Collector of Port McKinlay Will
Ask Relief From
Duty.

Whitfield McKinlay, collector Of the
port Of Georgetown, will submit a re-
port to the Bureau Of Navigation. De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. with
in the next day or two, asking that he
be relieved OF the duty of supervising
river craft In explanation Of this re-
quest the report will give the present
status Of affairs, and cite the fact that
Inadequate funds are allowed for the
work.
President conditions are complained Of
as deplorable. The collectors office has
no boat to do patrol or inspection duty.
and no BOAT that might be used for the
apprehension Of violetors Of the naviga-
ton laws. The harbor police force does
nothing because the navigation laws are
outside its jurisdiction.
Many persons operate boats on the
river who know absolutely nothing
about the navigation laws and the re-
quirements for the avoidance of danger.
But few small craft on the upper river
carry lights.

Mrs. Herbert testified that her hus-
band had shown his dissatisfaction. She
declared that he should be punished

jail. The husband told the court he
would take his wife home and change
his mind about leaving her.
"A woman changes her mind" said

MILITARY DRILLS
PROVE FEATURE
OF JUNE WEEK
Exhibition Interesting Alike
to the Experts and to the
Uninitiated.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 4-To most
Of those attracted to Annapolis by the
exercises and functions of June week"
the series OF drills presented for the
inspection of the board Of visitors this
morning was probably the most inter-
esting feature. To those who are un-
accustomed to military drills on such a
scale. the exhibition was novel and
inspiring, while to the experts in such
things, In which are included a large
number of Naval Academy graduates,
who make Annapolis their mecca during
the great week, the drills were likewise
of great interest, as illustrating the
close touch which is kept at the Acad-
emy on the latest developments of
the most modern tactics.
The drill today was under the general
charge Of Commander L. M. Mutton, the
head of the Department Of Ordnance
and Gunnery. Lieut. Commander Ralph
Earle was the infantry drill officer, and
Lieut. Commander Allan Buchanan
had charge Of the artillery drill. The
drill was in three divisions, a street
riot drill, q skirmish drill and artillery
formations. The first battalion exhib-
tied the first portions of the exhibition
and the second illustrated the artil-
lery maneuvers.
Street Riot Drill.
In the street riot drill, the movements
used In entering a hostile town were
illustrated. Hollow squares were formed
and the different units OF section, COM
pany and battalion advanced, marched
to the flank and to the rear, a hollow
wall Of humanity with bristling bayo-
nets protecting on every side. Finally
the whole battalion took this formation,
with the commanding officer and STAFF,
and the colors protected within.
The movements necessary for an ad-
vance through streets in which each
illustrated. From the company hollow
squares the fiankers were advanced to
right and left. forming a broad line
which would sweep the streets, while
the rear rank formed reserve. The
most interesting formation of all was
column of companies. and each COM
pany forming by sections TO right and
left, forming protecting wall. through
which the rear companies marched.
The skirmish drill was a graphic rep
resentation of the beginning and prog
ress of an encounter of two infantry
forces from the time the outposts sighted
the enemy and retreated to the firing
line. until the little band Of survivors
formed a square and opposed a hedge Of
bayonets to the charge which at last
overwhelmed them.
Midshipman Saunders, the honor man
Of the graduates, commanded the little
defensive force consisting of one COM
pany. and made a gallant and tactcally
correct defense, though 1t was ordained
that he was to yield to superior num-
bers.
