CONGRESS AROUSED BECAUSE
OF FEE FOR SERVICE GAMES
Bill Offered BY Representative McGegor Of New York. Would
Prohibit Admission To Annual Football Contest-With-
drawal Of Free Tickets Brings Action

Decision OF the Navy Athletic As
sociation at the Naval Academy, to
charge members of Congress and
others for tickets of admission to the
football games played by the academy
team caused Representative Clarence
Macgregor. of New York, to offer a
bill forbidding "any midshipman or
cadet to engage in any athletic game
or contest where an admission fee is
charged" says the Baltimore Sun.
The Macgregor bill was offered
after the New York member had re-
ceived a form letter from Admiral
Washington, chief of the Bureau OF
Navigation, advising all members OF
Congress that hereafter they would
have to pay to attend the army and
navy football contests. Heretofore
members CT Congress have had free
tickets to these games, the ordinary
allowance being two tickets to mem.
Der, with special consideration shown
at times to members of the Nava
Affairs Committees of the House and
I
Senate.
Would Prevent ~Commercializing'
Representative Macgregor is sure
his bill will meet with sympathetic
response from members who do nc
think the navy and army game!
should be "commercialized."
A copy of Admiral Washington
letter shows that the Navy Depart
ment assumes no responsibility in tn,
matter. but is carrying out the man
date of the Navy Athletic Associa
tion tatooing deadhead tickets.
In a statement Representative Mac
gregor said:
MY attention is called to the grow
/ ing spirit of commercialism in tn

Murder Charge
Against Jenkins
Girl Dismissed

Emphatically denying any knowl-
edge of an alleged confession OF the
murder of Michael Cadora. killed at
the Belle Grove Inn. upper Anne
Arundel county, on July 16 last
Mabel Jenkins, 10 years old. also said
to be known as Mary Bigby, took the
stand in her own behalf at hearing
before Police Justice William S. Welch
in the County Court House here this
afternoon.
Justice Welch held that evidence
against the woman was insufficient
and dismissed the case.
Furthermore, Virginia Pierce. a
former chum of the Jenkins girl who
had been working in cooperation with
Deputy Sheriff Louis Schramm, who
arrested Miss Jenkins charging her
with the murder of Cadora. also gave
conflicting statements of circum-
stances leading up to how she secured
the alleged letter of confession and
other details, compared to the State
ments made to States Attorney
James NJ. Munroe on Tuesday, and
also in interviews published in the
press.
The only other witnesses examin-
ed were Deputy Sheriff Schramm and
Miss Grace Scott, the latter of whom
is friend of both Miss Jenkins and
Miss Pierce.

Gigantic Electric TOaster

Not the least of the problems aris-
ing from the enlarged tower inclosure
was the design and erection of the an
tenna system. This system not only
must be strong enough to support its
own weight of seven tons under all
conditions of the elements, but must
be arranged for iceremoval by cleo
trically heating the wires. Were this
provision overlooked, an accumula-
ton of 100 tons of ice on the IL miles
OF antenna wire would overstress the
towers, with disastrous consequences
To prevent this contingency the an
tonna, by simple connections, is made
in effect a gigantic electric toaster
from which all ice may be melted in
a few minutes time But it takes

NORRIS ASKED To
QUIT SENATE FIGHT
Leading Democrats Feel 3-Corn.
cred Contest Would Hurt
Success In Election

In order to avoid a three-cornered
contest in the forthcoming Democratic
senatorial primary. and thereby to
still further cement a closer spirit
of harmony in the party ranks, sew
eral influential friends of State Sen
ator William /. Norris held con-
ference in Baltimore yesterday with
Senator Norris and endeavored to per-
suade the latter to withdraw from
the contest for the seat in the United
States Senate.
The conference was held in Frank
A. Furst's office, and was attended by
Governor Ritchie. Senator Norris,
Frank A. Furst, n. Charles Burke,
former member of the Court of Ap-
peals; Millard E. Tydings, candidate
for Representative from the Second
district; Walter F. Mitchell, State
Senator from Charles county; Thomas
II. Robinson, of Hartford county, for
mer State Senator; Z. Brooke Lee,
former State Comptroller, and Rob-
ert +. Ennis.
Comes As Blow To Norris
Mr.. Norris said the request came
to him as an unexpected and great
blow, but would consider it and con-
suit with his friends and reply soon,
Later, he said, it would take him sew
eral days to consult with his sup
porters in the counties and he might
not be able to make a decision be-
tore next Sunday. Meanwhile, he said
he would push his campaign as though
nothing of the sort had happened.

ADVICE FROM THE YOUNG

Billy was visiting the Woman.
Billy, whose dimpled cheeks and
golden curls made him look more
like little girl than like sturdy
boy of four. But besides the dimples
and the curls there was nothing girl
ish about Billy. He could double
up his chubby fists and fight like
man. He wasn't "afeared of snakes
and mice and SUCH" and he had as
hearty disapproyal of feminine lido
syncrasies as most men have.
Therefore he lost patience COM
pletely with the Woman, when, hav-
ing spilled something or other which
made spot on her best dress, she
kept fussing about it. The lad
watched her for moment in ST.
Ience, as with wrinkled brow she
contemplated the ugly spot. Then
lie went up to her and in his best
manner said, @Auntie,
Ion't worry wash it." Chicago

FEw sTKEs.cAR FATALITIES

According to the national safety
council, street railway Transports
ton in the largest cities of the Unit
ed States has come to rank with the
safest forms of traffic. The council
finds that street car fatalities are
gradually decreasing while automo-
bile, truck and bus accidents are on
a serious upgrade. In 1915 the
council report states, the number of
people who lost their lives by street
car accidents lin 35 American cities
with population of 7,5OO,O 900, was
$50; in 1916, 688; 1917, 1855; 1918,
1877; 1919, SIC, and 1920, 525. The
sudden drop in the last two years
is credited to safety education and
development of traffic control. Auto
motive fatalities, meanwhile, present
these totals: 1915, 1924; 1915,
1865; 1917, 2,O57; 1918, 1880;

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost certain
to be needed before the winter is over
and results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the first indica-
ton of cold appears and before it
has become settled in the system.
There is no danger in giving it to
children as it contains no opium or
other harmful drug.
