EASTON GAS TO BE TESTED
Public Service Commission Will Make
Test On The 10th Inst

1t is now definitely determined that
gas experts of the Public Service
Commission of the State of Maryland
will be in Easton on the 10th of jan
uary, and as long thereafter as nee
essary to make thorough investiga-
tions of the complaints recently filed
against the Easton Light and Fuel
Company, and to make scientific
tests of the quality of the gas sup
piled.
The Investigation will be most
elaborate, and number of persons
who are supposed to know much
about gas have been summoned to
appear before the Commission to
testify as to the gas supplied and the
service.
1t is rumored that the town authori-
ties object to the gas to be tested
being taken in through the new SER
vice pipe recently laid into the Bowl
ing Alley room adjoining the post
Office, where the test is to be made,
claiming that a more correct conclu-
sion can be reached by using the
service pipe.
Superintendent Rhodes is doing
everything he can to facilitate the
work of the Commission and processes
to have no uneasiness as to the re-
suit.
Morsl-Time for Annapolis gas
consumers to sit up and take notice.

SINKING OF THE PURITAN
Court OF Inquiry Appointed To Fix The
Responsibility

The board convened yesterday at
the Norfolk navy yard. The mem
bers are Rear Admiral Giles B. Har-
Der, Rear Admiral Lewis a. Helner,
Rear Admiral W II. II. Southerland
and Commander Ridley Mclean.
At the ordnance test held on No
weber Is last two charges of 200
pounds each of gelatine were ex-
ploded against the turret and side
armor plate of the Puritan. The ex-
plosion against her side armor belt
caused so much damage that her
seams were opened and she began to
settle rapidly. The morning fol-
lowing the experiment she sank.
The board will investigate all the
circumstances surrounding the sink
ing of the monitor. No precau-
tions, it was said, were taken to
prevent the vessel from sinking.
The monitor has now been sub
merged for about six weeks and it
is probable her boilers and machin-
cry will be total loss. This will
represent value of about 5000
and in addition there will be the cost
of the wrecking operations, about
S23, 600. This will make total loss
of about SITS, 900 entailed by the
sinking of the monitor. The respon-
sibility, it is said, lies between the
officers of the Norfolk yard and the
officers in charge of the ordnance
test.
Some officers contend that the
authorities of the Norfolk yard
faileld to furnish proper vessels and
pumps necessary for the test.
Ohers say that the officers in charge
of the tests did not take proper pre-
cautions to prevent the monitor from
sinking because they were satisfied
that the explosive would not do much
damage. Members of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs have
shown a disposition to criticise the
management which permitted the
sinking of the Puritan.

WHAT is THE MATTER?
The Chamber OF Commerce OF Annapolis
Is Civic Pride Dead Express
Ycur Opinion


Mr. Editor From the meetings of
the Chamber of Commerce and from
the small membership now belonging
to that body, 1t appears that it will
be but short time before Annapolis
will be without commercial and
public spirited body. What is the
reason?
In every place that makes an effort
to advance the interests of its citi-
zens, there is a body similar y the
local one, and the citizens take pride
in being members of it and aiding
with their money, time and trouble.
In all cities that are successful from
any point of view. that success can
be traced to the public-spiritedness of
its citizens.
Why should an organization that
has been organized for the sole pur-
pose of advancing the interests of all
the people be allowed to die from
simple apathy? Has Annapolis such a
lack Of civic pride that it is willing
to have it 60 broadcast through the
State of Maryland that city of
5000 people cannot support public
organization? Certainly, no one can
claim that the expense is too great.
No similar body of men pay as little
for its support as the Annapolis
Chamber of Commerce.
Fifty cents a month is little enough
for the ability to be able to say that
the city has an organization for its
a =
complished.
Or, on the otherhand, is the lack
of support because a number of per-
sons think that the Chamber is not
working along the right lines? Or
because they do not like the way the
officers run it?
If this be the case, isn't it the
fault of these persons that criticise
without turning their hand toward a
remedy?
Not attending the meetings, being
backward in joining or paying dues,
makes it impossible for those who do
to know what others want.
Every man should convince himself
that he owes some little thing to the
community in which he lives and
give a small part of his time attend
ing public meetings, even if they are
personally tiresome.
Will the people of Annapolis take
hold and write or express themselves
as to what should be done in regard
to this most important matter. Come
to the meetings, if you are a mem
ber and fight for what you believe
to be best for the good of the city.
If you do not belong write to the
Chamber and state what you think is
wrong and give us the benefit Of your
advice.
There are but few men in the world
that are not willing and glad to take
honest advice, and the men that COM
pose the Chamber of Commerce of An
napolis are the same kind of men that
make up the world.
Organization along the right line
can and will do more to aid the in
terests of each individual in the COM
munity than any individual in it.
Won't you help to put us right and
aid in the work to advance Annapolis.
Unless something is done, and
done very quickly. the Chamber of
Commerce land the Credit Mems AS
sociation with it will be a thing of
the past. Are We so self-centered and
satisfied that we will allow such a
thing to come to pass.
hope and trust not, but it will
surely happen if AnnapoIitans do not
awaken.
Very respectfully,
JOHN dep. DOUW.

NAVAL OFFICER TO FLY
Lieut.. Ellison Reports For destruction In
Aviation

Lieut.. Theodore Ellison, who was
designated recently by the Secretary
of the Navy to receive instruction
from Glenn H. Curtis in aeroplan-
ing, reported for duty Wednesday
near San Diego. CAL, where the Cur
tiss school of aviation is to operate.
Lieutenant Ellison was formerly
in the submarine boat service at
Newport News and was detached to
go into aeroplane experiments. 1t
was said at the Curtiss headquarters
in New York that Rear Admiral
Barry, commander of the Pacific
squadron, had been ordered to CO.
operate in aeroplane tests in the
Pacific manoeuvres. Mr.. Curtiss
has offered to instruct naval men in
aviation work.
The Wilcox aeroplane, equipped
with wireless apparatus, will be
placed on exhibition in the main hall
of the New York station of the Aero
nautical Reserve, at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Twelfth street. In
the week of the exhibition it is pro-
posed to send messages to the wire
less stations in the vicinity of New
York. Arrangements have also been
made with the steamship companies
to receive messages at sea.
The Wilcox bipIane was designed
and constructed by Philip Wakeman
Wilcox, a Columbia University stu
dent, and is duplicate of the one
made by him and used at Mineola
las summer, where he made success
ful flights. The wireless messages
will be sent by Harry Horton, who
assisted Glen H. Curtiss with wire9
less experiments at Sheepshead Bay
last summer.
