LIEUT.. GARDENERS CASE
Assistant Secretary Darling 5
Endorsement of The
Record.

Ia executing that portion of the sen
fence calling for public reprimand
imposed by court martial in the case
Of Second Lieutenant Frederick A.
Gardener, of the Marine Corps, con
victed of intoXication and disorderly
conduct at the masquerade ball at the
Naval Academy, Assistant Secretary
Darling, of the Navy Department, in
dOrsed the record of the case as fol-
lows:
"rhe sentence has this day been ap-
proved but in view Of the unanimous
recommendation Of the court to Glenn
ency, made in consideration of the
youth and inexperience of Second
Lieutenant Gardener and of the ex-
ceptional circumstances under which
the offenses were committed, that part
of the sentence involving loss of num-
bers in your grade has been mitigated
so that you shall lose five numbers in
your grade.
"In administering the reprimand
imposed as part of the sentence in this
case it is deemed sufficient to say
that an officer whose use of intoxicat.
ing liquors was so excessive that he
became drunk and refused to obey the
lawful order of hissuperior officer and
continued to make efforts to re-enter
ball room from which he has been
ordered by his commanding officer has
been guilty of misconduct tending to
destroy his reputation as an officer and
gentleman and he would be deeply
mortified by the publication of an
order announcing to the service the
fact of his trial and conviction by a
court martial for such offenses.
1.-The publication to the service by
general court-martial order of the
findings and sentence of the court aud
of the foregoing remarks embraced
herein will be regarded as a compli-
ance with so much of the sentence of
the court as provides that Second Lieu
tenant Frederick A. Gardener. u. s..
Marine Corps, shall be publicly repri-
manded by the Secretary of the Navy.
Second Lieutenant Gardener will be
released from arrest and restored to
duty -

FINDING OUT IT'S BEAUTIES.
MUCH PROPERTY CHANGES
HANDS LATELY.
Anne Arundel County Becoming
The Mecca of Those Who
Desire Homes In
Country.

AS the many aud varied advantages
of living in the neighborhood of An
napolis become better known a de-
cided increase in the number of out
side persons who have purchased in
the neighborhood and then settled
there TO make their homes, become
more apparent.
In the past year the number of veal
thy and moneyed persons who have
bought up old estates and erected
handsome homes is really surprising.
Already the Severn is being lined on
both sides by pleasing editioes and
we'll kept grounds and in a very short
time there will be a string of subur-
ban and country residences all the
way from Annapolis to Baltimore.
The accessibility of-both Annapolis
and Baltimore is strong card in favor
of the suburbanites and after they
have passed one summer in their nav
home they talk it up TO their friends
to such an extent that another city
dweller is induced to secure a country
home. Mr.. b. L. Brookes Sewell,
the we'll known chemical engineer who
has been living at Catonsville, has
purchased the old Shelton place at
North Severn. He is having il entire
ly remodeled and decorated and today
r. K. Strange g. Sons sent large force
of painters and decorators to hasten
the work, as Mr.. Sewell is anxious to
get into his new home.
The same firm is also doing the work
on the old Bird property at Birdsville,
which was recently purchased by Mr..
Walter Snyder, of the we'll known
Baltimore firm of Snyder q Stam-
ford. The residence is being repaired
as much as possible without altering
the architectural arrangements. Sew
eral other propertie in the neighbor-
hood of Annapolis have changed hands
and negotiations are being carried on
for other. 1t is expected that the next
year will bring forth many changes
in property, which will result in many
additions to the moneyed people of
the county.

For Midshipmen,s Cruise

The Navy Department is informed
that the Atlantic coast squradon, COM
manded by Rear Admiral H. w. Dick
ins and consisting of the battleshi p
Texas and the monitors Arkansas,
Nevada and Florida, left Key West
Saturday, in accordance with instruc-
tions from the department, for Hamp-
ton roads. These vessels will be fitted
out at the Norfolk navy yard for the
usual summer cruise and exercises of
the midshipmen at the Naval Acad-
envy. Although not finally settled it
is probable that these vessels will con-
stitute the enemy during the proposed
joint war game in the Chesapeake bay
in June. The general plan for these
games includes the defense of Wash.
ington and Baltimore by artillery
troops against an attack by fleet of
warships.

WANT THE oLDPICTURES
Commission Is Anxious to Get
Original Photographs For
Senate Chamber

The first meeting of the advisory
commission on the restoration Of the
old Senate Chamber in the State House
recently appointed by the Governor,
was held in the Governor office in
Baltimore, at the Fidelity Building,
Saturday.
There were present the Governor,
Messrs. Clayton @. Hall, DeCourcey
W. Thorn, j. Appleton Wilson, DR..
James ID. Iglehart and Mr. Josiah
Pennington, of the firm of Baldwin
& Pennington, the architects who have
the work in charge. The commission
discussed the general work before il
and decided TO request that any per-
sons who have any knowledge of the
details Of the old fireplace or win
dows, as they originally existed.
should communicate with the com
mission.
1t is thought probable that there are
in existence photographs of the old
fire place and the windows as they
were before the changes made in
Governor Carroll's time, and if the
persons owning these photographs
will communicate with the commits
sion, the members of that body will
be very much gratified. The Cover
nor presided at the meeting and spoke
of the Importance of the work in
hand, and of his great desire to see
the same completed as expeditiously
as possible. suggesting that it is high
ly desirable that the necessary changes
be completed by the 23d of December
(the anniversary of the REIMBURSEMENT
by General Washington of his posi-
tion as commander in chief of the
American army.
The Governor hopes to have the
work finished by that time, so that
fitting ceremonies may be held in the
restored chamber, thus re-dedicating
the room. The Governor considers
the work before the commission one
of the most important patriotic under
takings in the history of the state,
one which when eonsummated, will
entitle the commission to the COM
mendation and approval of the people.
