EXCURSION BOAT FULL;
200 LEFT ON WHARF

Sixteen hundred colored people left
Annapolis this morning aboard the
colchester Company's steamer for a
trip down the bay and day on and
in the water. The steamer, though it
had been thought that plenty of room
for all -excursionists would be pro-
vided, was much too small to accom-
modate the masses that thronged the
docks when she reached Annapolis
from Baltimore.
According to officials of the COM
pany more than 200 people were left
ashore when the boat pulled out,
carrying her legal limit of passengers.
There was considerable disappoint-
ment among those who were compell-
ed to remain at home, as preparations
for the picnic had been extensive.

ANNAPOLIS BOY WINS
L|FE-SAV|NG TROPHY
S. S. Handy. Jr., Awarded Silver
Cup At Plattsburgh Camp
For Water Feats
BEST OF OVER 200 ENTRIES

To enter a life-saving contest with
several scores OF young men at the
Plattsburg summer camp for the X. O..
T. c. in competition for the Macarthur
trophy. TO pass the elimination tests
that were first given them, and finally
TO win first prize for his endurance
and skill in handling a man in the
water, is the ability demonstrated by
Sidney S. Handy. Jr.. recently re-
turned from the New York camp with
a silver cup awarded him for his ex-
cellence in the feat.
More than 200 young men were en-
tered in the original contests. which
were open to all student officers at
Plattsburg during the past summer.
but the elimination tests trimmed the
number of final contestants down to
20. To these remaining men the most
difficult feats OF life-saving were
given.
From comparatively simple acts,
things grew worse and more difficult
to perform. and one at time the final
twenty began to be called ashore.
To win the first place Handy
was in the water for five hours.
The contests were held in Lake
Champlain.
The cup which was awarded
bears the inscription: "R. o. I.
C.. Infantry Camp, 1921, Platts-
burg Barracks. Swimming and
Life Saving, Won by Sidney S.
Handy. Arthur Macarthur, donor"
Ii will be remembered that young
Handy saved the life of a student of
Richmond College, Richmond, Va,
during the summer of 1920. while he
was spending the summer at that
place The student. who could not
swim, was some distance from shore
in a canoe when the craft upset.
Handy. attracted by his cries for help.
plunged into the water, swan to the
mperilled man and assisted him to
reach the canoe. afterward towing
him ashore.

MRS. WH|TT|NCTON
LOSES CHILD IN
CHESTER DISASTER
Local Woman. Formerly OF West
River, In Serious Condition In
Chester Hospital After Expert
ence In Bridge Accident-May
Not Live
CROWD ATTRACTED
BY CRIES OF BOY

| Not until last night was il known
that Annapolis was touched directly
by the disaster of Sunday evening at
Chester. Pa, in which 25 people were
drowned by the collapse of a bridge
foOtway on which they were standing.
First information of the local misfor-
rune came TO John Phipps, Superin-
tendent of the State Buildings and
Grounds in Annapolis. in a telegram
from his sister, Mrs. Ada McCully, of
Wilmington. The message stated that
another sister of Mr.. Phipps, Mrs.
John Wilmington. of Chester. and her
eight-year-old daughter. Dorothy. had
been among those who were dropped
into the Chester river when the bridge
collapsed. The little girl was drown
ed. the message stated. and Mrs. Whit
tington was in grave condition in a
Chester hospital. Little hope is held
for her recovery.
Just how Mrs. Wilmington was hurt
in the accident was not stated. whe-
ther by near-drowning or by the fall
itself.
The accident occurred when crowd
was attracted to the bridge by the
cries of eight-year-old Charles Apos-
tolus, who had been pushed into the
water and was drowning. When his
calls for help reached the pedestrians
on the street above him there was a
mad rush for the bridge. Mrs. Whit
tington and her daughter were among
those who pressed upon the footpath
that ran beside the driveway of the
bridge. The weight of the throng was
too great for the supports of the foot
path. and gusset plate, already near
ly rusted in two. gave way beneath
the strain; the ironwork left without
support, bent, the footway dropped
like trapdoor suspended at one end.
and the victims were dumped into the
river At the point where the accident
occurred the river was death trap
with vertical sides. factory walls ris-
ing sheer from a drowning depth of
water on both sides.
The bodies OF the victims were re-
covered on Monday, and that of the
Wilmington girl was sent to the home
o. her parents in Chester.
Mrs. Wilmington was formerly
Miss Florence Phipps, of near West
River, Anne Arundel county. She has
resided with her family in Wilmington
for the past fifteen years until about
three years ago, when they moved to
Chester. Dorothy was the only child
Due to the condition of the mother

ter, where they will remain indefi-
nitely.

about one o'clock this morning. Ar

upon the testimony they hal heard
The conclusion was reached, i. was
announced, TO defer action until fur

COUNCIL CONSIDERS
MAKING CHANGES IN
TRAFFIC ORDINANCES

That there will likely result more
definite and strict set of regulations
of traffic in the city OF Annapolis than
those now in force is the appearance
of few of the discussions that took
place at the meeting of the City Coun-
Gil last night.
An order was passed that certain
parking signs be placed in the city.
particular with regard to the entrance
to the fire engine house on East street,
the home of the Water Witch Hook
and Ladder Company. This gave rise
to a general discussion of the parking
question, and some interesting views
were stated. Among them was the
opinion of Alderman McCready that
the city might profitably establish a
parking fee, such as is charged by
other cities for this privilege.
There appeared to be general SEN
timent in the Council favoring the ex-
tension to other streets of the collec-
tions for violations, which are now
collected on Main street. This is the
only street of Annapolis on which the
rules have been strictly enforced in
the past.
At the instance of Counselor Riley.
the Council passed an order that the
Ordinance Committee prepare and
have ready for the next meeting of
the Council suggestions for the i'm
proyement of the city's traffic laws
Action will be based upon these sug-
gestions.

cation last night OF the death of Miss
Virginia Rappe, film actress. for whose
alleged murder Roscoe tFsatty) Ar
buckle is now under arrest, was issued
here today by District Attorney Brady.
Mr. Brady in the statement also
charged that he believed that undue
influence and pressure of sinister
character has been brought to bear
upon certain witnesses" Whether or
not an arrest would be made in con-
nection with his charge of perjury, he
said. would depend upon further de-
velopments.

Grady charged that Miss Zey Provost,
also known as ley Pyyron, had
her testimony before the
grand jury room that she had given
previously to the police and officials
OF the district attorneys Office that
Miss Rappe had told her Arbuckle was
responsible for her injuries.

ment that Miss Rappe had told ner this
and later it was said she denied she
had ever made the assertion concern
ing Miss Rappe's injuries.

MONTHS DEATH RATE
HIGHEST SINCE FLU"

That the deaths of the past month
have been greater in number than
thpse of any previous month since the
epidemic of ''fiu" in 1918 was the point
of emphasis made by DIR. Joseph c.
Joyce. City Health Officer, in his re-
port to the City Council last night
There were Is deaths during August,
the report of DR.. Joyce stated, though
no epidemic or alarming cause was re-
sponsible for them.
The report continued with the more
comforting information that 30 births
were recorded during the same time.
This number. though not unusually
large, is pleasantly in excess of the
death rate.
