TEMPERATURE AGAIN
CLIMBS ABOVE 1907
And Officials Declare There'll Be No
Relief Within Forty Hours

One hundred and two degrees at .
o'clock and indications that it would
climb to even higher mark. was the
way the mercury played pranks in
various thermometers about the city
today. The heat in some respects was
probably more oppressive than the
wave of yesterday, and as a result
those persons who were compelled TO
be about the streets simply loafed
along and observed the heat dont's as
precaution against being overcome.
Last night was another night of lit
tie restful slumber for most Annapoli-
tans and worst of all they awoke this
morning to find Old Sol shining down
sharply, and a temperature of Sc de-
grees to start the day with The mer-
curry steadily climbed as each half an
hour rolled by and it soon had reach
ed the 100 degree mark. The officials
who guage weather conditions cannot
see any relief from the torrid wave,
at least within the next forty-eight
hours. BY that time, they say the
backbone of the wave will have been
broken and period of cooler weather
will prevail Nor is there any immi-
nent indication of storm or shower
for this Afternoon that might bring
Temporary relief. While the past few
days have caused much suffering. no
further prostrations have been report
ed In New York city yesterday, 101
persons dropped dead from the heat,
Baltimore reported more deaths
and scores of prostrations.

A DANGEROUS CORNER
Where Accidents Occur Almost Daily
College Ave. and Prince George St

There are a number of dangerous
corners in town but none is more
dangerous than the corner of College
Avenue and Prince George St Here
accidents occur almost daily
Automobiles collide with each
other, the occupants making narrow
escapes Vehicles as well as auto
mobiles come in collision with the
W., b. and A. cars, and the corner
promises to be ad cath trap, sooner or
later.
Yesterday an automobile truck on
the front seat of which were seated
four small children came in collision
with an electric car of the W., b. and
A. at this corner No serious harm
was done but the screams of the chill
dren who were considerably shaken
up and frightened could be heard a
block away.
Not a day passes that some narrow
escape is made by collision at this
corner and except that there is a
special Providence for fools. drunken
men and children, this paper would
have chronicled tragedy in this To-
cailty long since.

DEMOCRATIC RING
Now in Commissions Over Making Tick
ct, Says Correspondent
Communicated


Editors of The Capital:
The Democratic County Ring is
now in commissions over the making
of the ticket every one desiring to
put up ticket as representative of
themselves and not of the people.
The principal questions that will
come before the Legislature are: 1,
war legislation; 2, annexation; 3
prohibition; a, woman's suffrage.
These are all very important ques-
tions and should be treated of with
absolute intelligence. 1t is useless
for the party to put up ticket who
could only answer Yea and Nay at
the roll call and are totally unable
to discuss the legal and business
propositions presented by these mat
ters. Hence, ticket must be nomi-
mated that will appeal to the intelli-
gence of the voters and not to their
passion and predictions and the
party to obtain full support must
nominate a first class ticket. They
do not seem to take into consideration
that at least three hundred men will
be deprived of votes on account OF
enlistments and drafts to the Army.
so per cent. of these are Democrats.
So if they have the good of the party
and the country at heart they will
discard personal ambition or personal
desires and aid in making an intelli-
gent honest and able ticket
Respectfully,
JAMES w. OWENS.

Puts His Shoulders Down.
Stecher made desperate try for
the scissors. He nailed it and then
secured a wrist lock. Slowly Peters
turned over until both his shoulders
touched the mat. The time was
81 minutes and A seconds. Both
men were cheered as they rose to
their feet.
After rest Of fifteen minutes
Stecher and Peters re-entcred the
ring and both were once more greeted
with cheers. Peters at this time was
given the greatest ovation ever ac-
corded an opponent of Stecher in
this state.
The wrestlers remained on their
feet FIVE minutes at the start Of this
tilt before Stecher pulled Peters to
the mat. He got behind while still
on his feet and pulled Peters down
by superior force alone. This time
Peters offered new defense against
the scissors. He sat down on the
mat with legs outstretched and arms
hugging his sides. This defense
puzzled Joe considerably. 1t was ap-
parently new to him.
His first attempt at the scissors
failed. So did the second. For five
minutes Peters kept Joe from wrap
ping his powerful legs around his
ribs, and for that time it looked like
Peters new system was the goods.
After the five minutes Peters broke
clear away from Stecher and got to
his feet and 1t was here he made his
charge that so startled Joe. II was
literally plungs and Joe was swept
off his feet. He fell on his back, but
he was in constant motion and there
was no fall. Peters went behind. But
Charlie could not get q hold on
Stecher and in a couple of minutes
Joe got up. This was the beginning
Of the end. Joe went after the scis-
sors and he nailed it down tight.
Once more he wrapped his firm
fingers around Peters wrist and
Charlie slowly began to turn over.
His shoulders touched and it was all
over. The time was IS minutes and
81 seconds.
