TWO MORNING FIRES.

School Afire.

With stormy wind blowing that
was portentious of great disaster in
time Of tire, Annapolis was visited this
morning by two fires. one following
closely in the wake of the other.
The first fire occurred on Hanover
street in the house No 203, owned by
Mr.. Murroe NJ. easier and occupied at
present by Passed Assistant Surgeon
Reynolds Hayden, u. S. NJ. to whom
the house is sub-rented by Mrs. J.
Winslow Pickering who is now in Wey
mouth. England. with her son Lieut..
Nelson Pickering u. S. n. The fire
was caused bya overheated stove and at
drst promised to be quite serious be-
cause of the strong wind blowing at
the time. A general alarm was sound
ed and the three volunteer fire COM
panies responded. The fire was soon
eXtinguishd, but not before consider
able damage was done to Mrs. Picker
lng's furniture and curtains and other
household fixings by the water used to
put the fire out. The house is insured,
and it is understood there is also an
insurance on the furniture.
Scarcely had the engine reel and hose
gone 10 the Hanover street FIRE when a
seconj alarm was sounded At FIRST
persons on the street thought it was a
second alarm of the same fire. bat il
proved 20 be second fire and in an en-
tirely diHerolt section of the city.
This time the re was on Clay street
1T Stanton public colored school. This
ire was also caused by defective nue
and some alarm was at frst appreh end
I'd because of the colored children in
the school They were marshal Il un-
Ter perfect control. however, ana there
was no undue excitement or alarm, and
this fire. too. was soon put out
When Stanton school was discovered
to be on fire, one of the assistant
teachers notified the principal, Mrs. L.
d. Snowdeu, who Immediately sounded
the Gre alarm. The colored children
were marched out by classes in regular
jrder and the entire school of several
hundred children was emptied in less
than two minutes.
1t was discovered that a quantity of
waste paper and trash had been poked
into one of the hues. and this accumu-
ation caused the school fire. 1t is a
mystery how the trash got into the
due. as a register had to be removed to
TO this, and the school children could
not have undertaken such a feat. The
school was again in regular working
jrder and all classes resumed after the
ire, by 10 O'Clock.

THE POLICE QU|zzED
County Grand Jury Still at Work
on the Brooklyn Lynching
Case Today.
SCHWAB'S BROTHER HERE.
Other Relatives And Friends--G the
Murdered White Man Called on
to Tell What They Know. 4

Having exhausted all other lines of
inquiry, the Anne Arundel grand Jury
is now cross-examining the officers of
the Brooklyn police force and the
members of the family of Frederick
Schwab, and intimate friends of the
man whose death was followed by the
vengeful lynching of King johnson,
who was prisoner in the Brooklyn
lookup charged with shooting Schwab
when he was taken out and lynched on
the night of December 20.
The jury this morning had before
il members of the police force at
Brooklyn, including Officers Johnson
and Schultz. In addition to these
the witnesses summoned for today and
who were waiting their call before
the inquest included the two Gleasons,
brotherin-law of the murdered
Schwab, Frank Schwab. his brother.
George Miller and Eddie Donnellv.
All of these were mentioned in the
letter sent to Justice Potee, CT Brook
lyn after the lynching.
While there seems little if any room
to doubt that States Attorney Green
IS doing all that is possible, with
the limited means at his disposal, to
sift to the bottom the lynching of
Johnson, it is daily becoming equal
ly certain that when the grand jury
finishes its probing it will not have
found any real evidence of who led
and formed the mob that took John
son out and shot him to death, and
that there will be no indictments.
What action the jury will take along
the line of reprimanding or dealing
more drastically with Chief of Police
Thomas Irwin and his patrolmen who
left the prisoner unguarded on the
night he was lynched, is problemati-
cal. Judge Brashears, in his charge
to the jury, specifically mentioned
this side of the case and urged that
if it were shown that the officers,
either by negligence or in other way
contributed to the lynching they
should be brought into court and pun
ished.

BAD MANAGEMENTS SOMEWHERE
School Furnace Out Of 0rder-Teaeh-
ers And Scholars Almost Frozen
School Dismissed.

That there is bad management
somewhere az the public school goes
without saying, The school furnace
in the High School Department refuses
10 meet requirements and since the
holidays. several classes have been
dismissed for half day, after the
morning session, and some classes
have not been able 20 assemble at
ALL
The teachers and children have al
most frozen during the week since the
holidays. because the furnace is said
to be out Of order. Now, during the
fortnight's holidays it was an easy
matter 70 have all needed repairs
made, and children who have lost a
good ten days school, with semi-an-
nual examination coming on in Febru-
airy cannot afford to miss more time
just now, and there is bad manage
ment somewhere.
1t is understood that repairs were
made TO the heating plant during the
Christmas HOLIDAYS, but when the
ianitor forced the fires after school
kept again on Tuesday the repaired
furnace refused to work properly.
Rather than have the children seated
in school rooms with a temperature of
so degrees, il was thought best to dis
miss them and send them home un-
til proper heat in the school room
could be maintained.
As il is, some Of the children have
beea taken ill., A little son of Mrs.
Heni. W. Welch, on Market street
went home from school on Tuesday
with a chill, and has been quite i'll
since. Other children have been made
sick from too cold school rooms. De-
spite this there are some parents who
are indignant that their children have
been sent home and are not kept at
school in the cold rooms.

are trying to do the best they can un-

CALLS MARINE CORPS ROTTEN
Congressman Attacks its Officers For
Plotting Against Retired Colonel.

''The whole Marine Corps is so
rotten, the man to work must hold
his nose in passing over it's head
quarters" said Representative How
ard, of Georgia, in Congress yester-
day, in urging upon the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs his bill to
re instate Lieut.. Col. C. M. Perkins,
who was discharged from the corps
three years ago for alleged mental
incompetence.
Colonel Perkins was described by
Mr.. Howard as the "Dreyfus of the
American navy" and the charge was
made that the conspiracy against him
had been hatched at the Army and
Navy Club.
"Only 80 per cent. of the officers of
the navy are in active service" said
Mr.. Howard tThe remainder sit
about Washington and engage in So
cial pursuits. Naval battles are plan
ned and fought in the clubs, where
liquor takes the place of the briny
deep, with red cherry as a ship and
a toothpick as propeling force. The
officers furnish the wind"
Habitual drinkers, Mr.. Howard
charged, had framed up the plot
against Colonel Perkins. He added
that in moment of confidence super.
induced by liquor an officer at the
Armv and Navy Club had admitted
that "this - Perkins is going to be
ousted."
Mr.. Howard declared that Colonel
Perkins had an unblemished record ir
the navy prior to the time that hi:
enemies in the service began to plot
against him. Colonel Perkins, he in
sisted, had never been of unsounc
mind. This was demonstrated, he
said, by the fact that he studied Law
and was admitted to the bar after
having been retired by the examining
board for mental incompetence.

MIR. James Young to Retire From the
Field of journalism.

flagration in 1904. Toe offices after
the fire were located in the Franklin

MIR. Young's only reason for giving
up the work which has occupied many

REPEATING WILSON LAW
Bill Offered by Democrats in Sem
ate Last Night Passed to
House Today.
OPPOSITION DEVELOPS.
Republicans Endeavor to Substitute the
Reform League Draft in the Senate
But Are Defeated.

While the Republicans have de-
noen ced the so-called Wilson Ballot
Law ever since it was enacted and
have been pledged TO its repeal in
campaign after campaign, they will
not, 1T seems, now give a smooth
passage through the Legislature to
the measure introduced by the Dem
ocrats in the Senate last night,
which repeals the Objectionable law.
Republicans in both the House
and Senate desired to 90 on record
today as not wholly in favor of the
bill which wipes the Wilson law off
the statute books. Their feeling was
about summed up, however, in the ex-
preston of Senator Zeihlmau, who
said they would be supposed have to
be contented with half a loaf if they
canot get whole one.
The repeal of the Wilson law pro-
vides for a new order of ballots, and
the administration of election affairs
in Anne Arundel and the other coun-
ties where the negro vote is big fac
tor. The shifting of names of cand-
dates is forbidden and all names Of
candidates in blocks for each office in
alphabetical order is provided for
though at the same time the absence
Of party designation remains in force.
The Republicans are not alone in
their feeling of uneasiness over the
provisions Of the proposed new law,
as many of the Democrats from the
Wilson counties are not pleased with
all of it's provisions. Anne Arundel
members are inclined to the belief
that the section of the measure pro
hibiting the carrying of measuring
deices, stencils and all other mechan
ical aids to voting into the booth will
mean they cannot use the cards of
instruction which have been in vogue
here for years.
When the Senate met this after
noon the engrossed bill which was
introduced late last night, came up
on its second reading file. The Re
publicans, through their floor leader,
Senator Wilkinson, at once offered
by way of an amendment the bill
drawn up by the Reform League, pro-
viding practically the Baltimore city
law for all counties of the State.
Senators Wilkinson, Matthias and
others of the minority, made speech
es depriving the Republican opposi-
tion the continued use of the Wilson
ballot with party designation, al
though the bill repealed the most OBJ
jectionable feat ..es of the Wilson
laws mode of operation. The Re
pubicans were then voted down in
their effort to amend the bill and
again in their move to prevent the
suspension of the rules that the bill
might go to its third reading and final
passage. They also voted solidly
against the passage of the bill, the
ballot on all of these propositions be-
ing to 10.
The bill was at once sent to the
House, where the same plan will be
followed before the measure finally
goes through there to its final passage
before being sent to the Governor
for his signature before he goes out
Of office next Wednesday.
