A MEAN THIEF
Steals Salvation ARMY Box From City
Drug Store

There are thieves and thieves, but
perhaps the meanest and most con-
scienceless is he who stole the Saliva
tion Army box from the counter of
FeIdmeyer's City Drug Store.
A few days ago one of the corps
Of workers of the Salvation Army
came to town to make the usual col.
lection of deposit boxes from differ
ent stores and other places, and the
one which had occupied place on
the cigar counter of Feldmeyer's
Main street drug store for several
years was found missing.
The little coin receptacle, which
helps to provide cheer about Christ
mas time and other seasons of the
year for the poor and destitute, with
a quantity of change in it, had been
seen on the counter just a day or
two before, but that it had been
stolen, which was undoubtedly the
case. was astounding to the proprie-
tor of the store, who has since been
making constant inquiry with the
view Of locating the thief.
A man said: "One who would
steal a Salvation Army bank, what
would he do if he caught you
asleep?"

A VERY BUSY MAN
The Surgeon Al Naval Hospital NNals
0cc, pied With His Patien,s

Probably there is no officer attach

within the environments Of Uncle

who is quite so busy as the naval
surgeon, DR. l.. J.. Won Wiedekind.
U. S. N, who is in charge of the
patients now at the Naval Hospital
DR.. Won Wiedekind is a very busy

ing nicely and a number are far on
the road to recovery. which they owe
to a skillful surgeon s undivided care
and attention, and to faithful nurses.
1t is feared that Surgeon Won Wied
ekind has sacrificed his own health
for that of his patients, refusing. as
he does, to leave the hospital until
It's patients are well, and that the
long confinement and physical strain
may tell on the surgeon, but he de-
clares he is we'll as ever, though n

just the same. The Naval Hos

one of the best equipped Of It's

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Detail OF Business Transacted By Meet.
ing OF The Board

notwithstanding the inclement
weather, fair number of members
put in an appearance last night and
some good work was accomplished
with President w. f. Feldmeyer in

After the transaction of routine
business, the discussion as to :the al
teration of the constitution of the
Chamber with respect TO the Office of
recorder was adjourned on the pro-
posal of Mr.. r. L. Moss until the

of what is being done in other towns.

ties, and committee was formed to
cooperate with the secretary and
prepare booklet suitable for mail
ing to enquirers and others and deal
ing briefly with the advantages of
Annapolis and its environs as busi-
ness. farming and residential center.
The Chamber would be glad to have
some new recruits from among those
who have the best interests of the
city at heart. and the secretary will
be pleased to hear from anyone who
would care to become member.
There is infinite possibility for good
in an organization such as this and
although the actual results are not
always Immediately apparent, there
is no doubt that an organized body of
public opinion such as this Chamber,
must have its influence felt both
directly and indirectly in the affairs,
not only of the city, but also in those
of far wider field.
A deputatiun of the Chamber left
this morning for Washington to take
part in the proceedings of the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which has as its object the obtaining
from Congress of fixed annual con-
tribution of at least $50, 900, 600 to-
wards the deepening and otherwise
improving the coastwise navigation
facilities of our seaboard, in which
undoubtedly Annapolis will eventual

always being done and only those
who regularly attend the meetings

of the amount of good that is
actually accomplished, for such of

CUSTOMS COST TOO MUCH
President Tafl Would Have Office OF
Collector Al Annapolis Abolished

Citing the Annapolis office as an
instance, President Taft, in his mes
sage to Congress yesterday, strongly
urges that the smaller port collector
ships be abolished
He recommends the consolidation
of customs districts so as to abolish
the customs houses at unimportant
points. AS instances, he cites the
fact that it costs the Government
$309.41 cents to collect one dollar of
customs at Annapolis, and Sl22.49
to collect each dollar at Alexandria,
Va.
The methods used at many places
are archaic he says. He suggests
that the Surveyor of the Port, who
really acts for the Collector, be
made a subordinate Of the Collector
at less salary, and he finds but
little reason for the existence of
the Naval officer, who is a kind Of
local auditor. He recommends
that the position of Naval officer be
abolished or else made part Of the
general auditing system.
