COLORED MAN SHOT
IN FRACAS IN ACTON
LANELAST NIGHT
T here was trouble among a number
of the colored race living in Acton
l Lane, western section of the cijy, In
i the early hours of this morning, and
. a Walter Haiste is a patient
at Emergency Hospital, suffering
from a bullet wound In the back,
while Sarah Turner, a negress,
j charged with the shooting, has been
held under hail of *SOO for the action
of the county grand jury at the com
. ing October term of the Circuit Court.
Haiste. who, it is said, is a
quarrelsome character, is alleged to
have been creating considerable dis
order in Acton lame recently. Long
after last midnight, he is said to have
alarmed the residents of the Turner
house by throwing brick bats through
the window and refusing to leave
when ordered to do so. Three
shots rang out over the air, one of
which struck Haiste. Finally, Patrol
man William Fine happened on the
scene. He found Haiste lying In the
street in a pool of blood. He Immedi
ately had him removed to the hos
' pital. Afterwards he placed the
Turner woman under arrest and she
| was taken to the police station. The
, woman is said to have admitted to
! Patrolman Fine that she shot Haiste.
but later denied it. At any rate, it
appears that the shooting was in self
defense, and that is the charge that
but later denied it. A hearing was
bad before Police Justice William S.
Welch this morning, who held the wo
man under security as stated above.
Relatives of the woman furnished
bail.

;BIE JERSEY BULL
TUBUS OH FIRMER
Orlando Ridout, Jr., Viciously
Attacked In Stable On His
Farm Friday
Attacked by an infuriated bull in
the stable on his farm Friday after
noon, Orlando Ridout, Jr., of near St.
Margaret's, this county, narrowly es
caped serious, and perhaps fatal, in
juries. The young man probably
would have been gored to death, but
for the fact that the maddened animal
had only stub horns, they having been
cut about three years ago.
Mr. Ridout is able to be about to
day, although badly bruised about the
body. He says the most serious hurt
appears to be about the left side and
he has planned to go to Emergency
Hospital today for a thorough exami
nation. Discussing his experience
this morning, Mr. Ridout said the
bull, which is a Jersey, 5 years old,
had been regarded as rather tame.
The animal suddenly became mad
dened as Mr. Ridout went into the
stable, hit him with great force and
knocked him down. Mr. Ridout says
he managed to scramble to his feet,
only to be knocked down again. Six
times he was thus knocked down in
his efforts to subdue the infuriated
animal. Finally, he says, he swung
to the ring in its nose, and in this
manner got control of him. Mr. Rid
out was almost exhausted after his
fight with the animal.

TECHNiLSor
Will CAUSE COUNTY
TO SEEE BONDS AGAIN
Because of an error in the adver
tising of the issue of $400,000 of
Anne Arundel county bonds, purchase
of which was made by the firm of
Alexander Brown and Sons, of Balti
more, the Board of County Commis
sioners will be called upon to re-ad
vert ise the sale, and provision for this
probably will be made at the weekly
meeting of those officials here tomor
row-.
The law authorizing the bond issue
directed that the sale should be pub
lished twice a week for four weeks in
a newspaper published in Annapolis
and one newspaper published in Bal
timore city. The advertisement ap
peared in the Evening Capital the
requisite number of times but through
an inadvertence, it was only published
in the Baltimore Sun six times, Instead
of eight. Brown and Sons, through
their attorneys, have declined to ac
cept the bonds because of this techni
cality, and have so notified the Board
of Commissioners.

HOLD ANNUAL MEET
ON FIELD AND TRACK
As a result of the semi-finals, which
were held Wednesday of last week,
the boxers of the Second and Third
Battalions of the new class of mid
shipmen will contend for Alnal honors
this week. The Second won in over
whelming fashion from the Fourth,
while the First had a somewhat less
decisive victory over the Third.
Midshipman William G. Allen, of
the Second Battalion, did some very
brilliant work in the 125-pound class
against K. P. Howard, of the Fourth,
and it is believed that he will prove
one of the Navy’s best boxers at the
weight. E. G. Collins, First, and C. L.
Livdahl, Third, had a particularly
hard battle in the 115-pound class,
the former winning through superior
cleverness.
A big surprise was the defeat of J.
W. Brown, captain of the First Bat-

ODD FELLOWS DOWNED
IN THRILLING BATTLE
Fourth Game Of “Twilight Base
ball League” Captured
By Marines
FINAL COUNT WAS 5 TO 4
History again was brought to the
' minds of baseball fans yesterday in
the game between the Odd Fellows
and Marines in the second round of
games in the ‘'Twilight League.” The
Marines by some slow fielding and a
comedy of errors had scored three
runs in the first inning only to be
tied up by the Odd Fellows in the
second and sixth.
After the first inning Moody, for
!the Odd Fellows, was invincible.
When about the eighth inning “Sam”
Freeny. who was helping Davidson
■ ville win, heard the rumbling of the
Odd Fellows’ cannon, and like Sheri
i dan. came racing to St. Johh's Col
lege to stem the tide. One look at
the score book showed “Sam” that he
was wanted in the game, so he im
mediately took up the harden of cen
tre pasture, in the eighth inning and
came through with a hit which start
, ed a rally for the Marines and gave
. them two runs in the ninth. In the
, Odd Fellows’ half McKee got a hit,
, stole second and was brought home by
Curlott on a nice drive to right cen
. ter but was thrown out at second on
a close decision, ending the game and

HYOROPUNE TAKES
PLUNGE IH SEVERS
' Mystery Surrounds Identity Of
i Occupants Of Craft Who
Were Unhurt
{
A hydroplane, the names of the oc
cupants of which seem clothed in
mj story, came to griel in the waters
near Sherwood Forest, upper Severn
river yesterday afternoon. No one
was hurt, but loth wings of the craft
were Ladly damaged.
The flying Loat came here from Bal
timore, and is said to have been pilot
ed by Charles J. Boylan, 2813 Hamp
den avenue, that city, who had with
him a mechanician, James Stewart,
also of that city. Another report was
that the craft also contained its own
er. a Mr. Walter, an ex-service avia
tor, who owns it. At any rate, the
men in the aircraft, were in their
lathing suits, and while flying up the
river, they noted a large number of
persons in bathing at Sherwood For
est, and volplaned and finally came
down on the water near the wharf
at the resort.
It is said their intention was to
take persons on a flight at a stipu
lated price per capita, and had sought
permission of the management of the
resort to do so. While one of the men
went on this mission, the other, it is
said, did take one person for a short
flight. Finally, as the two men were
flying together, they "banked’’ the craft
When about to make a turn and one of
the wings tipped, causing tne machine
to take a nose dive. The plane was
only a few feet above the water at the
time of the accident. The damaged
craft was towed into Brewer’s creek
by two launches.
Further inqu*ry was made of resi
dents of Sherwood Forest tod&v about
the accident, but nothing could be
learned as to the identity of the
aviators.
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
HERE WANT EXTENSION
OE WORKING DAY LIMIT
Believing that they should be able
to compete on a fairer basis in point
of working days, with mechanics en
gaged In general Industrial pursuit,
government employees here are mak
ing an effort to have the Navy De
partment modify its order of nearly # a
year ago whereby they will be per
mitted to work 5% days a week, in
stead of 5, as is the present order.
In view of this a meeting of the
Associated Government Employees of
Annapolis, composed of workmen at
the Naval Academy and the Naval Ex
periment Station, has been called for
tonight at 8 o’clock in the hall of
the Odd Fellows lodge on West street.
The issue will te discussed from
•every angle, and it is not unlikely
that definite action byway of draft
ing a petition, will be taken.
The government workers point to
the hardship that devolves upon them
because of the “5 day a week plan."
which means a consequent reduction
of weekly pay. and feel that the pow
' ers that be might loosen up a bit,
now that business appears to be boom
ing. Cutting down the number of
work days for the government men
was one of the steps in line with re
trenchment of expenses. •

tion. It was said, following the
operation, that Mrs. Duvall’s condi
tion was as good as could be expected.

Keen Interest. In Sports
There was keen competition among
the athletes of the various organiza
tions for the brigade championship.
This was further accentuated because
;of the intense rivalry between the
, First and Fifth Regiments. Among
the boxers, Private Frank Weidman
! was nosed out of the 115-pound cham
pionship, having fought a four-round
draw one night, but lost the following
night on a called foul. The decision
was questioned by a majority of those
present. Private Ridgely won the
regimental honor, but lost out In tlio
finals to the Fifth Regiment.
Company "M” had the opportunity
of representing the regiment in vollev
ball, but in this, too, they were de-
