CITY MERCHANTS
Bad Check Man Tried Game
Upon Grocer, Clothier And
Haberdashery Places
DEPOSITED WORTHLESS
DRAFT IN LOCAL BANK
Goods Recovered And No Actual
Loss Results, Through Quick
ness Of Merchants

A man giving his name as j. r.
Simms, and his home as Washington,
yesterday afternoon made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to victimize several
of the Annapolis merchants on Main
street through the use of worthless
checks and was only prevented there
from by the quickness of thought of
one of his intended victims.
Coming to town he went to local
bank and there deposited a draft for
$500 drawn on a Washington bank
His explanation was that he had pur-
chased a place in Anne Arundel
County and intended transferring his
account to Annapolis While in the
bank he secured blank checks and
then proceeded down Main street.
First he went to the Robinson store on
Main street, where he purchased suit
case, offering a check for it and get
ting $4.25 in change. Then he went
to a grocer, told the same story of
purchasing a home in the county, or
dered big supply of groceries and
wanted to pay for it with check and
get some change. But the grocer was
not particularly keen about this part
of the transaction, so the man said he
would return for his groceries later.
and from the store went across the
street and ordered a suit of clothes,
which he put in the suit case and paid
for with a check As soon as he left
the store the clothier called up the
bank and asked if the check was all
right. He was told that a man by the
name of Simms had made a draft
deposit but there was nothing yet to
prove he had any money in the Wash
ington bank. The bank then called up
Washington and found the draft was
worthless. In the meantime, Mr. Rob-
inson, the only merchant who had act
ually given out change for the checks,
made hurried dash to the Short Line
station and caught Simms just as he
was boarding a car. He grabbed the
suit case and tried to hold the man,
who, however, knocked him down and
sprinted out across the Short Line
bridge toward West Annapolis. Al
though an alarm has been sent out
by the police, who were notified, it is
thought the fellow caught a car at
some way station near Annapolis and
has made a way"

Last Night

Yelling "mudrer" and police and
declaring there was someone after
him, a strange man, said to be a ma
tive OF Westminster, ran overheard
last night during the progress of the
Maryland Avenue Crurch festival on
Rochester Steamboat wharf

Mr.. Burtis's boat house and walked,
or ran deliberately into the water
The cry of man overheard" created
quite a stir among the people at the
festival on the wharf Fortunately
two sailors from the Naval Academy,
who were in boat waiting to trans
port some soldiers on leave for few
hours to the Rife Range, saw the man
make the plunge and went 10 his res
cue. He was brought ashore, and was
turned over to officer Lowman, of the
police force, who took the stranger to
the station house where he spent the
night
II is alleged the man, who has been
selling chickens at the market, with
Mr.. Shaffer. had TOO much Baltimore
booze aboard" and this was the rea-
son for his rashness.

With large government contract to
build number of submarine chasers
within 140 days, the Chance Marine
Construction Company of Eastport, ad-

TO TEST WORK LAW
AGAINST STRIKERS
Governor And Senator Duvall In
Conference This Morning Over
Action Of Laborers
MEN WANT s4oo PER DAY

An actual test of the Stacker law
upon a somewhat large scale will be
made in Annapolis on government
work on Monday. Senator Frank NJ.
Duvall and Governor Harrington to-
day conferred over the action of eigh-
teen negro laborers employed by the
Henry Miller Construction Company,
which holds large government build
ing contracts in the additions now be-
ing made to the Naval Academy, in
striking and refusing to go back to
work until they get an increase TO so
cents per hour or s40O per day.
Senator Duvall, who is the Anne
Arundel administrator of the work or
fight regulations, last week was ap-
pealed to by the Miller Company with
complaint that their men were work
ing only two or three days a week
and making enough in that time to loaf
on for the remainder of the week. The
men were warned that this would not
be permitted and yesterday afternoon
the eighteen negro laborers, most of
them from farms in the Skidmore sec
tion of Anne Arundel, near the Acad-
emy announced strike for so cents
an hour. The Governor and Senator
Duvall this morning came TO the con-
clusion that they could not compel the
men to go back to work with the Mil
Ter Company Monday if they did not
get the pay demanded, but that they
would not be allowed to remain idle,
but would be put to work on the farms
if they attempted the loafing- game.

The proceeds amounted to between
forty and fifty dollars and will be ap-
propriated to the fund for the new

FOUR MINUTE MEN
SEND A MESSAGE
TO FRENCH PEOPLE
Two Great Republics Are The
Children Of Same Spirit,
Says America
FRENCH BLOOD
AND TREASURE GIVEN
That First Great Experiment OF
Self-Government Might Be
Found

Liberty has two birthdays, one in the
New World, and one in the Old. One
is marked by the anniversary of our
Declaration of independence on July
4th, 1776 1t is the birthday of ma
tion in the New Western World dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all men
are created free and equal It's cradle
was Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia.
That nation has become a great peo-
pie which has gathered to its ideals
the self-governing nations of the two
Americas, and now fights for the
preservation of its life, that govern
ments of the people, for the people,
and by the people shall not perish from
the face of the earth
The second cradle of liberty was
amid the ruins of the Bastille in
Paris. On July IA, 1889, the people of
Paris destroyed this great medieval
prison, the emblem to them of tyranny
and oppression and autocratic govern
ment. They lighted the torch of lib
erty at its smouldering ruins, and sent
their armies forth from the first great
European republic to carry this torch
into a Europe governed by absolutism
and cursed with privilege and in
equality and injustice
These two great Republics are chill
dren of the same spirit. Their essen
tial union from the days of Lafayette
and Washington TO the days of Wilson
and Poincare, of Pershing and Foch
has been unbroken.
French blood and treasure were
great experiment of self-government.
America today sends her millions
in men and her billions in gold that
the home of Joan of Arc and the tomb
of Lafayette may remain inviolate.
France stands erect today, uncon-
quered and unconquerable. America
stands beside her. Our boys in khaki
shoulder to shoulder with the horizon
blue of Frances brave men. Our Stars
and Stripes over the trenches beside
the tri-color of France proclaim to the
military masters of Germany a union
which shall carry the cause of democ-
racy to triumph and form the basis of
greater world federation in the days
of peace.
Today we ask of France nothing but
the privilege of repaying the debt we
owe. We, too, celebrate the fall OF
the Bastille, the first stronghold of abb
solutism to go down before the rising
power of freemen We shall stand
beside her till the last stronghold OF
autocracy falls in ruins about the
Hohenzollern dynasty.
You, sister republic, are giving
everything, keeping only the imperish-
able hope, that spirit of self-sacrifice
for things greater than the lives OF
men and nations which is the crown
and glory of France through all the
ages.
Accept from America on the one
hundred and twenty-ninth anniversary
of your dedication to self-government
the tribute not of our sentiment alone
but of ourselves.
The voice of America proclaims to-
day with one accord Long live, Ions
| live-France."

GOOD SOAKING RAIN IN
SOUTH RIVER SECTION

South River and vicinity was visit
ed Thursday afternoon by good
soaking rain. All the crops that had
wilted and were drying up, and the
corn that was dropping its head for
want of rain, have begun to sit up and
take notice. and every green and
growing thing looks spry since the
rain. The storm swept over corn
fields, beating down the corn, for a
while, but 1t soon Strengthened up
again. Yesterday was taken advan-
tage of for putting tobacco plants, and
whole families along the South River
road farms were engaged in dropping
tobacco plants from early morning
until dark Even little children were
in the fields doing their bit to help the
farmer
The rain seems to have been local,
as Annapolis had but little, and East
port had none to speak of, hut there
was downpour at Bay Ridge, Arun-
del-on-the-Bay, and all through the
South River section
