gamn and Charles F. Lee.
Enough time was given the visitors

constitutes one of the proudest boasts
of this town.

He ApoI0gized

The warrant officer who took the
Capital to task for living in a navy
town and not knowing anything about
the navy, has apologized, both in
writing and verbally, In justice to
the other warrant officers it must be
said none of them (save the writer)
knew anything of the affair. The
name is withheld for reason. The
offender says:
With sincerest apologies to the
Evening Capital, / acknowledge that
| am the person that was guilty of
the cowardly act of recently sending
an unsigned note of an offensive
ature to the Capital.
81 can assure the Capital tnat /
am the only one that has suffered
by the cowardly action, since com
mitting the same / have been heart
lily ashamed of it.
81 sincerely hope the Capital
will accept this humble apology as
it is most sincerely rendered, and
by so doing again emphasize the old
saying 'All's we'll that ends we'll. .

Thomas Issues Injunction

others restraining the County Com
missioners for Anne Arundel county
from collecting the special tax in the
sections of the Second district, en-
bracing Eastport. Brashearsville,

This is the case growing out of the
ievying of special privileges" tax
under the provisions of Chapter 33l of
the Acts of 1910. The case will be
appealed, it is understood. and the
Court of Appeals asked to finally set
tie the matter.
The Act provided for special taxa
tion in rural districts enjoying special
privileges, such as lighting of streets,
police, etc. Judge Thomas. in his
verbal explanation of his conception
of The intent of the law this afternoon
took the stand that all references to
districts in the law means "elec-
tion districts as a whole. ANY
other Interpretation of the law would
lead to almost endless difficulties,
said he.
While there seems still some ques-
tion as to the right TO law special
privileges taxation in any other than
the Fifth Election District, which was
specifically mentioned in the act,
Judge Thomas rules that the law does
not confer on the County Commission
ers the right to sub-divide an election
district into various divisions where
in the special tax may be levied.

Body Is Brought Here

When the government tug Stand
ish reached this city this morning
from Solomon's Island, where she was
in communication with the ships of
Captain Clark's practice squadron. he
brought the body of William Howard,
a colored man of Annapolis, who died
suddenly yesterday aboard the battle
ship Massachusetts.
Howard who was about fifty years
of age, was n cook in the steerage of
the flagship. His body, after being
brought to Annapolis aboard the
Standish and prepared for burial, was
turned over to his wife at her home
in Baer's Court, this afternoon for
burial
dem6rits for undignified conduct at
the dinner table.
The third recent disapproval was
in the case of Midshipman Harmon,
fourth class, of Virginia. Acting
Secretary Winthrop refused recently
to drop Harmon on charges that he
had made untruthful statements.
Both Army and Navy regulations
provide that any officer or enlisted
man found guilty of falsehood shall
be dismissed from the service.
Truthfulness, it may be said, is the
pride of every officer in the Navy,
an this decision already has proved
decidedly unpopular in the service.
