OPPOSED TO PICTURES
Thinks Tendency Is To Give Boys
Wrong Idea OF A Hero

Cardinal Gibbons is heartily i'm
accord with the movement inaugural
ed in Baltimore and throughout Mary
land to prevent the exhibition of the
prize-tight pictures. Said he:
If the pictures of this contest
were permitted in Baltimore | am
sure hundreds of children would see
them. and what would be the result ?
Their morals would not only be con-
taminated but they would have the
wrong ideal of a true hero.
After seeing the pictures a boy
would naturally infer that the real
American hero was man bespattered
with blood and with swollen eve
given To him by another i'm fistic
encounter. The boy would go and
try to do likewise. This would be
sad state of affairs. 1t is the child
rem who will be most seriously affect
ed by these pictures if they are al
lowed to be exhibited here, and for
one will be pleased to hear they have
been absolutely forbidden in Balti-
more.
Any picture that might be shown
of this encounter would have a bad
effect on the men and women of the
community also. A rowd of men
would go into one of these picture
places and when they saw the colored
man beat the white man their blood
would naturally rise. They would be
so enraged that they would want to
make an attack on the black people
whom they might meet.
"It would not be we'll to stir up
any race feeling in our city at pres
ent, or indeed at any time. The fight
and the consequences are things of
the past and let them remain so.
The black people would not profit from
seeing these pictures, and am sure
the whites would not.

MRS. IL. d. GORMAN'S WILL
The Daughter Who Married Against Her
Wishes Is Cut OF With An Income

The will of Mrs. Hannah ID. Cor
man, widow of the late Senator Arthur
L. German, of Maryland. who died
recently in Washington. was filed i'm
the Probate Court of Washington on
Tuesday afternoon.
Ada German Magness. daughter.
who married Charles Magness. a mu-
siclan in the navy, against the wishes
of her mother, is cut off with the in
come from her share of the estate.
The five other children will each re-
ceive a share in full after ten years
have elapsed. In addition the trustee
of Mrs. Magness's share is closed
with discretionary power to pay what
he thinks proper to her for her main
tenance and support If. however,
any children survive her they are to
receive her share in the estate.
Mrs. German also made provision in
her will for Mrs Kate Marriott, her
daughter by "A previous marriage.
The viii does not indicate the value
of the estate, but il is estimated 10
be between one and two million
collars. Mrs. German bequeathed to
her son, Arthur T. German. Jr.,
portrait of my late husband, Arthur
Pue German, and the china painting
of the Democratic rooster"
Mrs. Magness became acquainted
with her husband more than year
ago while doing church work. Ii de
veloped shortly after the marriage
that Magness was a deserter from
the navy and he was apprehended
while on his honeymoon. After trial
he was sentenced to serve a year in
the naval prison at Portsmouth. N.
IL. He served nine months of the
sentence, the remaining three months
being commuted on account of good
behavior. Since then he and his wife
have lived in Louisville, XIV.

SETTLING THE ESTATE

A Million

John F. Waggaman Surrenders A Quarter
OF A EMiIIiOn To Dead Brothers
Creditors

Instead of q hopeless financial tan.
gle the estate of the late Thomas F..
Waggaman, treasurer of the Catholi C
University, who was adjudged bank
rupt in September, 1904, and who
died not long afterward, will pay 25
cents on the dollar.
This has been made possible by
the action of the Catholic University
authorities, who have agreed to
accept $3.50. 900 in full settlement
of their claim against the estate
of almost 81, 100000. The Wagga-
man failure was one of the biggest
and most sensational that Washing
ton has ever known. Hundreds of
Catholic families in that city lost
every dollar they had. Large oper-
ations in real estate on insufficient
capital caused the crash.
At first it was thought that it
would be impossible ever to straighten
out the trouble. but after six years
the value of the real estate holdings
of the estate having increased in
the meantime, compromise has
been reached by which the uniyer-
sity relinquishes the greater part of
the claim, and John F. Waggaman.
the bankrupt's brother, surrenders
a quarter of a million to creditors.
The Catholic University and John
F. Waggaman has claims against the
estate aggregating nearly 81, 500, 900.
Had they been able to legally sus-
tain their claims the general credi-
tors would not have received any,
thing at all. Shortly after the crash
the Waggaman famous art collection
was removed to New York and sold
for 100000. Had the sale not been
forced in bad season, it is declared
by experts, the amount would have
been three times as much.
Counsel for the Catholic University
gave out statement yesterday fol-
lowing the announcement that the
institution had agreed to accept $780,
10000 in satisfaction of its claim, ex-
planning that lin taking this position
the Catholic University believes that
it is surrendering legal rights and
claims in amount much greater than
the sum received, but for the purpose
of terminating litigation and also be-
cause of sympathy for the general
crditors it is willing to adjust on the
lines indicated"

SUBMARINE CABLE LAID.
A Great Work Al Love POint--.
Eastern Shore End
NEW PROCESS DISCOVERED
An Unusual Engineering Feat Just Com
pleted By Which Telephone c0nyer.
satiOns Between Baltimore Aud
Eastern Shore Will Be In.

1t has long been the hope of the
| telephone engineer TO successfully
construct cable which would salts
factorIly carry telephone messages
for great distance. While "pen"
wires that is, those pairs of exposed
wires strung on poles transmit the
messages satisfactorily, they become
bulky when used in large numbers and
are easily placed out of service dur
ing sleet storms. Until ten years ago,
or SO, cables were used only i'm cit
les and large towns and even there
their use resulted in electrical diff
culties which greatly lessened the
advantages of enclosing the wires
in cables. With the best known ap-
paratus and highest engineering
skill, it was possible to transmit
conversations successfully through
not more than twenty miles of
cable. This fact confined underground
service within the borders of cities
and to short distance out-of town
runs. Long distance conversa-
tons were carried around these cit
les rather than through their un-
foreground cables, In order to avoid
the weakened transmission which
would have resulted.
However, about ten years ago
there was invented a process by
which it was made possible to use
telephone cables over long distances.
This invention was revolutionary in
its effect on telephone work, and
the Bell Telephone Company, through
this invention, has been able to
extend underground cables from New
York to Philadelphia, from Phila-
delphia to Wilmington, and between
other large cities. The Bell Tele-
phone Company, with its we'll
known aggressiveness and wisdom,
saw the Importance of this inven-
tion and used every effort in its
power to develop it into a CONNER
cial practice. and, having done so,

to give the benefit of it to its sub
scribers. AS a result of this, storm
proof service over long distances has
been extended into areas where, fif-
teen. years ago, such service would
have been out of the question.
Prior to this year, 1910 this method
was never used on submarine cable.
Such cables, for telephone work,
could be used only for short distances
and then at great detriment to the
service. Attempts have been made
abroad to use this method of improv-
ing telephone cables-a small cable
of this sort has just been laid across
the English Channel. The cables
abroad, however, are little more than
experiments
The first submarine cable, using this
method of operation, that has ever
been installed in this country, and
the first practical one in the world, has
been installed across the Chesapeake
Bay to serve Bell Telephone SUBJ
scribers in Delaware and on the east
ern shore of Maryland and Virginia
in their service with Baltimore city
and Maryland. This cable was de-
veloped by a corps of expert engi-
neers in Chicago, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore corps Of
fifteen or twenty high-grade men who
spent two or three months working
on its development. The result is
that, across Chesapeake Bay there is
now the best submarine cable in the
world-a cable which makes telephone
conversation from Baltimore to Cape
Charles or other peninsular point,
equivalent to a conversation over a
land line fifty miles shorter than by
way of the former route.
The difficulty of laying this cable
was excessive. At several points,
special apparatus, weighing 1,4OO
pounds, was fastened to the cable.
These appliances, being very deli
cate, had to be lowered with great
care. The difficulty of handling ap-
paratus weighing 1,400 pounds and
dropping it to the bottom of the bay
without injuring it, with q thunder
storm looming up in the distances as
il happened in this case need not be
described in order to be appreciated
by the readers of this paper.
With this cable, telephone facilities
to Baltimore and Maryland will lie

1t is nuisance and Annapolis suffers
by being the tri-weekly dumping
