POOR SHOWING
FOR MR.. MUDD
Annapolis Republicans Who Showed
Interest In Their Candidate And
Helped His Cause

The close vote in Annapolis yester-
day reseulted in a reduction of Mr.
Mudd's majority to Ill whereas two
years ago he received a majority of
23S and it is said that if several of
the City Republicans had not gotten
to work at the last minute, the city
would probably have been lost to Mr..
Mudd
About 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
it was seen that there was not being
much interest shown in Mr.. Mudd's
cause, and several of the Annapolis
Republicans, among whom were Dr.
James d. Feldmeyer, Charles E. Basil,
W. H. Meade, and John A. Russell, got
together and went to work for the
success of the Republican ticket with
the result as above stated.
There seems to be a great deal of
dissatisfaction among the Republi-
cans of Annapolis, and the county re-
garding the way Mr.. Mudd's campaign
was managed, and they feel that his
apparent loss of Anne Arundel County
is very largely on account of poor
work

PROWLERS CONTINUE
TO PROWL NIGHTLY
Residents Disturbed by Midnight Ma
rauders About Town. Police
On The Lookout

Who is it, and whence come they,
are questions agitating the minds OF
residents of this city whose homes are
disturbed night after night by Prov
lers about their premises.
No one fels secure and safe these
nights to go to bed, and be assured
of not having their nights slumbers
disturbed by these intruders. Scarce
Iy a neighborhood that has not felt
the annoyance of these prowlers. On
Sunday night two homes on Conduit
street. those of Mrs. Charles Wraede
and Mr.. Charles B. Abbott, were Wis
tied by the midnight providers, or it
was after midnight, and around 3
O'Clock in the morning. Lodgers at
the former home were awakened by
someone trying to break into win
dow in the adjacent alley way, and
white man wearing slouch hat was
distinctly seen while several others
were on guard, near by. They were
frightened off.
A few nights ago some person un-
known, entered the front door of DR..
Welch, on Duke of Gloucester street.
The cases have been reported to the
police authorities. An unexpected
dose of hot lead is awaiting some of
these midnight providers, for people
are sleeping with pistols under their
pillows and firearms handy, and are
justified in taking strenuous methods
of breaking UP this intrusion at their
homes
When approached on the matter, an
officer of the law said this morning.
the town is so full. of strangers. most
" young men, many of whom stay out
all hours, and some all night, that he
attributes these occurrences to the
fact that people are leaving their
doors unlocked for the dodgers, and
thereby inviting others who have no
right to enter their homes.
The present condition of affairs was
never before known in Annapolis.

TWO COMPANIES OF
ENGINEERS ARRIVE
First Troops at Naval Academy Rifle
Range For Two Months. VIII Be
Instructed In Rifle Shooting

Two companies of soldiers arrived
here this morning from Washington
Barracks for instruction in rifle shoot
ing at the Naval Academy rifle range.
They are the 73rd engineers and
number between $50 and 500 men.
They came over from Washington in
the cars of the w. B. & A. and disem-
barked at West street station, hiking
to the Naval Academy. The men are
for the most part very young, and
have good military bearing.
There have been no troops at the
Academy rifle range for about two
months. The sending of men here
was interrupted by the "fiu" epidemic
and quarantine conditions, the ban of
which has been recently lifted.
The presence of the two companies
of soldiers will mean a great deal for
the War Camp Community Service
and the Recreation rooms at the State
Armory.

CAPTAIN REEVES
AMONG ACADEMYS
GREAT ATHLETES
Great Individual Football Player
While A Midshipman, And
Returned AS Coach
TOOK BIG PART IN
REVIVAL OF ROWING
With Winston Churchill, The Au-
thor, Organized Four Dared
Crew And Rowed Race

Can't Joseph NJ. Reeves, U. S. n,
attached to the Bureau of Operations,
Eayy Department, who has taken up
ma residence in Annapolis, with his
family. was one of the best known
athletes who ever attended the Naval
Academy, and the man who more than
any other made a connecting link be-
tween the old order of things in ath-
letics. and the new Captain Reeves,
when a midshipman, between the years
1900 and 1904, was a notable football
player. and he returned TO the Acad-
emy in recent years as assistant, and
the head coach. He also was mem
her of the crew which revived rowing,
which had been dropped at the Acad-
emy, and helped to establish it on a
basis which has been maintained ever
snce.
The very remarkable individual
work of Captain Reeves in the game
Of 1903. between the elevens of the
Military and Naval Academies, was
admittedly, one of the two factors
which brought about the victory of
the Navy team, thought to be far be-
low the standard of the Army that
year In fact, there is no denial of
the fact that in carrying the ball. the
Army had the better team.
The other determining factor was
the punting of Worth Bagley, the
Young officer who lost his life in the
war with Spain. Bagley was Won
derful punter, and was able to keep
the Army from scoring during most of
the game by punting the ball out of
danger but it was the remarkable
work of Reeves, playing tackle, in get
ting down under those kicks and nail
ing the receiver which doubled their
effectiveness. This, ordinarily, is the
work of the ends, but Reeves quite
Outdid them. and he il was, who was
always waiting to drop the runner
who touched the ball after Bagley's
long punts.
Reeves was very easily identified
during that game by special head
gear of light colored material which
had been made to prevent fresh hurt
10 his recently injured head. This was
before headgear was in general use.
This game was played in Annapolis,
and was the last game between the
service elevens on either of the home
grounds. the authorities stopping the
contests for a time. 1t was won by
the Naval Academy, 6 to 4. They were
resumed later, at Philadelphia.
Captain Reeves connection with
football did not end when he stopped
playing. He kept in close touch with
the game after graduating from the
Naval Academy, and acted as assistant
coach of the team in 1906. and head
coach in 1907. In both of these years,
the Naval Academy won from the Mil
itary Academy. so, in that particular,
Captain Reeves is the only coach the
Naval Academy eleven has ever had
who has a record of 100 per cent.
Crew rowing of any kind in shells
had not been going on for many years,
when Captain Reeves was midship-
man, but during the summer of 1908,
when Reeves was a second classman,

OYSTERS SCARCE;
COST ADVANCES
Men Go longing And Dredging
Declare Oyster Beds
Are Rich
PACKERS HAVING A TIME

That oyster beds are rich in the
Chesapeake and its tributaries, and
have been for some time, and that
oysters are better, and the outlook is
brighter for this industry in the State,
than it has been for 10 years is the
statement made yesterday by w. H.
Killian, Conservation Commissioner
for the State of Maryland, who has
just returned from an inspection tour
of oyster beds.
Mr.. Killian further said this crafty
ing condition was due primarily to
the rigid enforcement of the Gull laws
last winter. Nature, however, when
she made 1t impossible for oysters to
be removed from the beds during the
cold snap in February and March.
with the bay and its tributaries closed
to navigation from six to seven weeks,
also helped very materially. The re-
suit has been a virtual restocking of
Maryland beds.
Labor Scarcity Drawback
The difficulties which surround the
industry, therefore, at this moment
are not due to the source of supply,
which is plentiful. They include
shortage, of labor, high cost of sup
plies and transportation problems.
Tongers and dredgers have been
hard to get. The lure of high wages
in essential industries has attracted
a majority of the men who dredged
for a livelihood. Those who have join
ed the oyster feet have insisted upon
scale of wages in no case less than
so per cent more and in some cases
the advance has been much greater.
Foodstuffs, sail cloth, rope and other
chandler supplies have kept pace
with rising costs of other commodities
and have proven the same trouble
some factor in the oyster industry as
in other lines.
Transportation Great Worry
The transportation problem, how
ever, has been the most serious which
the oyster industry has faced in Bal
timore. Oysters, of course, are rank
ed with perishable goods and in order
to have them at their destination with
the least possible delay, shipments
have been made by express. The con-
gestiop of transportation, in which,
PERHAPS, the necessity of moving sol
diers, and war materials has been the
most potent factor, was responsible
for oyster shipments, which were for
merly delivered in one day, being on
the way three to four. AS a result
the majority of shipments leaving Bal
timore spoiled before they reached
their destination.
No Relief So Far
Baltimore oyster packers and the
National Association of Oyster Pack
ers have consulted the food admins
tration, oysters being of definite value
in the food conservation program. Ex-
press officials also have been appealed
to, but up to the present time no re-
lief has been afforded
Baltimore oyster packers have SER
iously contemplated shutdown of
plants, but so far have struggled
along in the face of this almost over
whelming difficulty in the hope that
the express officials will be able to
issue some sort of priority orders
which will result in prompt delivery
of shipment and save the industry,
which ranks among the foremost of
the State, from grave injury.
