TO OCCUPY STADIUM
Great Athletic Structure AT The
Naval Academy To Be Used
Saturday For First Time.
AT NAVY.PRINCETON GAME.
Work On Concrete Piers Was Com
pleted Last February-Gran
Stand Seats 5000 People

On Saturday next at the Navy
Princeton game, the new Naval Acad-
emy stadium will be used for the first
time, work on which began last jan
uary.
William n French, of tbs city, was
the contractor for the foundation, and
completed the work the tenth of last
February. There were thirteen bid
ders for the steel work for the stand.
the lowest being A. l.. Parsons, to
whom it was awarded. The grand
stand seats 5000 people and it is 81
by 406 feet. The stand fills a long
felt want at the Naval Academy, as
nearly every season there is some
event which draws a crowd which
greatly overtaxes the facilities.
The stand is near the lower gate of
the Academy, with its back toward
King George street and faces the PRES
ent running track. The track will
remain as it is. and football field and
baseball grounds are within it Lacros
will probably be played on Wo-den
Field, as formerly. Underneath the
stands are commodious dressing T oms
and baths for the midshipmen and
visiting athletes.
A notable fact about the stand is
that the space of 21 inches is allowed
for each person, about five inches
more than in most stands. The ma
terial is concrete for the foundation
and steel for the framework. Wood
is used for the seats only. The new
stand will prove a great source of con-
venience to members of the naval
contingent and others who desire to
see the different contests at the Acad-
emy.
Annapolis is distinctly the greatest
center of college athletics south of
Philadelphia.

A CONTINENTAL CONVENTION
of The Brotherhood OF St. Andrew,
Annapolis Delegate Goes To Buffalo.

The Buffalo convention of the Broth
| erhood of Saint Andrew will be held.
beginning with today until over Sun
day the 22nd 1t will be continental
in character; for delegates from all
the Anglican Churches in North Amer
lea are entitled to attend. As Buffalo
is situated upon the Niagara river.
only mile across from Canada, the
delegates will be as numerous from
that country as from the United
States.
The delegates will represent the
Episcopal Church in the United States
and the Church of England in Canada,
in the other countries of North Amer
lea and in the West Indies. Special
representatives will visit the conven-
tion, from England, Australia and
New Zealand; and from the foreign
mission fields of the several branches
of the Anglican Church.
There are two chapters of the
Brotherhood of Saint Andrew in An
napolis, both connected with Saint
Anne's parish church: Senior and a
Junior Chapter. A delegate will 90
from the latter to represent both chap
ters. The delegate chosen is Mr.. Al
bert Wilson, who has recently come
to Annapolis, from the County. Mr..
wilson left last evening, to catch the
Buffalo express, from Baltimore, and
expected to reach the convention city
this morning.
The Brotherhood works among men
especially young men," to win and
attach them more closely to the
Church. Mr.. Scott Lane Heffenger is
the Director of St. Anne's Chapter;
and, according to a rule, that the Di-
rector of the Junior Chapter must be
a member of the Senior Chapter, VIM.
N. Berkeley, Ph. D., holds that office.
This latter is a most important and
difficult position, which DIR. Berkeley
ably fills; while the Senior chapter
has never flourished as, during the
past year, under Mr.. Heffenger.
The Importance of this convention
will be realized when the "Men and
Religion Movement is in mind The
latter is a movement, among all de-
nominations of Christians to induce
laymen to rise, under the direction of
their pastors, and bring men and boys
nearer to Christ and His Church. The
movement is sweeping over the Eng
lish speaking world, just as the Lay
mems Missionary Movement, did dur
ing the past two years. Indeed, it is
the outcome of the latter. This work
is not new, to the Episcopal Church
and of the Brotherhood of st. Andrew;
for they have been organized, for it for
twenty-six years. The continental
convention of 1911, in Buffalo, can not
but be part of this great movement.
1t promises to be the largest gathering
in the world, of men and boys of the
Anglican Church. 1t will be a great
inspiration, to those who attend,
and it cannot fail to influence the
whole church upon this continent.

EhlnuslaSm Is Steadlly growing
among the Democrats and the action
Of the Republicans in attempting to
put in the field full local ticket by
having those backed by them file pa
pers of candidacy as Independents has
done much to stir up the interest of
the workers of the Democratic party
in every district in the county. AS
each day goes by reports of a growth
of confidence in the Democratic ranks
are heard, and the i'll effect of the
ballot box fraud disc losures in Balti-
more which were at first charged to
have effected the nomination of Sem
ator German, but have since been
proven to the contrary and which now
also involve Republican candidates
as seriously as the Democrats, are
being offset.

LIST OF REAR ADMIRALS.
Navy Now Has Thirty-Eight Captains
Promoted.

Yesterday the list of rear admiral.
/ in the United States Navy was in.
creased to thirty. This is an increase
of four over the highest previous mum.
/ ber as existing at the beginning OF
/ the present year. With but eighteen
rear admirals in regular number au-
| thorized by law, there became twelve
additional numbers.
| Of eight captains who were pass
ed by the special examining board
/ in Washington, only two are regular
numbers. Four of the others are
engineer officers and will not be per-
| mitted tC exercise command Sr to
serve at sea-
Because of the unprecedented num-
ber of captains coming up for exam
ination for promotion today, it was
necessary to order a special examin-
ing board of rear admirals, in order
that all members might be senior
to all candidates. The board was
composed of Rear Admirals N. E. Ma
son, of the general board; Austin M.
Knight, president of the special ord
nance board, and Bradley A. Fiske,
commanding the new Fifth division of
the Atlantic fleet.
Capt. John M. Bowyer,-who was
compelled to resign as superintendent
of the Naval Academy last spring be-
cause of i'll health and who failed of
promotion on September Ia for physi-
cal reasons, was retired with rank of
rear admiral. He will continue on
duty until the papers are signed by
the President.
The captains examined for promo
tion yesterday were George B. Ran
som, Abraham V. Zane, John r. Ed
wards, engineer officers; John M.
Helm and Cameron MGR. Winslow,
extra numbers, and N. r. Fisher and
Frank F. Fletcher, both regular num-
bers. Albert B. Willets, another
extra engineer officer, was unable to
appear by reason of his being on spec
ial duty in Europe. He will be ex-
amined upon his return.
Captain Bowyer's retirement ad-
vanced all the officers below him down
to and including Captain Winslow, all
being extra numbers, and the vacancy
he would have filled was taken by
Captain Uhler. Rear Admiral Mar
shall's retiremet for age made place
on the list for Captain Fletcher. This
leaves Capt. Frank E. Beatty, COM
mandant of the Washington yard, the
senior captain on the list.
The retirement of Captain Bowyer
and the promotion of Captains Usher
and Fletcher resulted in the promo
tion of Commanders John d. McDon-
aid, of Maine, commanding the re-
ceiving ship Hancock, at the New
York yard; Hillary P. Jones, of Vir-
ginia, commanding the armored cruis-
ers Tennessee and Montana, in re-
serve at the Norfolk yard and William
R. Shoemaker, of New Mexico, chief
of staff of the Atlantic fleet. This
leaves Commander Charles M. Fahs,
of Alabama, commanding the Olongapo
station, at the top of the list of COM
manders.
1t was learned that all the officers
passed the examination.

OYSTER TAX CASE.
Court Or Appeals Argues Interesting
Case.

A case of Statewide interest was
| argued yesterday before the Court Of
Appeals
The action brought by ID. +. Foote
& Co. and other oyster packing firms
of Baltimore against State Comptrol-
Ter Charles II. Stanley to restrain that
official from collecting a tax for in
spection of oysters. or, in other words,
TO have the court declare invalid the
second of the acts passed by the Leg
islature of 1910. that imposed such
tax, was argued before the Court Of
Appeals yesterday.
The act in question provides for a
tax of cent bushel for the inspec-
tion of all oysters bought at the
wharves of the oyster-packing firms.
the proceeds derived therefrom 70 be
applied to defray the cost of such in
spection and other expenses Of the
State fishery force.
In former appeal, brought by the
same firm, the court declared an
act imposing an inspection tax of 2
cents bushel unconstitutional and
void, being interference with inter
State commerce and "a revenue
measure under guise of an inspection
law -
The appellants claim the law i'm
poses tax on oysters shipped from
other states which is grossly excess
sive and is applied to other expenses
that an actual inspection, therefore be
coming unconstitutional.
The case was appealed from the
decision Of the Circuit Court for Bal
timore City, which denied a petition
for mandamus against Comptroller
Stanley.
The amount of tax collected at the
rate of ! cent bushel during the sea-
sons of l90S-19l0 was $40, 304.s9.
Salaries Of measurers and inspectors
during that period were S2S,6lS
leaving a balance of $50, 6Sl. 80. which
was carried to the credit of the "oys-
ter fund"
