President of the Board of Pub
lie Works Says That Is Why
Light. Heat and Power Man
Is in the City.
SAYS COMPETITOR MAY
SELL ITS PROPERTY,
This However Will Be in Event
The Purchase of Municipal
Plant Is Not Made-Pole
Question Still Up.

President George Staubach OF the
board of public works is OF the opinion
that the presence here of E. f, Wither-
by, general manager of the corporation
which controls the Light. Heat \ Pow
Cr company. means that the company
intends to make one final effort to pur-
chase the municipal lighting plant and,
If this effort is unsuccessful. the COM
pany will dispose of the Light. Heat Il
Power company plant.
MIR. StaubaCh also believes that the
action of the company in making its
final effort to absorb the municipal
plant has been FASTENED by the action
of the city council in passing the Main
street pole ordinance He stated this
morning that Mr.. Witherby had in
formed him that il would cost his com
pany in the neighbOrhood of S9O.OeO TO
place its Main street wires under
ground. Mr.. Staubach states that the
Light. Heat y Power company will
never do this unless it secures control
OF the municipal plant, and he is con.
fident that the city Will never dispose
of its plant.
He appears to be confident that the
municipal plant will not be sold out to
its competitor and that the courts
would sustain. if appealed TO. the va
lidity of the Main street pole ordinance
and the action of the city in refusing
| to comply with its terms on the ground
| that a municipality can not legislate
against itself
IF by the first OF September. the
| time given by the ordinance for the re-
| mOVaI of poles. the Main street poles
of the Light. Heat x Power company
are still standing, what action will the
| city take" Mr.. Staubach was asked.
The city will order all poles belong
ing TO that company located on Main
street from Second street to Twenty
! first street, chopped down" he replied.
The TeTre Haute, indianapolis &
! Eastern Traction company is still keep
ing the board in the dark as to the
course it will pursue in regards to com.
plying with the terms of the Main
street pole ordinance. This ordinance
| seriously affects that company for in
complying with its terms. 1t would he
forced either 10 suspend its trolley
wires from buildings or substitute its
wood poles for iron ones.

Washington, April Ca conference
of eighteen influential members of the
house was held, through the efforts of
Representative Watson, whip of the
house, to pave the way for currency
legislation. The meeting resulted in a
substantial agreement to the effect
that the first, second and third sec
tions OF the Vreeland bill should be
eliminated and the bill should then be
passed.
The elimination Of these sections is
an interesting procedure. for the rea-
son that they comprise the only yes
tige of the Aldrich bill embraced in the
Vreeland bill It was feared the Vree-
land bill would stand no show of pass
ing if it retained any part of the AL

TO PREACH ON LOCAL OPTION.
Pastors throughout Maryland Will
Discuss 1t January 10Th.

Discuss 1t January 10Th.
The Anti Saloon League of Mary
land is planning for a CONCERTED
Discussion on Jan. both. The
Ministerial Union Of Baltimore
issued a call to all the pastors of
the State to join on that date in
discussing the local option issue,
the Anti Saloon League as an
agency of the federated churches in
securing a state wide local option
law, and the necessity of informing
the members of the Legislature of
the desire for such legislation.
It is conceded that local option
will be one Of the most important
questions before the Legislature
and will probably develop the
hardest fight of the session.
A desperate attempt is being
made to unite all enemies of local
option in favor of high license.
Toe League is not opposing high
license, but refuses absolutely to
accept it as substitute for local
option, and expects this concerted
movement to crystalline the senti
ment here as it has done in other
States. Enough responses from
pastors all over the State have been
received to assure the success OF
the plan.
Superintendent Anderson of the
League announces the receipt from
Cardinal Gibbons of a statement in
which he heartily approves the
present movement in Maryland to
secure a local option law by which
the people of wards of cities, or OF
rural counties may vote upon the
question of closing saloofs, and
further states that where the
people do not vote out saloons he
favors high license, but not as a
substitute for, nor in opposition to
such local option.
The League has rented Room LOG,
at Carvel Hall, Annapolis, as
Legislative Headquarters and has
a competent stenographer and as.
sistant constantly on hand. The
superintendent and other workers
will be there during the most OF
the session.

ance men. The League leaders ex-
pect some of the politicians friend
ly to the liquor interests to try to
Iget committees appointed which
will smother the bill in committee.

Game Marden Wants All Cats
DESTROYED.

In his annual report to the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, Secretary
Joseph Kalbfus of the State Game
Commission recommends that Gov.
ernor Stuart in his next message to
the Legislature ask that body for
legislation by which the State of
Pennsylvania shall pay bounty on
the scalps of the ordinary house cat.
House cats, says Secretary Kalb-
fus in supporting his suggestion,
are the greatest destroyers of bird
life in the world and he would like
to see the cats annihiiated, for until
this is done the birds are not safe.
