Give Leg Bail

Three young white men who were ar
rested during the past week on the
charge Of Illegal freight train riding on
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington Railroad and lodged in Elkton
Jail to await hearings, escaped from the
jail Friday evening. A fourth one was
injured in attempting to escape. The
men, who were not kept closely confined,
carried the bedsteads from their cells
and tied them together with strips of
blankets and placing the bedsteads
against the stone wall used them as a
ladder to scale the wall. Three OF the
men succeeded in getting over the wall,
but the ladder fell with the fourth one,
severing one of his fingers and otherwise

Big Democratic Parade

The unterrified were all there. That
was some parade on Tuesday night In
Elkton. The election of q Democratic
president Is no common affair. Occurring
only once in while ia long while) 1t Is
naturally a matter for jubilation on the
part of the victors, and the victors In
this county jubilated Tuesday night, to
the tune of hundreds of paraders and
half dozen bands. 1t was big parade
mile long by conservative estimate, two
miles to the glowing fancy OF some OBJ
servers, exhilarated by the excitement
of the evening and other things. Any
how, it was a big parade and witnessed
by one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in this town Directed by Chief
Marshall r. d. Brown and his Ia les,
hundreds of horsemen, more hundreds
of pedestrians bearing torches, auto
mobiles, bicycles, floats, wagons, car
riages, the long line marched to music
furnished by bands from Elkton, Chesa-
peake City, North East, Kembleville,
Havre de Grace and Fife and Drum
corps from Wilmington. Business houses
and private homes, along the line Of
march, were largely decorated.
The evenings enjoyment without an
accident to mar 1t, was concluded with
addresses at the Court House Square
by Congressman ]. Harry Covington and
former Attorney General Isaac Lobe
Straus.
1T Is worthy of favorable comment that
two great parades have occurred in Elk
ton in the last few weeks, calling toge-
tine" enormous crowds, and yet no drum
henness and disorderly conduct has
been noticed on either occasion. The
WHIG commends this fact to the notice
of some of our wet" neighbors.

Havre De Grace Racing To Continue

The Maryland Court of Appeals hand
ed down a decision this week, declaring
constitutional the famous tor Infamous)
Hartford County Racing Law, and uphold
ing the validity of the Racing Commits
sion appointed under the provisions Of
the Act for the conduct of racing at the
Havre de Grace track. The decision
overrules the opinion of Attorney GEN
eral Poe as to the nconstitutionality Of
the Commission and ends all attempts
to put stop to the Havre de Grace rae
ing by an appeal to the Courts.
Nothing more can now be done to end
this racing until the next Legislature
meets on January l, 1914. There is little
doubt that the Havre de Grace race
track will be a big factor in the cam
paign next Fall for legislative candi-
dates. not only in this county, but in the
State.

Mad Dog Alarms Elkton

A dog, believed to be suffering from
rabies, ran amuck' in Elkton, on Fri
day morning, biting some twenty to
twenty five other dogs before it was
finally killed at Landing Lane. After
the dog was killed, DR.. Lowry, veterin-
arian, sent its head at once to Baltimore
for examination The doctor was also
called in to see several of the bitten
dogs. The matter is regarded as of sush
seriousness as to call for the promptest
action on the part of the authorities,
looking to the confinement of all dogs
in the neighborhood.

ROOSEvELT'S FRIEND
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
FOR TAFT FORCES
Collector Of Revenue In
South Tells MacVeagh
He Will Not Retire.

There are indications that trouble
IL brewing in the Treasury Depart
ment because Of the refusal Of Joseph
o. Thompson. collector Of internal
revenue for Alabama and Mississippi,
to resign. Thompson Is head of the
Roosevelt forces in Alabama.
he made public this morning the
letter from Secretary Macveagh ask
Ing his resignation ION authority Of
the President" and also his own let
ter refusing to resign. 1t was stated
az the Treasury Department today
that nothing had been heard Of
Fhompson's refusal through official
channels.
II Thompson stands pat on his re-
fusal to give up the job 1t is ex-
pected that number of reports made
during the last few months will be
brought into play. These reports, 1t
10 understood, were fled prior to the
Chicago convention, and 1t is sur
missed that Thompson's resignation
was not asked for at that time be-
cause 1t would have loked as IL the
President were using his control over
patronage to force his opponents into
lne. Thompson's inclination to
Exoseyelt was known before the con-
have been fraught with political dan
Der to the Administration forces.
Now that Thompson's adherance to
Roosevelt will cause any move on the
part Of the Administration to separate
him from his job to look like an attempt
to swing q club over his head, 1t Is an
ticipated that the basis for the request
for the resignation will be given out as
being the fact that Thompson's adminis-
) tration Of the office has been thorough
ly unsatisfactory for a long time.
Thompson's letter included the state
nent he had twice verbally offered his
resignation to the President and that
II was refused. In his letter to the
Secretary Of the Treasury he said he
would not now crafty him with a
resignation, "even to the point of les
sening the difficulties in which you
fnd yourself involved"
