ANNAPOLIS H. s. WILL
ESTABLISH RECORD
Largest Enrolment In History
Made On Opening Day
Entries Continue =
IT'S IN FRESHMAN GLASSES

Annapolis High School. for the
present term, will have the largest
attendance that has ever been en-
rolled here, it is stated at the middle
OF the first week of enrolment, though
the entries of new students are by no
means at an end
On Monday, the opening day of
school, there were 14S pupils admit
ted to the Freshman Glass, which is
tne highest number ever received in
the High School first year in Anna
polls. Even with this large number
Of enrollments it was said that there
were twenty pupils who had made ar
rangement to enter the high school,
but who had not yet been able to re-
port. Added to these there will
doubtless be many who will enter
without any announcement whatever,
these last coming principally from
the country schools.
The Freshman Class will probably
therefore, reach the number of IT'S.
Chief of the problems at the high
school lis that of providing room for
all Of the students. Every available
room is being thrown into use, and
it still appears that there may be a
final shortage of space.

TO CUT OFF CORNER
FOR SAKE OF SAFETY

Dangerous automobile driving, and
dangers that are presented TO the
drivers, are coming in for more and
more Of the consideration of the city
officials; and as rapidly as possible
steps are being taken for their elimi-
nation.
One of the points which has been
brought to the attention of the COun-
ell. through Alderman Russell. is the
projection of the sidewalk at the cor
ner of Maryland Avenue and State
Circle at the business plant of j. A.
WEIGH At this corner the sidewalk
extends in an acute point into the
street, making a difficult turn from
the circle into the avenue, particular
ly if another automobile happens to
be approaching from the avenue.
1t was pointed out to the Council
that by the removal of part of the
sidewalk here the corner would be
made much safer. without cutting the
walk to such width as to damage its
use to pedestrians.
After discussion of the question the
Council referred it to the Street Com
mittee with power to act.

Rape, was closeted with jury Zey

torney declared.
Zey Provost before the grand jury
last night is said TO have altered state

RESISTING ARREST.
NEGRO BIT OFFICER
Edward Semmes, Colored, Uses
Teeth After Failure To
Escape
B o TIL CAPToRS INJURED.

Not exactly armed TO the teeth. but
at least armed with teeth, and right
well armed at that, Edward Semmes,
colored, did battle viciously when he
was taken into custody yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff William |. Owens and
Edward Hug, who was assisting in
the arrest.
Sefnmes had been apprehended by
Ohicer Crawford for a minor offense,
and was turned over TO Hug to be
taken 10 Jail. When the trip to the
lookup was ready TO begin Semmes
made an effort to escape. but was pur-
sued hotly by Hug and Owens When
the former caught the fugitive a battle
followed, and Semmes made use OF his
teeth, injuring the arm of Hug quite
seriously. When Owens entered the
battle he was bitten on the hand, but
did not receive nearly so serious an
injury.
When their wounds had been dress
ed, the two completed their task of
seeing that Semmes was properly
locked UP. Besides the original
charge against the negro there are
now also two charges of assault, as
we'll as that OF resisting arrest.

OFFICIAL COUNT TAKES
PLACE TOMORROW

With only one day remaining before
the official canvass of the votes cast
in last Fridays primary election, the
attitude of those particularly interest
ed in the outcome has become one OF
"watchful waiting and without any
new developments in the situation
other than reported. Nothing has oc-
Cured to indicate any change in the
Democratic ticket. as heretofore given,
the drift being TO confirm rather than
to change the lineup, as announced
in these columns
The only point apparently still in
doubt, not counting the threatened
contest over the county commissions
ership of the Fourth District, is sixth
place on the State Central Committee
between Frank S. Revell and Oden
Bowie Duckett Ii will take the Off
cial count to determine this.
Women Make Strong Showing.
The part that the women played in
the campaign is shown to be increas-
ingly significant as the returns come
in from the various voting precincts.
These are still too scattered and frag-
mentary to form anything like an ex-
a nnf To. nf hnf. fnkr ut.
but certain 1t is that they made their
influence felt and in a way calculated
to make hide-bound factionalists sit
up and take notice." They had Ave
candidates in the field. all of whom
polled a most creditable vote. These
were Mrs. Maggie A. Moss. wife Of
Judge Robert Moss, for the House OF
Delegates. Mrs. Eyangeline X. White,
Mrs Blanche w. Cecil and Mrs. Juliet
ID. Strahorn for the State Central
Committee, and Mrs. Olivia E. Smith
for delegate TO the State Convention.
While nothing like complete returns
are yet obtainable those that have been
gotten thus far give an indication of
just how important the showing OF
the women candidates was Mrs
Cecil candidate for the State Central
Committee, for instance. received 207
votes in her home district, the Fourth.
which was second in the whole field Of
candidates for this Office, Bruner r.
Anderson, who also halls from this dis
trict leading with 290 votes. Mrs.
Cecil also received las votes in the
Second Ward Of Annapolis, as COM
pared TO Mr.. Anderson's 121 votes in
the same precinct. Size also ran we'll
up i'm a number of other precincts, but
her total vote was not sufficient 10
nominate her.
Mrs Moss received 81 votes in her
own precinct, the Second Ward Of An
napolis, which was well ahead OF that
of several of her running mates. She
received 81 votes in the First precinct
of the First district, which was also
well up among the candidates, and in
a number of other districts ran
strongly.
Mrs. White, too, showed exceptional
strength in the voting, receiving 100
votes in the First precinct Of the First
district, and also running strongly i'm
West Annapolis, her home district, and
in adjoining precincts.
Mrs. Strahorn likewise made mos
gratifying showing, polling 4S votes in
her home precinct and getting well
along in number OF others.
Mrs Smith for the State Conven-
ton polled we'll over 100 votes in her
own district, the Fifth, and also in the
First precinct Of the First district, ami
got 1O7 votes in the Fourth district
alone.
