customcd to handling telegraph
news reports, is furnished by the
Associated Press for this service.
He has a key in The Herald Office,
and sits there until half past two
o'clock, taking the telegraph report
for The Sunday Herald. This is
something seen in no other news
paper Office in town the size of
Brownsville in the whole state of
Tcxas-Or in many towns even larg-
er than Brownsville, for that mat
ter.
Thus Sunday Herald readers are
given identically the same morning
Associated Press report as that
which is published in the big morn
ing dailies throughout the state.
Brownsville should be proud to
know that it is the only town of its
size in Texas which has paper
publishing leased wire press re-
port" said prominent man from
one of the up-the-valley towns the
other day
Other features Of The Sunday
Herald will be enjoyed by its readers
also. The special page of choice
literature which has been one of its
leading features from the start, has
received many compliments. For
this week, we have an especially fine
attraction for this page, in an orig
inal story, written for the Sunday
Herald by Jesse T. Craig. "A Solo
Performance. a Wild Cherry remi-
nisonce related by Reminiscent

The funny supplement" is an
other much appreciated feature of
The Sunday Herald. 1t is as good
as the best. in fact, the same as ap-
pearing in many metropolitan pa

or. Brownsville can't be so very far
away from Baltimore-The Sunday

pictures the Sun has" meaning, of
course. the Baltimore Sun.
Advertisers also are coming to ap-
preciate more and more the oppOr-
tunity which The Sunday Herald
gives them for reaching the entire

growing more and more complete
each week. People up the Valley
soon will be looking every Sunday

medium for advertising in the entire
Valley, for it goes into almost every
English reading home. And. as
usual, it has at least five readers
for every subscriber, and the num-
her is growing every week

LIMITS DISTANCE FOR ROWING.
Superintendent Gibbons Also Puts Ban
on Long Events on the Cinder
Path.

The managers of the Naval AcSd-
emy crew and field and track team
have been notified by Superintendent
Gibbons that they will not be allowed
20 schedule rowing races over long
er course than the Henley distance OF
one mile and five hundred and fifty
yards, or track events of more than a
quarter of a m le.
The head of the Academy took the
initiative in the mstter, having
noticed the exhausted condition of
son,e oarsmen at the conclusion of
their races. which have been over .
two-mile course, and of the runners
in the distance events.
1t is believed that this action will
mean that there will be little inter
est in these branches this spring, as
the big rowing colleges are not likely
TO enter races of such different ma
ture from those for which they make
special preparation, while the field
and track teams are unlikely TO con
sent to a curtailed program.
The course suggested itself to Su-
perintendent Gibbons last spring, and
board was appointed to inquire into
the matter. 1t consisted of Com
mander G. w. Logan, Lieutenant
Commander Harris Laning, Surgeon
j. A. Murphy and Prof. Paul j. Da-
shiel. This board recommended that
the sports be curtailed in the man
ner mentioned.
A great deal of regret is felt that
a course has been adopted which is
almost sure to prevent the midship-
men from meeting worthy opponents
and will likely lower the standard of
Naval Academy athletics.

SCORES EXPENSE
EXECUTION OF JACOBS
Attorney Claude Addresses County
Commissioners Today.
SAYS BILLS ARE ExTORTIONATE.
Laws Particular Stress on Fee Of $500
for Sheriff and Bill Of $99 for
Erecting GalIows.

Representing the League of In
corporated Taxpayers of Anne Arun-
del County" Mr.. w. Hallam Claude,
an Annapolis attorney, was before the
County Commissioners today with
a petition and made lengthy argu-
ment, earnestly protesting against the
payment of the several bills for ex-
pense incident to the execution of
the colored murderer, James Jacobs,
who was hanged in the jail yard on
the morning of January lt
Mr.. Claude charged that each of
the items named was extOrtionate,
laying particular stress upon the
charge of S99 for the erection of the
gallows, and the payment of $500,
which is allowed the Sheriff for per-
forming an execution.
Today was set by the Commits
sioners for taking up the que stion of
approving the bills before ordering
their payment by the County Treasur-
er. Meantime, Mr. CLAUDE drafted
the petition of protest in b .half of a
number of taxpayers. and the Com
missiouers granted him an audience
today The matter was held forcon-
sideration later today.
The petition was published in full
in last nights issue of The Capital.
It contained seven items, to each Of
which protest against the illegality
Cf which, or the gross charge sets
forth, was appended. Reading from
copy of The Capital, MIR. Claude
took the items up seriatim and
argued against their approval at
length.
The largest expense Connected
with the hanging was that Of the
Sheriff's fee of $500, and Mr.. Claude
contend I'd that the BoarC could not
put its stamp of approval on this just
now because of the pending injunction
proceedings, in which the salaries and
fee system governing the Sheriff s
Office. The Court recently ordered a
temporary injunction to issue, and
the argument on this will be heard
before the Court within a few days.
Mr.. Claude also entered protest
against the action of the Board in al,
lowing the States Attorney funds
for the rental of his office. This
course was adopted several months
ago. Mr.. Claude pointed out tfat in
years gone by the States Attorney 5
office was located n the Court House,
stating that the room formerly used
for the purpose is that now used for
the sessions of the irand Jury.

MARBURY ENDORSES
LEE FOR SHORT TERM
Wants Him in Senate 10 Back
Wilson Policies.
HIS RECORD IS PROGRESSIVE.
Thinks His Continuance in Public
Lille Necessary for Best
Interests.

In an interview William T.. Marbury.
who managed the primary campaign
for Governor Woodrow Wilson last
spring, declared that in his opinion
Senator Blair Lee. by reason of his
progressive course in Maryland, Is
the pro yressive candidate par excel.
lence for the seat in the United
States Senate made vacant by the
death o. lsidor Rayner.
Mr.. Marbury regards il as of ser
ious importance to the people of the
State that MIR. Lee should be kept in
public lite and that It is vital to the
success of President-elect Wilson g
administration that il should have
the cordial support Of majority i'm
the United States Senate at the begin
ming. Among other things Mr.. Mar
bury said
81 am free 10 say that when there
are other good Democrats in the field.
or who may become candidates, il is
really painful 70 have TO make
choice. Yet the choice must be
msde There is no escape from that,
and my best judgment is. after con
sidering the subject from every point
of view, that Senator Lee is the man
the men who want to see the Wilson
administration a success ought TO
support for the United States Senate
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of Senator Rayner.
But that is not all. II ia vital
to the success Of the Wilson admins
tration that he should have the cor-
dal support of majority in the Uni
ted States Senate in the beginning of
his administration. Under conditions
now existing in the Senate every
vote will count The Senator 20
be elected from Maryland for The
short term will take his place inn
mediately upon his election. The
question of the success or failure Of
the Wilson administration will prob
ably be decided by that Congress.
"For these practical reasons, IT,
seems to me that Mr.. zee is the man
who should be put forward for the
short term. | believe there are thous-
ands of men who, while like myself
chained to the course Of a laborious
business or profession, are unable TO
enter the arena of public life them
selves, will yet give their hearty sup
port to a man like Lee, who is fight.
ing the hard battle against the forces
of commercialsm in politics.
'He is the embodiment Of the idea
of public service as against that Of
private, secret service the service
Of public interests as distinguished
from the service Of mere private in
terests. To my mind. that is what
constitutes a real Democrat. He has
stood for public interest always and
is entitled to the reward which comes
to those who render high public ser
vice-ths most splendid Of all re-
wards-the support and confidence Of
a grateful and appreciative people. "

MORE MEMBERS.
Holy Name Society Adds 10 lts List Of
ST. Mary's Men.

Last evening a number of men were
received as members of the Holy
Name Society of st. Mary's Parish.
The meeting was addressed by Father
Daley, the spiritual adviser, who also
received the new members into the
society. In his brief remarks the
spiritual director outlined the aims and
purposes of the Society to the new
members.
1t was easily to be seen that the
retreat for the men held last week had
been productive of good results, by
the number IN attendance, but because
of the enforced absence of some of
the officers the election of officers for
the ensuing year was postponed until
next Monday evening. At this time
it is hoptd that every member and
prospective member will attend.
The Holy Name Society is purely
a religious organization for Catholic
men, and while it works quietly and
pers averingly TO instill the love of
God in the heart of all men, ,neverthe-
less it has a social and fraternal side.
1t is expected shortly to number
among its members every Catholic
man in the parish.
