any aud all bids and that it |
Ouvall. Other persons, however,
lain that the law made that provi- |
zion solely for the purpose OF creati ng |
and to prevent combina-
ions being formed which would cost |
he county more for the work than /
bidding would.
Mr.. Hayman states that he made no
pecial effort 60 secure the work and
hat he was somewhat surprised when
he contract was given him. He said
hat he knew what Mr.. Davall'ss bid
vas and thought that he would secure
he work. He took exceptions to the
tatement that Mr.. Duvall paid 126
lines more taxes than he did, but did |
ot volunteer the information that he
aid any taxes. Mr.. Duvall states
he he's grS1nd s f fiaf el kelqlg qlgg hotaa otaax
hat Hayman is not, but because OF
he fact that he il the lowest bidder
md should have been given the con-
ract until it was shown that he could
lot do the work.

Fra Diavolo Tonight

Z Ezra Diavolo, +" the famous romantic
comic opera, was welt produced al
the Colonial last night and was thor
oughly enjoyed by an appreciative au-
dienee. Strong applause greeted al
most every number sung 1t is rare
comic opera combining as it does
plenty of good tuneful musical num-
bers, pleasing comedy and an excep-
tionally strong plot. The leading roles
were all we'll sung, especially those of
Zerlina by Miss Gonzales; Fra Dia-
volo, the bandit, by Mr.. French; Lor-
EMO, the brigadier, by Mr.. Pache
and Lord Allcash, by Mr.. Cox.
The ensemble work was excellent.
Miss Leonora Watson, a new member
of the company, appeared as Roberta,
and displayed a highly cultivated
voice. The sextette in the second act
was rare bit of singing and would
do justice to most of the larger and
higher priced attractions that have
visited our city. The production was
well staged in every particular, es-
pecially the mountain scene at sun
rise in the last act. in which the
lightning effects far exceed the aver
age production. Friday, Saturday

The exercises in celebration of the
silver jubilee of Very Rev. William
q. Luecking, superior provincial of
the Redemptorist Order in Maryland,
took place yesterday at st. Alphonsus'
Catholic Church. Baltimore. The ex-

demptorists and seven years later took
the vows at St. Mary's Church, this

hood in April. 1880, by Cardinal Glib
bons, and since that time has been in

Death of Mr.. Haislett

Samuel J. Haislett. a prominent
merchant of Washington. ID. O., died
Tuesday morning at 10. 40 a. m. at his
residence in that city. He was the
eldest son of the late Mrs. Mary A.
-Haislett, of Cornhill street, who died
a short while ago at the advanced age
of 90 years. Mr.. Haislett had been
i'll for some time, and although he
was here to attend his mothers funer-
al in April, 1908. he was, however, at
that time, very sick man. Several
years ago he suffered paralytic
stroke, from which he at no time fully
recovered, and which finally resulted
in his death.
He was Mason of high standing
and was also identified with the Odd
Fellows and Grand Army, and will be
buried in the Arlington National Gem
etery near Washington. He was we'll
known in this city, and when we'll
often visited here. He was brother
to Mrs. Daniel r. Thompson, of Corn
hill street, and also Mrs. Martha Cole
aud Mrs. Kate Barnes, of Eastport.
Mrs. Cole was with her brother when
he died.

1t Was a Success

Surprising even the most sanguine
expectations was the reception at the
Assembly Rooms last night to the
friends of the local lodge of Odd Eel
lows. 1t was estimated that fully
seven hundred persons were present
and they warmly congratulated the
members of the entertainment com
mittee on the able manner in which
they had arranged the affair. The
hall was prettily decorated ard .promi-
nent at one end were the three links
typical of the orders emblem in
white, blue and red.
The musical program was of a very
pleasing nature and the many dances
on the program were enjoyed to the
full. The opening. address .was made
by DIR. Thompson. Several other
speakers were scheduled to speak, but
owing to the hour and the crowded
state of the hall they were not heard
from. Refreshments were served and
it is reasonable to presume that the
affair was one of the best ever given
by the order in this city.

Fell Forty Feet

James Brown. plasterer employed
on the new memorial hall at the Naval
Academy, met with a serious and
painful accident this afternoon. He
was so seriously injured that it was
found necessary to take him to the
hospital on the grounds. Brown was
on top of scaffold, forty feet from
the ground when a misplaced plank
caused him to lose his balance and he
fell headlong. 1t is thought that he
struck a striDger piece which broke
his fall somewhat, but he struck the
ground in the midst of a large pile of
material. Friends hurried to his aid
and assisted in removing him to the
hospital just what his injuries con-
sist Of could not be learned.

SETTLES ALL OF ITS CLAIMS |
w. B. & A. RAILROAD OUT
OF RECEIVERSHIP.
Judge Morris Passes An Order In
The United States Circuit
Court-Discharges
Receiver.

In the United States Circuit Court
in Baltimore yesterday morning Judge
| Morris Kpassed an order dischargins
Mr.. George Weems Williams as re
ceiver of the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railway Com.
pany.
The order was passed upon a peti.
tion filed by Mr.. Williams asking for
his discharge and by consent of the
Cleveland Construction Company, the
plaintiff in the suit against the Rail
way Company, which resulted in the
receivership. Mr.. Williams stated in
his petition that the plans of the re-
organization committee for completing
the road have matured. and that all
parties interested in the case. desired
the lifting of the receivership
Mr.. Williams also stated that all of
the claims against the Company have
been settled by the reorganization
committee. The largest of these
calims was that of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company.
This amounted TO $I27, 926. The Com
pany went into the hands of receivers
in July, 1905, and, in addition to Mr..
Williams, Messrs. James Christy and
William r. Lyons were appointed re-
eeivers. Subsequently they were dis
charged. and the affairs of the road
were left in the hands of Mr.. Will
Jams.
The discharge of Mr.. Williams as
receiver yesterday means that the
Cleveland syndicate, which now has
control OF the road, will push its
plans for the completion of the line.
and today meeting of the parties in
terested was held in Annapolis TO dis
euss plans. The plan is TO extend the
electric line which now runs from
Washington to Laurel, Nd, to Balti
mole, and to convert the Annapolis.
Washington and Baltimore Railroad,

is probable that the actual work will
be started within week or two.

stockholders in the Annapolis, Wash
ington q Baltimore Railroad was held
at the company's offices ON West street
today. The meeting was called shortly
after noon and was concluded in time
for the members to leave on the 3. 30

meeting, further than to increase the
capital stock of the company, could
not be learned. 1t is understood that
plans are being made which have to
do with the betterment of the road
pending any changes which may later
be made in its operation. The prin-
cipal stockholders who were present
are Messrs. John g. Masterton, James
