JOYS OF BONNIE SCOTLAND.
Third Lecture Of Elmendorf Lenten
2~r- Series Of 1907.

Evidence of the popularity and growing
quality of Mr.. Dwight Lathrop Elmendorrs
lecture-travels in foreign lands was further
amplifled yesterday afternoon by the large
attendance which greeted him in the pres
entation Of the third lecture in his Lenten
series Of 1907 at the National Theater. The
subject was Bonnie Scotland" and so
cleverly were the motion pictures, views and
descriptions interviewer that one could very
easily fancy they were actually making a
delightful personally conducted tour of the
land Of Burns with Elmendorf for a COM
panion.
The journey began with a trip up the
Clyde, where the launching of the famous
battleship Dreadnought, with King Ed
ward as the central figure Of personal note
congratulating the builder, was shown in
motion views and aroused much interest
Very little time was spent in the cities Of
Scotland, Mr.. Elmendorf preferring the
country, which offers the best field for
studying the characteristic life Of people,
Racial conditions are, therefore, admirably
depicted on the screen by this lover of ma
ture. which are superbly augmented by his
easy conversational style and descriptive
ability.
The home Of Burns and places made IA
nous by Scott were visited, besides many
points Of historic interest, particularly
those associated with Bruce, Mary Queen
Of Scots and the invaders. St. Andrew
links were also visited. and the audience

Coal for Police Court.

Judge Ivory G. Kimball Of the Police
Court notified the Commissioners today that
coal has been consumed in the new court
building to such an extent that the courts
contingent fund has been reduced to $S6,
and that amount will be expended by the
next order for coal. He wants to know if
there is any possibility of securing the de-
ficiency appropriation of $3.50 asked by
the Commissioners for the court, before the
regular deficiency bill is passed in Con-
gress.
According to the accounts of the Police
Court twenty-five tons of coal were used
during January, and as there are about
fifteen tons on hand in the court now,
Property Clerk Hargrove. to whom the
knotty problem was referred for solution,
believes the court should pull through un-
til the 4th of March without the occupants
being frozen to death or suffering any in
convenience. The Commissioners will no.
tify Judge Kimball to- that effect

BUSINESS BEFORE BOARD.
School Authorities to Consider I'm
portant Matters Tomorrow.


Several important matters are expected
to crop up at the regular meeting Of the
board of education tomorrow afternoon at
3 o'clock at the Franklin school. There is
a rumor that Superintendent Chancellor has
been preparing report Of his educational
work in the schools since his administra-
ton began, and that he will submit 1t at
the meeting. AT the last session OF the
board reference was made to the fact that
the rule Of the board requiring monthly re-
ports of officials had bean ignored, and DR..
Chancellor declared that he had not had
time to draw up a report, but would do so
very soon.
Since Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has not
yet returned from her lecture tour, no date
has been fixed for the continuance of the
Cardozo trial. 1t Is understood the board
desires to complete this case before taking
up certain other matters involving the
methods of school administration.
Rumor has 1t that the board is likely in
the near future-when other disturbing mat
tiers are out of the way-to institute an in
vestigation for the purpose Of establishing
the authorship of the article which ap-
peared recently in the Educational Review
of New York and which so severely ar
raigned the District government, both as to
methods and personnel, and likewise cast
slurs on the citizenship of the District. A
number of the members of the board are
known to be incensed at the ideas ex-
pressed in the article and wish to learn
just how much DR.. Chancellor had to do
with the writing of it.

RATED AS BACKWARD STEP.
DR.. Woodward's View Of Courts Re
fusal to Issue Attachments.

The efforts of Dr. William C. Woodward,
health officer, to compel the local merchants
who handle perishable food products to
comply with the standard for cleanliness
has received a severe blow at the hands of
Judge Kin1ball Of the Police Court, and un-
less some remedy can be determined upon
1t is claimed the health officers eff orts
will be frustrated and his crusade for
clean city will fall fiat.
During the recent activities Of the in
spectors of the health department a number
of merchants were arrested upon charges
of violating the local sanitary regulations.
Warrants for their arrests were sworn out
aud served upon the offending merchants
and when the cases were called for trial in
the Police Court last week none Of the
merchants appeared to answer the charges
and the cases were dismissed by Judge
Kimball with the forfeiture of So collat-
eral as stated in The Star at the time
DR.. Woodward declines to criticise the
action Of the Police Court, but considers the
collateral exacted as leniency and the action
Of the court not calculated to secure the
best results He said: Il do not believe it
is i'll keeping with good administration to
allow the defendants in these cases to es-
cape trial by forfeiting trivial collateral.
Not only do the defendants escape with
little punishment, but escape altogether
the publicity which, in cases of this
kind, is more severe than the payment
of money and it serves a good purpose in
that 1t puts the public on its guard in deal
ing with the offenders.
DIR. Woodward made known his dissatis-
faction to Commissioner Macfarland and
the matter was referred to the corporation
counsel for the proper procedure. The cor
poration counsel requested Judge Kimball
to issue an attachment in the cases men
toned for the purpose of bringing the par
ties into court for trial. but word was re-
ceived by Commissioner Mcfarland this
morning that the court declined to exert
this authority.
Dr. Woodward is of the opinion that If
the Police Court continues this course. his
In markets. provision stores, ETC., will be
nullified. Commissioner mcfarland de-
clined to venture an opinion upon Judge
Kimbalrs action. but said that some action
will be taken by the Commissioners to prop
erly prosecute the offenders.

Dr. Jno. E. Davis, of this city, has
been elected to fill the chair of sur

Iege in Meridian, and will deliver
lectures there during the coming win
ter. This is a high tribute to DR..
Davis knowledge and skill, and &
an honor which, though we'll merited,
came entirely unsolicited. DR.. Davis
was not an applicant for the position,
having been elected by the trustees
simply because they knew him to be
spIendidly qualified for the position.
The friends of DR.. Davis in Colum-
bus will learn with pleasure that the

He will make special trips to Merid-
ian each week for the purpose of
delivering lectures and will continue
his practice here, also retaining his

PROWELL AND
CURRY NOMINEES
PRIMARY RESULTED IN NONINA-
TION OF CAPT. PBOWELL As
SHERIFF AND DR. CUR
RH As TREASURER.
The Sherin's Race Was Exceedingly
close, Capt Prowell Having
Defeated NIr. Erwin by
Only Fifteen Votes.

The second Democratic primary
was held last Thursday, and there
was a large vote polled. The weather
was ideal and there was a great deal
of interest manifested both in the
governors race and the race for sher-
if and treasurer, the two county or
fees for which incumbents were Sci
Iected.
In the sherins race Capt. w. ID
Prowell was the victor, having de
feated his opponent, Mr. b. d. Erwin.
by a small majority. Capt. ProweU
received Tic votes, while the total
vote polled by Mr.. Erwin was 701.
While no one can ever forecast the
outcome of a political contest with
any degree of accuracy, the result Of
the sheriff's race was, to say the
least, anomalous. In the first p-i-
mary Mr.. Erwin received 637 votes,
while all three of his opponents COM
bined could muster up but 929, of
which number Capt Prowell the
next highest man, had 434. In the
second contest, however, the strength
of the retiring candidates seems to
have gone to Capt. ProweI, and he
was declared the nominee. Capt.
Prowell is a member of one of the
most prominent families in the coun-
ty, and is man of sterling qualities.
He will make a splendid sheriff, and
The Dispatch joins his numerous
friends in extending congratulations
to him upon his election.
While the race for county treas
urer was spirited and hard fought,
it was not so close as the sheriH's
race, DR.. r. S. Curry having received
754 votes, while his opponent, Capt.
w. f. Pope, got only CAS-. Both the
candidates are excellent gentlemen,
and many people regretted that they
could not vote for both. DR.. Curry,
the nominee, has always been a patIi-
otic and enterprising citizen, and
richly deserves the honor which has
been conferred upon him by his CON
stituents. ---

Executive Committee met Friday for
