COLORED' MAN AMUCK
WITH AK AND PISTOL
Former Inmate Of Brownsville
Institution, Harboring Delus-
ion, Proves Dangerous
COLORED WOMAN FLEES

William Tucker, powerful colored
man, who at one time was an inmate
of the Brownsville hospital, created
CONSERVATION last night on Calvert
street, by hunting for Margaret Duke
with axe and pistol. That the wo-
man escaped with her life was re-
markable under all the circumstances.
Tucker is obsessed with the idea
that the woman has caused currents
of electricity to go through his body
and gave this as his excuse for his
action. He broke down the door of
the house with the axe, and then the
door of the room in which the woman
was, and finally fired pistol at her.
She managed to run past him and gain
shelter in neighboring house.
Tucker was arrested this morning
by Sergt Holiday and Officer jack
son, of the Annapolis police force. He
persisted in his statement that the wo-
man was sending electricity through
him, and had been doing so for the
past two years. About thirty dollars
damage vas done to the house, which
belongs 20 William E. Feldmeyer.

KEEP KNITTING, APPEAL
OF NAVY LEAGUE COM.

Because the war is ended and the
Red Cross has given out an order TO
its members TO stack needless there
is an increasing demand for knitted
garments. The Comforts committee
of the Navy league, through its chair
manA Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee. of
New York, has appealed TO the women
to keep up the work of last year and
more.
I'VE gave out one thousand sweaters
to the crew of New England vessel
last week." said Mrs. Satterlee, "and
yesterday an emergency call for a
ship leaving at once found us able to
supply only fifty pairs of socks. ten
sweaters and no mufflers We also
received an appeal from an aviation
section of two hundred men in an out
of the way corner of the west coast of
France, where they have been quite
neglected and although they receive
their pay regularly. are unable to OBJ
tain knitted comforts at any price"

EPWORTH LEAGUERS
GIVE SPELLING BEE"
AND SOCIAL EVENING
0ld-FashiOned Event Greatly Enjoyed.
Mrs. Walter +. Shent0n Wins
Spelling H0nors

Under the auspices of the fourth de-
partment of the Epworth league, Miss
Sadie Fairbanks, leader. which is de-
voted to social and culture" an en-
tertainment was given last evening in
the lecture room of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church on State circle.
There was a large attendance, in
cluding many service men and few
candidates who have remained in town
during the holidays. Christmas greens
were used in the decorations and gave
the room a CHEEKY appearance. The
occasion was that of the regular
social. A number of games were
played, after which there was a
musical romance" Everybody was
provided with pencil and paper, and
Prof Shenton read, his wife playing
snatches of familiar songs and hymns
on the piano. The idea was when the
reader came to a familiar song, he
paused. the piano took up bar or two
of the song, and the audience was sup
posed TO guess it's name and write
same on the tablet provided. A prize
was awarded to the one guessing cor
rectly the greatest number of song
topics The musical romance" fur
nished much amusement and enter
tainment, besides refreshing the mem
ory with old musical selections.
That spoilers are born, not made
was evidenced by the old-fashioned
spelling bee" that formed profitable
portion of the evenings entertainment.
Miss Nellie Ennis and Miss Fannie
Duvall were named captains of the
two sides and they each choose their
men and women. The words were
kgiven out by Prof. w. ]. King, and
there were some catch words in the
list All stood the test pretty well at
the beginning, but one by one the spell
ers were stumped by the words and
! fell out. until Mrs Walter F. Shenton
was left standing alone, having out
spelled all the rest. 1t was great fun,
this old-fashioned spelling bee and
enjoyed by ALL 1t was remarked if
there were more spelling bees" there
would probably be better spoilers.
After the entertainment refreshments
were served, and a social evening en-
joyed.

A telegram was received at the
Evening Capital Office this morning
from New Orleans, announcing the
death of Mrs. Valentine S. Nelson, wife
of Commodore Nelson, U. S. ~, who

SON OF FORMER GOV.
is DELEGATE CANDIDATE

A forecast in a speech was made in
the house of delegates at the State
house, by one of the war workers OF
prominence in a drive for Liberty
bonds, "The men who have fought in
the world war will be leaders of men
in future, and to them will be ac-
corded of all others, political honors. "
While the gentleman in question who
gave utterance to this statement was
neither a prophet or the son of a
prophet, his prophecy is apparently
about to be fulfilled, inasmuch as the
son of former Governor Warfield is
named as candidate for the house OF
delegates from Howard county.
Young Warfield is now in the army
as a commissioned officer. He is a son
of former Goveror Edwin Warfield
If Warfield is put on the ticket it
will indicate that the fight between the
former governor and the Gormon ele-
ment of the party is at an end. At the
same time there is talk to the effect
that the nominee for the state senate
will probably be James Clarke, cap
able young lawyer of Ellicott city, and
one who has not recently been identi-
fed with the controlling element of the
democrats.

BASIS IN
PART AT ACADEMY
Not Likely That Old Peace Con-
ditions Will Be Wholly Re
sumed, However
IMPORTANT WORK AHEAD

Definite progress has been made
within the last two weeks towards a
resumption of the work of the Naval
Academy upon the basis which existed
prior to the emergency created by the
entrance of the United States into the
war. However. the institution con-
templates enlarged activities along
several lines. 1t is no. likely that the
number of midshipmen will ever go
back to that which prevailed prior to
the war, while postgraduate training
will be a still more important phase
of the work
1t has been settled that the present
class of reserve officers will complete
its course on January 80, and that no
class will take its place. 1t has 450
members, and is the fifth class of the.
kind to undergo an intensive course
at the Academy since the emergency
arose. There are also twenty-three
holders of temporary commissions as
assistant naval constructors. who have
just arrived, and who will complete a
course of one month at about the same
time.
Thus, the Naval Academy will bring
to a finish a work of the utmost i'm
portance which it has accomplished
during the war, and which has trained
$500 young men to hold temporary
commissions in every branch of the
naval service For the most part, these
young men have been quarteTed in
temporary wooden quarters, erected
within the Academy grounds, which
may now be removed As a rule. they
have attended the same classes as the
midshipmen, so that the number of
additional officers and instructors re-
quired has been very small.
Within the las. few days, has come
the announcement that Secretary of
the Navy Daniels wishes to restore
the four years course for midshipmen
as promptly as possible. He is at
present in possession of the data in
connection with the matter, and will
shortly pass upon the method by
which this will be accomplished. The
Academy authorities met the require
ment of a three year course by doing
away with the second class, and the
simplest method of restoring the old
order would be to permit the present
third class to become the second class
after June, when the first class grad
yates.
BY this plan, there would be no
graduating class in 1920. 1t has been
stated that the present third class has
done a considerable amount of adj

SUGGEST "PERSHING
ROAD" TO REPLACE
NAME "GERMANTOWN"
Names Too Suggestive OF Late Enemy
Not Popular With National
Patriotic Society

There has been some agitation
among the super-patrioic people OF
this county relative to a name for An
than the present one of Germantown.
The suggestion is made that it might
be called "Pershing Road or "Cavell
Place." or any one of a number OF
other good names identified with the
present war and serving the purpose
of honoring the allies.
In this connection the statement OF
William Mather Lewis, executive sec
retary of the national committee OF
patriotic societies, to the effect that
every city in the country should be-
gin the new year of peace by naming
a street in honor of our allies in the
war, is of interest.
Mr.. Lewis has sent letter to the
mayor of every city in the United
States in furtherance af this patriotic
idea
France and England and Italy
have honored the United States by
naming avenues after President Will
son and Gen. Pershing," he says, ''and
we should not be behind them in cour-
tesy. Furthermore, the European
countries have sacrificed historic and
euphonious names to do us honor; no
American city would feel the loss of
Main street or First avenue when its
place would be be taken by the Avenue
of the Allies or Foch street or Cavell
Place.

the plan of keeping the fire day and
night in the kitchen range should be
observed.
Today there are many burst water
pipes all over town and as it is diff
cult to secure the services of plumb
er. help having been largely interfered
with on account of the war conditions,
houses are in some instances without
the use of water and housekeepers
