Judge Brashears had been slightly
indisposed for the past week, but his
death was entirely unexpected, and
announcement of it was a decided
shock to his friends A week ago
Judge Brashears suffered an attack
of intermittent malaria. His condi-
tion was not regarded as serious, al
though he decided to remain at his
home in order to fully recuperate.
He was visited yesterday morning by
his attending physician, Dr. Washing
ton G.. Claude, and apparently was all
right and was told by the physician
that he would be able to resume his
usual duties within few days. About
noon. however, according to Mrs.
Brashears, who has been constant in
her attendance upon him. he seemed
to suffer a sinking spell. He COM
planned of feeling short of breath and
repeatedly called for air. Mrs.
Brashears and others about the house
kept constantly tanning him, but he
seemed to be gasping and in agony.
Later he suffered a convulsion. In
the meantime, DIR. Claude was sum-
moned to the house, but the Judge
seemed to sink rapidly and he ex-
pired shortly before o'clock.
Judge Brashears was a native of
the First District of Anne Arundel
county His public career began
nearly 40 years ago, when he took up
the study of law while acting as
I clerk in the Office of his father, who
was then Register of Wills of the
county. A few years later he was
admitted to the bar and entered upon
the practice of law here in the city.
His first position of prominence was
that of member of the House of Dele
gates. He was elected for three con-
secutve terms, serving at the sessions
of 1890, 1892 and 1894. Subsequently
he was elected States Attorney and
served the full term of four years.
He served in the State Senate in
1906 and 1908, and it was during the
early part of the administration of the
late Governor Austin L. Crothers that
he was appointed to the Bench to
succeed the late Judge James Revell,
and at the general election in 1909
he was elected for the full term of Is
years

The slate had been almost entirely
agreed upon in advance, as district
committees we're named at a meeting

stances. but this soon was smoothed
over. and the Progressive leaders feel
they have nominated the strongest
ticket possible.
Featuring the proceedings was the
presence of Isaac S. Nutwell. long the
leader of the Eighth District, with his
icutenants. Mr. Nutwell, as has pre-
yiously been stated in The Capital, has
drifted away from the camp of DR.

and If surface indications count for
anything. il looks as though merry
fight will be had in the primaries.

A social session" was then held
with the treat of delicious fruit punch
cool and refreshing, with an abund-
ance OF small cakes of all kinds, was
served the firemen by the ladies who
had provided this for them, after
which, Acting Mayor Graham passed
them cigars. Refreshments were al
so served all present, and hospitality
was dispensed with a generous hand.
Giving a demonstration of their
chemical apparatus was a fitting
finale of the pleasant occasion. Ii
was suggested that the Arundel-on-
the-Bay residents, although none are
from Missouri, be shown" what
chemicals can do and will do in put
ting out flames. A quantity of wood
was gathered piled up and set on fire
The flames threatened the Civic
League Hall as a strong wind was
blowing that way. Two of the fire
men donned rubber boots and coats,
attached hose to the chemical tank,
and in the twinkling of an eye the
great confiagration" was reduced to
smoke and ashes The applause was
as deafening as the demonstration
was satisfactory. II was the parting
expression of everybody, as good
nights were said, that the Water
Witch can and will give effective
service as volunteer fremen should
necessity require at Arundel-on-the-
Bay
Those who contributed and the
amount of contributions to the Arun-
del-on-the-Bay fund for the Water

IS NEWEST Plan

To capture goats with steel traps is
the latest proposal received for getting
rid Of them on the island Of Kahoo-
lave.
This unique method was suggested
Friday morning by William Gillies to
the board of commissioners Of agricuI-
ture and forestry. Gillies informed
the board that he thought he could
make money by killing the goats and
selling their skids. meat and bones II
the board woc'| permit him to go
there. When Led how he planned
to capture the goats he said he pro
posed placing the traps in the trails.
It is estimated that there is about
700 goats on the island and for years
the board has endeavored to extermin.
ate them as they ruin the trees and
bushes and nothing can be done to
reforest the island. as planned by the
board, untn all the goats are killed.
The board told Gillies that It would
take the matter under consideration
and let him know its decision at a
later date.
