King George street, when the little

somehow fell off, getting underneath
the car while ii was in motion. He
later died from the injuries at Emer-

AT the time, il was understood that
there was no question about the dis <
tressing accident being unavoidable.

ceased lad took the matter before the
State Automobile Commissioner, who
referred it to the grand inquest for its

HOLD ON
HOWARD GROVE TOSSERS
St. George Barber, Who Sup
ported Team, Pays Off Play
ers For Season
TO BOOM VAGABOND A. c.

St George Barber, member of the
Board of County Commissioners, an
ardent baseball enthusiast. who back
ed the team known as Howard
Grove" last season, has been admit
ted TO membership in the Vagabond
Athletic Club, of Annapolis. and will
now bend all his energy and enthu-
siasm for the promotion of athletics
in Annapolis
He has therefore. disbanded the
Howard Growers. and has paid off
all the players whom he had engaged
for the 1921 season. This means a
big sacrifice on the part of Mr.. Barber,
as he had developed one of the best
mi-professional teams in this sec
tion of the east AS a member of
the Vagabonds he hopes to give ac-
tive aid in turning out one of the
strongest amateur teams in the south.
II has been some time since An
napolis has been represented ty a
baseball team of any repute, and now
that the Vagahonds are we'll organiz-
ed. it is essential that the club should
have the support and cooperation of
all Annapolitans, TO develop a win
ming team.
John Wilson. former ST. Johns
star, otherwise known as Johnny
Buck" has refused offers OF big money
from the best leagues in this State
in ordor m pyt AnnanoIiS atblaticS IN

knowledge of baseball it is a certainty
that the yagaEonds will make rapid
progress toward winning the cham
pionship of the State.
With the material that has been
turning out every day, there will be
three teams, one quite as good as
the other and of which Annapolitans
should feel proud.

the same Overwhelming success that
greeted their performance at Upper

night the play was given for the bene-
fit of the local high school and was

very successful.

MURDER AND OTHER
PRESENTMENTS MADE

That the Anne Arundel county
Grand Jury, is making a sweeping in
sestigation Of liquor conditions in the
city and county. particularly as re-
CARDS alleged "bootlegging." which
was stressed by Judge Moss when he
delivered the charge TO that body. is
further indicated by the fact that
police Chief Charles 0berry and all
members of the city police force, were
called as Witnesses before the inquest
yesterday.
Judge Moss. II will be recalled. said
that his attention had been directed to
repeated cases OF drunkenness about

fective. Because of the liquor probe,
II is not unlikely that the grand jury
will be engaged in its work during the
rest of this week. Having disposed
of other criminal cases under inves-
tigation, the jury. in the ordinary
course probably would have finished
its work last week
Whether or not the investigating
body has gathered any evidence that
will lead 10 presentments and subse-
quent indictments of persons for
bootlegging. or other forms OF liquor
violations is not known. Al least. no
such action has been reported up to
the present time Fifteen midshipmen
have been before the jury, presumably
on this score. but whether they were
able to shed any light on the alleged
law violations, is not known. The
grand jury. however. returned pre-
sentiments in number of other cases
of more or less serious nature. Some
of these have already been disposed
of in Court, or are pending. These
are referred to elsewhere in The
Evening Capital OF today.

way OF reduced prices unless the

Responsibility for reductions in

as the operators have already lowered
their prices to a very narrow margin

cost of production" he said
Operators having contracts cannot
honorably refuse 10 carry them out.

The trouble with many people has
been that they lacked Imagination. In
their town life they have never seem
I'd to see the gains and advantages
that could be secured BY cooperative
effort. And in their homes. they ney-
er felt the necessity for any modern
or artistic touch.
The physical aspect Of many homes
is depressing. There are just plain
bare walls in and out, no flowers
shrubbery or tree planting. Inside
there are no pretty carpets. rugs, or
tasteful wall paper or pictures. 1t is
not surprising that young people feel
that such . place is forbidding and
that they long to get out of it.
The older people who have created
these homes cannot always see why
they are not perfectly good. They had
to work hard to get where they are.
