NO TAX EXEMPTION.
Sale OF The c. & o. Canal to Be
Made Tomorrow.

Attorney General William S. Bryan,
Jr., called upon Governor Warfield
yesterday at the latter's Office and
handed to him his written opinion
that the states interests in the Chesa-
peake 81 Ohio Canal would not convey
TO the new owner the tax exemption
privilege contained i'm the cfIarter of
the canal.
Tne question of the sale of the
states interests in the waterway will
be taken up again at the meeting of
the Board of Public Works in this city
tomorrow. The sale was deferred last
week because of the point made by
State Treasurer Murray Vandiver that
the sale of the states interests would
lodge in the purchaser the tax exemp-
tion of the canal charter The question
raised by Mr.. Vandiver was referred
TO the Attorney General, who has IN
effect decided that the point is not
we'll taken. 1t looks, therefore, as
though at the meeting of the Board
of Public Works tomorrow there will
be sale of the states interest in
equity to the Western Maryland Rail-
road Company. whose bid is $l55, 600.
Rumors are still rife that the Wes-
tern Maryland and Baltimore q Ohio
Railroad Companies have practically
agreed to stand together in negotia-
tions for the states interests, and if
acquired by the Western Maryland
Railroad that company will control
that section of the waterway between
Hancock and Cumberland, while the
Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad will take
unto itself that part of the canal be-
tween Hancock and Georgetown.

Women Master MANNERS

Miss Jane Morgan, of philadelphia,
mas passed ah exAmimtfon before The
United States Steam Vessel Inspectors.
and they have granted her q master
mariners certificate, good for ssall
oceans. = To get such a certificates,
the applicant must have sailed as a
navigating officer on an ocean or
coastwise vessel. Miss Morgan has
had such experience on her father 4
yacht. Her certificate as master
mariner attests her fitness TO take COM
mand of any vessel. According to
Captain Patterson, of the New York
Nautical College, there are only five
female master mariners in the world,
besides Miss Morgan. One of these
makes her living as a pilot on the
Mississippi, another as a pilot on the
Ohio. Many yachtswomen are expert
navigators. On water or on land,
women are showing themselves the
equals of man.-'' With The Process

School Libraries

Great rivalry is being displayed
among the teachers of the county, in
the matter of building up.a library for
the schools in which they teach. Ac-
cording to the school laws every teach
or who raises sum, of at least $40,
will be given by the school board an
amount equal what she secures for the
purpose Of establishing a library in
the school. In some of the schools as
much as $50 have been secured through
the efforts of teachers and pupils.
Owing to the friendly rivalry among
the teachers they have not certified as
to the amounts already collected and
they will probably refrain from doing
so as long as there is an opportunity
of getting more money

ON TIP TOE Of EXPECTANCY
CHRISTMAS PURCHASERS
OUT IN FORCE.
Slack Of Work About The Town
Will Cot Down Purchases
Considerably.

On street. in store, in smiling face
and eager look is seen the near ap-
proach of Christmas day. The spirit
is abroad and the celebration of the
Natal day is being prepared for in
much the same manner as on other
years.
In Annapolis, where the nature of
employment makes an income more of
q steady and unhuctuating commodity
than in large manufacturing oenters
the purchases are always made in a
longer period than in other cities.
There will be the usual belated pur-
chasers on Saturday night as in years
gone by, but the bulk of them will be
completed earlier in the week. The
stores are carrying an unusually large
stock this year and the decorations
displayed are Of the most pleasing
nature.
TOYS for children are more numerous
than ever before and present an in
ventive genius, which has carried the
manufacture out of Germany and into
this country. Down at the market
house Christmas green's are displayed
in lavish profusion. Trees of all sizes
and many kinds are TO be seen and
holly and mistletoe in wreaths and
crowns are on many stalls. The pres
ence of the snow on the ground seems
TO stimulate the sale of Christmas
greens and few will be the houses this
year where Christmas tree is not
seen. Purchases, of all sorts, how
ever, will not amount to as much in
the aggregate as was to be expected,
Judging by the conditions of other
years. Many causes are responsible
for this condition. Chief among these
is the lack of work at the Naval Acad-
emy, which has contributed largely in
other years to the money expended for
Christmas goods.
Other years the winter has been
more open, permitting of out-of-door
employment at trades. With the set
tling down of winter. however, men
have lost their employment, which
will have considerable effect on the
amount of money to spend. The oys-
ter industry has also been badly ham,
pered by the bad weather, which re-
moves large quantity of money from
the natural channels of trade. A
slight break this week, however, has
created an opening in the oyster bust
ness and it is within the range of pos
sibilities that the. loss can be recouped
TO degree sufficient to overcome a
great slump in Christmas purchases.

MANY CONTRACTS LET.
Much County Work Will Be

A considerable portion of the time
of the meeting of the County Com
missioners was consumed yesterday in

ber of bidders.
All of the bids for hauling shells tC

TAXPAYERS WILL ORGANIZE.

Would Adopt Some Means of Cot

At meeting held in the MARYLAND
Hotel this morning steps were taken
looking TO the formation of an orsani.
cation TO be known as the Taxpavers

The body will have forRits existence
an effort Co cut down the county tax
rate and divert the amounts now being
expended, in directions which will be
according To those forming the organi.
eaton, along lines of greatest beneiit to
residents of the county.
Those who are the prime movers in
the matter are rather reticent as To
what means they will adopt in deal

that plans have been formulated look.
ing to a Successful campaign of the
members. Some of the largest tax
payers of the county were at the Hotel
Maryland among them being man
who pays nearly one thousand dollars
in taxes. He spoke against the high
tax rate and the large expense to
which the taxpayers are yearly put.
and stated that something very radical
should be done.
For some time there has been quietly
conducted a search of the tax books of
the county. A list has been formed
containing the names.of all taxpayers
of the county. Those who paw a n
amount over a stipulated sum will be
asked TO become members of the organ
ization, although all taxpayers will
be given an opportunity of coming in
In the course of few days notices
will be sent out TO those taxpayers and
they will be asked to attend a meet
ing at which the final steps for the
formation of the body will be taken.
1t is very probable that an energetic
campaign of a rather startling nature
will be inaugurated in the very near
future.
Where the first meeting will be held
could not be learned, as those most in
terested did not care to discuss the
matter until such time as plans were
well under way for the organization of
the association. 1t was learned. how
ever, that efforts will be made to have
the County Commissioners do what
they can in the matter of using the tax
levy. II no change can be made by
the Commissioners. the association will
seek the aid of the Legislature in the
matter.

OYSTER BOATS RUSHING
The Better Weather Conditions
Permit of Clustering

With the coming and going of oys-
ter boats there was considerable more
activity than usual about the docks
and harbor this morning. More oys-
ter boats were out this morning than
have been any day during the past two
weeks.
Both dredgers and tongers left early
in the morning and made good time
for many were back long before noon.
There was large number of "buy''
boats in harbor and they picked up
all the oysters offered them. Such is
the scarcity of oysters in the Balti-
more market that any price can be
secured for good stock Some of the
buy boats have been as far south
as the Capes, but reported very poor
business.
In the local market shucked oysters
are selling at 80 and 30 cents per
quart There is plenty of good fish
in market, but there is very little call
for them, probably due TO the ap-
proaohing Christmas season.
