TRUSTEES OF COUNTY HOME
HOLD MONTHLY MEETING
Twenty -four Inmates For September
And August For July One
Death Last Month Pair OF
Clutches Needed.

AT the regular mOnInly meeting CT
the Board of Managers of the County
Home, held yesterday, there was
a full attendance of the members
save one For the first time in two
years. Mr. Thomas S. Dove, a valu-
able members of the Board, was not
able to be present owing to sickness
in his family and the fact that the
call TO colors has deprived his office
of clerks and helpers, he was obliged.
therefore, TO absent himself
Many bids were presented for pay
ment, and with the high cost of liy-
ing, and the advanced prices of all
food and clothing, shoes, utensils OF
all sorts, the Board finds it difficult
to make ends meet and conduct the
Home within the prescribed amount
limited by law.
The keeper of the Home, William
II. Tucker, submitted his monthly re-
port, showing there were "a inmates
during September. There were also
"a in August and 20 in July, when the
new fiscal year of the Boards man
agement began.
There are three females, one white
and two colored, and there were
twenty-one males up to September 30.
when one died.
The aged white woman Mrs. Sue
Cockrell, upon examination OF two
physicians, DR.. McLane Cawood and
DR.. John Collinson, physician to the
Anne Arundel County Home. has been
declared of feeble mind, and will be
committed to Springfield Asylum.
Her removal will probably be on
Wednesday.
Mrs. Cockrell on Thursday night
set fire to her bed Recently she has
suffered a severe accident by falling
down stairs, breaking her arm and
badly brusing and cutting her head.
She should not be left alone, with
out an attendant, but this is impossi-
BILE at the County Home. She will
receive better care and supervision at
Springfield Hospital.
Conditions at the Home are as good
as conditions will permit. Most of the
inmates are old and feeble. One
man, disabled from acute rheumatism,
needs a pair of crutches If there Is
any one in Annapolis or vicinity wfo
has pair of crutches. they will do a
charitable act by sending them to this
inmate, care of The Capital office.
Some repairs are needed at the
Home The flooring in the basement,
where the white men live, is badly in
need of renewing, also the barn,
where the keepers horse and COW are
stabbed.
The County Home is beautifully To-
Gated on South River. The house is
at the original "Londontcwn," where,
in 1854, an attempt was made to have
Lord Baltimore make it the seat OF

SUGGESTS PLAN FOR
SUBMARINE WARFARE
MIR. John 7 Jefferson, Annapolis. Sub
mits Scheme For Combating
Undersea Menaces.

Mr.. John T. Jefferson, an employee
of the Naval Academy, is one among
a multitude of persons who have,
since the outbreak of the war, submit
ted suggestions looking to methods OF
combating the common enemy-Ger-
many.
Mr.. Jefferson's suggestions embody
a new scheme of carrying on war
fare against the enemy submarines,
and which, it is believed, could be
successfully employed. OF course,
the details of the plans as worked out
by Mr. Jefferson have not been made
public for the logical reason that they
may be taken up in other quarters.
Mr.. Jefferson submitted his sugges-
tions to the Navy Department several
months ago. Recently he received q
letter from the Navy Department stat
ing that his suggestions would be
given consideration in due time, and
adding that the delay in replying to
his communication was due to the
thousands of letters conveying yari-
Gus ideas which have been received
from patriotic citizens all over the
country AS to such letters, patience
is urged upon the writer's by the
officials of the Navy Department pend
ing due consideration.

DEMOCRATS ARE TO
OPEN At MARLBORO
State Campaign To Start In South

Precedent Will Be Broken In Manner

viii be visited the same night, while
on the 18th meetings will be held at
Prince Frederick, Calvert County, in
the afternoon, and at Leonardtown,
ST. Mary's County, at night.
The list of orators has not yet been

ever, that, in addition to Hugh A.
McMullen, the Democratic nominees
for State Comptroller. Robert E. Lee,
member of the State Accident Board,
viii accompany Mr. McMullen and
enthuse the audience at each of these
meetings
MIR. McMullen has spent several
days this week in Baltimore City and
has been making a quiet canvass in
behalf of himself as we'll as the other
members of the ticket. While he adj
mits that the conditions are not al
together smooth he thinks that there
IS a decided Improvement in the sit
uation and that a continued improve
ment will possibly take place from
low on.
For the first time probably in
Maryland's political history Mr. Nc
Mullen viii open his campaign with
out having been personally notified Of
his nomination by a committe ap-
pointed to advise hi moi the action of
he Democratic convention. He will
lie notified, however, but not in the
manner which has been followed out
Tor time immemorial. The commit
ice, instead of personally visiting the
rominee, win notify Mr.. McMullen by
ietter. This notification he expects
. receive at his home in Cumberland
rithin the next few days, as there
as been considerable difficulty in To-
ating Congressman Jesse Price, who.
virtue of his position as chairman
IL the State convention, should have
ppointed a committee for this pur-
rose during the State Convention.
re. however, postponed so doing, and
owing to the time elapsed those in
authority have decided that instead
of calling the committee together and
making a personal visit to Mr. Nc
Mullen. conveying the information of
his nomination, both time and ex-
pense can be saved by using the mail.
