Taylor Talks.

c. Burgess Taylor began by saying
that the discussions both for and
aEaint the new charter bring out the
fact that the present charter is re-
pudiated by everybody. Referring TO
the opposition OF General Caldwell TO
the new charter. the speaker said that
the views OF men have changed since
General Caldwell was active in poll
tics and referred to him as being I'M
fortunate enough to be one OF the
lingering obstacles in the lines OF
progress Mr. Taylor also criticized
the local newspapers. DR.. Haskins
and others for opposing the commits
sion charter.
Walter r. Hilton delivered an In
teresting address in behalf OF the new
charter is necessary. He said that
conditions makes a change in gov
eminent necessary and that new
charter ST necessary. He said that
under the present charter franchises
valued az millions OF dollars have
been given away became there was
nothing in the charter TO deal with.
He spoke in defense OF the initi-
alive. referendum and recall features.
He said that in the past when large
corporations wanted n franchise they
elected the council and in this way
obtained what they desired. With
commission government. he said. this
would be impossible. as by use OF the
referendum the people could rescind
any action 81 council. and II neces-
sary could recall any official.
The meeting closed with brief
talks by G. W. Greig and John Wal
lace. and with the announcement ~

OPPONENTS OF BILL
Advocates OF the Bill Hold Meeting
at the Columbia CIub-Severai
Addresses Given.

Held for the purpose OF discussing
the proposed commission charter. the
meeting OF its advocates last evening
in the Columbia Club developed into a
talk-fest. during which the newspapers
and those opposed TO the proposed
measure were criticised for their atti-
tude. Some OF the speakers became
so animated i'm their denunciation of
the charters opponents and their mo-
tives that. at times. the charter was
sadly neglected. IL not entirely over
looked.
With Councilman J. Adam Blum pre-
siding. the speakers were Rev. II. A.

church: c. u. Taylor. DR.. Charles A.
Wingerter. Walter -. Hilton and 9th

In opening the meeting. Councilman
Blum spoke in favor OF the proposed
measure. and characterized the pres
ent council as being too large and IN
wieldy The first speaker was DR..
Pease. who stated that IL a person
read the two charters. he must decide
that the new one is to be infinitely
preferred. He praised the commission
charter for its simplicity. its efficiency
and its democratic principles.
DIR. Charles \. Wingerter was the
next speaker. Denouncing the present
System" of government and the part
politics plays in it's administration, DIR.
Wingerter declared that the proposed
charter will eliminate politics In city
AFFAIRS and will establish "A system OF
merit He reiterated his statements
made at former meetings that, with
the exception of the health depart
ment. the city departments are badly
governed. lie blamed this condition
on the system" and not on individu-
ais. lie said that the commission form
OF government is truly one of demo
cratic principles.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.


BALTIMORE. Md, March Is. 1918.
The gage Of battle in the coming SEN
atorial primary is now well defined, at
least so far as the politicians are con-
cerned. The contest for the togas will
be between John Walter Smith and James
II. Preston as organization candidates,
and William L. Marbury and Blair Lee
az the progressive entries. Signs are not
lacking that it will be a brass-knuckle
fight from start to finish. and the pace
to be set will be hot one from the drop
Of the hat. At the outset OF the conflict
the indications point to an organization
victory. The machine has working
bodice in all the counties and in every
precinct of Baltimore city. while the
"progressves' must perforce build a
working organization. and this will be
no easy matter.
1t Is true that Lee had q good working
organization in the last gubernatorial
campaign. but in that contest he had
many of the regulars who for the time
being jumped the party traces. In the
coming fight the regulars" will be as
man for the ring candidates.
The aggressive attitude assumed by the
progressive" wing OF the democracy
izaton of the fact that the new DEM
ocracy" is out for statewide control of
the party machinery In addition to the
two senatorships.
This attitude of the "progressives'' has

RAILROAD COMPANY HIT
BY DECISION OF COURT
w, w. & G. Will Not Be Able
to Establish Grade Cross
ings at Hyattsville.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

| SPcCidI OVtIcSpOuuCuCe VI Inc quar-
| ANNAPOLIS, March 15. 1918.
Chief Justice Hunter Boyd Of the Mary
land court Of appeals handed down q de-
cision here this morning denying the
right OF the Washington. Westminster
| and Gettysburg Railroad Company to
| institute condemnation proceedings to
procure a right Of way across Columbia
avenue in the western part OF Hyatts-
vile, Prince Georges county. and over
the tracks Of the City and Suburban
railway. near Randalltown. just outside
the southern limits Of Hyattsvilie. This
decision is interpreted to mean that II
the railroad company proceeds with the
building OF the road the tracks will
have to go either overhead or under
ground at the points named, and that
grade crossings will not be permitted.
Washingtonians interested.
Several prominent capitalists Of Wash
tngton are interested in the Washing
ton. Westminster and Gettysburg rail-
road.
Vincent A. Sheehy. counsel for the
mayor and common council OF Hyatts-
pany to cross Columbia avenue at grade,
attacked the validity OF the railroad
company's charter, in that 1t did not
comply with certain provisions Of the
incorporation laws and that, therefore,
the company could not exercise the
right of eminent domain.
Attorneys for the City and Suburban
Railroad Company contended that the
Washington, Westminster and Gettys-
burg company could not condemn right
OF way across it's tracks until the public
service commission of Maryland had de-
termined the manner In which said cross
ing should be made. whether overhead.
underground or at grade. The title OF
the cases were the mayor and common
council Of Hyattsville versus the WASH
ington, Westminster and Gettysburg Rail-
road Company and the City and Suburban
Railroad Company versus the Washing
ton. Westminster and Gettysburg Rail-
road Company.
The latter company sought to compel
the authorities OF Hyattsville to allow the
tracks to be placed at grade over Column
bia avenue. but the circuit court at Upper
Marlboro denied the application Tor o
writ OF mandamus.
The company then asked for authority
to institute condemnation proceedings.
and the circuit court held they haG this
right. The town and the City and Sub
urban Railroad Company appealed, and
the court OF appeals, by the decision of
Justice Boyd this morning, reverses the

Now. 1t just happened that Reddy Fox
was shopping around the old brier patch
that morning. and he overheard what
Jimmy Skunk said. Reddy just lay cow
so that Jimmy Skunk and Peter Rabbit
shouldn't know that he was about, and
then as soon as he got a chance he stole
away to the Green Forest, and there was
an unpleasant grin on the face Of Reddy
Fox.
So" said Reddy to himself there is
some one Jimmy Skunk Is afraid OF! I
wonder why I didn't think of Farmer
Browns boy before"
For a. long time Reddy lay In his Sc
cret hiding place In the Green Forest
studying and studying how he could get
even with Jimmy Skunk, and the longer
he studied the greater grew the hate In
his heart. At last he hoped UP and
kicked his heels.
