AS TO REGISTRATION.
Mr.. sDeBruhl Thinks Law Requires
Revision Of Books Only Before
G:noral Elections.

The condition Of the registration

lp for discussion in official circles.
The governor has receivct! 4 Letter
from Nj. T. NJ. CanHan, supervisor

IN an opinion It is held By Assistant
Attorney General DeBruhl thai the
law\refers only to general elections.
the provision in question is Section
1S7 Of the Code Of 1902, which
reads as, follows: ''The board Of req
istraIion >Shall revise ihc list Of re-"
iS5ered elec:ors al least ten days pre-
cedin@ each election and shall erase
therefrom the names Of all registered
electors who have become disqualified
or who, upon satisfactory evidence,
may appear to have died or removed
from their respective counties or who
may have been Illegally or fraudu-
lently registered. L."
Several days ago the governor re-
ceived letter from the supervisor of
Williamsburg county. together with a
letter from one Of the supervisors Of
registration for that county in regard
10 the supervisors action in refusing
to order an election in that county.
It will be recalled that the board Of
registration stated that they had gone
over the books and ascertained that
the number Of names on the petition
for election we're more than one
fourth Of the total number Of quail
fed electors, but the supervisor re-
fused to order an election on this
showing. requiring that the board Of
registration certify to him the total
number yof electors. Tie situation:
was brought to the attention of the
governor, who wrote to Supervisor
Sineletary in regard to the matter.
The letters, setting forth e position
Of the county supervisor and the
board of registration. were forward
ed to the governor and by him refer
red to all attorney general. MI. De-
Bruhl has decided that if the board
Of registration will furnish the county
supervisor a certificate that the eight
hundred and sixty-six names on the
petition asking for an election are
one-fourth of the qualified electors
Of the county the election should be
ordered. although the exact number
Of qualified electors is not certified
to. He holds that if the supervisors
of registration have aseertained the
number Of electors with sufficient ac-
curacy to know that S66 are one
fourth of the total number this is
all that is necessary, since complete
revision of the rolls may decrease
but could not increase the total num-
Der of qualified electors: It would
appear from this that the people of
Williamsburg are entitled to an elec-
tion on the dispensary if the other
requirements Of the law have been
complied with.

Elephant Causes Circus Panic.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June 22-Topsy. a
huge elephant, one of the herd of the men,
agerie of Ringing Bros./ circus which
showed here Thursday, threw nearly one
thousand persons into a panic by breaking
from the fastenings and charging into the
menagerie tent. The elephant had been Ill
tempered for several days and was chained
outside the menagerie tent a short distance
from the ether twenty-eight elephants in
the herd. Suddenly it gave vent to shrill
trumpetings, and the other beasts an
swered the cries from the menagerie tent
the big elephant broke from its fastenings
and dashed madly for the tent. Tearing
through the canvas walls, it dashed into the
open space by the cages. sending the spec
tators fleeing in panic Animal trainers and
other attaches at once surrounded the beast
and quickly subdued it, while others kept
the remainder of the herd quiet. Topsy
was then led outside and securely shackled.
Several received bruises in the mad rush

republican candidate, provided that candi-
date shall be a man whose political and
personal record is above reproach and who
can inspire the confidence of the men who
hold the balance of power In Maryland.
There will be held in the near future in this
city a conference of all the political leaders
in the republican party.
1t will be purely an informal gathering
for the purpose of discussing the coalitions
within the party throughout the state and
for an exchange of views regarding the
strength of those who have been mentioned
in connection with the governorship. 1t is
hoped that this conference will result in an
understanding between factions which have
in the past engaged in bitter strife and that
harmony all along the line will be the key
note when the conference is concluded.

Weed Burning in the West.

The weeds are prevented from thriving
on the tracks of the Union Pacific railroad
by the use of gasoline burning car which
passes along the line at the rate of twenty
five miles per day. A hot blast is projected
along the ground between the tracks and on
each side, and the results accomplished are
said to be very satisfactory. The scheme is
economical and effective.
