THE W., B. & A. ELECTRIC LINE
VIII Be In Operation BY JuIy I...IIigh Speed
Cars To BE Used.

Seventv-five minutes or better is the
time which the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railway Com
pany estimates il viii require to make
trip from its terminus in Baltimore
TO the Treasury Department in Wash
ington.
The Company will use high-speed
cars capable of making siNty-iive miles
an hour, but only on certain parts of
the line will they be able TO run at
the maxi imum rate. 1t is estimated
that the trip To Annapolis will require
something like forty minutes. The
route selected by the new Company
between Baltimore and the National
Capital is about forty miles long, and,
while this is little less than the Bal
tnore and Ohio and Pennsylvania lines
between the two places, it viii take
the trolley ears longer 10 make the
trip.
The part of the line in Baltimore
and Westport is about four miles long,
while there is considerable part
within the District of Columbia. The
cars will naturally have 10 run much
slower over these sections than on the
main line, and then there will be
more stops than are made by the
steam cars. It is believed, however,
that the running time can be reduced
after the road has been in operation
for a time President George T.
Bishop, of Cleveland, says he sees no
reason why the line should not be
running by the date originally set
July l of this year.

National Athletic ORGANIZATION

The advisability of the forming of a
national athletic organization of the
colleges and universities was discuss
ed at the annual meeting of the Inter
collegiate Athletic ASSOCIATE on of the
United States, which began in New
York Saturday. Another important
matter was thu proposition that the
football rules committee elected for
1907 be amalgamatsd with the repre-
sentatives of Yale, Princeton, Har-
ward, Pennsylvania, Cornell, the Ma
val Academy and Chicago University
during 1907 or tnat the football rules
committee of the Intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association of the United States
formulate rules under which football
shall be played so as to secure an
open game, the elimination of rough
playing, definite and precise rules OF
play and the organization and control
of officials, TO the end that the rules
made shall be strictly enforced.

is DECLARED OF UNSOUND MIND.
Jamds P. Bannou To Be Committed To Some
Insane Asylum.

4 Jury dc lunatico inquirendo met
here today in the matter of the mental
condition of James +. Bannon, the
county politician and member of the
bar of Baltimore city and Anne Arun-
del county, who is under two enarges
of embezzlement in Baltimore city,
and whose affairs are otherwise in bad
shape.
The jury reached verdict that Ban
non had been of unsound mind for the
two years past and was incapable of
managing his property interests. The
exact finding of the jury was: That
James Il. BanDon is Of unsound
mind, so that he is not capable OF the
government of himself or the man
agement Of his estate, and that he has
been in such state of mind for more
than two years, but that how he be-
came so, the jurors aforesaid, cannot
say. unless il is by the visitation of
God.
Drs. James J. Murphy, of Annapo-
lis, and Thomas b. Horton, of Cur
It's Bay, were the physicians who
testified in the case and both gave
their opinion that the subject of the
jury was of unsound mind Import
ant testimony was given by Mr.. ID.
French Hollidayoke, who has been
with Mr.. Bannon frequently of late.
He testified as TO the development of
certain oddities in his conduct for
some time past, stating that he had
to be made TO eat and in other ways
conducted himself strangely.
Mr.. Robert Moss, an attorney of
Annapolis, testified that Mr.. Bannon
had become entirely incapable of
transacting ordinary business affairs
and showed mo appreciation of the po-
sition in which he had found himself.
lie said that friends nad offered TO
make good his financial difficulties,
but that Mr.. Bannon could not be
made TO interest himself in the matter
or show any inclination to help him
self. other witnesses were Mr.. j.
Thomas Beasley, Chief of Police
q sorge II. Hahn, of this city, and Dep
uty sheriff Nicholas III. Bryan.
Mr.. William III. Moss, an Annapo-
lis business man, was foreman of the
Jury, and Messrs. James III. McCar-
thy, of Baltimore, and Elihu :. Riley,
of - Annapolis, counsel for the petit
tioner. Joseph G. Bannon, brother OF
James B. Bannon.
It is understood that arrangements
will be made at once TO confine Mr..
Bannon in some institution for the
insane, the expense TO be borne bY
members of his family, and that q
committee will be appointed TO take
charge of his property. Il is claimed
that his property is nearly. if no
quite sufficient, to cover the amounts
he owes. There is no definite know D.
edge on this point. however.
