OPINION FILED
I'm THE INJUNCTION OF z. FRANK ELY
AND WIFE AGAINST SPRINGFIELD
STATE HOSPITAL BY JUDGE WIN.
HI. THOMAS S-THE HOSPITAL
HAS 20 DAYS TO ANSWER
The BILL.

In the bill for injunction of F. Frank
Ely and wife against the Springfield
State Hospital and J. Clement Clarke,
it, superintendent, Judge William Ill.
Thomas has filed an opinion and de-
cision over-ruling the demurrer of
the Springfield State Hospital to the
bill The bill filed for injunction by
Mr. and Mrs. Ely alleged that all the
sewage from the Springfield State
Hospital Is emptied into the waters
of Piney Run flowing through the
property OF the Springfield State Hos
pital and the adjoining down stream
property Of MIR. and Mrs. Ely. Ac-
cording to allegations OF the bill OF
complaint the emptying Of the sewage
into Piney Run made the waters SO
foul that it became unfit for all
agrarian, stock, domestic and farming
purposes, and caused offensive smells
% that the odors were intollerable to
Mr.. and Mrs. Ely. The Springfield
State Hospital demurred to the bill
on the chief ground that the Hospital
was a governmental department Of
the State OF Maryland, and as the
LEGISLATURE had not authorized it to
be sued, no bill OF complaint could be
lllCu against anu LhC 1O1hCNy "a
Mr.. and Mrs. Ely was by application
to the Legislature. The position OF
the hospital was that as the State Of
Maryland could not be sued, without
it's consent, neither could one Of its
governmental departments. The Court
decided against this position and said:
Upon principle there Is no more
reason why corporate agent should
be entitled to immunity than an in
dividual officer Of the State. A wrong
I is none the less wrong because com
mitted by corporation, and there Is
no reason why it should enjoy i'm
munity not secured to any other agent
of the State"
| Judge Thomas gave the Springfield
State Hospital twenty days in which
\ to answer the allegations contained
| in the bill Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ely; anC
the question of the issuing Of an In.
| junction will be determined by the
Court after the testimony Of botf
sides Is taken.
! The Springfield State Hospital was
engaged at the time of the filing o.
the bill, and is now at work putting
i'm a sewage system which il is stated
will remove any possible cause d
complaint.

HUERTA RESIGNS; CARBAJAL
CHIEF
Retiring Official Tells Congress HE is
Actuated by Highest Motives Of
Patriotism-New President Cheered.

Mexico City, July 15.-Victorfano
Huerta presented his resignation as
President OF the republic to the Cham
ber of Deputies this evening through
the Department OF Foreign Relations.
This resignation was referred to
committee after it had been read.
The Deputies and spectators who
filled the galleries shouted viva
Huertai"
The committee will report back TO
the Chamber and the question whether
the resignation will be accepted will
then be decided.
All the members of the Huerta Cab
met likewise rendered their resigna-
tons.
In the message presenting his resig-
nation General Huerta declared that
I'm taking this step he was actuated BY
highest motives OF patriotism and
complying with supreme duty to his
country.
Francisco Carbajal, the Foreign
Minister, was sworn in as provisional
President at 7.20 o'clock this evening
before the assembled Chamber OF
Deputies and the Senate.
Vera Cruz, July 1.-two special
trains conveying the families or Gen
eral Huerta, General Banquet, Fuen-
tes, Paredas and others from Mexico
City to the coast are reported to have
arrived at Orizaba at 3 o'clock this
nrLlning.
The Dutch cruiser Kortenaer, which
for several days had been in dock
here, left at 10 o'clock this morning.
Her destination was said to be Puerto,
Mexico. The belief that General
Huerta and his friends intend 10
board the Dutch warship was
strengthened by the fact that her CAP
tain went to the capital soon after
his arrival and that the cruiser sailed
without him.
Victoriano Huerta took oath as
provisional President OF Mexico Feb
ruary 10, 1913, the day after Francis
co i. Madero had been arrested at tho

IMPORTANT DECISION
JUDGE THOMAS DETERMINES THE MONEY
In CONTROVERSY WITH WIN. A.
MATTHIAS BELONGS TO The
WIN. R. FOWLER ESTATE.

Chief Judge William III. Thomas has
filed an opinion in the case OF William
A. Matthias against Charles 7. Fowler,
administrator Of William r.. Fowler,
deceased, determining that the money
in controversy belongs to the estate
Of William r. Fowler, deceased.
Mr.. William r. Fowler deposited in
his life time in an interest bearing
account in the Union National Bank
of Westminster the sum of $500;
and the account was made out in the
name OF William R. Fowler or Will
lam A Matthias, or either of them. II
At the time of the deposit Mr. William
r. Fowler expressed his desire that
at the time of his death the money
would 60 to Mr.. William "A. Matthias (;
and, during his life, drew out the in
terest but none of the principal. Mr..
! William R. Fowler kept the bank book
in his possession, and it was found
after his death among his private
papers by his administrator. Mr..
Charles T. Fowler as the administra-
tor claimed the money as belonging to
! the estate OF William r. Fowler, de-
ceased, and Mr.. William A. Matthias
\ likewise claimed the money. The
. jain PoAo IhC AhtO IhC NOuA
SO that the question could be there
determined as to the ownership.
The Court held that the evidence
was not sufficient to show either a
gift of the money to Mr.. Matthias, or a
trust for his benefit upon the death
of William R. Fowler. Under the de-
cision the money will be distributed
in the estate of William R. Fowler to
his brother and sisters and his other
next OF kin.
William A. Matthias and William r
Fowler, deceased, were close personal
friends and were devoted to each
other. Mr.. Matthias il now general
manager of the GUNNER Lumber Com
pany and resides at Durbin, Florida
at present. The father Of William A
Matthias was Dir. John Matthias, fol
many years prominent physician 81
this place, and now resident o.
Kansas City, Mo.
William A. Matthias was represented
by Charles o. Clemson and Guy w
Steele, attorneys, and the administra
tor of the estate of William r. Fowler
was represented by Messrs. Bond &
Parke
