court held them liable notwiths,and
ing the company did not know its
cars were out of repair and had no IN

Another question was passed up
on by the United States District Court
of Colorado, when It held that the
Colorado and Northwestern Railroad
Company, a narrow gauge railroad,

RADIO, and said to be using locomo'
tlves and cars equipped with the old
link and pin cuuplers was liable TO
the government for a violation Of the

II was not necessary TO order to bring

arrangement for a continuance trans

The United States District Court for
Northern Alabama went over step
further II held that the United
States was entitled TO apenalty from
the Southern Railway Company for
an alleged violation Of the Safety Ap.
plane law IN case where shipment
/ originating ana ending within the
state Of Alabama, was carried In a
car not properly equipped. The court
held that this was a violation of the
/ law because The car was nsed some
times for interstate commerce, and
, therefore was an instrumentality Of
Interstate commerce.

MIKADO'S CORDIAL THANKS.
Replies To President Taft's Toast AT
The Dinner To Admiral Togo.

President Taft has received mes
sage from the Emperor of Japan re-
plying to the toast of the President
at the dinner given by him to Ad-
miral Togo and thanking him for the
cordial reception accorded the Ad-
miral by the American Government.
Here is the message:
"The splendid welcome accorded by
you to Admiral Togo and the friendly
sentiments expressed by you on that
occasion have touched me deeply, and
pray you to accept this assurance
of my most cordial thanks and appre-
citation.
In his speech following the toast
President Taft extended an invitation
to Japan to participate in the move
ment for universal peace through ar
bitration. 1t was understood at the
time that the request of the Japanese
Ambassador for copy of the Ameri-
can proposal on general arbitration
was the basis for this invitation.
This was asked for some time ago,
but the State Department had not
heard further from the Japanese Gov
eminent concerning it. 1t was gen.
orally expected that the Emperor in
his message would in some way refer
to the arbitration proposal, and the alb
sence of any specific mention of the
President invitation is regarded as
significant.

NEED LARGER QUARTERS.
Increased Business OF Enterprising
Firm OF Gould & Lee Demands
New Offices.

The well-known firm of Gould &
Lee, with offices in the Arundel Build
ing, will move about August 81 to
their new offices at 20 and % Church
Circle, in the Annapolis Banking and
Trust Company's Building.
This enterprising firm of young men
started in business only three years
ago, but so industrious and enterpris-
ing have they been that they have
found it necessary TO move the second
time in that period in order TO have
large enough quarters TO accommodate
their business.
At the present time Gould & Lee
are finding trouble in securing enough
furnished houses to accommodate their
clients, and are advertising for such
places.
In the matter of advertising, this
firm would be hard to beat, as they
spend as much money along this line
probably as any other concern in this
county. The very latest stunt this en-
terprising firm has accomplished is to
place large sign on each of the four
steps of the "Me-Too" car. They
certainly have attracted considerable
attention.
The new offices, when completed,
will contain among many other nice
features, an immense plate glass win
dow, and will, without doubt, be one
of the very incest offices in the city.
We wish Gould & Lee continued pros.
perity.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
A Visit or A Former AnnapOIitan-A
Leader Among CoIored Race.

George Stewart, of Washington. d.
c., is now on visit to his friend,
George Thomas, of Eastport. The
visitor is the son of the late Judson
Stewart, the old and well-known coll
ored barber, Of the City Hotel. in the
days when il was the one hosiery of
Annapolis. George was a boy in his
fathers shaving saloon, which the
leading men of Annapolis patron
lied.
1t has been fifty years since this
former Annapolitan has visited Anna
polls, and one of his delights has
been to call upon his former white
friends here, VINO have received him
with genuine cordiality. George saws
that the thing that has given him his
chief pleasure in his present visit to
Annapolis is to find that the old white
residents and the old colored people
still retain their sincere friendships
for each other. This he said with a
beaming countenance that told that he
felt all that he said.
Our old c0lord friend is represen-
tative of the large class of colored
people who lived here just before the
Civil War. Their names cannot be
mentioned without a feeling of re-
spect and friendship arising in the
breast. Amongst these colored men
who occupied superior station and had
successful business, coupled with the
respect and friendship of their white
neighbors were Moses Lake, the bar
Der at the Naval Academy; Judson
Stewart, barber at the City Hotel ;
Richard Richardson, barber on Con-
duit street; William Bishop, livery
man; James Offutt, liveryman
James Shorter, carpenter, Moses
Spriggs, florist; John Adams, white
washer and general faetum; Rev.
Harry Price, confectioner and local
minister in the Methodist Church I:
Henry Lane, James Brown, Samuel
Maynard and others.
In those days these colored people
had the friendship and good will of
the whites, and they well deserved
them. Many excellent colored people
yet live in Annapolis and the example
of their former residents is we'll
worthy of their highest emulation.

LETTER TO BANK PRESIDENT.
School Board lndites Communication To
Head OF Farmers Bank On School
Finances.

At the recent meeting of the Board
of School Commissioners for Anne
Arundel county, the Board ordered
the following letter to be Sc mt by the
secretary:
Annapolis, Nd, Aug. 8, IL.
Mr.. J. Writ Randall. President of
the Farmers National Bank.
Dear Sir:-Referring to your com
munication addressed to the Board of
County School Commissioners of Anne
Arundel county and delivered by you
to this Office last Tuesday in which
your bank offers per cent. interest
on average daily balances of deposits
of the school funds, the interest to be
computed and added to the principal
semi annually, the Board having re-
ferred your communication to me for
reply, beg to say that the Annapolis
Banking and Trust Company is allow
Ling us per cent. interest computed
quarterly and added to the principal,
this arrangement dating from July the
first of the current year, prior to
which time we had been receiving 2
per cent. / wish to add further that
the bdlhliS HOuFs OF lHe Annapolis
Banking & Trust Company, which
keeps open until 4 o'clock each bust
ness day and on Saturdays until G
O'Clock, the day especially when many
of our teachers come to town, afford
better accommodations to our teachers
and to this Office than the hours of the
| Farmers National Bank.
1t is proper, also, to mention that
our present depository has been very
accommodating to us. For a number
of years our funds on deposit at times
have been unequal to our needs, anC
it has been necessary on such occas.
ions either to borrow money or over
draw our account, which latter We
have done many times, and the banl
has invariably accommodated us by
honoring our overdraft checks. Al
the present time even, one of oul
special funds is overdrawn. / car
see no valid reason, therefore, fol
accepting your proposition.
Very respectfully yours,
| SAMUEL GARNER,
County Superintendent

POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM.
Has Been In Operation Here Since
June IL And Has Exceeded Fondest
Expectations.

The Postal Savings System has been
in operation at the Annapolis post
office since June IL, and while no
figures can be obtained as to the exact
amounts of the deposits, Postmaster
Randall has indicated that the deposits
made in the month and half of the
existence of the system, far exceed
his fondest anticipation.
1t was not believed by those CONVEX
SAINT with its affairs that Annapolis
offered a good field for this system.
The city was supplied with three
banks offering inducements for saw
ings accounts, moreover the absence
of large foreign elements in the coun-
ty was believed to initiate against
the success of the system. Therefore,
when the savings accounts were open
ed there was a general feeling on the
part of the Postmaster, as we'll as of
the banking fraternity, that a year
might pass before the Government de-
pository would receive a thousand dol
lars in savings.
1t is understood that this sum has
already been reached and, that the pub
lie are realizing that while the Gov
eminent pays small rate of interest,
opportunity is given to its depositors
to purchase at par Government bonds,
form of security that neither the
Vaccinations of Wall street nor the
cunning devices of promoters can as
sail or injure.
Until invested in Government bonds,
the Postal Savings funds are deposited
in the Farmers National Bank, with
percentage in the Annapolis Bank
ing and Trust Company, and are con-
sequently returnd to local circulation,
these repositories giving bond to the
Government for their safety.
In order to give the public fuller in
formation the Government has had
circulars printed in German and Ital-
ian, as well as in English, which will
be given at the city postoffice to any
who may request them.

JUST HOLDING ITS OWN.
Water At The Reservoir At Normal
That's All.

Because of the recent heavy rains
it is the universal opinion of the gen.
eral public that the reservoir has an
abundant supply of water, but this is
far from correct.
The streams are running slowly and
the supply of water is just normal and
that is all. The reservoir is just hold
ing its own, and it is as necessary for
the consumers to use the same precau-
ton as during the last month, and the
consumers cooperation with the
Water Company will be appreciated.
The Water Company still feels the
necessity for publishing the warning
TO consumers.
