SHAKE-Up- p-IN=LlNE-UP
MILDLY Team Given Stiff Practice Yes.
terdav Afternoon And Many Changes
Noted Ia Line And BackfieId


That the coaches have not by any
means settled upon what is the best
combination for the Navy's varsity
aggregation was clearly indicated on
Worden Field during the practice
period yesterday afternoon, and that
several changes are liable before the
Washington and Jefferson game on
Saturday is most likely.
So shifted about were the players
that it was difficult matter to de-.
termine between the varsity and
scrub team. On the even run by Err
win, at quarter were two plebes
ends, Brown and Gilchrist, PLAYING
against Cobb and Elmer, who are vet
Grams of last seasons battles. Then
Wakeman had returned to the line
and replaced Wright at guard, while
in this same supposedly varsity ag-
gregation, Anderson, the big baseball
pitcher, was playing center with
Weems shifted to the second team.
The coaches gave the team with
Anderson and Wakeman in the line
stiff bit of work in defensive tac-
tics, forcing them to kick as soon as
receiving the ball and then defend
their goal against the steady rushing
plays of the opposing side. In this
attack bright star, both at running
the team and at carrying the ball,
was McReavy, the plebe who has
been attracting favorable comment.
Shaw, who also was given a chance
at quarter, did well, as did Callahan,
who was tried out at half back or
the hustler team with Clay as a run.

RESERVES DECISION
Judge Morris Holds Under Con-
sideratiOn Annapolis EIec-
tiOn Law Cases
Mr.. MELVIN FOR REGISTRARS
Argues That Whatever Right Negro Plain
tiffs Have, II ANY Is Against State
To Have Law NulIified And
Not Against Individuals In
ArfiOu For DamaOpS
Action For Damages

Action For Damages
Probably the most important cases
that have arisen for many years
affecting Annapolis are the cases
which were concluded in argument
yesterday in the United States Court
in Baltimore, an account of which
has already been published in the
Evening Capital, involving the statute
of Maryland which prescribes the
qualifications for voting at municipal
elections in Annapolis.
If the law is sustained, it will have
the effect of confining the electorate
to white voters, in so far as this
city's elections are concerned. The
arguments by the distinguished coun.
sci who Eappeared on both sides of
these cases attracted much attention
in Baltimore city and elsewhere, and
the decision of Judge Morris, before
whom the cases were argued, is
awaited with great interest.
One of the strongest arguments in
the cases was that made by Ridgely
P. Melvin, Esq, of Annapolis, who
is the counsel of record for Messrs.
Myers and Kalmey, who were made
defendants because they were the
Democratic registers of voters ap-
pointed under the law in question.
Mr.. Melvin contended that the de-
PENDANTS, Messrs. Myers and Kalmey,
are not liable in damages, as claim
ed, because in denying the plaintiffs
the right to register they were acting
simply in the honest exercise of their
duty in carrying out this State law,
and that if the plaintiffs have any
right at all it is against the State, or
its officers, as such, to have nullified
the State law and not against the
registration officers as individuals for
damages; because whatever right the
negro plaintiffs have is given by the
Fifteenth Amendment to the United
States Constitution, and that their
cause of action, if any exists, is
directed against the State, or its Off
GERS, as such, and not against indi-
viduals for faithfully carrying out
the said law.
Mr.. Melvin pointed out that, even
conceding that the plaintiffs conten-
tions are correct; they cannot sue
ceed in these cases, because of the
Federal Constitution has been vic
lated, as claimed, these suits should
be in the nature of an attempt to
have the law declared nullity and
not private action against indi-
viduals for honestly doing their
duty in carrying out the law under
which they were appointed and which
prescribes severe penalties for their
failure to do so.
Judge Morris reserved his decision,
and it is awaited with much interest,
not only in Annapolis, but through
out the South.

Fifteenth Amendment the words
Citizens of the United States, we
are bound, under the decision re-
ferred to, to conclude that it was
only right to vote of citizens of the
United States as such that was be.
ing dealt with by the amendment"
Mr.. Marbury followed former At
torney-General Charles j. Bonaparte
and Mr.. Edward H. Cans, counsel
for the three negroes, who allege
that they were unlawfully refused
registration by the registers. Mr..
Bonaparte, who began speaking Mon
day, continued yesterday by asserting
that the Fifteenth Amendment ap-
piled to all elections. 1t was the
duty of the registers, he said, to con-
strue the Annapolis law subject to
the Fifteenth Aendment, and as they
failed to discharge that duty and put
the names of the negroes on the
boos they are responsible to { he
negroes in damages.
With the printed brief of the other
side in his hand, Mr.. Cans took up
and replied to most of the conten-
tions set out there. Eve know this
Annapolis law was intended to dis
criminate against the negro, he
said, land it was hailed all over the
State as an ingenious piece of mech.
anism. by which the negro was got
rid of. From time to time the Su.
preme Court has decided that the
effect of the Fifteenth Amendment is
to cut the word white from the
State constitutions, and for anyone
TO say now that it is all wrong brings
about an academic discussion"
Judge Morris reserved his decision

Prescott Journal-Miner.)

In the opinion of J. H Morrison. m,liwright. who returned yesterday rom the camp of the Young Mines company at Goldfield. the Mammoth mine is destined to develop into one of the big gold producers Of Ari- zona.

FL PASO, Nov 21:-With the en and a steer met in a hand to horr combat about I4 m.les out Of Fl Paso as Sunday nights Drummer's Specia paused oa the E. Paso & Southwest ern T ght of way to see the fight As regards injuries. the man go quite the best of it. but as for falls the steer came out victor.
 Just as the mixed train had passed Marathon Engineer Andy Struther saw the form of a Texas long horr d rectly in front of his engine. Instinc lively the engineer threw on the brakes. and Mir. Steer galloped safe distance ahead of the engine. The engine and train proceeded slowly and the steer ran on between tn tracks.
 Fl nglesmith. better known as Doc rose up in ail the manly glory of his six feet three and said: "Lemme at 'im." The engine was stopped and the fireman sallied forth to meet tn animal In cowboy fashion the maj grabbed the steer by the tail. and at tempted pretty throw" But the animal wheeled quickly. and butter the aggressor fair in the breast Dow went the man with the steer on top
 It appeared 10 those on the train that the gallant fireman surely would be gored. But not so. A booted foot shot cut, and landed on large, brown nose, and with a howl of pan the steer retreated. But without nor hesitation the animal charged again The fight had just begun.
 Twice was the steer thrown to the ground, once by gItp on either horn and once by twist of horn and leg. But three times was the man thrown to the ground At last the steer charged and catching Klinglesmith in the side sent the man flying through the air. and into the darkness of the siding. And then the animal cflarges the engine, once, tw.ce ramming tn pilot with a shatter of steel and horn At last the steer snorted a cr5 of victory and disappeared in the darkness. The big Fireman badly bruised but unshaken, climbed int the cab and the train proceeded.
 Those few who saw the fight say that it had any bull faht faded for 50 cross town blocks Klinglesmith only grinned. The steer has not beer interviewed.
