Virginia Rawn smiled, and turned
the pages. The next journal had little
else but detailed discussion of the
Rawn collapse. 1t also asserted the
scheme of the International Power
company was the most bold and ra-
pacious fraud of the day. With jour
nalistic vaticination it insouciantly de-
clared that the intention Of the COM
pany was to establish central distribut-
ing points for power stolen from the
public's great water powers, and the
retail Of what the journal in the argot
OF the day called canned power, in
cheap and portable small motors ap-
plicable to countless semi-mechanical
uses, all with an end of abolishing the
need for horse power and for man
power alike. The result, it pointed
out, would be the throwing out of
work Of countless thousands of labor
ing men by the use Of electricity
stolen from the people themselves.
The gigantic combination already was
covering the main water powers. The
peoples present openly had been dis
regarded, the peoples future openly
and patiently had been put in the
gravest Of peril. The entire system
of government had been laid by the
heels. The name of the republic had
been made a mockery. Above all, it
was asserted, the most intimate in
tent of the International Power COM
pany had been the throttling Of the
labor unions-against which John
Rawn was known to be personally bit
terly opposed-the very essence and
soul of the conspiracy having been
this device whose aim was to wipe out
the need of unskilled labor, and to
make useless and unpaid the power of
human Drawn.
Following these assertions-which
after all were not in the least bad jour
nalism, however good or bad had been
the design of International Power
the same journal exultantly declared
that labor need not yet despair, for
that the gigantic conspiracy now had
fallen in ruins; its leader had abdi-
Gated and fed, and his ill-gotten gains
had been dissi2ated in his last des-
perate attempt 10 save his holdings in
otheg stocks. In bis ultimate fight he
had surrendered the control Of the In
ternational, so long aid desperately
held in his ownership, and now was

SHOT DURING QUARREL.
COlOred Farmland Of Frank Jarisky Of
Glen Burnie, Victim, Dies at
Hospital.

Shot during an alteration with
another colored man on the farm of
Frank Jarisky, near Glenburnie, this
cornty, Frank Washington, colored
farm hand. was rush ed to the Univer-
sity Hospital, in Baltimore, yester-
day afternoon in dying condition.
Despite the efforts of the physicians
at the institution he expired at 4:l5
o'clock. Milton Oden, also colored,
is being hell by the police authorities
charged with the shooting and says
that he fired in self defense. The
Brooklyn police are looking for two
other negroes, who, it is said, par
ticipated in the quarrel.
Yesterday afternoon Patrolman
William F. Hawkins, of the Curtis
Bay and Brooklyn police, received a
telephone message that a man had
been shot on Jarisky's farm. He
reported the matter to Police Chic
Irwin and the latter haste ned to
the scene. On arriving Chief Irwin
found that Washington had bee n
sent to the University Hospital by
DR.. Thomas Bravshaw, of Glenbur-
ME, who had been called Immediately
after the shooting.
According to the police, the four
men became involved in an argu-
ment yesterday afternoon. during
which 0den is alleged to have
whipped out a revolver and to have
shot Washington. Oden claims that
Washington attacked him and that
he shot in self-defense. The man
charged with the shooting made no
attempt to escape and when Chief
Irwin appeared on the scene he sur
rendered to him. He will probably
be arraigned before Justice Frank
A. Wolfram, at Brooklyn, this morn.

cedes, has completed its work and
forwarded a report to Washington for
conside ration of Secretary Daniels.
The conclusions of the board were not
made public here.
Commander John F. Hines was
president of the board. Lloyd, itNwill
be recalled, was found in lumber
yard in the western section of the
city one night several weeks ago with
bullet wound through the left
lung. He died the following day at
the Naval Hospit a. A board of in
quest appointed at the time came to
the conclusion that Lloyds death was
the result of suicide.
The Navy Department, apparently,
not satisfied with this verdict, how
ever. ordered the board of inquiry
If the mans death came in any man

ulations "killed in the line of duty

and his estate would, therefore, be
entitled to six months of his pay. In

FOOTBALL SQUAD IS
NOW ABOUT COMPLETE
Powerful Looking Lot Of Players
on Gridiron Today.
LATIMORE MAY NOT PLAY.
Candidate for Tackle Nursing Injuries
by Fall Sustained at Home in
Tennessee.

- As the academic year begins on
Wednesday, and the rigid routine of
studies, recitations, drills and prac-
tical exercise will greatly cuItail
their time. Navy football players
have been availiug themselves of all
spare time during the last few days
by appearing for practice both in the
morning and afternoon.
Today the squad had long workout
in the morning and in the afternoon
the Varsity mixed 1t up with the
scrubs in lively style. The squad is,
perhaps, the most formidable that
ever donned Navy moleskins. Nearly
all of the veterans of last years
team, and subtitutes, have taken on
weight. fhe squad was augmeted by
more arrivals since Saturday, and it
was husky bunch that came out to-
day.
During the morning the players
were put through a good bit of ele-
mentary work and signal and forma-
tion drills. The Varsity eleven, as
it has been tentatively organized, is
a powerful looking organization, con-
tanning, as it does, nine of last years
winning team. Here is how they
were lined up today: Gilchrist, (cap-
tain), and overesch, ends; Ralston
and Kennedy, tackles; Howe and
Brown, guards; Perry, centre; Wes-
sell, quarterback; Leonard and Nc
Reavy halfbacks; Harrison, fullback.
The two new men in this combina-
tion are Kennedy, in the position Of
Hall, who graduated, and VESSEL,
who succeeds Rhodes resigned. Ken
uedy and Vessel were '..plebe" last
year Kennedy is a big fellow and
should make good at tackle, while
Vessel, who is a stockily built lad, is
putting much spirit into his work in
the pivotal position.
1t became known today that Thomas
q. Latimore, Jr., a first classman,
who was regarded as likely candi-
date for the vacant position at tackle,
may not be able to play at all this
season. He is confined to his home
in Tennessee suffering with injuries
recently sustained by falling down a
hill. The extent of his injuries is not
known here.

MAY FILL VACANCY TONIGHT.
Governor to Name Man for Public
Service Commission in Place Of
DR.. Herring.

1t ia understood that Governor
GoldsborougL will announce his selec-
tion for the Public Service Commits
sion, to succeed the late DR.. Joshua
w. Herring, either today or tomorrow.
The Governor, who has been spend
ing several days in Cambridge, ar
rived here this afternoon. Friends Of
Albert G. Towers, of Caroline county,
seem confident that he will be APP
pointed. Mr.. Towers is said to have
the support Of Morris A. Soper, presi-
dent of the Board of Police Commits
sioners, who is regarded as one Of the
men upon whom the Governor will
rely most heavily for advice in the
matter.
1t is also said that Mr.. Towers has
won the backing of a number of
others who will have influence with
the Governor in framing his choice.
Mr.. Towers trie 1ds say that if he is
appointed it will be entirely upon
his merit. They contend that the
Governor has nothing to gain politi-
cally by naming him, and that their
personal relations, while close, are
not such as would inpel an appoint
ment on that ground alone.
Friends of Judge Oscar Lesser, who
has been regarded as the principal
opponent to Mr.. Towers, have been
working aggressively in his behalf,
and they, too, seem to think they
will win. Judge Lesser has been con-
sidered the radical candidate as
against Mr. Towers, the conserva-
tive, and il was thought he would
have the strong antagonism of the
corporate interests. To some extent,
at least, this does not seem to be true.

sion of the institution will begin, the

The faculties of the several de-
partments have been strengthened

lieves that the university is about to

come q great State university. In
the medical schooi there will be 130
teachers, while the law school will
have %.
The pharmaceutical and dental de-
psrtments will undergo little change
in the teaching force. 1t is planned to
open the medical, dental and pharma-
ceutical schools on Wednesday, when
the total enrolment is expected to
be at least third larger than ever
before.
Among the new students to study
law at the university will be William
Woodward, of this city, formerly &
