MARYLAND OPPOSES
LAT|MER AS JUDGE
Montgomery County Democrats
Contest His Nomination on
Political Grounds.

Protests against the confirmation of
J. Wilmer Lat.mer. named by President
Wilson as Judge of the Juvenile Court
Of the District. continue to go to the
Senate District Committee.
These protests. half a dozen in num-
Der. emanate chiefly from Democrats of
Montgomery county, Maryland. They
charge that Mr.. Latimer is a Republi-
can and on political grounds is not en-
titled to confirmation They aliege he
voted the Republican ticket.
Senator Smith of Maryland, chairman
Of the District Committee. has thus
far not made the protests public. He
will soon call a meeting OF the commit
tee to consider the nomination.
Indications are that the protests,
which are understood to be entirely po-
iItical. win not weigh heavily with the
committee or with the Senate and that
Latimer will be reported favorabIy and
confirmed

ENGINE MEN DISCUSS
IMPORTANT POL|CES
Constitution Subject of Conven-
ton of Brotherhood Held
This Week in Capital.

Important questions Of the constitu-
ton are being discussed today by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen in session here today. 1t is
thought these matters will occupy most
of the time up to the middle of next
week, when the place for the next con-
vention will be selected and a decision
will be reached regarding the change of
headquarters to Washington from Pc
oria, Ill.
The convention opened this morning
will be taken at 5 o'clock this after
noon, and the evening will be passed
with a moonlight excursion down the
Potomac, under the auspices Of the
Capitol division, 160 D; of L. E. Sou
venir badges emitting holders to the
privilege of the excursion will be fur
nished by the division officers at COM
mittee headquarters. Just how many
will attend is not known, but it is ex-
pected the hot weather will bring out
many.
Delegates continue to emphasize the
Importance of the recent action of the
convention In making possible work
ing agreement between the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers. II
was declared today, that the importance
of the new arrangement can scarcely
be overestimated. It means, IL was de-
clared, not only an enlargement OF the
trainmen's organization but strength
ering of the order and better grasp
OF conditions relating to the trainmen
and their employers.
Washington will not get the next con-
vention of the Brotherhood without a
fight. 1t is declared. st. Louis advocates
put In an appearance yesterday armed
with white streamers, bearing the
words, Vote for St. Louis, 1916" IN
blue letters. The Washington contin-
gent was cheered by the report that
Washington would get the headquarters
unless Il was voted to retain it at
Peoria, and that IL the headquarters
was changed the city favored would
have the next convention. There is a
good deal of excitement today and
enthusiasm WAKES strong from time to
time as each city wishing the conven-
ton scores some apparent advantage.

DR.. Launcelot Minor Blackford has re-
High School, three miles west OF this
city. DR.. Blackford announced his re-
tirement at the seventy-four annual
commencement of the institution. which
was held yesterday. He will be sue
ceeded by Prof. Archibald R. Hoxton,
son of the late Col. Llewellyn Hoxton,
formerly associate principal of the
school.
DR.. Blackford has had a memorable
career as an educator of boys. He was
born at Fredericksburg, Va, February
q, 1887, and received his education at
private schools and at the University
received the degree of Master of Arts
in the year 1860. At the outbreak Of
the war between the States he enlisted
as private In the Rockbridge Artillery
and saw four years of service under
the Confederacy. ending with the rank
of captain.
After teaching for five years, follow
ing the close of the war, at the Nor
wood School in Nelson county, he came
to the Episcopal High School where he
has seen constant service ever since.
DR.. Blackford has devoted his life to
the instruction of boys and to their
character building and by his efforts
has made the Episcopal High School
the foremost preparatory school in the
State. 1t was he who inaugurated the
honor system at the school as far back
as 1870. In the year 1904. the degree
of L. L. D. was conferred upon him
by Washington and Lee University.

Yesterday the statement declares.
President Mellen Is making a thor
ough investigation into the cause of che
wreck and those who have testified so
far gave 1t as their opinion that the
accident was caused by lack of judg-
ment on the part Of the engineer, the
New Haven statement asserts.
1T was brought out that he was
going at a rate of from fifteen to
twenty miles an hour Just before he hit
the train," the statement asserts. THE
distance signed was 2,100 feet away
from the home signal and could be seen
1900 feet away. Therefore. the en-
cineer had q total of $500 feet IN
which to stop his engine. This distance,
other engineers said, was more than
ample in which to bring the train to a
stop.
