J CROWDS AT GATHERING
t
Governor Ritchie last night paid the
State of Maryland’s tribute to the
work done by General and Mrs. Bal
lington Booth In the service of man
kind at the banquet given in their
honor in the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, cn the 27th anniver
sary of the founding of the Volunteers
of America.
Four thousand persons representing
every walk of life tilled the building.
Telegrams of felicitations from Gov-!
. ernors of 30 States and from members
, of the Cabinet were read, while hum,
dreds of notables from all sections of
the world were received by General
and Mrs. Booth.
Governor’s Speech
Governor Ritchie, in his address,
after paying tribute to General Booth'
and the Volunteers of America, ref- j
erred to the work the organization can
do In crystallizing sentiment back of
the war on the high cost of sugar. In j
this connection he said:
"There Is no way to deal adequate-!
ly with the mounting cost of a neces
j sRy of life —and the necessities of life
'are your concern—except to mobolize
\ the manhood and the womanhood of
i the country to concerted lestricticn in
| its use.
“With the rise in the price of sugar,
. which cannot ho ascribed to any nat-j
ural cause and which operates unjust-j
ly upon every householder and user of
r sugar in the land, r,o immediate rcm- j
edy offers, no immediate road back to
a normal market appears except an
aroused and determined public co-op
erating toward a single end.
“Other like occasions are sure to
call for the moral influence of volun
tary popular action.
“How better can these he mot tKan
through th£ aid of an agency such as
yours, whose ramificatons reach the
rich atid poor, the high and slow alike,
and thus enable you to servo not alone
by material help, not alone by spiri
tual influence, but by a still further
, stage of development too. the use of
, your great organization to educate the
people wisely in crises such as these,
J so as to help arouse them to com
bined action whenever their true hu
manitarian needs can best he served
that way?
“And so, General and Mrs. Booth, 1
ns the two leaders of a groat cause,!
great in what it has done and is do-,
j tng, and greater still in what it can j
• do, it is a privilege to lay at your!
; feet the genuine tribute of the State i
of Maryland?

: EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
BENEFIT SHOW TONIGHT
Those who have not purchased
tickets for tonight’s performance of
"The Man Who Owns Broadway,”
which will be given at St. Mary's
I-lall for the benefit of the Emergency
Hospital, may pay admission at the
door. This will save considerable
worry over the preliminary purchase
of tickets and will make it possible for
many who make up their minds at the
last minute to attend this clever show.
Much has already been said In
praise of the excellent acting and ap
pealing charm of this first-rate musi
cal comedy, but it may not be amiss to
remind those who have not yet seen It
that they are not again likely to have
the opportunity to see so artistic a
production in this locality for many a
day. At the same time everyone who
takes in tonight’s performance will be
aiding the financial status of the
Emergency Hospital—one of our city’s
most essential and charitable institu
tions.
So every resident of this locality
who has not before seen the play, or
who has the interests of the Emer
gency Hospital at heart, is urged to
J be on hand tonight when the curtain
j rises upon one of the best musical
! comedies ever produced here.

| UNIVERSITY MEN TO
HAVE JOLLIFICATION
That group of staid and dignified
professors, pastors and attorneys
known as the University Club of An
napolis is planning a jollification
evening on May 17, during .which, for
one evening only, they will shed the
stern wrinkles of vast knowledge and
engage in poking fun at the frailties
of themselves and their compatriots.
The committee in charge is plan
ning a supper at 7:15 p. m. in the (lin
ing hall of St. John's College for the
munificient sum of six bits, 33.000
marks, three million kronen, or 75
cents in the coin of the realm, strictly
in advance.
Any university men of Annapolis
whose minds can range from the
rankest puns to the intricacies of Ein
stein, through the intervening octaves
of modern knowledge, are invited to
be members for the occasion, all
members to be assessed as above.
The committee on program is hav
ing a hard time trying to pick a suit
able program from all those who
think they can be funny, but. never
theless, has succeeded in gathering a
group of the most famous comedians,
soloists, quartetes and entertainers 1
that ever felt the brilliance of the)
mazdas in their twinkling orbs, or i
knew the excitement incident to thun
derous applause.
All ye wives, accept not Invitations
for bridge, dinners, or Mah Jongg, for
that night for friend hubby, if he
hath been trained from a freshman to
a senior, will be around at this jollifi
! cation, attempting to forget the stern
ness of his 364-days-per-year-dignity.

Tried on an indictment charging
gambling, by making books and pools

There was insufficient evidence tend

FROM ROLLS ON
THEFT URGES
Beverly D. Lion, Of New Row
chelle, N. Y., Compelled To
Forfeit Diploma Within Three
Weeks Of Commencement
Day.
PILFERING HAD BEEN
GOING ON LONG TIME
Compelled to resign from the naval
service within three weeks of receiv
ing his diploma of graduation, and a
commission in the regular line, is
the fate that befell Midshipman Bever
ly D. Lion, appointed from New York
State. Arrested a few days ago on
charges of theft, ho was confined
I aboard the station ship Reina Mer
cedes, commonly known as the “prison
ship.” Meanwhile, the authorities,
having investigated tho matter thor
oughly, called for his resignation, and
he has been dropped from the rolls.
Details Not Disclosed
I Authorities of the academy declined
to discuss circumstances of the case
in detail, but it is generally under
stood that young Lion's arrest came
as a climax to a close investigation
that had been under w'ay since tho
close of the last summer practice
cruise, when a good deal of pilfering
was disclosed aboard the several ship*
According to the story, two students
had been under suspicion for some
time, but only one has thus far been
apprehended. Thefts of money and
other things from the rooms of fellow
students in Bancroft Hall, the dormi
tory building, are said to have been
the basis of the charges.
Offenses of the sort have been re
ported from time to time since the be
ginning of the last academic term in
October. How the miscreant was fin
ally aprehended has not been dis
closed.
