BAZAR AND FETE AT
EASTPORT DRAWS CROWD
Happy Gathering on a Beautiful Moon
light Night -Firemen Hold
Sway Tonight

Crowds continued to swarm about
the lawn of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Eastport last night, where
a bazaar has been in progress for the
past several nights.
The fact that the oyster season is
now in progress, oyster suppers are
being served in the basement of the
church edifice, and the innovation has
proved an attractive feature in con-
nection with the entertainment. Not
only was the attendance last night
very gratifying, but all hands appear
ed to be liberal spenders, and it is
expected that the church will realize
a tidy sum as a result of the fete.
The fete will be continued tonight
and it will be known as firemen's
night. The fire laddies of the village
and also of Annapolis have been ask
ed tot attend A feature of the occa-
sion will be a demonstration of what
can be accomplished by the new
chemical truck of the Water Witch
Hook and Ladder Fire Company Of
this city. For this purpose big bon
fires viii be ignited.
AS has been previously stated in
The Capital, 25 per cent of the net
proceeds from the bazaar and fete
will be turned over for the benefit Of
the Red Cross.

MARITAL TROUBLES
ARE BEFORE ]. P.
Joseph W. DuvalI Guilty of Assault
and Battery
HE STRUCK WIFE IN FACE
Justice WeIch Assesses Fine Of SIG. 90
and Costs, and Defendant
Takes Appeal.

The marital troubles of Mr.. and
Mrs Joseph w. Duvall, and the al
legged maltreatment of the wife by her
husband, which it is said, has ex-
tended over "a period of several
months, were aired in Police Justice
Welch's court this morning, when
Mr. Duyall was given a hearing on a
charge of assault and battery, upon
the complaint of Mrs. Duvall
Mr.. Duvall was adjudged guilty and
assessed fine CT SO and costs. He
promptly fled notice of appeal and
Justice Welch fixed bond security in
the sum of $500 Mrs Duvall was
represented by States Attorney
Nicholas H. Green, and Winson G.
Gott was the attorney for Mr. Duvall
The domestic troubles of the cou-
pie, which the wife claims have re-
suited in cruel and humiliating treat
ment OF her, reached a climax about
two weeks ago, when, it is alleged,
that Mr. Duvall assaulted his wife by
eye to become blackened. This act,
it is understood, was committed in a
cottage near Mayo, South River,
whittier Mr.. and Mrs. Duvall had gone
to spend a portion of the summer
Mrs. Duvall, ii is said, took her young
nephew along with her, and it is un-
derstood that Mr.. Duvall objected to
the boys presence in the house. A
mass of testimony was gathered by
Justice Welch from a number CT wit
nesses on both sides, all of which
tended to show that Mr.. and Mrs.
Duvall were apparently terribly
mismated pair, though the weight OF
the evidence established the point OF
the mistreatment of Mrs. Duvall by
her husband of which she had fire.
quently complained.
Mr.. Duvall, testifying in his own
behalf. said among other things that
he, had never purposely maltreated
his wife or that he had committed
any malicious acts at all, that the
rough handling she had complained
of was done only in self-defense. He
said, among other things, that his wife
had often threatened to shoot him
with a gun. He admitted, however,
in reply to a question, that in the
eleven months since his marriage to
Mrs. Duvall, $11 was all the money he
had given her. On the other hand,
Mrs. Duvall testified to various in
stances of maltreatment, including,
among others, occasions when her
husband locked her out of the house,
and that she was forced to gain en-
trance by climbing through windows,
and that while she was doing so, her
husband. standing on the inside, re-
peatedly slapped her in the face.
Since the offense for which warrant
for Mr.. Duvalls arrest was issued,
was committed, Mrs. Duvall, who was
formerly Miss Seebohm, of Eastport,
has been staying with relatives there
A rife, which Mr. Duvall claimed that
his wife had threatened to shoot him
with. was exhibited by Dir. Duvall al
the hearing this morning.

Officials Of Cambridge Trust Company
Have Been Here Looking Over Field.

That the Cambridge Banking and
Trust Company, of Cambridge, Md,
contemplates the establishment of a
branch banking institution in Anna
polls. it was learned here today 1t
is stated that officials of the Eastern
Shore bank have made several visits
to Annapolis recently with this OBJ
ject in view, but what will be the final
outcome of the projected plans, is
not known
The officials of the Cambridge
Banking institution, it is said. have
discussed the matter with at least two
of the local banks, and the question
of possible merger with one or the
other of them was touched upon. but
it is understood that nothing in the
way Of deal has been undertaken.
The Cambridge Banking and Trust
Company already has several branch
banking institutions in other sections
of the State, and in going over differ
ent field, it is said, they look upon
Annapolis as a good place to have

FREEDOM FOR OURSELVES
AND FOR OTHERS"
The Reason Why Americans Have En-
tered This War Says DR.. McCOmss
To Capitals Correspondent

The following letter from the pen
of the Rev, Or. Joseph p McComas.
former rector of ST, Anne's Church.
and now Senior Curate of Trinity
Church, New York. will be read with
interest by many Annapolitans.
Dr. McComas is at this time SC
journing at his summer home at Blue
Ridge Summit, where for years ne al
ways has had the Capital" sent TO
him, thereby keeping in touch with
the news of Annapolis and its people
Upon the receipt of the paper for Fri
day last, he was so impressed by the
communication entitled "An Honor
able Peace" written by Mr. Scott
Lane Heffenger. of this city. that he
at once wrote to him, expressing his
appreciation and thanks for what he
termed your able defence of true
Catholic position" DR.. McComas' let
ter speaks for itself:
1877 Fulton St, New York.
Address
Written at Blue Ridge Summit, Pa
Sept. LIST, 1917.
Dear MI. hellengef.
Immediately upon reading your ex-
cellent letter. An Honorable Peace"
in The Capital for yesterday, | hasten
to write and thank you for your able
defence Of true Catholic position
with regard TO peace and the peoples
now at war with us. If our people
more fully realized the Catholic posi-
tion of the Church and the high re-
gard in which We hold all in author
ity, we should more happily arrive at
satisfactory ends. Unfortunately the
Pope has overlooked the one thing we
American people have entered the
war for: an idea of freedom TO en-
joy life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness" We want nothing else
for ourselves and demand as much for
others We know that so long as
others. with whom we are in constant
international relations have not the
same; our freedom is in peril. Hence.
we are at war for the ideal of ma
tional life; we may not accomplish
the ideal-no one ever does-but we
open and keep open the way to it..
Hence, the Sovereign Pontiff has
failed to state conditions for us when
he speaks of the status quo ante
bellum." If he will speak as a great
Churchman the First Among
Equals"-and ignore all pretensions
to temporal sovereignty. all Catholics
EAST and West) must respectfully
listen. We have been respectful
listeners when he spoke as a spiritual
sovereign, for we revere the high
office of the Bishop of Rome; but ours
will be upon the border of Veneration
when he speaks to us as one of the
Bishops and that, the one of chief
dignity, among the Bishops of Christ's
Church When he does so, he must
see the ideal we strive for; freedom
without license both in State and
Church.
Yours in our Lords service,
JOSEPH P. McCOMAS

Urge Mr.. STOCKETT TO

Msarng Fight, Largely Because
OF Health.

THAT strong efforts are being made

Indge James r. Brashears. formally
became known today.
Mr. stockett, however, Is rather
sverse 10 becoming a candidate, Civ
ing as his principal reason that inn
psired health precludes his entrance
into political contests.
Mr. stockett has not only been
unanimously indorsed for the Judge
shin bv the Republican State Central
committee for this county, but the
central Committee for Carroll coun-
rs also is urging him to enter the
fight At meeting of the Carroll
counuans held on Saturday, strong
rasolutions i'm behalf of Mr. Stockett
we're adopted, a copy of which was
mailed 10 him in this city In addi-
tion. personal letters from Theodore
Brown. an attorney OF Westmin-
ster. who is chairman of the Carroll
County Committee, and Ivan Hoff, a
well known lawyer of the same city,
were sent Mr.. Stockett urging the An
napolis attorney to become a candi-
date for Judge.
From present indications. however,
II is regarded as hardly likely that
Mr. Stockett will enter the race.

THE REPUBLIC THEATRE
Benefit For Company M Nets Over
500 Biz Success

The great success of the moving
picture show at the Republic Theatre
Saturday matinee and night is due TO
the efforts cf Mr.. Philip Miller, pro-
prietor, whose kindness and courtesy
was generously extended to Com
pany NJ of the local unit, National
Army.
The receipts from the performances
netted over 800.
Mr.. Miller gave fifty-fifty benefit,
giving half of. the receipts. The pic
ture, Back of the Man." with Doro-
thy Dalton and Charles Ray stars in
the east, and a two-reel comedy, were
excellent pictures, well chosen by
Manager Miller.
Many little details thought out by
Manager Miller added to the COM
plete success of the performances
At the opening of each show the "as-
sembly call" was sounded, and then
the "Star-Spangled Banner" was
played with all the audience standing
Special music was engaged for the
occasion and altogether the Republic
benefit was great success, and was
neat nest egg for the company fund
of Company nj.
If every merchant in Annapolis
would give $100 of his. business te
Company Ms fund as Mr.. Philip
Miller has done, the company funt
would surely be in excess of the de-
sired amount The Republic benefit
/, was most praiseworthy.

STATES ATTY. GREEN TO
MAKE POLITICAL SPEECH.
Meeting Arranged For Last Night At
Eastport Was Postponed Until
FRIDAY.

States Attorney Nicholas II. Green
cne of the Democratic candidates for
Associate Judge of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit at the forthcoming primaries,
was booked TO deliver a political
speech at hurriedly arranged meet
ing at Eastport last night, but owing
to the fact that he was detained in
getting back to the city last night,
following his attendance at hearings
in number OF cases of disorder at
Camp Meade, before Police Justice r.
o. Shipley, of the Fourth District,
during the day, the meeting had to be
called off. Instead, arrangements are
now being made to have Mr.. Green
address a meeting to be held in the
Firemen's Hall of the village on Fri
day night.
For the speech-making arranged
for last night, platform had been
erected at the intersection of First
street and Chesapeake avenue, just
across from where the bazaar of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has been
in progress for the past week. Mr..
Green. however. did not arrive until
nearly 8 O'Clock. Many of the male
citizens had, by that time, left for
their homes, and Mr.. Green, as he ad-
mitted. was pretty well tired out as
the result of his all-day attendance
upon official duties, and, therefore
decided to defer his address. Mr.
Green is popular among the voters
of Eastport, and his friends feel con-
fident that he will carry that precinct
