Speculation as to MT. McAdoo's sue cessors, however, took equal rank with the discussion of the future policy to- ward railroads.
 CONSIDERING GLASS
 For Secretary of the Treasury Repre- sentative Carter Glass of Virginia, chairman of the House banking and currency committee, is known to be un- der serious consideration by several of President Wilson's closest advisers. Friends of MT. Glass say he has a reputation for being close student and constructive thinker of financial sub jects, and for executive ability in a number of private enterprises
 For director general of railroads there appears to be much more doubt man as Maj. Gen. George w Goethals is wanted, it was stated today--a man with executive ability not closely con nected heretofore with railroad man. agement, who could view problems from the public standpoint and at the same time direct the staff and organization already built up by Mir. McAdoo.
 HUGE TASK
 
 whoever he may be, will devolve the task of guiding the roads through the readjustment period. This task will apply to many phases of employment conditions, rate practices, traffic re- forms, terminal consultations, distri- button of newly purchased cars and Locomotives, policies of government | Financing of additions, betterments and |extension nurposes, continuation of lrereuting and short hauling, standard ization of operating methods, and meas ures to increase the traffic capacity of rail systems to handle the big voi- tune of freight expected by students of industrial development during the next few years

This is one reason why thes picking of new director general is desired as frought with such unusual significance. REMAINS INTERESTED Although MT. McAdoo will retire to private life. his friends say he has no thought of refraining from expressing his ideas on governmental policies from Itime to time. Particularly will he re- main interested in the railroad ques- tion and those in close touch with Mr. McAdoo would not be surprised to see him come forward in a few months with specific recommendations for the na- tion's consideration of the railroads. MT. McAdoo is said by his friends to look with disfavor on restoration of individual railroad competition, and there have been many reports that eventually he would advocate complete government ownership, to be effected by exchange of government bonds for railroad securities. Formally and of- ficially, however, Mir. McAuoo never has indicated this attitude

STREET MEETING TODAY

1t is claimed by the Just Govern
ment League of Annapolis that the
most successful street meeting held
in this city was that this morning
conducted under the auspices OF the
National Woman's Party, at the foot
of Conduit street, on Main, in front of
the drug store of T. Kent Green.
A large crowd gathered to hear the
speaking from a decorated automo-
bile Miss Gladys Greiner, of the Just
Government League of Maryland, and
State organizer, presided, and opened
the meeting, Introducing the chief
speaker, Mrs. Spencer Murray.
Mrs. Murray spoke on the National
Suffrage Amendment, and dwelt upon
the inconsistency of a woman being a
registered voter in one state and
classed with lunatics, convicts, the
hopelessly insane and criminals in
another state.
Mrs Murray quoted from the Con-
stitution of the United States, which
says THE Rights and Privileges of
Citizenk OF One State, Shall Not be De-
MED or Abridged by Those OF
Another"
During the meeting three strange
gentlemen, passing through Annapo-
lis, were attracted to the scene, one
from Washington State, one from
Kansas, and a Mr.. Bond, from Illinois,
and each spoke in favor Woman's Suf-
frage. thereby "whooping things up"
for the meeting.
This afternoon a Woman's Suffrage
tea is being held at Acton" the home
of Mrs Murray, to meet distinguished
women of the National Woman's
Party, who will speak at the tea.
There have been over one hundred ac-
ceptances.

Much Interest In Governors Probable
Action Upon A Local Case Now
Being Considered

Although Governor Harrington yes
terday considered at great length a
number of pardons or parole applica
tions referred to him by the Parole
Board, he has not yet taken up the
case of John Henry Evans, the color
ed man who is in the local Jail under
sentence of death for a criminal as
sault upon a young 1S-year-old color
ed girl. An application has been made
TO the Governor for Communication of
Evans sentence to life Imprisonment,
but the authorities here are opposing
the exercise of clemency. However,
the Governor has not yet set any date
for the hearing on the petition. In
the meantime there is keen interest in
the Governors probable action, and
a general feeling that Judge Moss took
the proper course in imposing the
maximum penalty.

ANNE ARUNDEL MAY
GET GREAT PLANT
New Shipbuilding Concern To Have
Big Site In Stony Greek Section
OF This County

Options being taken on large tracts
in the Stony Greek section of Anne
Arundel County point to the location
of the new shipbuilding plant, which
will be under the management of the
Bethlehem interests at that point
The land acquired is located on the
south side of the Baltimore harbor and
is on deep water, which would make
an admirable location. The deal is
being carefully conducted. and no in
timation of the principals involved has
been made.
As has been previously reported the
new shipbuilding plant will have at
least ten shipbuilding ways, and will
be separate and distinct from the
Sparrows Point plant of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company, just whether it
will be financed by the government is
not known, although it is said that the
United States Shipping Board is back
of the transaction, and that the man
agement will be conducted by the
Schwab interests.

A CONTRAST IN
ARRESTS OF TWO JUNES

Worthy of notice is the contrast in
the number OF arrests of two Junes
that of 1917, when Annapolis was
wet" and of 1918, when the city was
dry"
In the year 1917, during the month
of June there were twenty-four ar
rests and the fines paid amounted TO
$500 and during the month of June.
1918, there were sixteen arrests and
fines paid amounted to $4,000. Not a
single arrest or fine last month was
for drunk and disorderly conduct"
The fines imposed in several cases
last month were unusually large
fines, which brought the amount up,
several of the cases Of the sixteen be-
ing those of domestic troubles.
