Washington is IN ,the clutches of a

For more than ten days no cargoes
have been received here from New Jer-
sey, Washington's chief source Of sup
ply for salt water fish, and the arrivals
from other places have been exceedingly

taken a jump that may top the high
cost Of all other foodstuTs.
There Is also a dearth OF fresh water
fish, and the markets are only scantily
supplied. The Potomac and other rivers
in the vicinity are yielding only small
quantities OF fish and these are COM

YOUNG BRIDE ILL
ARMY Officers Wife To III Too Leave On
Wedding Trip

Mrs. Julian Sommerville Hatcher,
who was married week ago tomor-
row, has been compelled to postpone
her wedding trip because of illness.
Mrs. Hatcher, before her marriage
to Lieutenant Sommervile Hatcher, of
the United States Coast Artillery
Corps, was Miss Eleanor Dashiell, of
this city. Mrs. Hatcher, day or
two before the date set for her mar
riage, suffered an attack of ptomaine
poisoning.
Although i'll on the day set for the
ceremony, she gamely refused to con-
sent to postponement or any
change of plans, but got up from her
sick bed to participate in the formal
wedding at St. Anne's Church, which
was attended by all of the Annapolis
and Naval Academy social set. After
the ceremony her condition forbade
any thought of the planned tour, and
the young bride has since been con-
fined to her room.
Lieutenant Hatcher was granted ex-
tended leave of absence from Fort
Monroe and is still in this city with
his bride, whose condition is slowly
improving. Mrs. Hatcher is reported
much better today.

SHOT HIMSELF FOR DOGS
Unique Experience OF COlOred Delivery
Man For Butcher Shop

A young colored man employed by a
West street meat store, was deliver
ing orders recently when he met with
an unusual accident. He was deliv-
ering an order at the house where
there were several dogs, when he
was attacked by three fierce dogs two
being bull dogs, which were doubtless
hungry and scented the meat in the
basket.
He tried to beat the dogs off, but
was unsuccessful. Realizing TIE pre-
dicament he was in, and thinking to
appease the appetites of the hungry
dogs, he threw the basket containing
the meat some feet away, and when
the dogs scrambled for IL and left
him alone, the colored delivery boy
drew from mis- pocket pistol and
attempted to shoot the dogs.
In his effort to shoot the vicious
CANNES, the colored man shot him.
self through the hand. He had the
wound dressed at the Emergency Hos
pital. but not until he had been chased
by Officer Jackson for some distance.
What the police authorities would
like to know is what was this colored
man doing carrying concealed
weapon. a direct violation of the law.

RILL HINDERS PRACTICE
Middies Coaches However Put SQUAD
Through Signal Drill With Some
Changes In Lineup

Although long drill kept the
members of the squad away from
the gridiron until late yesterday
afternoon, the Navy coaches put
their charges through a stiff bit of
signal drill. and marked the day
with an added change or two in the
makeup of the varsity eleven.
No scrimmaging was INDUCED in
but it is likely that a stiff bit of
work will be done every afternoon
this weke beginning this afternoon,
particular attention being paid to cor
recting the faults which were so
manifest in the game with Virginia
Polytechnic Institute on Saturday.
Yesterday saw Sowell given an
other try out at quarterback, although
his work so far has not amounted to
much. However, he may have the
making of first class quarter in
him, and if this be so the coaches
will do all possible to discover and
develop this.
A notable change in the back
field, however, was the changing of
Rhodes from fullback to left half
back, retiring Clay for the time and
putting Austin in at full. This in
creases the weight of the backfield
somewhat, but Clay has been playing
the best game of his career so tar
this season and is not likely to be
kept out of the regular lineup.
Two changes were made in the
line. Dickinson taking Cobb's place
at left end and Loftin being restored
to his old place at right tackle, from
which he was temporarily ousted by
Davis, fourth -classman. The
coaches made it clear that the team
is by no means settled as yet, and that
chanes may take place in any posi-
tion.
