EMBARGO ON WHEAT
HARDSHIP TO FARMERS
Quantities Of Wheat Piled Up On
Wharves, And Baltimore Ele-
vators Taxed To Capacity
FARMERS STORING WHEAT

Yesterday Mr.. Luther F. Francis.
local Agent and Manager for the Toll
chester Steambot Company, received
instructions rom Baltimore that he
was to have no more wheat shipped
by the Annapolis steamer to that city
until the embargo on wheat is lifted.
This order came in time to release
a quantity of wheat that was TO have
gone to Baltimore today The instruc-
ton said the grain elevators in Balti-
more are taxed to and beyond their
capacity. Every wharf in Baltimore
is reported to be stored with wheat,
and no more can be taken to that city
from the West and Rhode River land
ings until such time as the wheat al
ready there can be disposed of.
On Monday twelve hundred bushels
of wheat we're taken to Baltimore on
the Emma Giles, and yesterday one
thousand bushels.
Farmers have been notified by the
Rochester Company of the embargo
on whes> and quantities that were to
have been shipped have been left on
wharves at West and Rhode River
landings, or have been taken back to
barns and stored there awaiting fu-
ture shipment

His brothers, John and Roberdeau

and Raymond rowed to Westhaven and
notified Mr.. West. Mr.. West dived foI

John BARLEYCORN ON
CAMP PAROLE ROAD
Residents OF Section Are Being
Treated To Some Wierd Sights
Nowadays, IL Is Said

Although Annapolis is dry and the
surrounding territory is dry, and there
are stringent anti-transportation rules
which ade being more or less drastic
ly enforced. the members of the col
ored population in the neighborhood
of Camp Parole seem from all ac-
counts to have unearthed a route for
the importation of fire water Ac-
cording to residents of the neighbor-
hood numbers of the negroes seem to
be getting sufficient of the frey fluid
to accumulate real jags. Discussing
the conditions, resident of the little
village said today that recently there
has been an increase in drunkenness,
particularly among the negroes. One
night recently a colored man was
found lying beside the road in such a
totally "spificated" and thoroughly
helpless condition that his friends had
TO requisition a wheelbarrow to tote
him to his home, about half mile
down the road.

HAS THREE SONS IN
THE u. S. SERVICE
DIR. And Mrs. Burwell, OF West River,
Make Great Sacrifices For
Country

DIR. and Mrs. Robert Lennon Bur-
well, of West River, this county, and
Baltimore, have given all their sons
to the country's service. They are
Lieut.. Paul Verdier Burwell, of the
Fortieth British Royal Flying Corps;
James McC. Burwell, of the United
States Medical Corps, and Robert
Standard Burwell, now at the Officers
Training School at Camp Gordon, and
formerly a member of the Fifty
eighth Coast Artillery.
These boys have a personal history
to uphold, for they are descendants OF
President Zachary Taylor, and there
was a close relationship between the
ancestors of the family and that OF
President Madison. Lieut.. Paul Bur
well and James Burwell are now in
France and service there means even
more to them than to most Americans
for their grandmother was French
woman

DOCTORS OF THE
CITY CALLED TO
WAR TIME DUTY
Physicians And Surgeons Of An
napolis May Be Scarce With
in Few Months
SOME GOING UP FOR
PHYSICAL TRYOUTS
Most OF Towns Physicians Vol
unteered For Service In Med
ical Reserve Corps

Physicians and surgeons of Annapo-
lis may very shortly begin to get so
scarce that it will be necessary for
the comparatively few left to double
UP on their work of caring for the sick
of the town while others go off to war
time duties. Several of the city's med
ical men, including DIR. Walton H.
Hopkins, County Health officer, and a
member of the staff of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital. will. it is under
stood, appear within the next week or
ten days before an army medical ex-
amining board to be passed upon
physically before being finally COM
missioned in the various grades of
the medical corps and assigned to ac-
tive war duty While all of those ac-
cepted will not be sent abroad, it is
reliably understood that at least two
have expressed a willingness and re-
ceived intimations that their duties
will see them get service in the hos
pitals of France and England. 9th
ers of the local medical fraternity
will, it is said, be given duty within
the United States at the various base
hospitals.
When this country first entered the
war, and the call for men to serve in
the U. S. Medical Reserve Corps was
issued, practically every doctor in An
napolis volunteered to render such
service to the government as he was
capable of, and at the same time
signed up" for service at such time
as these service might be needed. The
growing need for trained physicians
and surgeons has led TO the call from
the government to all the physicians
of the country with the result that An
napolitans may, within short time,
have to see their family physician"
leave for the strenuous service of a
war surgeons life.

NURSES MAY SOON
HAVE HOME OF OWN
Ministering Angels At The Emer-
gency Hospital To Be Locat-
ed In The Duvall House
TO GIVE PATIENTS ROOM

Because of the growing demands for
its care, and the need of additional
room for patients, as well as for the
comfort and greater convenience of
the nurses themselves ii is likely that
there will shortly be established in
Annapolis a home for the corps of
nurses of the Annapolis Emergency
Hospital
The present plan. details of which
have not been entirely worked out, is
to have a comfortable dwelling located
away from the hospital and to there
establish a home for the nurses. The
plan has progressed to the point
where the location has been discuss
ed and the hospital authorities and
nurses have under consideration the
Duvall house, located at the corner of
Southgate avenue and Franklin street,
Immediately across the avenue from
the handsome home of Major and Mrs.
John dep. Douw. Much of the detail
of the plan remains to be worked out
and at this time no one in authority
is prepared to make a definite state
ment, but the idea is meeting with
general favor, as it has many excellent
features to recommend it. In addition
to the fact that the opening of a sepa-
rate home for the nurses would give
them brighter, more comfortable and
more cheerful accommodations is the
practical side of the question. Such
a change would, by moving the nurses
out OF the hospital proper give more
additional room for the accommoda-
tion of patients. 1t is thought that
several private rooms and small pub
lie ward might easily be made from
the quarters now occupied by the
nurses.
1t was with the idea that such a
move will have to be made eventually
that The Capital recently started the
fund for the acquisition of the Seide-
witz property adjoining the present
hospital lot. In this connection, one
former Annapolitan has already start
ed a subscription for the creation of
a fund out of which will later be built
nurses home. The purchase of the
Seidewitz property has already Sc
cured the necessary ground for such
a building when the necessary funds
are accumulated.

MANY BOATS IN
HARBOR LAST NIGHT
Some Twenty-Five Sailing Craft Seek
Shelter In Annapolis HarbOr
Over Night

An unusual number of boats sought
shelter in the harbor last night.
There was no storm, and that was not
the reason for some twenty-five sail
ing craft anchoring in the harbor over
night. The boats are now short OF
crews because of the war conditions,
and not being manned as formerly, the
owners and captains are running no
chances of travelling at night with
out the usual complement of crews.
BY actual count there were twenty
five boats anchored in the harbor last
night, but all pulled anchor and sail
ed away this morning, most of them
leaving at daybreak. BY 8 o'clock
there was not one left to tell the tale
All were bound down the bay.

is NOT UNLIKELY
Case Was Argued Before A Full
Bench Two Weeks Ago And
Early Decision Promised

Keen interest Is now being manifest
ed ju the probable outcome of the ap-
neal i'm the efforts of Baltimore and
anne Arundel Counties to have set
aside the annexation act passed by the
last General Assembly. The case
was argued two weeks ago and the
Court OF Appeals decision is expected
10 be filed on Tuesday of next week.
when the Judges OF the Court of APP
MEALS return TO Annapolis. The APP
pellate Court sat on Friday. July IS.
and part OF the following day in spe-
rial session 10 hear argument of op-
uosing counsel, representing Balti-
more and Anne Arundel Counties and
Baltimore City. The special setting
was granted by the Court because of
the vast important public interests in
yolyed i'm an early settlement of the
controversy. Immediately after argu-
ment was concluded the Court took an
adjournment until July 30th, at which
time It is confidently expected an opin-
ION will be filed While the general
impression has been that the Court of
Appeals would content itself with the
filing Of a per curium order either
sustaining or knocking out the An
neyation Act, those most closely in
touch with the situation would not be
AZ an surprised should the Judges de-
termine to go thoroughly into the mer-
lbs Of the case and set forth in full
their reasons for whatever decision
they may hand down.
The present program is for CHIEF
Judge Boyd and his associates to ar
rive in Annapolis Monday night OF
next week. at which time a judicial
conference will be held. During this
conference it is expected that the an
nexation case will be voted upon and
the opinion ordered prepared.
Whether or not the side losing out
will accept the Courts opinion as final
or will endeavor to carry the issue to
the United States Supreme Court is
not definitely known yet, but the gem
eral impression Is that the Maryland
Courts ruling will be allowed to
stand
