FINE SHOOTING AT RANGE
Former Mayor DOuw OF Annapolis Hits
The Bulls Eve With Startling Re.
guIarity

I'm the work at the State Rifle
Range near Glen Burnie, in which
the candidates for places on the Mary
land militia team that is to go to
Camp Perry, Lieut.. John dep. Douw
former Mayor of Annapolis, and at
present a member of the Board of
County Commissioners, is doing him
self proud, and making the best of
them hustle.
There was a great fight yesterday
over the 1000 yards range in which
Lieutenant Douw took first place in
the individual aggregate with 1876
points.
The skirmish run was made in
three relays, it being an exhausting
ordeal under the merciless sun. 1t
was in this final stage that stamina
and training asserted themselves.
Lieutenant Douw made score of SO,
two less than a possible, hitting the
little pasteboard man in the head Is
times and in the body twice in 20
shots.
This is little short of phenomenal
when it is considered that the 20
shots must be loaded and fired in two
minutes and fifty seconds between
100 yard runs, from the 600 to the
200-yard firing points.
This skirmish gave Lieutenant Douw
a clear lead of II points for first
place in the match, and he can safe
ly start packing his trunk for Camp
Perry.

RAISING THE MAINE
Error In The Act OF Congress PosIponss
The Beginning OF The Work

The work of raising the wreck of
the battleship Maine. which has been
in Havana harbor twelve years, may
be delayed by new obstacle discov-
cred by Brig. General William H..
Bixby, Chief of Army Engineers.
Congress at it's recent session made
two appropriations for the work of
raising the battleship. The first act.
which was approved on Nav 9, pro-
vided that 1.-The Secretary of War and
the Chief of Engineers are hereby
authorized and directed to provide
with all convenient speed for the rails
ing or removal of the wreck of the
battleship Maine from the harbor of
Havana and for the proper interment
of the bodies therein in Arlington
Cemetery"
This act carried with it an appro-
priation of 100000 Shortly after
the passage the army engineers re-
ported that 500, 900 was not sufficient
to even make proper start and an
item of 100000 was inserted in the
urgency deficiency bill. The clause
making provision for this appropria-
tion set forth that it should be ex-
pended for raising or removing the
wreck of the Maine Gin accordance
with the provisions of the act ap-
proved May 10, 1910" The act re-
ferred to was approved May ., and
not May 10.
1t was clearly the intention of
Congress to refer to the act of May
8, but the War Department officials
have formally decided that nothing
can be done until the Attorney-Gen-
eral officially sets forth whether or
not the 100000 shall be considered
as applying to the $1,000 600 already
appropriated by the act of May .. A
palpable typographical error has been
made, but the War Department wants
an opinion on it and has referred the
matter to the Department of Justice.
The act also instructed the chief
of engineers "to provide" for rails
ing the Maine. General Bixby wants
to know whether this authorize
tion refers only to the preliminary
work, or whether under it he may
lawfully begin the actual operation
of raising the sunken battleship.

ONE GOES-ONE COMES
A Fourlh-CIassmans Resignation Is Ac-
cepted And Almost ImediateIy Another
is Sworn In

After having been in the Academy
once as a member of last years
fourth class, 'bilging" out and get
ting another try, young Douglas b.
Robin was today forced to once more
give up his attempts to become a
MILDLY.
The young man, whose home is in
Big Rapids, Mich, entered the Acad-
emy the last time on May 10 last and
finding too many dement's piling up,
determined to once more tender a
resignation. The resignation was &C.
cepted today.
With the departure of young Robin
the membership of the new fourth
class did not lower in point of mem.
bership as today another youth was
admitted after having passed both
the mental and physical tests. The
new MILDLY is Bainbridge Reynolds,
of Portsmouth, Va.

weeks on the grounds Of The old

arrival of the nearly two-score camp

the grounds for two weeks.

Congressman Ames demonstrated
his machine for about two hours TO
the members Of the board, and also to
Commander Walter F. Wcrthington,
who is head of the naval experiment
tai station here. Every phase of the
machine was shown TO the naval Off
GERS, and the cylinders were revolved
by means of an electric motor. No
attempt was made to demonstrate its
power in lifting.
= The name aerocycle" has practi-
cally been accepted for this type of
aircraft. The name aeroplane" is
entirely a misnomer, as there are no
planes about il The elevation is to be
regulated by the speed of the cylin-
ders, while the propeller will have
the function of driving it forward
only. 1t is claimed for the ne type
that it is much less complicated than
the aeroplane type and that it is con-
siderably smaller than one of the
same lifting force.
II is also claimed that it is very
stable and that it is safe because in
the event Of the stoppage of the en-
CINE the air will catch inethe pockets
of the cylinders, causing them to pc
volve and the machine to glide easily
to the ground.
Very little that is spectacular is
likely to be yielded by the tests, but
they will be sufficient to show wheth-
er or not the application of the curved
ball principle to machines for the nav
igation of the air is likely to be sue
cessful.

plate or field his position. Well
came in finally and only allowed
two runs. Hits after hits rained in
the field while careless plays and
loose work was handed the specta-
tors.
Sorrell was too much for the boys,
especially as they seemed all out OF
the game that afternoon. Sorrel]
also landed two two-baggers and a
single. He blanked the locals until
the ninth when Thornton's and

runs.
The game was listless and on the

Aviator to be in GreenyiiIe.

Charles F. Willard, the we'll known

May 18th, the day before the day set
for the Oratorical contest, and much
interest is being taken in the matter by
the people of surrounding territory.
Mr.. Curtis has a more powerful ma
chine than any use in the flights in
Memphis recently and a large runway
has been constructed for the purpose Of
his fight. Reduced rates will be made
on all railroads effective from the 18th
inclusive and it is likely that a large
