PUBLIC VANDALISM
Dissertation OF Headstones A Part OF
Vandal Nefarious Work

There seems to be a desire on
the part of some human being or
beings 10 wilfully mutilate and de-
stroy the property belonging to
others. This is evidenced by the
chipping of marble or granite COM
[ posing staues or cornerstones, even
the desecration by mutilation of
/ the headstones of the departed.
The American tourist generally has
practiced this indefensible habit of
/ collecting souvenirs to such a great
extent that many of the worlds
1 greatest and most notable relics now
bear evidence of the American inva-
sions, which are rightfully and justly
criticised by our hosts when abroad.
Z Whether this grows out of a habit
created when small child IN the
mischevious destruction of toys and
later in the burning of our neighbor's
gates or the signs erected upon prop
erty and even the destruction of
houses in giving a momentary pleas
ure as the flames leap upward, or
whether it is the peculiar and incom-
prehensible desire to collect souve-
Mrs at whatever the cost, cannot
say, but nevertheless. it can only be
characterized as an injurious and uR-
lawful depreciation upon the property
of others.
This article was suggested to me,
being a matter so small possibly as to
be insignificant in the onward trend
of this city's affairs; however, it
was large to the one on whom the
act was perpetrated, which is as fol-
lows:
Some time ago at no little expense,
one of the business men of the city
desiring to advertise his business,
had some signs painted and erected
in front of his place of operation.
In all business. even the profession
of the medico, so bound by etiquette
that the slightest variation is not
tolerated, they find it necessary to
hang out shingles to designate their
place of business.
This mans signs were hung out or
nailed out, and imagine his astonish
ment when he found one missing, COM
pletely gone, no trace of it has ever
been found. Nothing was done to
find this sign other than to report its
loss to the proper authorities, be-
saqffi he th6afrrhItn 81 IT thfn RtU GONG ia
thoughtlessness. However, imagine
his surprise when on his way to his
Office, he was greeted by an official
of the state government with the fol-
lowing comments: 1--WE have found
your sign and the janitor of the State
House will return it to you.
When asked where it had been
found, imagine the look which cross
ed this mans face when he was in
formed that it had been found in the
Jap of the statue erected to the men,
ory of Chief Justice Taney. Sur
prises being in order, on arriving at
his Office he found that it was not the
first sign, but another that had been
stolen during the previous night.
If something is not done to stop this
malicious practice, where will it end?
The time will soon come when, if
you have an advertisement on the
side of house many hundred feet
above the sidewalk, it will not be
without mutilation. | sincerely ask
that you give this the due considera-
tion of your estimable paper.
Yours very truly,
SUBSCRIBER.

Sustains The Old Board

In an opinion handed down in the
Superior Court in Baltimore today,
the contentious of Governor Crothers
and Attorney-General Straus to the
effect that the former has the right
to suspend the Board of Police Com
missoners is overruled.
This settled one side of the ques-
tion as had been generally thought il
would be settled. Under the ruling
of the court in today's opinion the
old board cannot be suspended pend
ing their trial before the Governor
nor can a new or temporary board bs
named to hold their Offices until theil
fitness for TO remain in that Office il
settled.

NOVEMBER FORECAST
The Eleventh Month Will Come In With
Menacing Conditions What Hicks
Predicts

November will come in with men
acing conditions, according to the
representations of Long-Range Fore
caster Irl r. Hicks. This time will
come near the centre of the Mercury
equinox, in the Venus period and at
new moon ct an eclipse node.
Such combination of circumstan-
ces, It would seem, must bring some
thing pretty bad. The temperature
will rise and the barometer. through
its usual contrariness, will go down
and heavy autumnal storms viii move
from West to East. Rain storms,
with thunder, will turn to sleet and
snow noIthward and high. cold gales
will follow. The last three days of
October and the first four days of
November are marked in Mr.. Hicks
calendar as the most likely earth
quake period of the year.
From November 6 to 10 we are to
have a regular storm period, central
on November s. Storms of rair,
snow and sleet are indicated for this
period. says Mr. Hicks, with sweep
ing cold gales to follow. only the
foolhardy." says the prophet, will
despise storm possibilities and indi-
cations and venture on the lakes at
this time" We should think sol
Readers of the Capital who have
followed the Hicks predictions know
by this time that when the moon
gives shout and climbs on the celes-
tial equator, and then gets full and
lands in perigee there is going 10 be
trouble for some one besides the moon.
This is what will happen November
18th to 10th.
At the very beginning of this per-
iod storms of thunder, wind and rain
will begin in the West and come this
way with the spread of a balloon
trying for a worlds record. About
Wednesday, November 18th, the
storm will be at its height here and
there are possibilities of a blizzard.
Tidal waves and earthquakes are also
on the meteorological menu for this
date. The moon will be eclipsed on
November 16, thus bringing Earth.
Sun and Moon in a direct line with
each other and causing an awful
strain.
Hardly will the weather clear until
storms will begin again. the period

newed storms of rain and snow will
fill the heart of the pedestrian with
gloom, but will delight the hearts of
the directors of the Annapolis Water
Company. As usual, at this time of
the year, it will clear off cold. And
right on the heels of this storm will
come the reactionary eliminating in
this section on November Goth.
Low barometer, high thermometer,
with possible lightning, thunder and
rain, are scheduled. Promptly after
this storm it will get cold again, so
it will be seen that We are likely to
have typical Thanksgiving weather.
The month will 60 out at the begin
ming of regular storm period, with
the moon in apogee. The rain and
snow. however, are not expected to
arrive at the Atlantic coast until
December 3rd.

ter of the increase Of appropriation

YESTERDAYS PRACTICE
Coaches Gave Varsity And Scrubs A
Stiff Scrimmsge However But No
Scoring Was Done By Either

In drizzling rain that made the
pigskin slippery and hard to hold,
the MILDLY football squad was given
a short spractice yesterday afternoon
during which no scoring was done
either by the varsity or the scrubs,
although there was stiff scrimmage.
The work of the afternoon saw
still other changes in the lineup of
the varsity. Dalton was not in the
backfield, his place being taken by
Cochran, while Clay covered the
other half and Rodes was in the mid
die of the backfield. Sowell was
again at quarter and showed improve
ment. The impression is growing
that the coaches have made a wise
selection and will turn out a good
pivotal man before they finish with
Sowell.
Several changes were noted in the
line, too, yesterday. Gilchrist was
put back at end in place of Dickins,
Douglas went in in Captain Kings
place at left tackle while Davis the
pIebe again had Loftin's job at the
other tackle and Wright was shifted
over to left guard and Wakeman put
on the other side of Weems at center
Every effort is now being put for
ward by the coaches to round their
team into shape for the Lehigh game
on Saturday as the visitors from
Bethlehem are the only ones who
meet both Army and Navy this year.
The middies will try to do better even
than West Point did against the
Maroon and White when the Lehigh
cohorts were dowDed on the Hudson
to the tune of 2S to O.

RECALL PETITION
Especial Dispofch TO The CALI


RICHMOND, July 1S.--Amid consid-
erable excitement six members of the
city council, against whom a recall
petition was filed, voted tonight to deny
the petition on the ground that it was
insufficient and that the charges con-
tained in the document We're not speci-
fic. This vote was taken after three of
the six councilmen had as a special
committee reported upon the petition
as not in compliance with the law

by Councilmen Wyatt, Hartnett and
Owens. They, with Mayor Willis,
Councilmen Dooling and McDuff, were
the. officials against whom the recall
was directed. They stood pat and held
their own throughout the heated ses-
sion of the council, which was attended
by throng of citizens. The minority
members, Councilmen Follett, Garrard
and Ludewig, voted against accepting
the committees report.
The first move will be in the superior
court, and if necessary the fight will

to order an array of attorneys ap-
peared as representatives of the con-
tending forces. City Attorney Lee d.
Windrom stood by the six in an opin-
ion which voiced the committees re-
port. He declared that the petition did
not come wethin the charter provision.
The point made by opponents of the
recall was that the charge of malfeas-
ance in the petition was too general.
Attorneys j. J. Duane and Henry
Owens of San Francisco, a brother of
Councilman Owens, took the same po-
sition. Owens said that he had no
fight to make against the charter pro-
