NO SUMMER EXCURSIONS
ON B. & o. RAILROAD

A sweeping order was issued yes
terday by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad cancelling all summer ex-
cursions. Such excursions as have
been contracted for will be run as
scheduled, but there will be none TO
follow. The order applies to the en-
tire system.
The Baltimore and Ohio, as far as is
known, is the first of the large rail
roads of the country to adopt this
position regarding summer excur-
sions. The reason for the drastic or
der is an endeavor on the part of the
railroad officials to remove all OBJ
stacles to the free movement OF Ordi-
nary freight and passenger traffic
President willard is chairman Of the
advisory committee of the Association
of Railway Executives. which has in
charge the relief of freight conges-
ton on the nations rail systems. II
is understood he approved the move IN
the belief that every effort should be
made to expedite necessary traffic
rather than bring about extensive
travel through low fare inducements.

SECRETARY DANIELS
IGNORES ACCUSATION
BY ADMIRAL DECKER

Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt announced yesterday that
Rear-Admiral Benton c. Decker's re-
cent attack on Secretary Daniels and
himself probably would be passed
over as mot worth bothering about, ="
and no disciplinary action taken.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that both Ad-
miral Coontz. chief of the Bureau of
Operations, and Admiral Washing
ton, chief of the Bureau of Naviga-
tion, had recommended to Secretary
Daniels that Admiral Decker be de-
tached from duty al once. The As
sistant Secretary said that he and
Mr. Daniels agreed. however. at a
conference in San Francisco, that it
would be best to permit Admiral
Decker's charges to pass unnoticed.
1--WE felt that the entire service
knew Admiral Decker" Mr.. Roosevelt
said, "and that nothing would be
gained by making martyr of him.
The matter probably will be overlook
ed as not worth bothering about, al
though, it is, of course, direct vio-
lation of regulations"
Admiral Decker in recently pub
lished lettres to Chairman Hale. of
the Senate Naval Investigating Com
mittee, charged Secretary Daniels
with having deliberately and inten
tionally" misrepresented certain facts
in his testimony before the commit
tee. He also alleged that Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt had introduced
the element of political expediency
into the naval administration and
was sacrificing the good of the navy
TO such ends.

SET APART s51z CTS. FOR
CURRENT EXPENSES

City taxes reached the limit under
the charter when the City Council in
a special session last night, called by
Mayor Levy to consider that and other
important questions that have been
awaiting his return from the mid
West. fixed the rate at 81 on the 500.
The rate last year was 80 cents. The
taxable basis of Annapolis. in round
figures. now is S6.2OO,661, as compared
to $5,919,OO for last year.
The tax rate increase passed the
Council after very little discussion, all
members of the body apparently being
aware of the coming raise. 1t was the
first matter of business attended to
after the meeting was called to order.
Counselor Rullman had d bylaw fav-
orably reported by the Finance Com
mittee and ready for presentation to
the body when the session began.
Eighty-four and a half cents Of the
rate fixed is set apart to cover current
expenses of the municipaF government
for the fiscal year, and the other 14ls
cents is placed to the credit OF sink
ing funds for interest on the several
items of bonded Indebtedness Of the
city.
That the Council would take advant-
age of the maximum rate allowable
under the provisions Of the City Char
ter was not unexpected, because OF
the present condition Of the city
treasury and streets, and other pro-
jected city improvements for the year.
The bylaw embracing the several
items of the tax was passed by the
Council by unanimous vote.
