IMPORTANT CHANGES
AMONG ACADEMY CLERKS
Charles Schlegel Goes To Pur-
chasing Office, Baltimore, After
IA Years Service Here
A. E. MARTAK, PROMOTED

Another change has been made eff
fective in the clerical personnel of
the Naval Academy in the transfer OF
Charles Schlegel to the Navy Pur-
chasing Office in Baltimore.
Mr. Schlegel was first employed at
the Naval Academy on August 81.
1906. and assigned to the Com
mandant's Office. for several years
until he was assigned as stenographer
to the Superintendent.
Mr.. Schlegel has been succeeded in
this position by the promotion OF A.
E. Martak. who was first employed at
the Naval Engineering Experiment
Station on July 6. 1912. and was la
ter transferred TO the Secretary
Office on October 10. 1916. where he
has been continuously employed ever
since except for brief period in 1918
when he went to Mississippi with his
family.
In the latter part of 1914, he was
transferred to duty as Chief Clerk to
the Secretary of the Naval Academy,
P. H. Magruder, where he remained
until mis- transfer to Baltimore, OF
which city he is a resident. thus COM
plotting practically fourteen years
continuous service at the Academy.
In the latter position, in the office
of the Secretary, which carries sal
airy of $1,000 per year, his duties
were of a very important nature. In
this particular Office rests the most
important work in the Academy, as
the historic records, including the
marks assigned TO the midshipmen,
candidates records. etc, are kept
there. Schlegel was highly efficient
clerk. +
The promotion of Martak also
causes the promotion of George w.
Sullivan, of Annapolis. Sullivan has
been employed in the Office since De-
cember, 1917 His salary is $1,000.

Gus kinds of tools, showed the officer
a satchel that had been brought to
him by colored boy offering to sell
1t for $500.
Mr. Dull had told the boy to leave
the satchel and he would look over
the contents. being too busy to do so
at the time. In the meantime, Mr..
Dull read in Saturdays Capital of the
robbery of Mrs. Cresap's house, and
became suspicious, sending for the Of
ficer. Together they found the fol-
lowing articles in the satchel:

GOVERNOR PLANS TO
CUT DOWN EXPENSES
To This End He Invites Depart.
ment Heads To Informal
Supper At Mansion
WILL BE HELD FRIDAY

Governor Richie has sent to heads
of the several state departments an
invitation to join him at an informal
supper in the executive mansion here
on Friday evening.
While no formal program for the
supper has been announced it is un-
derstood that the Governor will take
up with the departmental heads an
outline of the extra session of the
General Assembly ordered to be con-
Vened by him on Monday, Septem-
Der 20.
1t is further understood that the
Governor has in mind a discussion of
survey OF the several departments
Of the state with a view to a reduc-
ton in governmental expenses. In
his budget the Governor set aside the
sum of $4,000 with which to have
this survey made by experts. Since
the passage of the budget by the Cen
eral Assembly the Governor has an
nounced that he will make the sur
yoy along lines in his mind.
1t is because OF this determination
that heads of departments are look
ing forward to questions at the din
ner bearing on the conduct of these
departments with a view to reducing
expenses and increasing revenues. 1t
is not proposed that any program
agreed upon at the supper shall be
available for the extra session, but
shall be further investigated with a
view to drafting bills for the regu-
lar session of 1922.

nearly three months of summer vaca-

The various public schools scattered

stance, are to the effect that the class

only drawback in connection with the
resumption of work is the fact that

who emerged from homes in northern,

Is Anybody for Coz. Cox?
--Haruey's Weekly Questions

Who is for Cox? Is anybody !
We ask the question in all serious
ness, although not of course IN a
closely restricted sense. Naturally
he is for himself and 80 is the titular
manager of his canvass, Mr.. George
White; so, too, we may assume safe
ly, are many offceholders who would
like to retain their places. But what
of those, Democrats as well as Re.
publicans, who are generally recog-
nized as thoughtful guides or true
refectors of intelligent public opin-
ion?
Many are against Harding. That
goes without saying. 1t could not
be otherwise in party-governed
country. Many are for the Wilson
League whose hearty endorsement
by the President himself was UNI
qualifedly ratified by the Democratic
convention. Some, though fewer
than there were before he began to
prattle like a babe in arms, are for
Franklin D.
But is anybody for Cox? No Re-
publican; that is certain. One hears
from all sides of Democrats who
announce their intention of voting
for Harding, but the Republican who
means to support Cox has yet to
make himself known. None of the
former Progressive either, so far as
one can learn. The Harding blanket
is a big one; it covers them all
Crane and Taft as completely as
Johnson and Robins and Wood and
Hoover and all of their respective
satellites,-not merely the ninety and
nine who usually suffice, but the
whole hundred safely lie in the shel-
ter of the fold under the watchful
eye of Shepherd Hays. Truly, re-
markable spectacle, and one, we
should say, that would seem to JUS
tify the choice made of a candidate
at Chicago.
And the Democrats! Fairly reg
ular to all appearances so far, but
clearly from tradition rather than
from conviction, and ominously still.
Not only is the Beerless Leader still
over the hills and far away, but ever
and anon there flashes sinister
CLEAN from the Washington holy of
holies. A delightful talk" no doubt;
absolutely at one on the League y
perhaps, as the story runs of the Dip
lomat and the Lady. We shall know
more about it on Saturday, when

Fortune Awaits Man
Believed in County
Heir to Fortune May Reside in Sank
Centre or Vicinity-Texas For
tune Awaits Him

Elijah James, a former Texan, is
believed by his old acquaintance to
be now resident of Stealns county.
He may be resident of Sank Centre
or vicinity. At any rate, attorneys
in Texas are making search in this
locality for the man that they may
hand over to him a neat little sum
Of $4,000.
The fortune is an eighth share Of
the estate of Elijah's father who died
in 1919. The father owned a farm
of sandy land near the little town Of
Somerset, Texas. After his death il
was discovered that the farm became
shallow oil field and greatly in
creased in value.
Elijah James has been away from
Somerset for nearly eight years.
That many years ago he was urged to

GRAIN CAR SITUATION
IMPROVED BY EMPTIES
Many Cars Passing Into Northwest
Daily Through
Cities

The grain car situation in Mime
apolis and the northwest is showing
decided improvements, according 10
officials of the Minneapolis Traffic
association. Between 800 and $50
empty cars a day are now passing
through the city in trainloads bound
for western grain fields, while about
80 cars day, nearly enough to care
for present terminal requirements,
are unloaded in local yards.
Grain in Minneapolis elevators has
been reduced to approximately 1,O00,-
900 bushels. Country elevators in the
territory hold 100000 bushels and
100000 is still in the hands of
northwest farmers.
Indications are that as many box
cars willcars will be available this
cars will be available this year as last
to handle the new crop but the yield
is larger New grain win begin to
flow into the city about Sept. 1, at
the rate of 800 to 1000 cars day.

the candidate will speak his piece;
and then what? as the baby would
ask.
Well, it all depends. Frankly, we
take little stock in the furtively dis
seminated rumor from. Washington
that, if Mr.. Cox does not come
straight up to the mark on the sacred
Covenant, the President has alleady
determined to wash his hands of the
whole business, resign his pos ton
and let the gang of hated bosses
rush the old party to destruction. 1t
sounds like bluff such as we have
heard before. And yet one never
can tell how a mind fed up on cine
ma pictures may work. But for the
sacrifice of authority, house, salary
and perquisites, he might do it. In
any case, Mr.. Cox cannot complain
of lack of warning open as we'll as
stealthy.
The Gay Dean of the Evening Post
grumbles inevitably at Mr.. Harding's
courteous but firm refusal to accept
the Wilson covenant, but stresses
particularly the "great opportunity
thereby opened to Mr.. Cox and turns
menacing gaze upon Tails End,
Ohio. The World, still suffering
from the effects of it's Hoover aber-
rancy, merely groans. The Times,
however, speaks up braveiy. After
quoting the new Democratic chair
man, Mr. George White, as dec!ar-
'ne that the League is only a "sec-
ondary chief issue" and that the
,eople of Ohio are not greatly inter-
sted in it ANYWAY. it calls tie gen.
tleman sharply to account, demands
o know "by what authority he
speaks and suggests startling re-
semblance to the traditional parrot.
The unmistakable purpose of these
stern supporters Of Mr.. Wilson, Of
course, is to notify Mr.. Cox that if
he so much as shades the Presidents
announcement that the new leaders
mind trots along with his own, he
may have cause for deep regret.
Indeed, so far as we have noticed,
not one of the metropolitan journals
has declared for the Democratic
nominee. This is about the way we
size them up at the present writing:
For Harding and Coolidge-Ihe
Sun and the Mail.
For Wood and Coolidge-The Trio
une.
For Coolidge but against Harding

marry woman who claimed him as
the father Of her child. After mar
riage, James, claiming he was not
the father of the child, deserted tie
woman and left the vicinity.
Recently a relative at Somerset re-
ceived letter from Elijah James, the
latter using the alias "Bill Davidson.
lie stated that he was in Iowa and
would soon go to Minnesota. 1t is
thought likely that he is with trav-
cling show.
The women whom Elijah james de-
serted has taken action to claim the
share of the estate for her sen,
claiming that Elijah is legally Gead
by reason of his absence without be-
ing heard from for more than seven
years. The suit will come to trial in
the near future and if Elijah James
does not appear, his fortune of $15.-
900 which will increase with further
development of the oil fields, viii! GO
to the child.
It is believed that Elijah is afarid
of trouble with San Antonio author
tiles because of his desertion. Au-
thorities state that he need not enter
tain any fear because the woman has
taken unto herself another husband
Arthur V. Wright, attorney for Sde
estate of Elijah James father, is
making an effort to locate the prodi-
gal and if Elijah is in this vicinity
he can place himself on easy stree,
by communicating with this attorney
at San Antonio.

The Times.
Against both Harding and Cool-
idge-The World.
For the Wilson League-The Eve
ming Post.
Against everybody-The Jou nal
and the American.
On the fence-The Globe.
For Cox-Nobody.
1t is an odd condition of affairs
which seems to pervade the entire
country. The Philadelphia North
American and the Kansas City Star
are not noticeably enthusiastic for
the Republican ticket, but they GER
tainly are not for Cox. Even tine
Springfield Republican and the Bos-
ton Post are gun shy. In truth
barring the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal and a few Southern papers which
exercise no influence upon the cleo
ton, we think of but one public
journal that is intellectually for
Cox. That is the Dayton News
whose pro-German heart still beats
true to it's owner.
Messrs. Murphy, Taggart, Bren-
nan and Nugent, tried and true, will
get as many votes for their csndi-
date as they can obtain undoubted-
ly, but even the Vets will rally to
his support solely because of their
belief that, regardless of what Re
may say he is with them and will
deliver the goods they want.

Is anybody ?-Harvey's Weekly.
