CHAUFFEUR ADMITS
 HE WAS SPEEDING
But H. C. Lee, Fined $1O, Denies
 Driving ReCkleSSly

Herbert c. Lee, chauffeur for w. L. Hatch, and Elmer West, chauf- feur for Mrs. Charles H. Parsons, were arraigned before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morn ing on charges of reckless driving in Stanley Quarter Wednesday noon. Lee pleaded guilty to speeding, but denied that he was reckless. West entered a plea of not guilty. The two cars sideswiped each other at the corner of Stanley and Allen streets. MT. Eatch's car ramming a telegraph pole, snapping it off short and caus- ing it to fall across another automo- bile owned by Mrs. Elsie Levy.
 Solomon Weisberg was the first witness and was able to throw but little light on the cause of the acci- dent. William Fehr, chauffeur for George M. Landers, testified to what he knew of the collision and to a question from MT. Hatch said he thought the accident was an un- avoidable one because of the oily road which made the wheels of MT. Hatch's car skid. MT. Hatch said he was sitting in the tonneau of his ma chine at the time of the accident and did not think the speed was exces- sive. He said he did not think his car was going as fast as thirty miles ar hour as he told the police wher questioned at the scene. He said tha1 at the brow of Stanley street hill several hundred feet from the acc1- dent, his chauffeur had told hin ' that the machine was hitting a thirty mile clip, but he had slowed dowr before the crash. MT. Hatch placed the blame for the accident on the slip pery condition of the road and the fact that Mrs. Parsons car made g wide sweep In turning from Aller into Stanley street. He said he did not think either chauffeur was directly tc blame, although they did not use the best Judgment possible. He said thai his chauffeur is a perfectly capable man, but due to the fact that he has not been here long he Is unfamiliar with the roads and did not realize that Allen street was an intersectine main highway.

1n the automobile driven bv wes+ declared that her machine came un Allen street hill and turned into Stan icy street at a speed not greater than tWelVe miles an hour. She said that she saw Mr. Hatch's car fully 200 feet up Stanley street and that her car was fully two lengths ahead of MT. Hatch's machine when 1t rounded the corner. She said Lee failed to blow any warning signal and did not appear to see them when he drove along at speed she thought to have been thirtyfive miles an hour. MT. Hatch's car struck her machine at the rear mud guard, she said. Fol- lowing the accident, Mrs. Parsons sald, Lee came to her and said that he did not see her car. She told him him that he was going very fast and he admitted it, she said.
 Lee told the court he topped the Stanley street hill at thirty miles an hour but slackened down to about twenty-five before crossing Allen street. He said he was on the right side of the road and saw no occasion to sound his horn. He also argued that as the machines locked wheels at the same point he could not figure out how West maintained that he was only going about twelve miles an hour.
 West, said he ascended the hill at twelve miles an hour and saw Mr. Hatch's car coming down Stanley street fully 150 or 200 feet to his right. As he had plenty of time and room to round the corner ahead of them he did not stop or blow his horn He said he rounded the corner of the street at the point of intersection and turned into Stanley street on the right side when he was struck. He ex- pressed the opinion that If Lee had teen driving a little slower he would have been able to pass him on the left. Officer Fred Wagner testified that following the accident MT. Hatch
 nad told him he was going about
 thirty miles an hour.
 m pronouncing judgment, Judge 1 MeShlll reminded Lee that the law re- 1 qulres nlotor1st to pass intersecting 1 streets at ten miles an hour and it was lmposslple to overlook the admitted

A DIFFERENT STORY THIS TIME.
The W., B. 4 A. Base Ball Team Turns
Tables and Defeats The u. y.
Hospital Stewards.

The United States Hospital Stewards
who beat the W. b. & A. last week by
a score of to l. were beaten yesterday
by the railroad men on their grounds
at Naval Academy Junction.
The Hospital Stewards put up very
good gamse but were up against the
mastery pitching of Cantwell, who
struck out IL men. Another feature of
the game was the timely three-base hit
of Townsend's, when the bases were
full. There was a large crowd from
Annapolis requiring a special train
back after the game.
These Saturday and Sunday games
are becoming very popular among the
baseball enthusiasts of Annapolis and
a good game can be seen every Satur-
day and Sunday at the Naval Academy
Junction grounds. There IS no admis-
sion charged to see these games and
the crowds are becoming so large that
the railroad company intends enlarg-
ing their grandstand.

NO FLOWERS FOR GRADS.
No Presents to be Received Com.
mencement Night at Theatre

There are to be no flowers sent to
the graduates of the Annapolis High
School at the Colonial Theatre on
commencement night and no presents
will be received there.
Persons who wish to honor the
eighteen sweet girl graduates with
flowers, and the four noble lads who
will finish the High School course with
presents must send these to the re-
spective homes of the Glass of 1916,
and not to the Colonial Theatre, where
the commencement is to be held.
1t is deemed neither wise nor expe-
dient by the faculty to have flowers
and presents sent for the commence
ment. Besides, the difficulty in hand
ling same, there is trouble in get
ting things mixed, and in finding right
owners. it often causes heartaches-
some graduates being highly favored,
while others are less fortunate.
The practice of sending flowers and
presents was done away with last year
and will not be observed hereafter

old CLORY'S BIRTHDAY
WEDNESDAY FLAG DAY
The American Flag is One Hundred
and Thirty-Nine Years Old.
NOTHING LIKE THIS FLAG DAY.
Over 80, 900, 900 Americans to Parade
in Washington The Nations
Capital.

There never was such an anniver-
sary as Wednesday next which is the
day OF the American flag, the one hun
dred and thirty-ninth anniversary of
its adoption as the national emblem
of liberty.
No other flag anniversary has been
exactly like this one will be- Nothing
like the things that are now happening
IN the world have happened before.
Flag Day and the days leading up to it
have never before been celebrated by
great parades that leave few more peo-
pie on the streets to watch them than
there are in the parades themselves.
On no other Flag Day anniversary
has President of the United States
shown his adherence to a principle of
national government by joining, as
citizen in a demonstration. No Flag
Day in history has had less of careless.
mater-of-fact sentiment about it and
more or as much of solemn feeling of
individual responsibility in the minds
of over 90,000000 Americans.
So next Wednesday will be unique
day in the nations history. The Pres
ident of the United States will march
in the parade for national preparedness
at the Capital. Behind him will march
probably more than 100000 men, every
one of them carrying the flag. The
United States Senate has declared that
no business shall be transacted in the
city of Washington on that day except
the business of patriotism that it shall
be legal holiday.
The rest of the nation, at least that
part of it anywhere near Washington,
has refused to allow Washington. as a
city, to monopolize the glory of such
an occasion. Men from Baltimore, An
napolis, Philadelphia, Richmond and
otsher cities are seizing the opportu-
nifty to march for preparedness with
the Chief Executive.
Baltimore carrying the biggest flag
in the whole nation,will try for a share
of the glory. The flag will stretch
nearly from curb to curb of Pensynl-
vania avenue. Maryland's Secretary
of State, Thomas w. Simmons, will
lead the Maryland section. Governor
Harrington would be leading it, but
Tor preparedness in the shape of the
st. Louis Democratic Convention. to
which he will start tomorrow, had the
first call on the Governor.
The Governor will have done his
share for preparedness when the ma
ion's foremost preparedness advocate
is selected by the Democrats for its
Presidential nominee.
