CITY REPUBLICANS
ARE In A DILEMMA.
Chairman GLADDEN. Issued One Call for
Primary, and Majority of Execu-
tive Committee Another.

The Republicans of Annapolis seem
TO be in dilemma as to the date of
for holding their municipal primaries.
A few days ago, formal notice was
issued by John X. GLADDEN., as chair
man of the city Executive Committee,
fixing May Is as the date for holding
the primary meeting, but it now ap-
pears that Mr.. GLADDEN. took this action
without the consent of the majority
members of the executive committee.
Today another call as issued. This
call is signed by a majority of the
members of the committee, and fxss
June 9 as the date for the Republican
primaries. Furthermore, a letter
signed by the majority of the commit
tee, has been addressed to Mr.. Glad
den, calling attention to the fact.
The letter, among other things states,
that Mr.. GLADDEN. seems to overlook
the fact that it would be useless to
hold the primaries on the fifteenth of
the present month, as a new ward, the
fourth, has been created under the
revised city charter. together with the
fact that June and 8 have been fixed
as the regular registration days in
connection with the primaries and the
city election.

three witnesses had been examined.
These were William Parkinson, Sr.,
Herman Parkinson, William Parkin-

italy along the same line. This was to
the effect that there had been general

merous occasions, frequently continu-
ing until the early morning hours, and
causing them great annoyance, and in
terrupting their sleep.
The case probably will consume the

MAN SUPPOSED To
HAVE BEEN DROWNED
F. B. Miller, Who Said He Was a
Detective, is Missing.
WENT OUT IN ROWBOAT.
And Craft With Coat and Hat,is Picked
Up Near Mouth Of River---One
Oar Was Gone.

A man, giving his name as F. B. Mil
Ter and saying he was q detective from
Buffalo, N. Y. is supposed to have
been drowned yesterday in the Chesa.
peake Bay off Annapolis.
lie arrived at local hotel Saturday
without baggage. but said he expected
It to arrive in Baltimore Saturday and
that he was going to Baltimore last
night to get it.
lie hired a small boat yesterday
morning and started TO row out in the
harbor, presumably to visit the ships
of the midshipmen's practice squadron
anchored in the bay.
Several hours later the rowboat with
Miller's hat and coat, and one oar miss
ing was picked up by a launch from the
oattleship Missouri. 1t is supposed that
one oar got away from him and in
reaching for it he fell overheard.
At the hotel Miller said he had come
to Annapolis to trace two men and
woman He was about 35 years old.
well dressed and weighed 175 pounds
and was five feet eight inches tall.
Inquiries have been made of various
sources this morning but with no tid-
ings that Miller is alive. Miller. while
at the hotel Saturday night, talked
good deal with the clerks. He said his
trip to this city was made under hur-
ried assignment and that is why he did
not bring his suit case along with
him- He spent Saturday night at the
hotel.
Yesterday morning he spoke of GO
ing out for a boat ride and said he
thought he would go out to the ships.
de said he was not proficient in hand
ling boats, but was a good swimmer.
Some on urged him not to attempt to
go out to the ships unless he was
thoroughly acquainted with the hand
ling of row boat.
When news of the mysterious disp-
pearance of Miller, became known this
morning, it was reported that two
Baltimore city detectives were in the
city last week looking for a man
wanted on bogus check charge. and
who, it is said, answered the descrip-
tion of Miller. In view of this. it is
believed by some that Miller NAV have
deliberately hired the boat and gone
out into the river to commit suicide.
Some of the people who met him
about the hotel say that he did not
appear to be a crook, yet others say
that ne acted as though something
was worrying him. The boat in which
Miller left the city was towed into the
harbor late last night.
There was nothing in the coat to
indicate the identity of the owner, the
only things found being a small key
and piece of paper. Nor was there
any name or initials in the derby hat
that was found in the boat.

NAVY DEFEATS STRONG
CATHOLIC u. TEAM
Some Timely Hits Gives Them
Game by 4 to 2.
BLODGETT TwIRLS WELL.
He Pitched Air Tight Ball in Pinches
and Was Given Good Support.

The midshipmen played one Of their
most creditable games of the season
Saturday afternoon and won from the
strong team of Catholic University of
Washington, by a score Of 4 to 2. The
fielding of the middies was especially
sharp and this, coupled with the effec-
tive pitching of big Blodgett, brought
them the victory.
The middies got just shade the bet
ter of the breaks. johnson twirled a
strong game for the Catholics, but they
had one bad inning, the sixth. In that
stanza. he allowed tw men to walk,
and this, with some loose fielding be-
hind him, coupled with a single and a
two bagger, enabled the sailors to
gather trio of runs, enough to put
the game on ice. Fayette relieved
johnson in the seventh and was some
what steadier
The visitors had a golden opportu-
nifty to tie up the score and possibly
win the game in the seventh inning,
when they had the bases filled with
only one out, but the necessary hit
was not forthcoming. White, the first
man up, hit safely, but Killion struck
out. Ringroad who was substituted
for Smith, also got hit, and Rogers
followed with single, filling the
bases.
Chances looked real rosy for the
WashiDgtonians, but Ray, batting for
Cheeves famed, and McCue another
pinch hitter batting for Johnson,
was an easy out at first Getting out
of this hole, seemed to give the mid
dies greater encouragement, for the
visitors were retired in easy fashion

CITY OFFICIALS MEET
SECRETAR DANIELS
Confer As to Probable Removal
of German Ships.
SEWERAGE QUESTION ALSO.
Naval Chief interested in Proposed Dis
p0saI Plant for Annapolis
Governments Aid Sought.

That the German auxiliary cruisers
Kronprinz Wilhelm, and Prince Eitel
Friedrich. now interned at the Nor
folk Navy Yard will be brought to
Annapolis. in the event il is decided to
remove them from Norfolk, was the
practical assurance given by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels TO Mayor Strange
and committee of the Annapolis City
Council who visited the naval secre-
tary at Washington on Friday. The
Mayor was accompanied by Aldermen
John r. Sullivan and John A. Russell.
who were delegated committee under
resolution adopted by the Council
several weeks ago.
For some time the question of remov-
ing the ships from Norfolk has been
considered, the reason advanced being
that the vessels encroach too much on
the dockage space at the Norfolk Yard.
Secretary Daniels told the committee
that just now that there is no likeli-
hood of the ships being removed, for
after conference with Admiral
Beatty, commandant of the Norfolk
Yard, it was decided that the ships could
remain in their berthss for the present
at least. Mr.. Daniels added that if
they should be moved some time in the
future. 1t is more than likely they will
be brought to Annapolis.
While in Washington, Mayor Strange
also conferred with Secretary Daniels,
with reference to the proposed sewer
sge disposal plant at Annapolis. The
municipal authorities want the Gov
ernment to pay part of the expense for
the plant, which would take care of all
sewage from the government reserva-
tion as well as the city The pollu-
tion of waters of Severn river, and the
danger that turks through fish, oysters
and crabs caught in nearby waters,
was among the things pointed out TO
Secretary Daniels, who is interested
in the proposition, and promised to
give it more consideration at some fu-
ture date.
The proposed plant would cost about
$500, ,000 Provision for it's construc-
tions is embodied in an act passed by
the last Legislature which carries a
State appropriation of $4,000, au-
thorizes the city to issue bonds for a
like amount, and the plan is to have
the Federal government make an
appropriation of 100000

The Mid. Hop Well Attended.

The Mid. hop at the Naval Academy
Saturday night in Dahlgren Hall was

The attendance was large and the
sight on the dance floor viewed from
the gallery, was most attractive
The young girls wore the new styles of
full gowns and short waist bodices.
and the contrast from the former tight
fitting dresses was marked and pleas
ing.
Even the extreme style of dancing
seems to have been modified, and the
result is TO add grace and dignity to
the hops which afford SO much pleas
ure for all who attend.
