$50, 900 FOR PLATE MATTER.

Manager McMillen of the Western
Newspaper Union was questioned as
to the cost OF the issue of the plate
matter. He said II would cost 81 for
every paper to which the plato was
sent, and would require an additional
cost for postage and circulation cards.
II was estimated that the total cost
OF the issue would be $4,000.

SUGAR TRANSPORTATION.
Statement Showing Why Water HauI'
Are Being Made.

Reports regarding the transport and
storage of sugar in transit through the
Chesapeake K Delaware canal, which
have been played up in some of the
Philadelphia papers, are pronounced by a
person connected with the Department
of Justice at Washington as almost entirely
erroneous as to basis and misleading in
effect.
So far as sugar. laden bargcs laying up
in the canal are concerned, the fact that
such boats have sometimes waited for the
remainder of the tow to ovcrtake them,
and also been detained IN the "broads" of
the canal so that boats going in opposite
direction could pass, afford the only
foundation for the surmise, the report says.
Regarding the statement that sugar had
been shipped back from southern points
to the reineries, this has only occurred in
a few cases, when the goods had been in
jured in transit and were returned to be
made again marketable by re-rcfining
OF course, the increased use Of the
canal is due to the congestion Of rail trans
portation; but so far as the spreading of
stories of sharp practices" is concerned,
this meets with the emphatic disapproval
of the officials concerned and may lead TO
the requirement of proofs from those
making the allegations

WASHINGTON COLLEGE
FACES CLOSING DANGER
Chcstcrtown Institution, l36 Years
Old. May End Career, With
out Help.

Washington College, At Chdsterecwn,
Md, established in 1882, one OF the Oldest
educational institutions IN this part OF
the country, il in danger OF going on the
rocks, and unless help IL gwen II the
college may not open for the next term.
A committee of Baltimore business
men, who have been appealed to by
committee fthc board of visitors and
governors 20 devise means Of keeping the
college going, will visit the institution TO,
morrow 10 inspect the college plant and
confer with the board. On the outcome
of this visit may depend the life or death
OF the institution. ms committee OF
Bal,imorcans is composed of former
Governor Goldsborough, Charles G. HON.
or. Van Lear Black, Edwin @. Baetier,
Charles L. Harley and George Weems
Williams. Albert :. Cook, the new State
surrrintcndent of education, has been
called in as an expert consultant and Will
accompany the committee.
The college Is operating under what
many consider an antiquated system.
IL is managed by board of visitors and
governors, which is self pcrpetuating.
The members serve for life. The charter of
the college provides that at least a quorum,
which IL seven, must live within six miles
of the college and IL Of the board must
always reside on the rns,eTh Shore vi
Maryland. The remaining members may
reside in other parts of the State. The
board is composed Of "a members.
Practically all the support of the college
Is derived from the State, but the State
has no voice in its management. Provision
was made in the last budget for an ap-
preparation for the next scholastic year of
$4,000, while it costs about 100000 a
year 10 run the college. The appropria-
ton available for next year will leave the
college with approximately $4,000 less
than enough 20 provide for it's operating
expenses Besides this, the college owes
IN the ne,ghborhood of $4,000 as a result
of having Insufficient revenues in the past,
which amount is represented by notes
held by the banks. In addition TO these
obligations the college owes the State
$40 900 loaned 20 help in the rebuilding
Of the main structure of the college group

Just what will be done at the meeting OF
the committee of Baltimore business men
when it visits the school tomorrow is not
known. No definite plans have yet been
made, but those interested in the college
are confident that unless this committee

colleges revenues and increasing them
promptly tho old institution is doomed.

which was burned some ycnn ago, and
for which tho State holds a mortgage.
The property Of the college would cost in
the neiRhborhocd Of $4OO, 900 to replace at
proscnt-day priccs, there being about six
acres in the school grounds and group OF
nine buildings upon these grounds.
vArrrp TO RAISE $4,000.
Some time ago the board of visiton
and governors proposed to spend $40, 200
in a campaign by which it was hoped to
raise $500, 900 as an endowment fund
for the college, but As the $4,000 would
have had to be borrowed the plan was
abandoned and it was decided TO make an
appeal to committee of Baltlmoreans
interested in education to help the board
TO devise scme means by which the college
could be continued for short time at
least. About three weeks ago committee
from the board went to Baltimore and
met the committee headed by Governor
Coldsborough and the whole financial
condition of the college was discussed.
Governor Ritchie was called into con-
sultation and he expressed the hope that
the college could be kept going for at
least two wears. He also said he would
give his moral support to any lfesaving
plan that might be devised by the COM
mittee. 1t has been suggested that the
college should be taken over and operated
by the State as part of the public school
system. but Governor Ritchie would not
commit himself on this point, saying that
the survey of the schools Of the State had
only begun, and he did not know what
would be the outcome of that survey.
II was made plain TO him, however, that
unless the State could provide more
money for the college it would go under
ultimately, even if it should be kept
running for the next two years by con-
tributions supplementing the States APP
preparation. No money can be expected
from the students. The college had so
students last year. OF these SO were
scholarship students, who were given
books tuition and board, and the re-
mainder received tuition free, but paid for
their board on the club plan. Any gradu-
ate Of high school in good standing can
get free tuition at Washington College.
ALUMNI pEcIdNE TO HRrr.
One of tho plans in contemplation for
raising the $40, 900 year in addition TO the
States appropriation, needed To keep the
college going, is to appeal TO the alumni
for contributions to bridge over the deficit
for the next two years. Some of the
alumni have been approached, but said
they would do nothing so long as the
board was organized on the present basis
