HYDROPLANE ARRIVES
Lieut.. EllysOn Ships Machine By Ex-
press Now at Hangar, Naval
Academy

Lieut.. Ellyson, U. S. N, shipped his
hydroplane to this city yesterday.
The hydroplane is now safely housed
in the hangar at the aviation field op-
posite the Naval Academy.
The Ellyson hydroplane was ship
ped here by Adams Express. 1t is the
first hydroplane, or water-air ma
chine seen here. Lieutenant Ellyson
is expected to arrive today.
Although it was expected that the
series of aviation experiments to
test the adaptability of aeropTanes
for use in the naval service, as we'll
as TO instruct the youne officers,
would get under way promptly, it
is unlikely that the work will get
its actual start until about the m i'd
die Of next month.
There has been quite q setback in
the construction of the Curtiss hydro
plane, one of the machines to be used
in the tests, though the Wright BIZ
plane has been here for the past two
weeks. The prime reason for the de-
lay in formally opening the school is
the fact that Lieut.. John Rodgers,
who is to have charge of the instruc-
tion, yesterday went on leave.
Lieut.. Theodore G. Ellyson is the
Curtiss pupil, and he will have
charge of the instruction in manipu-
la ting the hy 1roplane

BUDDING DIPLOMATS
School For Preparing American Con-
suls TO Fit For Duties

A course of instruction was begun
on Monday in Washington at the State
Department by thirteen budding diplo-
mats, who have recently been ap-
pointed to consular positions. In the
class of the "unlucky thirteen" is
DR.. Charles M. Hathaway, of this
city, formerly an instructor at the
Naval Academy, but recently appoint
ed American Consul to the Dominican
Republic (San Domingo.)
The school of instruction for newly
appointed diplomats has been found
necessary in order to fit the new
consuls to take up their duties abroad
in the United States foreign duties
service. So much criticism here
tofore has been heaped upon Amer
ican consular officers that the State
Department recently began a school
in which men who have been appointed
to the service will be grounded in the
proper method of conducting the bus
mess of the United States at foreign
ports.
For thirty days nine newly appoint
ed consuls and four consular assistants
will be thoroughly drilled by officers
of the State Department and others.
An elaborate program, consisting of
addresses and study, has been pre-
pared, and each subject will be treat
ed by specialists. Officials of the
Bureau of Manufacturers the Bureau
of immigration, and the Bureau of
Statistics, the Customs Division and
the Marine Hospital service will sup
plement the lectures to be given by
the State Department officials, and
the Agricultural Department will de-
tail an expert to instruct the new
consuls in methods of plant collec-

A CITY CRITICISED
Accumulation of Garbage on Side
walk Subjects The Town to
Just Criticism
UNIFORM RECEPTACLESNEEDED
A Question For City Council To Decide
Renew Old Ordinance Or
Pass Another -

A matter in which the city of An
napolis often lays itself open to criti-
cism, and entirely just criticism, is
in the matter of its system, or lack
of system, of allowing garbage and
rubbish to be placed upon the side
walk to be removed by the wagons,
and the character of the receptacles
in which the garbage is placed.
1t is no uncommon sight to see one
of Annapolis finely paved streets,
long which are its best residences,
lined for greater part of the day
with the most inadequate and obnoxi
Gus receptacles ranging from a peach
basket to a bathtub or old baby
carriage. Intelligent visitors, while
complimenting Annapolis on its fine
municipal improvements and ad-
vanced ideas and achievements along
nearly every other line, have said
that they never saw any place where
such things were permitted.
SOf course, the chief remedy lies
in the passage and enforcement of an
Ordinance providing for uniform
receptacle of metal with a secure top.
While the beauty of the city is en-
hanced by requirement of this kind,
the sanitary effect is still more i'm
portant. The disease carrying prop
critics of the common fly are we'll
known, and the exposure of garbage
and refuse of various kinds in these
open receptacles, makes it an easy mat
ter for disease to be carried from
place to place by the flies.
Some years ago the Council did
pass an ordinance to this effect, but
it has never been properly enforced.
By some it was contended that it was
hardship on the property owner to
compel the purchase of metal can of
the kind required. There seems to
be little force in this argument. The
right of the municipal governing body
to pass an ordinance of this kind is
unquestioned, and the slight expense
to the property owner cannot be con-
sidered against the health of the
whole community and the appearance
of the city.
1t would be an excellent thing if
the Council would renew this ordi-
nance or pass another along even
more stringent lines, providing that
it should go into effect in the
spring, before the bad effects of
the present state of affairs is so
great. This would give the property
owners plenty of time to provide
themselves with sanitary metal cans
with tops and would be in no sense
hardship.
1t has also been pointed out that
most of the citizens do not realize
how much of what is not put in the
garbage cans or boxes could readily be
burned in the kitchen stoves. If this
were done more regularly, there
would be much less accumulation of
refuse matter, and the rounds of the
wagons could be accomplished more
quickly, and there would be less of
the unsightly and unsanitary cans
and boxes waiting on the sidewalks.
Agitation should go on or the pass
age of an ordinance along this line,
and its strict enforcement. The pres
ent condition does much to render
nugatory the large sums spent for the
improvement of Annapolis through
its splendid system of paved streets
and sewers.
