ANOTHER FIGHT ON
OVER ANNEXATION
Baltimore County Treasurer To
Show Why Deductions Are
Not Made AS Per New Law.

Another suit involving the consti-
tutionality of the City Annexation
Law was filed yesterday in the Cir
cult Court at Towson by John S. Nc
Graw. 4S16 Park Heights avenue, who
asks that writ of mandamus be is
sued requiring n. Bosley Merryman.
County Treasurer, to furnish Mr.. Nc
Graw with a tax bill, deducting there
from the tax from December 81, 1918,
to April 80. 1919, as was ordered in
the Annexation Law passed at the re-
cent session of the Legislature.
Judge Allan McLane signed an or
der requiring Mr.. Merryman to show
cause why the writ of mandamus
should not be issued as prayed.
Symington & Deneen appear as attor-
neys for Mr.. McGraw.
The County Commissioners for the
county have made out the levy for the
entire year, beginning May l, 1918, and
ending April so. 1919, without taking
into consideration the annexation act
and Mr.. Merryman has notified the
property owners that he is prepared to
collect taxes for the full year. The ac-
tion is the first to be taken on the law
collection of taxes for the full year. A
case is pending in equity in which the
County Treasurer tried to collect a
benefit assessment for sewers on prop
erty at Arlington. Arguments have
been heard in that case and a decision
by Judge Duncan is awaited.
In his petition, Mr.. McGraw sets
forth that the limits of Baltimore City
will be extended under the annexation
act and that his property is within the
annexed territory and on January 1,
1919, will be subject to the ordinances
of the city. He also holds that, under
the annexation act, his property will
be subject to taxation by the city after
December 81 next, and exonerated
from all liability to the county tax col
lector. He claims that, under the an
neXation act, he is required to pay
Baltimore County taxes only from
May to December 81, 1918, or two
thirds of the amount figured to be paid
on the annual basis.

Penn-Navy Track Meet.

While their fellows of the varsity
and freshman crew are competing
against Navy, Columbia and Syracuse
on the inner course of the Severn this
afternoon in the Henley Regatta
the field and track men of Pennsyl-
vania University are to try conclu-
sions with the cinder path and weight
men of the Academy. Because of the
greater drawing power of the regatta
on the Severn the indications were
that the attendance upon the field and
track meet would be rather below
normal.

13 HURT IN CRASH
ON W., B. & A. LINE.

Thirteen persons are in Washington
hospitals, three of them seriously in
jured, after a Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis electric car crashed
into a District Line car yesterday at
Brooks Station, just within the Dis
trict. The victims were Washington
ians. Many Baltimoreans on the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
car escaped unhurt.
The accident tied up electric car
traffic between Baltimore and Wash
ington for three hours, and hundreds
of local commuters were forced to
walk three miles or more to their
work
The District car, crowded to ca
pacity, had halted at the station to let
off passengers when the intercity car
crashed into it, hurting the smaller
car 20 feet from the tracks.

NAVAL ACADEMY
READY FOR RACE.
Sailors, Penn, Columbia And
Syracuse To Compete On The
Inner Course Today.
WILLIAMSON REFEREE.
President Of Baltimore Rowing
Organization Picked To Start
The Fights On Their
Contests.

The American Rowing Regatta TO be
rowed on the inner course of the Sew
ern this afternoon before record
breaking crowds for an aquatic event
at Annapolis, places the Naval Acad-
envy in the center of the crew world
for the present year, the event being
the largest of the American rowing
season.
The races will be the varsity race
between Pennsylvania, Columbia and
Navy The Freshman race will be be-
tween Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Colum-
bia and Navy.
Lee Williamson, President of the
Ariel Rowing Club, of Baltimore, has
been picked to referee both contests.
In attempting to compare the vars
ity eights, one is at a disadvantage,
since Pennsylvania seems to be so
much better than any other crews that
the strength of the crews can not be
estimated. To date, Penn has defeat
ed Navy, Columbia, Princeton and
Yale, and rowing experts admit that
her crew is one of the best in years.
Penn's only close race was with the
Navy. She had no trouble defeating
Princeton ana Columbia at the Child's
Cup Race and Yale last Saturday so
that her crew has only had one good
work out.
The Navy crew has settled down
and is rowing in wonderful style.
Today would have been Navy's sec
ond crews first real opportunity of
proving it's worth in a scheduled race,
but Penn decided not to bring a jun
ior crew to the regatta. The second
eight will have to finish the season
with only the satisfaction of having
beaten the reserve officers crew and
of having made the first eight extend
themselves to their utmost
The Plebes have one defeat and one
victory to their credit thus far. hav-
ing lost to Penn and won from Cen
trail High School Saturday. They
looked real good Saturday and the
same sort of rowing should bring them
home in front tomorrow. With re-
CARDS to the Freshman crews, Penn's
crew is an excellent one, nothing is
known about Columbia's and Syra-
cuse's Freshmen crews. I'VE expect
it will be some Navy day Saturday.
Don't miss it," says the Log today.
