FLOATING TRAINING SCHOOLS.
Plan Established bV Secretary Daniels
Works Benefit to Enlisted Men.

Secretary Daniels will extend to
every ship in the Navy the system Of
instruction of apprentice seaman iu
common school study and advanced
classes in technical branches which
he recently established at naval train
ing schools.
Secretary Daniels said yesterday
his object in establishing the floating
schools was to encourage every en-
listed man to choose some branch or
trade to follow in the service which
would fit him for civil life in case he
did not re-enlist.
This system Of instruction, y
said Secretary Daniels, "ought to
convince the people at large that SER
vice in the Navy is not purely exclu-
lively militsry; that the time Of the
enlisted men is net completely given
up to occupations that unfit them for
civil pursuits, but that the man is
the gamer, not only physically and
mentally, but in many practical mat
ters that affect his success in life.
I'm other words. the new plan is
calculated to convince both men and
their next to kin that the Navy is In
truth manual training school and
that service afoat is an educational
advantage to those who enlist.

THE TOURISTS ROAD
BRINGS S|GHTSEERS
The W. B. & A. the Medium Of
Linking Annapolis to the
Outside World.
VISITORS SPEND MONEY HERE.
The Electric Line Places Annapolis
in Forefront Of Nation Wide
Publicity Movement.

Through the efforts OF the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railroad Company, Annapolis
is becoming one of the great resorts
of the country for tourists and sight
seers.
Thousands of tourists visit the
National Capital and Baltimore every
year, and since the opening of the
Electric Line these are being attract
ed to Annapolis in incre 4singly large
numbers each year. During the past
spring it was common sight TO see
parties of fifty to cne hundred or
more persons strolling through the
Naval Academy grounds or intere sted-
ly viewing the old and remarkable
buildings Of our town under the guild
ance of tourist agent of the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Elec-
trio Railroad Company.
Parties of loo to 500 people were
brought here from Washington and
Baltimore daily by the Electric Line,
and in addition to these, large num-
ber of Individual visitors. In a gre at
many cases these people spent money
at the hotels and souvenir shops in
town. and in the aggregate a great
amount Of money was left in Annapo-
lis by them.
A representative of The Capital
who has recently interviewed an Off
cial of the Electric Line, is assure d
that this business must continue to
grow, and campaign is already un.
der way through which it is hoped
much larger number will be brought
to the old town in the coming spring
than has ever visited it before.
Agencis have been established in
many of the important cities of the
country for the purpose of boosting
interest in Maryland's Capital, and
the success of these efforts is plainly
attested by the large number of
strangers visiting Annapolis. The
accomplishment of this has necessi-
tated large expenditure by the rail-
road company, which has distributed
three quarters of million pieces of
matter relative to Annapolis, and has
advertised the attractions of the
town in many of the principle tourist
mag lzines published in the United
States for the purpose of developing
this business.
Handsomely framed views of the
Naval Academy have been distributed
among the important tourist agents
throughout the country, and from
these various offices handsomely illus
trated and descriptive booklets of An
napolis have been widely distributed.
Through this means Annapolis is in
the forefront of the nationwide pub
licity movement, and ii is confidently
expected that the prosperity of the
community will be mate rally assiste
as the number of tourists and sight
seers to this city increases, as it
surely will as the result of the con-
tinual advertising of the city on the
large scale on which it is now being
conducted by the railroad company.

Bryan in Baltimore Address.

In clear-cut, straightforward :
shoulder speeches last night Blair
Lee and other candidates of the DEM
ocratic party aroused the me mbers of
the Eleventh Ward Democratic Club
to their sense of duty in the general

The hall was crowded, enthusiasm
appeared unbounded and regulars
and progessives alike declared that
the straight ticket" would be sup
ported without lubt.
Senator Lee took the occasion TO
say that the time had arrived when
thinking men had to acknowledge
William j. Bryan a conservative

that the Secretary of State was the
only man in the party with the hardi-
hood to 60 back to ante-bellum days
and resurrect party policies and plat
form pl Anks which had become

FLEW OVER GERMAN STEAMER
Navy AviatOrs in Flying Boat Inspire
Passengers Of the KONG Albert
in Bay.

For the second time within a few
days, says the Baltimore American,
a hydroplane, or flying boat from the
aviation school at Annapolis visited
this port yesterday, and without
making any stop turned about and
headed down the Patapsco river, pre-
sumably for Annapolis.
The flying boat was sighted by the
maritime observer at Sparrows
Point, which place was passed by the
ae rial craft at IL 20 a m. The ma
chine continued on up the river, pass
ed into the harbor, made several
graceful turns and dips, snd at about
200 feet in the air continued in its
voyage.
In the machine were two aviators,
and the operator seemingly had the
craft under perfect control. On the
way back to Annapolis the flying boat
passe over the North German Lloyd
steamship KONG Albert within close
view of the passenges, who were
swestruek by the exhibition.
As told in last nights Capital, the
pilots cf the craft during the flight
were Lieutenants James Murray anC
Victor Herbster.

WHO is HE?
Man Says He Was A Naval Officer
Navy Department Has Mystery.

Ths Navy Department has mys-
! terry on ITS hands and for the last few
days has been trying to solve it. II
appears that in June, 1907, a pas
.enger on train at Waseca, Mimi,
was taken i'll and removed from the
train. He had nothing on his person
TO Identify him in any way.
On April "a, 1908, he was removed
to the state hospital at Rochester.
Mimi, where he gradually improved.
The man was paIalyzed, speechless
and unable to give an account of him
self, although be triee to make almost
ineligible gestures. The man was
thought to have been a former naval
officer and who indicates that his in
itials are -. C. R." and whose home
at one time was in Baltimore.
Some time ago the officials at the
Rochester hospital asked the Navy
Department to assist them in locat-
Ing friends or relatives of the man.
The Navy Department so far has
failed in all its efforts to trace the
man as naval officer or to find his
relatives.
Recently the officials in the hos
pital reported that the man became
greatly excited when he was shown a
picture of the battleship New York,
Admiral SIMPSONS flagship during
the Spanish-American War. BY ges
lures. the injured man intimated that
he had carried a sword and stood on
the bridge of the ship.
Officers of the Navy who wers on
the New York. and who are now in
Washington, failed to identify the
man by pictures sent from Rochester,
Mimi, and )n file at the Navy De-
psrtment The man in the hospital
indicated that he was born in Balti-
more. November "a, 1864, and that he
attended the Presbyterian Church.
His father, it is believed, is naval
officer
Some few weeks ago the man was
operated on and large cyst was
found or the left side of the brain
and was drained since then he has
gained rapidly. His mind is growing
stronger and he is now able to recall
some of his past. He remembers his
initials, but does not know what they
stand for.

Wiley DISCUSSES
THE COST OF LIVING
Food Expert Tells How to Re-
duce it.
OPENS SESSION in CHICAGO.
Exhibit Modern Means Of Preserving
Conserving and Transporting
Foods.

The six sections of the Information
al Congress and Exposition of Refrig
Grafton arranged their temporary or.
ganizations in Chicago yesterday
preparatory TO a weeks discussion OF
the most modern means of preserv.
ing, conserving and transportation
Of foods.
The first day Of the congress was
devoted chiefly to a welcome by the
Chicago officials and % the exami-
nation of the exhibits which fiji the
large amphitheater at the Uni IN
Stock Yards. The discussion and ar
gumeuts on the problems of refriger-
alton will begin tomorrow.
The cost of living and means of
reducing it were discussed by DR..
Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the
Chemistry division of the development
Of agriculture.
THE increasing price of food is
MT due solely to its scarcity" he
said. "TheIe never was q time
when man was so well fed as at the
present. We do not have to look far
to ste the causes of the increase
cost of food.
Fret, people are eating better
foods than ever before. and second,
the purchasing medium, namely gold,
is relatively far more abundant than
ever before, hence the quantity of
food il will purchase is decidedly
less. The great staples, the cereals,
however, are not as expensive at the
present time as during the past.
''For days labor a man can buy
more wheat than he could 20 or so
years ago. 1t is the part of scien-
tific nutrition as well az social econ
omy to increase the quantity of GER
sals in our foods and to diminish
those nutriments which are of less
necessity and of increasingly higher
price.
''To my mind it seems the most
important factor of the day is to
check the aggregation of men in the
cities and to encourage the distribu-
fion of the great industries where
men are employed.
"The factory in a farm neighbor-
hood is boon to every farmer, afford
ing him a home market and saving
the cost of transportation. The
moral and mental effect upon the peo-
pie of a distribution of industries is
no less important. The saloon has
no compelling attraction for the la
boring man, who after his eight
hours work, has eight hours for his
flower and vegetable garden. If our
productive industries in a mauufac-
turing line were properly distributed
the alcoholic evil would be robbed Of
most of its terrors.
The unfortunate condition now
exists Of providing so-called fresh
foods in an advanced state of stale
ness and of providing gods which
should be properly aged in an inn
mature state. The cured ham is
ready for distribution within three
weeks of slaughter and the four-year-
old whisky is made in forty seconds. -
The proper methods of distributing
foods go as to make seasonal excesses
snd efficiencies less marked, Dr.
Wiley said, was to extend the seasons
for fresh foods by proper methods of
production and by intelligent and
proper preservation of food products.

WHOSE CAR WAS THIS?
Costly Touring Automobile Burned at
Waters Edge.

A handsome touring car, seating
eight passengers, and a car that
must have cost UPWARDS of $5, 200,
was burned to cinders on Sunday
night on the farm of Mr.. O'Reardon
near Clements Greek, on the Severn
River.
The car was ran with appare mt
deliberation to the waters edge, and
was seen to be ablaze in few min
utes. The burning of the machine
was watched with awe by people Oh
the opposite side of the Severn.
Nobody seems to know whose tour
ing car il was, or why it was allowed
to burn up, and the entire occurrence
is shrouded in mystery. All that
is left of the costly car is the iron
and metal work Of its construction.
