WARM WORDS AGAIN
MARK THE MEETING
CITY Council Session Enlivened
BY Brush Between Collector
Wells And Mr.. Hart
LIE DIRECT" is PASSED

Although the members of the coun-
ell were for the most part in rather
peaceable humor, compared TO the
scrappy times which have marked
sessions, last nights meeting of the
municipal fathers was again marked
by warm words and blows were only
avoided through Alderman Smith in
terposing himself between the two
participants. These were City Col
lector and Treasurer John B. Wells
and Mr.. Walter H. Hart.
Mr.. Hart appeared before the board
to file kick against the action of
the Collector and Treasurer in in
Guiding a levy charge of $1.25 on
each of three annual tax bills for
$2.19, against a piece of property
which Mr.. Hart at the time had been
in process of purchasing, but which,
because of defective title, he had
abandoned purchasing. During his
address upon the subject he called
the action Outrageous" and several
other things, while Mr.. Wells, with
each of these references to himself
manifestly got more and more an
CRY. Finally he declared that Mr..
Hart was a contemplate scoundrel'
and as climax rose from his chair
and started toward Mr.. Hart, passing
to that gentleman the 'lie direct" as
he approached him. Alderman Smith
who was between the two, interposed
himself in front of Mr.. Wells. Mr..
WELLS made strenuous effort to
reach Mr.. Hart, but finally was in
duced to return to his seat beside
the City Clerk.
1t was then explained to Mr.. Hart
by Mayor Strange that the city code
provides the assessment of costs in
addition to the regular tax on all
tax bills which are in arrears, and
that Mr. WELLS had but carried out
this provision of the law. 1t was
furhter explained that recent ef-
fort to cut the amount of this levy
cost from $125 to 25 cents failed
because the bill after passage had
been found defective.

CITY. INCREASES THE
SALARIES OF SEVERAL
Action Taken at Last Nights COun-
ell Meeting Because OF Mounting
Costs of Living Expenses.

Constantly mounting living costs
and the necessity for corresponding
raises in salaries if employees are to
be retained, brought about several
raises in pay during last nights
meeting of the Annapolis City Coun-
Gil On motion of Alderman Smith.
City Counsellor Brady was directed
to draw an ordinance raising the pay
of the care-takers at the truckhouses
Of the Water Witch Hook and Ladder

pany to SIS per month. Amendments
were accepted to the original motion
providing that the pay of William
Farrell, fireman at the truck house
of the Independent Engine Com
pany, be raised to $50 and that of
Horace Bright, janitor of the munic-
ipal building, to $50.
Upon unanimous recommendation
of the Directors of the Annapolis

DUVALL WINS IN
MOST L|STLESS.
OF PRIMARIES
Defeats John r. Riggles In All
Counties Of Fifth District For
Congressional Nomination
NOT oNE-THIRD OF
THE VOTE POLLED
Prince George County Man Did
Not Poll One Hundred Votes
In Entire Is Precincts

In the most listless primary ever
held in Anne Arundel county, Frank
NJ Duvall yesterday Overwhelmingly
defeated John r. Riggles. of Prince
Georges county for the democratic
congressional nomination from the
Fifth Maryland District. So great was
the lack of interest in the outcome, be-
cause of the foregone conclusion that
it would be fearfully one-sided, not all
of the precincts of the county had been
heard from at o'clock this afternoon.
With three of the eighteen precincts
still to be heard from Duvall had a
total of 753 votes, as compared to 81
for Riggles. The three precincts to be
heard from are small and will prob
ably add 100 votes to the total.
The utter lack of interest in the
primary is shown by the fact that
while there we're not nine hundred
votes cast, the total registered demo-
cratic vote in the county is over three
thousand.
The only stir of interest in the days
voting was in the first ward of Annap-
oils, where through the failure of Rob-
ert L. Werntz, republican chief judge
to show up at the polling house on
time voting was tied up for quite a
while. An hour or more after the polls
opened and after substitute had been
appointed, Mr.. Werntz showed up.
The one-sidedness of the contest as
indicated in Anne Arundel. was also
notable in the other counties of the
district, Mr.. Duvall carrying every one
of them as well as the Baltimore City
wards by safe majorities.

MAD DOG AT PAROLE
RUNS AMUCK
Parole, Near Annapolis, Has Had the
Past Day or Two Mad Dog
Scare.

A large bull dog. that seems to have
been boarded out, and was taken care
of by John Jacobs, a colored man,
was allowed to run at large after six
thirty yesterday morning. In less
than three hours he bit some eight
dogs in the neighborhood
The dog was evidently mad, and
four of the dogs bitten have been
killed as a necessary precaution
Some fthe dogs bitten were pets,
and having to kill them has grieved
their owners and members of the
family.
Among the dogs bitten, by the sup
posed mad dog, was small puppy
the pet of Meade, the little son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Pick. of Parole.
This was one of the dogs killed. The
mad dog was killed shortly after
running amuck

WANTED TO CUT OUT
THE FEMALE OFFICER
Alderman Beayin's Effort Came To
Naught However, During Last
Nights Council Meeting.

Alderman Beavin of the City Coun-
ell, wants to get rid of the lady
policewoman." His effort along this
line was Overwhelmingly defeated,
however, during last nights meeting
of the City Council.
The motion OF the Alderman from
the second ward to do away with the
position, brought forth not only pro-
tests from the members but resulted
in number of most complimentary
things being said about the work of
the incumbent, Miss Isabelle Me-
Nasby. Mayor Strange pointed out
that the State Council of Defense had
asked the appointment of a woman
officer in Annapolis, while Alderman
Smith contributed some plain talk
about some of the immoral condi-
tions in Annapolis which made the
supervision of conditions by a woman
most advisable. Alderman Parkinson
took the same position. The motion
of Alderman Beavin was voted down

EFFORT
TO DIVIDE THE
WATER CO. FUNDS
Alderman Beavin Gets An Order
Through Directing The Board
Of Directors To Act
MAYOR MAKES ANOTHER
PROMISE ABOUT MONEY
Council Passes Motion To Have
Each OF The Banks Of Town
Treated Fairly BY City

Another step was taken last night
during the monthly meeting of the
City Council to get action out of the
Board of Directors of the Annapolis
Water Company looking TO placing at
least a portion of its deposits-total-
ing over $4,000 according to the
monthly statement-in the Annapolis
Bank where IL would be drawing
per cent interest.
The action, started by Alderman
Beavin, brought from Mayor Strange
this announcement: Il will state
that some of the money will be placed
in the Annapolis Bank in due time.
1t is the intention of the Board of
the Water Company to place some of
its funds in the Annapolis Bank"
At the last monthly meeting held
August 13, Mayor Strange upon the
same question had stated that there
"was no doubt the new bank would
get some of the money; the question
would have due consideration, and
the Water Board was going TO do
this when it got ready"
had several meetings, and at the last
one, held within the past week, AL
derman Russell, minority member of
that body, called attention to the
recommendation of the City Council
last night that the funds be divided
equally between the three banks of
the city and moved that this be done.
Mr. George T. Melvin, asked to be
excused from voting on the ques-
tion; Mr.. Feldmeyer and Mayor
Strange voted against it, and Alder
Russell and City Counsellor Brady
voted yea. Whereupon Mr.. Melvin,
in the chair. declared the motion lost
for want of a majority.
The motion of Alderman Beavin at
the August meeting had been passed
as a recommendation to the Water
Board. Last night his motion was
simply a direction that 1t be done.
1t brought from Mayor Strange the
first above quoted promise. 1t was
passed by a viva voce vote

n hang at present upon the question
n the so-called emergency fund.-
safely cached away in bank from
the earnings OF the municipality
owned Annapolis Water Company.
This fund. as shown by the monthly
report OF the Directors OF the Water
comuany made to the City Council
last night. amounts to $19,752 40.
After Alderman Levy had last
night explained that the firemen of
the Independent Engine Company
stand ready, from company funds, to
hear one-third of the cost of pur-
chasing the new engine, and urged
that this offer be taken advantage of.
Alderman Beavin offered an order
10 the effect that a sufficient sum be
drawn from the Emergency Fund of
the Water Company, which is a mu-
nlcipally controlled fund, TO pay two
thirds Of the purchase price of the
new engine.
City Counsellor A. T. Brady. who
was attending his first meeting since
being elected to that position, by the
votes OF the gentlemen who have
been waging the fight for a change

raised the question that the fire de-

vestigate the price of the new en-
gine before the council draws an or
der on the Emergency Fund. This
suggestion was accepted by Alderman
Beavin under an agreement by the
Mayor to call a meeting of the Fire

question.
