PRESENT ELECTION MEN
Grand Jury Returns True Bills
Against Those in First
Precinct OF the Third
District.
NEGLIGENCE IS CHARGED.
Understood That tie jury Found no
Evidence of Fraud on Part of the
Men il Prs scented.

True bills against six election Off
cials of Anne Arundel county have
been returned by the grand jury of
the county, which is in session here
and which will complete its labors to-
morrow and be discharged by Judge
James r. Brashears, Of the Circuit
Court.
The men presented by the grand
jury are the three Republicans and the
three Democratic officials who served
in the polling house of the first pre-
cinct of the Third district of the coun-
ty during the general election on No
vember z.
The men presented are Enoch p.
johnson, Democrat, and George Dau-
man. Republican, chief judges; James
Ju5b, Democrat, and William S. Eli
son, Republican, associate Judges ::
Harry c. Linstead, Democrat. and
George II. Robinson, Republican,
clerks.
The presentments against them
have been returned to the Court, but
the indictments have not been drawn.
However, it is understood that there
is no actual charge of fraud or crook
edness against any of them, the pre-
sentiment against them being based
o1 their negligence in leaving their
lolling house before their duties had
been completed
When the voting was completed on
election day last November, the Off
cials, following what is understood to
be long-established custom in this
and in some other precincts, closed up
the polling house and went out to
supper. When they returned they
found that the polling room had been
entered, the ballot box broken open,
and the ballots voted during the day
scattered all over the place.
A long wrangle lasting we'll into the
next afternoon resulted, but the vote
was finally counted and the returns
made on them. The October grand
jury for the county was in session at
the time. but adjourned shortly after.
Later, Albert Tyler, of Eastport,
broke out in murderous rage that re-
suited in his killing his wife and SON.
in-law and seriously wounding his
daughter, and the Court recalled the
grand jury to present him.
While the jury was working on this
case, the lynching of King Johnson
occurred at Brooklyn, and delayed it's
adjournment. In the meantime, Arthur
c. Whittimore. the Republican lead
er in the Third district, with other
REPUBLICANS, went before the jury and
called that body's attention to the ir-
regularities in his precinct on the
day of election.
This was followed by the calling of
a number of the officials from the
precinct before the jury and their pre-
sentiment for trial on what might be
called charges of negligence by that
body.
The jury will adjourn tomorrow,
according to present indications, after
having presented two murderers dur
ing its special session, and failed to
find any tangible evidence on which to
present any one in connection with
the lynching of the negro Johnson at
Brooklyn.

SiOnS.
MISS SHAFER RESIGNS.
State l. brarian UGter crOihers Tenders
Resignation TO Take Effect on
February First.

Governor Goldsborough today ap-
pointed DR.. Thomas Fell, president
of St. Johns College, delegate to the
peace conference Of the National Civic
Federation. He appointed Cardinal
Gibbons and Theodore Marburg del
egata to the same conference yester-
day evening.
The morning mail brought to Gov
ernor Goldsborough more applica-
tions for Office under his administra-
tion and the indications are that in
a week or two every place within his
gift will have been asked for many
times. Nearly all those who have
applied directly or through friends
are Republicans, though there are
several Democrats in the list espec-
tally for place as notaries.
Nj Lynn Shafer, State Libra ~ian,
sent her resip alton to the Governor
today to take feet February / Her
position will not have to go begring.
As it has been filled by woman
ever since the beginning Of Lowades'
administration, the women seem to
think that they have a mortgage on
the place. Those who have made ap-
plication for the appointment are
Miss Katherine Plunkett, of Bati-
more; Elizabeth b. Claude and Mamie
Melvin, of Annapolis; Charlotte
Newell, of Baltimore; NJ. Augusta
S. Savage, of Elkridge, and Walton
H. Grant, of Howard county, the lat
ter being the only man after the job.
Mrs. Alice Tate Williams, now Gus
todian of Works Of Reference in the
State Library, today asked for re-
appointment.
The only candidate who has loomed
up for Acknowledgement is Briga-
dier-General Charles +. Mackin.
General Mackin lives in Howard coun-
ty, and was the Republican candidate
for the State Senate in the last cleo
tion. He has long been an officer of
the National Guard, and it is believed
that he will be appointed.
So that the Governor can know
how fine they look, some of the APP
plicants sent their photographs. One
sends picture of his residence and
marks it my House.
The rush is expected to begin to-
morrow, which is the first day that
the Governor has set for receiving del
egations. He will devote practically
the whole day to hearing the pleas of
candidates and their friends.

THE WHITE HOPE.
Naval Academy Athletic instructor
Sees One in ''Cy" Cummings.

Beyond question the star Of "Cy''
| Cummings, that big. brawny, youth
/ ful legislator from Montgomery coun-
| ~, is in the ascendancy. "Cy' is
built for athletics from the ground
up. and he knows it.
A few days ago Delegate Cum
mings, accompanied by Mayor Strange
and several members of the General
Assembly, paid visit tc the Naval
Academy. Once there the Hon.
Cummings first desire was to see,
to him, the most important feature of
the whole government school for
grinding out admirals. He did not
have a thought even for poor John
Paul Jones, and wouldn't take mo-
ment to gaze at the sacred casket
under the stairway in Bancroft Hall.
No, stree, Cy wanted to be inn
mediately presented to the man who
makes athletes, who develops brawn
in the middies, and he sent his card to
the trainer and boxing master. J. T..
Murray, of Colum 1ia University. coach
ing fame. Mr.. Murray was presented to
the member of the House from Mont
gomery, and the talk veered TO bust
ness in the coach's line, forthwith.
Cy wants to develop in physical Gull
ture. He is even willing to begin in
the method Of the "Sweed Dance
Hall'' at the Naval Academy, as the
middies call it. Indeed. Cy believes
in beginning at the bottom of the
ladder of athletic fame and building
it, round by round. by which ne is to
rise to become the great white
Hope"
Instructor Murray sees great possi-
bilities in Cy. He "Cy" -zed him up.
as it were. and scanned that stalwart
figure of feet 4 inches in height that
tip the scales at $50 avoirdupois. and
with that bland Murray smile, charac-
tersitic Of the boxing master, his
keen eye and quick judgment at once
took in at glance the whole situa-
tion.
Under proper training Delegate
Cummings has in him the athletic
qualities for the "White Hope" and
may recover for the white man the
athletic prowess and championship.
At any rate "Cy' Cummings will be-
gin training at once, it's said, under
Gymnastic Instructor J. E. Murray. Of
the Naval Academy, and Mr. Murray
has been induced to open a training
school in Annapolis for Delegates Of
the Legislature, who have athletic
aspirations, and among whom Dele
gate Cummings will be chief.
Mr.. Murray has not decided upon
the locality for his training headquar-
ters in town, but the pressure is so
great that the athletic instructor will
be compelled to undertake the work
along the line of developing the mus
cles of the members of the General
Assembly, and will begin in a few days
to give them instruction in physical
culture.

MIDDlES Mustn't TIP.
Comptroller Of Treasury Decides 10
Relieve Young Officers Of Drain
Of $500 A Month.

Assistant Comptroller of the Treas
ury Mitchell yesterday decided there
will be no more tipping Of mess at
tendants at the Naval Academy by
midshipmen.
The future officers of the navy were
relieved of that nuisance by his deci-
sion made known yesterday.
For nearly six years the midshipucn
have been contributing about S4O0 "a
month extra pay to the stewards.
etc, because the Government appro-
priation for those employees has been
held to be insufficient to obtain com
petent men.
This is declared illegal, because it
practically amounts to a Governmen {
employe receiving two salaries for
the same work.

Yesterday afternoon all roads led
to CArvel Hall, where Mrs. C. A. E.
King was the delightful hostess for
one of the largest card parties given

held in the sun parlor, which was
beautifully decorated, the color scheme
being pink, and carnations in this
color, the flower.
There were eleven tables and
bridge" was the game enjoyed. A
prize, beautiful silver spoon, was
given to each table. After the game
a buffet luncheon was served in the
private dining room, adjoining the
large dining room, at Carvel Hall.
This afternoon a card party will be
given by Mrs. Murphy, wife of Sur
geon Murphy, United States Navy,

Inertia of Bodies.

Lay visiting card on the tip of the
left forefnger and on it place a penny
A quick flick Of the card with the right
second finger will remove the card
without disturbing the coin. Another
trick which illustrates the inertia Of
bodies is to knock away the bottom
Of pile Of craftsmen without upset
ting the pile. This Is effected quite
easily with the help Of a fat ruler.
The remaining craftsmen are removed
successfully by a number Of smart
blows.
A more spectacular and apparently
risky trick consists of drawing a news
paper away from under a glass filed
with water. Provided, however, that
the table is smooth and the paper be
pulled away smartly and horizontally
there Is no danger of the water being
spilled. A certain we'll known conjurer
Is able to remove the tablecloth from
under knives, glasses. plates, etc. as
laid for a meal without disarranging
them or doing any damage.

IT ALWAYS CONES In
HANDY

THE proof of a boys mechanical skill
is usually what he can do with
knife: the proof of a woman's is what
she can do with hairpin.
Few women take naturally to ordi-
nary tools. They use hammers in a
gingerly and ridiculous manner or they
pound their fingers with them; they
put blunt pointed nails along instead
of across the grain, and then wonder
why 1t splits; they use screwdrivers
principally to pry open boxes. and they
think pincers were made to crack nuts
with. But they know how to manage a
hairpin-
She succeeds, by its help. in turning
the hasps OF windows from the outside
when obliged by accidental lockout to
"burglarize'' her own house. She arms
herself with it when travelling to keep
disagreeable neighbors at respectful
distance. She files receipts upon it.
The fan has long been suggested as
the object most suggestive of the
Spanish woman. Ladies of other coun-
tries are famed for their specially
graceful or slxillful use of other dainty,
family. feminine articles. but if we are
asked to select the thing most truly
representative OF the American girl we
would name without hesitation the

When cleaning an especially promi-

Rubbers of the new pattern are apt
to stretch If they are hung up by the

good plan is to have a wall bag made
