MARKING THE BARS.
The Recent Freeze Tested The Strength Of
Buoys Placed By The State

photographer Swepson Earle, Of the
Shellfish Commission, will this after
noon take up the marking of the first
natural oyster bars inside the Annapo-
lis harbor, 10 be staked out. This
work will be done on Fort" bar,
Just off old Fort Madison, and the bar
just inside Greenberry Point. Eight
buoys will be used TO outline the
two bars, which contain approxi-
mately forty and sixty acres.
The recent freeze and lay of eight
inch ice on the Severn river, has given
an opportunity for practical tests Of
the state buoys placed on some OF the
up-river bars several weeks ago. An
eight inch ice test is considered n Sc
we're one for even the Coast Survey
stake buoys, but those the Shellfsh
Commission put out have stood the
test eNcellently.
The work of stalking out the bars,
which is under even ordino oary cir
eumstances, n difficult one in winter
weather, has been somewhat delayed
on account of the recent freeze, but
with open weather il will be taken
up and rushed through by Mr.. Earle
and his assistants.

DATE FOR ARMY GAME.
Difference Of Feeling Al Two Institutions
Over When They Shall Meet.

Thero is decided difference Of feel
ing between the athletic authorities
Of the United States Military and Ma
val Academies as 10 the date OF the
annual football game between the two
institutions, the representatives Of
West Point wishing 10 play the game
on the Saturday before Thanksgiving
day, which comes on November %,
while those at the Naval Academy fas
vor the old time, the Saturday after
Thanksgiving Day.
The argument of the Army repre-
sentatiyes is based on the present
length OF the season, which they
consider too great. Those Of the
Navy point ont that both teams are
later than other teams in beginning
their season, and IL is also urged that
the event is OF greater prominence by
having il after the other big college
games.
The matter has not bern brought to
an issue officially, but the Army Ath-
letic Association has taken strong
position for the earlier date and this
will undoubtedly be opposed oy the
Navy. There is general agreement
that the games shall be continued to
be played at Franklin Field Phila-

An Excellent Draughtsman.

after having been found deficient in
his scholastic work, is recognized as
one Of the most talented mechanical
draughtsmen who ever attended the
Academy. lie has stood number one
in mechanical drawing in his class of
over 200 members ever since he has
been a midshipman. Chambers, how
ever, was not able to do very good
work along other lines and so was
compelled to give up his idea Of be-
coming naval officer. This is the
second time that ne has resigned
from the Academy and he is now too
old to re-enter. 1t is thought that
he will have no difficulty in COM
manding an excellent position on ae-

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Flames Do Considerable Damage Al lone Of
Mr.. Walk Az Murray Hill.

Fire Of nnasceriained origin broke
out shortly before o'clock this
morning at the residence Of Mr.. John
Walk. on Southgate avenue, in the
Murray Hill section. and was the
occasion Of damage to the extent Of
about 800.
All the companies OF the Annapolis
fire department responded promptly
and, on account of the location of the
fire being mainly between walls, a
large amount of cutting and throwing
OF water was necessary TO put out the
flames. Mr.. Walk is out Of town on
business and the occupants of the
house were Mrs. Walk, Miss Walk and
two candidates for the Naval Acad
emy, Messrs. Reed and Bird. The fire
was discovered by Mrs. Walk, who
perceived large amount of smoke
throughout the house. 1t was found
that the fire was in the pantry on the
first floor and the part Of the house
around ii. Those in the house made
an effort TO control ii, but il was
found necessary TO send in an alarm.
The fire department responded
promptly and oyercame the Difficult
ties connected with controlling the
fire in a very efficient manner. The
walls were cut and several streams
were directed against the fire, putting
1t entirely out in short time. How
ever, much damage was necessarily
done by the cutting and by the water.
The loss was covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is rather mys-
terious and no theory has been ad-
vanced which appears probable. There
ware no fues, heat pipes or electric
wires so situated as to have been pos
sible causes. III was suggested that
rats or mice gnawing matches might
have caused the fire, but Mrs. Walk
stated that all matches were kept in n
closed jar.

WILL STILL GET BEER
WHEN STATE is DRY
Brewers Asking for lnjunC=
ton.

II is learned here that a number or
lawyers representing the big brewer
les of Georgia will go to New Orleans
today for the purpose of appearing
before Judge Pardee and asking for
an injunction prohibiting the enforce
ment of the State prohibition law as
against their business until the con-
stitutionality Of the law itself can be
determined by the court.
The brewers decline to discuss the
matter, but the report of their activ-
ity comes pretty straight. They hold
that in its application to them the
State prohibition law practically con-
fisicates their property without due
process of law, in violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States.
1t is a fact, that the Atlanta Brew
ing Comply, at least, instead of pre-
pairing to abandon its business or to
move, has been materially adding to
its plant. That it intends to continue
in business of some sort there can be
no question.
Should the injunction be granted,
the breweries might continue to man
ufacture beer, but the sale and dis
tribution of it within the State would
be another problem.
1t is stated the Macon brewery is
not interested in the legal proceed
ings, as it has discovered a process
of making a non-alcoholic beer, which
will be put on the market after Jan.
l. Revenue officers who have looked
into the matter state that this new
beer contains less than one-tenth of
one per cent. of alcohol, and that the
sale of it will be perfectly legal under
the law.
Americas people who like the mild
beverage are awaiting futures events

FARMER PAYS
FOR EUROPEAN GOLD
Solves Question for Wall
Street.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-(SpeciaD =
Wall Street displayed greater interest
in the Governments figures for for
eign trade for November than it us
ually does in these statistics for the
reason that the question which has
been most of its lips during the
heavy gold engagements of recent
weeks has been how the total of over
$500, 100000 of imported gold was
to be paid for
When it read the Governments fig
ures yesterday, therefore, and found
that exports of merchandise during
November touched the remarkable to-
tai of $204 ,445, 700, figures never
before approached in the history of
our foreign trade, it was pleased,
for it became evident at once that it
was largely through the agency of
unprecedented shipments of our
goods of one kind or another that
banking houses were able to bring
in during the month the record total
of $63 ,463 900 of gold
When the great gold import move
ment began around the 1st of Nov
ember it was generally understood
that the banks in position to do so
were rushing as fast as they could
to the Atlantic seaboard those COM
modities which go to make up the
bulk of our trade with Europe. Early
in the movement one bank in this
city bought in one day bills of ex-
change representing over five ship
loads of cotton, and this is fairly typi-
cal of the efforts of banks and bank
