BAL LTIMORE HOWLS
AGAINST COUNTY.
City Puts 1t up To" Governor
To Help Get Possession OF
Registration Data.
HAS NO ROYAL ROAD.
Annexation Bill Provisions Seem
Hard For The Municipality
To Enforce Against
County At Once.

Finding that there is no Royal Road
TO Annexation, even after they man
aged to get a bill through both
Houses of the General Assembly and
have Governor Harrington sign it,
Baltimore City is now bowling Justify
that if the officials of Baltimore and
Anne Arundel Counties don't stop
interfering" an appeal is going 10 be
made to Governor Harrington. The
latest snag the city has struck has to
! do with the registration of voters.
IAN effort will be made to secure n
uniform registration this fall, and if
the Governor will see TO il that the
law is obeyed there should be no fur
ther trouble. 1t is now up to Gov
ernor Harrington" says the Baltimore
American in this connection this
morning.
Refusal of the county authorities to
furnish any information which would
enable the city to put into effect the
provisions in the annexation act may
necessitate executive interference.
The law provides that when the new
registration of voters is taken this
fall those living within the territory
taken over by the city shall be en-
rolled and included in the number OF
those registered in Baltimore City.
There is a saving provision attached
which says that if for any reason this
could not be done i'm the fall then it
may be postponed until next spring,
when the supplementary registration
in the city takes place.
The Supervisors of Election want to
comply with the law, and acting un-
der their instructions Chief Clerk
Hubert has been endeavoring TO OBJ
tain from the county officials their
precinct boundaries and the voting
population i'm each, the purpose being
to utilize this information in dividing
up the new wards into precincts Pre-
sumably in compliance with instruc-
tions sisued by the county politicians
who want to cause all possible trou-
BILE, the election officials refuse access
to their lists.
The supervisors may determine TO
provide special registration days for
the annexed voters, but this would
entail an expense to the city that
would mount into the thousands of
dollars.

HOUR MORE DAYLIGHT
SAME TO MIDDIES

The daylight order has not mater
tally affected the routine of the Naval
Acadmey The clocks were moved up
an hour at the appointed time and the
routine went on exactly the same as
usual The officers find no difficulty
in the execution of the law and the
midshipmen body, as a rule, like it be-
cause it gives them one hour more of
daylight with the pleasing fiction add
ed with some that they are gaining a
new hour in the day. Among the en-
ployees in the Academy opinions diff
fer. The most OF them like it, and
others prefer the former days.

CLERGY INTERESTED
IN CANDIDATES

The ministers of Annapolis have or
ganized to look after the spiritual in
terests of candidates for admission
to the Academy, who come to the city
to attend the naval preparatory
schools here. Each school is to be
visited and the names and denomina-
tions of candidates attending them Sc
cured and the effort will be made to
have these young men attend the
churches of the denominations in
which they were raised. Between five
and seven hundred candidates were
repairing for the April examination
just completed. and they need special
attention since they are at Annapolis
without parental control.

TAXPAYERS ARE
WARNED OF FRAUD.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Men posing as Income tax inspec-
tors" recently have solicited business
funds and obtained information which
later was communicated to business
rivals, according TO reports TO the In
ternal Revenue Bureau.
These reports prompted Revenue
Commissioner Roper to issue warn
ing to taxpayers to make certain that
the self-styled income tax inspectors
are really revenue agents. Genuine
officers, it was explained, carry iden-
tification cards.

Isaacs after the indictment had been
brought in against him yesterday was
just before Court adjourned in the
afternoon arraigned before Judge Rob
ert Moss. Asked whether he plead
guilty or not guilty, the negro start
ed a somewhat rambling admission of
the killing which he was evidently
going on to qualify and deny any fur
ther crime, when Judge Moss, because
of the seriousness of the crime, and
its capital punishment penalty direct
ed a plea of not guilty to be entered
pending consultation by the negro
with counsel. AS Isaacs had not en-
gagged a lawyer the Court appointed
Messrs James NJ. Munroe and w. Hal
lam Claude to defend him during the
trial
Following their examination of wit
nesses the Grand Jury has brought in
presentment against Thomas Pin
dell, the First District negro accused
of the murder of his half-brother

inimitable story of a little bootblack
who was overawed by the brilliant,
gaudy attire of the Negro dandy whose
shoes he had just shined. The little
gamin said, Excuse me, boss, but l
wants to ak you a question. Is you
anybody in particular" And then,
DR.. Healing, rising from his chair to
his full stature, made the last stirring
public appeal of his life to his people,
for them always to try to be some
body in particular" In a peroration
that was as dramatic as it was inspir-
ing and impressive, he told how easy
and how important it is for everybody
to be somebody in particular" by
being intelligent, industrious, frugal,
patriotic, Christian citizens. Peace be
to his ashes. He leaves a faithful,
loving, devoted wife and five children,
Goldie, Frances, Carolyn, Cecilia and
Hightower, Jr., and an innumerable
host of admiring friends to mourn his
departure.
His life is carved in imperishable
granite, and indelibly written on the
hearts of men.
Though gone, he will new be for
gotten. And children yet to be born
will rise to call him blessed.
Truly was he an ideal college presi-
dent whose life is an ~inspirational
monument to the youth who came un-
der his tutelage, and to all who were
so fortunate as to be intimately asso-
ciated with him.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent
tread;
He bears our best loved ones away; i
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our f~airest, sweetest
flowers;
T~ransplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and
strife;
Sings now an everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the %boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead
