MORE BODIES FOUND.
Recovered By WOrkmen From Officers
Room of Wreck Of Maine.

Four bodies were found yesterday
in the petty officers room of the
Maine, in Havana harbor. The work
men also uncovered the four rear
boilers, which had not moved from
their original positions.
The recovery of the bodies, which
remain unidentified, was made pos
sible by tine building of a temporary
buikhead. which cut off the inflow of
mud and water from the afterpart of
the wreck.
The engineers expect to make a
rapid search of this part of the Maine,
which is less shattered than the for
ward section. 1t is believed that
many bodies will be found.
Within the cofferdam the water
level is now at % feet, while behind
the buIkhead separating the afterpart
Of the wreck from the remainder it
is so feet.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Held Enthusiastic Meeting Last
Night-Much Business Trans
acted.
FOR GREATER ANNAPOLIS.
What The Chamber Wants Is COOpera-
tion-Join And Helm.

quite the most enthusiastic meeting
that the Chamber of Commerce has
held in many weeks was held last
night. 1t was a special meeting.
called principally to act on the recon-
mendation from the trustees. which
was, that the Credit Mems Associa-
ton. which is composed of the lead
ing merchants of the city, most of
whose members are also members of
the Chamber, be again associated
with the Chamber, but under differ
ent and much better arrangements.
The new arrangement being that
every member of the Association
pay fifty cents per month to the
Chamber as his dues to the Associa-
tlon, receiving in return the use of
the rooms. In order to obviate the
old difficulty, that of having a secre-
tary who would act in the double ca
pacity of secretary and collector. the
secretary's duties were cut down to
the real duties of a secretary. and
the office of assistant secretary was
then created, abolishing the old Office
of corresponding secretary, whose
duties the secretary will now have.
The assistant secretary will collect
the dues and assist the secretary
Mr.. Julian Spencer was then elected
to fill the office of assistant secretary.
BY this latter move it is believed
and hoped that the Chamber will be
able to get as its secretary a man who
can greatly advance the work and good
of the Chamber, as heretofore the
great objection to that position was
to duties of collecting.
A short address was then delivered
by one of the members outlining the
plan of an active campaign that he
hoped to see started by the Chamber.
to make the meetings more interest
ing and the work more comprehen-
sive and in this way add to its mem
bership and help develop the CITY.
The speaker suggested that men prom
inent in the advance movement in
other cities be invited to address the
Chamber of special development top
les. The names of several such men
were given who would be only to glad
to help this work.
The speaker then spoke of several
PA"JSNSo VI iHISISSl 10 the CITY TO
start the advance movement for the
Greater Annapolis" The speaker
then called attention to good work
done by the Chamber in the gas and
electric light matter, after being
subject of complaint for years, the
Chamber got behind the movement
and the gas company was forced to in
stall modern machinery and equip
ment. When the improvements are
completed the Chamber hopes to
prove to the Public Utilities Commits
sion that the Company can afford to
deliver gas at cheaper rate.
The speaker evidently started some
thing. as there were several hearty
response and two special committees
are to be appointed to carry along
two of the projects, starting at once
on the active work. The projects
advocated are withheld until the pres
ident of the Chamber appoints the
committees. What the Chamber
wants now is the cooperation of
every Annapolitan who has the inter
est of the city, county and State at
heart. Join the Chamber and help in
the advance of Annapolis. Don't be a
Bromide!

PUBLISHING SENSATIONS.


The Church bill, which forbids the
publication of details of crimes, exc
buttons etc, has been adopted by both
houses of the legislature. 1t may be a
good thing. In intent, 1t is, no doubt,
a most excellent thing. But after all,
it is to be doubted that the legislature
has the right to muzZIp the press, or
that It is not much better than there
be yellow journalism than that there
be suppression CT the freedom OF the
press. The bill imposes fine OF not
to exceed $1,000 or Imprisonment not
to exceed six months, or both. The
publisher Of big paper could take his
chances, pay the $1,000 II necessary,
and let the news or some other editor
go to jail a while. and the man with
the small paper would have to look
on and whistle. and perhaps see him.

story-the only scoop--in years, sim

pend publication. If he went to Jail. In
4 sense, It Is class legislation, just as
much as were some laws that have
oeen turned down as class legislation
by the supreme court of the United
States. Aud yet, it does seem desir-
able that the "sensationaT features OF
many newspapers be toned down
However, the Church bin would estab-
lish a censorship, because the county

a very delicate task, to draw the line,

PROGRESS in China,

Progress in China has hitherto been
proverbially slow, when it has existed
at all. and there have been many who
have confidently disbeiieved in the pos
sibility Of the imIneu; orial inertia Of
that strange people ever being SO far
overcome as to permit their taking
their place among the advanced and
enlightened nations OF the west. That
Judgment win now, however. have to
be reconsidered and reversed, and
there will be some danger of going TO
the opposite extreme and Of reckoning
China to be one Of the swiftest NOV
ing nations.
1t is not that. but it is certainly no
slugSard in reform. Ordered progress

GUARDING THE COUNTRY.

Representative Mann, Of Illinois, pro-
poses an innovation. He proposes to
seek accuracy in printing the Congress
sional Record no matter how mac
curate in statement the matter may be.
It appears that when a democrat
gets leave to print" in the Record the
remarks he was not permitted to make
on the floor that the dem ocratic ora
lions which never thrilled the air Of the
capitol and the ears OF pages and door
print with bracketed misstatements
thus: ("applause"). (cheersD. C'tu-
multuous applause") and the like. This
crooked work is intended to deceive the
mossbacks at home. The Jeffersonian
disciple back in the district is deceived.
When one Of the girls reads 1t aloud to
him in the cleaning or Of a Sunday
he hears the faxed applause. listens to
the tumult Of the congressman and the
shouting and swells with pride and
satisfaction over the way Bill give
them black republicans -" Mr..
Mann doesn't propose to stand longer
fer the deception.
Mr.. Mann is right. 1t is fraud pure
and simple, an adulteration. 1t ought
to come under the pure food law. 1t is
oratorcal bran put on the market as
mill feed 1t is graft. 1t is like the

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY.

FYfty thousand dollars is a lot Of
monsy but It II approximately the sum

automobiles. Most Of these are being
sold to farmers and in smaller towns.
In ten days 800 automobile licenses
have Dean issued. That is an average
OF fntY DsF day. It Is a fair estimate
that the machines averaged $1,000.
That - $50, 900 Q day for autos in Iowa.

httches four good horses to contrap-
ton. puts q wagon alongside and starts
the thing moving. It delivers the po-
tatoes in the wagon box. He hauls
them to the potato elevator, dumps his
load and ma chinery does the rest. Re-
call the two weeks siege of hauling
manure The new farmer hauls 1t with
a spreader. He drives with jocund glee
afield while the machine does the
work The weary plowman has quit
Flooding his weary way. He sits In
state on a gang pillow or rides en-
uhroned upon the corn cultivator. Plod
nothing! Ever pitch hay In the field or
to the stack? Yes? Well that's gone
with the Flooding. Nowadays he
bitches thing of cogs and scratchy
looking wires behind the hay wagon
and says "giddap." When the load is
on he drives up to the side OF the barn
or the stack bitches a horse to a rope
and says giddap again Perhaps he
gets tired of saying giddap over and
over again but he is fresher at D. m.
than you used to be when you nego-
tiated twenty tons with a three-tined
fork When harvest comes he gets out
the Irvine binder and bundle carrier.
He has heard Of an ancient custom of
binding by hand and of gathering to
the shock. You and l. however. retain
a distinct remembrance of a reaper
with a seven-foot cut and four horses
driven by the man who was paying
wages coming up the side of an oats
field like a destroying angel. Why this
modern farmer doesn't even carry
away oats from the machine at thresh-
ing time or even shovel from the load
into the bin. He has elevators. He lets
the machine do the the work. Actually
he unloads at husking time by the
same process. And it is told that he
is considering a corn husker which
shall do away with picking" as the
corn binder has relegated to the limbo
of useless things the cornknives and
the Irvine with which we used to put
up shocks twelve hills square in the
stone ages of agriculture.
1t Is a pleasure, not entirely I'M
mingled with regret 20 see the modern
farmer operate. In his automobile
with his gasoline engines and modern
labor saving decises he is a long way
from the lumber wagons and "a" drags
of his fathers boyhood on the farm.
He does more and gets more for doing
it; has more and uses more; sees more
and foTse:s more; enjoys more with
less sense Of enjoyment But it Is
doubtful If he has much better time
when all is said and done than his
father knew and whether his boy will
be happier than he. Happiness is not
in the methods but in the men.
