THREE RUNAWAY BOYS
ARE CAPTURED HERE
Armed With RevOIvers Had
Planned to Live in Log Cabin.
BOUGHT HATCHETS AND NAILS.
Then Went to Woods Near Brick Yard
Hill Where Officer Crawford Found
Them Hewing Trees.

Lured by the stories of the wilds
and highway expeditions read of in
the lictle nickel novels which, by the
way, furnish the principal literature
of many of the youths of the land,
three runaway lads from Baltimore
were picked up here Saturday by Pa
trolman James Crawford, of German
town, who, after ascertaining their
names and addresses, promptly re-
turned them TO their parents in Balti-
more.
The runaways were Harry and
Elmer Berkeley, twelve and fourteen
years old, respectively, of 1909 West
Fayette street, and Normal Chap
man, of 1902 West Fayette street,
Baltimore. But, unlike the average
runaway chaps. these lads did not
chit" the railway track, nor did they
come without some provision ir the
way of financial aid.
On the contrary they made the trip
from Baltimore to Annapolis by car.
Each had small quantity of money
in his pocket, and, according to their
story, they spent Friday night at the
lodging place of Gus Cardes, on West
street. Each of the boys was armed
with a revolver, and it was first
thought tht they probably were men,
bers of the Baltimore branch of Boy
Scouts, who were out on a jaunt, but
this was found not to be the case.
Seeking the Businesses of the SUBJ
urbs near Annapolis, the lads set
about to construct little log cabin,
and in it they had planned to live for
AL indefinite period, depending upon
what funds one or the other might be
able to earn in the city, to secure pro-
visions. They settled themselves in
the woods near what is known as the
"Y," on the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Line.
1t was there that Officer Crawford
succeeded in locating the boys. He
had seen them leaving the store of
R)bb Combs & Co., where they pur-
chased two hatchets and FIVE pounds
Of 20-penny nails. The officer sized
the boys up, but at first entertained but
little suspicion that they were rum
aways.
The father of the BerEley boys,
upon discovering their absence from
home, and believing that they had
made their way to Annapolis. started
in search of them. Wit h tbs inves-
til alton on, officer Crawford promptly
took the Tip" and remembering
that he had seen three lads answering
the description given and that they
started down the tracks of the old Bay
Ricge road towards Brick Yard Hill,
went in search of them. And it was
not long before he came upon them in
a thickness of locust bushes and other
trees. They were thea engaged in
chopping down trees with which to
build their log cabin abode.
The addresses of the boys having
been furnished, Patrolman Crawford
conveyed them to Baltimore, and
turned them over to their respective
parents, who expressed much happi-
ness over their return and that they
had not met with accident or got into
any trouble. The boys, between
them, had about SO in cash.

FOR AN ASSOCIATION
TO BUCK MEAT TRUST
Col. Ovens Talks Of Cooperative
Plan to Reduce Meat Prices.
HAS SUBSCRIPTIONS PROMISED.
Twenty Thousand Dollars Capital
Needed and Every Consumer
Could Join at $40 Share.

If the plan instigated by Col.
James W. Owens, lawyer and well
known citizen of Annapolis. is car
ried through, and certainly it is one
that should appeal to the laboring
as well as other classes of residents
Of the city, cooperative association
will be formed here that will help ma
terially in the reduction of the present
high cost of living.
The plan, as explained by Mr..
Owens is that by which a much re-
duced cost of meats would be secured
to citizens of the community. Said
Mr.. Owens today:
Several years ago a business man
in an Indiana town finding that the
meat trust was making the cost of liv-
ing out of reach of the ordinary citi-
zen, opened meat store, bought and
killed his own stock, and sold ii at a
reduced price to the citizens. The
meat trust, for the purpose of driv-
ing him out of business, Immediately
reduced prices far below actual value.
AS A result this gentleman closed up
his business. After this the trust
raised prices back to the high prices
previously charged, and the consumers
had to pay these prices.
Thereupon the man who had re-
duced the prices went to all of his
former customers and agreed that he
would reopen if they would bind them
selves to buy from him at The low
Lrices at which he had previously sold
them, and upon doing this he reopen
ed his business and practically drove
the trust out of the market.
I'm talking with dealer in meats
here he told me he was paying Is
cents pound for whole quarters of
beef, and that the shin and the fianks
could only be sold at from 5 to 10
cents, which compelled him to advance
the price on the better cuts. The
meat trust claims that it is the retail
er who is charging the exorbitant
prices, but this statement refutes
that.
Il have now subscriptions of
SO, 600 to a cooperative meat business
which, when established, will supply
the whole city and give us meats at
very much reduced prices. am in
teresting consumers in this plan and
have formulated an act of incorpora-
tion that will permit every consumer
to become a stockholder, the prices of
shares being only $40. There is hard
ly a laboring man in Annapolis who
cannot take one or two shares in this
corporation.
Another provision is that when
ever a stockholder desires to sell
he shall give the corporation the
option to purchase his stock at the
market price.
cit is further a provision that none
of the stock shall be sold to the meat
trust and that no Individual or syndi-
cate shall at any time acquire a ma
jorIty of the stock | shall have the
incorporation papers and subscription
books ready for the 18th of October,
and should like to hear from citizens
who would subscribe Twenty thous-
and dollars would be ample capital. /"

LOWELL AND WARREN BARE RIVALS TOMORROW
Baseball Feature Brings To- gether Two Leaders
 of the League

The Lowell and Warren club of the Tri-Town league will meet in the sec ond go-round of the league schedule tomorrow afternoon at Warren park and the movements of the game will have meaning all it's own. It is comparatively recent history that Warren trounced the middle town club to a fare-you-well and set every ran in the district to wondering, Kan sas-like. what was the matter with
 Lowell. On paper the Lowell club compares favorably in strength with the Warren team and not many be- lieve that the latter team can make the former verdict stay put.
 When the manager Of the Warren team proclaimed early in the season that he had got together the cream of the vacant lots it was thought that he was merely handing out some of the Muggey McGraw preseason stuff. but it really does look as if he had been out gathering in the sheaves. On the other hand Lowell presents lineup that has the full endorsement Of dope as a winning team ana that it has the gift of win to a certain dc gree at least is fully evidenced by ;he two defeats that it administered to the Bisbee team and sent them sup periess to the cellar. If the suburban ties defeat the Lowellians tomorrow it will be twice that they have done that and, Lowell having defeated Bis bee twice the standing will present a somewhat peculiar phase at this early date. Anyway, Lewell's defea1 of Bisbee last Sunday gives the mid !. dle town folk hope that they will pass the lemon platter along to Warren tomorrow. That's the way it looks from the gulch.

 HEATED ARGUMENT
Stanley Is Shot Down by Officer at Capote Pass
 Below Cananea
DISPUTE OVER HORSE

CANANI1A, Sonora. Mexico. April l1.--An American. known by Jhe name of Standley. was killed on Wednesday afternoon in Capote Pass by policemen who were in quest of settling an argument over the owner ship of a horse which the dead man was riding at the ime.

 It is said that when the men were on their way out cf town they were stopped by a Mexican who claimel that the morse St2ndley Nas riding was his property and demanded that the animal he surrendered to him. However Standiey refused to give up the animal. saying that it was presented to hiE' by a friend recent. ly The Mexican returned to town where he asked the assistance of the police to recover his horse. On this quest the police started out afte, the men. catching up with them in the pass.

 Both mon are said to have been fairly we'll intoxicated when they were seen passing through the town during the early portion of the after noon. and it is believed that when the police caught Lp with him that he thought that the man who asked for the horse had secured the assist ance of his friends To take the animal by force. Ayers, however. saw tha, the men were policemen. and there fore surrendered. Had the men been sober the shooting would not have occurred.
