OBJECTION TO TOO MUCH EAST"

CONTEST FOR SPEAKER.
OTHER PLACES WEST WANTS
BY EDWARD B. CLARK

WashingtOn.-Gossip is concerning
fself with the coming Republican
caucus for high places in the house of
representatives. Naturally the chief
interest is in the Republican caucus,
because that party is dominant in the
house and the high places are to be its
possessions by the right of majority
rule.
Apparently there is to be som oppo-
sltion TO the reelection of Frederick
Ii. Gillett as speaker of the house of
the next congress. The word has it
that too much Massachusetts will be
one of the planks In the platform of
opposition to the reelection of the Bay
state representative.
1t also is limited in places that too
much East will be one of the planks
of the platform In opposition t. Mich
olas Longworth as Republican leader,
Notwithstanding the fact that MI.
Longworth Is from Cincinnati. Some
of h Republican members in opposi-
ton intimate hat Mr.. Longworth
thinks too much like the East
William J. Graham. Republican of
Illinois, is the man who will be pitted
by his friends against Mr.. Longworth
for the post of leadership. Mr.. Ora
ham Is able and has made considerable
of a record for himself in congress, but
1t is said there are progressives and
progressive-radicals who think that he
Is a little too conservative to qualify
for a representative position as one
of their Spokesman. However, he is a
Westerner as the geography of politics
has 1t, and there is likely t. be a strug-
gle with considerable interest at

AND BRIDE
GROW MORE ESTRANGED

The honeymoon of William and
Hermine has at last come to an END,
in the opinion Of the inhabitants o.
Doom. The pleasant walks arm in
arm along the solitary roads Of the
village, under the protection of a
Captain Of the Dutch gendarmerie,
ended abruptly several days ago. The
disappearance Of the couple from the
village streets gave rise to numerous
rumors to the effect that the former
Emperor was seriously ill, or that an
attempt had been made upon his life.
but investigation has failed to show
any authority for either statement.
For about three weeks it has been
reported that deep discord existed be-
tween the couple. One reason assign
ed was that William bore with diff
Guilty the dictatorial tone of his wife,
who insisted that at the castle every
one, not including her husband,
should act and conduct himself ac-
cording to her ideas. Hence Hermlne
has been in constant hot water, for
her attitude was resented. Neverthe-
less, both Hermine and her daughter
were present on the occasion of Will
Jams anniversary.
: In spite of the evident tension, it is
not believed that rupture is immi-
nent. Hermine's children are still liv-
ing with their old nurse in the build
ing at the entrance to the park, and
Hermine occupies her apartment in
the chateau not far from that of her
husband.
This fact, however, seems to be es-
tablished, since his marriage William
has become thinner and appears much
cider. All who have seen him during
the past few days remark how i'll he
is looking and how feebly he walks.

ALCOHOL SLOWS DOWN WORKING
EFFICIENCY OF AVERAGE PERSON

not so much with abstract morality
as with national efficiency and public
sanitation it will do much to nullify
the effect Of the largely irrelevant
cry, "You can't make people moral
by legislation" The existing laws a.
gainst splitting on the floor in public
places are fairly well observed in
spite of their obvious infringement of
personal liberty" When people are
as well informed as to the undesirable
effects Of moderate doses of" alcohol
as they now are as to the undesirable
pathogenic bacteria they will have
more respect for the Eighteenth A
mendment and the legislation for it's
enforcement.
Bishop Thomas F. Gailor has been
quoted as saying that alcohol exists
naturally in great variety of fruits
and that therefore "a gift of God"
If the good Bishop were as familiar
with his chemistry as he doubtless is
with his Scriptures he would know
that alcohol exists in nature only as
one of the products of decomposition
and decay. The bacilli causing tuber-
culosis also exists in nature. Up to
a period of the worlds history that is
within the memory Of persons now
middle-aged, men took these disease
germs into their systems unwittingly
and unafraid. The educated do so no
ionger-if they can avoid it! The
world moves, and science, sanitation
and law moves Also"

ball team played it's last game of the
season in Salisbury last Friday night.
Against them Salisbury had picked a
team from all the towns on the
Shore which had been playing basket
ball during the winter months.
The College boys were easily the
masters Of the situation. They were.
however, not up to their usual form,
because of the fact that they had
broken training at the close Of the
Maryland college season, and had
been indulging in some celebrating in
the farm of banquets, dances, etc.
AS long as the home team were able
to stand the pace set them by the
Cnestertown ladss the game was fair
~ interesting; but soon the speedy
ruint from Washington began to
draw away, and the score at the close
ef the game was SO to 10; the first
half seeing the champions in the
lead by the score of 10 to 9. The
visitors were somewhat handicapped
IN their shooting by the small size of
the backboards, they not being able
to get their cardomes working right.
There was large crowd present,
who cheered Justify for the. picked
team to win, but the college boys
scored first. and We're never headed.
They did not seem to exert them
selves to any great degree, but in the
second half they piled up points with
great rapidity.
Fiore, the great guard of the Wash
ington team, was unlucky enough to
fall face downward and break his
nose. Under no circumstances can
such an accident be called fortunate,
but, if he had met with such luck in
the middle of the season, Chester
town might not have turned out a
championship team-a team calculat-
ed to give any team in the East a
tussle to win from them.
Before the game a banquet was
served in the Peninsula Hotel res
taurant to the Washington College
Alumni. Between rs and 100 were
present at this function. The Wash
ington team will lose only one man
by graduation this year - Gordy.
Coach KILLER has been coaching man
for his place all season, and if the
other four return in the fall the team
will not be materially weakened.

The League of Women Voters,
which has started campaign for bet
ter school conditions in Hagerstown,
fired their opening gun Sunday when
a committee was appointed to recruit
members from the various organiza-
lions Of women in the city for the
purpose of putting a selected man on
the Board Of Education. A vacancy
on the board will occur in May, and
will be filled, if the women can do it,
by man especially fitted for the
purpose of trying to remedy condi-
tons in some Of the city and county
schools, described by the league men,
bers as being terrible"
Petitions will be circulated, and J.

named by Mrs. George D. Crawford,
chairman Of the league, will confer
with the heads or executive boards of
other women's organizations and Sc
lect their appointee for the Board Of
GuuCdtloAs IetIt1oAS dAu uepuLdtAoHS
will be sent to Governor Richie, if
necessary, to secure the appointment.
It is stated that the league is not anx-
ious to put woman on the board at
this time.
"The county is not ready for that
yet" said Miss Mary L. Titcomb,
but the business of the next two years
will be to secure better housing for
the pupils" The machinery will be
set in motion Immediately to secure
better educational facilities both in

Simon L. Downey, a prominent far
mer of near Hagerstown and breed
er of Guernsey cattle, was recently
attacked and gored by a young bull
that he purchased from a Charles
county breeder.
Mr.. Downey was driving the bull
to watering place when it suddenly
turned and rushed upon him, striking
him in the abdomen and hurting him
into the air. Harry Cline, a farm
hand, rescued Mr.. Downey, who has a
badly sprained knee and ankle, cuts
and decorations. Several days ago the
bull attacked Mr.. Downey's son, Milo
Downey, who was rescued by Cline.
Young Downey received a few injur-
les. The bull was sold to a butcher
and killed shortly after the attack
upon Mr.. Downey.

Although closely guarded for sever
al weeks, it is learned that plans are
rapidly maturing for the erection of
a million dollar hotel on the south
east corner of the public square in
Hagerstown. Property on the pro-
posed site, it is stated has either
been purchased or is held under op-
lions by the promoters of the scheme
and a full announcement of the pro-
ject is expected to be made soon.
The hotel, it is understood, is to be
enc of a chain of hotels in the East
and Middle West, and st. Louis finan-
ciers are said to be back of the plan.
Local capital will, it is stated ,also be
interested in the building to the a.
mount Of $250,000 or 100000. OPP
tions have been secured on all of the
properties on Washington street, the
square and on South Potomac street
as far as the Colonial Theater, it is
reported.
The preliminary plans for the hotel
are understood to be in course of
preparation, the building to be SINH
lar to the Francis Scott Key Hotel
recently built in Frederick which cost
100000. According to advance in
formation Hagerstown's new hosiery
will eclipse the Frederick hotel in
size, appearance and appointments.
