FIRST R" MONTH
SEES OPENING OF
OYSTER SEASON
All Local Oyster Houses Open,
But Few Oystefmen Go Out
Because Many Are Plying
Other Trades With Better Pay

DEALERS RETICENT;
SEASON YOUNG YET

This being the first r. month the
oyster season opened today. Tong
ers all along the bay who. had been
looking forward to the day had their
boats in Ntrim and their equipment
ready. but il was stated at the c. W.
Martin Company, dealers in oysters
and all other sea food. that but few
compared to former seasons went out
after oysters.
When asked about how many tong
ers left the wharves and oyster
houses hereabouts today to get oys-
ters, John w. Martin. senior member
of the firm, said not more than ten
per cent. OF the usual number of oys-
termen.
This condition was explained from
the fact that most of the local oyster
men are now engaged in other pur-
suits that pay better, and would not
forsake these good jobs for oyster
ing. as the season does not promise
TO be good one. However, all signs
fail, and this may be good oyster
season later on.
Practically all local oyster houses
we're open today. But few oysters
were brought in, and the size and
variety of these, the local dealer said.
is not promising. The first few days
after the opening of the season will
be trial." Mr.. Martin said, "and
we can't tell anything about it yet. :"
The general belief is that oysters are
going to be scarce. and like every
thing else, high this season.

NO REASON HAS BEEN
ASCRIBED FOR DEED

with a ueep- gasn hi the. Tfrost that
extended for three inches, and razor
with which the wound undoubtedly
was inflicted lying nearby his left
hand. the body of white man, which
was afterward identified as that of
Louis T. Irwin, 55 years old. of Balti-
more, was discovered this morning
near the wall enclosure of St Anne's
cemetery.
Although there was some talk at
first that the man may have met with
foul play because OF the lonely spot
where the body was found, suicide is
the theory ascribed for his death.
Money. in bills and smJll change
amounting to 81, was found in his
clothing. together with a number OF
other articles, which would seem to
dissipate the theory of foul play. That
the man had planned to end his life by
one means or another is indicated by
tho fact that a bottle of blchloride OF
mercury tablets was found in his
clothing.
The suicide was feet inches in
height, of rather stocky build. He
wore a dark tan suit OF the Palm
Beach type, dark brown shoes, blue
hose. blue striped shirt, celluloid
collar, and a blue four-in-hand tie.
Identification of the body was estab-
lished by City Alderman John Wells.
of this city, as the dead man was
brother of the late Mrs. Louis II.
REIN, of Annapolis. and Mr.. Wells
knew him. Identification also was
confirmed by Joseph w. Moore, a
druggist, corner of Eager and Eden
streets, Baltimore. where Irwin had
had prescriptions, in pill boxes. filled
Mr.. Moore was communicated with
over the telephone. He was given the
numbers of the prescriptions, which
were found in the pockets of the dead
man. and recalled having filled them
for him few days ago. Mrs. Colman
and Mrs. Belle Miller, both of Balti-
more, both relatives of the suicide,
will come to Annapolis this afternoon
and take charge OF the body, and il Is
understood that burial will take place
htIt' iINiHs IL 10 SLdteu, was d0 eHl-
ployee of the Old Town Bank, of Bal
timore. and that yesterday was his
afternoon off. Just when he came to
Annapolis, no one seems to know; nor
has any reason been ascribed for his
untimely act.
Irwin, when he drew the razor
across his neck must have stood
against one of the large maple trees
outside of the cemetery wall and fell
to the bottom of the tree. A big clot
of blood was there, where, perhaps, he
had lain for while. The jugular vein
had been severed by the instrument.
1t is believed that he struggled. owing
TO the streams of blood and another
, pool OF it about the head where the
body was finally found, the head be-
ing close 10 the wall
Discovery OF the body was made at
7:10 this morning, and the city police
officials were Immediately notified.
