A Deserter From The Navy I

Thomas Evans, who says he is de-
serter from the United States Navy,
arrived in New York yesterday from
Liverpool aboard the White Star liner
Majestic as q stowaWay. He said that
he had deserted from the receiving
ship Hancock at the navy yard in
Brooklyn, N. T., last November; that
he had shipped large cargo of booze
in Sixth avenue, New York. where he
net q persuasive man named Smith
who offered him lots of money to go
to England and become professional
acrobat. Smith promised him berth
in the cabin of a crack liner. but in
stead shipped him as a cattleman.
Smith travelled in the cabin. When
they got to London Smith, Evans says,
suggested that the blue jacket should
do the heavy work Of cracking bank.
Evans then decided that he would re-
turn and report TO the navy yard at
Brooklyn and take his punishment.
He slowed away in the potato bin
aboard the Majestic. stayed there un-
til the liner had left Queenstown, and
then came ont and was set to work.
He was taken to Ellis island, N. T.
The authorities there look upon his
story with suspicion. Nobody came
from the New York navy yard to
claim him.

TO CONSULT Mr.. R.TIBBITTs
Athletes to Meet Next Tuesday
Evening at The Y. M.
c. A. Hall.

The Annapolis Athletic Association
has invited Mr.. George +. Tibbitts,
of the Baltimore z. NJ. @. A. to meet
them next Tuesday evening at the
Y. M. Q. 4. Hall in this city. Mr..
Tibbitts has agreed to come, and a
joint meeting of the local branch of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion and the Athletic Association will
be held next Tuesday night.
The Athletic Association committee
on coalition with the Young Men S
Christian Association is somewhat i'm
pressed with the views of the latter as
expressed at a recent committee meet
ing, and it is thought q union of the
two organizations viii be effected.
President Hopkins, of the Young
Mems Christian Association. and Pres
ident Slaughter, of the Athletic Asso-
citation, argeed to invite Mr.. Tibbitts
here next Tuesday to talk over mat
tiers and the outlook is encouraging.
There seems to be some little hitch
about the coalition of the associations
the members of the Athletic Asso-
citation are not all church members.
In other cities the Young Men s
Christian Association aims to take in
young men, and not exclusively Chris
tian young men. It is hoped the same
may be done here and that ali young
men may be identified with the Young
Mems Christian Association and re-
ceive it benefits.

SAY THEY DON'T wANTIr
The Business Mems Associa- =
ton Opposed to Paid Fire
Department.

Strong opposition to the efforts OF
Councilman Williams to have the fire
department made a paid institution
developed at the meeting of the Busi-
ness Mems Association last evening.
That the idea OF taking the matter out
of the hands of the volunteer aremen
who have worked so hard to build up
the organization was repugnant to the
members of the association was plainly
apparent
The standing fire committee was in
structed TO appear at the next meeting
of the Council and oppose any efforts
which might be made to have q fire
department. OF paid employees. The
same committee was also instructed to
urge upon the members OF the COun-
Gil the need of the department for the
ladders, nozzles and trusks asked for
by the fire department.
Mrs w. Thomas Kemp, representing
the proposed apart tment house appeared
before the association and set forth
what it was intended to do by those
who are endeavoring to build the
apartment house in this city. He de-
scribed at great length the manner Of
building which it was intended TO
erect, the number OF families it would
accommodate and the manner in which
subscriptions would be secured.
Messrs. Frank A. Munroe and II.
Eugene Wathen spoke in behalfso the
association and made extended adj
dresses favoring the erection of the
building. 1t was stated that some
blocks Of stock are still for sale and
would be disposed Of to those who are
interested in the project.

Telegraph Operators Largely Respons-
ible for Their Spread.

ibiC UCiT 0PICdd.
Persons who wonder at the rapidly
with which a popular expression be-
comes circulated through the country
generally ascribe the spreading of the
phrase to the actors, but long before
the actors begin to use the expression
1t has been flashed all over the coun-
try on the telegraph wires.
Chatting over the wire is forbidden,
but there comes a slack moment now
and then when the operator swaps a
story with man hundreds of miles
away, and story told in New York
to-day may reach San Francisco by
Wednesday.
1t frequently happens that an espe-
cially good story or rhyme is typewrit-
ten and passed around the room, and
in turn this is sent out over half a
hundred wires running to all points of
the compass.
When the Western Union race bu-
reau was still in existence the wires
from this room spread all over the
country, direct wires running into the
San Francisco poolrooms and giving
the results of the races across the bay
more quickly than the result could be
telephoned by man at the track.
In the early hours the work was
light and the poolroom operators al
ways had lot of new stories to tell
the frequenters of the room, who
promptly spread them among their
IL
jokes on Monday on one coast were
laughed at on the other coast the next
afternoon.

Worse than alarm of fire at night is the

manner as Hoch is thought to be the
"Bluebeard" 1t is believed that more
wives will be heard from in each of
these cities as the picture of Hoch is
more widely circulated.
Hoch's method with such of his
wives as he did not find 1t necessary
70 otherwise dispose of is illustrated
in the case of Mrs Anna Schmidt Hen
erickson Hoch one of the women he
deserted. He married this woman in
Hammond, Ind, in 1908, and took her
to live at Ill Watt street. Two days
later he fled with $500 she had saved.
THE day after the marriage" Mrs.
Hendrickson told Inspector Ship
pey, who is in charge of the Hoch case,
my husband told me he was heir to
an estate in Germany. A few hours
later he hurried in from downtown
with a fake cablegram which read:
Father is dead. Your brother, Will

him from his fathers estate and
