WANTS FLAG RESPECTED
Brig. Gen. Pershing Issues an
Order on Subject in the
Philippines.

Brig. Gen. John j. PershinS. command
ing the military department Of AIindanaO
in the Philippines, has issued a general
order designed to enforce proper respect
for the national flag.
THE nations flag says he, lis the
supreme symbol of that lofty patriotism
without a controlling measure of which
the republic could not long endure.
Both in war and in preparation for
war. the high duty of the army to stimu-
late and develop love of country among
the people should ever prompt a faithful
adherence to the external forms and
ceremonies of respect for the national
colOrS.
when an individual pays the prescrib-
ed honOrs to the flag in a careless and
perfunctory manner his patriotism at
once falls under just suspicion. 1t is
therefore ordered that during the playing
of the national air at retreat wherever
troops are stationed silence will be main
tanned, both work and play will cease,
vehicles will halt and officers or enlisted
men therein will alight and stand atten-

Capt. Davis Says Gale of

According to Capt. William Davis, mas
ter of the Potomac and Chesapeake line
steamer Wakefield. the gale on the river
Friday was the most severe he has ever
experienced in his long career as a PO-
tomac navigator. and at times it was all
his steamer could do to make Roadway.

When reports begin to come in from
the isolated territory at the mouth of the
river. Capt Davis thinks many disasters
among the oyster fleet will be heard of.
As the Wakefield was coming up the
river the oyster schooner Silver Wave
was seen lying near Port Tobacco, with
some one on deck making signals. The
vessel was in such Shoal water that the
Wakefield could not go to her and the
same conditions prevailed when the little

Thinks City Democratic Commit
tee Exceeded It's Powers in
Annexation Referendum.

After consulting attorneys, Frank
Ferrandini. member of the City
Democratic Committee from Lee Ward
announced yesterday mis- purpose Of
applying shortly to one of the city
courts FOR an injunction to prevent
the City Democratic Committee from
placing the annexation referendum on
the ballot in the primary OF June IL
Mr.. Ferrandni says his position has
been much misunderstood in this mat
ter He favors having all the people
pass on the annexation issue in a gen.
eral election. when q. definite plan has
been prepared. and is regularly sub
mitted by the city Council in the man
ner prescribed by law. But he believes
the preferential expression of opinion,
which the City Committee has direct.
ed be placed on the primary ballot to
be illegal and misleading. On behalf
of the candidates taking part in the
primary and as member of the City
Committee he does not wish to have
the whole primary declared invalid
after il has been held, and considers
1t the part OF wisdom to have the legal
points passed on by competent court
in advance. Furthermore Mr.. Ferran-
DIM claims that the wording the COM
mittce has ordered on the ballot is

favor the submission OF that issue TO

he claims is voting twice on the same

Meanwhile the question has been
raised from other sources whether in
the primary of June IL the bars in
Richmond must close. If it Is a Byrd
law or leSalized primary they must
close. but there is no authority In the
Byrd law 1t is stated for submitting
such issues as annexation. II held un-
der the old Patterson law. II is
claimed that the saloons will not have
