ORGANIZATION FORCES SOLID FOR MCE Democratic Senatorial Aspirant Receiving Strongest Backing Given By State Leaders In Years—Both Smith And Lee Wings Of Party Behind Him HIS SUPPORTERS ARE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY The Democratic Senatorial fight ban •titered Its last two days of active fighting. with the lines drawn between William Cabell llruce, David J. Lewis and William I. Norris with unusual clarity. Mr. Bruce perhaps, has the fliort solid organization support Blnce the days before lllalr laje fought Arthur P. Gorman for the Gubernatorial nom ination in 1911. In this fight Mr. llruce Is supported by virtually the whole of the Smith State organization, headed by former Putted States Senator John Waltei Smith; by the la>e organization, head ed by E Itrooke Lee, which is the pos terity of the old “progressive" organi zation built up by Mr la-e’n father former U. 8 Senator lllalr Lee. and by the united organization forces ir Baltimore city. In a general way, the opposition to Mr. llruce is divided ulong geog raphical lines. As the politicians see the situation, the real opposition to him in ilaltlmoro city is from Mr. Nor ris; and the real opposition in the counties is from Mr. Lewis. Mr. Nor ris apparently has made little actual ly organized effort in the counties, und Mr. Lewis lias made virtually none In Baltimore city. Norris “Tilting At Windmills” Mr. Norris Is favored by many ol the extreme wets. He has declared for repeal of the prohibition amend ment and of the Volstead act. Hold ing tli.it position, he has been givei the Indorsement of the Association Op posed to Prohibition and the benefit of an Intensive campaign of propa ganda carried on by the association Thousands of circulars have been sent out, It is said, and much personal mis sionary work Is being done in his be half. Against that work, organization forces supporting Mr. llruce are mak ing the argument that what Mr. Nor ris proposes is futile, that ho is "tilt ing ut windmills." Jt is impossible they are arguing, to repeal the Pro hibition amendment because favorabl* action of 36 of the 48 States would b necessary to do it. The point is made that many more than 12 States have had State prohi bition so long and are so unnffectet’ by tiic light against prohibition that there is not the barest chance tin number standing out for the amend meat could be held down to the doz en necessary to accomplish its repeal For the same reason, the llruce sup porters are contending, absolute re peal of the present enforcing machin ery is impossible. The large numhci of outright prohibition States hat enough members 1n the House of Rep resentatives to prevent a repeal meas ure passing. Bruce's Position “Practical** Therefore, as the organliatioi forces argue, the position of Mr. Bruci in favor of light wines and beer is the practical position, sirsa It can 1c accomplished by modification of tin existing enforcement laws and there <tt ut chance of bringing members o Congress from prohibition States to agree to modification, where as there is no chance of getting them to agree to absolute repeal. The Smith and Lee forces, handling Mr. Bruce's tight in the counties, an putting up no organized tight agains Mr Lewis in Garrrett, Allegany am Washington counties, and they realist they can take no chances in Frederick and Montgomery counties. These five counties constitute Mr Lewis' old Congressional district, .r Republican stronghold in which ht defeated the Republicans three times consecutively.' In the first three ol the counties the only chance agains Mr. Lewis seems to be that Mr. Nor ris might capture Allegany in a we' upheaval. There is an organized wet movement in that county. The Lewis people say, however, no one can carr> it against Mr. Lewis. It is his home county. In the other counties. Mr. Lewis has suffered materially because of c widespread beliet aiocr.g !>einoerjti< leaders he would not be a strong cau didate in November. But for tha' fact, it is believed, he would be abb to give Mr. Bruce a much better or ganized opposition As it is, he musT depend upon a draft of the voters, in the face of the general lining up o? substantial leaders and workers foi Mr. Bruce. It will be possible for the countie? t<f make the nomination. There will be 133 votes in the State convention The candidate who has 67 or mon delegates instructed for him will be nominated. There will be 105 dele gates from the counties. Jud Tunkins says telling a friend of his shortcomings is more likely to kill the friendship than to cure the faults.

LOCAL DEALERS SAY NO HARD COAL IN SIGHT y { j (Continued From Pose 1.) The report from the Henry B. dyers Co., was slightly more hopeful j .s regards anthracite coal, which they , •aid might be expected in small quan- j ities within a few weeks. This hope vas held out in view of the re-open- j ng of work in the mines within a ew days. The Myers Co., however, j ias no idea that there will be enough lard coal available here this winter o supply the needs of all those who ! vould normally use it. Instead they ire suggesting to their customers who , •an in any way follow their sugges- j ions, that soft coal be used in all I urge steam plants, leaving the rather j •mall supply of anthracite for the •se of householders who must have hat kind. It is now much too late in the sea-1 ;on for the miners to produce enough •oal to provide bountifully for the lecds of the country, even with the >est operation of the mines from now m through the winter. It may be a month, was the opin on of the People's Coal Company, efore there will be any hard coal o be had in Annapolis. This will ake us into the cooler weather and he need for coal will be general by hat time. They have had no trouble n obtaining soft coal, just as the j >ther dealers, and they hold out bitu uinous as the greatest hope for!' varmth. In some slight measure, they ay, briquettes may be depended upon o furnish relief, but this product of •oal screenings has come into such '■emand during the hard coal shortage i hat the ability of the dealers to ob ain it is by no means certain. The ! ■riquettes sold here are usually ob ained from the Sunbury region of ,’ennsylvania. ] i rm. EVENING CAPIYkt, ANNAPOLIS. MARYLAND, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1922. ! championship has been played for 25 ■ times, every year since 1895, exclud | ing the war period of 1917-18, only 16 men have held the title. Travers Won Four Times Jerome D. Travers, New York, has ! accomplished the exteuordinary feat j of winning the title four times, in two pairs of successive years, 1907-08 and 1912-13 and, in addition to that he was runner up to Ouimet when the latter was victorious in 1914. Walter J. Travis, another New Yorker, comes nearest to equalling fhis record, he won 1900, 1901 and 1903. Four play ers have won the amateur champion ship two times each, two of the men I sweeping the field twice in succession | —H. J. Whigham in 1896-97 and Chandler Egan in 1904-05. Robert S | Gardner won In 1905 but did not re ; oent until 1915 and Chick Evans, af ! ter winning in 1916, waited until 1920 before again taking the cup. Few “Muiiuers-Fp” As Champs. Twenty different men have been runner-up In the quarter century of I competition but that was as far as 15 of them got, for in all except three of the 25 years the title has been won by men who had not experienced the thrill of "almost winning" and being defeated in the final roiyid of match ; play. Only two runners-up after wards became champions—E. M ; Byers, finalist in 1903, winning in I 1906 and Chick Evans winning in 1916 and 1920 after tasting victory in 1912. Three champions, however, became runner-up after holding the title. Travers being defeated in 1914 by the i then youthful Ouimet, and Robert A ■ Gardner, champion in 1909 and 1915, losing In 1916 to Evans and last year , to Guilford. Ouimet was another vic t tlm of Evans in 1920. Five men went to the threshold five tlnTcs only to be turned back—Findlay S. Douglas in 1899-1900; Byers in 11902-03; Fred Herreshoff in 1904 and i 1911; Anderson in 1913 and 1915 and Gardner in 1916 and 1921. I Tae complete list of these who have won and the runners-up they defeat ed, since the championship was held under auspices of the association ■ follows: No anthracito has been brought in i since the last of May, according to J. B. Lloyd, but the prospects for shipment within a few weeks arc good. New Fuel Ob Market The Lloyd Company is supplying c large dumber of Us customers witb Trent amalgam, which is a manufac ; tured fuel made from powdered soft coal and crude oil. This fuel will be obtainable in almost unlimited quantities, as also will be the sof coal that is to be had from the other , dealers. A review’ of the opinions of these dealers, wlm are in much more inti ; mate relation with the industry than are the consumers of coal, makes il j clear that an economical use of hard coal will not only be necessary but will be enforced during the coming winter. Perhaps it would be well for the city to take some observation les sons from those residents who hai' I from the west and from Virginip : where, according to the Parlett Com pany they appear to have become adept at firing with bituminous coal ENOUGH COAL FOR KEYSTONE STATE HOUSEHOLDERS, SAYS PENNSYLVANIA’S CHAIRMAN PITTSBURGH. PA., Sept. 8 —There will be enough anthracite coal to meet the necessities of householder:* if they will carefully conserve it, said W. D. B. Ainey. chairman of the Penn sylvania Fuel Commission, today. “It must be borne in mind,” Mr. Ainey said, “that it will take at least a month before the anthracite mines are up to their normal output and un til that time the available supply must be distributed In small allot mentf and where there is the greatest need for it.” The committee on distribution, ap pointed at yesterday's conference in this city with Secretary Hoover, will undertake its new duties at once.

Bennett, in his statement to the naval officials at Hampton Roads, said he had witnessed the murder by "Reds." He said he and Tielsch had conspired to kidnap the girl and take her to the woods to be held for ran som, but that Tielsch had attempted to criminally assault the child, after which he shot her. Too much dependence is not being placed by (> 4ie authorities In the sailor’s tale, although the navy offi cials declared him decidedly respon sible and sane. His parents say that Bennett is not responsible for what he says. He has evidenced many symptoms of insanity while at home, they say, and was an inmate of Rose wood Training School, near Owings Mill, for a year. Baltimore detectives arrested Tielsch today. While he does not answer as to measurements with the description given by Bennett to the police, he is known to the north western district as “Reds” and has been employed at the Clifton Motion Picture Parlor, which agreed with the sailor's confession.

The great Italian statesmen, favour, used to say that it cost le-s to give good direction to a hundred boys than *n repair the ills of a sinsrle man not having the bene fits of education and instruction. “Is there anything finer to look upon in the animal world than a big well-bred, well-kept horse or any thing that gives more value for it# keep.” “Train the children, train their hands, train their heads, and, above all, train their hearts, and our future will be one of good men and women.” A Boston judge in fining a driver $25 for whipping an old horse un mercifully, told the offender that he wished he had been in the shafts and the horse had plied the whip. Then he would have known how it felt. The wife of Sir Conan Doyle, dur ing her recent visit here, said that the one shadow on her trip was the cruel manner in which, in some Am erican cities, especially Washington, horses’ heads and necks were drawn back into a position that must cause agonies.
