::STEVE" PARKER PRESENTED
BY THE GRAND JURY
Trusted Colored Employee And l..
Simon, Tailor, To Answer
Larceny Charge.

The grand jury of Anne Arundel
County has returned presentments
against Stephen Parker, colored, for
35 years a trusted employee of the
William H. Bells Company, naval
tailors and outftters, and also l..
Simon, a tailor employed at the same
establishment. on the charge of
larceny.
AS previously told in The Capital.
it is understood that the two men en-
tered into combination by which
they made away with a quantity OF
valuable cloth, gold lace, use on the
uniforms of naval officers, and other
materials.
Just how long Parker and Simon
had been engaged in this practice is
not know. Certain il is, however,
that the members of the firm had
missed much material from the estab-
lishment on upper Main street. 1t
seems, according to the information
that has been gathered, that steve"
purloined the goods, which were
afterwards taken TO Baltimore by
Simon and disposed of, and then fol-
low a division of the profits derived
from the sale. Members Of the Bells
Company were dumbfounded when
the theft was traced to Parker as one
of the culprits, in view of his many
years employment by the firm, and
the fact that the greatest confidence
had been reposed in him. The case
against the two men viii be brought
to trial at an early date.

Gang Of Thugs Convicted
OF Assault And Robbery

The four persons who we're placed
on trial in the Circuit Court for Anne
Arundel County yesterday on
charge Of assault and robbery, were
adjudged guilty by the jury which
brought in a verdict late in the after
noon. The Court has not yet passed
sentence. owing to the fact that two
other persons implicated in the same
affair have yet to be brought to trial.
These are Edgar Wells, who probably
will be brought to trial on Monday.
Myrtle windsor, one of the two women
in the party whose whereabouts has
not as yet been ascertained.
AS told in last nights Capital,

RED CROSS WORKERS
FOR CHRISTMAS PACKETS
Will Begin To Pack Gifts For Soldiers
On hiondav.

After the hard and fast drive OF
women in Annapolis and the Naval
Academy TO raise money for the Red
Cross Christmas Packets for sailors
and soldiers who have gone 10 fight
for this country, the actual work of
packing will begin on Monday.
One week ago the drive for Christ
man packets began here with a
parade. Along the route Mrs. T. A.
Kurtz, Mrs. Mecleary and others in
terested in the work, collected $500,
and that night over one hundred dol
lars was collected at the Carvel Hall
dance.
Nightly these and other women and
young girls have been collecting pen
nies, dimes and niekels in the Colonial
Theatre. and contributors have been
generous.
On Wednesday night benefit NOV
ing picture was given at the Republic
Treatre by Manager Miller, and a neat
sum was raised.
While the amount on hand has not
been announced, it is known a good
amount has been contributed, and on
Monday the work of packing these
Christmas packets for the men will
begin at the Red Cross headquarters.
Moose Building, as Maryland avenue.
First a large khaki handkerchief is
spread out. On top of this is placed
white handkerchief and then the
systematic building up of the little
load begins. Each packet contains a
puzzle game, a pad of paper, envel-
opes, a pipe, package of tobacco, 2
packages of chewing gum. / mirror,
pipe cleaners, 2 cakes of sweet
chocolate, small can of tea, a can
of instantaneous coffee, pocket knife,
comb, a washcloth, tooth brush,
toothpaste, cake of soap, shoestrings,
needles, thimble, cotton, a pencil and
a pretty Christmas postcard. The
khaki-colored handkerchief is then
made secure aboat this well-built lit
tie package. The whole is wrapped in
white paper and tied with ribbon and
the last wrapping of stout brown
paper is placed around it and the
package sealed.
Contributions of money and articles
for the packets are very much needed
by the department. Several persons
unable to pack the Christmas kits
have sent checks to help out with the
work Others have sent donations OF
tobacco, pipes, candy and other artl-
cles that so into the kits All such
donations are badly needed, and may
be sent to Mrs Kurtz, Carvel Hall;
Mrs. Mecleary, or through the Red
Cross Treasurer, Mr.. Charles F. Lee,
Church Circle.

NAVY AND GEORGETOWN
PRINED FOR STRUGGLE
Warm Contest expected On Farra-
gut Field This Afternoon
BOTH TEAMS HAVE SPEED
And With A Good Firm Turf Some
Spectacular Play Was Looked
For By The Fans.

Navy may or may not have met a
real tartar when it hooked up with
Georgetown on Farragut Field this
afternoon, yet Coach Gilmour Dobic
spent a righ busy week in pointing
his charges for the game that was
looked upon as the hardest OF the To-
cal season, not excluding the early
season one with West Virginia
The Middies will be able to put
their full strength in the field, and
that is saying quite a deal. for unx
like the teams of former years, they
have not sustained any serious set
backs of consequence as the result of
injuries. Therefore, they were virtu-
lily in prime condition to lock horns
yith the Washingtonians
Georgetown has been playing
trong article of football throughout
he season. 1t has fast backfield
combination, with Johnnie Gilroy and
McQuade as the stellar performers.
incidentally, the wing positions seem
TO be the weakest places IN the Navy
lineup, but that does not mean they
arc far below standard. Georgetown
not only has fast working set Of
backs, but will present a heavy and
aggressive combination of forwards,
perhaps the strongest defense that the
Middies have been up against this
season
Whatever may be said by way of
analysis of the relative merits of the
teams, close observers of football here
feel that the Sailors are two or three
touchdowns better than the Hill
toppers.

CADETS PRINED FOR
GAME WITH FARMERS
though In Crippled Condition.
They Are Confident.

Full of hghe Lineup,

~ SUI .s,''sat - s.' -, determined to win
football players of sSsne .eah Is IN {
for College Park. and this Soiisee
are playing their annual ganNuay
their old rivals of the Maryland 81 q
College.
Coach Johnny Wilson worked his
pupils hard this week in preparation
FOR the fray and much speed has been
Infused into the offense and the de-
tense also has been strengthened.
The weeks practice was marked by a
workout game with the team of the
station ship Reina Mercedes of the
Naval Academy, composed of bluejack-
cts OF the Navy, and while the work
of the Cadets was not so much of the
praise worthy order, yet they rolled
up a score of 27 points and at the
same time prevented their much heav-
Ter opponents from scoring.
For the past two weeks the Cadets
have been greatly handicapped by in
iuries to some of their best men.
They played last Saturdays game with
Gettysburg with five of the regular
men out of the lineup and yet the bat
tlefield team won by only a single
touchdown. The players who have
been on the crippled list are Semler,
quarterback; McManus, fullback; De-
vries, tackle; Metzger, end, and Mad
dox, centre. Semler and Metzger have
recovered from their hurts and both
will be in the lineup against State,
but McManus, who has been playing
wonderful defensive game will not be
able to get into the mixup at all be-
cause of a badly wrenched knee. De-
Vries, who has been working with
Captain Lentz at tackle. is still suf-
fering of bad shoulder and will not
be able to play, while Maddox has a
dislocated shoulder. which will keep
him out of ii. =
Notwithstanding all this, however,
the players and student body alike,
are imbued with much confidence that
when the smoke of tomorrow's bat
tie has lifted. they will emerge on the
long end of the score.
Discussing the prospects of the
game, Coach Wilson stated he realized
that his pupils will be pitted against
q much heavier and more experienced
bunch of players, but if they play the
game of which they are capable of,
hey should win. THE boys are pre-
pared TO put forth all that is in them
he said, "and that is all can expect;
/ know they will fight"
The lineup of st. Johns with the
weights of the Cadets, was announced
last night as follows:
Left -Metzger-140
Left tackle Batty-162
Left -Munder-20s
Centre -Recher- -159
Right guard Wilson-157
Right tackle-Lentz-160.
Right end -Turner-156
Quarterback -Semler-137.
Left halfback-Plassnig-
Right halfback-Cook-15
-Watson-160.
Team average-160 pounds.
Permission was granted for the en-
tire student body to make the journey
to College Park for the game and
they were prepare to yell themselves
hoarse in encouragement of their
