Enactment of the Repeal Measure
(Contributed.)

In signing Senator Bells bill yes
terday afternoon repeating the six
trustees law, Governor Goldsborough
did the wise and proper thing, and
the people of the whole community
are pleased that the question is thus
settled once and for ALL The law
regarding trustees is now uniform,
every district school in the State hav-
ing a board of three trustees.
Conditions in and about Annapolis
school are not essentially different
from those in the Frederick school,
the Hagerstown school and the Cum
berland school, and there is no reason
why our school should be taken out
of the State system and conducted
differently from other schools of its
class.
The law of 1896 provided for six
trustees with absolute power of APP
pointment and removal of teachers
without appeal. Any teacher could
be dismissed by this board without a
days notice and without giving any
reasons for the dismissal. In all other
respects the rights and powers and
duties of the board of six and the
board of three were precisely the
same.
The present board of three trustees.
Mr.. William H. Feldmeyer, president.
and Mrs. Thomas j. Linthicum and
Mrs. Ernest Duvall, are managing the
school in very efficient and salts
factory manner and the splendid con-
dition of the school attests their
good work.
BY the enactment of the repeal
measure our school will be restored
to its place in the State school system
and our high school will again be en-
titled to receive its share of the State
appropriation amounting to $4,000
year Thus let us hope the contro-
versy is settled and the strife ended.
Those who have opposed the school
administration should now acquiesce in
the decision and join the school au-
tborities in their efforts to make our
school one of the very best in the
State, and let the credit of making it
a success be shared alike. by all. M.

COMPLAIN OF RATES.
Maryland Electric Railways Too High
SAYS Majority of River Residents.

The Magothy River Association,
through its president A. j. Corning,
Jr asked the Public Service Com
mission yesterday to make a physical
valuation and examination of the
Maryland Electric Railway, which
operates between this city and Balti-
more.
The Commission is also asked to
delve into the capitalization of the
road, its methods of operation and it's
management, with the end of deter
mining if the capitalization is excess
sive or not and if the operation and
management is economic, and if the
road is being conducted with due re-
gard to the stockholders and the bond
holders.
1t is contended by the Association
that the charges made by the road be-
tween Annapolis and Baltimore give
undue and unreasonable preferences
and advantage to patrons using GER
tain stations near Baltimore and An
napolis over those using the stations
along the middle section of the road.
To support this contention it is
pointed out in the request that the rate
between Baltimore Highlands and
Wellham Station ranges from 2.5 to
10 cents per mile and the rates be-
tween Joyce's and Annapolis range
from "a to 2.8 cents per mile, while
the rate from Glenburnie to Annapo-
lis ranges from 8 to 3.S cents per
mile.
Again it is stated that the round
trip rate between stations near BaIti-
more range from to cents and be-
tween stations along the middle Sec
ton the rate is from to SIS cents
per mile.
The protest concludes by stating that
"the rate charges are not Just and
reasonable for the service rendered
and in excess of those charged by
other roads for similar SERVICE

PATRIOTIC SURPRISES.
Good Show at the Colonial Last Night
Big Audience.

Last night at the Colonial large
crowds greeted both performances,
The vaudeville for the first part of the
week proves to be a good bill. and
judging from the applause from the
audience present, the acts were in
great favor.
Martinelle, the automaton. opened
the show. 1t is the greatest figure now
on the vaudeville stage. 1t walks and
talks the same as a human being, the
talk, by the way, is produced by a
monograph which is hidden in the
figure. The lady who presents this
act brings the figure in the auditorium
in full view of the audience. Marti-
nellie must be seen to be appreciated,
Wednesday evening the mechanism
will be exposed by the operator.
Mae Hendricks was second on the
bill. She is clever singing
comedienne, as her billing states.
She does four new songs, and makes
four complete changes of costume.
Her last number as the bathing
girl elected much applause, and she
was forced to make several bows.
Last, but not least. is the Three
Musical Saxons, in "A Day at a
Military Post" were the real big
hit of the show. They present an
act that is away from the usual run of
musical acts. The act carries their
own special scenery and the effects
are marvellous. The lady members of
the act wear some natty military
costumes and do some really clever
playing on different musical instru-
ments.
The act is brim full of patriotic
surprises and the big finish brought
down the house, which fairly yelled
its approval. Two good pictures
complete one of the best bills seen
at the local play house in some time.
A special matinee will be given on
Washington's birthday, at o'clock.
Three big acts and pictures will be
presented.

Does not Believe in Mind Reading.
Communicated
Annapolis, Md, Feb. Is. 1912


Annapolis, Md, Feb. Is, 1912.
Editor Evening Capital:
l attended a performance at local
theatre last week and witnessed what
was termed an exhibition of mental
telepathy" was told by one of the
performers that some people call it
Humbug." Many people in Annap-
oils have told me that they entirely
believe in the performers wonder
full ability and for this reason claim
membership among the latter class
of critics.
A careful study of the perform
ance must prove that the claim to
mind reading is mistake. The
lady on the stage, we are told,
reads the thoughts of people in the
audience and to assist" her sends
gentleman down among the audi
ence to inquire by asking direct
questions what their thoughts are.
1t is only reasonable then to suppose
that having obtained such informa-
tion he transmits the same by an in
genius code to the lady on the stage
at the moment of attracting her at
tention. If this is not so why is the
gentleman needed?
Affairs of prominent men and women
visiting the theatre can be learned
before the performance starts and the
words Il have thought coming to
me from man named j." can work
we'll without an assistant. 1t is the
wonderful" part of the performance.
Personally, ] enjoyed the show, as
il was amusing and clever, but the
avowed claims to mind reading is an
imposition and humbug.
Respectfully,
