YEARS HOSPITAL WORK
Shows Over 2,ll9 Cases Treated
Annual Meeting OF Annapolis
Emergency Hospital Associa-
tiOn-RepOrts OF Officers.
CITY'S ALLOWANCE UNPAID.
A Great Local Institution Is Doing A
Great Work But Is Hampered For
Means To Carry On Stupendous
Undertaking-GOOd Showing
Under Difficulties.

Once again the Annapolis Emergen-
cy Hospital Association comes before
the public. showing the great and good
work it has accomplished, hampered
as il is by lack of funds to carry on a
stupendous undertaking in this COM
munity, especially among the poor
who are sick or disabled
AT the annual meeting of the Asso-
citation, held last night in the sun par
lor of the hospital, there were present
but handful of people besides the
Board of Managers, and but three of
the medical staff, and not single
member of the Advisory Board, to lend
encouragement to the faithful women
who have given of their time and
energy to promote the good of the in
stitution.
The hospital has had a years exper-
fence in the new building with its
necessarily increased expenses and
broader scope in all departments of
medicine and surgery. 1t has come
to the Board of Managers on several
occasions during the past year that
they have been unduly extravagant
in the management of the new hos
pital, for which they have been un-
justly criticized.
A moments S consideration will show
that the new building turned over as
it was without a single closet or
clothes-roorn, without a place to put a
dead body, without dispensary, or
rooms for orderlies, with no pantries
or store-rooms, was a building in
complete and not properly equipped
with necessities. These had to be
provided by the Board of Managers,
and even at the least possible cost,
have entailed an expense that will not
be again incurred.
There were no refrigerators, which
had to be provided, together with bed
linen, cutlery, furniture and furnish
ings for the hospital.
1t is true that various lodges and
individuals contributed to the furnish
ing of special rooms as memorials,
but this contribution amounted to only
about $500 out of an expense and
necessary outlay of S5, 900.
The hospital has not received its
annual allowance from the city for
the year 1911, which, although only
5000, is a grateful donation and is
sadly missed.
In the proceedings of last night s
annual meeting the Advisory Board,
consisting of DIR. George Wells.
chairman, Mr.. James M. Munroe,
Mr.. Harry j. Hopkins, Mr.. Robert
Bergman and Judge James r. Bra
shears, were not present and it was
reported, had not audited the Treas
urer's report, as formerly, and one
of their duties. The Advisory Board
however was reelected for another
year with the expressed hope they
would do better and at least material
ize at the next annual meeting.
There being no clergymen of any
denomination present the meeting
was opened without religious cere-
monial, and was called to order by the
president Of the Board of Managers,
Mrs. John William Martin. The secre-
tary, Miss Kate w. Randall, read the
minutes of the previous annual meet
ing, which were approved as recorded.

strated popularity with the voters
and a hold upon the confidence of
the people which his service will fully
justify. His acknowledged profess
sional fitness for the post and his
personal qualities evidently appealed
strongly to the body of Annapolis
citizeship. For places of public trust
the demand is for just such young
men as Mr.. Melvin, and the party
which puts them forward is sure of
taking the right course to satisfy the
deeply-felt need in public life for the
best standard of public service.
There is little doubt that in the fu-
ture Mr.. Melvin will be looked to for
other work in the city, the county and
the state"
Mr.. Melvin's successive reelection
to the City Counselorship, and the
ability and industry with which he has
discharged its duties have shown The
Capitals prediction to be correct !;
and his steady rise at the bar has been
due to his unfailing talent and persis-
tent application. In the ten years of
his practice at the local bar. MIR.
Melvin has won a large clientage,
and has been identified with a num-
ber of the most noted cases tried in
the Circuit Court, or argued IN the
Court of Appeals. He has frequent
ly appeared in the Court of Appeals
in important arguments, and in the
other State and Federal courts. He
is counsellor number of corporations.
and his experience and knowledge
make his selection as counsel to the
County Commissio ners peculiarly fit
ting and praiseworthy. For six or
eight years Mr.. Melvin has been coun-
sci to the Board of Election Supervi-
sors, in which capacity his service has
been excellent. He is a graduate

Officer Garner in what direction Tyler
had gone, and the officer picked up
his pistol and handouts and followed,
calling to Tyler to halt. which he re-
fused to do, but was soon overtaken by
the officer.
Tyler gave Officer Garner the keys
of his house and told the officer where
to find his wife but never once hinted
that he had attempted to kill her.
Officer Garner has charge of the prop
erty until after the hearing.
At the Emergency Hospital yester-
day afternoon and last night there
were busy times. All the surgeons
and nurses were kept at work. far into
the evening, and it is seldom sur
geons are called upon to battle with
such hacked up human being as the
poor old woman who passed into
eternity shortly after 8 O'Clock
last night.
At this writing William Robin
son, the son-in-law, who was a vic
tim of Tyler's shooting, is said to
be in very bad way. The bullet
penetrated the lower left lung. and
it is hardly probable the victim will
survive
The daughter of Tyler, Mrs. Rob-
inson, is not seriously injured, the
bullet, which penetrated her nose,
was extricated last night by the sur
geons at the hospital, and her condi-
tion is encouraging.
The victim of Tyler's assault is
the mother of George Tyler bailff
and caretaker of Arundel -on-the-
Bay, a popular simmer residential
resort of Washingtonians. 1t was the
son of the bailiff who drove his
grandmother to the house where she
was murdered, and who later witness
