ing last night, following the hearing
on the traffic ordinance, adopted al
minute upon the. death o

Be it resolved by the Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of Annapo-
lis, that.
Whereas, An All-Wise Provi-
dence has seen tit to remove from
our midst our friend and fellow
citizen. DR.. Elihu S. Riley. the
Annapolis historian, author of
many books, and former City
Counselor, father of our present
City Counselor, We do hereby rec
ord, with sorrow, THIS our tribute
to his memory.
And, Whereas, BY reason of our
association with him as a most
highly esteemed and venerable
citizen, we have learned to honor
and venerate his many fine quail
ties of heart and mind. his loyal
citizenship, his remarkable men
tai attainments We feel that in
the death of DR.. Elihu s. Riley
Annapolis has lost a most dis
tinguished citizen, one who made
this city famous, and one whose
graphic pen did much to bring to
The Ancient City" that he loved
so well, that attention and adj
miration of the outside world that
won for this city most deserved
publicity and encomium
And. Whereas. By his death,
Annapolis has lost a scholar of
rare attainments, and a Christian
gentleman of the "Old School,"
the frail casket of whose body
was unable to sustain the mighty
jewel it contained;
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That
we, the Mayor and Aldermen of
Annapolis, in council assembled,
do herewith, not merely offer our
sincere sympathy to his bereaved
family. but join them in their
grief. And be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes, and the Clerk directed to

NAVY OARSMEN WORK
IN PLACID WATERS
Of COLLEGE CREEK

Nine Naval Academy crews were on
the water yesterday afternoon, the
rowing being confined to College
Creek on account OF the unfavorable
weather. The small creek was nearly
filled with the shells and launches,
the latter under the charge of the
Glendons Gather and SOM and En-
sign Graves. captain of the 1920 crew,
who is assisting with the coaching.
The crews are gradually working
into form, there being no necessity of
driving the oarsmen, the first race
against Massachusetts Tech being on
April 90. The first big effort will be
developed on May s, when the Navy
rows Princeton and Harvard at Cam
bridge.
In view Of the defeat by Princeton
last year, the great objective of the
naval rowing season will be to turn
the tables on the Tigers. With seven
of the oarsmen who rowed in the vic
torious Poughkeepsie crew last year,
the Naval Academy has a prospect of
a wonderful aggregation this year.
Higgins, who rowed two years on the
second crew, was chosen 10 fill the
vacancy going to No. 2. while Bolles
was moved to No. 4, vacated by Moore.
Higgins has fitted in with the others,
and Glendon has not found it neces-
sary 10 make further experiments

MISTOOK PISTOL FOR

George Dull, % years old. we'll
known about Annapolis and the coun-
~. is in a serious condition at the
Emergency Hospital He is suffering
from a .32-calibre bullet wound in the
neck, the result of an accidental and
unfortunate shooting while automo-
bile riding with Miss Mary Adams.
17-year-old city high school student
about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
His condition. however, is not thought
TO present an element OF danger, at
tending physicians state.
II had been arranged 10 operate
and probe for the bullet this morn
ing, but surgeons decided to defer
this for the time, as the general con-
dition of the patient was more on
couraging than il was when he was
removed to the hospital last night
Injured Man Says Accident
Dull has discussed the matter very
little since he has been in the hos
pital. and physicians have advised
him TO refrain from talking as much
as possible, because his neck is badly
swollen and this would only aggra-
vate his condition.
However, he has persistenty assert
ed that his wound is entirely the re-
suit OF an accidental shot State
ments to this effect were made to
physicians and hospital attendants,
and also TO Patrolman William Curry
and other members of the city police
force. who visited him at the insti-
| tuition last night or today.
Dull, according TO the story OF the
occurrence. had started out with
Miss Adams, and another young girl
companion. whose name has not been
revealed for an automobile ride in
his machine. He stopped the car on
| Cathedral street, near the intersec-
ton OF Conduit street, presumably
! because of some engine trouble. Dull,
| it is said, called TO Miss Adams to
hand him an electric torch which was
either in his coat pocket or the pocket
on one of the doors of the car. Miss
| Adams, according TO the story, reach
ed for the instrument, but instead un-
knowingly grabbed up .32-calibre
revolver The weapon was discharg-
ed as she started to hand IL over to
Dull The shot was at close range.
Dull, with blood flowing freely from
the wound in the neck was hurried
to the hospital Temporary attention
was given him, and afterwards he be-
came a patient OF Dr. Walton H. Hop
kins. He spent a rather restless
night, it was stated at. the hospital,
hut this morning there was mark
ed improvement in his condition.
Miss Adams, as stated, is high
school student and during off hours
from school, she is employed in a
local dry goods store. She has de-
clined to make any direct statement
concerning the affair, and so has her
mother The statement by Dull that
the shooting was accidental seems to
Re generally accepted Police off,
cials have made no investigation OF
the affair, other than to secure a
statement from the injured man at
