Mayor Howard w. Jackson fin
lily announced his stand in the
Senatorial fight between Senator
Radcliffe and Mr. Howard Bruce,
thereby enabling any number of
people. who had been waiting on
enterhOOks to catch up on sleep.
The Radcliffe organiza ton is jubi-
land. The blues around the
Bruce headquarters are so thick
you could cut them with a knife.
The Rowing Reporter had an
idea that Mayor Jackson would
support Mr. Bruce. More than
half of the Jackson lieutenants
previously had announced for Mr..
Bruce - and if a leaders follow

However. this column had it
wrong. and now the Rowing Re-

In Salisbury, the home town of

was surprised to find the anti

the State there is a sharp resent

pearance at a reception in Balti-

A curious reaction from the la
dies present was that Mr.. McNutt
was in no way as good-looking as
his pictures have left one to be-
lieve.
With the exception Of Senator
Radcliffe. Governor O'COnor,
State Comptroller Millard Tawes
and one Or two others who were

were local Baltimore City pre-

Mr. McNutt must have been
greatly impressed by what he
thought were the States leading

This was incorrect. Senator Rad

guished looking Commissioner is
III hot water with the Governor,
and all on account Of a piece Of
tin with number on it, better
known as your license plate. 1t
so happens that this piece of tin
involved had a very special num-
Der on it $4,000, to be exact
Here's the story:
For twenty-three years DR..
Charles Conley, Of Frederick, for
mer candidate for Governor, and
brother-in-law of the former Com
missioner OF Motor Vehicles, E.
Austin Baughman, had been get
ting that number. $4,000, for one
OF his cars. Even during the adj
ADMINISTRATION of the Republicans,
Dr. COnleY always received this
same number.
Came time this year for the auto
license plates to go out, Commits
sioner Elgin decided that $4,000
vas a Baltimore City number and
should. accordingly, go to a Balti-
MORGAN. What Dr.. COnley must
have thought when the number he
has been getting for SO many
years failed to arrive and he re-
cejyed. as did your Rowing RepOr-
ter, just one of the ordinary num-
berS. no one knows but the Doc
tor! Even though the Doctor said
nothing about it, he must have
been little hurt, for anyone who
had been getting the same number
for as many years would have de-
Yeloped some sentiment about it.
However the matter did not
stop there. AS far as the Doctor
was concerned, he was not going
to do anything about it, even
though all he had to do was to
pick up his phone, and, no doubt,
he Governor or Mr. Elgin would
have Strengthened out the matter
at once But there was someone
who did violently object to losing
that number and that was their
c0l0red chauffeur He was proud
OF that number and made no
bones about how upset he was
when he heard they had lost it.
1t didn't take long for the news to
get around Frederick and before
long Head Man No. l of the
,ric
Secretary OF State, heard about it.
He Immediately got in touch with
the governor, who, when he heard
the news was furious and called
Mr. Elgin for an explanation. The
10000 had already been issued
and there was little to be done
about it Nevertheless, the Cover
nor let Mr.. Elgin know what he
thought OF the error and imme-
diately ordered Mr.. Elgin to then
give the Doctor the next best
number he had. DR.. Conley re-
ceived an apology from the Cover
nor through the mail and assur-
ance that he would get back his
old number next year and every
year as long as he was Governor
Poor Mr.. Elgin must realize by
now that one doesn't get a gravy
job like his without little bump
mixed in for flavoring. AS an APP
pOintee OF an infallible Governor
he is finding out that if he does
well, the Governor receives con-
gratulations; and if any action of
his is widely criticized, the Cover
nor knew nothing about it in ad-
vance,

The U.S.S. Charleston, under
the command of Captain Glass,
was sent to the Pacific to prey
upon Spanish shipping. Reach
ing the Island of Guam he
found a pigmy fortress flying
the Spanish flag and fired three
shots at it. Then sailing into
the harbor he mustered his
crew TO charge the fort, but no
sooner had he anchored when
a small boat flying a Spanish
flag with an officer in full uni
form came alongside.

ter introducing himself, 1--WE

Glass in amazement. What sa-
lute?"

you passed the fort, but our sa-
luting battery is out of order,

wering until later in the day."
why, my dear sir" exclaimed
Captain Glass in establishment,
"is it possible that you don't
know that a war exists between
our countries? 1 fired shells at
your fort and am here to de-
mand its surrender
The officer hadn't heard that
his country was at war, but he
surrendered. Captain Glass later
exclaimed that he was uneasy
all the time about the poor
Workmanship of his gunner.
Women at Sea
Women were carried on many
British men-of-war until after
the beginning of the nineteenth
century. There is record of Mary
Ann Talbot, who received a
pension of 20 pounds a year
"for wounds received in action
when she was before the mast
in the navy" Rebecca Anne
Johnson served on a Whitby
collier for seven years when in
1908 her sex was discovered. It
is said that her mother served
at sea and fell at the battle
of Copenhagen as a member of
a guns crew.
The marriage of two sailors
as reported in a London jour-
nal is of interest.
AT st. DunStane'S in the East
in May, 1902, David Jones was
married to Anne Robinson. They
had been old shipmates on
