Old-Time Democrats easp

WASHINGTON, March t.-Congress
was stirred by the statement that Pres
dent-elect Wilson has it in mind to
spend several hours each day in the
presidents room at the capitol for the
purpose Of keeping in close touch with
congress.
Some of the old timers who are
siicklers for the Independence Of the
national legislature as one Of the three
coordinate branches of the government
Sasped at the proposal. Even the Dem
ocralS acknowledge it was revolution
airy. They say, as they viewed the
plan. ii would be drawing a line be
tween cooperation between the legisla-
ture and members Of congress at the
conferences in the capitol. and an ac-
tual attempt on Mr.. Wilson's part TO
influence the drift Of4egislation. The
Democrats themselves were ready to
acknowledge that efforts of the latter
character would not be tolerated.
The statement that Mr.. Wilson is
is attributed to the president elect by
samuel q. Blythe, in an interview with
Mr.. Wilson published in the Saturday
Evening Post.
Ever since the capitol was built there
has been room for the president. The
first three of the presidents visited
the capitol occasionally. and did not

contention Of Samuel Mclean Of Penn

ding on The part of the chief executive
III the affairs of the Legislative branch
found enough supporters to cause Mr..
Washington to withdraw from the vice
presidents platform one day when he
had sought to have the senate pass
an Indian treaty which he favored.
Senator Tillman Of South Carolina
spoke the sentiment of most Of the
Democratic senators when he said:
"lf President Wilson comes as an
adviser. all right: if he does not. all
WrOn@."
The senators want Mr.. Wilson to
understand in advance that they will
brook no attempt to dominate or control
their proceedings. Senator Kern OF
Indiana, who probably will be The Dem
Ucratic leader of the senate after March
I. said he was pleased with Mr..
Wilson's plan.
The general impression here is that
the innovation, if tried. will be short
lived and that it will Immediately he

ALL VETS TO GET MEDALS.
Atty-Genersl Poe Holds All Volunteers
in Conflict With Spain Are Entitled
10 Them.

Acknowledgement Poe has advised
Governor Goldsborough that all men
who went to the Spanish-American
War as members of the Maryland
National Guard as Volunteers are
entitled to war medals. He suggests
that the next Legislature be asked to
provide the money for them.
The ruling has had the effect of
postponing the presentation of l10
medals to veterans of the war who are
now in the service of the State
militia. Adjutant-General Macklin
said that no medals would be given
out until all were ready for distribu-
tion. About 3, 900 will be issued.
Veterans of the Spanish-American
War will form a permanent organi-
satiun within the next few days. 1t
will be called the Maryland Line.
The initial meeting will be held at the
Fifth Regiment Armory. II is the
aim Of the organizers to have the as
sociation take the form of club, Tor

CUP FOR GUARDSMEN.
Presented BY Sons Of Revolution for
Workmanship Contests.

Earnest pleas for the maintenance
and advanceme nj of the National
Guard were made by speakers at the
annual banquet of the Society of the
Sons of the Revolution in the State
OF Maryland, held Saturday night at
TIE Merchants Club, Baltimore.
The feature of the evening was
the presentation by the Society of a
beautiful silver loving cup, to be
competed for by the various branches
and organizations of the State
militia in a movement to promote
craftsmanship.
1t was stated that the lessons of
British defeats during the Boer
War, due to poor craftsmanship,
had been taken to heart by all ma
tions and that in this country the
obligation of straight shooting" in
time of need must rest on the mi
litia as we'll as on the soldiers of
the regular service,
On behalf of the National Guard
of the State, Governor Goldsboroug %,
who was a guest of houor at the ban
quet, received the cup. heartily en-
dorsed the idea that prompted its
preservation, and said that plans fol
contests to determine its ownership
would be worked out later.

NAVAL WEDDING IN COUNTY.
Miss Laura E. Lintbicum Becomes Wife
Of Ensign George L. Woodruff
Leave on Western Trip.

High Gables. the pretty country
home of Sweetzer Llnthieum, Jr.,
at Linthicum Hei yhts, this county,
was the scene of brilliant naval
wedding Saturday night when his
daughter, Miss Laura Eleanor be-
came the bride of Ensign George
Lynn Woodruff, of the Navy, attach
ed to the cruiser Colorado, now az
Guaymas, Mexico.
The home was prettily decorated
and the parlor, where the cerem my
was pc rformed, was a bower of pot
ted plants, ferns, palms and Easter
lilies, and with the handsome gowns
worn by the ladies and the glittering
uniforms of the bridegroom and his
attendants, all of them snsigns in
the Navy and members of the class
Of 1911 and 1912, at the Naval Acad-
emy, the scene was a brilliant one.
The bride, who is 9 niece of Con-
gressman j. Charles Linthieum, en-
tered the parlor promptly at z 30 on
the arm of her father, who gave her
in marriage. They were met by the
bridegroom and his best man, Ensign
J. C. Monttort, of the battleship
Arkansas, and while the orchestra
played the wedding march from Lo-
hengrin, they were married by Bishop
John GardiAer Murray, of the Diocese
Of MARYLAND
The bride wore an exquisite gown
of white satin and carried a bouquet
of lilies-of-the-valley and Bride roses.
The maid of honor was her sister,
Miss Louise Linthicum, and the
bridesmaids were Misses Adele Stro-
bridge and Elsie Foxwell, of Balti-
more, who carried yellow roses. The
ushers were Ensign George S. Gil
lespie, class of 10, and Harry w.
Hill, class of II, and stationed
aboard the cruiser Maryland, now on

NATIVITY TABLE
SHOWS PER GENT
OF Illiterates in State to be IL
of Total.
POPULATION OF MARYLAND.
Whites 0utnumber Blacks 81 TO Is
Per Cent and There Are More
Men Than Women.

Some interesting facts concerning
the population Of the State are con.
tanned ia the new census bulletin
just issued. The statistics are pre-
sented in a series of five tables. which
deal with the composition and char
acteristics Of the population.
The nativity table shows that OF
the total population Of the State .
062, 639, or 81 per cent. are whites
and 232, $50, or 179 per cent. ne
groes. In twelve of the twenty
three counties negroes constitute
more than one-fourth Of the popula-
tion, the maximum percentage being
that Tor Charles county. Native
whites oi native parentage compose
59.2 per cent. Of the total popula alton
of che State Native whites of for
eign or mixed parentage constitute
1A.8 per cent and foreign-born
whites 8 per cent.
Ia the total population Of the State
there are 644, 225 males and 64l.l21
females. In 1900 the ratio was SO. 9
10 100. Among the whites there are
99.2 males to 100 females, while
the negro percentage is 97.7. In
the urban population there are 90
males to 100 females, and in the ru-
raj 1868.
Of the total native population
that is, population born in the Unite d
States-86.2 per cent. were born in
Maryland and 1873 outside the State.
Persons born outside the State con
stitute a somewhat larger proportion
of the native population in urban
than rural communities The urban
population shows smaller proper
tion Of children than the rural and
larger proportion Of persons in the
prime Of life.
There are 73, 397 illiterates in the
State representing 7.2 per cent. of
the total population, as compared with
III per cent. in 1900. The percent
age Of illiteracy among the ne groes is
23.4; ioreign-born whites, ll.9, and
native white, 20.
Ths marital table shows that the
percentage of single women is small
er than the men and is accounted for
by the fact that women marry
younger That there is a larger pro-
portion Of widows than OF widowers
seems to indicate that men more ofte n
remarry than women, but, since hus-
bands are generally older than their
wives the marriage relationship is
more often by death of the husband
than by death Of the wife.
Greater gains in population have
been made in the county than in the
city. and this is accounted for by
large numbers of people living in the
suburbs who, while not credited TO
the city, are practically Baltimore
ans. The population of Baltimore is
given as 55s, ass, an increase OF 81
per cent. since 1900. The population
OF females is less in the county,
while in the city the women outnum-
ber the men. This, no doubt. is
caused by the greater opportunities
offered women in the CITY. Especially
is this true of the colored people

"INTERLOPER" DEFINED
BY NEW WRITER
Explains How the Chamber Of
Commerce Made a Mistake.
MILLS GRIND SLOWLY.
Waggaman Gained Election as Head
Of Body by the Rules Being
Suspended.
tCommunicated.l


Dear Editors--The long drawn ont
statement of the troubles of Mr.. En-.
nails Waggamsn. President of the
Chamber of Commerce, as printed in
your issue of Friday last. is indeed
amusing In fact. it has a tendency
to remind one of the old fable, where
the youngster cried for candy, and
then cried still louder because candy
made him sick
The true definition of 'interloper'
| is person who intrudes, or a person
who pushes or thrusts himself in
without invitation; an intrusion upon
! the rights or privileges of others.
The writer is OF the opinion that those
! who remember the modus ope randi
by which MIR. Waggaman gained his
election, will agree with me that the
above definition is mighty near TO
fitting his case. But, let us reflect a
moment, and see how the facts work
cut.
Prior TO the last annual meeting,
it was generally agreed amongst
the members of the Chamber that a
debt of gratitude was owing to Mr..
Winson G. Gott for the manner in
which he had served the Chamber by
filling the vacated chair of president
during a part of the preceding year
True, Mr.. Gott did not set the world
on fire, but he did try, in his quiet
way, to do his duty. Such was the
justification for the reelection of
Theodore Roosevelt eight years ago,
and such is general justification in
all orders and associations through
out the length and depCh5 of our
land.
But some members of the nomi-
mating committee thought that the
Chamber ought 10 be represented by
an Annapolis merchant, and accord
inglY they nominated Mr.. Strange, of
Strange & White, in the regular way.
and ignored or overlooked the prior
claim of Mr.. Gott. Then followed
the annual meeting. with the exhibi-
tion Of Mr. Waggaman and his
frie nds, moving and succeeding in
having the rules suspended and there
by gaining mis- election as president
for the ensuing year
As the above are the true facts,
to the best of my memory, knowledge
and belief, and therefore, it seems
to follow, as the night follows the
day." that the term of "interloper"
is very apt and appropriate onel
Surely the Chamber of Commerce
must demand a man for its president,
who is either a local merchant, or a
local business or professional man,
and, if possible, poperty-owner and
taxpayer. Is Mr.. Waggaman any of
these?
Verify, the mill of Justice grinds
very slowly, but they grind very sure
ly, and MIR. Wsggaman had better
learn and understand that "it is not
in mortals 10 command success, and
that it is always wiser to follow
Shak sspeare's s diction land deserve
it,"
Yours sincerely,
FAIR PLAY.

A SEVERN RIVER
TRACT IN VIEW
Plans for Big Chantauqua Near
Annapolis.
MAY BUILD SUMMER CAMP.
Wiuona Cliffs Company Considering
Sale OF $50 Acres.

II plans that are contemplated are
carried out, Annapolis will have near
her enc of the largest summer chau-
tauquas and Christian assemblies in
| the Eastern section of this coun-
! try. The matter is being considered
by a group of prominent business
men and ministers.
| II will be located on the Severn
river and will consist of $50 acres.
Negotiations are now pending be-
tween the men interested and the
Winona Cliffs Company. which owns
the property 1t is stated that the
cost Of the property would be 500, 900.
Among the men interested in this
proposition to secure for Baltimore
such an assembly are William F.
| Cochran, Jr., Edgene lowering, John
K. Bland, William H. Morris, Charles
W. Dorsey, Rev. DIR. John Roach
Straton, Rev. DR.. Oliver Huckel and
Rev Or. Peter Ainslie.
Several visits have been made to
the property by those interested in
the deal and its advantages for such
project thoroughly discussed. 1t
is pointed out that the location is
easily accessible to Washington as
well as Baltimore. A branch track
from the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric Railroad will be
aId t. the grounds, it is said.
Another feature which has appealed
very strongly to the men who have
investigated the property is the large
water frontage. According to the
plans as at present mapped out, it is
estimated that the chautauqua
grounds, streets and buildings will
occupy 80 acres. The rest of the
tract will be divided into building
sites. The cost of large hotel, the
chautauqua buildings and improve
ments to the grounds is placed at
S100, 000
The management of the grounds
will be in the hands of a board of di-
rectors. 1t is proposed to get thirty
persons each 90 subscribe $4,000
toward the purchase price of $50, 600.
In return for this each purchaser
will be given two acres Of waterfront
land for site for a summer house.
The group of thirty original purcha-
sers will constitute stock company
for the control of the property anc
the chautauqua through the board of
directors.
In speaking of the proposed assem-
bly, one of the men interested yester-
day said:
The enterprise would bring to-
gether a choice group of thoroughly
congenial people on a spot of great
natural beauty where they could en-
JOY the benefits of salt air and such
recreations as bathing, boating, fish
ing, grabbing and other sports. Ths
tract of land in question, on account
of is elevation above the river, is al
most entirely free from mosquitoes
and malaria
1.-THE building up of the chautau-
qua and the Christian assembly would
minister directly to the intellectual
and spiritual life of this city and sec
tion. The chautauqua sessions each
summer would bring to US the finest
musical artists, lecturers and other
platform talent, while the Christian
Assembly to follow the chautauqua
and to be operated along the lines of
of the Mortified Assembly in Massa-
chusetts, would bring to US the great
religious leaders of the world. -
