DEATH OF MRS. G|RAULT
Former Trustee OF City Public
School Expires Suddenly
A USEFUL LIFE ENDED
Impartial And Faithful Woman Trustee
And Secretary To School Board For
Years

Although in feeble health for some
/ time, the death of Mrs. Elizabeth
Giranlt. wife of Mr.. Joseph B. Gi.
raul. 1876 Duke of Gloucester street,
came as q great shock to her many
friends this morning.
Mrs. Girault was found dead in bed.
She passed peacefully away during
the early morning hours without any
one of the family being aware OF her
demise. At the usual hour this
morning her husband. who occupied
the same room, called her. but she
did not respond, and thinking she was
enjoying sound sleep, went down
stairs, telling the family their mother
was sleeping so peacefully that he
would not disturb her slumbers
She did not come downstairs at
the usual hour, and an investigation
was made by the family, which
revealed the fact she was dead, and
was sleeping that long and peaceful
sleep which knows no waking. She
had passed peacefully away during
the night or early morning hours.
Mrs. Girault was woman of strong
character, not easily swayed by the
opinion of others. For many years
until long after her health failed,
she was a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Annapolis public
schools, and was one of the first wo-
men trustees to serve. Her individ-
uality on the board evidenced her
strong mindedness and she served i'm
partially as well as faithfully and
conscientiously.
For years she was secretary to the
trustees of the school, and filled the
position with credit to the schools,
the board and herself. About two or
three years ago she sustained a fall
in Stewart & Co.'S store, Baltimore,
which injured her to such an extent
that she never fully recovered. 1t
was thought the fall was caused by
stroke of apoplexy, as subsequent de-
velopment showed some degree of
paralysis.
Mrs. Girault was a woman who
never paraded her illness, but when
asked of her health, would always
cheerfully say she felt well, or was
DONG nicely, and she bore hef afillc-
tion with Spartan courage and forti-
tude. She was active, as active as
the affliction would permit, to the last.
She was a faithful and devoted mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church, at
tending service there when she had to
be steadied in her feebleness, to take
seat in the church.
Besides her husband she is sur
vived by the following children: Mrs.
Annie, wife of Charles Munroe; Mrs.
Edith. wife of Spignal +. Wiley, of
Florida; Misses Nellie and Margaret
Girault, and Mr.. Alexander Girault,
Expert Chemist at Sparrow's Point,
Baltimore; Mr. George Girault, ento-
mologist at leading college in the
South, and Mr.. John Girault, of North
Dakota. A brother in Chicago also
survives.

THREE CORNERED MATCH
National Guardsmen From Maryland And
District OF Columbia To Meet MILDLY
Opponents Tomorrow

An interesting three-cornered rifle
match in which the MILDLY rifle team
will have as opponents the teams
from the Maryland and the District
of Columbia National Guards, will
be held on the Academy rifle range
across the Severn tomorrow.
The Maryland Guard and the mid
dies have met four times this sea
son, and the score in matches now
being 3 to ! in favor of the sailor
lads. while the District Guardsmen
and the young future admirals have
tried their mettle against each other
twice, once at Washington and once
at the Naval Academy range.
Each team has one match to its
credit. so that it is expected that the
middies will devote partiular atten-
tion to taking the rubber from the
Washingtonians tomorrow.

ARGUING ELECTION CASES
Contest Over Municipal Registration Law
Is OF Vital importance To AnnapO-

City Counsellor K. p Melvin, of
Annapolis, is in Baltimore today to
participate in the arguments over
the Annapolis registration laws which
are being heard before Judge Morris,
in the United States District Court
there.
The cases are the outgrowth of
the municipal registration law pass
ed for Annapolis at the session of
1908, whereby. through the grand
father clause and property qualifi-
cation most of the negro voters of
Annapolis were eliminated from par
ticipation in the selection of the
City Council.
Several negroes under instructions
from the party managers of the Re.
publicans in Annapolis, applied for
registration. which it was known
ahead of time would be refused them.
When refused registration the negroes
instituted suit in the Federal Courts
to recover damages, and to this suit
the registration officials through coun-
sci demurred. The argument is on
these demurrers and on the court 8
ruling there, hinge the validity of
the law.

These figures are based upon a

more than is upon the books of the
county by about $25. 900. 1t cost
1886 month or 50, ,032 for lights and
two policemen at Eastport and Ger
mantown, therefore to raise this
amount upon the above basis il makes
an enormous increase of "a cents,
which equals $4,070.
Under this Act the whole of the
Fifth district is assessed for the same
privileges at Brooklyn, and l cannot
understand why the whole of the Sec
ond district was not assessed for same
privileges at PASSPORT and German
town. Why this discrimination?
Is this fair? or where is there any
justice in such drastic measure?
Let every taxpayer of Eastport and
Germantown come before the Board
of County Commissioners next Tues
day. June 2S, and lodge their protest.
For my part, like great many prop
erty holders at Eastport, We do not
propose to submit to such an unrea-
sonable and unlawful measure.

OVERCOME BY THE HEAT
First H0ms Victim Reported This
Season

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Clauser,
Kelly. son of Mr.. Pert J. Kelley,
leading coal and wood dealer at East
port, was overcome by the heat.
The young man narrowly escaped
death few days ago by being thrown
by his horse into the machinery of
saw mill, but for his presence of
mind and wonderful exhibition. of
nerve at the time of the accident, he
escaped serious injury.
1t is thought by his friends that he
had not fully recovered from the
shock of the accident and owing to
his weakened condition, the intensely
hot weather yesterday caused him to
succumb to the heat. He is reported
to be doing nicely today.
