OTHER SPEAKERS GUESTS
That Annapolis is likely to have in
the near future a new industrial en
terprise, was indicated at the weekly
luncheon of the Rotary Club today
when William Shapiro, of Baltimore
city, representing a concern engaged
In the manufacture of working
clothes, appeared before the club and
gave a general outline of their pros
pect for locating in Annapolis. While
no definite, selection has been made,
practically all the details, he said, had
been covered except the question of
labor. He said that about forty 01
fifty women and girls, either colored
or white, would be needed for operat
ing the machines, and that, if this
help could he found here, the plant
would probably be located and gradu
ally enlarged so as to become a con
siderable enterprise.
Says Co. “.M” eds Enlistments
Captain Daniel J. Murphy, Company
M,” Maryland National Guard, also
appeared before the Rotary Club and
made a strong plea for co-operation on
the part of the citizens in getting ad
ditional enlistments for his company.
He said that about thirty-five more
men were needed to fill up the quota,
and pointed to the increased import
ance of the Maryland National Guard
units in the nation’s defense.
Another speaker was William H.
Moss, president of the Annapolis
Water Company, who gave an inter
esting outline of the present situation
at the water works, and also as to fu
ture developments in that connection.

RALLY IN NINTH
Washington and Lee sent a
good hitting team to Annapolis
yesterday and as a result the mid
shipmen again were forced to
taste defeat, their fourth time
this season. Ihe score was 7to
3, and the victory was well earn
ed. Rain threatened to halt the
game at the end of the second in
ning after the Middies had estab
lished themselves in a 2-run lead,
and although there was a shower
of ten minutes duration, the
heavy clouds soon drifftd by.
Kelly Is Hit Hard
Kelly, Navy's veteran liurler, who
has been worked pretty hard, having
pitched three games within a week,
was touched for 12 safe drives, two of
which were two-baggers. On the
other hand, the twirling of McCallum
was a big factor in the Generals’ vic
tory. He was steady and effective ex
cept in the second inning, when the
naval lads bunched three hits for a
brace of runs. It was McCallum’s first
game of the season. He was captain
of the team last year, but has not been
worked thus far because of a sore
arm. Apparently, the wing did not
bother him yesterday. In addition to
his work on the mound, he rapped out
three singles, each of which was re
sponsible for a run.
Three Huns In Sixth
Kelly was hit hardest in the sixth
and seventh frames. In the former
the Generals found him for five safe
ties that drove three runners home.
Doubles by Switzer and Frew, and a
single by Dawson, brought two more
tallies in the seventh. Two hits and
an error gave the Virginians their

The degree work will be done by
the team of Manzita Tribe No. 137, of
Chase, Md, This team is the crack
degree team of the State and recently
won first prize in a competition of the
various tribes of Maryland. They
have been especially invited by Great
Sachem J. W. Wood, of the Reserva
tion of Maryland, to trail to the Hunt
ing Grounds of Annapolis tonight that
the members of Chesapeake Tribe
might see them in action, and a rare
treat in Redmanship is promised. The
Board of Great Chiefs will also be
present to lend their aid that the
drive may be successful. *
The occasion will also formally

MIDDIES TO ENTER i
111 BIG REGATTAS
i
Permission Given Varsity To
Row In Poughkeepsie Classic
And Plebes In Henley
BIG OBSTACLE OVERCOME
The midshipmen’s varsity and
‘■Plebe” eight-oared shell crews will
compete in the Poughkeepsie and
American Henley regattas. Formal
announcement to this effect has been
made by Superintendent Wilson, of
the Naval Academy. The Pough
keepsie classic will be staged on the
Hudson, June 28. and the Henley on
the Schuylkill, May 28.
Join ('raising Ships Later
Rear-Admiral Wilson had previous
ly ruled against of these outside
competitions because of interference
with the midshipmen's professional
work, this being particularly the case
as regards the Poughkeepsie event,
which necessitates the loss of about
one month from the summer practice
cruise. Now, however, it is felt that
a satisfactory arrangement can be
made for transporting the oarsmen
to the practice squadron immediately
after the race and thereby lose only
part of the cruise.
Wilson Makes Statement
In reaching his decision regarding
these races, Admiral Wilson made the
following statement:
“A very important part of the mid
shipmen’s training comes from the
experience gained on shipboard dur
ing the annual practice cruise, and
lacking assurance of transportation to
the ships of the squadron, the Super
intendent has felt constrained to with
hold his permission for the members
of the crew to sacrifice themselves
professionally."
EXCELLENT CANDY TO
BE MAT PLAY
In connection with the repetition of
‘'’The Man Who Owns Broadway,”
which will be given tomorrow even
ing at 8:15 in St. Mary’s Hall for
the benefit of the Emergency Hospi
tal, attention is called to the fact that
reserved seat tickets are now on sale
at T. Kent Green’s Drug Store.
As this play is extremely clever and
as the entire proceeds derived from
Friday’s performance will be added
to the funds af the Emergency, it is
hoped that every person who has not
seen it will arrange to attend the play
tomorrow night.
Mrs. G. A. Moss is in charge of
the publicity for the occasion.
Mrs. Benjamin L. Hopping is chair
man of the committee that will con
duct the sale of candy in connection
with the hospital benefit and the fol
lowing ladies are the members of her
committee: Mrs. Leonard Clark, Mrs.
Lulu Shepherd, Mrs. Charles Basil,
Mrs. Wm. Flood and Miss Helene Far
rell. As every lady on this commit
tee is deservedly famous for success
in making candy there is every rea
son to believe that this feature of to
morrow night’s affair will net the
hospital considerable profit.
The committee is soliciting dona
tions of brown, granulated and con
fectioners’ sugar, Karo syrup, Eng
lish walnuts and cocoanut. Every
one desirous of assisting the hospital
is requested to send any of these ma
terials to Mrs. B. L. Hopping, 47 Dean
street, or, if they cannot arrange to
do this, to call 966 or 727 and the
committee will call for the donations.

DENBY REBUKES
SIMS FOR ATTACK
ONWFICERS
Secretary Says It Is Hard To Be
lieve Admiral Would Show
Such Utter Disloyalty To The
Service Officers Criticized
Have Splendid Records.
WILSON SPENT TWO
YEARS AT WAR COLLEGE
The recent attack of Rear-Ad
miral W illiam S. Sims on certain
high appointments within the na
val service, including that of
Rear-Admiral Henry B. Wilson
as Superintendent of the Naval
Academy, has brought forth a
sharp rebuke from Secretary of
the Navy Denby. The chief
point of Admiral Sims’ criticism
was not having an officer who is
a graduate of the Naval War
College as commander-in-chief of
the United States fleet, as chief
of naval operations and as super
intendent of the Naval Academy,
the officers aimed at evidently be
ing Rear-Admirals Robert E.
Coontz, Edward W. Eberle and
Henry B. Wilson.
Sims Essayed Role Of Critic
Secretary Denby’s rebuke to Ad
miral Sims is in these words: “I find
it hard to believe that Admiral Sims
made the statements attributed to him.
I cannot believe any officer would
show such utter disloyalty to the
service.”
It seems that Admiral Sims has in
recent years several times assumed
the role of critic, and that he has been
out of harmony with the administra
tion of the Navy Department for some
time. During the war he attacked
certain of the departments’ policies
in the conduct of the war. Later he
attacked the system of awarding naval
decorations, and only recently in a
public speech in California denfended
certain phases of the German system
of naval warfare. Another contro
versy in which Admiral Sims was the
principal figure was the result of a
bitter attack which he made upon the
Irish. This dispute ended in a public
rebuke of the Admiral by Secretary of
the Navy Denby. In 1910, Admiral
Sims, then a commander, first attract
ed attention by a hands-acrosg-the
sea speech, for which he was rebuked
by President Taft. A few months
later, however, he was raised to the
rank of captain.
