COLORED FOLKS AFLOA1
The Steamer Annapolis Carries Her Full
Capacity And Leaves 200 Standing
On The Wharf

Today the colored population of
Annapolis was afioat, and practically
all who could get Off" did so, except
the two hundred who were left behind.
The steamer Annapolis, of the Toll
chester Company, pulled out from the
wharf this morning, foot of Prince
George street, heavily laden. She
carried her full capacity, and two hun
dred disappointed excursiouists were
left behind after the steamers quota
had been counted.
On account of being loaded, the
steamer, with 1000 aboard, pulled out
from the wharf a half hour earlier
than the tims advertised, and thereby
hangs soul-stirring story. All the
soft drinks and other good things in
/ cluding ice cream, cakes, etc., that
had been ordered, arrived at the wharf
after the steamer had left, because
she left half hour too soon, and the
| colored brothers and sisters who did
not go well supplied, will fall short
of refreshments.
1t was a disappointed two hundred
who stood gazing at the steamer al
she left, but some took the
woods with their picnic dinner, re
membering hereafter that first tC
come is the first to be served.

OFF FOR MADEIRA
Naval Academy Summer Squadron De-
lsyed By Indiana'S Accident

One day later than scheduled time,
the summer squadron Of the Naval
Academy sailed from Giraltar for Ma.
deira yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
Saturday the officers and men passed
quiet day. All were intent on pur-
chasing curios and souvenirs.
The midshipmen during their visit
at Gibraltar were seldom allowed
ashore. The health of everybody is
excellent, and the fine behavior of
the crews is much commented on.
There was no rowdiness or drunken
ness observed. Captain Clark took
leave of several prominent officials
Saturday.
Repairs to the Indiana's engines
We're carried out temporarily. The
breakdown is reported to have been
caused by an artifcer, who had been
at work on cylinder, forgetting his
tools in it. The cylinder was closed
when the work was finished, and the
forgotten tools caused much damage
between Marseilles and this place.
The occurrence was entirely acciden-
tai, but possibly may retard the speed

ADMIRAL'S son KNOWN HERE
Missing Alexander Rodgers Was a
Student AT Naval Academy

Many residents of Annapolis and
I the Naval Academy are interested in
/ the report from the Pacific Coast that
Alexander Rogers. son of Rear Ad-
miral John A. Rodgers, is missing
from the Bremerton navy yard, of
which his father is commandant.
Young Rodgers is well known in
this city. and in Washington and
Baltimore. For the major part of his
life he had made his home in Wash
ington, and while there he made fire.
quent trips to Baltimore, and on one
of them, it is said, he met one of Bal
timore's bellies. Sometime after this
he entered the United States Naval
Academy, and while here the young
lady visited him often. In his third
class year at the Naval Academy
much comment was caused by the at
tention he showed the girl, and he was
present with her at every hop and
social affair.
Near the end of his course, however,
his eyesight became defective, and
the physicians at the Academy were
forced to recommend that he be drop
ped. Shortly after he discontinued
his course and returned to Washing
ton, it was stated that he made fire.
quent trips to Baltimore to visit the
girl. His father was then ordered to
Puget Sound, and when he left Wash
ington young Rodgers went with
him. This was a little over a year
ago, and shortly after reaching the
coast the young man disappeared.
Since that time nothing has been
heard from him, and there has been
absolutely no clue to his whereabouts.
Mr.. Rodgers parents are distracted
over his absence, as he is their only
son, and they have exhausted all their
energy in an effort to locate him. Sew
eral days ago the admiral received
communication from little mining
town in Alaska that his son had been
seen there. At least, one of the resi- |
dents of the place thought that he had

THE SHIP BRAKE
H.: "a a. a---~' 'S'
OF Roosevelt Administration - Oh.
lection Raised

An interesting situation has been
created by the installation of the ship
brake on the sides of the u. S. S.
Indiana, which device was recently
subjected to official trial was an in
herited requirement from the Roose-
welt admins tration. Mr.. Roosevelt
took lively interest in the ship
brake, which is the invention of a Ca
adian, and evidently had great faith
in the efficacy of that mechanism.
The trial consisted of conducting
the Indiana at various rates of speed
and operating the brake so as to de-
termine whether it would sufficiently
arrest the progress of the ship to
warrant its adoption or whether it
wouldiimpart any disadvantage to the
existing facilities for turning the
ship. The report of the board which
conducted the test was not in favor
of the adoption of the ship brake for
vessels of the Navy. 1t was not con-
sidered of sufficient Importance in any
respect, when the additional weight
and the corresponding sacrifice in fuel
were taken into account.
The firm which installed the ship
brake placed itself under bond to
stand the expense of installation and
removal. 1t has been estimated that
the cost of the experiment to those
who were interested in the demon
stration was not far from $40, 600. Il
now appears that the suggestion ha:
been made that the ship brake be al
lowed to remain on the Indiana ant
that the government purchase th'
equipment. 1t is believed there vii
be objection to this proposition anc
even to the suggestion that the gov
enment defray the cost of the install
lation, since the original agreemen
contemplated no cost to the govern
ment
