RENT PROFITEERING
IN ANNAPOLIS
Complaints Made BY Those Renting
And Leasing Houses OF The Ex-
tOrtlOnate Charges In Rental

Day after day complaints come to
this Office of the profiteering in rent.
Persons obliged to rent and lease
houses declare the prices like Jacks
bean stalk, go up in a night
Is there no remedy, asked service
man yesterday, who rents a house in
the Western section of the city?
years ago. when rented the place
it was $1,000, or that was the price
paid before l actually took it. Then
the rent went to $500, and not long
after to $500. The reason at first
was the war, then the advanced rent
was our going into the conflict, said
the complainant But of all things,
he continued, my rent has again ad-
vanced five dollars lately. Nobody
can stand this. 1t is simply case of
profiteering."
The same is true everywhere. To
be sure, taxes are higher than they
were, and all up-keep of the premises
is higher but not to the extent, it
would appear of advancing the rent
to 3S1s per cent, in any part of the
city.

PROMINENT YOUNG MAN
IS KILLED BY TRAIN
Leon Shepherd OF Eighth District Run
Over BY Chesapeake Beach Rail-
road Train Yesterday

Leonard Shepherd, prominent
young farmer of the Eighth district.
was instantly killed Monday after
non when the auto in which he rode,
was struck by a train of the Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad at crossing
near Marlboro. A colored farm hand
in the car with Mr.. Shepherd was also
killed Both were fearfully mangled
by the heavy excursion train, and both
died instantly. The car was totally
wrecked.
Mr.. Shepherd, who was about 30
years old, was the son of Mr.. John
Shepherd, of Bristol, with whom he
had made his home. He was unmar-
ried. The accident in which he lost
his life occurred while he was en-
route from the farm to a mill some
miles away. He had in the morning
been to Annapolis and here received
the registration books and other para
phernalia for today's registration OF
voters in the First Precinct of the
Eighth district. 1t therefore became
necessary for the supervisors to des-
ignate a substitute to take his place
in these duties.
The funeral was held this afternoon
from Mt. Zion Church.

BROKEN AT
THE T|NONIUM FAIR
Attendance On Opening Day
Proved Surprise Even To
The Management
$4,000 PRESENT YESTERDAY

Attendance records at the Timonium
Fair for the last 35 years were broken
yesterday on the opening day of the
meet of the Maryland State Fair and
Agricultural Society when approx
mately $4,000 city and county folk
crowded almost every available space
within the grandstand enclosure. Ac-
cording TO one of the officers of the
Association, the crowd simply took
everything and everybody by surprise
and for a while after the noon hour
when trainload after trainload of peo-
pie left the city for the fair grounds
there was considerable confusion at
the entrance gates Soon, however.
the S. 0. s. call was sent out for as
sistance and in a short time there was
sufficient force on hand to handle the
crowd with a minimum amount of
delay
Fortunately inside the grounds, due
to the efforts of the officers of the fair.
things were in shape for the crowd,
although no such multitude was ex-
pected until today or tomorrow.

TO TELL
OF Y. ". C. A. WORK
September % Will Be Blue Tri-
angle Sunday Throughout
Maryland
FUND DRIVE NEXT MONTH

Sunday. September %. is to be Blue
land. and every Sunday school super
intendent will be asked to tell their
congregations and schools on that
day what great work is done by the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion both in France and other war
ridden countries and in the United
States
The idea of observing Blue Tri-
angle Sunday originated with Miss
Florence E. Wilbur, who recently
went to Baltimore to organize the
state in readiness for the big drive
for war relief funds which will take
place in September and will be par
ticipated in by the Young Women's
Christian Association, the Young
Mems Christian Association, the War
Camp Community Service and the
American Library Association.
Miss Wilbur in few days will send
out letters to every minister and every
Sunday school superintendent, calling
attention to the wonderful work of the
Y. w. c. A. and asking them to make
it the subject of either sermon or
talk.
The Y. W. c. A. is maintaining a
corps of workers in Europe, and in
this country is mobilizing the women
and girls. so that the positions made
vacant when the next draft calls more
than 100000 men to the colors may
be filled phomptly and efficiently

MEAN THIEF STOLE
FROM SERVICE MAN
Private Matthews And Bride Have Ac-
cident On Boulevard And Aban.
d0ned Car Is Rifled

1t is bad enough to have an acci-
dent when riding in an automobile,
but after suffering injury to ones self
and wife, to have ones car rifled, is
adding insult to injury.
This was the experience of Private
Paul Matthews, whose automobile
skidded on the Baltimore boulevard
and injured his wife so seriously she
had to be sent to the local hospital,
and Private Matthews sustained a
strained leg and cut hand. The car
had to be abandoned on the boule-
ward, and when it was sent for it
was found to have been rified of near
ly all its parts. Everything had been
stolen except the body of the car and
the tires. Even the service flag the
Private carried on his car, together
with the United States flag, were
stolen
Private Matthews, who is stationed
at Camp Holabird, WOULD be grateful
for any information leading to the ap-
prehension of the parties rifiing his
machine on the boulevard.

SHORT LINE CAR
JUMPS THE TRACK
Passenger From Baltimore, Mrs.
Glass, Is Now At The Emergency
Hospital

The Baltimore car over the Short
Line, leaving that city at / O'Clock.
yesterday afternoon jumped the track
near West Annapolis Station shortly
before 2 o'clock.
Two cars were coupled together,
one left the track despite the effort
to put on the emergency brakes. The
car was filed with passengers, only
one of whom, however, was injured.
Mrs. Glass. of Baltimore, a pas
senger to Annapolis, was thrown vio-
lently forward by the impact and in
jurel, though not seriously. The ac-
cident to the car occurred near the
old Bay Ridge crossing, where a new
switch had been recently laid.
At the Emergency Hospital, where
Mrs. Glass was taken after the acci-
dent, it was said today that her condi-
tion is entirely satisfactory.

SCHOOL BOARD HAS
REGULAR MEETING
Further Correspondence Directed
Upon Subject Of Building
More School Houses
MORE TEACHERS RESIGN

At it's monthly meeting this morn
ing the Board of Education of Anne
Arundel County instructed Superin-
tendent George Fox to correspond
further with the National Prioritiss
Board in Washington and set before
that body in detail the needs and prob
able cost of the proposed new school
buildings now needed in the county.
This building program under a recent
rule of the Priorities Board. will be
held up for the period of the war.
A number of additional designations
were received and considered from
teachers, but fortunately, at the same
time, there were a number of appli
cations for positions in the county
schools. The resignation of Miss
Johnson from the Grammar School
was filled by the appointment of Miss
Virginia Duke. but the vacancy in the
eighth grade caused by the resigna-
tion of Miss Duyall was left in the
hands of the Superintendent.
The Board fixed the pay of teachers
in the High School at $500 per annum
with provision for fifty-dollar yearly
increase over a six-year period.
Efforts of the trustees of the Mil
lersville Academy to get the county to
take off of them the burden of run
ing this institution again came to
naught, when the Board refused the
proposition advanced of having the
county pay proportion of the cost of
educating the county children who at
tend this school. 1t was determined,
however, to refer the whole question
of the Miilersville Academy to the
State Board of Education.

of the Council of Defense today came
TO the front with a determined plan
whereby it is hoped solution of the
labor crisis in Anne Arundel may be
reached The custom of workers who
are getting better wages than they
ever did before, of laboring only from
one to three days of each week and
loafing the rest of the time. is going
to get them into trouble.
The Council of Defense after con-
sultation with many employers and
investigation of complaints of the la
Dor shirkers of the community has de-
termined that simply because a man
has job he shall not be immune from
being registered as a labor shirker
unless he actually puts the best of his
time in on that job.
Here is the important labor notice
issued today over the signature of
Senator Duvall, Judge Robert Moss.
DR., Alfred H. Perrie and Mr. James NJ
Munroe, of the Council of Defense:

the Council of Defense for Anne Arun-
del County, that some laborers are
loating at their work, and in some
cases making only two, three and
four days per week, when they should
make six, exclusive of the extra time
they may see fit to make; therefore. be
