BEYOND BOUNDS
AT CAMP MEADE
Federal Government Add Ex-
pense to State
THE EXPENSE is PILING UP
Governor Harrington is Anxious That
Total Cost Of Clearing the Site
Shall Not Exceed $l5O,OOO

Governor Harrington held a confer
ence Monday with Adjutant General
Warfield and Major W w Crosby on
the work which the State is doing i'm
clearing up the site at Camp Meade
for occupancy by contingent of the
new National Army When the State
| agreed TO prepare the site General
Warfield was asked by the Board OF
Public Works TO supervise the under
taking. He accepted the task, and
assigned Major w. w Crosby To take
charge as his representative on the
site. Hence the conference with these
two officers,
The work has progressed satisfac-
torily, with the Frank Beasman Com
pany as contractors. There is no
complaint of delay There is a pros
pect however that the cost will eX-
ceed bounds laid down by the State
when the agreement was made to pre-
pare the location for the camp.
Frank H. zouck. chairman of the
State Roads Commission, visited the
scene and made an estimate of the
clearance cost His estimate was
$150000 This sum Governor Har-
rington has thought ought to be
about the limit of the States expendi-
ture, though willing TO stand for any
reasonable additional expenditure
Expense has been largely added TO
original estimates by eXactions of ar
my officers supervising the work to be
done to fit the site for their purposes
They have found tasks which have
fallen upon the State and which had
not been seen until the work was we'll
under way. In addition, the shifting
of Maryland's quota 20 the camp has
made it necessary to provide addi-
tional accommodations. II is now es-
timated that the number of men at
the camp will be in excess of $4,000.
instead of $4,000 TO 3S,000 as first
estimated
While no final understanding was
reached at the conference, Governor
Harrington requested that the ex-
penditures be kept at as low figure as
! possible
Returns from the States investment
in the site are already coming in, The
camp has attracted hundreds. if not
thousands, of strangers 10 Baltimore
and the tide has only started All Of
the hotels are crowded with men, in
cluding scores of army officers, whose
business in connection with the camp
has brought them here How the
crowds to follow when the camp is

OPEN LETTER TOVOTERS
An Appeal to Anne Arundel to Re-
jet The Organization Candi-
date Joseph H. Bells.

/ appeal to the citizens of Anne
Arundel county as a taxpayer as well
as one deeply interested in the moral
welfare of the county to reject Joseph
n. Bells as a candidate for election to
the Sherins Office i'm place of John
sullivan
We surely do net want to jump out
Of the frying pan into the fire, and to
lose all we have gained with great
sacrifice during the past several years.
In 1913 Bells was State Senator
from Anne Arundel, and when Wilson
was elected President, Bells resigned,
and was recommended by my col
league, DR.. Geo. Wells, and Frank o.
Smith, Congressman, for the Postmas-
tership To succeed Daniel r. Randall,
az Annapolis
Some ladies from Annapolis who
knew Bells interviewed the Baltimore
representatives of Woman's Suffrage.
and three of these. Mrs. Foster, Mrs.
Rainey, and Mrs Gabriel went as a
committee TO Washington and filed
a vigorous protest against such an
appointment. on the ground of un-
fitness for the office Or. Wells, how
ever, insisted upon his appointment
and endeavored to meet the charges.
The matter was finally brought TO
the attention of President Wilson.
who sent over postofiice inspector
to investigate. The result of that in
yestigation was that Bells was not
appointed!
Again l ask, do the citizens OF
Anne Arundel county want to lcse all
they have accomplished with so much
effort these past years, by electing
such man as Bells to take the place
Of such man as John Sullivan?

EASTPORT LAWN FETE
CLOSED LAST NIGHT
Great Success Attended Workers
Efforts

After some ten days, or rather
nights, the lawn fete and bazaar at
Eastport, held on the lawn of the
Eastport Methodist Episcopal Church,
for the church's and that of the Red
Cross benefit, came to an end last
night
The closing night was, like its
predecessors, a grand and glorious
success.
The feature last night, however,
was the fire ALARM" to which the
fire laddies of the Water Witch re-
sponded in the quickest possible
time.
A great bonfire was started near
the grounds of the lawn fete and the
Water Witch, with their chemical
truck made the run and put out the
fire in one minute and thirty-eight
seconds from their fire house on East
street to Eastport Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
The demonstration showed conclu
sively to all minds at Eastport that
the service is A-No-1, and the people
of Eastport are urged to respond
cheerfully when called upon to help
the firemen pay for this apparatus.
In all details the Eastport lawn
fete was a great success. The re-
ceipts are not all in, but announce
ment will be made in these columns
later of the financial result, one
fourth of which is for the Red Cross.
