KEEN INTEREST
IN BIG REGATTA
Landing Of Biggest Rowing Event
Of Year Tor Severn ROosts
Local 0arsmen
MIDOY CHANCES ARE GOOD
Qualification Expressed That The Sail
ors Cen Return Courtesies Here
tofore Extended Them BY
Visitors.

Very keen interest is being mani
tested in athletic circles over the an
nouncement that the Severn River is
to be the scene this spring of a big
intercollegiate rowing regatta.
Viewed from the standpoint of the
Middies participation in such an
event it is pointed out that the local
rowing squad is, without doubt, one
of the biggest and best in many years
There are 20 Plebes and 60 First
Classmen and Youngsters reporting
daily at the machines and tank where
Dick GlendOn. is putting them all
through the preliminary PAGES. In
addition to this, with the ice now APP
parently gone for the winter, the Ad-
mirals will soon be on the water each
afternoon with every available shell
filled with good material.
The matter of races is even more
promising. Official sanction for two
Navy crew races has already been
granted, besides a second crew and
Plebe race or two in addition. Favor
able communications have been re-
ceived from Cornell. Princeton, Penn.
Harvard and Yale. Upon the Navy's
ability to meet the date of these crews
depends the final draft of the sched-
ule.
Navy crews have been struggling
against great odds at Henley and
Childs Cup races in the past and the
class of crews that Glendon puts on
the water have not had a full oppor-
tunity to show their relative ability
due partly to the unavoidable irregu-
larity and tardiness attendant upon
their entry at these races.
The opportunity is at hand for the
promotion of a strictly informal re-
gatta. Elaborate preparations and
elaborate training will without a doubt
be barred Another phase of the mat
ter is this-In all athletics the Navy
hae been indebted to the universities
of the country whose courtesy has
prompted them to schedule events
with the Academy which were not ia
vorable TO them in all cases as others
might have been. Yet realizing the
necessity of the regulations which
bars the outside competition they have
visited and often sacrificed unbroken
schedules and records to convenience
the Midshipmen. Here is an appor-
tunity for the Navy to play host to
them all and render service to the
sport and in part fulfill an obligation
of long standing

against the city's scheme for extend
ing its limits being held in the Senate

fore the bill is brought out and the
real fight starts

leader in the debate before the com
mittec for this county Will be former
Attorney General Isaac Lobe Straus
After the arguments nave been clos
ed there will next come the real fight
on the bill. which il is now confidently
expected will be reported tomorrow or
Thursday. The fight will first be
made by Anne Arundel and Baltimore
Counties contention that a referendum
should be attached to the bill. This
will be strenuously fought by the city
people who fully realize that any
amendment to the bill would mean
that the Republicans i'm the House,
when it is sent back to them for con
currence on the Senate amendments,
would jump from under and strenu-
ously deny that this was the measure
to which their party platform pledged
them.
So far as can be learned this morn
ing the claims of the city people.
made last week, that they had gotten
sufficient votes to first p vent amend
ment and then TO finally pass the bill
to its third reading has not changed
The city forces are further claiming
that after the referendum has been
voted down. they will acquire addi-
tional votes which will put them so
safely in the majority that any effort
at dilitory tactics can be checked
However, the Anne Arundel and
Baltimore County forces have not by
any means given up the fight and do
not even yield the claims of the city.
They claim that the gross injustice of
the Greater Baltimore Bill is steadily
being impressed upon the members of
the Senate and that a majority will be
forthcoming at the proper time to
either kill or so cripple the bill as
to check most effectually the citys
hopes of annexation from this session.

ANNE ARUNDEL FARMERS
WANT MORE FOR TOMATOES
Meeting Ia Baltimore Indicates Need
For Cutting Down 0n The Acre
age To Be Planted.

Anne Arundel County farmers want
more money for their coming crop of
tomatoes than the United States Gov
ernment is ready to allow as a fair
compensation for the raising of this
particularly local kind of vegetable.
This was demonstrated at a meeting
of the Farmers and Truckers Associa-
ton of the county held in Baltimore
when a committee was appointed to
work with the packers of the State for
an increase in the price of tomatoes
by the ton. 1t was claimed that un-
less the government increased to $35
its fixed price of S21 a ton for toma-
toes the farmers will have to turn to
something more profitable on their
farms It was generally agreed that
$21 a ton would not allow a profit,
and the farmers said they could not
undertake the raising of this com
modify at such a price, even for patri-
otic reasons.
Henry c. Whiteford. of Annapolis,
the County Farm Demonstration
agent for Anne Arundel County, who
during his term of Office in that posi-
tiOn has proven veritable boon to
the farming interests of the county
through his intelligent and willing
help and cooperation on all of the
farm problems, and who had attended
the meeting in Washington at which
prices were fixed, was present at the
truckers meeting and told the farm
ers that S11O0.25 was the approximate
cost last year for growing an acre of
tomato plants in Maryland This was
the lowest of any State. New Jersey
was the highest, with about $3.50 Mr.
Whiteford said:
"Twenty-one dollars is too low.
Under present conditions, which can
not compare with the costs last year,
as many tomatoes can be raised for
$35 ton as for $50 q ton last year.
At S25 a ton the normal acreage can
not be put in. At S21 there Will not be
any glory or profit, only loss"
Charles L, Tate, a packer, of Ar
nolds, declared that before the Tri-
state Packers Association in Phil
adelphia, he recently had been given
/ to understand tomatoes were not to be
| touched.
| AT least two-thirds of the packers
/ outside of Baltimore have contracts
with farmers for tomatoes at $29 and
/! $50 a tom he said. Naturally, these
conthacts do not stand in view of the
government price"

TRUCK EATERS AND THE
PRODUCERS ARE In BAD
Government Food Conservation Bans
Such Good Things as Anne Arun-
del Strawberries and "TomatS"

Hard times are in store next sum
mer for the truck farmers of Anne
Arundel County and the hosts of
housewives in Annapolis who annual
ly await the first call for strawberries,
peaches, apples, watermelons, canta-
loupes, and the hundreds of other de
licious products of the Anne Arundel
truck farms.
The government will place a ban
on the raising of all non-essential
farm products. This applies with en-
phatic force to watermelons, canta-
loupes and to such vegetables which
are classed among the luXuries While
strawberries and other fruits can be
gathered from existing vines, and
while peaches and apples can be gath
cred from trees, the railroads, under
the distatorship of Mr.. McAdOo, will
he instructed to give these perishable
fruits, as well as perishable vege-
tables. no preference. The essentials
must be hauled first. Hence the COM
ing summer has a gloomy outlook.
A committee representing the East
ern Shore truck farmers visited Wash
ington last week and called upon the
Food Administrator and sought relief
from the forthcoming drastic order.
They received no satisfaction. They
complain. as do truck farmers in other
sections of the State, that their soil is
adapted to raising wheat, corn, oats
and other food essentials; that they
will the raising of cereals to be los
ing proposition, and hence cannot en-
bark in the industry.

dent Horse Also Drowned.
Funeral Tom GROW

The bodies of George King. 63 years
old, and his brother, John King. Sc
years old, who were drowned in the
Severn River last night al the foot of
Prince George street, were prepared
for burial by Undertaken James S.
Taylor and Sons, and up to late
hour this morning were awaiting I'm
dertaker Cox for removal to the home
of the men at Davidsonville.
Both men lost their lives last night
in a peculiar manner. They were
driving in a buggy down Prince
George street, and the horse is said to
have been going at a rapid gait
Probably not realizing that the street
ends at the waters edge, the Tolches-
ter steamboat wharf being the termi-
nal, they drove overheard into the
harbor
Their predicament was soon real
lzed and the fire department, police
and number of sailors went to the
rescue.
The body of the younger brother
who sank Immediately, was the first
to be recovered. 1t was brought to
the surface about a half hour after
the accident by oyster tongs An eff
fort was made at resuscitation but
failed, and the body was later remov-
ed to Taylor's undertaking establish
ment and prepared for burial.
The body of the elder brother was
later brought to the surface and was
removed to the Emergency Hospital
with that of his brother. Upon reach
ing the hospital both were pronounced
dead
After making a careful investiga-
ton, Justice Welch, acting coroner.
deemed an inquest unnecessary, de-
Gliding that death was due to acci-
dental drowning.
Both the King brothers were Anne
Arundel farmers, with homes near
Davidsonville. John King was un-
married, but George was married and
leaves a widow and nine children and
several grandchildren.
An accident had happened to the
King brothers at Camp Parole before
coming here. The buggy was dam
aged and had to be tied with rope,
and the Kings were thrown out and
their faces badly cut.
The shafts of the buggy were also
broke and damages were repaired by
Mr.. Brady, of near Parole, who went to
the assistance of the men and team
When the buggy was drawn up from
the river the body of John King was
sitting upright in the vehicle.
The funeral of George King will
take place tomorrow afternoon from
his late home at Doden, near David
sonville, and the funeral of John King
will take place at about the same hour
in Annapolis. Interment being in
Cedar Bluff Cemetery.
