FIRST "INFORMAL" HOP,
Mold Loft Crowded With Dancers
MANY Holiday Visitors

According to the custom of some
years back, the afternoon drills are
suspended at the Naval Academy
from 4 to o'clock, during Christ
mas week, and the authorities have
granted the privilege to the Midship-
men of having informal hops, every
afternoon for two hours, in the mold
loft.
Yesterday afternoon the first infor-
NAL hop was given, and was enjoyed
by large number of the younger set
from the Naval Academy and Annap-
oils, and many visitors who are here
to spend the holiday week with their
relatives and friends the Midship-
men. The mold loft was uncom-
fortably crowded with dancers, but
the informal hop was enjoyed, as
most of these informal hops are.
There is a sort of independence
about these afternoon hops that en-
hances their pleasure. Young girls
can wear street costumes, hats and
dress exactly as they please, and
many chic tailor suits are seen on
the dance floor, while others over.
step conventionalities and wear
semi-evening dresses and some even
wear evening dresses at the after
noon hops before o'clock, but the
overdressed are few.
Yesterday afternoon every style.
principally the hobble was seen in the
way of skirts, and there were some
very handsome costumes. The hop
was very pretty one. and most of
the Midshipmen took advantage of
the privilege. Only the first class,
who are stripers. are allowed out in
town, the other Midshipmen meet
their girl friends at the Naval Acad-
emy main gate. The informals will
last the rest of the week until Sat-
urday.

LOCAL MAN ARRESTED
Trouble Over Letter Carriers Uniform
Starts With Accident

An accident to Clarence Anderson,
% years old, of this city, at Fif-
teenth and K streets, Washington Mon
day night resulted in his arrest by po-
lice of the Ninth precinct, where
he is held pending an investigation,
says the Baltimore Sun.
Anderson was wearing the uniform
of>a Washington letter carrier and
investigation showed that he is not a
member of that carrier force.
He told such conflicting stories in
explanation of the uniform that it
was decided to hold him.
Anderson attempted to alight from
a Washington, Baltimore and Annap-
oils car at the White House Station
and fell on the sharp gravel of the
platform among the track. His face
and hands were lacerated. The pa
troll wagon of the Ninth precinct was
called, and Anderson was taken to
the Casualty Hospital.
When questioned by the police as
to his identity he first said he lives
at Annapolis and was Of good fam
lily here. Later he declared be board
ed at the home of Mrs. George Davis,
in Anne Arundel county, but was un-
able or unwilling to state definitely
in what section of Anne Arundel
county.

CHANGE IN NAVAL DESIGN
OHtcIassed Warships To Be Mother
Ships For Submarine Boats
Warships Age Rapidly

The conversion Of the triple-serew
cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis
into mother ships" for submarine
boats, emphasizes the great change
that has taken place in naval design
within the past few years.
The two vessels were constructed to
destroy the commerce of an enemy
on the seas. Consequently they were
filled with boilers, engines and ma
chinery designed to make them fast
enough to overtake even the fastest
ocean liners. But the mercantile ma
rine progressed in speed moro rapidly
than the navy, and within few years
after they were launched the 20-knot
pirates, as the two cruisers were
called, were really outclassed com
pared with the swift boats on the
transatlantic service.
Chief Constructor Watt therefore
has recommended to the Navy De
partment and to Congress that the Co
lumbia and the Minneapolis be turned
into mother ships" He points out
the vulnerability of the vessels, which
are too weak to stand before any war.
ship and too big for police work
which is better done by small gun
boats. He would remove about two
thirds of the boiler power and two of
the three engines in such ships so as
to make them economical in opera
tion.
Equipped with dynamos for re-
charging the storage batteries of sub
marines, and with ample room for
their supplies, each of the vessels
should be able to mother" seven
submarines. The estimated cost of
the changes would be about $3.50, 600
for each ship. Although only in com.
mission q few years, the big battle
ships Georgia and Virginia need over
hauling and undermining in many re-
spects. The changes relate to the
batteries, magazines, ammunition
hoists, turret turning gear, fire con-
troll stations and magazine coaling
sytems.
\The changes will cost S400, coo in
each case. Extensive alterations
must also be made in the Dubuque,
Marietta, Paducah, Arethusa, Aus
tin, Ssturn and lroquois, and alto
gether the bill for repairs and
changes on these ships in the next
year or two will aggregate 81, 4S8, 600.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Capt. Sims OF Minnesota Called To Task
For His Expression

Freedom of speech has brought
many man into trouble,
but rarely a naval man, who is
usually more guarded, because of
his official position and his allegiance
to the Government.
Commander William S. Sims,
former aid and favorite of Colonel
Roosevelt when the latter was
President of the United States, has
submitted a statement to Secretary
of the Navy Meyer. in which he
ing at dinner in London that if
necessary, America would 60 to the
aid Of Great Britain to the last
dollar and last drop of blood.
Commander Sims, who is in COM
mand of the battleship Minnesota
of the fourth division of the Allan
tic fleet, aroused the suspicious of
the German people by the tone of
his speech, which was made at
dinner given by the British Navy to
the American bluejackets at Guild
hall on December 8.
Captain Sims reply has been re-
ferred by Secretary Meyer to Presi
den Taft for direction as to what
action, if any, shall be taken in the
matter While it is not regarded
as likely that the authorities in
Washington will push "a court-mar-
tial upon Captain Sims, it is not
likely that he will escape without
reprimand..
While some of the authorities are
disposed to show no leniencr with
Sims in the matter of his freedom
of speech in making what apparent
ly has been construed by Germany
as a semi-official pledge, the Navy
Department would probably manage
to let the matter pass, were it not
for the fact that the State Depart
ment stands chance of being en-
barrassed by his remarks in the ne
gotiations which have now been
opened, seeking an amicable settle
ment of the controversy over the
tariff on German potash importations.

collecting special tax. And it would
be perfectly proper for the County
Commissioners to be empowered to
levy a special tax for special privi-
leges without at the same time pro-
viding for an Improvement Commits
sion to disburse the funds so raised.
Therefore, if each have separate
duties which each can perform in.
dependent of the other, then the act
and title combine separate matters.
1T can hardly be seriously contend
ed that either part of the title is
broad enough to cover the whole act.
From merely reading the first
page of the title, no one would be
informed that any legislation was in
tended, other tken the levying of a
tax for certain special privileges.
There is no intimation, whatever, in
that part of the title that an I'm
proveInent Commission for all of the
districts of the county is contem-
plated. Nor would it be possible if
one only read the last part of the
title, and for an Improvement Com
mission in the Fifth district, to be
in any way informed of the attempt
to provide for tax for special privi-
leges. And unless each of these two
parts were broad enough to cover the
entire legislation attempted, they
would not come within cases cited.
"It is not possible to strike
down one of the subjects and leave
the other stand. The title COM
bines the two subjects, and the
Court cannot exercise an arbitrary
power and declare which was the
subject contemplated by the act.
But if the title embraced but one
subject. and foreign or discordant
matter were introduced in the body
of the act. the foreign or discordant
matter could be rejected, providing
other parts of the law could stand
without it. But if the act is COM
posed of a number of discordant
and dissimilar subjects, so that no
one could be clearly recognized as
whole law is null and void.
1T is not alleged, nor does it Zap
pear in any of the proceedings of
this case, that the tax here COM
planned of has been paid by the
plaintiaffs. And in accordance with
the above view, the demurrer must
be overruled, and an Injunction will
be granted restraining the defend
ants from collecting the tax levied
upon the property of the plaintiffs,
under Chapter 334, Acts of 1910.
cit is thereupon ordered and de-
creed by the Circuit Court for Anne
Arundel county, sitting as a Court
of Equity, this 9th day of December,
1910, that the demurrer in this case
be and is hereby overruIed, and the
County Commissioners of Anne Arun-
del county, and Joshua S. Linthicum,
the Treasurer of Anne Arundel .coun-
ty be, and they are hereby enjoined
and restrained from collection the tax
of "a cents on the one hundred dol
lars which has been levied by the
said County Commissioners of Anne
Arundel county, upon the property
of the plaintiffs in this cause under
and by virtue of the Act of 1910
Chapter 334. And it is further or
dered that the defendants the County
Commissioners of Anne Arundel coun-
ty pay the costs of these proceedings.

THOSE BOXING KIDS
The Shrier Bows Do Three Rounds Al
Colonial Theatre An Interesting
Family

Vaudeville took new turn last
night at the Colonial Theatre, when a
boxing match was introduced in con-
nection with the moving picture
show.
A really" ring as the children
say, roped off, with the two attend =
ants at opposite corners. the proven
bial paraphernalia for boxers and
wrestlers, such as towels to fan them
with, pals of water. sponges, etc,
etc., were all in evidence and the en-
tire boxing match was very realistic.
The boxers were Don Shrier, age
10 years, introduced as MYSTERIOUS
Don, of Michigan" and Quincy
Shrier, age s years, introduced as
Young Shrier. of Washington, d. c."
The boys are brothers and the
elder was born in Michigan, the
younger in Washington. Their faith
er is Robert ID. Shrier. who is their
manager. Their mother, Mrs.
Shrier. is a daughter of the late
Capt. Walter Clifford, United States
Army, and Indian agent
The Shrier boys are acrobats and
gymnasts as we'll as boxers. They
were instructed in boxing by Bat
tling Nelson" who took a great
fancy to the boys, and their work
is very clever for such tiny tots. A
little sister, Little Audrey, age 6
years, is engaged in song and dance,
and is the child actress for the Capt.
tai Film Company, of Washington,
d. c.
The act of the little boxers is we'll
worth seeing at the Colonial Theatre
tonight. The pictures are unusually
good. Don't miss it.

Not noticing the error he awaited

They came from the East, the West,
