double the number of any previous

formally ushered in this morning with
the return of the several hundred
members of the two upper classes
from their summer vacation of one

however, will not be placed i'm full

term begins a week ahead of the
usual time. October /. but war condi-
tions have upset everything an along
the line, including a change in the
course of training. and the graduation
of two classes within the last year
All of the upper classmen were due
to return from leave by 10 o'clock this
morning and from all reports there
were no undulv tardy ones. The next
few days will be spent in assigning
the Middies to their dormitories. and
perfecting other minor details pre-
paratory to starting the wheels of ma
chinery in full working order Be
cause of the large increase in the
number Of embryo officers this term,

regular dormitory building, does nc
provide sufficient living quarters
Therefore. the Marine Barracks build

tachment of nearly the whole garrison

been converted into dormitory for
the middies and more than 200 mem
bers of the new class are now quar-
tered there. This number may he in
creased later on. The new class has
more than 700 members nearly double
the roll of last year, and the complete
roster of the regiment will be close
to 1,450 incidentally. the regiment
has been augmented, in that IL now
consists of four battalions, each with
complement of four companies as
heretofore. The academy also will
begin the term with a record-break-
ing number of civilian instructors but
fewer commissioned officers than in
former years owing 10 the fact that
every line officer who possibly could
be spared has been assigned TO sea
duty during the war.

terms and provisions of the bill were
discussed and decided upon. Mr.. Mel
vim showed that this amounted TO con-
fscation OF property and expatrla-
tioa of the inhabitants of the county,
and pleaded with the convention not
to be a party to this, claiming that it
was repugnant to the natural sense of
fair play, as well as to the first princi-
pies of Democratic government, ana
also to the Constitution of the State
MIR. Melvin further argued that If
Baltimore City made out a case which
showed the actual need of Anne Arun-
deps possessions for the welfare of
the State, and If our people were con-
suited. we would be glad to sit in con-
ference and sgive the matter earnest
consideration as loyal Marylanders
but that if Baltimore City had no
other or better apparent reason than
that presented to the convention
which was simply that she coyets
these possessions and proposes to take
them from us whether we are will
or not-that then Anne Arundel would
be found fighting to the last ditch, and
that we would not be entitled to even
our on self-respect if we did other
wise
Mr.. Melvin closed by arguing that
it should not fall to a Democratic
convention to destroy this great prin-
ciple-goyernment by consent of the
governed-and pledge the party's
representatives in the Legislature to
a specific bill which the political body,
proposed should do the pledging. had

SEEKS RELEASE OF
MRS. KOWALEWSKI
Lawyer Here Seeking Release Of
Wife of Murderer
WARRANT TO FORESTALL ACT
County Authorities Are Opposed to
Plan for Release Of Any Chief
Witnesses.

To check, so far as possible an eff
fort to take important witnesses from
the immediate jurisdiction of the
court, a warrant will be sworn out
some time this afternoon charging
Frank Kowalewski with the murder OF
Abram Edelstein, according to state
ments by the authorities, The war
rant which Chief Deputy Sherim
Grafton Boone viii apply for is the re-
suit of plan launched yesterday TO
secure the release from Jail OF Mrs
Kowalewski, wife of the alleged muir
derer. Ii win be issued by Justice of
the Peace Charles o. Dulin
The informal notification of an in
tent to seek the release of Mrs. Ko-
tical announcement that the first step
OF the defense for the man. should
he be taken into custody and brought
to trial, will be to have barred from
the jury and court any of the So
called confession of the woman This
is the stand taken by Thomas f. Jar
zy, 17l6 Fleet street, Baltimore, who
was retained by Mrs. Honora Zywickl,
mother of the accused mans wife.
Jarzy. accompanied by Mrs. Zy-
wicki, came to Annapolis yesterday
afternoon and after going to the Jail,
where he talked with Mrs Kowalew-
ski and her young brother, Paul Zy-
wicki, who is also an important wit
ness for the State, the lawyer an
nounced his intention of asking the
Court for a writ of habeas corpus TO
secure the release of his client
Mr. Jarzy announced that he would
invoke the legal rule that unless she
so desires. no wife can be compelled
in a court of law TO testify against her
husband The authorities, however,
are apparently determined to prevent
the release of any of the material
witnesses by any proceeding.

Watermen Victims Of Tbefts

A few days ago this paper adver-
tised reward of fifty dollars for ap.
prehension of the thief who stole the
shedding box belonging to sMr. Walter
Clark, with some 1000 to 1900
peelers.
Today this paper is advertising a
reward of sis, offered by Mr.. Heller.
of Eastport for apprehension of the
guilty party who robbed his fish nets
off Tolley's Reef and Arundel-oD-the-
Bay, and besides stealing hundreds of
his fish, tore and destroyed fish nets
valued at $500.
The watermen are victims of thefts
and both land and water about Annap-
oils seems, at this time to be infested
with crooks.

STATE rLArroRM ADOPTED BY THE prMocRAnc PATTY

Prison Control
To amend the Primary Election
laws by abolishing the Envelope
System
To establish the Budget Sys-
TEN.
To establish the State Law
Department and abolish private
counsel to Public Boards.
To further perfect, develop and
extend the public school system
To reduce legislative expenses.
In the light of the great public
necessity we commend his Excel
lency Governor Harrington for con-
vening the General Assembly in
extra session TO consider and pass
upon the necessary war measures.
While we deplore the failure 10
pass the bill TO enable soldiers and
sailors absent on military duty to
vote, and pledge our party to the
enactment of such a bill, neverthe-
less, the work of the extra session
in passing the Council of Defense
Act. the appropriation of the mil
lion dollars for war and emergency
purposes, the militia bill, the bills
protecting the registration of vot-
ers when absent on military duty,
the conservation bills, demon
strate the patriotic and intelligent
interest of the majority of that
body and establish a record second
to none.
We believe that the people should
be spared, in so far as is reason
able, the burden of taxation for
additional internal improvements
so long as the present wartime
conditions exist; and that every
resource and energy of the State
and our people should be devoted
to increasing and preserving the
food supply, caring for those dis
abled financially or physically as a
result of the war, and to winning
the war.
The budget system proposed by
the General Assembly of 1916 and
adopted by the people in the form
of a constitutional amendment ini-
tiates a radical and, if properly
handled, a decidedly beneficial re-
form in the States financial affairs.
In order that this system may be
entirely successful and merit COM
plete confidence of the people, and
that they may acquire the fullest
knowledge of its operation, it is the
sense of this convention that the
Governor give public hearings to
applicants for appropriations and
employ such expert or other assist
ance as he may deem necessary in
the preparation of the first budget.
We approve of the efforts of the
city of Baltimore to include within
its limits contiguous territory in
Baltimore and Anne Arundel coun-
ties, including such of its suburbs
as are a part thereof, provided that
such extension shall not be made
except with the consent of the ma
iority of the qualified voters of the
territory proposed-to be annexed,
as required by the Constitution of
the State and by the principles of
self-government and home rule
always dear to free people.

81. 20 Wheat Makes Profits Certain.

BY fixing a price of $2.20 per bushel
on wheat. the government has remov-
ed the risk that the farmer takes in
growing the crop. He will not have to
worry over prices going to pieces
about the time he is ready TO market
his grain. as has been usual in the
past His farming operations be-
come more of business and less of a
gamble Fertilizers pay better than
ever. The cost, measured in bushels
of wheat. is less than formerly The
use of fertilizers will improve the
quality and make the wheat grade
better. This is important as all
wheat is now sold strictly according
to grade The use of fertilizers will
eliminate much of the light chaffy
grain Most of our land is not fertile
enough to produce wheat of good
quality without the help of fertilizer.
