NO BOAT HERE TODAY
EMMA GILES DISABLED
100 Excursionists Aboard Vessel
Transferred to Cambridge.
Excitement Soon AIlayed.

There will probably be no boat from
Baltimore to Annapolis today, unless
the Colchester Company sends q
steamer this afternoon to take the
place of the disabled Emma Giles.
Last night excitement prevailed on
the excursion steamer Emma Giles, Of
the Colchester Company, when the
crosshead on the engine broke while
ne vessel was on its return trip from
he Little Choptank river after an all
day outing. Prompt assistance given
by the steamer Cambridge, which was
about half mile across the bay when
the mishap occurred, allsyed further
alarm.
The Emma Giles was just off An.
napolis when the report spread about
9 80 o'clock that her engine had been
put out of commission. A cry of
Fire. was given heedlessly by one
of the alarmed passengers and precipi-
tated much uneasiness The distress
signal was sent to the Cambridge,
which responded Immediately. About
100 passengers were aboard the Emma
Giles at the time. They were trans
ferred 20 the Cambridge.
The disabled steamer did not come
into Annapolis as reported. Her crew
started to repair the engine at once
and expect to take her to Baltimore
today. Capt. Frederick Kolb was in
command of the Emma Giles. He
supervised the transfer of passengers.
All of the excursionists were back
in Baltimore shorty before midnight.
1t is expected that the Company
may send the steamer Annapolis here
this afternoon but she will not leave
there before one o'clock and will not
arrive here before o':lock this after
noon.
Mr.. Luther c. Frances, local Agent
for the Colchester Company was tele-
phoned to this morning to know il the
steamer Emma Giles was in sight of
Annapolis, but the atmosphere was so
heavy it was impossible to see through
the fog and mist as far as Greenberry
Point, where the steamer put TO when
disabled
This afternoon word was received
here that the steamer Susquehanna
towed the Giles TO Baltimore, where
her damage, which was slight. was re-
paired, and she will leave at l.30 for
Annapolis and West River, on her
regular Wednesday trip.

BIG MANUFACTURERS
PROTEST ANNEXATION
Fifth District Industries Issue An
Open Statement
ASK PEOPLES PROTECTION
Say That Control By City Would Vir-
tuaIly Mean Driving Enterprises
From The State

Practically every big industry and
manufacturing plant located in the
Curtis Bay section of the Fifth dis
trict, has joined in an earnest protest
against the mooted proposition of
Baltimore city, for the annexation of
a big slice of that district to the mu-
nicipality.
In lengthy statement published as
an advertisement in the Baltimore pa
pers this morning, the reasons for
the stand they have taken are COM
pletely set forth. Concisely stated,
these reasons are:
City government, administration
and ordinances, would restrict the
life and growth of the great industrial
plants; county administration is less
restrictive and interfering and, there
fore far letter suited to the success
ful operation of big industries; trans
fers into Baltimore city would be a
serious injury and setback to the
great enterprises; annexation would
tend to injure. check and hurt the in
dustrial development of Maryland;
capital and industry would be driven
from the State.
1t is further urged that the city
wants these industries to tax them
and pay It's present debts that there is
no real or just ground for the annexa-
tion of this area of the country; and
they are appealing to the people of the
State to protect them from it. 1t is
also urged that these industries were
established within the borders pri-
marily to escape city domination.
The statement is published by c.
Wilbur Miller, chairman of the COM
mittee of Representatives of the in
dustries, is signed by the following
companies:

RESPITE FOR DRAFTED MEN
FOriy-Five Per Cent. OF Conscript Men
To Go On September 26.

Persistent rumors concerning the
second change in the date of the ar
rival OF the drafted men at Camp
Meade have been confirmed There
will be no movement of troops on Sep
tember 19, but on September 20 there
will go to camp as per cent. OF the
conscripts from Maryland Pennsylva-
MIA and District of Columbia This
will be postponement of one week
and as the camp is almost in readiness
TO care for the men now, the reason
for the change is hard to suggest Per-
haps the authorities wish to have the
camp i'm even better shape than il
would have been The first date TO be
decided upon was September 5, but
was changed in order to complete the
building of the barracks. Everything
is now being arranged for the recep-
ton of the conscripts: food has been
laid up in enormous quantities and
much OF the equipment is at hand.
Little delay will be experienced in out
fitting the men with clothing, although
the sorting Of sizes will be the hardest
job
The As per cent will affect about
5000 men These will be selected
from all sections of the state and all
will be white The men passed by the
exemption boards as fit for service
will be assembled by the various
boards throughout the state and the
men comprising the first shipment will
be picked They will be given instruc-
tions as TO their transportation and
other matters and then sent in a body
to the camp Accommodations for
the transportation of the men TO the
Maryland camp are now being made
