IN FRACTIONAL FIGHT
Controversy Over Proposed
Municipal and Fire Depart
ment Building.
special CorresDopdence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
HYATTSvILLE, February 10. 1912
The proposition to erect a building for
municipal and fire department purposes
has engendered one Of the bitterest fights
among the voters that has ever taken
place here and Is an echo Of the fac
tional controversy that has often aroused
the community heretofore. Several weeks
ago three members Of the town council
Stephen j. Kelly, Edward Devlin and E.
A. F'uller-Corporation Counsel Vincent A.
Sheehy and committee from the fire de-
partment took a bill to Annapolis au-
thorizing the mayor and common council
to issue certificates of indebtedness for
1000 with which to erect and equip the
building.
Favored by. Senator Wells.
State Senator Charles A. Wells Of
Prince Georges county agreed to have the
bill passed without a referendum, but
Delegates Ogle Marbury and Richard p.
Whitley, democrats, insisted upon a
reference to the people. Senator Wells.
who was at one time mayor Of Hyatts-
vile and for forty years identified with
the interests OF the community. stated
that he believed he knew the sentiment
of the people Of his town on the propo-
sition, and he was willing to assume re-
sponsibility for the passage of the bill
without the referendum feature.
Delegate Oliver S. Metzerott declared
he was in favor Of the initiative and ref
erendum as a general proposition but II
Senator Wells would assume the RESPONSE
bility he was willing to vote for the
measure when It came to the house. The
bill was introduced in the senate by Sena-
tor Wells and was passed.
It then went to the house and the
speaker referred 1t to the ways and
means committee. This committee, how
ever, reported the bill out without delay.
and it was referred to the Prince Georges
county delegation of which Delegate
Whitley Is chairman.
Voters Sign Petitions.
After considerable discussion at the
original conference. Delegates Marbury
and Whiteley agreed that if petition
was sent them signed by majority Of
the voters Of the municipality approving
the bill the latter would be passed with
out a referendum, thus saving the delay
and expense incident to such proceed
ingn. Friends of the measure got busy
and a petition signed by 276 Of the 3S7
voters at the last municipal election ap-
proving the bill was sent to Annapolis.
The opposition to the bill. led by former
Mayor William P. Magruder, asked for
time in which to secure signatures to a
petition asking that the bill be passed.
ratification. For the past two weeks
this petition has been circulating, and
many voters have placed their names on
both memorials.

Bible Study Work.

Robert NJ. HOPKINS, SeCEetdIy VI LAC
Christian Sunday school board OF Gin
cinnati, Ohio, and the Rev. Harris M.
Kirk, pastor Of Franklin Presbyterian
Church of Baltimore, will conduct the
Bible study institutes and direct the gen.
eral course of Bible study work during
the week. Both men have been success
full in organizing and conducting biDie
classes, and they will give IN their series
of Institutes, which are to be heid at St:
PauIs Lutheran Church, a summary OF
methods and aims to be kept In mind In
Sunday school work.
The evangelistic aspect of the cam
paign will be explained by two OF the
most successful evangelistic workers
in the nation, the Rev. Arthur J. smith

great financial district.
The entire work of arranging the pro-
gram for the campaign has been done by
the local committee without assistance
from the central committee in New York,
which is directing the nationwide move
ment. Details Of q difference between
the Washington and the general national
workers in the campaign. resulting In the
withdrawal of assistance from New York
leaked out last night. Forty other Amer
lean cities, which have undertaken similar
campaigns. have had the cooperation OF
the central committee. The situation gen.
orally has been understood to be the re-
suit of the decision to advance the date
for local meetings from April to Febru-
airy. resulting in the necessity for the
comforting Of more authority on the local
committees in the matter of arranging
Il nrOgram.

Wanted 5000 Raised.

The Washington leaders, after being
virtually promised that the follow-up con-
servation meeting. which Is expected to
attract 5000 delegates, would be held
here, became dissatisfied, 1t is said, when
the central committee issued what was
regarded by them as an ultimatum to the
effect that $1,000 must be raised for the
congress- or the event would be held In
some other city.
Refusing this demand. the Washington
committeeman, 1t Is said. became further
involved in a misunderstanding with the
central committee regarding the date for
the local campaign. This, 1t Is asserted,
resulted in another ultimatum from the
national leaders to the effect that the
central committee would not send a team
of experts to Washington to conduct the
campaign unless the wishes Of the COM
mittee regarding a campaign date were
complied with.
1t was stated last night that the Is
sues which are at stake In the men and
religious forward movement will be in
no way affected by this misunderstand-
ing. That the program which has been
arranged is as complete as any which
could have been effected with the aid of
the New York officials. is the view
unanimously concurred in by members of
the Washington committee.
