Jury Framing
Report OfBeUe
GroUe Inn Fight

What will perhaps be the last chap
roadside house in upper Anne Arun-
del county, where one man was killed
and several other men and women
were injured in pistol fight and gen.
eral brawl in the early hours of Sun
day morning. July 16, is being writ
ten this afternoon as the jury of
inquest was reconvened to frame
final report and verdict resulting
from its Investigations.
The jury of inquest. of which Police
Justice William S. Welch, of Annapo-
lis is coroner, was called to meet
again at o'clock this afternoon, by
States Attorney James NJ. Munroe.
This jury, together with an investi-
CATION conducted by Police Commits
sioner Charles D. Gather. of Balti-
more city, conducted an exhaustive in
quiry, during which nearly half a
hundred witnesses were examined
None. however, was able to throw any
light on the identity of any of the
principals, alleged to be members of
rival gangs who "shot up" the inn.
In the melee that followed, bottles
and other missiles were thrown about.
Michael Cadora was the man shot to
death, others were wounded less seri-
casly by bullets. and still others sus-
tanned injuries from bottles that were
hurled into the crowd. While some
of the witnesses admitted they had
visited the inn for a good time" on
several occasions, all professed they
do not know any of the gunner. 1t
appears therefore, that solution of the
affair, will remain a mystery.

COMPANY M" BOYS
ENJOY CAMP LIFE.
Annapolitans Quickly Grasp Idea
Of Discipline And Eager
To Be Soldiers

EDGEWCoD. ND. July 81 (Spe-
cial)-Just one week in camp and
the boys OF Company M" look like
seasoned veterans of the military
game, tanned, snappy and ever ready
to do. They have quickly grasped the
idea 'of discipline. and because of
their, willingness and cagerness to
learn the business of Uncle Sans
Army they have become something of
favorites about the camp. Even the
boys of the Fifth Regiment know
there is plenty OF pep" in that Com
pany m" from Annapolis.
The boys hear that well known old
tune of Cant get 'em up in the morn
ing every year at 5:15 a. m. From
that time until noon they work Work
is the proper word to use instead of
driH, as Company M is composed
OF machine gunners. In the after
noon until $3.50 the boys engage in
various athletic games. Company
MS" baseball team has beon elimi-
mated in the race for regimental
championship, but their volley ball
team is at the top of the list and will
represent the regiment in the brigade
championship series which starts to-
day, playing the first game with the
10th Medical Regiment The boys are
confident of bringing tack the silver
loving cup which is the prize for the
winner. For practice they played and
defeated the Officers of the Third Bat
taliCn yesterday afternoon. This
week will be the busy week Gen
eral Pershing and other officers of the
General Staff will visit the camp on
Wednesday. Thursday is Governors s
day, and that promises to be the day
of demonstrations and ceremonies.
The boys say the "chow" is good,
and that everybody is well and happy.
They are all sorry that there is but
one weok of camp left. They are GO
ing after recruits when they return,
because it is pleasure to belong to
an organization like Company M"

ROUTS LONE STARS
OF BALTIC. IN Z GAMES

Annapolis Athletic Club baseball
team moved further towards captur-
ing the State amateur championship
yesterday by defeating the nine Of the
Lone Star Athletic Club, of Baltimore,
in a double header on the West An
napolis diamond. The scores were 16
to 6, and 5 to 2.
Sweeney and Seips did the mound
work for the local boys. Both were
in fine form and held the enemy to a
small . collection of hits, most of
which came in scattered quantities.
On the other hand, the Annapolitans
slammed the sphere hard, especially
in. the opening encounter when they
piled up 16 runs.
The A. A. c. is rated among the
strongest of strictly amateur aggre-
cations. in the State, but apparently
is not receiving the support deserved
This is indicated by the attendance al
the games. Hope is expressed thai
local fans will manifest greater in
