TRAIN DUE To WRECKERS

Derailment of the Southern Railway
Royal Palm Limited, northbound for
Cincinnati, just outside the railroad
yards here last night, resulted from
the activities of wreckers. local ofii-
cials of the Southern declared.
Several cars of the train left the
rails, but remained upright. No one
was injured.
Railroad officials said a switch lock
apparently had been severad with a
hack saw. The switch was set in such
a manner. they said, that a train pass
ing over it would jar its point open
accounting for the fact that the en-
gine and mail car passed safely over
while half-dozen cars following in
their wake were derailed.
The supervisor of tracks personally
inspected the switch at 7:30 D. m. and
found it in perfect condition, it was
said. The derailment occurred at
$40 O'Clock.

WORTHLESS LOTS
BRING. 6 CHECK
FOR OVER 1000

Among the receipts at last week S
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners was check for S2,O04
from the United States District Court
in Baltimore, representing the pay
ment to the county of that much
money for certain lots of ground own
ed by it in the development formerly
known as "Respess City," and later
within the Camp Meade reservation.
Upwards of ten years ago his land,
which had been assessed by the acre,
was divided into lots by Richard Res
pess and others and sold off to yari-
Gus individuals, mostly foreigners
The county thereupon changed the as
sessment to the lot basis. The lots
turned out to be practically worth
less. and the individual owners hav-
ing defaulted in the payment of taxes.
they were sold at public sale and the
county was forced to buy them in,
since which time they have continued

development came along. Conden-
nation proceedings were necessary.
and these were instituted in the
United States Court in Baltimore
about two years ago. The County
Commissioners, through their counsel
at that time, took part in some two
hundred and forty cases. and the net
result of the proceedings is shown by
the check of s2,OO4 just received.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Sept. g.
What promises to be the largest ma
jority ever given a candidate at an
election in Wisconsin was being rolled
up today by Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette as a candidate for the Re.
publican nomination as Senator.
With well over half of the precincts
in the state heard from, indications
were that La Follette's majority would
be more than 10000 over w. A. Gan
field in his contest for the Republican
senatorial nomination.
The principal points upon which
La Toilette based his claims for re-
nomination to the Senate were
Opposition to the Esch- -Cummins
act, the four-power treaty and New
berry and his record on the war. HI

LABOR DAY TOURNEY
AT ST. MARGARETS
knights Charge In Honor OF
Ladies Fair, AS In
Olden Days
THRONG OF SPECTATORS

The largest crowd that has ever
gathered at st. Margaret's witnessed
the Labor Day tournament, which was
held on the property of former Sena-
tor Frank NJ. Duvall.
Tournaments have been held an
nually at st. Margarets for years, but
this season there has been such re-
yiyal OF interest in the ancient sport
throughout the whole state that more
than the usual enthusiasm was shown
and hundreds of people gathered to
see the knights tilt in honor of their
fair ladies'.
The charge to the fifteen knights
was made by Mr. Webster, of Balti-
more. Davidsonville was the section
)f the county most largely represented
in the ring. eight OF the riders being
from that district
First honors in the professional
class, knights who have taken nine
rings or more in various tournaments
went to Ben Hodges and second and
third were taken by Edward and Ben
Duckett, respectively, all three of Da-
vidsonville.
In the amateur class Charles Du-
vail took first honors, and being a
married man gallantly gave Charles
Ridout the honor of presenting the
crown he had won to some fair dam
sci. Mr.. Ridout chose Miss Marian
Parlett, of Howard county, for his
queen. Oliver Brice was also a win
ner in the amateur class.
The heavy thunderstorm that came
up in the late afternoon, discouraged
the Annapolis Elks' ball team which
did not put in an appearance, so the
game played was a spontaneous affair
between a married mems and single
mems toam got UP on the spur of the
moment.
The supper served by the ladies in
the Community Hall was highly sue
cessful affair, both socially and finan-
cially. The proceeds will go for the
hall. During supper Judge Robert NJ.
Moss made brief address to the win
ming knights

WOMAN CLAIMS TO
HAVE SEEN BANDIT

over whom hangs the $4,000 OF head
money offered since the murder OF
William B. Norris. led toward Anna
polls again today. according to the
Baltimore police tips, and II Is be
ieved now that there may be some
truth in these reports.
Information from Baltimore this
morning was that the Annapolis po-
lice had been asked to be particularly
watchful. since 1t was thought that
Socolow had come here, or might
come here today. At the local police
station. however. il was stated that no
special request had been made at any
time since the murder occurred. and
that in spite of the reports that have
sprung up and been circulated to the
effect that the gangster is in this To-
cality, no word has come from the
Baltimore police. The only communi-
cation received here officially. 30 far
as is known. is a copy of the circular
mailed out by the Baltimroe city de-
tective headquarters.

in the pursuit of a motor car by a
