TALK IS RIFE OVER
SENATORSHIP FIGHT
Senator Duvall's Withdrawal
Causes Much Additional Spec
ulation Among Democrats
POLITICIANS CONFERRING

The withdrawal of State Senator
Frank NJ. Duyall from the fight for
the Democratic nomination pre-
cipitated further discussion
among Democrats who gathered about
the Court House today. In fact, ii has
greatly enllveael the political situa-
ton. which had quieted down t3 i
marked c1teat. since the time limit
for the withdrawal of candidates ex-
pired and viii simuiote even grealar
interest in view of the fact tnat the
primary election IS scarcely more
than a week hence
The field of candidates for the Sen
a:orial togo has. therefore, been re-
duced from five to three, those re-
naming being former Senator A.
Theodore Brady and Major Hugh H.
Riley, both Of Annapolis, and John II,
Gels, of Brooklyn.
Yesterday and today there have been
still further belated conferences of
politicians in and about the Court
House but the net result of them all
seems only TO emphasize the fact that
the primary election itself is the only
tribunal that will do the ticket-making
this fall. The candidates themselves
and apparently the saner element
|among their respective advisers seem
now to be taking this for granted and
are putting much vigor into their cam
paign direct to the voters. Inquiry
is being made by many of the latter
as to where the several candidates, es-
pecially those for the Legislature
stand on the vital questions of public
Importance that are involved in the
campaign. To answer this inquiry the
suggestion was frequently put forth
that published statements of plat
forms lie made without further delay,
so that the voters might have no
ground for misunderstanding when
they go to cast their vote on election
day. 1t is understood that several of
the candidates have already done this
through printed cards and letters sent
through the mail and are following
them up by personal visits to the vari-
Gus sections of the county.
The campaigning for the office of
Senator seems to be the most lively
right now and this afternoon and to-
night as well as all of next week, all
three of the Democratic candidates
will be kept on the move. Major Riley

TROPHY OF
WORLD WAR COMES
TO NAVAL ACADEMY
Large Painting Taken From
German Liner Kron Prinz
Wilhelm, After Internment
AT POST GRAD. SCHOOL

Another Of the war trophies of the
u. S. Navy became the property of the
Naval Academy, when, on Thursday,
a large painting taken from the for
mer North German Lloyd liner Kron
Prinz Wilhelm was hung in the hall
way OF the Post Graduate school
The painting is large one, measur-
ing five feet in width and six in height
1t is an allegorical representation Of
the supremacy of Germany on the
deep, and is based on the words of the
former Kaiser, Our future lies on the
seas"
In the execution of this large OIL
there is a magnificence Of general ap-
pearance that outweighs a certain
weakness of detail. 1t was executed
by the late Arthur H. w Fitger,
German artist of some note. whose
tive style, are numerous in German
and Dutch cities. Quite an INTEREST,"
ing history surrounds the work that
has been received at the Academy
While the Kron Prinz Wilhelm was
a liner the picture was placed promi-
nently in the smoking room. It re-
mained there after the war began. and
the liner became a commerce raider
preying on Allied shipping and sup
plying herself with provisions and
coal from the ships that she held up
As a raider the damage which the
Kron Prinz Wilhelm did cannot be de-
fnitely estimated. but it was serious
in the amount of Allied tonnage de-
stroyed.
Then the raider entered Norfolk
where she remained until she was in
termed. Upon the entrance Of the
United States into the war the ship
was re-christened the Won Steuben,
and became a u. S. transport. 1t was
then decided that the painting should
be removed from its position in what
had now become the ward room for
naval officers and sent to the Naval
Academy, where it has been for sew
eral months awaiting final action as
to it's. disposition.
1t is one of the several war trophies
that have recently been received at
the Naval Academy. A noteworthy
point in the photograph of the paint
ing, which was sent to Annapolis be-
fore the oil itself arrived. is the in
scription "Unsere Zunkuft Liegt auf
dem Wasser," the words of the for
mer Kaiser. In the middle of this in
scription a chronometer is set, and on
the dial there is plainly visible the
imprint, "U s. Navy"

TONGERS ALL SET
FOR OYSTER SEASON
OPENING ON MONDAY
Army Of Men Of This And Other
Tidewater Counties Prepared
To Visit Bars
NOT TO SOAR

The price of oysters will not g SKY
high" this fall and the marketing of
the biyalves should help to alleviate
the present high cost of living, accord
ing 10 several dealers who have dis
cussed the season, which Legins Mon
day. The price of oysters has in
creased only 20 per cent during the
past four years. they say and indica-
tions are that they will sell for less
this fall and winter than last season

ing OF the season for longing for oys-

have for days been engaged in getting
their hoats and rakes into good shape
preparatory to making the first trip
to the bars. The season bids fair to
lie a successful one in every way.
That Anne Arundel tongers are per-
haps taking a somewhat greater in
terest in connection with the opening
of the season, is indicated by the num-
Ter of licenses that have been taken
out at the office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court OF the county, as re-
quired by law. The numter issued
to date is g. as compared to 81 for
the corresponding period of last year
That only sixty-two licenses have cen
issued does not mean that a far great
er number of tongers will not he seen
on the bars on the initial day. On the
contrary the men who follow this in
dustry are given a grace period of as
long as 30 days in which to take OF
the prescribed license.
The reason advanced by Baltimore
packers that oysters would probably
he cheaper this season is that they
will be very plentiful and the growers
and tongers will find labor conditions
greatly improved. The price of extra
selects will be about $3.50 a gallon
Monday, and those in shells will bring
from So to $6 barrel These prices
are about the average of last year.
The majority of oyster shipments
that will reach the big city markets
next week will come from York and
Rappahannock river, and it is said thai
York river oysters are better this sea
son than Rappahannocks. The rock
oysters of the Rappahannock are UP
to the standard, but the planted varie-
ties are reported to be poor
William II. Killian, of the State Con-
serYation Commission, has returned
from an inspection of oyster beds in
Maryland and reported that prospects
were exceptionally encouraging for
splendid season.
