TWO MORE WERE FINED.
WILMER'S CANDIDATES PAID
FOR THEIR FUN.
William Smith And Frank Jones Trial In
Progress When Harold Sinp.
son Was 'pinched.

William Smith and Frank Jones,
two candidate students at Professor
Winners Preparatory School, who
were involved in the disturbance be-
tween the two local schools on We'd
nesday night and after being arrested,
released on collateral, were given a
hearing before Justice Charles c..
Feldmeyer yesterday afternoon. They
were adjudged guilty of disorderly
conduct, the same charge against the
seven students of Professor Werntz' 5
school, tried yesterday morning and
paid fines and costs amounting TO
Sc. 10 each.
During the trial Of these two young
gentlemen, the candidates OF the
two schools succeeded in getting con-
siderable fun out of impromptu pa
rades through the streets near the
Office of Justice Feldmeyer. Much
fun was poked at the police, who
took the matter i'm fair good part,
while the capering students broke
ranks and scattered whenever Chief
Hahn sent ont officers from the court
room as the noise became too bolster
Gus. In one of these raids Candidate
Harold Simpson was inclined to be
slightly decrepid and slow moving,
when told by Patrolman Jacobs TO
move on. As a result he was prompt
" gathered in, while the trial of his
two classmates was still in progress.
When Zones and White had been
disposed OF Simpson was formally
presented and his case gone into.
Justice Feldmeyer, however, told him
that the court had no desire TO rub
ii i'm on him while others were
engaged in the same pavement block
aiding capers, and released him with a
good lecture and warning. The Squire
also announced that Simpsons case
was the last he would try yesterday
afternoon and Chief Hahn stated that
any additional candidates arrested
would be denied collateral. This
meant that any other arrests would
keep the prisoner in the lookup all
the afternoon and over night, and such
a thought had an excellent effect as
city beds are known TO be hard.
Although there was some additional
passing of "defies'' between the rival
student bodies, the i'll feeling seems
to be dying out and no further serious
trouble is expected. The candidates
at Professor Werntz' school have an
nounced that as many others were as
great offenders rs those arrested and
that the latter were in a measure
sufferers for the sins of others. The
fines will be remitted to the convicted
fellows by popular subscription among
the student body.

FATE
Written For The Evening Capital By The
West Annapolis Bard.

Sternly the Artisan stands at the loom
Weaving the fabric of life,
Whether the tissue be glamour or
gloom
Harmony, turmoil or strife.
Ceasolessly moving, the shuttle Of
Fate
Picks up the life threads as they lie,
And 'deftly maneuvering carly and
late,
Improving the moments that fly.
A thread. in the warp, may be honor
or fame,
And give TO the life a bright mark
4 thread, in the wool, may be failure
or shame
And make the whole fabric look
dark.
some lives are woven like soft, filmy
lace.
As though made Of gossamer strands
Whilst others are woven, in many a
case,
OF east steel or wrought iron bands.
If Fate deal unkindiy, no matter the
cost,
Fight hard, though it end in your
fall;
For better it is to have struggled and
lost,
Than not to have struggled at all.
