MILDLY WRESTLERS GET
WALLOPED BY PENNSY
State College Is The First Aggregation
To Take Measure Of Local Lads

For the first time this season the
Navy mat-men had to bow to an OPP
ponent when Penn States grapplers
took the 'limelight on Saturday after
noon. To the credit of the Middies he
it said that they got the only two
falls tailed, and in addition they
forced their visitors to come back to
the mat for extra periods before
referee Lynch would reach a decision
in four of the seven bouts The final
score on points won upon a basis of )
for fan and for a decision was IA
10 16.
In two OF the bouts they won the
visitors were forced to extend them
selves in an extra period before the
referee could reach a conclusion.
The same thing happened in one of
the bouts the Sailors captured
TO Captain Redman, of the Sailors,
went the credit of winning the first
bout and scoring the initial fall. At
that he had to work hard before he
finally succeeded in pinning the
shoulders of Brown to the mat. The
other fall was scored by Scaffe,
Navy, against Nelan, OF the visiting
aggregation. This bout was an un-
usually fast one, going only 2 min
utes and 3 seconds. The summarizes:
119-Pound Class-Horst, Penn, won
from Day, Navy. on decision after an
extra period
129-Pound Class-Detar. Penn, won
from Wyatt on decision.

HARRINGTON AS
ACONCRFSSNAN
Boom Seems Started To Land Gov
ernOr In Washington Before
Term Is Ended.
WOULD SUCCEED PRICE
Mason Shehan's 'Iook-See" At An
napolis Has a Somewhat Strange
bareback i'avoring Chief
Executive.

Hon: Emerson Columbus Harring-
ton, now Governor OF the State, but
~later to be Democratic candidate for
Congress from the First, or Eastern
Shore, Congressional District Of
Maryland to succeed Jesse d. Price.
This is the latest political dope"
The dope follows the visit late last
week to Annapolis of w Mason She
han, State Insurance Commissioner,
Eastern Shoreman par excellence, and
close personal and political friend of
the Governor Mr., Shehan was not
slow, when he started in to size the
political conditions, in finding that
any talk of Mr.. Price again being
sent to Congress was not received
with any wild manifestations of de-
light. In this town, where Mr. Price
served as President of the State Sen
ate, it is probably easiest for the
politically wise ones to call to mind
some reasons why Mr. Prices candi-
dacy might prove disastrous to the
chance of holding Maryland's Demo
cratic representation in the lower
House of Congress at its present
proportion.
After Mr. Shehan, who himself has
some Congressional aspirations, had
canvassed the situation among the
politicians at Annapolis last week,
other Democrats began to cast their
eyes over the Eastern Shore counties
in quest of a candidate for Congress.
A conclusion was reached that Cover
nor Harrington would fit the situa-
ton. Under no circumstances would
Mr. Shehan oppose Mr.. Harrington,
who has ben his friend and bene-
factor The subject was mentioned
to Governor Harrington, who did not
fatty turn down the suggestion. 1t
was pointed out to him that, if nomi-
mated and elected to Congress this
year, he would serve as Governor un-
til March of next year and that only
nine months of his gubernatorial term
would remain, Hon. Peter J. Camp
bell, President of the Senate, succeed
ing him. AS Governor Harrington is
looking forward to term in the
United States Senate, his friends de-
clare that term in Congress would
give him preliminary training
United States Senator John Walter
Smith has not been connected with
this congressional program, or, if he
has been consulted. he has not eX-
pressed an opinion. Marylanders see
very little of Senator Smith these
days. Contrary to his usual custom,
he has not visited Annapolis since
the Legislature convened. His sue
cessor to the Senate will be elected
in 1920 Two years ago the Senator
was quoted as saying that he was
looking to the setting sun and that
younger men would have to take up
his nolitical duties.

FIRE NEAR BAY RIDGE
Burning Brush Threatens Summer Home
In Vicinity

A fire shortly before noon today
caused some excitement to residents
of the county near Bay Ridge. The
fire is said to have started from burn
ing brush on the railroad track near
the summer home of Mr. o. K. Nit
chell. The wind famed the flames
and carried them in the direction of
the old Bay Ridge property at the en-
trance of which is a summer home
owned by Mr.. S. Reese Abbott, of this
city.
An alarm was turned in to the
Water Witch Company, which imme-
diately dispatched their chemical
truck, but as the first information
came in that the fire was at Arundel
On-the-Bay, the truck and firemen
made the trip all the way to that bay
side summer colony Finding no fire
there, the firemen turned and went to
the real scene of the fire at the inter
section of the Bay Ridge and Arun-
del-on-theBay railroad crossing.
Up to o'clock the chemical truck
and firemen had not returned, but in
formation from the residence of Mr..
II. A. Keyes nearby was to the effect
that the fire was under control and
burning along the waters edge
The house owned by Mr.. Wilson, of
Lansdowne, near Baltimore, was
burned to the ground Only the two
chimneys were left standing This
cottage, named the "Carvel Cottage" /"
was formerly owned by Mrs Lee Cary,
of Washington, and was sold last
Spring to Mr.. Wilson. The Wilson
family were there to spend the day
yesterday, mortoring from Lansdowne
The cottage is the first within the Bay
Ridge property. The loss is said to be
in the naiphhnrhnnd of S2 nnn

GEORGE T. MELViN is TO

This is More Reliably Reported to be
the Intention of Governor Harrington.

Mr.. George r. Melvin will be made
Schol Commissioner for Anne Arun-
del County under appointment by
Governor Harrington. This now seems
assured Mr. Melvin viii ill the va
cancy in the local Board of Educa-
ton created by the death some
months ago of the late William S.
Crisp, of Brooklyn. Mr. Melvin held
the same Office some years ago and
was replaced by the appointment of
Mr., Benjamin Watkins.
However, it is very generally un-
derstood that the appointment of Mr..
Melvin will not be made until some
time during April. following the ad-
iournment of the present session Of
the General Assembly. The Governor
is understood to have determined to
make no appointments to the State
school boards until after the import
ant matters of legislation which now
confront him have been gotten out of
the way.

JOHN SNOWDEN'S
CASE APPEALED
Annapolis Colored Man Charged
With Rrandon Murder To Have
Another Chance
THIS ACTION APPROVED
General impression That After Appeals
Court Passed on Trial Fairness
viii Prevail

John Snowden, convicted in the Bal
timore County Circuit Court several
weeks ago, of the murder at Annapo-
lis on August Sth last of Mrs. Lottie
May Brandon and sentenced by Judge
Frank l. Duncan to hang for the
crime, will not pay the full penalty
until the Court of Appeals of Mary
land has passed upon the business of
his trial Attorney A Theodore
Brady, of Annapolis, and c. Gus Gra-
son, of Towson, who was associated
with him in defending the negro dur
ing the trial at Towson, after the State
had removed the case from the Anne
Arundel Court, filed on Saturday
afternoon motion for appeal
Judge Frank |. Duncan signed an
order allowing Snowden's counsel an
extension of 80 days in which to pre-
pare a bill of exceptions.
The appeal acts as a stay of execu-
ton of the sentence of death, which
was imposed upon Snowden
During the trial a number of ex-
ceptiOns were filed by Snowden's
counsel to the rulings of the court
relative to the admission of testimony
General satisfaction is expressed in
Annapolis over the taking of the ap-
peal. Because of the intense inter
est in the case, which revolved about
one of the most loathsome crimes that
ever blackened the record of Anne
Arundel County, and the frankly di-
vergent viewpoints as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused, it is felt
that to have the highest and most i'm
partial court in Maryland pass upon
the case will go a long way toward
allaying the feeling engendered
In such a case as that of Mrs
Brandons death there naturally
springs up prejudice one way or the
other and after the Maryland Court of
Appeals, free from the tense atmos-
phere of trial court room, has pass
ed upon the points wherein it is al
legged by his counsel that Snowden's
life was not fully protected there will
be no grounds for questioning the fl
nal action of the State

Mutton and Lamb Allowed on Tuesday S

The meatless Tuesday regulation, in
so far as it applies to mutton and
lamb, has been removed until April
Is, according to an announcement
made Saturday afternoon by the Fed
eral Food Administration for Mary
land.
Not only is the restriction on the
eating of mutton and lamb on Tues
day revoked, but the freer use of
these meats during the other days of
the week is actually urged by the
United States Food Administration in
Washington.
Edwin G. Baetjer said that the lift
ing of the ban on the consumption of
lamb and mutton was due TO the
transportation difficulties which have
interfered with the shipment of meat
from the production centres.
