Charlotte Hall Alumni Reunion

Thursday, the 18th OF June, 1911,
will be another dieter day in the
calendar of Charlotte Hall. For
the second time in the history of
this venerable institution, her
Alumni are called upon TO revisit
their Alma Mater and renew the
happy associations OF schoolboy
days.
We have every reason to believe
there will be large attendance and
we are specially anxious to have
the old boys of Southern Maryland
turn out in the spirit OF "Auld Lang
Syne." What a pleasure it will be,
after years OF separation and strug-
gle, TO stand once more amid the
familiar scenes OF that bright per-
iod when happy boyhood knew no
grief" With what JOY will we
clasp hands across the wide chasm
of years and look into the faces OF
our long lost friends.
The banquet will be held in the
gymnasium Immediately after the
Commor cement Exercises and the
music OF fine orchestra will aid in
the digestion Of such delicacies as
Prof Coad's expert knowledge can
supply. The affair will be altogeth-
er informal. The charge per plate
is $2. Remit to the Treasurer, Mr..
B. Wood Burch. AL Equitable
Building. Baltimore, Md.
1t is a matter OF regret that com.
Portable lodgings cannot be secured
for all the Alumni. Our homes will
be open TO our friends and q vel
come hand extended, but Charlotte
Hall is small village aud the &C.
comodations are necessarily limit
ed. This is generally understood, ,
however, and intending visitors
should provide in advance for the
needed Accommodations. as they have
done in the past.

COMMUNICATED.


We need most rigid publication
OF our own government in its legis-
lative and executive brsnches-such
a publication as is advocated by ex
President Roosevelt, Senator La
Toilette, Governor Wilson OF New
Jersey, Secretary Meyer OF she Navy,
the Attorney General and the Post
master General. The Secretary OF
the Navy has shown that nearly two
millions OF dollars a year are vast
cd in the maintenance OF absolutely
useless navy-yards. To burn them
up or dynamite them would be an
economical and just procedure.
The dynamiting process might per-
haps shock and awaken the country
TO the fact that these navy yards
have been long and watefully main
tanned for the benefit OF the mem
bers of Congress in whose districts
they are situated. There are many
military posts in the West aud the
Northwest that are uselessly and
expensively maintained for the same
reasons and are decimating and de-
moralizing the army. II represent
ative government cannot be relieved
OF such diseased incubi as these,
then so much the worse for repre-
sentative government.

Baseball at Leonard Hall.

On Monday last in a very loosely
played game the Charlotte Hall team
defeated the Leonard Hall nine by
a score Of l5 to 6 The game was
without a feature and dragged from
start TO finish. Both teams, which
have played some very creditable
ball. seemed to have had an off day
and the Hall boys were further
from form than their opponents.
Camalier and Withgott who did
the pitching for their respective
teams pitched good ball. with the
exception of the 7th inning for Cana
lier when the visitors faund him
for 3 punched hits and the 8th for
Withgott when the locals landed
him out for three.
The fielding was very ragged in
places.

CAUGHT THEM RED HANDED

Capt. F. J. Lund, commanding of
ficer of Company C of this city,
stepped into the limelight Friday
down at Des Moines by arresting
two bootleggers who were selling
beer to the militiamen in camp at
Camp Dodge" the state encamp-
ment of the seth regiment.
The bootleggers were caught III
the act by Capt. Lund, who was in
charge of the provost guard at the
time, and they were taken into Gus
tody by him and placed in the guard
house.
Sheriff Ness of Polk county was
then notified and the prisoners were
removed to the jail in Des Moines.
Lund's suspicious were aroused
when he discovered guardsmen COM
ing into camp with bottled beer un-
der their arms and he started an in
vestigation- which resulted in the
capture of the bootleggers.

MONEY SAVED BY WAITING

The cost of drainage construction
work in this vicinity is noticeably
cheaper this year than last.
A good example of the relative
cost of ditch work this year and
last may be had in the contract just
let for the construction of the
whistler drainage ditch. It exempli-
fies the value of the old adage,
"make haste slowly" Advertise
ments for bids on this work were
made year ago and the lowest bid
received at that time was $1,000.
All bids were thrown out and the
contract has just been let to l.
Woods & Company for s6,515.
The Whistler ditch lies in Fremont
township in Hamilton county and
Colfax township in Webster county
It drains large district and the
farmers in the district have been
clamoring for ditch for some time
However, they are all satisfied now
over the delay in the matter by the
supervisors, as the wait Of one year
saved them considerable money.

Newman is a servant of the city
council of Webster City. The law
makes it his duty to report all fires
to this Office. 1t is up to the Web
ster City council to see to it that he
complies with the law"
The above statement from Mar
shall Roe appeared in Saturdays
Register and Leader.
When asked what he thought
about it this morning, Mr.. Newman
replied: "My Office as fire chief of
the city is one that not many peo-
pie want as it is only volunteer
work with nominal pay. I have net
the time to devote to looking up
the information called for in these
reports unless I am paid therefore;
and as there is no penalty attached
for refusal to comply, I will leave 1t
to the council. If the city wants
to make these reports, let some of
the city officials do it, am too
busy"
The way the matter stands, it
looks as though Newman had the
best of the argument, for there new
er was a law passed that did not
provide for some penalty that could
be enforced in case of it's violation.

COMPANY E

Took Second Honors in
Company Drill.
WERE FIRST IN SQUAD DRILL
Dropped Out of Baseball Tourna-

Game and Losing One.
WERE FIRST IN SQUAD DRILL

Company C arrived home Satur'
day afternoon from the state en-
campment of the 56th regiment al
Des Moines. Capt. Lund and pri-
Yates Irving Clark and Alva Brin-
golf did not arrive home till yester-
day, being detained to give evidence
in the case Of the two bootleggers
arrested by Lund the evening pre-
vious to breaking camp.
The captain reports that this
years camp was one of the best
that he has experienced for years,
camp accommodations were excel
lent, much work was accomplished
and the purpose of the camp IL
general was realized more fully
than ever before.
Company G took one first prize
only, being first in squad drill
Squad drill is an evolution ty g
corporal and eight men and Is one
of the most difficult Of the military
drills to excel in. Company c al
so tied with several other compar
les for second place in company
drill-Company G of Fort Dodge
being awarded first In this compe
tition.
The honors in the baseball tour
nament went to Company B OF 1dt
Grove. Company had goof
chance at the prize, but dropped ou
Of the running after playing tw'
games-winning one and losin'
one-on account of the sickness o
two OF the players. They won
game from the Emmettsburg com
pany and lost to the Ida Grove com
pany.
The case of the bootleggers de
veloped the fact that an organizes
gang were operating in the busi
ness of selling beer to the soldle
boys, and the federal authorize
are still working on the case. Tn
final disposition of the matter rest
with them.

PLANS FOR A
COMEDY GAME
Special Baseball Game to be Played
Between the Fats and the
Leans Under Special
Rules.
MAYOR TO ACT AS UMPIRE
Every :Beefer" to be "Pinched'
and Fined $5.s5 Which Goes
to Commercial League,
MAYOR TO ACT AS UMPIRE

The latest in the way of freak
baseball games is one that is now
being planned by the representa-
tive business men of the city. 1t is
game with a purpose, the object
being to replenish the excheqner Of
the Commercial League.
The game will be between the fat
men and lean men of the city, great
care being exercised in the selection
of the members Of each team. A
weight limit is to be established,
and the rules governing the game
will be made especially for the oc-
casion.
The most important of these rules
are that Mayor Sparboe is to act as
umpire, and whenever any player OF
fan does any "beefing" he Is to be
arrested and fined s5.S5-the nomi-
nal fine for drunks. The money from
all fines imposed is to be turned in
to the treasury of the Commercial
League. The plans for this big game
have not been perfected yet, bu,
will be in shape before long.
The noisy fans will have to have
some patience to keep from getting
'pinched."

ROE MAKES
STATEMENT
Fire Chief Newman's Stand in Mat
ter of Making Reports
of Fires Calls Forth
Reply.
CHEF NEWMAN STANDS PAT
Says That City can Make Report if
It Likes-He is Too Busy
Himself.
CHIEF NEWMAN STANDS PA:

The refusal of Fire Chief Ora
Newman to make reports of fires to
state Fire Marshal Roe Of Des
Moines, as called for in recent en-
actment of the Iowa General As
sembly, has called forth a statement
from the state official with reference
to his stand in the matter. Nj
Newman is the first fire chief in the
state to ignore the request of Mai
shall Roe that all fires be reported
to his office.
Chief Newman wants some re
muneration for his work If he makes
the report. The law does not pro-
vide for pay to chiefs for making the
report, unless they are not paid fol
their services by their own city
The Webster City fire department J:
volunteer organization and the
salary of the fire chief Is but $s(
per year.
After careful perusal Of the new
law regarding the reports to the
state officer, Mr.. Newman learned
there was no penalty attached foi
refusal to make the report. Hence
he has decided not to do so unless
he is paid for his trouble.
The blanks for the report call fol
lot of information about the cause
OF the fire; the day and hour of oc
currence; value Of building; amoun
OF insurance, and many other thing
that would require quite a lot o
time for the fire chief to find ou
and as Newman is business mai
with but little time to spare. he say
that he will not make the report.
Here is State Fire Marshal Roe
statement made after he learned o
the stand taken by Chief Newman
! "All l have to say Is that Chic
