WASHINGTON LETTER
Quarter of a Billion Saved

Washington, Jan. Slew people
realize that the actual running ex-
penses of the Government have been
cut approximately 20 tie pre-war hg-
ure through the dr7suc economies Ia
stituted by the Republican Admins
tration, yet such is the fact. That
does not mean, Of course, that the
gross annual expenditures have been
reduced to the level of 1916, but, with
the elimination of the fixed charges
directly due 10 the war, the country is
almost back again to the pre-war ex-
pense rate. Interest on the public
debt. compensation for former service
men, and sinking fund appropriations
made a total Of about $1,000, 100000
OF annual charges that must be met
regardless Of the ordil. ny running ex-
penses Of the Government. Repuon-
can economy can have no effect upon
them. so that sum must be substracted
from the total Expenditures Of any year
to determine the comparative cost OF
supporting Federal activities.
Chairman Madden Of the House APP
preparations Committee predicts that
the appropriations for the next fiscal

That means that the actual operating
expenses Of the Government depart
ments and bureaus will not be greater
than 81 100000, 900 That is only
$3.50 600 900 more than was spent each
year before the war.

the increase. German competition is
making itself felt in almost every
market in the world, but perhaps more
so in the American market than any
where else. The Republican tariff bill
should ease the situation, once it be-

CHARLES STRAHORN, IA,
OF THIS CITY, WINNER
OF PRIZE BICYCLE

To Charles Strahorn, young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John s. Strahorn, of An
napolis, has fallen the honor and re-
ward of being the first boy outside of
Baltimore city to win a new $3.50
Columbia bicycle. given away by the
Baltimore American and The News in
circulation boosting campaign.
Charles, who is IA years old, is an
industrious lad and has at times been
employed at the local office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
an occupation in which the two
wheeled conveyance OF which he is
now the possessor is needful.
Charles has wanted bicycle for
some time, and when he read how the
Baltimore boys and girls were win
ming them every day he made up his
mind to get one, too. Being one of
those boys who believe in the motto
of Julius Caesar: IF you want a
thing well done, do it yourself" he
refused the aid of his father. John s.
Strahorn, lawyer of Annapolis. and
set out to get the necessary 35 sub
scriptions himself.

BENNY LEONARD IS
IN FINE FETTLE FOR
ANOTHER MILL TONIGHT

MICHIGAN CITY, IND, Aug. s.
Benny Leonard, worlds lightweight
champion, is in fine fettle on the eve
of his battle this afternoon against
Ever Hammer, aggressive Chicago
lightweight. The boxers are sched-
uled for a ten-round, no-decision
clash in Floyd Fitzsimmon's arena
here. The contest will be the fourth
for the ttleholder within the period
Of forty days. His previous oppon-
ents, in order, were Jack Britton,
worlds welterweight champion;
Rocky Kansas, Buffalo lightweight
and Lew Tender. Philadelphia's dan
gerous contender for the champion
ship. According to plans of Promo
ter Fitzsimmons, the men will crawl
through the ropes at $50, standard
time. Tho first preliminary is sched
uled for o'clock, standard time
Two six-round bouts and an eight
round contest will precede the main
attractions.

Weight llIIllL IOT lUe DOuJ. lie COU-
test has been arranged at catch
weights. The champions title will be
involved only if Hammer gets under
the 135-pound lightweight notch.
Then the Chicagoan can win the
championship only through knocking
out Leonard or on foul by the cham
pion.
The bout has aroused unusual in
terest. The hard contest Leonard en-
countered with Tender has been ac-
cepted here as improving Hammers
chances for victory. The Chicagoan
is a tireless worker on the attack
and is capable of absorbing punches.
It is expected that the bout will at
tract a larger crowd than the gath
ering which witnessed the Leonard
Kansas bout here on July 4.
Leonard has engaged in little train
ing work since arriving here early
in the week. The cut over his right
eye has prevented him from sparring.
The titleholder was in superb condi-
ton for his recent scrap with Tender
and devoted his attention to light
| gymnasium work as the only require
ment in maintaining his keen box

EIGHTY ROCK, 5 TROUT,
70 HARDHEADS, DAYS
CATCH BY ANGLERS

What is perhaps the largest catch
OF fish made by the disciples of Izaak
Walton in waters in the vicinity OF
Annapolis so far this season was that
of yesterday by a party, which in
cluded, among others, Martin H.
Smith, of "Hilsmere, South river:
Col. Julian H. Harris, also of South
river, and Benjamin c. Robinson, of
Grand Rapids. Mich.
The anglers selected as the place to
cast their lines a site near Thomas
Point Lighthouse. long regarded as
one OF the best fishing grounds in the
bay. A total OF 105 of the finny
species, of which striped bass, or rock
fish. as they are known in these parts.
predominated, were caught. The
rock is also among the gamest of fish
and, as usual, makes its appearance
in waters of the upper bay ahead of
the trout, or weak fish, which have
just begun to run. or the days catch.
so were rock, five trout, and 20 hard
heads. The latter species have become
common visitors to local waters and
have been caught in large quantities
throughout the summer.
The party attributes the success to
the Cumming" process, that is
scattering small fragments of peeler
bait, thereby attracting fish near the
boat. Shrimp were used as hook bait.
But it is the rock and trout that at
tract the greatest number of anglers
to the fishing grounds. and much sport
is promised from now until late in
September. or in fact, until the first
frost. Rock fish not only come ear
lier, but also remain later in local
waters, and often good catches are
made late in October.
