meeting held yesterday afternoon,
gave the following;
/ was very sorry that our Chapter
was unable to hold its annual meet
ing on October 10, and regretted most
deeply that our name day could not be
celebrated, but as we all understood
the serious condition our community
was laboring under at that time, we
had TO conform TO quarantine orders
During the past year the Chapter
has continued its splendid war work,
and as reports have been made from
time to time the Chapter members are
cognizant of the excellent record we

PRIVATE LANKFORD
PLACED ON TRIAL
Charged With Killing Corporal
Nelson In A Quarrel
Over Bread
ALLEGES SELF DEFENSE

Yesterday, Private JEFF Landlord, of
the 18th infantry. was placed on trial
at Camp Meade, for the murder of
Corporal Robert E Nelson, also of the
18th infantry, on the morning of Oe-
tober 20. in one of the company mess
halls a. the Cantonment, near Annap-
oils. Corporal Nelson was a selected
man from Vandling. Pa. Landlord
lived al Ridgeville, Tenn, before en-
tering the Army.
The killing was the outgrowth OF
an argument between the two men
over a crust of bread. Landlord was
on kitchen police, and he accused
Corporal Nelson of throwing a crust
of bread in the wrong refuse recep-
tacle in the company kitchen. Differ
ent receptacles are provided for the
different kinds of food waste. Nelson
denied that he had thrown the bread
in the wrong container and the argu-
ment grew quite warm.
The next morning, it is alleged,
Lankford stabbed his superior officer
in the neck with butcher knife while
he was seated at table in the mess
hall, and as he fell back Landlord is
charged with stabbing him again aver
the heart, causing his death Major
General Jesse Mel. Carter appointed a
board of officers to make an investi-
cation of the affair, and as a result OF
this the trial was begun Monday.
Many Witnesses
The trial was not completed yes.er-
day The examination of witnesses
continued until late in the afternoon.
Counsel for Lankford entered plea
of self defense. Colonel Richard c.
Croxton, commander of the SD in
fantry, is the presiden. of the court
There are many witnesses for the de-
fense as we'll as for the prosecution
After the trial is completed it is
probable that il will be some weeks
before the result is known. Lank-
ford faces a death sentence by hang
ing or shooting, and if he is found
guilty and the court sentences him to
death, the proceedings will be passed
upon by the reviewing authority here,
and then forwarded to Washington for
approval or disapproval of the Presi-
dent No soldier in the American
Army is executed for any violation OF
the law until the findings of the court
have been approved by the President

nISGESTING ALLEYS

Probably no city or town has so
many by-ways and short cuts in the
shape of alleys as Annapolis. 1t is
the desire of the Street Commissioner
and the city authorities, as well as the
Women's Civic League to keep these
alleys that are now used by everybody
in a neat, clean condition. This is not
true recently, for they are a nuisance
and disgusting and offensive TO public
decency The police authorities are
on the look out for the offenders, and
the Chief of Police said this morning
he thinks he is on the trail
