Baltimore, Oct. 11-Charles E.. Hughes special campaign train had to give way yesterday to the Maryland division of old general prOsperity's S army. Instead of coming from Ha- gerstown to this city over the Vest ern Maryland line the Republican nominee for President travelled over the Baltimore & Ohio, thereby being taken out of his way a few miles
 When the schedule for this trip was being arranged officials of the Western Maryland pleaded that they be not asked to haul the Hughes special from Hagerstown to Balti- more, because their road is doing so much freight business the handling of the Presidential candidates special train might interfere seriously with other business.
 It was set forth that the road is taxed to 100 per cent. capacity in handling the freight trains which are hauling to the Baltimore docks the products of it's territory. Other ar engagements were made by the Repub- lican managers and the Hughes special made good time over the other route, passed through the outskirts of Washington early this evening and arrived here at 7 o'clock.
 Baltimore did not give MT. Hughes very cordial reception at the rail- road station, but when he entered the Fifth Regiment Armory about half past eight o'clock the Republican nominee had an ovation. damned in- to the big structure in which Wood row Wilson was nominated for Presl- dent four years ago were between 12,- 900 and 15,000 people, who rose en- masse when MT. Hughes appeared and gave him the most enthusiastic welcome he has experienced since the campaign started, with the one ex- ception of his Saratoga meeting. MT. Hughes, who has shown the benefits of his rest last week and whose voice is in much better conditions than on his preceding trip, caught the inspira- ton of the occasion and spoke with more than usual effectiveness.
 Maryland has been Democratic in most Presidential campaigns since 1870, and the Republican nominee made his bid for the eight electoral votes of the state in two addresses. The first was made yesterday after noon at the Interstate Fair at Hagers- town, where 5000 people crowded in- to the grand stand to hear what MT. Hughes had to say about the tariff and agriculture. Last nights speech completed MT. Hughes's speaking en- gagements in the. state.
 In his speech the Republican nom- inee gave a specific answer to some of the questions as to what he will do f elected.
 Now I have been asked" he said what, if elected, I will do in Mexico. And I answer that no man on earth can tell what particular sort of mess we will be in next March But I may say this: There are certain principles we can lay down to which we propose to adhere. They are important in they are important in Latin America; they are important through out the world. If intrusted with exc 'utive responsibility I propose to ad- here/ to them.

STREAMS USED
 AMMUNITION OF
 LOCAL COMPANY
Powder Had Been Rejected Once, However, and Ac-
 cepted Later.

A part of the credit for certain vic- tories won by the reorganized Serbian ! army in the present Balkan campaign is due to ammunition Made in Bridge port, thereby vindicating the confi- dence reposed in the products of this city.
 This ammunition was made by the
 Union Metallic Cartridge Co. last sum- mer and shipped so as to reach the LSerbians early last month so that it is certain that this ammunition is what is now used by that army.
 The odd part about it is that a good proportion was made with powder taken from the large consignment con- demned last winter by the Serbians because of an alleged defect rendering it unserviceable, at least so it was as- serted when the ammunition was sent back
 This consignment consisted of sev- eral millions of cartridges made for the Serbian rifles. On account of a little carelessness in the manufacture it was found that many of these cartridges were a trifle tbo large to fit the guns as it was intended. Hence the whole lot was condemned and sent back here. r On it's arrival the shells were care fully unloaded, the powder saved and the shells turned into scrap brass, thus entailing a big loss to the company in labor to say nothing of material. But this powder was used over again and a part of it was placed in the next or der for the Serbians which is that now in use by these troops. -\
 For the last few months almost daily experiments were made with this ammunition at the U. M. c. Go. The bullets have a steel shell and it was desired to be able to shoot them into water without affecting the bullets or the steel shells encasing them. Fin ally after much experimenting this re- suit was secured and the order com-- prising several millions of cartridges was completed and shipped.

the festival there. This feast, Succoth known also as the Feast of Ingather- ing, was at the time of the gathering in of fruits. The booths therefore may be reminiscent of the booths erected by the busy harvesters as temporary dwellings in the field. The palm branches and the willows, the myrtle and citron, still borne in procession around the synagog on this feast, also suggest this ancient harvest setting.
 Succoth was the last of the three harvest festivals; and as it ushered in the, winter season when rain was needed for next years crop, a water service was held in the Temple; and to this day the prayers for the last day of Succoth include special prayers for rain, which are continued in the
 vices until the time when the spring harvest comes again with the Feast of Passover.

good early season baseball and the
card for next Sunday afternoon at

the high standard set by the semi

season.
r EELECTI0N Of William H. Pei

Commercial Baseball league was Just
a little testimonial from the semi
pros. to one of the most efficient
leaders that league has ever had.
Mr.. Pelphrey worked HARD for the
league last year and there wasn't the
slightest doubt that he would be
reelected this year if he would accept
the post. The Commercials are TO
be congratulated on getting his
acceptance.
PLANS for the suggested track and
field meet here in MAY are.
naturally, rather vague at the pres
ent time but it is to be hoped that
it will be possible to put the scheme
across. With four or five institu-
tons competing, there should be
some good sport and the attendance
should be large enough to take care
