BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WESTPOINT. n. Y, Sept. 27.--A
state Of open rebellion exists today in
the United States Military Academy,
the home Of discipline.
II is admitted that the authorities
in charge of the government military
academy are facing the most serious
situation ever encountered at West

lutte unit in the existing rebellion. No
man seems more guilty than another,
and to eXpel one for insubordination
means that all must go.
The delicacy of the situation is such
that Major General Thomas II. Barry,
superintendent Of the academy. re-
turned from Washington today to take
personal charge.

WHY ISN'T 4 HEN A BIRDl
IT'S UP TO NEW COURT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The new
United States Court Of Customs APP
peals is in the full swing of its first
session. The much-disputed question
"Is a hen a bird?" which the Treasury
officials passed up as hopeless will
probably come before the court az
this term. The question is: if bird S
eggs are free under the tariff. and
hens eggs are taxed FIVE cents a doz-
en-, why isn't a hen a bird?
An importer who paid the higher
rate OF duty wants to know. Another
importer has canned eggs which he
wants assessed as canned albumen,o on
which the duty is lower.
There are Chinese merchants Will
poultry meats packed In oils which
they want the court to pronounce fresl
poultry. and many other customs cas-
es which have baffled the Board o
General Appraisers at New York.

All last night was devoted to con-
ferences between the leaders, but to-
day, just before the calling of the
convention together, the same claims
were being made as one week ago
The Old Guard was hoping against

to shake the Roosevelt control. The
suggested deal between Woodruff
Barnes and their friends, whereby
they tender Congressman William s.
Bennett the nomination for governor il

to the deal. The congressman. how
ever, was known to be sounding his

FIRE EATS UP BUSINESS
BLOCK In CHESTERTOWN

All of these buildings were COM
pletely destroyed.
Thirteen negro families on Cross
street lost all they could not carry
away. These houses were owned
chiefly by J. 5. Bradley. Jacob Il.
Thompson and Davis and Satterield.
The loss here will not be unusually
heavy.
The insurance feature of the FIRE
@alls forth the greatest apprehension
"a. to the future. as It is said to be
less than half the total loss. The
clothiers, especially, had just laid in
new stocks. and these were. of course,
ruined.
Families Made Homeless.
The houses of colored families were
back of the business places and were
consumed in a hurry. the occupants
of the dwellings barely having time
to save their effects. These families.
as well as the white families, eyicted
by the confagration. were cared for
during the night by friends.
With smoke curling up from the
embers this morning in the devastated
section, Chestertown certainly had a
desolated appearance. A hole had
been eaten into the business section,
and black ruins marked where stores
and dwellings had stood only day
before. an important part in the mer-
camille life Of this metropolis Of the
Eastern Shore.

The fire had its start in the black
smith shop of Davis and Satterfeld
on Cross street. It was about seven
o'clock i'm the evening when smoke
was seen issuing from the frame shop
The town has but one fire company
and its members dashed TO the blaze
but it soon got beyond their control
The blaze spread to the Adams Ex-
press building adjoining, and TO the
Matthews residence. and then IL was

town was i'm for another fire similar
to that of many years ago.
Practically he entire town turned
out to attack the flames The con.
tents of stores in the danger zone
were removed and hauled away. and
furnishings were hastily taken from
dwellings and piled in the street o.
were removed blocks away for safety
These precautions were barely TAX

In RUBIN CASE

Benjamin Rubin. of Philadelphia, is
free man. In the Court of General
Sessions on Thursday last Rubin was
placed on trial on the charge Of the
larceny Of $125 from George Frederick
in Brandywine Springs Park. After
the State put in its testimony James
Salisbury asked the court to give
binding instructions to the jury TO
return a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Boyce today handed down a
decision on the motion. He said the
testimony in the case was circumstan-
tial but Of such a character that it
did not connect the defendant with the
crime. Therefore the jury should give
a verdict of not guilty. The jury did
so and Rubin was discharged.
