Mr. William l. Schultz. Traffic
Manager for the w. b. & A.. was in
Annapolis today and called at The
Capital Office for the purpose Of dis
abusing the public mind of mis-
representation caused by the state.
ment recently made to this paper by
representative of the other electric
road that there is a freight embargo
on at the W. Il. 4 A.
MIR. Schultz said there is no em-
barge on freight az Annapolis. but
because the 3. & O. and Pennsylvania
Companies refuse to carry one
pound OF freight. and the w. b. d A.
has been coming to their RELIEF so far
as the freight traffic is concerned
there is freight embargo on the w
b. q A. at Washington and Baltimore,
for the reason that the Pennsylvania
and b. & o. will not ship freight to
Baltimore and Washington

transformers at the w, b. & A. power
plant were put out of commission at

Conditions as they exist today. with
the rush on at Camp Meade. which
was wholly unanticipated, have play
ed havoc with demands upon the

$500 men have to be landed al Camp

rest from Baltimore and points along

traffic. The demand for cars can
not be met Although the States have
been secured TO meet this demand.
but comparatively few cars are avail
able and these have been purchased
All delay in securing cars, engineers.
etc, etc, are due entirely to the rush
of business with the manufacturers
of these and all other things. The
same is true of electrical machinery,
the delay in which has caused the
recent shut off, of power during
various periods of the day and night.
which has hampered and held up 10

WILL NOT SEIZE
HOME FOODS
Government Issues Emphatic Denial Of
Report That 1t Is Going To CON-
mandeer The Housewives
Pantry.

There is no truth in a widely circu-
lated statement that the government
expects TO take food supplies from
any family Both the food admins
tration and the Department of Agri-
culture join in a statement to coun-
teract what seems TO be a deliberate
propaganda to the effect that the GO
ernment intends to take from every.
family all canned goods put up in ex-
cess Of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations
of the rumor, which has been widely
circulated Another statement is that
the government has been urging the
canning, drying and preserving Of
fruits and vegetables so that they will
be in a convenient form for the gov
ernment to handle and transport
when it takes them away from the
people,. Further elaboration is that
these goods are to be taken away
from the American homes and ship
ped to England.
In one instance a mortorist stopped
at farmhouse to fill the radiator of
vi HIS duiOlHODlle. III the course u
conversation he casually inquired
whether the farmers family was cam
ming all the surplus fruits and vege-
tables in order to help conserve the
food supply. He was informed that
the farmer was not doing this be
cause the government intended TO
take all the canned goods away ex-
cept small part OF it actually need
ed by the family itself
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
contemplated by the government. On
the contrary, both the Department of
Agriculture and the food administra-
ton are strongly urging housewives
to can and preserve, especially at
this time, all surplus fruits and vege-
tables in order that the households
themselves may have a cheap and
plentiful supply of food

AUTO TURNED TURTLE
NARROW ESCAPE OF OCCUPANTS
Messs. Guy Miller And Elisha Hop
kins Have Thrilling
Experience.

Guy Miller and his father-in-law,
Elisha Hopkins, the former a mail
carrier in the city post office, made
narrow escape from death Thurs
day night while riding from Anna
polls to Bay Ridge in Mr.. Miller's
automobile.
Mr.. Millers family reside with
Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Millers mother.
at "Orpington villa" at the intersee-
tion of the roads to Bay Ridge and
Arundel-on-the-Bay After the days
work at the post Office, Mr.. Miller re-
turns to his home, taking his father
in-law, Mr. Hopkins, with him in the
car
While proceeding on the Bay Ridge
road Thursday night, the car, for
some unknown reason, skidded across
the road at the culvert near the en-
trance of Mr.. Stokes residence, and
opposite the property owned by Mr..
W. II. Burns. The automobile turn
ed completely over on its side, with
both occupants in it.
Neither Mr. Miller nor Mr. Hopkins
were injured except for shock and a
few bruises, but the car was con-
siderably damaged Both occupants
were much shaken up by the over
turning of their car and have begun
| to realize what a narrow escape they
made.
After picking themselves up, and
extricating themselves from the car
wreckage. they set to right the auto
mobile, which had to be carted away
| for repairs
That both men escaped practically
uninjured is little short of a miracle
and they are being congratulated by
friends upon their lucky escape

P0TTERS' GRAVE FOR
A C0L0NEL'S WIDOW ?

ottawa has its benevolent orders
that will strenuously object to the
burial In the Potters field of an old
soldiers widow. Some society will
take upon itself the responsibility Of
financing and experimenting the find
ing of a proper resting place for a
woman whose husband valiantly
served Illinois as a colonel in the Civil
War.
The body of Mrs. Jane N. Wilson,
WHO passed away last week, today
lies in Gladfelter's morgue awaiting
someone to claim it and give it re-
spectacle interment in place beht-
ting the aged widows station in life,
and which she is entitled to in death.
Az first. IA son said he would take care
of the mothers remains, but since the
time of her death no trace OF him
has been found He is desolate and a
wandcrcr upon the face of the earth
a slave to human passions,
Mrs. Wilson was the wife of Col. J..
S. Wilson, who served under General
Thomas. Tie husband was past
commander of the Chicago G.. A. r.
commander when that honor carried
with it almost the same glories that
now go with the chieftancy of the
State Grand Army. He was an Hi
nois jurist for years HIS opinions
were and are written upon all Illinois
law books. Adversely came. The
widows pittance arrived quarterly
from Washington At her death the
pension ceased. The son--may he be
pitied for it-worships at another
shrine. There is someone in ottawa
who will see that Mrs. Wilson's last
wish is carried out. Who they are,
the next day or two will tell
