NAVY MEN WORRIED.
Report England's New BattIeship Will
Have 15.Inch Guns.

Navy officials are worried regard
ing the persistent reports that Great
Britain is to have a battleship equip
ped with ten 15-inch guns and built to
make speed of 28 nautical miles an
hour.
Within the last week rumors from
several sources have reached the Bu-
reau of Naval Intelligence, and, al.
though no direct information is avail
able, officials state that it looks plaus.
ible. Last year when, the characteris
tics of Great Britain's new ship were
announced, it was stated that she
would be equipped with "12-inch A
guns. On completion it developed
that the guns were 13 1-2 inches in
bore and that the A" stood for / IL
inches.
The announcement of the character.
istics Of this years ship includes ter
"l3 1-2-inch A" guns and a speed OF
28 nautical miles. If "a" means the
same this year as it did last, Great
Britain's new battleship will be ready
to go into commission within two
years, thus beating the new American
battleship Pennsylvania by several
months.

AN OYSTER CONFERENCE.
Maryland and Virginia to Consider
Oyster Pollution Conference in
Washington.

Next Monday at the New Willard
Hotel in Washington a conference
between the Maryland Shellfish Com
mission and the Virginia State Com
mission of Fisheries in regard to the
pollution of oyster beds in the Poto-
mac river will be held.
Governor Mann, of Virginia, wired
Governor Goldsborough Tuesday that
the request the Maryland Commission
to meet that of Virginia to take up
this subject, and Governor Go!dsbor-
ough immeditely concurred. In sddi-
tion Governor Goldsborough has asked
the commander of the State Fish
cry Force to attend.
The Pure Food Bureau ih Washing
ton recently reported that oysters in
the Potomac river are polluted to a
distance of about 100 miles below
Washington, or to Blackstone s Island,
in WestmJreland county.
The pollution is supposed to come
from the sewage of Washington.
Commissioner Lee, of the Virginia
commission, takes strong exceptions
to his allegation and demand that
the report unfavorable to the Vir-
ginia and Maryland oysters be probed
to the bottom.

CUNNING FOR CRAP SHOOTERS.
Officer Garner Of EastpOrl Determined
to Break Up Reprehensible Practice

Officer Garner, of Eastport, is
determined to break up the repre-
hensible practice of crap shooting.
Suspecting a crap game was in pro-
gress at the corner of Second street
and Chester avenue, Eastport, on Sun
day, officer Garner started on the
trail, determined to break up the
game.
The officer followed the trail to
First sereet, thence to what is known
as the Werntz property, which ID en-
tirely surrounded by a thick hedge.
With quiet, stealthy tread, he crept
upon the crap shooters until only a
hole in the hedge fence separated
them. Wnen that hole was filled by
Officer Garner the surprise of those
crap shooters was startling, and some
swift movements were observed on
the part of the participants in the
game.
But they were quickly rounded up
and marched to Justice Meade
Office, where the following deposited
$3.75, after which each one departed
on their gloomy way: Charles But
Ter, George Carroll, Charles Carroll,
John Galloway, Walter Galloway, Rich
ard Gray, Charles Furgenson. Officer
Garner is determined to stop crap
shooting in this village.

SWALLOWS DEADLY TO BEES
Ibey Take The Honey Maker as Foo.
for Young Birds.

Possibly some of your readers may
not be aware that all swallows are
very destructive to bees, writes q
correspondent from Samer Pas de
Calais
This year we have, in the north of
France, had an abundance of Swal-
lows. They have always taken vety
kindly to a greenhouse in our garden,
which stands near the beehives, and
hitherto we have encouraged them TO
build in it; but this year my wife and
the gardener noticed them catching tn
bees as they returned honey-laden to
the hives, and carrying them off 10
their young ones in the conservatory.
So we began to destroy the nests,
and brought upon ourselves enemies
from both sides. The swallows fought
desperately for their rights. and when
the doors were at last closed against
them words cannot express the vio-
lence of the language which they used,
sitting outside upon the caves. On
the other hand, when any one came
from the nests with the swallow scent
upon them they were prosecuted by
the bees.
The swallows feed their young upon
the bees and are specially mischiev-
Gus in hindering the swarms. but do
not see to get them themselves for di
rectly the young onesIare fiedged they
no longer frequent the hives. should
did that hitherto we have not been
very successful in Bookkeeping, and
now attribute this to the swallows: /:
whether we shall do better this year
after the measures we have taken re-
mains to be seen. Selbourne Maga

WILL ENTER SUIT.
Col. Powell Of ElicOtt City Times Want:
Campaign Funds Report.

Col William S. Powell, of Ellicott
City and for many years editor of the
Ellicott City Times, has notified the
Democratic State Central Committee
and former State Senator Arthur p.
German that unlesg he is paid
S2,O46.09 by November next he will
enter suit against the committee and
MIR. German.
In the Gubernatorial campaign
Colonel Powell had charge of the lit
erary bureau at headquarters. He
claims that he spent this money in
promoting the contest.
In his letter to Gen. Murray Vandi-
yer, chairman and treasurer of the
State Central Committee, Colonel
Powell declares that in addition ia
suing him he will also enter suit
against the American Bonding Com:
pany, which went on General Vandi-
ver's bond.
When General Vandiver filed his
belated report of campaign receipts
and expenses last February he in.
cluded the indebtedness of S2,046. .Os
to Colonel Powell.
Although General Vandiver declined
to discuss the suit, it is known that
the members of the State Central
Committee believe that if the money
is due Colonel Powell it should be paiC
by Senator German, as it is declared
that Colonel Powell was placed al
headquarters by Senator German.
Friends of Senator German contend
that the Senator is not responsible
for the bills made by Colonel Powell
They assert that he did not person
ally authorize them.

HERE TOMORROW NIGHT.
Those Funny Fellows Mutt and Jeff
at the Colonial Theatre.

Mutt and jeff and their entire
family of fun makers, singers and
dancers, come to the Colonial Theatre
tomorrow night.
Evening capital and Maryland gazette., 1912-09-26

"Mutt and jeff" hold the record
as the most successful cartoon play
in theatrical history. Not alone that.
but it is now acknowledged the finan-
cial success of the season, which means
practically the most meritorious
musical production of the gear. The
critics have said 1.-THE people are
saying it all over the country. Bcx
Office records prove it.
To have created such a furore
Mutt and jeff" must be worthy of
your patronage, as well, as it was of
the patronage of others wno laud it
to the skies. 1t is a musical comedy
on entirely new and unique lines, full
of fun and good music, introducing
those two inimitable character crea-
tion of Bud Fishers genius with the
pencil.

THAT AWFUL STENCIL.
Why the Baltimore HarbOr Smells
Bad.

The going out and coming into the
Baltimore harbor is sickening expert
ence. The stencil is rank and "smells
to heaven" The awful odors spoil any
trip by water out of Baltimore
The Baltimore American explains
the bad smelling harbor thus:
THAT the odor from the harbor is
due to the choking Of one of the sani-
tary sewers is the theory advanced
yesterday by Sewerage Engineer Heno-
rick. He submitted report to Mayor
Preston explaining the return of the
odors. He said that they disappeared
almost entirely after the new sewage
pumping station had been put into
operation. Recently he explained, one
of the sanitary sewers became clogged,
causing the sewage to overflow anc
nnd its way as of yore into the harbor,
This defect has now been rectifed
and the Sewerage Engineer predicts
that the harbor odors will soon abate. .

HEAVIEST RAINFALL
IN FORTY-ONE YEARS
And indications Point to Two
More Days Of Storm.
PRECIPITATION SIX INCHES.
Has Been Raining Almost INCREASINGLY
Since 6 O'clock Monday Morning
High Tide.

For the past sixty hours. Mary,
land and other Eastern states have
been in the grip of a heavy
southeast storm and the rain
fall has smashed all records of the
Weather Bureau of the last forty
one years.
Official records show that since the
storm set in Monday morning at
O'Clock, the total precipitation ha:
been over six inches And not one
bit of encouragement is offered by the
scientists who gauge the weather
conditions. 1t has been raining al.
most increasingly since z O'Clock las;
night
Between that hour and O'Clock
there was a drenching rain, and many
of the city residents who responded
to an alarm of fire in the western sec.
tion of the city, caught without um.
brellas or other provisions for shelter,
got "a good soaking. Here is the
forecast sent out by the Weather
Bureau this morning: Unsettled
weather today and Thursday"
And, from the general conditions
today, this forecast will be amply
fulfilled. 1t has been raining and
blowing without interruption, and
with the continued east and south
east winds, the tide has reached the
highest mark of years. Last night
the water was above the abutments
of the City Dock and streets along
the waterfront were inundated.
Water also was up in the backyards
of many residents of that section.
The heaviest fall of rain at any
station in the United States was re-
corded i'm Baltimore, according to the
Washington Bureaus report which
was based upon readings taken at
o'clock last evening. The precipita-
tion registered was 5.48 inches.
Not since September Ii and 15,
1914. has there been two days of rain
fall in Maryland even approaching
that of Monday and yesterday, so far
as total precipitation is concerned.
The record for those two days in the
fall of 1904 was sos inches. This
was counted for the period of 4S
hours, however; while for the 36
hours preceding the reading at the
local bureau last night more than
inches had fallen.
On September 6, 1895, A.76 inches
fell. This came nearer yesterday s
record than the total of any day in
the history of the bureau. To hnd
another day of heavy rainfall the rec
ords had 20 be searched back as far as
1885. On June 2S of that year 4.47
inches was recorded. This was the
"big mark" of the records at the
time, for it exceeded the fall of any
two days before, the nearest approach
to it being the rain which came on
August 13 and Ia, 1873. The total
rainfall for those two days was 4.36
inches.
From time immemorial it has been
customary to speak Of the bad spell
of weather which usually comes to-
ward thu last of September and March
as the "equinoctial storms. - These
disturbances are attributed somewhat
vaguely to the passing of the sun over
the equator on the semi-annual shift
ing of the earth in it's orbit. But
meteorologists scoff now and challenge
the unscientific to produce proof.
''There is no such thing a. an equi-
noctial storm, is the calm but final
assertion of the United States Wealth
er Bureau, and all of its employees.

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu.
factured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces OF the svs-
tenn. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure
