CONGRESS sMAN TALBOT, the leader of the Bal
timore county Democracy, has put himself on
record as favoring some legislation in which
many thousands of Marylanders are much in
terested Just now. In an interview in Baltimore
few days ago Mr.. Talbot said: There is
public demand for a corrupt practices act
Such law would give a poor man a fair
chance to run for Office. As it is now, the
rich man has the advantage. What the people
want is good government. We have been
giving them pretty fair government in the
State and county. If the people don't get good
government, they will rebel and vote the other
way. In the county we have tried to select
good candidates and they have been elected.
OF course, all this proposed legislation is in
tended to improve the government, if possible.
We are having pretty good government as it is;
but, as l said before, corrupt practices act
would give the poor man better chance"
THE BALTIMORE city grand jury, in its re-
port to the court, took hand in the discussion
of the high license question that is now going
on. 1t said: ut is our belief that higher
license law. equal to thatSobtaining in other
large cities, should prevail. This would I'M
doubtedly lessen the number of saloons and
be of great advantage to our city. Under
present conditions it is very difficult to obtain
evidence in the reported violations of the
Sunday liquor law, and in most cases prose
cution is productive only of the perjury of the
Witnesses summoned. We would earnestly
indorse the recommendations so often made by
previous grand juries, namely, the passage of
law requiring saloons to remove blinds and
all other devices which present a clear and
unobstructed view of the interior during pro-
hibited hours" Those people who favor local
option are violently opposed to the high license
idea and will do their best to defeat it. As a
matter of fact they are opposed to license of
any kind, high or low, taking the ground that
the business of selling liquor should not be
legalized.

NEARLY ONE hundred and seventy five per-
sons-mostly women and chiIdren-lost their
lives by the burning of Rhoades Opera House,
in Boyerstown, Pa, on Monday night last. A
moving picture show was being given for the
benefit of Lutheran Sunday school when
tank containing some liquid used in the show
exploded. This caused a panic and in the
rush that followed coal oil lamps that were
used for footlights were upset and exploded
and the oil set the building on fire. Most of
those who lost their lives were trampled to
death. Boyerstown, which is about 10 miles
from Reading, has a population of less than
5000. Nearly every house in the town is in
1a0urniug. ueYSra1 instances enLlre lam
ilies-father, mother and several children
were lost in this terrible catastrophe.

 With Manager James.

Bridgeport, April 2S. - Red" Waller, who was the main prop of the pitching staff of the Orators last season, and who has started in to play ball in Allentown. Pa, this'sea- son, arrived in the city last night and was about the street looking up old acquaintances. He iold his friends that he was willing to pitch for Manager O'Rourke this season providing he got his price. Later in the evening Manager O'Rourke and Waller had heart to heart talk in the shadows of the Meigs build ing. Neither would make any state ment after the conference, but MT O'Rourke is more hopeful now than ever that Waller will pitch for the Orators this season.

THE PUGILISTS
THE BLACK ONE
 WANTS A MATCH
Johnson is Now in England on the Heels of Tommy Burns
 Other Fight News.

London, April 2S.-Jack Johnson the colored heavyweight pugilist, ac- companied by his manager, Sam Fitzpatrick, arrived here from New York last evening. They immedi- i ately visited the National Sporting club and the sporting newspapers and issued a challenge to Tommy Burns. the heavyweight champion, to fight anywhere for any purse ac- ceptable to Burns. Johnson went further than this and offers to bet Burns $2,500 that he will stop him in twenty rounds. In addition he will concede to Burns two-thirds of any purse that is put up for the con- test.
 These terms cannot be published in England. as the law of the coun- try prohibits anything but boxing contests, limited to twenty rounds. Burns has been holding out in the negotiations for the Johnson con- test for sum, win, lose or draw, larger than any syndicate has yet ap- peared willing to offer.
 Johnson seems anxious to meet Burns, but there has been so much cross-firing that it seems doubtful that the two men will come together in England. There is a possibility however, that a club. which has just been organized in Paris, may raise sufficient money to induce Burns to go into the ring with the colored heavyweight. '.s+ ...+
 Burns also visited the National Sporting club last evening, but did not meet Johnson. Burns forestalled the latter by depositing s5,000 with a sporting newspaper for meeting with the negro.
 Burns insists that he must have s30,000 as his share of the purse. but Johnson can arrange the side bet to suit himself. I0l the opinion of Burns. as expressed last night, a fight between him and Johnson is now bound to occur, but whether in England or in America depends on the purse.
