Miteh- ell * of the Maryland General Assembly, has planned some sweeping reforms to introduce in the present session of the legis- lature. He wants Maryland to lead in the fight to reform the method of holding caucuses’ in the various states. Instead of waiting until the eve of the legis- lative meeting to select presid- ing officers for the ensuing ses- sion, he wants a caucus held at an earlier period, so that these officers may be chosen and such arrangement for the selection of committees be made as will en- able the legislature to get down to work immediately upon its opening.

AT OTTAWA POMP AND SPLENDOR PARLIAMENT OPENING House of Commons the Scene of Magnificence—Nothing of Naval Bill Special to The Daily News) Ottawa, Jan. 16.—With all the heraldry, pomp and magnificent ceremony usually associated with the opening of parliament, the legislative body of Canada as- sembled today at the parliament buildings to transact the busi- ness of the nation. For nearly two hours previous to the open- ing men and women stood in the corridors and in the chilling cold outside in order to be in time to Hil! and stopped at the main en- trance. The Governor-General’s Foot Guards, which form the guard of honor, came to salute as H. R. H. stepped from his motor. The guns posted on Na- pean Point roared out a royal salute. The Duke of Connaught read the speech from the throne, which made no reference to the naval bill, It is expected the speech from the throne will be taken up Mon- day al 3 o'clock. Appeared in Police Court This Morning Charged With a Criminal Offence A case under the new criminal code was aired in police court this morning. The charge was for fraudulently obtaining meals and board at an hotel. Under the revision which came into force last September, a man who mis- represents himself to get credit for meals or board is liable to a fine of $100 or three months in jail. Last July a man named Ferguson beat the Savoy Hotel out of a lodging bill. He left town but recently returned, and when discovered the charge was laid. Ferguson admitted the debt, but as it was incurred be- fore the new act came into force the charge would not hold. The police, however, have an- other charge of a similar char- acter pending which is dated since the revision of the code. Ferguson asked to be tet out and promised to pay all bills within 24 hours. He is to report at 10 o’clock tomorrow. Northbound The Spokane took the follow- ing passangers north last night: A. J. Wilde, N. Beauregard, Maud Ellis, Edith Milne, H, B. Jobe, C. Gearing, J. T.
