SENATOR F. M. DUVALL
FORMALLY WITHDRAWS
FROM SENATORSHIP RACE

RumOred That He win support John
IL. Gels Candidacy Three AspIr-
ants In Field

Another one of the many develop
ments that have been taking place
recently in Anne Arundel county poll
Frank NJ. Duvall formally withdrew
as a candidate for the State Senate
in the coming election. He gave notice
OF his withdrawal to the Board OF
Supervisors of Elections today, and the
question of returning his entrance fee
paid at the time of filing his candidacy
viii be decided at the Board 5 meeting
to e held tomorrow.
The probability of Senator Duvalls
withdrawal from the race had been
rumored about for some time and his
action, therefore. did not come as a
complete surprise
Just what new political lines viii
now be laid was the subject OF con-
siderable speculation in political cir
cles. and the rumor that seemed TO be
most generally accepted was that
Senator Duvall would fall in line with
that element of the so-called Progress
siye" faction that recently made up a
slate headed by John II. Gels, of Brook
lyn. for Senator.
II is understood that this course
has been more or less clearly indi-
Gated by Senator Duvall and some of
his friends and if this turns out to be
correct the political situation in the
county will be considerably enlivened
Now that Senator Duvall is no long
er a candidate, and former Mayor
Strange. having also withdrawn. the
three candidates left in the field are
John II. Gels, Hugh Il. Riley and A.
Theodore Brady.

MAY ASK WILSON'S
AID To- PREVENT
GENERAL STRIKE

L
Washington, Aug. 29.-President Will
son is TO he asked to take a hand in
the controversy between the steel
workers and the United States Steel
corporation in an effort to prevent a
general strike.
. This announcement was made today
by the committee of the steel workers
who charged that the steel corpora
tion is trying to force the issue before
the President could have an opportuni-
Hty TO pass upon the merits of the con-
troversy.
In a telegram to the United States
steel workers at Carey. Ind, the COM
mittee said the workers were not to
strike under any circumstances" nm
til the strike date had been set by the
committee.
The Carey Union had telegraphed
that the steel workers were being dis
criminatedf against and discharged by
the wholesale for the purpose of fore
ing a strike.
The steel workers have been trying
to force a conference with operators
of the steel corporations to discuss
wages, hours and working conditions
but thus far their efforts TO obtain such
conference have been unsuccessful.

RESCUE FIRENEN'S
CARNIVAL HAS BEEN
A GREAT SUCCESS
More Attractive Features Planned
For Program Tonight And
Tomorrow Night
MANY ENJOY DANCING

During The closing days Of the car
niyal that has attracted hundreds OF
people each night this week to the
grounds adjoining the W, b. & A. sta
/ ton on West street, special efforts are
| eing made ly all of the ladies who
! have worked so faithfully for the sue
/ cess Of the afair from the start, to
have been justified, for every night
thus far there has been an increasing
attendance over that of the preceding
evening.
Last night was marked the largest
gathering of the week Those people
who were driven home Iy the rain Of
Wednesday evening turned out again
in numbers to take advantage of the
excellent weather and enjoy the even
ing Of entertainment that the carnival
offers.
With the exception Of Wednesday,
weather has favored the fete from the
start, and the decorations have re-
NAMED as fresh as when they were
first placed on the grounds. Also the
floor has been pleasing. 1t was fear
ed at first that too much care was
eing given to the preparation of the
floor. @nce one big rain would he SUI
ficient To spoil the smoothness OF it's
surface This has not teen the case,
in spite OF the gloomy prognostica-
tions of those who were afraid that
ct,,,o+bs,,a ,uD,,ld I,onuap Tho Aonr
has been filled for every dance night
ly, and those who have enjoyed it say
that it is the lest temporary floor
that they ever danced upon. In fact,
the floor could scarcely be called tenn
porary, for it is Of portable construc
tion and therefore, can he kept for
service on other occasions.
Sales at all of the tooths have been
very large, and the carnival as a whole
is said TO he the most successful, thus
far, of any that has ever been held in
the city. Each night a delicious cake,
contributed by one of the city's bakers,
is awarded to the holder of the lucky
coupon in q contest. The lucky Win
ner was Miss Jars Grollman. who
was given the cake contributed by
Kings Bakery. The prize for tonight
will Re the contribution OF Purkra-
tek's Bakery. Each of the city bak
ers has made similar contribution,
and their assistance in this way has
teen a considerable advantage to the
cafnivafs financial success.
The demand for an opportunity to
become the owner of the Fbwhoat that
is being offered in one of the contests
has become so great that it was nee
essary for the committee to obtain
new supply of coupons to sell. The
toat stands high on a platform at the
carnival grounds, where everybody
may see it, and it has in itself proved
TO be very successful advertiser.
One of the big features each night
has been the minstrel show, the pro-
gram of which has been changed daily
The amount of work required in the
preparation of this part of the pro-
gram has been great, but the result
has warranted all of the expenditure
of time and thought that has been

midshipmen officially came to close
today when nearly LOO students. com

are getting out OF Annapolis, on their
annual vacation which will extend un-
/ til September 30. The majority OF the
lmddies contemplate spending their
leave throughout the country. but some
few who live at distant points, will
while away their time at the nearby
coast, or other resorts.
The complement of second and third
classmen who returned to Annapolis
yesterday aboard the six battleships of
the summer cruising squadron dsem-
barked from the respective ships at
daybreak, and with the members of the
first class who made the cruise on the
more modern fighting machines of the
Atlantic fleet. and who returned to the
city by rail having left the ships at
different naval stations along the At
lantic coast. the town was literally
Hooded with the khaki-clad youngsters
this morning and during the early aft
ernoon hours making purchases here
and there preparatory to going on
leave.
Long before the average Annapoli-
tan had turned over in bed for the
final morning "snooze," many of the
middies were being brought ashore on
barges steam cutters, submarine
chasers and other craft, and soon were
seen about the streets of the city.
Several banking institutions and the
clothing dealers were kept busy
throughout the day supplying the
needs of the embryo officers j.,
Perhaps the most noticeable thing
| in connection with the leave-taking
of the middies, was the fact that the
large majority of them went away in
their service Informs of blue, instead
of "cits," as has marked their attire
in former years. because there is al
ways a decided desire to discard the
regulation outfits during the vacation
period. About the only answer
that could be given to the question of
why such should lie the case, Is the
high cost of clothiug, for as everyone
knows, suits have scared In price
along with the general trend or the
H c. L." The price of a suit of
clothes right now is, in many instan-
cas more than double that compared
to the corresponding period Of last
year.

departure of the midshipmen, men
and boys about town, white and col
