FUNERAL ON SUNDAY
Last Sad Rites Over Remains OF Con.
tractor Edward D. Skipper To BE
Held At ? O'Clock Oct. Q

The funeral of Edward d. Skipper,
age Al years, leading local contrac-
tor and builder, whose death occurred
yesterday afternoon at his residence
on Green street, will take place on
Sunday afternoon at ? o'clock from

participated in by the Annapolis Lodge
No. 622 B. p. o. Elks, Odd Fellows
and Jr. o. u. A. M, of this city, to
all of which the deceased belonged.
Edward d. Skipper was one of the
most progressive business men of An
napolis, and one of the best contrac-
tors and builders, and will be greatly
missed here in business circles. Sew
eral large and imposing structures
stand as monuments to his architec-
tural skill and ingenuity, among them
the handsome residence of Admiral
Knox, at Murray Hill, the beautiful
and substantial new High School
building, and several others.
Mr.. Skipper was a thorough bust.
ness man and was possessed of those
qualities that insure success. He was
a conscietious workman and always
gave the best and did his best when
awarded a contract. Annapolis can
i'll afford to lose men of Mr.. Shippers
type in the business world.
He is survived by widow. Mrs.
Elizabeth Crandal- -Skipper, his second
wife, his first wife having died some
years ago. Two children by the first
marriage survive, a son 9 years old
and daughter 13 years old. Much
regret is expressed throughout An
napolis at the death of so young and
valuable citizen. lie was a member
of the Chamber of Commerce and took /
an active interest in all that tended I
toward the towns progress and pros
perity.

SATISFACTORY PRACTICE HAD
Navy Squad Does Well in Work On Grid
iron Yesterday Afternoon - Halves
Tried Out

Excellent work by the numerous
candidates for the back field marked
the practice at the Naval Academy
yesterday afternoon, the first team
having the ball during the whole line
up and the scrubs playing purely on
the defensive.
The practice was under the direct
supervision of Field Coach Wheaton,
the Yale back of last season, and an
effort was made to test all of the
halfback candidates in plays which
depended largely upon their indi-
vidual work. Carey, the sprinter,
shone out particularly in this line
and made several dashing gains out
side of tackle.
Sowel also did good work. Mer-
ring, the oarsman, is still playing
at left guard and may make the
position permanently, as he is very
strong and has had three years ex-
perience on the squad and in a num-
Der Of match games. Brown, the
206-pound plebe, has been taken
from guard and is being played at
right end.

PARKERsBuRG, Dec. 19-The
dead body of James Biles, laborer.
was found early in the morning on
the aJulian street bridge across the
Little Kanawha river, literally
frozen to one of the upright iron
posts on the bridge, The verdict of
the coroner's jury was that Biles
was frozen to death. The mans
body when found was about to fall
into the river, a distance of fifty
feet or more. as the bridge is being
repaired and is close to traffic and
there was large hole in the floor.
His body was on the edge of the
opening, but one arm was frozen
fast to a steel girder and this pre-
vented the body from going into the
river.

west VIRGINIA INVITES
IMMIGRANTS TO FARMS
Prominent Wheeling Promo
ter Pays a Visit to the
i immigration Bureau.

WHEELING, Dec. 2O-west vir.
GINA has six million acres of avail
able agricultural lands which are
not titled and which would produce
ever dollars worth Of supplies need
ed within the state If they were
farmed. Last year more than $685.
100000 worth of garden truck was
imported into this state from other
states that could have been raised
here providing the farms were titled.
Strong efforts are now being made
by the State Board OF Trade to have
these millions of acres titled and
John Fl. Rennard, member OF
the State Board of Trade has just
returned home from Washington,
where he visited the immigration
bureau with view of securing data
on this subject to be presented al
the next meeting of the State Board
OF Trade. 1t is the idea of the board
to bring into this state to till these
farms and thus save the thirty-elght
millions that goes out of the state
yearly for food stuff.
Renard Talks.
Speaking of his trip to Washing
ton, Mr.. Rennard said: If we had
the people in this state we could
farm this land and save millions OF
dollars that the farmers of other
states are obtaining. West Virginia
should be exporting food stun in
stead of importing. There is room
here for hundreds of people and l
think the crusade being conducted
now by the board of trade Will be a
success. 1t is the incoming element
which is making America dts home,
which this state must look to recruit
its population
Mr.. Rennard stated that within
the next ten years he thought West
Virginia would increase even more
than it has in the last ten. The i'm
migration bureau at Washington IN
formed Mr.. Rennard, that they
would do everything in their power
to aid the state board OF trade in
carrying out the plan.
Assure Protection.
Another feature IN connection
with the solicitation of immigrants
to settle here is the effort that is be-
ing madeto assure newcomers of alb
solute protection from all fake bank
ing. institutions. Mr.. Fred Fox. who
has charge Of the foreign depart
ment of the Security Trust Company
is having literature printed in a
number of languages, furnishing in
formation regarding the banking in
stitutions of the state for the use OF
foreigners.
This literature is of great aid to
the incoming foreign element, tell,
ing them the best methods OF invest
ments and warning them against
INSCRIPTIONS persons who in the
past have tleeced the foreign popula-
ton out of large sums. Through
this method the board hopes to get
the foreigners to make this their
home and to invest their money in
West Virginia, instead of sending
thousands and thousands OF dollars
to the foreign countries each year.
Only the better foreign element will
be allowed to take charge of the
farm lands.
