Attitude of Candidates o.
moral Issues" Big Factor
/, In Primary.

ANNAPOLIS. Sept. s.--The vote OF
the women and the so-called moral
issues are the uncertain elements In
the Maryland primary. to be held
next Saturday.
While both the Organization" ana
''progressive" factions OF the Demo
cratic party have endorsed states. in
cluding the five candidates for the
house of delegates, there 10 large
element--and among these Is hkey
to be found very large proportion
of the women-who care mucn HV.e
to secure candidates on the right side
OF the "moral issues" than they DO
for the success of any faction.
There are fifteen candidates for the
nomination to the house OF delegates,
and the voters who favor the passage
of concurrent legislation TO enforce
the Eighteenth Amendment, the aboli'
ton OF public race track gambling,
and Sabbath legislation declare they
can pick five of them who by their
records or definite pledges can be re-
Lied upon to vote 30.
AS a rule members OF this element
are favorable to w. Meade Holiday,
a member of the last house of dele
gates, who voted according to their
views on almost every point. Mrs.
Robert Moss, the only woman candi-
date for this nomination. and Charles
q. Feldmeyer. Robert @. Novel; and
John M. Lowman are looked upon as
satisfactory from this standpoint. w.
Hampton Linthicum. who had been
endorsed by the "progressives." has
withdrawn, without explanation. As
a member OF the house, he voted for
ratification of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
Mrs. Moss Id the wife of Judge Rob
ert Moss, of the local circuit court.
She was leader in the movement for
women's suffrage and is active In all
public matters.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Sept. 3.-The
Naval Academy today will be pre-.
sented two fine trophies. which will
be given conspicuous place along with
other memorials that make up a great
gallery collected at the Academy In
recent years.
: The newest additions will be a bust

France. and are the gifts of his daugh-
ter. Nine. Mende. of New York. Gen.
eral Porter was largely instrumental
in locating in French soil the casket

ing II brought back to this country.
1t now reposes in the crypt beneath
the Naval Chapel here.
The presentation of the gifts will be
made in Memorial Hall at the Acad-
emy. Mime. Mende will be unable to

POOL MAY
Be AUTO GRAVEYARD

BALTIMORE. Nd, Sept. s.-what
may turn out to be an "auto grave
yard" similar to the ones discovered
recently near Chicago. has been found
near Cockeysyilie. It Is an aban-
doner quarry hole on the farm Of Mrs.
Mary Bisseil Price. just south Of the
town. From It big touring car was
taken by men working under the d.
rection Of the State police.
The machine is believed to have been
in the water about three days. II
had been stripped OF nearly everything
removable, such as tires. battery, top.
seat cushions. and tools. Belief that
the machine had been stolen and these
articles taken by the, thieves was
seemingly contradicted by the fact
that a tire and some of the tools were
discovered later In the quarry.
The machine bore no license tags,
and both the engine and serial num-
bers had been mutilated. State Po-
liceman William Ensor. who was In
charge while the machine was being
taken from the water, said that little
progress toward finding the automo-
bile's owner has been made.

DEATHS FROM TRAFFIC
MISHAPS SHOW DECREASE

Figures submitted by Capt. Albert
J. Headiey, chief Of the traffic bureau.
to Major Harry L. Gessford, chief of
police. in regard to traffic mishaps
in the District during the month Of
August. show that only one person
died during the month as q result Of
injuries received In q traffic accident.
This Ii a decrease Of three for the
same period during 1919 and 1920. four
having been fatally injured during
August In those years. However. the
statistics show that serious injuries
resulting from traffic mishaps are on
the increase.
Eight persons were seriously in
jured during the month, while for the
same period during 1919 only five
were badly hurt and during August,
1920, six persons were seriously in
tured. Minor injuries during the
month amounted to 157. Damage to
property was caused In S45 cases.
Captain Headley also reported that
during the Donth 1.460 persons were
granted permits to operate automo-
biles. The number Of disapprovals
amounted to $50. A steady increase In
the number Of permits granted has
been noted since May. In that month
LOLA were granted, In June 1909 and
In July 1859. The total number dis.

the Little Big Horn in 1875. Few
Indians and no white men are left
alive, Of those who took part In Gus
ter's last battle. ~
Standing Buffalo refused to follow
Sitting Bull back to American soil.
Years after his surrender ito the
United States authorities, Sitting BuiI

massacre and Of how the white chief
with his long yellow hair falling over
his shoulders, his sword in one hand
and empty six-shooter a the other,
was among the last to die.
The old Indian took a deep interest
in the development Of the Canadian
West. When he came over the line
