TEACHERS LONG CANOE TRIP
Two New York Young Women Paddle
Nearly To Baltimore

After padding all the way from
New York to Betterton in 15-tpot
canoe, two school teachers of Man
haitian have abandoned their plan to
row the whole distance to Baltimore
and went Wednesday evening on a
steamer. They will spend sometime
with relatives. They have shipped
their canoe home by express, to-
gether with rifles, camping outfit
and accessories.
The young adventurous women are
Miss Laya Maschat. % year old. q
swimming teacher in Public School
No. 81, Manhattan. who lives at Bath
Beach, and Miss Pauline Steinberg,
"a years old, an Erasmus High School
teacher, who lives in Elizabeth,
n. ].
They padded the distance to Bet
terton without a great deal of trouble
by way Of the canals, for both are
athletic expert swimmers and lovers
of outdoor life. Tuesday night they
entered the head of the Chesapeake
Bay from Bear creek, coming out of
+ TX River, and surprised the natives
by Bleaching on the sand just in front
of the hotels. They are sunburned
and blistered, but declare they had a
fine outing.
cit was simply gorgeous coming
down the canal said Miss Stein
berg. I'VE started out to go all the
way to Baltimore. but we've been
persuaded to give it up and we're GO
ing to ship our canoe back and make
the rest of the trip on a steamer "

ing the completion of a forward pass
or kick. A forward pass is not legal
if the ball crosses a line 20 yards in
advance of the spot where it was put
in play before touching the ground
or player.
In the case of a kick, the players
on the defense within the 20-yard
none must not interfere with the
ends, or other players, in any way
until their opponents have advanced
20 yards beyond the line of scrim-
mage.
Interlocked interference that is.
players of the side having the ball
taking hold of each other or using
their hands or arms to grasp their
team mates in any way. is forbidden,
and it is also forbidden for any
man on the side having possession of
the ball to push or pull in any way
the man running with the ball.
Another innovation is to be noted
in regard to substitution of players
during a game. a rule has been
passed which provides that a player
who has been removed for any cause
except disqualification or suspension
may be returned TO the game once
at the beginning Of any subsequent
period.
The longitudinal lines formerly
marking the field are done away with,
as the quarterback may now cross the
line of scrimmage at any point.

THE FAST MAIL" GETS MAD
Mail Carrier From AruHdel-O n-The. Bay
Refuses To Serve-0ther Provisions


Refuses To Serve Other Provisions
Friction between the postmistress
at Arundel-on-the-Bay and the mail
carrier caused trouble pure and simple
yesterday afternoon, and a delay of
the departing mail from the bayside
resort.
The mail is supposed to leave
Arundel at 4 o'clock, and the post
mistress, Mrs. Tyler, is supposed to
deliver the mail sack to the carrier,
Isaac Isaacs, at that hour. The mail
carrier appeared on the scene at the
Arundel postoffice yesterday after
noon a little ahead of time, and the
postmistress asked him to wait a
few minutes. This he positively re-
fused to do, and got huffy about it,
declaring be would not carry the mail
to town and he did not.
The postmistress locked the mail
sack and despatched her nephew on
horseback to the Annapolis postoffice
with the Arundel mail. 1t seems
rather a strange occurrence that the
mail carrier could not wait few
minutes at the Arundel postoffice,
when he has time to turn his horse
out to grass and often walks to town
with the Arundel mail.

HARMON NOT TO GO
Young Plebe Who Was Recon-
mended For Dismissal By
Superintendent BOwyer
To Remain A MILDLY
DEPARTMENTAL ACTION
Washington Authorities Refuse To Ap.
prove Recommendation Made MANY
Weeks AgO-ActiOn Causes
Comment

How completely the Navy Depart
ment has changed its attitude toward
Capt John M. Bowyer, and his ad-
ministration of affairs at the Naval
/ Academy was again demonstrated,
with the announcement here this
morning that the officials at Wash
ington had disapproved the recon-
mendation made from the Academy
for the dismissal of Midshipman John
Thomas Harmon, of Staunton, Va.
Young Harmon's offence, as viewed
from the standpoint of Captain Bow
yer and his assistants, was a serious
one, and for this reason an excep-
tionally deep investigation was made
by court of inquiry appoii ted by
Captain b. Syer. After this inquiry
had been completed and the board $
report made, Harmon was recon-
mended for DISMISSAL the char les be-
ing characterization and the making
of false official report in tie mat
ter
The young middy's trouble oc-
Cured shortly after his admission to
the Academy as member of the new
fourth class in June. Since that
time the papers have been in WASH
ngton, and 1t is intimated that there
was much political wire-pulling and a
great deal of influence brought to bear
at Washington to prevent the ap-
prevail of the recommendation of the
Academy authorities. If this be
true it accomplished the desired OBJ
ject as the departmental approval
was withheld and young Harmon re-
mains at the Academy to continue
his course.
What is back of the change of heart
at the Navy Department regarding
the administration of affairs at the
Academy is mystery, but it is re.
membered that when Captain Bowyer
assumed the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
institution. practically a public an
nouncement was made that the recon-
mendations coming from him and his
academic board would be final and
that the wire-pulling and holding up
of recommendation which had ex-
hibited before were things of he
past.
Thirty-five or forty midshipmen
have been dropped or dismissed under
his recommendations although efforts
were made by friends of the middies
involved to stave off such action.
However, all efforts at reinstate-
ment were useless, but there is
strong expectation here now that
with the Change in things at Wash
ington a food of petitions for re-
instatement or a reopening of their
cases will come from those who have
been fired during Captain Bowyer's
administration.

The Rev. James L. Smiley, of this
/ city, assistant to the rector of ST.
/ Anne's, was yesterday reelected
Counsellor of the Esperanto Capital
Division, comprising Maryland, Vir-
GINA, the District of Columbia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Delaware at the
congress now in session at Washing
ton.
Mr.. Smiley who is one of the lead
ers of the Esperantists in Maryland,
has taken a prominent place in the
world congress at Washington, as has
Rev. Paul f. Hoffman, of Baltimore,
versal meeting.
The Maryland Esperantists have
been active in the gatherings of the
congress and are more enthusiastic
than ever over the prospect for the
language in all the states of their di-
vision. Mr.. Smiley, upon visitation
to the Methodist campmeeting at
Great Falls, took the opportunity to
speak about Esperanto and aroused
much interest IN the language.
Ever since the distribution of the
congress book yesterday delegates
have been admiring the cover design,
which was made by Earle S. Suther-
land, of Baltimore. Mr.. Sutherland
has received many compliments upon
his work. Among the contributors to
the book are Rev. Paul F. Hoffman,
of Baltimore; his father, DR.. Carl
Hoffman, of Hollins, Va, and Rev.
James L. Smiley, of this city.
The Esperantists were special
guests yesterday afternoon at the
Washington-Detroit baseball game
and at concert by the Marine Band.
Several notable speeches were made
last night, the most important being
that of DR.. w. J. Spillman on "Visi-
BILE Language. He suggested that
an international alphabet might be
utilized for Esperanto. The new sys-
tenn is called visible. speech because
the characters not only express any
sound that the human voice is cap
able of making, but also tell the read
er how to make the same sound him.
self The alphabet will also indicate
pitch and tone of voice, rapidity of
utterance, the emphasis to be placed
on phrases and the accent for sylla-
bles.
Thus when a student has mastered
visible speech, with its aid he is not
only able to pronounce Esperanto at
sight, but any other language as
we'll, even if he has never heard it
spoken. This alphabet was invented
by Prof. Alexander Melville Ball.
The delegates also informally visited
the Bureau of American Republic
Buildings, of which Hon. John Bar
rett, who is president of the North
American Esperanto Association, is
director.
A meeting of the international
Esperanto Congress was held, at
which the aims of the congress were
discussed by Rev. Paul Hoffman, of
Baltimore, DR.. B. F. Schubert, of
Washington, and George Warner, of
Paris

"THROWING HEAVY LINE"
Superintendent Bower Organizes New
Sport For Midshipmen

To the average person who visits
q smoke-belching steam-propelled
warship of modern times the need of
the picturesque sailorman of the old
brigades who handled ropes and spars
seems gone, but naval officers know
better, and Superintendent Bowyer,
of the Naval Academy, has hit upon
novel plan for instructing Jack Tar
through teaching the middies trick
with ropes and making them enjoy
the instruction.
He has had placed upon the pro-
gram of the middie's field and track
meets an event known as throwing
the heaving line, and young future
admirals have taken to 1t like ducks
to water. Said an officer connected
with sports at the Academy: I'm
throwing rope to tow or warping
a ship into dock we often find that
many Of the sailors do not know how
to heave the small line that carries
the big hawser, and several casts have
TO be made.

and imports between the two countries
was $47,O00,OOO. Last year the fig
ures reached s66,OO0,OOO, while this
year the total will exceed $4,000, 900.
Germany and Great Britain will con-

will soon get its full share of the
business of the most progressive of
