FARRAGUT CAMP GIVE $500!
Capt. c. P. Simms Acknowledges Sons
Of Veterans Gift-And Signs
Recent.

Some few days ago members Of
Farragut Camp No. Sons of Veter-
ans of Annapolis, sent to The Capital
poor fund the sum of five dollars in
money for the family of Capt. c. p.
Simms, of the schooner Daisie. Pre-
vious to the receipt of the SIS, The
Capital had contributed in coal and
groceries the sum of $3.50 for the
Simms family, besides three suits of
woinen's clothes, two jackets, three
hats, one suit of mems clothes, all
entirely new, contributed by a local
firm
Having been fully taken care of
by The Capital poor fund, besides the
Masons, Odd Fellows and other secret
orders, the Simms family were not in
need, and as there were so many
others in dire need il was thought
best to await the time of the leave
taking of the Daisie and the Simms
family, and then present them the
Farragut Camp money in cash, as
requested, at time when it would be
more needed.
However, there are always some
kickers. An insulting letter was
brought to this office yesterday by the
Recording Secretary, Daniel Jacobs,
l09 King George street, complaining
that the Simms family had not rec eived
the Farragut money, which, however,
had been duly acknowledged in tais
paper and credit given the Sons of
Veterans
Further than this, the Camp mem
bers visited the "Daisie" last night
and made complaint, directing Captain
Simms to call at this office this morn
ing. The Captain was asked if he had
not been we'll taken care of and he
replied" yes" He was told the SIS had
been spent on him and his family sew
eral times over by The Capital, and
the $5 was to be presented on the eve
of his leaving here, but was given
him this morning because of the un-
pleasantness created by members of
the Sons of Veterans.
The following is the Captains re-
ceipt, which may be seen at this office
any time:

The Capitals representative, Mr..

ice ten days ago to Horn Point to take
aid to the Simms family at the risk
of his own health, and still there is
fault-finding.

T0MORROW'S PROGRAM.
Good Music at a More Than Reason
able Cost at ST. Martins Recital

1t isn't often that one has the
chance to hear really good music for
only 10 cents, and everyone should
avail themselves of the opportunity,
for each of the selections to be given
at It. Martins Lutheran Church
Francis street. is Of real worth in the
musical world.
Many of the solos and duets which
will be rendered have been heard time
and again by those fortunte enough to
be able to afford to attend concerts
given by the celebrated singers Cad.
ski, Eames, Nordica and so on, both
sexes. The piano numbers are all
splendid recital pieces, which can be
heard at most any of the Peabody re-
citals.
Listening TO good music is an edu-
cation in itself, but people here have
so little chance to hear it and should.
therefore, avail themselves Of every
opportunity which comes their way.
Anyone can afford 10 cents. an
amount often spent with but little
profit or for little amusement, and in
this instance it will be spent both
proftably and well.
The following is the program:
Piano, Chaminade, Arlequine; solo,
Gumbert, Ye Merry Birds; solo de-
koven, A Winter Lullaby; duet, Ja-
dassohn, Were | a Birding; piano,

MRS. HOOKER SPEAKS.
Makes Stirring Address in Behalf Of
Votes for Women-Many Men
Present.

Last evening large gathering of
! men and women interesed in Votes
for Women" assembled in the Claude
Apartments, State Circle, at the
headquarters of the Woman Suffrage
League.
In the gathering were many MEM
bers of the General Assembly. The
meeting was presided over by Mrs.
Foster, who introduced the speakers.
The Hon. Mr.. Whiteley, Delegate
from Prince George county, spoke in
favor of suffrage, and one of the
strong points he made was that if the
General Assembly voted in favor of
Woman Suffrage it would not confer
suffrage upon women, but would be
referred to the people to be voted for
or against, giving the people the right
to decide.
Mr.. Hustler. Delegate from Allie
gany county, also spoke.
Mrs. Donald Hooker, president of
the Just Governme ut League, and a
woman of wonderful magnetism.
marked culture and literary attain
ments. made a stirring address,. She
advanced three argumentative points.
She said if the sphere of woman is
the home, therefore the home-maker
ought to have representation in
the government for the best govern
ment.
That the chief duty of women is to
briSg up children, look after schools
and moving picture shows, and the
general conditions inside the home as
we'll as outside, was Mrs. Ho0ker's
second point of argument.
Mrs. Hooker's third point was that
there are $4,000 working women in
Maryland and they need the vote to
protect themselves and to arrange
proper heads of labor and proper con-
ditions of work.
Women TO take part in the Govern
ment, said Mrs. Hooker, are only fol-
lowing their own work. One hundred
years ago all the government did was
to manage war and protect property;
now they attend to all demands of
making clothes, preparing canned
foods, looking after milk the baby
drinks and all other details. This is
woman's work, too.
When lt comes to the question
of paying taxes and obeying the
laws, said Mrs. Hooker men trea.
women like adults, but when it
comes to the question of spending
the taxes and making the laws they
must obey, they treat women like chill
dren.
The address of Mrs. Hooker was
stirring one, and received much fa-
vorable comment.

for the defendent, this crowd stood
packed in the aisles like so many sar-

the memory of her murdered mother.
Tyler, too, again showed deep feeling
and cried constantly as the lawyers
Tor the defense plead for an acquittal
on the grounds of insanity and Prose
cutor Green devoted his shot to rid
ding this plea and urged that he be
made to pay the full penalty for his
crime.
