CLUB DEBT Is SMALL
Racquet Organization Saved During
War by Remarkable Management

When the thirtipth annual meeting of
the Racquet Club was held last night Il
host of members. including many in uni
forms of various branches of the scrv-
ice, just returned from foreign shores.
learned that despite the most serious
period through which any club could
have passed in the last year. the d. :. it
was scarcely over seven thousand ~
lars.
Good business management and
the generous donations of members to n
guarantee fund made this possible. Dur
ing the war 243 meF were in active
service. with Il number of others doing
: special work. As their obligations to the
club were rcmitted during service in
either army or navy, and as the loss Of
their expenditures in the club amounted
to a heavy sum, the task confronting
the officers was severe one.
Five new members of the board Of
governors were selected for a three year
period. They were Robert X. Cassatt,
j. Rutherford McAllister. Edwin l..
Hyneman. James Potter and William
HI. Dougherty.

PROPERTY OWNERS
DECLARE P|GGERY
PLANT A NUISANCE
So Another Injunction Suit Was
Filed In Circuit Court
Here Today
HAS BEEN GIVEN TRIAL

That the Baltimore city "piggery
plant established on farm lands ae-
nuired by the municipal authorities of
that city in Bodkin Creek in the upper
section of the cSunty, has proved itself
a nuisance, is the essence of the petit
ton for an injunction filed in the Cir
cult Court for Anne Arundel county
here this afternoon in behalf of about
90 property owners in the vicinity Of
the plant, by Attorneys Lester l..
stevens, Bruner II. Anderson, f: S.
Stincheomb and Osborne /. Yellott.
! This case has been in the courts on a
previous occasion, but now it is pre-
aented on a new angle. The petitioners
claim that the plant is a nuisance in
every way, and asks the Court to take
such action az is necessary to have it
hbated. The papers in the ease were re-
eeived at the Court Clerk 8 Office this
afternoon, but Judge Moss has not as
yet taken action thereon, that is, fixing
date for the hearing of arguments.
The 'piggery is assaiIed by the com
plainants in the strongest manner.
When the city bought the Jubb farm
on BOdkin creek and entered into a con-
tract with the American Feeding Com
pany for the disposal of the city gar
bage by way of the stomachs Of pigs
residents of the neighborhood immedi-
ately entered a protest and made appli-
cation to the local court for an injunc-
tion TO restrain the establishment of
the piggery, on the ground that it
would be nuisance. Judge Moss de-
.cided that the court had jurisdiction
land overruled demurrers to the bin Of
complaint, whereupon the city took the
case to the Court of Appeals, which de-
cided that until it was actually shown
that damage was done by the enterprise
and that it had proved itself a nuisance
the court would not grant an injunction.
In the bill fled today it is declared
that "the nuisance resulting from the
maintenance of the piggery has proved
so much worse than it was ever CON
templated it might prove and has gone
so far beyond the bounds of all that, is
reasonable or right that the pc fioners
are constrained to ask fG.~fedress by
way of injunction, especially in view of
the fact that the maintenance of the
piggery during to last six months has
demonstrate sconelusively that they
gould ha ~ no adequate redress through
actiene for damages in courts of law"
After pointing out that the parties
to the suit are the owners Of 1862 acres
of land, of an average value of 800 an
acre, or $766,000, the petition goes on

CONGRESS ASKS FOR
REPORT ON HAZING
AT NAVAL ACADEMY
4 washincton dispatch states:.

A Washington dispatch states:-
Congressional circles are interest
ed in the repeated reports of hazing
al the Naval Academy and OF the
brutal treatment of younger midshlp-
men said to have been hazed. And
unless the Navy Department gives
conclusive assurance of proper disci-
Mine AT the institution for the sup
preston of that sort of thing there
will be an investigation by commit
tees of Congress.
ALREADY Representative Kelly, OF
Pennsylvania, has offered a resolu-
lion calling upon the Secretary of the
Navy for a report on the alleged haz-
ing. He has supported this with
statement made TO him in private
letter from a midshipman referring to
The cruel and heartless hazing to
which he has been subjected.
Secretary Daniels. speaking of the
matter informally, declared he would
not hesitate to expel 100 midshipmen
from the academy if he found that
they had been implicated in haZing OF
any description He added that he
lid not believe any hazing was going
on there, but would not make up his
mind until he was in possession of all
the facts"

'sTbe odor on damp or still
days permcates the atmosphere in all
directions within radius of from three
to FIVE miles: that the odor is
of such character that it is impossible
for any person possessed of ordinary
sensibilities to live within five miles Of
the piggery without actual physical
discomfort and Inconvenience; that it
IN so sickening and disagreeable that
many of the compliments find it nee
essary to keep the windows of their
homes closed for days at a time: that
it makes impossible the eating of
meals in comfort, and that it makes it
extremely difficult to keep servants
in the homes or labor on the farms
Dissertation On Flies.
In addition to the odors, ii is de-
clared that the piggery has become a
breeding place for myriads of flies,
which swarm in droves throughout the
aeighborhood and penetrate the homes
of the complainants, who live within
three miles of the place, notwithstand-
ing the fact that doors and windows
are screened, and they cover food on
the table and in the kitchens and
pantries. The flies, are of three varie-
ties, the common house fly, which has
heretofore existed in the community
but in much less numbers than now.
and two varieties of blow flies, which
IL
to the community and are the direct
product OF the garbage, and refuse
found at the piggery. One of these is
the more or less common green blow
fly and the other is the black and white
striped blow fly, sometimes known as
the maggot fly, because it deposits live
maggots wherever it lights. These
flies, it is declared, are carriers of dis
ease and are apt to disease the neigh
borhood., Moreover, it is alleged, the
piggery attracts large focks of buzz
yards.
Another objection raised against the
piggery is that it has ruined the wa
ters~of Bodkin creek for all useful pur-
poses and for purposes of pleasure.
1t is c0ntended in the bill that the
maintenance of the piggery is entirely
unnecessary to the reasonable perform
anee of the duty of collecting and dis
posing of the garbage of Baltimore,
since the city could dispose of it in a
scientific manner that would not result
in loss and injury to the compliments
that the controlling motive on the part
of the city in adopting this method of
garbage disposal is to derive revenue
from it, and not because it is an eff
fcicnt method, While on the part of
the American rieeding Company it is a
mere inc .@sht to the feeding and mar
keting of pigs, and is merely a money
mensing proposition.
