four men were judged guilty of mur
der as a result of the killing of the
engineer auU fireman-of the wrecked
train. ,
The police suspect that a quantity of
dynamite has been obtained and are

MIDDIES HAVE
SKIPS AND DET

Disembarked From Vessels Of
Cruising Squadron Early This:
Morning And Then Followed i
Rush For Trolleys To StartJ
Them On Their Way
HEALTH UNUSUALLY
GOOD DURING TRIP
Midshipmen of the first, second and
third classes, about 1,780 in ail, dis
embarked early this morning from the
ships of the summer practice squad
ron, following nearly three months’
cruising at sea, and immediately be
gan to depart from the city on their
annual 30 days’ vacation. By nightfall
practically all of them will have start
ed overland, destined for their homes
in every State of the Union. The
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railways operated several
special trains to accommodate the
throng, so eager were the embryo offi
cers to take advantage of every hour
of their vacation period.
Health Of Students Good
The cruising ships returned to local
waters yesterday morning and all ar
rangements were made during the day
for disembarkation of the students
soon after daybreak today. This was
accomplished in short order, and with
out mishap. The boys were brought
ashore in sub-chasers and other small
craft attached to the local naval sta
tion. The cruise is reported to have
been an extremely pleasant one, but
without special incident. The health
of the middies was especially good,
there being but few cases of sickness
during the entire time and those were
of a minor order. A number of stud
ents, it is reported, ran afoul of naval
regulations while visiting at ports
such as the Canal Zone, Guantanamo
and Halifax. N. S., and these are
slated for disciplinary action by the
academy authorities.

Close Capital-Labor Breach
(By The Associated Press.)
CHICAGO. Aur. 31.—To close for-!
N ever “the widening breach between
! capital and lalor” is the main purpose
of the Society of American Common
wealth, which recently received its
charter as a corporation under the
laws of Illinois for the purpose of for- ;
mulating an organization throughout,
the United States.
“Our work is such that we cannot
admit to our membership those who j
j belong to labor unions or those known i
as the capitalistic class employing
labor,” states a booklet issued by the
society, in which its principles are !
outlined. “We do this that we may te
able freely and boldly to hold the
scales between them.” *
Men and women of American citi
; zenship and eighteen years or more in
age are eligible to membership. The
society is not incorporated for profit.
“This society is an outgrowth of the
numerous strikes that have beset fhis
country and which be believe are
fraught with grave peril to the na
tion,” said Marvin V. Hinshaw, foun
y der and Supreme Commoner.

: FROM nTO 34 PERCENT,
UNION OFFICIAL SAYS

(Hjr The AiiHoclatrd Pres*.)
( j CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—Pursuing the
t efforts of the United Brotherhood of
( Maintenance of Way employees and
1 ' railroad shop laborers’ union tc. hast
’ | its pleas for increased minimum wages
’ on a “living wage’’ scale, W- J- Lauck.
! union statistician, toddy ’ before- the
Railroad Labor Board, testbed that
what he termed the living wage if es
s tahlished in all branches of‘American
’ industry, would mean an .in
wages of from 22 to 34 percent.
The lowest range, or 22 percent, in
crease, Mr. Lauck said, would only
raise to an annual wage of $1,600
those workers now receiving less
' than that sum, on the basis of an ag
gregate wage budget in industry ol
$33,000,000,000 in 1918.
“The object is to awaken the great
masses to dangers we are facing be
cause of wasteful, useless, havoc
making strikes, such as the coal
strike, rail strike, the recent car
strike in Chicago and many other
i forms of industrial, warfare through
jout the country.
“Through all these ordeals the pub
j lie, bearing the brunt of the burden,
has gone on watchfully waiting with
a saint-like patience. This is not a
call to arms nor the views of alarm-
I Ists. We believe it is high time that
the public so organize that its senti

so effective that these useless indus

By Authorities And Visions Of
Parties To Be Held Ashore
Go A-Glimmering
SEARCH FOR SAXAPHONE
LED TO DISCOVERY
Visions entertained by many mid
shipmen of happ> parties, with liquid
refreshments of the “hard” sort, flow
ing freely, once they got ashore and
homeward bound, were nipped in the
bud yesterday upon the return of the
practice cruise squadron to Annapolis.
Sad tales of how choice selections
of the "cup that cheers" were contls
cated and destroyed in the waters olf
Annapolis, were imparted hy many of
the toys to their friends in the city
when they cantc . shore from the ships
this morning.
Stories as to the quantity of "wet
goods" which the embryo naval offi
cers had stored away in their lockers,
or laundry bags, or some other recep
tacles, vary, but according to some of
them, several hundred quarts of
champagne and other wines aud whis
. kies, made up tie contraband. Tim

have been the "booze” ship of the

waters, touching at Martinique in the

were purchased at pre-war priceu or
1 better.
Hunt For Saxophone, Jinx
Whether the middies would have
1 been able to get their "private stock"
* ashore remains an open question, but
J it develops, according to stories going
the rounds, that the Jazzy musical in
strument, known as the saxaphonc,
‘jazzed” its way to a haunt, anA
led to the undoing of things. It is said
that-a “Saxy” belonging to a member
I >f the Delaware's band was among
J hlngs missin; when the ships came to
inehor In Annapolis Roads early yes
terday morning, and officers of the big
f dreadnaught directed that a search be
made for it. The search was not far
i inder way, so it is said, before pack-
I lges containing one or more quart
' Kittles of the "hard stuff" were come
r pon. Then the ship’s commander.
" t is sail, ordered that a complete
icarch be made of the ve3scl to gather
* in all "wet goods.”
The “booze” was found in varying
quantities here and there, so it is said,
but whether or not the saxaphone was
sver recovered has not been disclosed.
Some of the students are said to have
had the liquors out in the open, on
tables, etc., while others had it safely
tucked away. They did not hesitate
to surrender what they had, as the
search went on. One middie, in par
ticular, told a doleful story of his ex
perience. He said that he and his
chum had a total of about 17 ojiarts ;
*f wines “laying by,” only to jitfv.; it i
luickly taken away.
Customs Officers Snoop About
. Enter now the custom officials from
Baltimore, making their annual pil
i grimage to Annapolis to make the
, usual inspections and levy customs
duty on foreign goods, or confiscate
j contraband as the case might be. They,
too, did a good bit of snooping about
aboard ship and about 28 quarts of
' liquor came into their possession,
i They promptly destroyed the liquids
by breaking one bottle against the
I other over the sides of the Delaware.
