BUSINESS KEEPS UP WELL
Steamer ldIer Makes Second Trip Across
Bay With GOOdly Number OF Pas
sengers From Eastern Shore

Although little behind schedule
time, the steamer Idler, of the Chesa-
peake Bay Navigation Company, made
her second trip from Cambridge to
Annapolis in good shape this morning
and brought another safely large
number of passengers, most of whom
made their regular 10 connection
over the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric Railway for Balti-
more.
Over a dozen paid passengers were
taken aboard at Cambridge for the
Western Shore, and these, like the
passengers who made the initial trip
yesterday, expressed themselves as
we'll pleased with the new route.
Somelttle difficulty is being expert
enced with the packing in the engines
and the resulting inability to hold the
proper pressure of steam to make the
required speed to maintain the sched-
ule, but when this is corrected, no
further trouble is expected.
The Idler was inspected this morning
upon her arrival here by Acting Col
lector of the Port, A. H. H. Ashford,
to see if she complied with the Federal
equirements of ssfety. She apparent
ly passed the ordeal satisfactorily.

RECK0NED WRONG
Secretary OF Navy Wanted To Gust
Capps Who Will Not Retire

When Secretary of the Navy Meyer
left Washington month ago for his
! summer vacation in Canada and New
England he felt thoroughly satisfied
with his first years administration OF
the navy, believing that he had the
belligerents of the various staff corps
well subjugated and that his over
throw of the Newberry organization
scheme was permanent.
During the year several elements of
bureaus became submissive and were
legislated out of office. Conspicuous
among these was Paymaster General
Rogers. Lastly, just before leaving,
Chief Constructor Capps, who, like
Rogers, had opposed the Meyer policy
before the naval committees, was pro-
vided with official inspiration TO tend
er his resignation, to be relieved by
Constructor Watts, in whom the entire
navy has confidence for his profess
sional and harmonizing ability.
= The downfall of Capps was the last
thing accomplished By Secretary Mey-
er, and this announcement he made on
the eve of his departure, feeling GER
tain that Capps, like Rogers, would
quit the service altogether and be out
of his way henceforth. But this is
where Mr.. Meyer is to have a sur
prise, and this is the latest important
development in the fight between the
Secretary and Admiral Swift and the
line on one side and certain members
of the various corps on the other side.
Mr.. Meyer, in his statement before
leaving, announced that Capps had
rendered his resignation, which would
be accepted from October l, on which
date the chief constructor could take
advantage of the new 30-year service
law. The general impression gained
was that instead of being ousted sud
denly, as in the case of Paymaster
General Rogers, an understanding had
been reached whereby Capps would
tender his application for retirement
if allowed to remain chief until that
date.
Rumors crop up occasionally that
Secretary Meyer is to leave the navy
soon. either to be Secretary of State
or Secretary of the Treasury,in which
case Assistant Secretary Winthrop
probably would succeed him. Mr..
Winthrop, many persons believe. is
not wholly in sympathy with the
radical action of Secetary Meyer in
putting his system in force, and he
has the highest regard for Mr.. Capps.
Members of the Senate Naval Com
mittee, who were not consulted by Mr..
Meyer in ousting Rogers and Capps,
are understood to favor an investiga
tion of the whole subject next winter,
with the idea of embarrassing the
Secretary.
Since Capps is known to have their
support, Mr.. Meyer is not likely to
refuse to give him assignments be-
coming his rank.

QUESTION OF NEW ROAD
County commissioners Appoint
Commission To Determine
Upon Route For The
ThrOughiare
HIGH COST FOR RIGHT OF WAY
Causes Abandonment OF Original Course
South River Ferry Ready

The question of the proposed new
road in the Fourth district again drew
considerable attention of the County
Commissioners at the Board meeting
on Tuesday.
This matter has been up for sew
eral weeks, the original proposition
being to cut new thoroughfare in
the district from Woodwardsville,
leading to Laurel, Prince Georges
county, but owing to the high prices
asked by certain land owners for
rights of way through their property.
this idea has been practically aban-
doned and another route has been sug-
gested.
The commission appointed at the
time, composed of Messrs. John
Bowie, w. II. Brown and B. f. Zin-
norman, have been directed to deter
mine and lay off new route between
the two places named, and a public
meeting will be held on the premises,
they will give due notice of the date
and time, of said meeting, in order
that the taxpayers interested may
meet them. The commission has been
directed to report to the County Com
misioners as early as possible, after
the matter is adjusted.
The County Treasurer has been di-
rected to pay over to Mr. Owen Lewis,
caretaker of the County Home, a sum
of money necessary to defray railroad
and steamer fare and expenses for an
inmate at the County Home, from
Annapolis to his home on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. Mr.. Lewis will
accompany the inmate as far as Bal
timore and see that he is placed
aboard a steamer
The Clerk was directed 20 notify
the War Department that the scoW
recently constructed for the South
River Ferry in accordance with an
act of the last Legislature, is com
pleted and ready for the Federal in
spection. Pending this inspectio n
operation of the ferry is delayed.
The following insolvencies were
granted: Harry Harvey and David
r. Steele, of the Fifth district, on a
basis of SO, 600 for 1909; The Monarch
Supply Company. of the Fifth dis
trict, on a basis of 5000 for 1908 and
1909; F. w. H. Brehm, of the
First district, $456 for 1909.
The requisition of the Road Engi-
neer for the following lumber for re
pairs of the Severn River bridge,
was granted: One thousand feet of
3xS-22 and 1000 feet of 3x1O-22.
IMr w. H. Woodward, of the Fourth
district, was before the Board in ref
erence to certain road work in his
district The matter was referred to
Commissioner Pumphrey and the
County Engineer.
Mr.. C. B. Carr has resigned as con
stable for the Second district. Mr..
Carr was only appointed last week,
but found it impossible to serve.

the City Council will hold special

THE LUCKY WINNER
MIR. GuienOt Draws Number That Gives
Him Motor Boat

Mr.. Philip Guienot was the lucky
winner of the motor boat at the draw
ing held last night at the Colonial
Theatre.
Tne drawing was under the auspices
of Independent Fire Company No. 2.
The tickets to the number of 4SI were
shaken together and put into a box,
and We're drawn by Master Edward
Russell, the young son of Mr.. George
w. Russell, Chief Clerk at the City
Postoffice. The judges were DR..
James d. Feldmeyer, Mr.. John 7.
Jefferson and Mr.. John Nj. Green.
The lucky number drawn was 4I6,
held by Mr.. Guienot, who had only
one ticket, while several others had
several tickets and some purchased
whole books of tickets. The irony of
fate or good luck, is that Mr.. Guie-
not already owns a motor boat. The
No. 2 Independent Fire Company pur-
chased this motor boat of the Cleve-
land, Ohio, Auto-Craft Company, by
whom the boat was made. 1t meas
ures II l-2 feet in length, is feet
beam and seats eight people.
The boat runs eight miles an hour
and is equipped with a horsepower
Ferro engine. The boat cost $1S6,
delivered here. The drawing for the
boat was in line of the work of the
volunteer firemen to raise funds for
the support of the fire company, for
which an appropriation is made of
50, 700, but the cost of maintenance
of which is $4,100. 1t, therefore,
becomes necessary for each of the-vol-
unteer fire companies to make effort
throughout the year to raise funds to
supply the needs of equipment. ap-
paratus and general running expen.
Ses.
The many friends of No. 2 Inde-
pendent Fire Company took an ac-
tive and material interest in the
drawing and are gratified at the
results
