Work on the Republic Theatre, one
of Annapolis’ most popular “movie"
houses, is now rapidly nearing com
pletion The building, which was
partially destroyed by tire shortly be

ithan two months, and the manage
ment states that it hopes to re-open
the theatre within the next fortnight.
Careful study has been given to th,*
interior decoration of the Republic
and the result more than justifies the
large amount of time and money ex
, pended. The expanse of cool gray
walls, broken by panels of old rose,
bordered in ivory, attains an artistic
1 simplicity that is complete In effec
tiveness. The ceiling has been finish
ed in ivory relief work. In addition
to the previous seating opacity of the
I theatre, a small balcony has been in
stalled. as has a system of indirect
lighting that is very attractive. There
are no longer any overhead lights in
the Republic’s ceiling, the light com
! ing from Ivory colored, boxlike fix
tures along the sides of the walls.

LAUNCH INTENSIVE
DIE FOB MEMBERS
Personal Campaign To Bring A?)
Business Men Into Chamber
Of Commerce
.
Believing that every business and
professional man of Annapolis, as
well as the surrounding community,
should lea member of the Chamber
of Commerce, of the city, the mem
, bers of that tody have launched an
intensive campaign to boost member
ship.
While the Chaml er has made sat
isfactory progress along different
lines, since its organization several
months ago. officers and members to
a unti, feel that the numerical
strength of the body should run into
the’ hundreds, instead of less than 100.
which is its present enrollment. Fur
thermore. they feel that only the best
results can be attained by every bus
iness man interesting himself to llie
extent of becoming a member of the
Chamber, and then all hands put
their shoulders to the wheel in every
movement that tends to the commer
cial advancement of the city. In
other words, it is printed out that
the spirit of co-operation should be
greater, and a better feeling in every
way fostered by the business men.
Hence the membership drive. In
launching this campaign, the Chamb- 1
er decided upon the plan of naming
membership committees to engage in
a canvass among the business men
with the view of securing additional
members. A different committee will
engage in such activity each month
For the present month, the committee
consists of Col. J. Edward Abtott,
William G. Vanous, and Joseph Glick
man. For April, and each succeed
ing month, a new committee will be
uamed. It is planned for the mem
bers of the committee as a body, or
singly, to visit the various business
intyi personally and enlist their inter
est in joining the Chamber.

jj G. McNARY RUFUSES TO

(By Th Aasoyiatyd Pry**.)

James G. McNary. of New Mexico,
whose nomination for Comptroller of
the Currency failed of confirmation by
the Senate, was offered a recess ap
pointment to the place today by Presi

the appointment.
It was announced that D. R Cris

Pres. Harding Leaves
On Vacation Trip
To Florida
(By Thy AiwiflUel Pry**.)
WASHINGTON, D C„ Mar. 5
President and Mrs. Harding, ac
companied by a party of friends,
left Washington today on a
special train for Florida, where
they will enjoy a houseboat trip
of more than a mopth’s duration.
The Presidential special pulled
out a few minutes pfter noon for
an uninterrupted rsn to Ormond,
Fla., where the party is to board
the houseboat. It was Mrs. Hard
ing’s first appearance outside the
White House grounds since her
serious illness of last summer,
but she appeared almost her old
self and stood on the observation
platform and waved as long as
the train was in siiht.
Included in the tyarty was At
torney-General Dapgherty, who
also had been confided to his ted
for several weeks. Before he
went to the train he visited the
Department of Justice for the
first time since January 27 and
signed a number of important
papers. He still is physically
weak, however, and as soon as he
had greeted the President and
others in the pafty, he entered
the train and went to bed.
FORMERNAVYOFFICeT
INJURED WHEN MARI
BOMBING PLANE FELL
News comes from New York that
Major Follett Bradley, prominent
Army aviator. Naval Academy grad
uate and well known here, was prob
ably fatally hurt yesterday when a
giant Martin bomber in which he and
Lieut. Stanley Smith, also of the
Army Air Service had just left Mitch
el field, was forejel down in Brook
lyn by a broken controlling rod.
Lieut. Smith was killed.
Lieut. Bradley graduated from the
naval school in the class of 1910. La
ter he took up aviation and decided
to join the Army Air Service. A
number of his n,aval classmates now
are on duty at the academy.
Four student mechanics, privates,
who also were in the biplane, escap
ed with only slight injuries, owing
to the skilful manner in which Majpr
Bradley piloted the big bomber to
earth from a height of 5.000 feet.
The two officers, both of whom were
statipned at Chanute Field, were
pinned under the wing of the ma
chine, which, brought to earth on its
wheels, overturned when it struck a
hillock. Lieutenant Smith, suffering
internal injuries, a fractured skull
and several broken bones, died in a
hospital several hours later. Major
Bradley was reported to be in a pre
carious condition last night.
POSTOFFICE ROLLERS TO
MEET ST. MARGARET’S
ON ALLEYS TONIGHT
Teams of duckpin rollers of the
Postoffice force and St. Margaret’s
will' he the contenders when the
schedule of games will be resumed
tonight. The fact that the series of
games has entered the second round,
interest will he keen from now on
and early changes in the League
standing may le looked for.
As a matter of fact the result of
tonight's match may depose the Post
office team from the leadership which
it has held for the last few days with
a record of three straight wins, and
no defeats which, gives them a 1,000
per ce;it. standing. The St. Margar
et's team is in third place with 2
wins, and one defeat, or a
age of 666. St. Margaret's could go
to the front in the event they should
win ali three of touight’s games.
That is the only way they could take
the commanding position. If the
countiahs should drop one. and win
too, these two teams would then be
in a tie with 4 victories and 2 de
feats.

SENATE FAILED TO
CONFIRM MARCY
Understood, However, Nominee
For City Postmaster Will Get
Recess Appointment
The Senate of Congress adjourned
yesterday without confirming the
President s nomination of Dr. William
L. Marcy. as postmaster of Annapolis
to succeed the late Thomas J. Liuthi
cum. it became known here today. It
is generally believed here t however,
’hat Mr. Marcy will be given a recess
appointment as acting postmaster un
til Congress meets again in regular
session in December, when confirma
tion of his formal appointment will be
made in the regular order. The name
of Mr. Marcy was among many other
nominees for postmastership which
failed of confirmation in the closing
hours of Congress.
Appointee Gets Felicitations
Meanwhile, Mr Marcy has been re
ceiving the congratulations of a host
uf friends over his appointment, and
he is preparing to assume the duties
of his office. A recess appointment ap
postmaster means that Mr. Marcy’s
tenure of office will be nine months
more than the regular term. In other
words, when his nomination is finally
confirmed in December, his appoint
ment will be for the regular term c f
four years, it is understood.

Three heifers’ were burned to death
and a large quantity of hay. Imple

o the State farm grounds of the
Hospital for Colored Insane, at
(Townsville. Anne Arundel county,
yesterday afternoon. Fourteen cows,
12 mules and 2 horses were saved.
Taking Inventor) Of Loss
Dr. Robert P. Wlnterode, superin
tendent of the hospital stated today
that the extent of the damage would
not Le known until an inventory is
trken. Underwriters from Baltimore
are at the scene of the conflagration
today assisting in “taking stock” of
the monetary loss. The large barn
destroyed, Dr. Winterode said, is
known as the “implement barn." In
it were stored all farming imple
ments, hay, and other feed, harness
and other things. A smaller build
ing was used as a stable for the
horses and mules, and two sheds, still
s? taller In size, were the row stables.
Dr. Wlnterode stated that all har
ness, and feed for the stock, and prac
tically all of the farming implements,
were destroyed.
Origin Is l' ndertermlned
The blaze, the origin of which has
not been determined, was discovered
along about 6:30 o'clock and owing
to the large amount of inflammable
material stored in the barn, it was
realized that the building was doom
■e! to destruction. Many of the at
tendants !m,l inmates of the hospital
bi ilding, situated some distance
away were turned out, and forming
bucket brigades endeavored to sub

diverted their attention to preventing
several smaller buildings not far re
