A DIRTY TRICK
Two Children OF Good Parentsge Are
Seen To Spit In Ice Water Barrel

One expects dirty tricks from
children of low parentage, children
who do not receive proper training
and who raise themselves rather than
are brought up like Christians, but
one does not expect low down"
dirty tricks from children of good
parentage.
That the latter are not always re-
fined, or even decently behaved was
demonstrated last evening publicly
at the corner of PRINCE George street
and College avenue, where one of the
public ice water barrels is located.
Two children, one the son of naval
officer, the other the child of a prom
inent business man, whose social
standing is above question, deliber-
ately raised the lid of the barrel and
each child spit into the contents. 1t
was not only loathsome thing to do,
but it was witnessed by party of
strangers who stood aghast in amaze
ment that we'll dressed, good look
ing children who, from appearance,
came from the best homes, would
dare do thing like that.
Mrs. Walter Clark who was driving
by at the time and saw the children
do this trick, stopped her carriage
and shamed them, telling them she
would report it to the Mayor The
children's names are known, but are
withheld because of their parents
standing in the community. No pun
ishment administered to youngsters
who did trick like this can be too
severe.
! No one is safe to drink from barrels
that are spit into. and the ice water
furnished free has been God-send
these fearful hot days to hundreds
of thirsty people.

An Expert Fisherman

Amos Wallace, colored, represents
three generations of experts in the
well-digging business On Tuesday
last Mr.. Harry J. Medford, of Rull-
manville, on the Spa Road, lost the
last of his two buckets in a 60-foot
we'll. Amos was on hand and made
a set of fishing tackle out Of clothes
line, a piece of wire and part of a
broken buggy spring as sinker.
Fastening the sinker parallel with
and on to the line, Amos let down his
hook, and in three minutes had one
bucket safely on land. The second
was problem. 1t lay on its end, up
side down. After a quarter of an
hour of angling, Amos caught grip
on the bottom of the bucket as slight
as a touch of the tip of a finger.
As he drew on his capture, it fell
sideways against the line. and, poised
so evenly on its centre that breath
would have upset it, Amos slowly
and cautiously pulled the second
I bucket out of the well. Smiles
wreathed the brow of the owner OF
I the buckets, and water was restored
I to the delighted household.

UMPIRED PIE-EATING MATCH
But Midshipman ROesch Not To Be
Dismissed

The promoter of a pie-eating con.
test is not necessarily hazer, and
accordingly Midshipman Herbert o.
Roesch, of Oregon, will not be dis
missed from the Naval Academy.
Capt. John M. Bowyer, superin-
tendent of the Academy, in a report
to the Navy Department. said
Roesch was guilty of hazing and
should be court-martialed. Captain
Bowyer made his recommendation
on the findings of a board of in
qury, which spent some time look
ing into the now-famous pastry
consuming match. -. -
Roesch said he didn't mean to haze
anybody, and Acting Secretary of the
Navy Winthrop, who is a New Eng
lander and quite fond of pie himself,
says such contest was not haZing.
Accordingly, for the first time since
Captain Bowyer has been superinten-
dent of the Naval Academy. his rec
ommendation has been disapproved
by the department.
1t was good pie which was served
to the midshipmen that night, and
Roesch suggested that they engage in
a contest to determine which could
finish his pie first. Because Roesch
was the senior midshipman present,
and accordingly at the head of the
table, the authorities, when they
learned of the matter, decided it was
haZing.
As far as the testimony shows, all
the boys enjoyed their pie and never
thought of being hazed and Roesch
also made the point that according to
the traditions of the Academy first
classman never hazes freshmen, the
contestants having been first class
men, Roesch's diploma had been
withheld but he will now get it. q

Mr.. OWENS IN THE RACE
Annapolis LAWYER After Fifth District
Nomination

Mr.. James w. Owens. of Annapolis.
counsel to the Anne Arundel County
Commissioners, yesterday made formal
announcement that he is in the race
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress from the Fifth district.
Among the items set out in his
platform, in which he calls on the
voters of the district for support at
the Forthcoming primaries, are
these:
A protective tariff on luxuries.
which only the rich are able to buy
of reentry of all raw materials; ex-
port duty on all goods manufactured
in this country which are sold in for
eign countries at lower price than
here, the amount of duty to equal the
difference in price; a Government
drydock at Drum Point, which will
finally result in the construction of
railroad to that point; dredging or
jettying of the inland waterways, es.
pecially in the Patuxent and Severn
rivers, and the enactment of law
prohibiting the enlistment of negro
soldiers. Baltimore Sun.
MI. u dIleS w. OWeIS mas Uldue the
announcement that he will become a
candidate for Congress this fall.
Who in all this congressional district
would be more energetic in looking
after the interests of his constituents
than Mr.. Owens? Who would be
more industrious than Mr.. Owens, if
a member of Congress, IN fighting for
an appropriation to build the long
sired boulevard connecting the Ma
tional Cemetery with the Naval Acad-
emy property, via West Annapolis?
There are many and large improve
ments to be made in our splendid
Naval Academy requiring large and
continuing appropriations; who, in
all the district, would come nearer
securing these appropriations than
Mr.. Owens, who understands the con-
ditions here better than any other
candidate in the field? There is only
one answer to these questions and
that is an answer favorable to Mr..
Owens. If favorable, then why not
Anne Arundel county, and particular
ly the city of Annapolis, give Mr..
Owens a solid endorsement for the
nomination?
