DEATH CLAIMS JAMES BOND
Father Of Baltimore Judge Once In
Business Here, Dies Suddenly
At Baltimore Home.
James Bond, father of Judge Carroll
T. Bond, of the Supreme Bench. Bal
timore, died suddenly Monday night
.at his city residence in Baltimore.
Mr. Bond was well know here, hav
ing some years ago financed the other
daily newspaper in Annapolis, "The
Evening Chronicle." edited by one of
bis sons, Thomas Bond. The Chron
icle was later absorbed by The
Capital.
Mr. Bond had been in his usual
health and Monday moved up to the
city with his family from his farm on
Gibson’s Island. Anne Arundel Coun
ty He made no complaint of feeling
ill until an hour before his death,
when Dr. Charles W. Lamed, his
physician, was called His death was
due to heart disease. *
Mr. Bond had served for 12 years as
Clerk of the Superior Court, having
been elected to the office in 1883 and
re-elected In 1889. He was appointed
Liquor License Commissioner under
Governor Crothers. In his work as
Clerk of the Superior Court he intro
luced many innovations in the meth
ods of the office, applying to the prob
lems that confronted him there the
business methods he had used in his
control of the firm of Thomas Bond &
Ton, the business of himself and Ills
lather.
Mr. Bond always took an active
Uiterest in politics and was a hard
vorker for the success of the Croth
rs campaign for Governor in 1908.
Cor several years he was a member
f the Baltimore City Council.
Mr. Bond was in his 72nd year. He
as elected president of the American
• onding Company in 1895, shortly
Tter its organization. He continued
> serve as president of the company
or nine years and under his man
gement the business was greatly ex
nded. He resigned his office In 1904,
leading that he had become tired of
• le onerous duties attached. He was
- mde a member of the board of di
>ctors and remained as such until
te company was merged with the
ideiity and Deposit Company.
In later years Mr. Bond has devot
l almost his entire attention to his
rm of 230 acres located at Gibson’s
i Maud, this county. Throughout last
iimner he had been actively manag
lg the farm.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth
uyon Bond, Mr. Bond is survived by
four sons. Judge Bond; Frank M.
Bond, a farmer at Pasadena, Anne
Arundel County; Thomas T. Bond, of

anty Company; J. Stuart Bond, who
is with the Bartlett-Hayward Com
pany; one daughter, Mrs. Clarence A.

DEMAND “PROOF j
CONCERNING RUMORS
Say* Secretary of National Society
Of Patriotic Societies
MANY FALSE REPORTS
Encouraging Report On Bond Sale, But
Citizens Must Purchase To Make
It A Success.
Through William Mather Lewis, its
Executive Secretary, the National
Committee of Patriotic Societies has
issued an appeal to loyal eitizem
everywhere to “demand proof” of
doubtful assertions concerning war
matters in an effort to trace all inju
rious statements to their source. The
committee's appeal grows out of the
fact that there has been widespread
circulation of stories for a long time
to the effect that American transports
have been sunk.
No transports have been sunk. and.
despite the fact that more than 100,-
000 American officers and soldiers
have now been safely convoyed to
France by naval vessels, the official
record shows so far that not one sold
ier has been lost in this work of over
sea transportation of a great army.
The false reports being cried
throughout the country, to which the
National Committee of Patriotic So
cieties calls attention, are believed by
government officials to be fore the
most part the result of the work of
German agents, although in some in
stances they may be set down to ma
licious mischief. An effort is being
made to trace these reports, and it
was to aid this that the committee is
sued its appeal as follows;
"The National Committee of Patri
otic Societies, which is now carrying
on a campaign to combat seditious
propaganda, particularly that which
finds circulation through conversa
tion. is getting interesting reports
from its local chairmen throughout
the country.
"In numerous towns in the Middle
West th story is being quietly pass
ed around that several transports fill
ed with troops have been sunk. Ac
cording to this highly colored tale, a
distressed parent who had not heard
from his son for several weeks finally
appealed to Secretary Daniels and
was told: ‘Your son and a thousand
other soldiers are at the bottom of the
ocean.’
"The National Committee showed
these reports to Mr. Daniels, who
promptly settled the whole matter by
saying: ‘I could not have made any
such statement because tliere are no
American soldiers at the bottom of the
ocean.’
The National Committee, realizing
that these stories are a great detri
ment to the American cguse. are call
ing upon loyal citizens everywhere to
demand proof of doubtful assertions
concerning the war matters wherever
they hear them, and to trace all. in
jurious statements to their source.”
Must Hustle Oil lloud Hale.
Wih fourteen working days gone
and only ten more to come, Liberty
Bond sales were believed by Treasury
officials today to have just touched
the $1,000,000,000 mark, a result which
has led them to wonder if the $5,000,-
000.000 hoped for can be attained in
the final days of the campaign.
"Certainly there is little about the
sales thus far to warrant great con
fidence that the $5,000,000,000 mark
will be reached."
I -limits May Blockade Our Coast.
According to news from Berlin in
an undated dispatch received by the
Admiralty through The Wireless
Press. Germany is expected soon to
declare the coasts of the United
States. Canada, and Cuba war zones.
The greatest importance is attach
ed in Washington to the brief wire
less message from Berlin asserting
that German is expected soon to de
clare the coasts of the United States,
Canada, and Cuba to be naval war
zones.
Past experience convinces officials
in Washington that Wireless Press
messages of this character previously
picked up have usually been follow
ed by formed announcement from the
Berlin Government of important hos
tile action. Assuming that the news
from Berlin is authentic, officials here
would not be surprised to hear soon
of the appearance of German sub
marines operating ofT the Atlantic
Coast.
Full confirmation of the Berlin
warning will be interpreted as notice
that Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, who
retired from the head of the German
Navy Department on March 14. 1916.
to be succeeded by Vice Admiral von
Capelle. whose resignation was an
nounced a few days ago. has again
gained ascendancy in German admi
ralty matters. It is considered ex
tremely significant here that imme
diately after the announcement of von
Capelle’s retirement von Tirpitz broke
into print with a prediction of the
final "triumph of the subraine and a
statement that Germany was now at
the fateful hour of her existence.”
Close upon the heels of the von Tir
pitz interview word trickles through
that German can be counted upon
soon to declare the American. Cana
dian and Cuban coasts blockaded. It
is felt that there can be no discount
ing the importance of these outcrop
pings.
THE MARYLAND GAZETTE.
CAPABLE WOMAN ORGANIZER
-EFFICIENT WORKER TO LE*VE
Mrs John Taggard Blodgett Abo Es
tablished Surgical Dressings
Class Off For Other
Fields.
No class of women has done mora j
for suffering humanity during the ;
present war of nations than has that !
noble class of women known as the
Surgical Dressings Class.
Annapolis can duly claim a large j
share of credit for this splendid work
sent across the seas, for the women '
here have accomplished great things I
under the leadership of their organ
izer, that capable and wonderful
worker, Mrs. John Taggard Blodgett.
Mrs. Blodgett organized the Anna
polis Class of Surgical Dressings here
a year ago last July. She established
tho class and was made its chairman.
At times there were difficulties of col
lossal' proportions to be met and over
come. but Mrs. Blodgett always found
away. Now it was the need of ma
terial. then the need of workers, and
again, the need of money to buy ne
cessary material and equipment for
work. AH difficulties were smillingly
met by that greatest of optimists,
Mrs. Blodgett, and were overcome.
Some good fortune seemed to arise
from time to time, and out of the
darkness came light, the troubles only
making clouds that enhance a beauti
ful sunrise, or a gorgeous sunset.
But it was by no means a sunset
for the Surgical Dressings Class,
whose star seems to be in the ascend
ing and its sun at meridian.
The work of the Surgical Dressings
Class grew and grew under the magic
touch of Mrs. Blodgett and her able
co-workers, all of whom were in per
fect accord and hearty sympathy with
her.
Last year the Surgical Dressings
had hut 1,800 hospitals in France to
administer to tEieir needs, this year
the hospitals in France have number
ed many- more than 6,000, who have
been beneficiaries of the Surgical
Dressings Classes. It must not be
understood that these are all French
hospitals, many of them are Ameri
can, with our own American soldiers
the patients.
The Annapolis Surgical Dressings
Class has shipped 30,000 dressings, an
almost inconceivable number for the
local women to have made, and all
executed in a neat manner that has
been commended by those higher up.
Words of praise have come from all
quarters In commendation of the ex
cellent work done by the Annapolis
women under the splendid leadership
of Mrs. Blodgett, who, yesterday,
severed her connection with the class
and will shortly leave for other
fields, to the sincere regret of the
class she has so ably conducted in
this noble work, and others who
know, value and appreciate her for
her real worth
The mantle of Mrs. Blodgett has
fallen upon a worthy'successor, Miss
Margaret Walton, who has been ap
pointed chairman of the Surgical
Dressings Class, and is equally cap
able and efficient. Miss Walton will
at once assume charge of the class,
which meets daily, Tuesday and Sat
urday excepted.
An appeal Is made for old linen, cot
ton and old bed spreads (for backing
for . pads), all of which must, of
course, be clean.
More workers are wanted. Any
ladies in the city, wives of the Naval
Reserves or wives of officers at the
Camp Meade cantonment will be glad
ly welcomed as workers of the Surgi
cal Dressings Class, which meets at
St. Anne’s Chapel.

WHO’S HAT IS THIS?
A Brown Slouch Hangs High And Dry
On Telegraph Pole.
Some man in town is hatless, unless
he has another chapeaux or several
of them.
A soft, brown. sloucttVhat is sus
pended mid-air from a telegraph
telephone-electric light combination
pole at the southwest corner of Con
duct and Duke of Gloucester streets.
It has evidently been found and
hung there, although the tallest man
in town could scarcely reach the
pinnacle.
There the hat hangs, high and dry,
tossed about by the wind, which does
not seem to blow it down, although
it shifts about at various angles on
its elevated hat rack.
Of course, the hat belongs to a
voter, and it may be is being held for
an election bet. Who knows?

FOR GLEN BURNIE
County Commissioners Award Con
tract At Weekly Meeting
THREE BIDS SUBMIT iED
Like Improvement For Lintkicum
Heights Section is Held Up
Temporarily.
Bids for the construction of sew
erage systems at Glen Burnie and
Linthicum Heights, in the upper sec
tion of the county, were opened, and
ether nutters of interest came up for
consideration at the weekly meeting
of the County Commissioners yester
day. And at the close of the regular
day’s work the officials, sitting as a
Board of Control and Review, passed
further upon the re-assessment of real
estate In the Second District.
The contract for the Glen Burnie
sewers was awarded to the firm of
Lewis Aellio and Sons, who submit
ted the lowest hid. This firm agreed
to do the work for the sum of $2,648-
.36. The contract for the sewerage
system at Linthicum Heights was
held in abeyance, primarily because
C. R. Whittaker, one of the contract
ors, made an error in preparing the
figures of hir bid. In the meantime,
however, it is understood that the
county officials will temporarily post
pone contracting for the work in that
section, as it is said tha tother means
will be resorted to in order to recti
fy the troubles that have been com
plained of. A summary of the bids
submitted on the two proposed con
tracts follows;
Glen Burnie—Lewis Aellio and
Sons, $2,648.35; C. R. W’hittaker, $3,-
038.05; Edward Woodfall, $4,292.82.
Linthicum Heights—Lewis Aellio
and Sons. $2,618.95; C. R. Whittaker.
$2,417.10; Edward Woodfall, $3,918.37.
Acting upon a request by Miss Mil
dred R. Brady. Agriculture and Homo
Economics Demonstrator of the coun
ty, in connection with the Co-opera
tive Extension Work, the Commission
ers voted an appropriation of SSO to
be distributed in the way of prizes.
The communication addressed to the
Board by Miss Brady praised the
work of the women engaged in pre
serving and canning which, It is
stated, resulted in the organization
of eight clubs in different sections of
the county, and the SSO which has
been appropriated will be divided
equally among these clubs. It "is also
announced by the County Demonstra
tor that there will be a county con
test in Annapolis on November 20,
and the letter from Miss Brady ex
tends a cordial invitation to the mem
bers of the Board of Commissioners to
he present on this occasion.
Under the provisions of an order
adopted by the Board, Engineer Hay
man has been directed to employ
teams and sufficient labor for the
grading of Severn Run Hill, north of
Odenton, in the Fourth District.

known as Chapter 622 of the Acts of
1916, is to be rigidly enforced, es
pecially in the more thickly sections
of the county, in accordance with the
provisions of an order passed by the
Board. The order calls on Chief of
Police Irwin to enforce the law in the
First and Third Precincts of the Fifth
District; Patrolman Samuel Jones
and James B. Cranford to carry out
the mandate at Eastport and German

PRESBYTERIAN SUPPER
Will Be Repeated Tonight—Patronage
Solicited.
Ladies of the Presbyterian Church
held a most successful cupper last
night in the lower rooms of the
church.
The supper was styled a "cafeteria
supper,” because the service was a
la cafe. Everybody took his own
plate from the large serving table and
was supplied with what he wanted and
asked for. Everything was five
cents, except Ice cream, which was
ten cents.
The menu consisted of ham, beef,
potato salad, slaw, pickles, deviled
eggs, baked beans, hot rolls, coffee.
After the plate was supplied the pa
trons seated themselves to enjoy their
supper. Chow chow and sliced toma
toes were on tables to help one’s self
to. Every table was attractively laid
with spotless linen, cut glass, silver,
and decorated with Eieautiful cut
flowers.
There was an abundant supply of
everything and such a quantity left
over that the supper will be repeated
tonight.

terians tonight in the lower rooms of

ACCIDENT
Little Baby Girl Painfully Injured May
Be Scarred For Life
Camille, the little three-years-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry T.
Levely. corner of Conduit and Duke
of Gloucester streets, met with a
painful accident yesterday afternoon
The little baby girl’s mother was
pushing her in a go-cart, the child
holding a milk bottle. In some un
accountable manner the child lost her
balance, falling forward and striking
the milk bottle on the iron bar in
front of the go-cart.
The bottle was shattered, pieces of
the glass cutting the child's face in
a horrible manner. The upper lip
was cut through to the bone, and the
child’s chin was cut In an ugly jag
ged wound that may require several
stitches and will scar the little one
for life.
The child also suffered from shock
and was in a highly nervous condi
tion after the accident. The family
physician was immediately summon
ed, but it is expected today the child
will have to be removed to the Emer
gency Hospital to have the stitches
taken in its chin.
Little Camille bled profusely from
the wound, and the sight of the quan
tity of blood helped to make matters
worse.

i “To Berlin or Bust.” and God help
Kaiser Bill!” This was the cry that
was sent up to the clouds by thou
sands of young men when the special
train with men aboard pulled out
of Camp Meade yesterday morning for
Camp Gordon, Atlanta. Ua These 996
men were the tirst of Maryland’s of
fering. of man-power under the Se
lective Draft act to leave the State in
the service of Uncle Sam.
There should have been 1.000. hut

are absent without leave, were left
behind These men ure now being

will Ik* held for desertion in wartime
—an almost inexcusable offense has
not us vet been determined.
The absence of these four men was
the only thing to ntnr the event, which
to the men ut Camp Meade, is the
most important Incident since their
arrival
it was a great nfend-off that the
Maryland boys received as they
marched through (he camp behiud
the band, keeping time to the strains
of “Maryland, My Maryland,” and
other patriotic airs, while the soldiers
end draftees on the s ide lines cheered
them on. Colonel Sweezey gave the
boys a brief talk, in which he handed
out some good wholesome advice, after
which the band struck up *1 May Be
Gone For a Long, Long Time,” and
the men piled into the waiting cars.
The air was rent with the cheers of
those left behind, which fairly drown
ed the band. They were singing, shout
ing and waving hats. Hags and every
thing they could lay hands on. Those
who stayed wanted the travelers to
know that they were with them,
heart and soul, although many miles
will separate them.
Due to the well-laid plans of the
officers, the movement of the troops
went along smoothly without a hitch.
A great many of the men were not
aware of the fact that they were to
leave until late last night. They had
but a few hours to make what ar
rangements they desired, but all were
ready, excepting those lour delin
quents, and whe ntlie train pulled off
