RECOMMENDED FOR DISMISSAL.
Names OF Four Midshipmen Sent To
President Taft For InfractiOn OF
Discipline.

The names of four midshipmen have
beel sent to President Taft for dis
missal from the naval service because
of misconduct.
| They are H. B. Amin. of Montana,
and Nj. A. Leahy, of Wisconsin. of
the second class; ). Roberts, of hi.
nois, of the third class, and F. B.
Bleakley,of New Jersey, of the fourth
class. The details of the charges
against them were not announced, ex-
cept that they were charged with mis-
conduct at the Naval Acaemy.
Amin was one of the midshipmen
involved in the recent escapade of the
second class men in Washington. The
other three were charged with infrac-
tion of discipline in Bancroft Hall.
The recommendation of these mid
shipmen for dismissal is an Indication
of the rigid opposition of Capt. ]. H.
Gibbons, superintendent of the Ma
val Academy, to drinking among the
midshipmen and his determination
TO stamp out the practice.
The midshipmen accused of into XII
cation are said to have secured their
intoXicants in Annapolis and to
have become very noisy in Bancroft
Hall. They were heard by a watch
man, who reported the matter to the
officer in charge, who went to the
room from which the noise proceeded.
All of the midshipmen tried to es
cape, and one ran by the officer in
charge and took refuge under the
roof of Bancroft Hall, where he
spent the night. In the morning he
got out of the Academy grounds and
did not return until late in the after
noon, when he was apprehended.
Midshipman Amin is the chief often.
der-at least, the chief offender who
was caught-in the disorder which
followed the banquet of the second
class in Washington on September 29.
Midshipman Amin engaged in a fight
with a Washington policeman and
etfectually put him to sleep" for
some time besides committing other
overt acts. Amin was taken to the
station-house and forfeited $50 col
lateral, which he left for his appear
ance. 1t is being urged in behalf of
Amin that he has an excellent record,
and that he had never been intoxi-
Gated before. He cl aims that he
drank only what was served at the
banquet, and being unused to drink
ing, became intoxicated ana irrespon-
sible without realizing his condition.
The midshipmen have been close
prisoners in Bancroft Hall for nearly
a month They have petitioned the
authorities to allow them to resign,
and some of them have offered, if
punishment be less than dismissal, to
pledge themselves not to drink intox-
icants while midshipmen. According
to the Academy records, all the mid
shipmen except Leahy are minors.
Amin, though a second classman, be-
ing the youngest of the four.

FIRE AT ACTON.
Breakfast Room Gutted-Commodore
Beehler Slightly Burned In Efforts
To Extinguish Flames.

Shortly before midnight fire was
discovered at Acton the old colonial
residence owned by the Murray heirs
at Murray Hill. Acton is now the
residence of Commodore Beehler. u.
S. N, (retired,) and his family.
After the Com nodore had retired
for the night he smelled smoke
and Immediately began an investi-
cation. Fire was discovered in the
breakfast room, a small room be-
tween the bowroom and the dining
room. 1t was caused by an over
heated fire place fire in the breakfast
room. Immediately the doors were
closed leading to the other apartments
and the fire confined to the one small
room.
The Commodore, assisted by William
Pindell, colored, the caretaker of
Acton, worked heroically to put out
the fire, and succeeded, but not until
the Commodore was badly burned
about the hands and his feet were
somewhat burned as well.
The breakfast room was entirely
Quilted, and not anything therein was
saved. The loss to the Murray heirs
is entirely covered by insurance by
Julian Brewer & Son, agents.
The Commodore, however, was not
insured. The fire department respond
ed to the alarm, but there was no
water pressure needed and the fire was
soon put out by those first on the
scene.

AUTO SMASHES VEHICLE.
Collision With Carriage Injuries County
Commissioner Wife.

In collision between the automo-
bile of DR.. H. st. Clair Spruill, of
Baltimore, and a carriage Sunday
evening near Glen Burnie, Mrs. James
S. Smith, wife of the president of the
Board of County Commissioners, and
her three children were painfully in
jured and the vehicle smashed.
DR.. Spruill, who is one of the resi-
dent physicians at the University
Hospital, Baltimore, was driving along
between Furnace Branch and Glen
Burnie, when he attempted to pass
the other vehicle. In doing so the
rear wheels of the motor car skidded,
coming in contact with the carriage.
In a second the horse, maddened with
fear, leaped forward, pitching Mrs.
Smith and children into the road.
The first Commissioner Smith knew
of the accident was when the horse.
dragging only the front wheels of
the carriage, dashed in at the gate.
In the meantime DIR. Spruill was TAX
ing care of the injured woman and
children, whose names are Ruth, Helen
and Edwin Warfeld Smith. None of
them was seriously injured, but each
was the victim of bruises and scratch
oS.
The physician, after seeing that no
bones were broken, placed them all
in his automobile and took them to
their home. Mrs. Smith is the mother
of Messrs. Lester and Norman Smith,
proprietors of Hotel Maryland, and
the injured children are brother and
sisters of the pruprietors.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Pay Pensions And Award Contracts
At Their Weekly Meeting.
TRANSACT ROUTINE BUSINESS.
DisapprOve OF Action OF Trustees OF
County Home-Pass Many Bills.

At the regular meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners for Ann G
Arundel county held on Tuesday last
the Board was unanimous in its disap-
proval of the action of the trustees of
the County Home in having repairs
made to the Home without first ask
ing for bids for the same.
The County Commissioners passed
resolution calling attention of the
County Home trustees to the fact.
The question came up upon the pres
entation of bill for repairs recently
made to the foundation of the Home,
and it is the suggestion of the Com
missioners that whenever a piece of
work is to be done, the price upon
which is in excess of $50 or S25, the
trustees should advertise for bids for
same.
The question for the construction of
an under drain at the County Home
was granted, the cost for same not to
exceed $20.66.
An order was passed prov ling
that on and after date, bills for
feed in connection with road work
must bear the receipt of the rail-
road or steamboat company ha ling
same, otherwise they will not be
paid.
The matter of building the road
in the Fifth district known as the
Bonus Land Road" running from
Sixth street, Brooklyn, to the Light
street road is held up pending the
release of easement of property
owners living along the route of the
right of way to the county. AS
soon as this is adjusted the county
will advertise for building the road
and the Clerk to the Board has
been directed to prepare the neces-
sary Papers.
Bids recently submitted for the
sewer work at Curtis Bay having
been tabulated by the County Engi-
neer, it was found that the firm of
Raymond N. Williams was the low
est bidder and has been awarded the
contract.
Complaint having been made by a
number of citizens of the irregular
shape of the ferry scow used at South
River, and claiming that the fault
lies with Mr.. Percy Smith, who built
it, Mr.. Smith was before the Board
on Tuesday and made his position
clear in the premises. He said the
plans for the scow were not prepared
by him as has been charged, but that
it was constructed in accordance with
the plans and specification of the
County Engineer.
The County Treasurer was granted
insolvencies as follows: John I.
Mulhall, upon a house burned in
1910, and Edward Upton, of the
Fifth district, $50, on account of
two assessments of the same piece
of property.
The Board approved of pension
claims of ffty-four residents of the
county, each claim being for the
amount of SIS. Twenty-six of the
pensions were granted residents of the
| city: five of the First district; six of
the Second district; four of the Third
district; one of the Fourth district
and twelve Of the Eighth district.
The usual large number of bills
were passed.

Their tart was made from the avi-
alton field at fifteen minutes past noon
yesterday and Buckroe Beach. two
miles above Fort Monroe, was reach
Ain exactly two hours and twenty
seven minutes.
Not only was the fight a notable
rsr.ormance, but it is of tremendous
value in naval affairs, as it demon
stya,es that a machine of this type
can carry two operators, one of whom
is free 10 make observations or handle
explosives during military opera
tIons
Little notice of the attempt to make
the fight was given as the officers
knew that they would have to change
their plans according to conditions.
However, il had been their intention
for some lime to make the flight to
some point on Hampton Roads.
The operators caused the machine
70 go high i'm the air and when it dis
appeared from the view of those who
saw it start it was estimated that it
was at least a thousand feet up. The
machine was in view until it took a
turn below Thomas Point, eight miles
below Annapolis.
