RAIN AT LAST
The Long Drouih Broken Al Last
Showers Eariy This Morning

KAN has come at last. Refreshing
showers, with a perceptible drop in
temperature, fell shortly after
o'clock this morning.
At last the long drOuth is ended.
and the Weather Bureau hit the nail
on the head this time The Weather
Bureau said there would be rain
Thursday night. and it did come, even
if a.sfew boursi iovertime.
The present drouth is the longest
and most severe in forty years, so far
as this immediate section OF the coun-
try is concerned. There has been no
rain to speak of since September /,
when the fall amounted TO a little
more than an inch and one-half.
There were light rains on Septem-
Der 8, and IS, and traces of rain
since that time, but none were really
worth taking note OF. During all of
September the total rainfall was 2.I3
inches. A strong wind from the south
stirred up the dust yesterday and
made outdoor life extremely disagree
able.
This, added to an extremely hig b
temperature for an October day,
made things very unpleasant. The
rain came early this morning in
heavy showers, and lighter showers
have fallen internationally throughout
the day.
Wells in Anne Arundel county that
have never been known to be low are
now dry, causing great difficulty in
obtaining enough water for drinking
purposes, according to DR.. David
Genese, who has just returned from
his farm. between the South and
Rhode rivers, fronting on the bay.
What water is in many of the
wells" said DR.. Genese, sis so stag
nant that it has become infected, and
within a radius of a mile from my
house there are twenty cases of illness
due TO the water. Men are not the
only sufferers. Disease is appearing
among the cattle, and do not know
what will happen if there is not some
rain before long.
Indications of rain came often.
Several times the sky has clouded up,
when wind came suddenly and drove
the clouds away. The only redeeming
feature is that the drouth is enab-
ling the farmers TO get their corn
in without loss. A rain at this time
would take the fodder off the
stalks. The corn was saved by rain
just before September ! and the
crop was pretty good.
MY well is usually thirty feet
deep in water, being a 50-foot well.
Now there is just a little water
at the bottom. and this is stag
nant
The drouth had become serious in
every section. The Weather Bureau
predicts partly cloudy and cooler
weather tonight and Saturday, with
showers.

TO REMOVE OLD GUNS
Board BIsmes No One For Explosion On
The Georgia

The board which Investigated the
explosion of a 12-inch gun on the
battleship Georgia during target
practice on the Southern drill grounds
two weeks ago bsames both the age Of
the gun and the charge of powder
used.
The board was composed of Lieut..
Commander W. L. FaIconer, Lieut.. C.
c. Courtney and Lieut. c. K. Ficher
with Ensign J. W. Wilcox as re-
eorder. The investigators were IN
able 70 arrive at a conclusion as TO the
exact cause of the accident. The ac
eident was regarded as unavoidable
and almost unaceountable.
The gun burst during its eighty
ninth shot. the natural life supposed
to be one hundred shots. 1t was sug-
gested that the large number Of shots
may have weakened the gun; that the
charge of modern smokeless high
power slow-iring powder proved too
strong for the old weapon, which was
not hoped all the way to the muZzle
The board recommends that all other
charges Of the same make Of powder
be tested at the Indian Head Proving
Ground before further use.

Celebrates His Fiftieth Anniversary

Mr.. Thomas Parran, Republican
candidate for Congress from the Fifth
Congressional district, celebrat ed his
fiftieth birthday yesterday by max
ing three speeches to his followers in
the Twenty-third and Twenty-f0urth
wards of Baltimore city.
The feature of the meeting was q
speech made by Moses Korp, a mer-
chant Of South Baltimore. Mr.. koDp
said that be was in favor Of Parran
because years ago, when he was ped
dler with a l50-pound pack on his
back, be stopped at Mr. Parran $
home in Calvert county one night and
asked for shelter, which was readily
given him. The speech brought forth
tremendous applause and stirred up
much enthusiasm.

The Lille Homestead

The company presenting The Lit
tie Homestead last night at the
Colonial Theatre was warmly re-
eeiyed by the gallery gods. They
were not, however. up to the stand
ard of the companies usually pre-
sented by Manager Falkner. While
the play itself is one which would
appeal to theatregoers, it showed
plainly that they were new TO the
business. The scenery was fairly
good and some of the actors acquit-
ted themselves creditably, but on a
whole the play was poor.
The crudeness Of the acting and the
long waits between the acts were very
trying. and at times the horse play
was more than one could bear. The
actors themselves have talent and had
the show been longer on the road and
some of the raw and crude acting
been polished up bit, the play would
be more acceptable. The company
played to a poor house and possibly
that had something to do with the lack
Of feeling put into the lines.
The orchestra of st. Johns Col
lege, Mr. r. H. Holljes, leader, will
give musicale at 207 Wet street, on
Friday evening, October :, for the
benefit of Trinity NJ. Z. Church,

dren 5 cents. Doors open at p. m.

Midshipmsn c. L. FOuiz HonOred By
Class 1918

AT meeting held at Recreation
Hall, Naval Academy. last night by
the fourth class, Midshipman C. L.
Foutz was elected president of the
Class 1918.
Midshipman Foutz is very popular
with his class, and is a good man for
the class leadership with which he
has been honored. His election was
declared unanimous.
At the same time Midshipman Fem
and Skinner Of the Glass 1918, were
elected members of the hop commit
tee to represent their class, and Mid
shipman Austin, also of the class, was
elected TO represent athletics of the
class. he is very popular with his
classmates, and his election will prob
ably give universal satisfaction
among the plebe athletes.
On Wednesday night Yell Master
Smith gave a talk to the fourth
class midshipmen in Recreation Hall
on the "yells" for the Army-Navy
game. and coached the plebes along
this line. after which there was a
practice of the navy songs and yells

NAVY VS. RUTGERS
Middies Rounding Into Shape
For Second Contest OF The
Season On W0rden
Field
CHANGES IN LINEUP COMING
Plsbe Brown Will Be Given Try AT Ead
And Anderson Possibly Get Chance
Al Center

In preparation for their second
struggle of the season tomorrow when
tkey will try conclusions with Rut-
gers, the midshipmen will get their
final instructions from the coaches
this afternoon.
Tomorrow's game. which viii be
called at 2 80 o'clock, is not looked
upon as il any way hard one for
the sailor lads to capture and will be
another good chance 70 try out a
number Of the substitutes, If the reg
ulars run up a safe score in the initial
periods of the contest
The lineup of the middies will
be about the same as in the St. Johns
game last week, except that Brown
the big plebe, will possibly start the
contest at right end. The practice
yesterday afternoon was light, most
of the scrimmaging being done inside
the varsity's 20-yard line, where the
ball was kept in the hands of the
scrubs, while Wheaton, the Yale
coach, from back-ield position, did
most of the attacking.
This was followed by some punting
and practice in getting down on the
runner under kicks. After the
squads work was completed, the
coaches took Cobb, Dalton and Brown
in hand for bit of work in getting
off drop goal kicking from points out
about the 80 yards from the posts.
In this work Anderson, the husky
southpaw twirler of last seasons
baseball squad, was given a try at
passing the ball, and he will probably
be worked into shape for center, al
though to displace Weems he will
have to show exceptionally good form.
