NO MATERIAL CHANGE
IN TICKET MAKEUP
AS FIRST INDICATED
Holladay Seems Certain Of Place
On Legislative Ticket Over
Knopp-Forrner Polls Heavy
Vote In First District; Latter
In Third
REVELL AND DUCKETT
CLOSE FOR CENTRAL COM.

Notwithstanding that practic-
ally three days have elapsed since
the primary election in Anne
Arundel county, the complete fig
ures from the various precincts
have not yet been obtainable in
Su--ciently definite form TO state
the exact figures OF the election.
The tally sheets and election
paraphernalia were returned TO
the office OF the Supervisors of
Elections this morning, but the
official canvass OF votes will not
be made until Thursday. What
scattered reports have come in,
plus those which have been gotten
over the telephone and from un-
official messengers, verify the
outcome as stated in Saturdays
issue OF the Evening Capital.
However. all doubt as 10 the nomi-
nation of w. Meade Holiday, OF An
napolis, over Frank o. Knopp. of the
Eighth District, seems to have been re-
moved, thus making the House OF
Delegates ticket as follows: James
F. Baldwin, Dorsey J. Dunlap, Allen
Bowie Howard. George e. Rullman
and w Meade Holiday. The four
first named were on the "Organiza-
ton" ticket, Mr.. Holiday being OF
cording TO the unofficial returns,
Messrs. Holiday and Knopp ran
about even in Annapolis for fifth place
on the Legislative ticket, in the First
District the former polled a heavy
majority and also ran well ahead In
several of the other precincts. Knopp
carried the Eighth District over Hol-
laday. however, and got good sized
majority in the Third District, and is
said to have carried the Fifth by five
Indication at present. Mr.. Holiday is
nominated by safe margin, taking
the county altogether.
Another position concerning which
there was considerable doubt, and
which is even yet undecided, is that
of sixth place on the State Central
Committee ticket. The five who have
landed are Messrs. Chew, Douw and
Anderson of the "Progressives," and
Strange and Myers OF the "0rganiZa-
ton" faction. The sixth place is said
to lie between Revell and Duckett Of
the Organization. II will probably
take the official returns to determine
this place, the margin. as shown by
the unofficial returns, being around
twenty votes.

NAVY WORKMEN Jake
APPEAL TO HARDING
Hope Entertained That President
May Be Moved To Aid
Civilian Employees

An attempt of Washington civilian
employees of the Navy Department, in
the navy yard OF that city, to carry
their claims for higher wages directly
to President Harding may have a far
reaching effect in the pay of workers
at the Naval Academy, if it is success
full in convincing the President that
the recent wage slashes bring their
pay down to point which must re-
duce their standards of living to a
plane of discomfort
The move to obtain the sympathy OF
the President with hope for his in
Perception in the matter has come as
the result of the last announcements
of reductions in pay. which, as well as
cutting day each week from the time
that can be made by the workmen, re-
duces the hourly rate of pay by 25 per
cent
In Annapolis the Naval Academy
workmen are hard hit; the reduction
applies to all classes of workmen. As
an instance of the reductions which
are being put into effect, one of the
highly skilled workmen who has been
employed at the Academy for several
months. and who has been receiving
SITS per day for his work. is now re-
duced to $4.1S per day
There are numerous cases where
the employees of the Academy have
purchased homes with the assistance
of local financing bodies. and are now
put to serious thought about the pay
ment, the reduction being such as to
not only wipe out their savings and
investment allowances, but in the
cases of men with families, to bring
the necessity of curtailments in ex-
penditures along other lines.
At meeting of the International
Association of Machinists held yester-
day in Washington. resolutions were
adopted and will be presented to Presi-
dent Harding 1t is through these
resolutions that the local workmen
hope to receive assistance.

crime Walton, for tomorrow night at

ises to be an interesting one.
1t will be the preliminary one OF

The League has been. urged. to ap-
point an anti-noise committee, whose
duty would be TO endeayor to elinin-
ate the unnecessary and discordant
noises that greet the ears on all sides
in the town. Work along these lines
has been accomplished successfully

YESTERDAYS SERMON
AT CALVARY CHURCH

DR.. II. w. Burgana breached at both
services of Calvary Church yesterday
In the morning his text was from
John 17:1 "These words spake
Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to
Heaven, and said, Father" Every
thing depended on the spirit in which
Jesus used the word Father" and
the whole life of Our Lord showed
that He spoke that word in absolute
trust
1t is such trust as this that makes
us lead true, efficient lives. DR.. Bur-
gan scored the fallacy of the state
ment that "it does not matter what a
man believes. so he acts right"
Patriotism is one of the nOblest quail
ties. but the false patriotism of the
Kaiser caused the World War A mis-
guided conscience is the cause of re-
l.gious persecution. A man cannot
act right unless his beliefs are right.
Further, trust in God as the Father
of US all, inevitably produces belief
in the brotherhood of man, and a de-
sire to serve the other members of the
great human family. Science, which
sometimes seems opposed to religion,
has furthered this brotherhood. for
improved methods OF travel and COM
munication have shortened distances
and brought men closer together
The sermon closed with the story of
young college student. the nephew
of Rev. DR.. Frank Gunsaulus, of
Chicago, who was battling with the
questions: For what purpose was
born?" What is my place in life?''
One day he was in a huge public as
sembly hall when fire broke out A
terrible panic followed. The young
man was in the gallery, and suddenly
a plank fell near him. He extended it
from a window TO the window of a
nearby building. and began to help
persons across. He kept his station
until he was caught by the flames and
fatally burned A little later, when
he had been rescued from the build
ing, the dying hero quoted to his
uncle triumphantly, For this cause
came into the world"

Present plans contemplate a consid-
cradle saving of expense by closing

venting as far as possible diminution
OF the strength and efficiency of the

SCHOOL OPENS WTHAV 4
LARGE ATTENDANCE

School days, with the attendant rush
toward Green street, the acquaintance
making with (and testing OFF, new
teachers, the curious entrance of
small boys and girls TO experiences
much heard OF hut not previously felt,
the disgusted return of others who
have tried it and don't like the bdsi-
ness of leaving play just for the sake
of learning things. the extravagant
talk of difficult subjects TO be encoun-
tered this year, the issuing of books
that look hard the effort TO get the
new books OF the issue, and to avoid
those with soiled covers, the preten-
tious display of big stack OF books,
padded out with dictionary and a
thick tablet. the parting with curls,
the philosophy of fond mothers that
they just can't realize, etc.,-these
things are all here.
Today was opening day for the
schools of Maryland. From the groups
of school children headed toward their
first assembly for the year ii might
have been supposed that it was par
ticularly the opening day in Annapo-
lis more than elsewhere
Reports from Annapolis High School
indicate that the enrolment there
will probably be larger than last year.
Ninety students were admitted from
the Grammar School without condi-
ton. while al entered with slight
strings attached to their promotion.
Thirty-two other students were ad-
mitted from county schools, making
the total 16S new students. This. less
the fifty students graduated last June,
appears to swell the enrolment of
the present term to 11S more students
than attended the High School last
year.

STARTS FOR HOSPITAL
BUT FAILS To ARRIVE
Friends Ask Vainly For Condi-
ton Of Accident
Victim

Just what happened TO a patient
who started TO Emergency Hospital
yesterday after being injured by an
automobile, but who failed TO arrive
although friends were waiting there
for him, has not yet been determined
by the hospital authorities. Even the
name of the prospective patient was
not learned at the hospital. though the
Office there was informed that man
had been run over by an automobile
at Pendennis Mount and was. coming
in right away The hospital is al
ways prepared for accident cases to
come in without warning, especially
on Sundays during the automobile sea
son. and no special preparation was
necessary for the receiving of the her
aided victim.
A few minutes after the first notice
that patient was coming friend ar
rived and asked for the condition o:
the victim. Then another friend called
and the hospital was questioned by
telephone. All inquirers were inform
ed that the patient had not yet ar
rived.
Now, to go back TO the last point
at which the patient" was seen; w.
II. Farrell, of Odenton, drove his Ford
car into the sand at one side of the
road near Pendennis Mount and park
ed there for some slime while men,
hers of the party enjoyed the water
and beach. Then when the time to
leave arrived Farrell experienced
some difficulty in pulling out of the
sand. AT last, with a super-Ford
burst of power the machine shot
ahead, without giving the driver suffi-
cient time to recover from his sur
prise before it had struck a pedes-
trian. man. who was standing in
the road directly ahead of it, The
man was knocked down and the Ford
passed completely over him. He was
assisted TO his feet and started i'm
for the hospital before any
body had an opportunity to question
VII Ills way " lOW ii,
the patient decided that his injuries
might not be so serious as the shock,
and chose home treatment.
AS soon as Farrell had subdued his
machine and brought it to a stop he
was interviewed by one OF the State
police stationed to guard traffic over
the bridge, and was told the time and
place at which he might make an
of the event.
1t was stated by people who said
they had seen Farrell driving the car
before the accident that he was evil
IDENTIFY inexperienced in handling the
machine, and that he had struck an
other car before he ran over the man.
With the failure of the victim of
this accident to arrive, the hospital
yesterday experienced one of its few
Sundays during the summer when no
accident case has been admitted.
