EDUCATION BOARD
HEARS COMPI ANTS
Scholars Appear TO Override
Discipline Of Instructor At
Mayo School
CONFLICT AT STANTON

The Board of Education met yester-
ers present.
/ 4 number OF the patrons of the Mayo
school appeared for a hearing on the
question of Mr. Weber's ability to dis
cipline the school The evidence de-
veloped the fact that the patrons Of
the Mayo school have the highest re-
gard for Mr.. Weller as man ana a
teacher, but that on several occasions
the larger boys had taken advantage
of Mr.. Webers kindly nature and had
violated the rules of good discipline.
The Board referred the matter to
the Superintendent with recommenda-
tions to instruct Mr.. Weber on these
matters and assist him as far as pos
sill lie in overcoming this complaint.
The Board then called the case of
Il. Dolores Preston, former principal
OF the Stanton school in Annapolis
Specific charges by George w. b. Ov-
erton, colored supervisor were pre-
sented in writing. After hearing the
charges. which consisted mainly of
lack of administrative ability, the
Board concluded:
Il. That there was no doubt that
OyertOn had made several serious mis-
takes, chiefly in agitating matters of
minor Importance.
''2. That there existed a personal
feeling between Overton and Preston
that was detrimental to the success of
the school
''3. That Overton was not without
fault in that he had undoubtedly
usurped some of Preston's authority
as principal of the school,"
Since both men have been informed
time and time again by the Superin-
tendent that harmony was necessary
to the welfare of the school and since
neither has shown real disposition to
harmonize with the other, the Board
decided to confirm the action taken at
a former meeting to remove Preston
as principal. In the future the col
ored supervisor shall confine his ae-
tivities to improving the quality of in
struction in the class room, leaving
the administration problems largely
to the principal of the school.

WOODWARD LEADS
IN OFFICIAL VOTE
CAST IN PRIMARY
Candidate For Clerk OF Circuit
Court Received 1901, Can
vass Shows
OTHERS RAN WAY AHEAD

The official canvass of the vote cast
in the Democratic primary election OF
Monday last was completed late yes
terday afternoon and ii confirms. as
indicated in the Capital on Wednes-
day. the list of candidates of the res
pective factions, who were successful
in the fight.
As expected. there was of course,
some slight variance in the figures of
the several candidates compared to
the unofficial poll hitherto published.
owing to The fact that the detailed re-
suit from the first precinct of the
Fourth district were not known until
the official count got under way. The
count of these. therefore, raised the fig
ures of each of the candidates to some
was determined thereby was that as 10
who was nominated as the seventh
candidate for the Board of County
Commissioners. As told in yester-
days issue of the Capital three men
were in the running based upon the
of the Third district: C. Milton Duvall.
Second district, and Joseph NJ Will
kerson, of the Fifth district, and the
final tabulation shows Wilkerson to
be the winner over Disney by the
small margin of two votes. with Du-
vail, only 13 votes behind Wilkerson.
But in view of the situation that de-
veloped in connection with the count
of the vote in the first precinct of the
Third district, that is, the election Of
flcials declining to record the votes on
SO ballots, because OF voting for too
many candidates, 1t is understood that
Mr.. Disney will petition the Board OF
Election Supervisors to have these
ballots counted Mr.. Disney believes
that the count OF these will show that
he has been duly nominated.
AS hitherto referred to, the returns
show that two candidates for commits
sioners have been nominated from the
Second district. and two from the
First district. These are Henry B.
Myers and st. George Barber, from
the Second, and r. Lee Hardesty and
r. Wilson Carr, from the First. So
the situation as it stands at present
means that neither the Third or Four
tn districts has a resident candidate
in the field for the November election.
A study of how the vote ran affords
considerable interest. 1t develops in
the first place that William N. Wood
ward, for Clerk of the Circuit Court,
led the field of candidates in total poll.
His vote is 1.601, as compared to 1856
for A. Theodore Brady, for Senator,
who was listed as high man of the
whole ticket based upon the early re-
turns. Maynard Carr, for Judge of the
Orphans Court, was third high man

In the last "a hours there have been
suggestions of compromise, beginning
with the statement that IL allowed to
combine with the American Feredra-

never be called out on strike. Labor
leaders have not said they would make
further concessions At the same time
influential persons have urged that the
Governor refuse TO deal with the strik-

thunderstorm passed over the city and
county yesterday afternoon shortly af-
ter six O'Clock. The first storm was
quickly followed by the second. of

cooling the atmosphere which was de.
lightful after midnight and today

Primate Is Impressed

Many things have impressed Card
inal Mercier since his arrival in Am
erica, but two things, aside from hos
pitality, continually occupy his
thoughts. One is the speed with which
everything, especially travel, is ac-
complished here, and the other is .he
influence of the press.
OF the former he spoke in puzzled
manner on Wednesday. OF the latter.
he took advantage yesterday during
his audience to correspondents at the
archiepiscopal residence, in Baltimore,
by making an emotional appeal tnat
America be acquainted with the dire
need I'm his country of machinery and
raw material so that his people may
be spared, now that arbitrament has
been realized, the stigma OF accepting
aims.
Belgium he said, is rapidly habilita-
ting itself so far as its limited resour-
ces and imports will permit. But
there is not sufficient ingress of ma
terials to make possible, first of ALL
the re-establishment of the old, and
creation of new industrial and techno-
logical schools.
The Primate insisted on conveying
of other objects. because, he said, he
felt it his personal duty to speak in
behalf OF his people.
