THE VOTE UNCHANGED
Official Ballot Still Stands IS to GA
As Indicated By Returns
CHARGE VOTES WERE BOUGHT
Investigation 0n-Contest Not Serious
ly acknowledgements
Nominee Indignant

So far there is no change in the
vote cast at the primary election on
Tuesday, August 90 throughout the
State, and il is still 65 to Ga.
The Supervisors of Elections in
each of the twenty-three counties of
the State and in Baltimore city yes
terday began their official canvass of
the primary election returns. 1t will
take several days to complete this
work in Baltimore city, but it was
completed in most of the counties.
Nothing developed in the count to
indicate any change in the result as
heretofore announced, and the vote
for the Gubernatorial nomination still
stands at IS to Ga in favor of Senator
German.
1t is not known whether any at
tempt will be made by Senator Lee to
contest the election. He is saying
nothing at this time, and will not say
anything until the official count is in.
1t is not thought, however, that he
is seriously contemplating a contest
or that he has any desire to make any
trouble for his party. He is simply
waiting for the official count, and if it
makes no change in the result, it is
believed that he will be among the
first to offer his congratulations to Mr..
German. He was at his office in the
Union Trust Building, Baltimore, yes
terday and seemed in an exceedingly
cheerful frame of mind. Certainly he
is not crying over split milk, and he
seems neither cast down nor depress-
ed at the way things have gone.
Charges that money had been used
by the German forces in Dorchester
county to buy votes made yesterday
by former Judge w. Laird Henry,
who. with former Senator William F.
Applegarth, led the Lee fight in that
county, have figuratively stirred up a
hornets nest in the county.
Judge Henry said that he had no d.
rect evidence of money having been
used in Dorchester county by the
friends of Senator German, but that
he was convinced from what he saw
and heard that large amount of it.
was spent.
1.-THE other side will not deny it,"
he said. "They cannot deny it. 1t
is my firm opinion from what / saw

brought to me that money was freely

BOLD BAD BURGLAR
Robes Tom Lee Chinese Laundrym an
And Makes OFF With $50.
And Other Things

Some time between midnight and
dawn a bold, bad burglar. or several
of them, entered the Chinese laundry
of Tom Lee on Conduit street and
took away all things available, in
Guiding a large trunk containing a
quantity of clothes and a pocketbook
with over $50.
Early this morning the trunk was
found in the yard of the residence of
Dr. George Wells, on Charles street.
with its contents undisturbed. The
empty pocket book was found nearby,
from which the money had been ex-
tracted, about $50 in all.
The Chinaman has no clue to the
robbery. The thief entered through
a back window, the two Cinnamon
sleeping within five feet of the place.
When asked by a Capital representa-
tive how it was possible for any one
to enter so near and not be heard, es-
pecially when they removed a trunk
Tom Lee replied me Chinaman
sleepy too muchy," which in plain
English is supposed to mean they slept
too soundly.
The robbery is in the hands of the
police, but so far nothing has been ac-
complished in the way of apprehend-
ing the thief or thieves.

WOULD-BE MIDDIES REPORT
Fair Sized Increase in Membership of
The New Fourth Class Expected
by Tomorrow

Twenty young men who would be-
come middies in Uncle Sans Navy,
but who, in a physical way, were orig
inally found not up to the mark set by
the admission regulations, will get
another trial before the medical ex-
aiming board at the Naval Academy
today.
The youths, who after being found
unsatisfactory in their first physical
test, were given period of time be-
fore undergoing a re-eXamination,
were reporting at the Office of Super
intendent Gibbons all during this
morning. Most of their cases involv-
ed minor deficiencies and it is expect
cd that most of them will be accepted
by the medical board today.
The present membership Of the new
class at the Naval Academy is slight
ly over 225, and it is likely that
from the youths reporting today the
class will be swelled to about $50.

OLD PORTER PLACE SOLD
Valuable Estate on The Magothy River
Purchased By Mrs Rennert

Another valuable estate in the
county has been sold. The old Porter
place, one of the best known farms in
Anne Arundel county, has been pur-
chased by Mrs. Robert Rennert, of
Baltimore, from Nathan T. Porter,
of New York. The transaction was
made through Elmer C. Perkins.
The farm, which comprises about
IT'S acres, is on the north bank of
the Magothy river, opposite Dutch
Ship and Gibson Islands. 1t has
three miles of frontage on the river
and also touches on Broad, Gray and
Park creeks. About one hundred
acres of the land are in fine timber
oak, chestnut and pine-while the re-
mainder is in high state of cultiva-
tion.
The improvements include large
frame dwelling and number of out
buildings. Mr.. Porter, who is a we'll
known New York financier, bought
the place some years ago as a home
for one of his sons. Until purchased
bv Mr.. Porter the farm was owned by
the Jubb family.
Mrs Rennert, who is the widow of
Robert Rennert, the founder of the
Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, bought the
place as an investment. She will
shortly commission an engineer to lay
out the tract in villa sites. Lester
l.. Stevens represented Mr.. Porter.

sent back to Bergen to join the squad
ron.
According to the statements made
by the midshipmen, they went off into
the hills for a stroll, intending to re-
turn in time 10 catch the train, but
they strolled farther than they intend
ed. The result was that they return
ed ten minutes late.
They also claim that as their tickets
were good only on the excursion train
they could not use them on regular
trains and for this reason, knowing
they were delayed, they strolled off on
another walk. The records show they
did not telegraph to Bergen notifying
their superior of their failure to catch
the train.
When they missed their train and
walked off into the hills they claim to
have become lost and about midnight
came across a mountain shack in
which they went to sleep. According
to their statements, when they awoke
the next day they thought it was
morning, but were surprised to learn,
after walking some ditanee, that it
was afternoon. The middies had slept
a straight stretch of eighteen hours.
They were some twenty miles from
Finse. When they started out again,
instead Of returning to Finse, they
walked in the opposite direction until
/ driven from the. railway tracks by a
Waterman from whom they learned
they were moving away from instead
/ of toward Bergen.

WATER SUPPLY BOOSTED
Officials Of Water Company Say Recent
Rains Are Fast Storage Back

Officials of the Annapolis Water
Company said this morning in reply
to inquiries that conditions at the
reservoir were steadily improving, as
a result of the recent sustained rain
fall.
They intimated that it would not
be long now before the supply for
Annapolis consumers will be normal
both as to the supply from the flow
over the water sheds and as to the
amount in the storage reservoirs.
The long drouth which the present
wet spell has broken for time threat

the gunners were walking through the

the innocent little squirrel, of which
there seems to be an abundance this

NO VOTE BUYING HERE
Investigation Fails to Reveal Evidences
Of Illegal Use Of In Election

With the disclosures of former
Judge w. Laird Henry of alleged H.
legal use Of money for vote buying in
Dorchester county during the primary
election on last Tuesday, causing a
great deal of talk, close investiga-
tion in Anne Arundel county fails to
reveal any vote buying here during
the primary.
States Attorney Nicholas H. Green
this morning said that no complaints
had been made to him of the illegal
use of money. He added that any evil
dence of the commission of this of
Tense would be promptly followed up
in Anne Arundel and dealt with ac-
cording to law.
Not only was therc no vote buying,
but the amount Of money expended
for team hire and similar expenses in
getting out the vote as allowed by the
statutes, was very small.
