CLAIMS TORPEDO BOAT
CONSTITUTES A NUISANCE
John Thomas Complains to Commerce
Department Against the Barney's
Actions on River.

A complaint made by John Thomas
of the firm of Weber &Thomas to the
effect that the torpedo boat Barney is
constituting itself a nuisance on the
river, endangering smaller craft, and
that its pilot recently directed its
searchlight upon his launch and held
it there, has been referred by the De
partment of Commerce to the Navy
Department, under whose jurisdiction
the Barney comes.
In letter to the Department of
Commerce, Mr. Thomas declared that
while coming up the Potomac river on
the night of July %. in the launch j.
ii. Bradley, of which he was in charge,
the Barney, also coming up the river,
blew to signal that it was going tC
pass the ]. II. Bradley.
1t then blew a distress signal, MIR.
Thomas asserts, but no sooner had this
been done than the torpedo boat pass
ed the launch within ten feet. Mr..
Thomas also declared in his letter to
the Department of Commerce that the
Barney's searchlight was directed
upon his vessel and held there in de-
fiance of the laws of the river.
Officials of the Commerce Depart
ment said that the matter had been re-
ferred to the Navy department. and
that the Bureau of Navigation could
not interfere in the ease, as the vessel
comes without the jurisdiction of the
Department of Commerce.
Were the proper specific proof laid
before the department, an official said,
tending to show that the pilot of the
Barney willfuly held his searchlight
upon the smaller craft, the Bureau OF
Navigation might proceed against the
pilot in question to the extent of TAX
ing his licenes away from him. Officials
of the Department of Commerce were
reticent about expressing anv opinion
as to whether the Barney is constitute
ing herself n nuisance on the river.

CROP DAMAGE DWINLES
Havoc Done By Storm to Small Ship.
ping Grows Greater.

Reassuring reports regarding the
damage done to crops by the storm of
wednesday morning come from Balti-
more, AnneArundel and Howard coun-
ties. The farmers have taken stock
and find that the situation is decidedly
more hopeful than appeared on We'd
esday and Thursday.
The corn is in much better shape
than was thought. A few days of good
weather will save most of it. Some
was beaten to the ground and ruined
beyond hope. but the greater part will
straighten up and get over the result
of the storm unless heavy ranis should
come during the next day or two.
The damage to small shipping was
greater than was believed. Hardly a
powerboat or small sailboat around
the city escaped damage of one kind or
another. Many owners have spent the
last two days in cleaning them up
and trying TO repair the damage.
ship carpenters and boat builders
were fairly swamped with work.

PUSHING WORK ON NEW
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
New Building viii Be Ready For Open
ing in September---CIOek Tower
is Being Installed in The
Handsome Main Building.

A clock tower is being erected over
the main building of the new State
Normal School on York road. at Tow
son, Baltimore county. II is expect
ed TO add greatly TO the beauty Of the
structure. The tower was in the orig
inal plans. but the sum available ap-
peared TO be insufficient and the struc-
ture was erected without it,
Later It was found that enough
money had been saved from the other
buildings to erect the tower and il is
now in course OF construction. The
tower is similar in size and architec-
ture to the one on the Johns Hopkins
University main ediiice at Homewood
The clock will probably not be install
ed at once, the funds IN hand being in
adequate at this time.
Finishing touches are being put
on the main building. while the dorm
itOr and powerhouse are completed.
Bids are now being prepared for the
furniture. which is to be in keeping
with the building. The boilers in the
powerhouse were tested recently and
worked satisfactorily. This edifice
contains heating plant and electric
generators. Whether the lighting
equipment will be used at present or
whether the school authorities will
buy current will depend upon which is
the cheaper of the two.
Grading of the grounds is about
completed and the material for the
drives and the sidewalks has been de
livered There will be three entran-
ces .from the York road. One will
start at a point to the north of the
main building and will extend in the
form of a semi-circle along the front
of the main building and out again to
the York road, at a point TO the south
of them ain building
The third entrance will be from the
York road direct to the dormitory.
There will also be driveways connect
ing all the buildings and concrete
sidewalks. The buildings and grad
ing will cost $S25,000 and the furni-
ture will be paid for out Of the pro
ceeds of the sale to the city Of Balti-

The first school term in the new in
stitution will begin September 13 and
the buildings will be dedicated the
later part of October. Miss Richmond,

u. S. S OKLAHOMA'S FIRE

ShipbuiIders' Investigation Fails to
Find Any Trace Of an Incendiary.

After a thorough examination while
tbe damage was being repaired, OIL
cials OF the New York Shlpbuilding
Company are convinced that the nre
which swept the hold of the dread
naught Oklahoma several weeks ago

Government inspectors in charge OF
the construction work at the shipyard
are likewise assured that there is no
foundation for the incendiary theory
suggested when no one could discover
the origin of the blaze.
Reports tc this effect have been sent
10 the Navy Department at Washing
ton. an din so far as the Government
is concerned the probe to determine
the cause of the fire is completed
Work on the latest dreadnaughas Is

Harry Thaw a Wiser
and a Better Man

anu ~ DctttT mul
Had Harry Thaw been a poor man
he would probably have long ago suf-
fered the extreme penalty of the law
for his crime. That he is alive and
free today is due entirely to his wealth
His case is an illustration of the fact
so ably described by Henry George:
'In spite of our laws, any one who
has money enough and wants to kill
another way to get into any one of our
great centers of population and busi-
ness, and crafty his desire, and then
surrender himself to Justice, with the
chances as a hundred to one that he
will suffer no greater penalty than a
temporary Imprisonment and the loss
of sum proportional partly to his
own wealth and partly to the wealth
and standing of the man he kills.
His money will be paid, not to the
family of the murdered man, who have
lost their protector, not to the state
which has lost a citizen, but to law
yers who understand how to secure
delays, to find witnesses, and get ju-
ries to disagree"
But true as all this is, it affords nc
reason why Thaw should be begrudg.
ed his fortunate escape. He has suf-
fered for nine years as the result OF
his crime. He has had experience
which may easily have made a great
and salutary changes even in so wild
and irresponsible a victim of an un.
earned fortune as Harry Thaw.
He is at least entitled TO a chance
to prove that his experiences have so.

SAY SILVER WILL SOAR
END OF EUROPEAN WAR
THAT IS WHY MANY BIG PRO-
DucERs OF WHITE METAL
HOLDING STOCK.

1t may be long time to wait, but
the relief to the silver market will
doubtless come after some producers
have given up hope. The fact is that
a quick relief to the present situation
is expected In some quarters where a
close study of the metal situation liz
made, and this aid Is to come from
new coinage which will be required
by the European countries noN en-
gagged in war;
The slight recovery of the metal
market of recent date has been
a feature In the markets where mia
ing shares are dealt in. Last week
the government purchased 10000
pounds of silver, making the total tax
ings August /, Of 3,425,O00 ounces.
Government Purchases.
In August the government bought
silver around Al SIS cents, but this
week the minimum price was 1917
cents an ounce and the maximum
40 IA cents. The takings of silver By
the government, lessening the ship
ments abroad, have strengthened the
European markets, and the takings
by Monsoons, India. strengthens tie
hope Of larger demand from that
quarter in the near future
One authority on the metal states
that the cessation of selling by the
Chinese banks has had good effect
on silver conditions of the world and
advices from India were to the effect
that the crops of that country would
be above normal, and with sufficient
shipping facilities provided, good
buying movement from that source
might be expected.
Opinion of ExpA,t.
Continuing, he said:
Many producers and sellers Of sill
yer feel that the price is too low We
all look for considerable Improvement
when the war is ended, however. When
you take into consideration the fact
that all the European countries viii
be on paper basis at that tima and
knowing that the gold supply of the
world will not be nearly large enough
to retire this paper, 1t can be seen
that the only thing left IS silver. The
demand that is bound 10 come then
viii fully compensate the metal inter
ests for their slim periods in the past
and they will reap benefits which no
one will estimate. That is the gem
eral feeling in the trade, and be-
lleve explains to some extent the stor-
ing OF silver by some producers who
would sell freely at present prices and
show a profit Possibly they are con-
WINGED that the conditions outlined
VIII materialize and hope to enjoy the
prosperity that we all believe will
come to not few industries, but to
oil of them after the war"
