TAFTS INJUNC-
 TON VIEWS
His Headquarters Gives Statement
 Which He Doesn't Confirm.

Chicago, July 13.-A statement giv- en out by the industrial headquarters established by Mr. Taft's campaign managers here and printed today re- ferring to Mr. Taft's personal anti injunction views, says:
 "The injunction as it has been used in labor cases, generally is repugnant to our American sense of fairness. Judge Taft stands on record with the union as opposer to it in it's present form, position that many others who had advised against the injunction have not dared to take, and this strongly emphasizes the difference be- tween talking about matter and be- ing ready to do it.
 'He (Judge Taft) has stated re- peatedly that no injunction should be granted until both parties to the case have been heard. If this suggestion ever becomes law, the labor injunc- tion will be put out of business, for the right to leave the service under
 certain conditions has been estab- lished firmly. The dissolution of each labor injunction issued against a strike in wage controversy directly between the employer and the em- ploye proved it.

SPEAKS FOR PROHIBITION
Mr.. Hale. of Tennessee, Addresses
Rechabites of Washington.

Representative Nathan Wesley Hale, OF
Tennessee, addressed the John B. Hen
derson Tent. No. 1859. Independent Order
of Rechabites. at the American Home
Life Insurance Building, Fifth and G
streets northwest, last night
In favor of prohibition. Mr.. Hale said:
"The nation should protect its citizens
from the danger of becoming drunkards
as much as it should protect its citizens
from a foreign Zoe. The right Of protec-
ton of the citizens of the United States
applies to the protection from the tenpta-
tions of liquor as much as it does to in
ternational Law.
1T will not be long judging from the
excellent work accomplished in the direc-
ton of prohibition without making much
noise about 1t, that the whole nation will
be rid of the evils of liquor and we will
not have a single saloon in the United
States.
we spend more on our prisoners IN
jails in feeding and providing for them
than we earn from the revenues from the
licensing Of saloons. Judging from the
deficit. the nation goes into debt to
license saloons"
Last nights meeting was in honor of
the celebration OF the fourth anniversary
Of the organization OF the Henderson
Tent, No. 1859. A large attendance was
present.

Question over Construction Between

Be Discussed at Hearing.

Special to The Washington Herald
Upper Marlboro. April t6.-Chief En-
gineer ". ". Crosby. of the highway di-
vision, Maryland Geological Survey, is
asking for bids for continuing work on
State road No. 1. OF. as it Is famiIiarly
K lown. the Washington-B Baltimore boule-
ward.
The sections to be improved this year
are from terminus OF macadam. just out
side of the northern limits Of Hyattsville
to south terminus OF work completed last
year from BeItsville southwark. omitting
a haIf-mne stretch at the Paint branch
bridge. above the Maryland experimen;
station. on account of some questions
connected with the bridge itself; the sec
ton from Contee to Laurel. begun in
1906: the section from Savage railroad
crossing to Guilford-Annapolis junction
road and the section from Waterloo to
Dorsey. and from Dorsey to Elkridge.
The highway commission has net yet
decided on the plans between Hyattsville
and Washington because Of questions that
have arisen concerning the selection OF q
route. It has been suggested that lOCa-
ton for this section. other than over the
present Washington and Baltimore turn
pike. through Bladensburg, should be sc.
lected in order to avoid the dangerous
railroad crossing at Maryland avenue
4yattsville. The Baltimore and Ohio. the
Chesapeake Beach and the City and Sub.
urban (electricI railways cross at grade
at this point
It is understood the commission does
not feel that SUFFICIENT expressions OF
opinion in the matter have been made tc
enable them to decide, to the best inter
ests of all concerned. the best route Il
is reported that the commission would
like 10 continue TIRE boulevard to Wash.
lngton from Johnson avenue HyattsvilIe
70 which point the macadam has been
placed. parsIleling the City and Suburban
Railway TO the District line al Mount
Rainier.
II is probable the commission will grant
a hearing to citizens Of Hyattsville and
Bladensburg relative TO extending the
boulevard over the present turnpike. The
work which is contemplated by the ad-
vertisement now running is for grading
and macadamizing about six and one-hslt
miles of the boulevard on the sections
above enumerated.

EVADE GIVING OF TESTIMONY
School Closed Because Teachers Got
Out of Way, Says Court.
Judge Merrick Scores DeIinquents
Who Refuse to Tell of Illegal
Liquor Selling.
- Q The wa.hlngton Hs-ala.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Upper Marlboro. Nd, April Ie.-Judge
George c. Merrick, of the Circuit Court
for Prince George County. created a mild
sensation here yesterday when he strong
ly intimated that the teachers Of one Of
the schools in Marlboro had absented
themselves from the county because they
had reason to believe they would be
called before the grand jury to tell what
they knew concerning alleged violations
OF the Sunday liquor law at the county
seat, and that while they we're away the
school had TO be closed.
The grand jury had adjourned. Judge
Merriek was commenting on that feature
OF the report which referred TO the diff
Guilty of securing evidence upon which
to base indictments for illegal traffic in
intoxicants.
II is a disgraceful condition of af-
fairs declared Judge Merrick. when
men will migrate from the county like a
flock Of birds when they receive an inti-
nation that they viii likely be called
20 testify before the grand jury relative
to these liquor cases, and as soon as the
grand jury adjourns come back 10 their
roosts"
The real sensation was caused when the
judge said:
1T is reported to the court that some
schools in Marlboro had 10 close their
doors TO enable the teachers TO get out
of the way Of the grand jury"
The court was particularly severe when
he declared some witnesses in these
liquor cases had deliberately periured
themselves, while il was impossible TO
secure the attendance Of other witnesses
supposed 10 be IN possession Of facts that
would enable the grand jury to present
indictments.
THE day of reckoning and accounting
is fast approaching, declared the court.
when these men who defiantly and
flagrantly violate the law viii receive
their just retribution from the thoroughly
aroused and law-abiding element Of
Prince George County"
Judge Merrick was referring to the
prospective victory OF the local option

PENN ATHLETES SORE.
Claim Faculty Cannot Bar Them
from Franklin Field.

Philadelphia, April 16.-Has the Penn
sylyania Faculty Athletic Committee a
legal right to bar athletes from the use of
Franklin Field because of unpaid board
bills? is the question that is now agitat-
ing the faculty and students alike. This
new phase of the situation was brought
out by the faculty committees action
on Tuesday. saying Dan Luby was acting
in violation of orders when he threw the
hammer which hit "Scotty' Renwick.
Every student at Pennsylvania is forced
to pay, in addition to his tuition, $40 a
year for the use of the Houston Club, the
gymnasium, and Franklin Field Now the
athletes concede the facultys right to bar
them from participation In the games. but
they claim they cannot be barred from the
use of Franklin Field when they have
paid money expressly for that use Luby
WIS not eligible for the track team, as he
is repeating his year in the medical school,
so he was not even practicing for a var
sity contest but merely taking exercise
Yet the faculty committee censured him
for doing so.
Many of the disbarred athletes met yes
terday in the dressing-room, and decided
to protest against the committees action.
and 20 use all means within their power
to have restored what they claim are their
rights. Three of the more indignant ones
even went so far IS to consult counsel as
to whether they could force the committee
to permit them to use Franklin Field.

Special to The Washington Herald
Salisbury, Md. April 16.-The Repub-
licans of the First Congressional district.

minutes, elected two delegates to the na-

willingness 20 serve. his election was re-
garded as certain But there were two
other candidates-Thomas Bartlett. of Tai
bot. and DR.. Joseph S. France. Of Cecil
one Of the three had 10 give way. Argu-
ing that the four counties below the Chop
Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico,
and Worcester-should be satisfied with
the Member of Congress and the elector.
the friends of Mr Bartlett conceived the
plan TO unite the counties above the Chop
tank on Mr.. Bartlett and Dr.. France.
Then the friends of GoldsboroUgh got
busy 10 break up the combination, which
would have given the upper counties
eighteen votes and the lower counties
seventeen votes. The GOldsbOrough pe0-
pie formed a counter-combination with
Cecil. and when the vote was taken Bart
lett had only three counties. The vote
was as follows:
For GoIdsborough-Do Dorchester. Wicom-
leo Worcester, Somerset, Kent, Cecil,
and Queen Anne-2S.
