Of labor.

ANNAPOLIS AGAIN
AN ICELESS TOWN
Supply Cannot Equal Demand At
Parlett Plant. Citizens Asked
To BE Patient A Few Days

Saturday evening Annapolis again
found herself to be an iceless town.
With the thermometer ranging from
9S to 100, and the humidity at the
point of saturation, it was a great
hardship not to be able to get ice.
Outside the Parlett plant on Com
promise street it looked like moving
picture show letting out, so numerous
was the crowd begging and beseeching
for ice. There were old men and
maidens, young men and children, and
every sort of vehicle, from an auto
mobile to a baby carriage, to convey
the ice, had there been any to convey,
but there was none.
The Parlett Company has not been
able to get it's new plant finished, and
has been depending, in part, on Balti-
more, which has failed the Company
and Annapolis for the second time this
summer. Baltimore cannot fill her
own demands, much less those of
Annapolis.
In another column today Mr.. Par
lett says he hopes to have his new
plant in running order in few days,
by the last of the week, any way, and
in the meantime he begs the Annapo-
lis people to be patient. Today there
was no ice to be bought at the plant,
to any great extent, and people in the
county, especially, had to go without
the chunk of frozen necessity this
hot weather.

But for the cool-headedness and

VICTIM OF NEGRO
TELLS STORY TO
THE GOVERNOR
Mary Henson With Her Mother
And States Attorney Green
Heard BY Governor
GIRL MADE FAVORABLE
IMPRESSION UPON ALL
Child's Appearance Does Not
Bear Out Stories Of Her Bad
Character And Legal Age

Called before Governor Harrington
TO tell him the story of the criminal
assault committed upon her by John
Henry Evans. colored. who is in the
county jail under sentence of death.
Mary Henson. the thirteen-year-ol
colOred victim of the crime, this morn
ing made a favorable impression upon
the Executive when she recited the de-
tails of the attack upon her.
Evans case and the efforts which
are being made to have his sentence
commuted to life Imprisonment, has
created a great deal of interest
throughout the county, but particu-
larly keen is the feeling in the Cum
berstone neighborhood, where the
crime was committed. Charges that
the girl was not under the age of
consent and that in addition her char
acter was bad, had led the Governor
to question the advisability of impos-
ing the extreme penalty for the crime.
However, the child who was brought
to Annapolis this morning, accom-
panied by her mother, Susan Henson,
made a favorable impression upon
those who saw her.
States Attorney Nicholas II. Green,
who prosecuted the case in the Circuit
Court, where Judge Moss imposed the
death penalty upon Evans, was pres
ent during the interview in the office
of the Governor this morning. While
the Governor has not announced any
decision, ii is expected that he will
now very shortly either sign Evans
death warrant or announce commuta-
ton of the sentence to life imprison-

THOSE SHINGLES
AGAIN ON FIRE
Second Mysterious Outbreak Where
New House Is Being Built On
Thompson Street

The alarm of fire last night was
caused by the smoke pouring from a
pile of shingles on Thompson street,
Murray Hill, whence a similar fire
originated a few days ago. 1t was not
the same pile of shingles, however, as
the contractor for the building of a
residence at that site, Mr. p. f. Her.
vieux. had just purchased a lot of new
shingles, and it was among these that
the mysterious fire occurred.
The building being erected is for
Prof. Allen Westcott, instructor at the
Naval Academy. Neighbors saw the
blaze and put the fire out before the
fremen and apparatus arrived on the
scene. There was some little delay
Mr. Werntz, of the Rescue Hose Com
pany, saying that the alarm came in
for Second street." instead of for
Thompson street, where the blaze act
ually was.

MARYLAND CROP OF
TOBACCO IS SHORT
Only Half The Amount Usually
Grown Is In The Ground
This Year
PRICE STEADILY RISING

On account of the shortage of labor
and the drought the present tobacco
crop of Maryland is suffering consid.
erably. AS a matter of fact there is
at the present time only about half
the amount in the ground of the aver
age year.
When the price of tobacco started
to raise there was considerable COM
ment among the consumers regard
ing the possible cause of this. If an
interested person will talk with the
farmers and commission merchants
who handle the output they will
readily see that even with the ad-
vanced price there is not so much
money in it for either of these parties
For some time past the price of to-
bacco has been steadily climbing until
it is now quoted at 90 cents per- pound
for the best grades and the lowest
price is higher than the highest price
was several years ago. If the pres
'ent conditions continue il is likely
that the price will advance. The top
market price last season was go cents
for Maryland tobacco.
When the farmers were about 70
plant this seasons crop they were
confronted by a scarcity of labor and
in many places the farmers were conf
PEELED to pay their hands as much as
s6 per day and board them in order to
get the crops in the ground.
After going to all this expense the
farmers had TO face another set back
in the way of the drought. This will
no doubt cause smaller production
and very likely an inferior grade.
