’ Saturday evening of this week the

pany will open their carnival at the

For the last few days the members
of tile company have been busy build
ing the various stands and stringing

various details so as to make the af
fair one of the most successful ever
held by the company.
This year quite an innovation has
been made Insofar as the location of
tlie various (moths are concerned, the
lancing pavilion will be located in the
center of the grounds and the stands
and booths are so arranged as to
make access to all attractions easy.
In fact, tlie arrangement looks not
unlike a midway. The dancing pa
vilion in former years wus located
mst outside of the grounds, between
the park and the market house, but it
is expected that the new arrangement
will be far more satisfactory to all.
Committees Hard At Work
Both the ladies' committee and the
members of the company have been
working faithfully to assure the pat

REMITS JAIL
SENTENCE IN
CASE | HOWE
Governor Ritchie Issues State
ment In Granting Parole To
Annapolis Man Convicted Of
Violating Liquor Laws Of City
A Year A^o
HE MUST PAY FINE
OF S6OO, HOWEVER
E. Walter Howe will not be com
pelled to serve a term of 90 daytj in
the county jail, to which he was sen
tenced for violation of the liquor laws
of Annapolis. He will, however, be
compelled to pay the fine of s6t)u and
costs, which was included in the sen
tence imposed by Judge Robert Moss
in tlie Anne Arundel county Circuit
Court nearly a year ago.
Governor Ritchie today announced
his decision to parole Mr. Howe, after
having thoroughly investigated his
case, and at the same time announced
that the fine would stand. The case
has been hanging in the balance since
the last October term of the Circuit
Court when Howe was convicted.
Case Pending Nearly Year
The case w r as twice before the
Court of Appeals, the final mandate
;f which upheld the rulings passed
n the local Court. Ilowe began to
serve out his jail sentence on July
25, in accordance with that mandate.
Because of certain extenuating cir
cumstances and a recommendation
from Judge Moss, coupled with an in
vestigation by the State Advisory
Board of Parole, Governor Ritchie was
moved to remit the jail sentence. In
innouncing his action, the Governor
nade the following statement:
Gov. Ritchie’s Statement
“In the case of E. Walter Howe, now
nerving a ninety day sentence in the
county jail for violation of the An
napolis City Liquor Laws, and who
m addition was fmod S6OO and court
costs, I have decided to grant a pafole,
upon payment of the fine and costs.

25, last, and my decision is based upon
’.he following considerations:
“1. The Advisory Board of Parole,
after a careful investigation of the
case, recommended that the jail sen

IN HOUSEOF COMMONS
(By Tlie Amoclalrd Prem.)
LONDON, Aug. 3. —That Great
Britain has no intention of suggest
ng any alteration of her financial ob-
Ugaiion to the United States was re
emphasized in the House of Commons
today by the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer in reviewing the British posi
tion on German reparations.
“I wish to make it clear beyond all
question of misapprehension,” de
clared the Chancellor, “that we recog
nize to the full our obligation to pay
our debt to the United States, and we
io not mean in any shape or form to
evade that obligation."
Name Of “Weekly Advertiser”
Changed To “Maryland Gazette”
[ As announced in last Thursday’s issue of The Evening
Capital, the name of The Weekly Advertiser has l)een
changed to The Maryland Gazette, the change becoming ef
-1 fective today.
The Maryland Gazette, as stated in front-page and edi
torial announcements last week, was established in 1727, and
; for nearly two centuries the paper has performed signal serv
ice in the interest of city, county, state and nation,
a The present change was made possible through an
agreement with the publisher of The Evening Capital, owner
of the name and good-will of The Maryland Gazette, which
i has enabled The Gazette to be re-established as an active, virile
force in the weekly newspaper field.
Except for the change in name, the operation of Anne
? Arundel county’s weekly newspaper will be unaffected. Its
ownership, management and policies will l>e the same, and
1 he Maryland Gazette, like The Weekly Advertiser, will al
ways be found striving to maintain the highest possible stand
a ards o! efficiency and usefulness.

68—Served 20 Years At
Old Bay Ridge
Reaching the age of 68 years, more
i than half of which has been dedicated
to aiding in preserving peace and
good order in the community, is the
record in the life of Patrolman James
E. Lowman. veteran of the city police
force. Today is the natal anniversary
of Mr. Lowman and lie is spending it
by regular attendance to duties as day
J patrolman. He has received warm
congratulations from many friends in
course of the day.
While speaking passingly, of the
fact that he is approaching the three
score and ten mark in life’s journey.
Patrolman Lowman said he does not
feci a day oldre than when he was
forty. And his looks scarcely betoken
It, either. Furthermore he appears
as spry as one much younger in years.
At Old Bay Ridge 20 Years
In the earlier years of his life, Mr.
Lowman was a waterman, and he not
infrequently takes to that form of rec
reation and pastime, even now espe
cially when he is off duty. Patrolman
Lowman first took to police activities
when the old Bay Ridge summer re
sort, was established south of An
napolis forty years ago, and he did
patrol duty there throughout the en
tire period that the resort remained
opened. Recalling the best days of
the once famous resort, Mr. Lowman
referred to the thousands of persons
who gathered there on special occas
ions. At one time there were as many
as 21 police officers and one detective
employed there. Patrolman Lowman
has the distinction of being the last
officer to perform service at the re
sort. That was a score of years ago,

on balls, was responsible for tw<
runs for the Rescues. In the seventh

clean hit. Houston also got a single,
Seipp going to third. Bunstcn stole

ners in with a single. Jetner w r as
passed but the next three batters were
easy outs, ending the game.
