'O'DWYER SEEKS
TAMMANY'S SCALP
Head of National Democratic
Club Asks Governors to
Meet Tonight.

The board OF governors OF the National
Democratic club. for the first time In
eleven years, will assemble at other than
stated meeting tonight The meeting
was called by the newly elected president
of the club. Judge Edward +. O'Dwyer.
the first president to line UP against Tam
many Hall.
Judge O'Dwyers opposition to Tam
many is not directed personally against
Charles r. Murphy. but rather against
existing conditions in the local Demo-
cratic organization. and, while the judge
will not say that these conditions are
the result OF Murphy's leadership, II IS
generally believed he is against Murphy $
continuance as head of the party in this
city and state.
The gathering tonight is to determin"
whether a meeting Of the club shall be
called SATURDAY. Ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of considering the new direct pri-
mary law.
If such a meeting is called. and there
is every reason to believe IT will, II Will
be the lrst time during the reign OF
Charles T. Murphy that the club has
held a special meeting. and the first time
that ANYTHING other than a national sub
jec, has oeen discussed.
Judge O'Dwycr was asked last night "
the Saturday meeting would be anti
Tammauy in its nature. and he replied
that II il was held at all IT would be 10
consider the direct primary law.
But the club is progressive. added
Judge O'Dwycr and intends to toe q
positive force In local affairs.
The above statement In Itself il direct
defiance OF the unwrtten laws OF Tam
many Hall and its chief.
Another blow at the traditions or me
Wigwam is that hereafter the club. as =
club. and not through deputlzed BODY
such as the board OF governors, will dis
cuss in open meetings all questions AZ
fecting the good OF the party and other
matters of importance TO tn" club.
There will bo q meeting Friday night
at Healys Of three ant-Tammany or
sanjzations-the Cleveland Democracy
the Empire State Democracy and the
Anti-Tammany Jeffersonian Alllance-to
consider plans 20" a city-wide uprising
against Tamman" Hall
Prominent anti-Tammany Democrats
from every Assembly district will attend
and to these men will be intrusted the
work Of organizing anti-Tammany clubs
throughout the greater city.

SHERIFF'S SALARY QUESTIONED
w. Edward Cecil Secures Temporary
Injuuclicn Against County Com
missiOners.

Judge Brashears. in the Cireuie
Court yesterday afternoon signed an
order granting a temporary injune-
tion directed against the County
Commissioners, in which a question is
raised as to the extent Of the salary
and fees allowed the county sheriff.
The petitioner is w. Edward Cecil.
a resident of the Fourth district, and
the proceeding was fled though w.
Hallam Claude, attorney, Of Annapo-
IFS.
The validity of Chapter 20. passed
by the last Legislature. regulating the
Sheriff's salary and allowances fer
deputies is questioned. it being oil
legged that the act conflicts with Sec
tion is Of Article of the Constitu-
tion.
BY the Constitution il is pointed
out that the pay OF the Sheriff, sal-
ary and fees combined, could not ex-
ceed SS, 600, whereas, under the act
Of 1912, he receives a greater amount
than that. One of the principal con-
tentions is the allowance of $500 for
the execution of murderers, together
with allowances for deputies.
January 90 is the date fixed by
Judge Brashears for argument on the
petition.

COUNCIL HEARS OF
NEW LIGHTING PLAN
Representatives Of The Utilities
Company Talk to SoIOns.
IMPROVED SYSTEM PROPOSED.
Underground Condicts Among Things
AdvOcsted--Lack cf Quorum
Prevents Action.

/. Business engag sments prevented
some OF the members of the City
Council from attending the special
meeting called at o'clock yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of hearing
Representatives of the recently ia
corporated Annapolis Public Utilities
Company, as to their proposition Of
furnishing electric lighting for the
city. As a result there was not
quorum present, but there was a
lengthy discussion of the question in
an informal way.
Representing the Utilities Com
pany we're Messrs. W. E. Davis, of the
Cleveland Construction Company, of
Cleveland, Ohio, and General Manager
J. ]. Doyle, of the Washington, Bal
timore and Annapolis Electric Line.
The Utilities Company is a subsidiary
corporation to the Railway Company,
with which il will have an arrange
ment to secure the necessary power
to carry its plans of entering the
local field, into effect.
The proposition of the new con-
cern Is to furnish lights for the city
at a cost that will eventually be much
cheaper than the rates of the present
system. They also advocate the plac-
ing of many of the wires in under
ground conduits and improving the
lighting facIities along general lines.
While the Council was not in po-
sition to record any formal action, in
the absence Of sufficient members,
Mayor Strange and the others present
made il plain that the city will expect
lighting for commercial purposes, as
we'll as for the municipality, when the
new company enters the field
The Council will take the matter IN
again at an early meeting 1t is
pointed out by some that the time is
about ripe for action. Anticipating
that a competing. company would en-
ter Annapolis, the Council has de-
ferred the formal execution Of the
contract with the Annapolis Gas and
Electric Light Company, which has
had a monopoly here for years. The
City Fathers, it will be recalled, APP
proved of five-year contract submit
ted by the company about two months
ago, but deferred the formal execu-
tion of it.

SUNDERLANDS WIN SUIT.
Mortgages Entitled to Machinery In
stalled in Braun Packing Co., as
Realty, Court Rules.

In an opinion rendered in the Circuit
Court by Judges William H. Thomas
.and James r. Brashears, a judgment
was entered in favor of Mrs. Freder-
icka Sunderland and G. Clifton Sun
derland, in tire long pending iniunc-
tion suit arising out Of the instaIla-
tion Of refrigerating plant and
machinery on the property of the
Braun Packing Company, at Eastport.
few years ago.
An Important question of law was
involved in the litigation, viz wheth-
er or not the machinery which had
been securely affixed on concrete
foundations became a part of the real
estate. The old machinery had been
removed to make room for the new.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sunderland held mort
gage on the property, which was sub
sequently bought in by them under
foreclosure proceedings. The Cream
cry Manufacturing Company then filed
claim for their machinery which had
not been paid for.
The mortgages, however, contend
ed that the machinery was part OF the
property acquired by them. IN its
opinion, the Court holds that the ma
chinery is part Of the realty; tnat to
remove it would certainly impair the
m)rtgagee's security, which is con-
trary to the principles Of equity. For
this reason the Court holds that the
preliminary injunction should be made
perpetual.
About $4,000 is involved in the
litigation. Messrs. Ridgely P. Melvin
and Robert Moss conducted the cases
as counsel for Mr.. and Mrs. Sunder-
land.

get rid Of poverty Just as we got
rid Of cholera. yellow fever. small
pox, we can get rid of tuberculosis.
With disease germs there is poverty
and social workers are interested ia
eradicating both. DR.. Magruder said
the group of interested citizens be-

The speaker urged preaching the

disease germ would get in the paper
on the wall, the carpet on the floor,
the clothes worn, the bed clothes

the things that can be done we can
stamp out poverty and misery and

but cured and prevented, said the
Doctor.
