The map of Maryland has changed this
year, and very few people have noticed
it and still fewer appreciate its signif-
canoe.
For many years i has never been pos
s!ble for passengers to travel east and
west across Chesa peake Bay, and, In or
der to reach that large section OF the
State of Maryland and Virginia. it was
necessary to go to Baltimore and trans
fer across that city and take a Ions
steamer trip down Chesapeake Bay. Now
all that is necessary is to take one of the
electric cars to Annapolis and connect
With the steamer line at that point max

The saving in time for people OF Wash
ingtOn is from four to twelve hours, in
addition TO the great convenience Of no:
having to transfer across the city OF
Baltimore.
This new service via Annapolis has
now made arrangements to carry the
United States mail, which will add
greatly 10 its services to the public.

HURT ON GUNBOAT.

Vallejo. Cal, Dec. 6.-Taken unCOn-
scioss from the gunboat Vicksburg last
night, Mrs. Andrew Muller, of this city,
was found at hospital to-day to be
suffering from a fractured skull.
In endeavoring to learn the facts. the
Vallejo police encountered, at the Mare
Island Navy Yard, where the Visksburg
is stationed, a sprojectile-proof reticence.
The only statement they could obtain
was that Mrs. Muller, in mounting to
the upper deck, preparatory to going
ashore, had leaned on the manrope of the
gangway, and fell when the rope broke.
From other sources the police learned
that Mrs. Muller went aboard the Yicks-
burg last night with Miss Jennie Glib

Message to Congress.
UNALTERABLY OPPOSES

Suggestion Is Made that Col. Goe-
thalS Be Promoted to
Major General.

The second of a series of short mes
sages. which President Taft has pre-
pared for the guidance of Congress dur
ing the short session, was read in both
houses here to-day. The message was
devoted to fiscal. judicial, military, and
!nsular affairs.
The President stated that trade con-
dItiOns in the United States were never
IN better condition and that the coun-
try was apparently well on the way
toward an unexampled period of pros
perity He recommended reforms, how
ever, in the present banking and cur
Rncy laws, CharaCterizing this legisla-
ton as the crying need of the Coun-
try The plan advocated by the Presi-
dent as one which would rehabilitate
banking and currency was that proposed
by the Monetary Commission in its re-
port in February. 1910.
With reference to this plan Mr.. Taft
said: Theoretically it presents a plan
that ought to Command support Practi-
Cally II may require notifications But
in the face of the crying need that there
is for improvement in our present hank
ing and currency system. I urgently in
Vtte Congress to the proposed plan with
the hope that an earnest consideration
will suggest amendments that will lead
~ lis duOpNiOli III llc DtueuI OIL the
country"
The President also urged the enactment
of the wOrkmen's compensation bill now
pending in the House; declared for the
autonomy of Porto Rico, but denounced
the bill now pending in Congress pro-
.viding for the independence of the Phil
ppines, and. counseled the amendment
of the present law governing the dis
tribution of dam permits with a view
to the greater Improvement of the navi-
gable rivers Of the United States.
Praises Col. Cocktails.

during the past year in Panama, Pres
ident Taft spoke most highly of Col.

The President devoted a good deal or
space to the needs of the army and navy.

FILES EXPENSE REPORT
Clifford Pinchot Makes Largest Gift,
It Being for the Sum
of $500.

Nearly one thousand residents Of the
District contributed to the Bull Moose
campaign fund in amounts varying
from soc to $500. The report of Ma
tional Treasurer E. H. Hooker, of the
National Progressive Party, was filed
with South Trimble, clerk of the House,
yesterday.
In addition to upwards of $1,0O0,0 900
expended nationally and in the States
in the preoonvention campaign, it cost
the supporters of Col. Roosevelt and
his running mate S676,672.7S to wreck
the Republican party and place the
new organization in the field as the
leading minority party. This is $22S,-
154.94 less than it cost the regular Re

third showing in the Presidential han
dicap. and $434,279.52 less than 1t cost
the Democratic hosts to win.

penditures of which the national cam
paign committees take no official cog

Small Contributions.
While there are a number of large
contributions noted in the Bull Moose
statement, the bulk of the fund was
made up of thousands of contributions of
exceptionally small denominations. The
gifts range from a 1-cent contribution

Burglars Blow Safe
At Willow City, n. D.
YEeeMEN CRACK PosToFFIcE
VAULT AND SECURE BIG
HAUL.

Grand Forks, July 20.-Yeggmen, un-
doubtedly first class men at the game
blew the safe at Willow City, taking
with them about $1,100 in stamps and
stamp books and about $3.50 in cash
although this amount cannot be de-
finitely ascertained until Postmaster
Sims has his books checked up.
So far as can be learned, the men
who performed the work were not seen
nor heard. They entered the section
house and blacksmith shop in Willow
City, taking all the necessary tools
for the safe blowing and then entered
the office and made away with the
money. ...t..
The entrance to the office was made
through the front door, which is of
glass. Evidently the yeggs were heeled
with a "stone" for the glass in the
door had an eight-inch square cut out,
evidently by a diamond, and they
reached through this hole and un-
locked the door from the inside. After
the blowing they locked the door after
them.
No intimation of the crime was
given until this morning, when Post
master F. Sims opened up the office
about 1880. He found the door of the
safe blown off, the floor strewn with
blacksmith and section tools and the
safe minus all the va1uables that
were in it the night before. A hand
kerchief and a bar of soap were the
only traces of the property of the
robbers at hand and the police have
these and nothing else to work on. 1t
is not known whether the men stayed
in town or came there with an auto
or how they made their getaway. At
the present time of the year the city
is filled with strangers and the police
figure they have a hard problem to
solve.
The Job was handed as neatly as
could be. The safe door was about
eight feet from the main body. The
men had broken the indicator off and
poured the charge of nitro into the
cavity. When the explosion came the
sound was not heard by any near resi-
dent, so the men must have had the
safe we'll blanketed to muffle the noise
The explosion did not damage any 9th
er part of the office but the safe, in
dicating that the workers had their
charge we'll guarded and were old
hands at the safe blowing act.
