DANGER OF AIR RIFLES
Little Girl Shot In Leg..Lady
Shot Over Eye--CatS Maim.
ed, Chickens Shot
WINDOWS SHATTERED
Let Parents Be Fined And Children Pun.
ished For Careless Use OF Weanons

A few days ago The Capital COM
mented upon the danger of air rifles
in the hands of thoughtless boys in
town who bad received the guns for
Christmas gifts.
Boys in town were cited as obie cts
of cruelty inflicted upon cats that
they ruthlessly shot at but did not
kill. These days, one can scarcely
walk fifty yards without seeing dead
cats, dead birds, and if in the sub
urbs, dead chickens AMI manned
dogs shot by boys who received
gums for Christmas presents.
If Santa Claus brought any boy
in town or county gun, then Santa
should be punished, and parents of
boys who shoot people, and DESTROY
property should be made to pay fines
for same, and their children punished,
Yesterday what might have been
very serious accident occurred at
Eastport, where, it is said, there is
scarcely boy in the village who
did not get an air rifle for Christmas
gift.
Mr.. a. c. Braun, of Eastport, while
seated in his home yesterday after
noon, corner Severn avenue and Fifth
street, heard his daughter Elsie,
who was on the sidewalk, scream.
He thought the child had been bitten
by dog and ran out to her imme-
diately. On reaching the child Mr..
Braun found her crying piteously
with with wounded leg. The child
had been shot in the leg and was
suffering pain from the injury.
Some unknown boy in the vicinity
had probably aimed at a cat or bird
and shot the child. A few days ago
Mrs. Harry Cole was standing in her
front door in the afternoon waiting
for her husband to come from the
store, not far away, when she sudden
ly felt sting on her forehead above
the right eye and putting her hand
up to her head found it covered with
blood. She had been shot by an air
rifle and piece of flesh nipped out
just over her right eye. Had the shot
hit little lower it would have prob
ably destroyed the sight of that eye.
These things are only few of
many instances of the careless
handling of rifles by children who,
with their parents, should be held
responsible for such acts, and parents
should be fined and children punish
ed. The gift of gun of any kind
to child is dangerous, and when
the shot strikes home, the givers of
such dangerous weapons will come to
their senses.
Mr.. Braun, in his haste to reach
his daughter, fell and sprained his
ankle and is now confined to his
home, and it will be several weeks
before be will be able to walk.

THINGS DOING
Phil OTIS Eogagem ent Began Last Night
At The Colonial Theatre

There will be things doing every
instant while Phil. Otis Comedians
are here at the Colonial Theatre, for
an engagement which began last
night, presenting number of high
class musical comedies, in which the
amusing situations fairly run riot.
These productions were all written
especially for Phil Utt by the cele-
brated playwright, Matthew OFT,
who, being Phil's brother, knows eX-
actly how to make every line fit his
(Phil's) peculiar characteristics as a
comedian. Consequently every pro-
gram is a distinct production not only
equal to but in many respects sur
passing most of the shows playing at
high prices.
The cordial receptions everywhere
is an indication that the time is ripe
for just this kind of a show wherein
the action is swift, comedy crisp
yet clean, the dances pretty and the
music meloiious. The whole pune
tuated at frequent intervals by the
introduction of a lot of wholesome
looking young chorus ladies, whose
dance, marches and poses materially
add to the beauty of these excel
lent attractions.
Make no mistake. Don't confound
this with the regulation dramatic
company. Phil Otis Comedians
present musical comedies, in which
the features are such as one expects
to find in the regulation dollar and a
half shows. since Phil OFT himself has
no peer, it is said. as comedian on
the stage or at any price.

THINKS EWELL A THIEF
Mary Peterson And The Accused We're
Former Employees OF Paul Arm.
strong At Anne Arundel Home

Through suspected abduction, and
theft of watch from a woman in Bal
timore, the Anne Arundel county home
of Paul Armstrong, the New York
playwright who was recently sued for
divorce by his wife. was again brought
into prominence this morning, when
Mrs. Mary Peterson, a former employe
of the Armstrong; appeared at the
Southern Police Station in Baltimore.
Mrs. Peterson, whose husband was
formerly the Armstrong; coachman
reported the loss of a watch and laid
its disappearance at the door of Jack
Ewell, also an employe on the Arm
strong farm.
The story told by Mrs. Peterson was
to the effect that Ewell had come to
her home yesterday, and that he left
this morning the watch had apparently
gone also. She also expressed the fear
that Pearl Jacobs, an Annapolis girl
who had worked at the Armstrong;
place, and who was with Ewell, had
been taken to Baltimore by him for
improper purposes. The police are
now on the lookout for both Ewell and
the Jacobs girl.

MERCHANTS BENEFITED
Annapolis Emergency Hospital Helps
Town 81, 800 Paid To Them Today

The great good the Annapolis Emer-
gency Hospital does for Annapolis
cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents, when it comes to the work ac-
complished IN healing the sick and
aleviating pain and suffering and in
the successful operations performed.
But there is another si3e to it that
can be estimated in dollars and
cents. This is what the Emergency
Hospital spends here, and puts into
the tresaury of the city merchants.
To give a faint illustration of this
the treasurer of the city hospital,
Mrs. George T. Feldmeyer, today
paid out to the Annapolis merchants
over $1,000. This certainly helps
some, and proves of how much mater
ial value the little hospital is to the
town.

Finances and Markets

New York, Jan. In spite of the
closing Of a local trust company, or
maybe because of, it, todays stock
market was most active and the
strongest of the weeks All the promi-
nent issues participated in the ad-
vance, which was for the most part
substantial, with special strength in
the cOalers.
The suspension of the Carnegie
Trust company occasioned no sur
prise in banking circles. where its
more or less precarious condition has
been a matter of common knowledge
for some time.
While exact facts are not yet avail
able, it viii probably be found that
today's episode harks back to the
panic of 1907.
other news Of the day was of the
usual weekend variety, including re-
ports from commercial agencies and
country wide clearings. Trade in
mercantile lines has found much
stimulus in the west and southwest
by reason of colder weather, and
jobbers were quoted as feeling opu-
mistic on the general outlook.
The bank statement was more ia
vorable than all forecasts, with its
huge actual loan decrease of $22.-
632. 900 and cash gain in excess Of
S1O,000,0 900. Loans of the non-mem-
Der banks and trust companies also
showed a gratifying decrease.
