FIELD AND TRACK TEAM.
st. Johns College Athletes Hard Al Work..
Base Ball Begun In Cage.

Wnen st. Johns College Teopened
last week, after its Christmas vaca-
tion, the captains and managers of
the respective athletic teams once
more began their various duties.
Captain Harrison, of the track team,
was the first to get oown TO real work,
and on last Wednesday afternoon, al
though the College bad been open only
one day, he and seven other candi-
dates were out for the College relay
team, which is TO run at the Fifth
Regiment Armory meet in Baltimore
on Febraury 3. The men out besides
Captain Harrison were Warfield, Ste
vens, TaTbert, Crawford, Mudd, Ruhl
and Johnson.
The first three were members of the
College relay team last year, which
did such good work, and will probably
make their places again this season.
Tarbret and Crawford were substitutes
ON last years team, and will un-
doubtedly make some one hustle this
season to hold their place. OF the new
men, Mudd. (son of Congressman sgd
ney Il. Mudd), who ran for George
town last season, seems to be the most
promising. Should he.make the team
and Warfield hold his last year S
place, st. Johns relay team will in
clude a Governors and a Congress
mans S son.
The schedule for the track team is
not completed, but it will most likely
cali for entries in the Pennsylvania,
Georgetown, Virginia and Maryland
intercollegiate meets. The other track
team candidates Will not report until

THREE DATES POSSIBLE.
Army.Na,y Games Being Arranged By Off
GERS of Athletic Association.

The date for the annual baseball
game between the United States Ma
Val and Military Academies, which
will take place at West Point this
year. has not been definitely settled.
Nav Is and % and June l, are being
considered as possible dates. The
selection of the date has been turned
over TO officers representing the Ath-
letic Associations of the two institu-
tions.
The representatives of West Point
informed Commander L. b. Howard,
who is acting for the Navy, that May
% would be the most convenient date
for the Army, but that viii be an al
most impossible date for the Navy,
owing to examinations. and Comman-
der Howard has written suggesting
Nav rs or June l preferably the for
mer date. No reply has been received
to this as yet.
The last date mentioned is regarded
as too late and the first one is most
probable. However, if the game is
played on May is, a game scheduled
for that day with Georgetown will
have to be cancelled and the Navy
authorities do not wish TO do this
unless il is absolutely necessary, as
the Georgetown game is regarded as
one of the most important ON the
schedule.

GOVERNOR 'SSTIRR|NGSPEEC
Hits Out From The Shoulder At
Baltimore Banquet.
LESS PARTISANSHIP AND MORE PATRIOT.
ISM is NEEDED.
Cannot Be Sweryed By Political, Per.
sonaI Or Any Other COnSidera.
ton From His Duty.

Governor Wariield made stirring
speech at a banquet at the Belvedere,
Baltimore, last night, given by the
Peabody Heights Improvement Asso-
citation. The Governor said in part:
"When | became Governor of Mary
land | took the oath TO obey the Con-
stitution of the State, and | have not
been swerved by political, personal or
any other considerations from perform
ing the duties imposed by that oath.
ssI was nominated and ell sciod Gov
ernor of this State as Democrat, but
when | took the oath of Office | be-
came the Governor of all the people,
irrespective of party.
'.The Constitution expressly de-
elares that the legislative, judicial and
executive departments shall be sepa-
rate. / have never encrOached upon
the legislative department.
s.The responsibility for the failure
of reforms which recommended does
not fall upon me, but upon the legis-
lative department of the government.
(Applause.)
..There are some men, self-consti-
tuted leaders, who think they ought to
make all the appointments, though
they do not have to bear the respon-
sibility.
s'When you let certain men control
your party organization for long
time they think they are it, and are
the whole thing.
The Governor said he was not seek
ing reelection and should not spare
his own party when his own party
fails to perform Its duty.
The Governor spoke of the impossi-
bility of pleasing everybody in the
matter of appointments, especially
where the executive uses his own best
Judgment in the selection of the APP
pointees, and declines TO be guided
by the dictation of so-called leaders
and self-constitutd managers.
In the speech tho Governor hit out
from the shoulder and his remarks
were repeatedly applauded.

TO EXPERIMENT WITH WARSHIP
An Inventor Wants TO Use The Texas As a
Taget.

4 novel proposition will be made
in bill introduced in Congress TO
use the old battleship Texas as
target for l2-inch gun in order TO
determine definitely and finally the
destructive power of a large quantity
of high explosives fired against the
broadside OF battleship.
The measure, il is understood, viii
be introduced by Representative sgd
ney T.. Mudd, of Maryland, who is
a member of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee. II is proposed TO bring the
Texas up to the naval proving grounds
at Indian Head, Eanchor her in shallow
water over a fiat sandy bottom, turn
in the guns, discharge the crew and
then fire n dynamite shell against the
thiekest portion of the armor belt at
the water line.
The test is sought by Willard Iskam,
inventor of the Ishman shell, at
whose request the bill viii be intro
duced. Mr.. Isham has been working
for many years in the development
of his theory that the greatest dc.
structive power is secured by outside
explosion rather than by shell pene-
tration. The army authorities have
ut various times i'm the past tested his
shells at Sandy Hook.

HAD A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Mr. John Levy Smoked His Pipe With a
Cartridge In H.

a pipe is n very harmless instru-
ment when filed with tobacco, but
when filled with tobacco plus a 22-
short cartridge, il is rather danger
Gus instrument TO smoke, and is calcu-
lated to cause serious iniury-mayhap
blow the head of the smoker into king

III was the unique, not to say danger
Gus, experience of MIR. John j.. Levy,
of Madison street, to be putting away
at his amber-stem pipe about 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, little mindful
tnat the pipe was filled with tobacco
in the midst of which reposed a
seemingly harmless cartridge. Mr..
l. evy was at the time in the Office
of the freight depot of the A., w. q
B. railroad, talking with Mr.. Sharp
ley, the agent. Suddenly thera was n
report as of n pistol shot, and the pipe
flew into dozen pieces. one of them
striking Mr.. Sharply in the face. The
bursting Of the pipe was SO sudden
and unexpected that for a moment
neither gentleman knew how 10 ac-
count for it,
An Investigation was made, when
the cap of the cartridge was found on
the floor battered out of shape. Mr..
Levy realized the narrow escape he
had made and then he began to think
how the cartridge found lodgment
in his pipe. Mr.. Levy had a practice
of carrying tobacco loose i'm his coat
pocket and in small pocket inside
the large one, he carried catrid ges
which he used from time to time i'm
his cat rifle, practicing at shooting in
the backyard.
Mr.. Levy is member of the Annap-
oils Gun Club and a splendid shot.
lie has made several records in marks
manship and recently won several
turkeys and chickens in a turkey
shoot at Pasadena and at Arnolds,
this county. 1t is supposed that the
cartridges in MIR. Levy's small pocket
in soms way got mixed with the to-
bacco in the large pocket, and in fill
ing his pipe the cartridge was put in
the bowl of the pipe unnoticed.
Had the cartridge been pointing in
the direction of Mr.. Levy's face it
would doubtless have caused serious
damage. At any rate he made mar
row, and altogether fortunate, escape.

SAYS THE COMPANY CANNOT ACCEPT
THE FRANCHISE.
Annapolis, Washington And Baltimore
Electric Railroad COmpany'S Stand
IN The Premises.

President George 4. Bishop, OF the
Washington, Baltimore and Annap-
oils Electric Railway Company, has
addressed the following letter 10 the
City Council:
January IL. 1907.
The Honorable, the Mayor, the Coun-
sellor and the Aldermen of the City
of Annapolis, Md.
Dear Sirs -
"We received and have carefully con
sidered the ordinance which was re-
ported November last to you by the
Committee ON Bylaws and Ordinan-
ees, and referring to the granting of
street railway rights in the City of
Annapolis.
We have therefore submitted TO you
i'm the form of an ordinance, what, in
our opinion, would be a reasonable
grant on the part of the city To our
company. The ordinance which was
submitted was less favorable to our
company, in many respects, than the
one recently granted 10 us for an en-
trance TO the City of Baltimore. The
ordinance which was reported back
by the Committee on Bylaws and
Ordinances November last would inn
pose unnecessary and impractical bur
dens on any railway company, and,
in our opinion, does not contain con
ditions or provisions sufficiently fa-
vorable to warrant any company ac-
cepting the provisions thereof and
building street railway in your city.
1--WE have at all times been desirous
of securing a franchise in your city
for ths operation of our cars. but the
provisions of the ordinance now pro-
posed by you are so burdensome and,
in our opinion, so unreasonable, that
we feel compelled, in fairness TO you,
to say frankly that our company can
not accept franchise or make any
expenditure of money on the terms
stipulated in the ordinance reported
by the Committee on Bylaws and
Ordinances.
1--WE would further state that work
is progressing rapidly on the con
struction of our main line between
Washington and Baltimore, and we
have also begun relaying of the track
on the A., w. 81 b. Railroad for the
purpose of electrifying the same. Our
tracks are in large proportion COM
pleted in the streets of Baltimore, and
work is progressing rapidly on con
struction of the Baltimore Terminal
property, of which our company is
TO have the exclusive use.
''We are spending very large sums of
money in the matter of eliminating
of grade crossings of both highways
and steam railroads, and our line,
when completed, will furnish a means
of transportation between your city
and the cities of Washington and Bal
timore with the greatest possible de-
gree of safety known to railway sci
ence. The rapid completion of our
property and the early operation
thereof makes it especially necessary
for us to promptly know whether or
not we can have terminal facilities
in your city, equal in all respects to
our terminals in Washington and in
Baltimore. We will, therefore, be
glad at any time to take up with
you, or with the proper committee
of your body, the matter of working
out practicable and acceptable fran

HIGHER PRICES FOR TOMATOES
Farmers Take Action To Protect Their Own
Interests.

\ largely attended and inter sting
meeting of farmers of tho Second and
Third districts of this county was
held ON Monday at DavidsonvillV.
The meeting was called to discuss
the prices for tomatoes next season,
and it was unanimously decided not
to plant tomatoes unless the price
required could he fixed at 10 cents
for four-eighth basket tone-h half
hushel.
Heretofore the price paid has been
10 and II cents for hve-eighth has-
ket tfiVe-eights of a hushol.l When
the canning factories open they usually
fix the price of tomatoes and the con-
tract price for the coming year has
been fixed at l6 cents half hushol.
The reason for the advance in the price
of tomatoes is that the price of fertil-
izer is high, that labor is very scarce
and high and that the crop is usually
SO uncertain as the weather conditions
play very important part in tho
growth of the pommo dc terro.
The price of tomatoes will effect
the canning industry throughout the
county. A number of farmers nc
Camp Parole are interested in the
matter and were in attendance at tho
meeting.

TO IMPROVE SAUNDERS RANGE.
Developing Site of Annual Eneampment of
The State Guard.

The State authorities have begun To
improve Saunders Range. near Glen
Burnie, this county, on the line of the
Maryland Electric Railways Company
baltimore and Annapolis Short Line
Railroad) in such a manner as 10 in
dieate clearly that il is expected to
still further increase the efficiency of
the range and its use by the members
of the Maryland National Guard, and
in all probability 20 develop il into a
site for the annual encampment.
Heretofore. the encampmentS of the
Guard have been at different points
and not only would great saving
be effected il one site were used, but
the militiamen could receive practice
in rifle shooting more readily.
4 contract for large amount of
work upon the Range has been given
To Capt. +. Lacy Chinn, of this coun-
ty, an engineer and surveyor, no also
commands one of the companies sta
toned in this city. All of tine butts
will be raised six feet and the target
pits will be concTeted. a large
amount of leVeling along the range
Will be done and il is contemplated
to grade the whole of the ground be-
tween the butts and the firing line,
thus forming an excellent and eX-
tensiVe parade grounds. capable of
supplying the ground for Vancouver
ing the entire national guard of the
State.
In the essentials of a camping ground
for the militia, Saunders Range is
amply supplied. The drainage is good
and the sandy soil does not form mud.
Excellent drinking water can be had
by driving wells and fine bathing is
afforded by Furnace Branch of Curtis
creek, which is less than mile dis
tant. The site is less than an hours
distance by rail from Baltimore and
Annapolis and thus the Guard could
be assembled there more readily than
at any other point, the Eastern shore
companies coming by way of boat,
could land here. The surrounding
country is very we'll adapted to opera
tions on an extensive scale.
The work of the members of the
National Guard at Saunders Range
this summer has been far ahead of
anything which has previously been
done and prominent officers of the
Guard and high officials in the State
are anxious that the benefits of rifle
practice and encampment may be COM
bined upon as economical scale as
possible. This would be accomplish
ed by the securing of permanent
grounds near Glen Burnie.
The only thing which might deter
the securing of the grounds would
be the opposition of any of the resi-
dents of the section. The State au-
thorities have, as has been the case
in many other States, had some diff
Guilty in conductingg their rifle work
owing to the fear which some of the
residents have of "A stray bullett caus-
ingsdamage. However, there has been
remarkably little Of this and the Off
GERS at the Range always take the
greatest care TO avoid the possibility of
an accident.
1t is very probable that an effort
will be made during the next session
of the Legislature to secure an appro-
pri alton for the purchase of a site for
permanent ground for encampments,
and undoubtedly the land in the vi
cinity of Glen Burnie and Saunders
Range will furnish the most likely
location.

THERE WERE FEW FAIR DAYS.
r,eessi,e Rain Shown In Record Of The
Past Two Months.

fong suffering, sunshine-loYlng,
tent humanity thought il suffered
.,oueb from rain last summer, for
5sys and days, weeks and weeks, and
f.,olted forward 10 at least a winter OF
rcw clear days, only to be disap-
nointed.
The average number of cloudy and
,,iuy days this winter is far in excess
III those in any like period during
~. same season since 1871, with one
e,ception, according to Director Won
Hermann, Of the Weather Bureau,
Baltimore.
Yesterday was another cloudy and
misty dav, but the weather man says
e,nditions are likely 10 change in the
NM dav or two. During December
I,.t there were five clear days, seven
partly cloudy days and nineteen
cloudy DAYS. So far this month there
have been three clear days, four
partIv cloudy days and nine cloudy
DAYS, seven days being accompanied
by rain or snow.
The average weather conditions for
december and January are: Decem-
b,r. 10 clear days, IL partly cloudy
davs and 3 cloudy days; January, 8
clear days, II partly cloudy days and
n cloudy days. A glance at these fig
ures will show that January, if it con-
tfnues. will far surpass the average
conditions. During the winter of

ceeded, December having 2l cloudy
days.
Mr.. Won Hermann, in explaining
Inc reasons for the mild winter so far
and the peculiar conditions of the
