BUT HISTORIC SHIP 10 GO | 10 THE JUNK HEAP Richmond, One Of Farragut’s Fleet, Sold To Philadelphia Metal Dealers I SHOWS SCARS OF BATTLES In a few days the United States ship Richmond, once a part of Admiral David G. Farragut's fleet, will be eon signed to the scrap heap.

Pa., where the dismantling will begin. - Made Proud War Record Thfg Richmond made a proud war record in Admiral Farragut's fleet. Ii his attempt to open up the Mississippi river from its mouth, the Admiral tir | employed camouflage in smearing the sides of his ships'with mud to conceal them from the enemy. So successful j was this shrewd practice that when tin fleet was later ordered in ISG2 to the Southwest, the mud bath was again repeated. The old Civil War "lattle wagon' shows upon its scars received in tin battles of New. Orleans and of Mobib Bay, where it covered itself with glory. Grown unite old by the lime of the Rpanish-Aiueriean War. thej Richmond was stationed at the Plfila- j del pit ia Navy Yard to serve ,;s the re j ceiving ship there. During the* las; | war she afforded quarters for the j training school for firemen at Berkley.: Va. ltuilt In I Sit; f The Richmond first splashed water J in 1860, her hull having i ecu built j by the Richmond Navy Yard and her! engine constructed in Washington. In October, 1861. the Richmond fought j the ram Manassas in the Southwest j Pass. Somewhat damaged in the battle, she emerged from convalescence with i sufficient strength Ao join Admiral . FarraguU fleet for the at facie on New! Orleans. Disabled in this battle by; the tcrritic confederate lire, she tin-J derwent further repairs and fought ' her last battle of tlie war on Mobile Hay. under tiie command of Capt. Thornton A. Jenkins. — -* - ■ .. No. 2 COMPANY DANCE A GREAT SUCCESS Last night’s dance given under the auspices of Independent Fire Com pany, No. 2. was a great success. The j dance was held in St. John's College , gymnasium, which was well filled all ! evening, but not too crowded to make dancing uncomfortable. Music was furnished by the Jazz band and was of thai jinglv, melodious . sort that set the feet tingling to dance ! and kept the dancers in a whirl all levelling. During the evening refresh ments were served and there was an ; | abundance of ice-cold soft drinks, i Dancing continued until midnight. Much credit for the splendid success j (of the dance is due the chairman, i Thornton Strange, and his efficient j j committee of arrangements, who gave, hearty co-operation, and was com-1 posed of Edgar Porter, Benjamin Hoi- j iiday, and foreman Frank Green.

HINT TO COMMISSIONERS ON MARKING ROADS 1 Just byway of a reminder to the 1 State. Automobile Commissioner, or State Automobile Club, or wtioseever ' duty it is to place signs on roads, it might said that sign is badly , needly marking the road to Bay Ridge. u Scarcely a day passes that from four to six automobile parties do not travel to Arundel-on-the-Bay by mis take when their objective point is Bay Ridge. There is no siga or marker to e I indicate the Bay Ridge road, whereas s such a sign placed at the intersection a of the Arundel and Bay Ridge roads, J opposite the home of William Hopkins, t and near the road leading to “Orp l, > ington Villa,"’ the home of Mr. Luce, a would save travelers several miles, a x> ho go to Arundel-on-the-Bay instead lot Bay Ridge where they want to go. e Road markers are needed here and I should be placed at once. Gfofll TUN EVENING CAPITAL—ESTABLISHED 1884. L . . , ffiH ii- viS PRICE ONE CENT \j WAR MOTHERS INVITE PRESIDENT WILSON *** His Acceptance Of Invitation Only Incomplete Part Of War Mothers’ Program CHANGE CONSTITUTION? Except fur (he decision of President Wilson, plans for the National conven tion of War Mothers of America, to be > held in Baltimore at Hotel Emerson, j October 7. 8 and 9. are about com pleted. The President has been ex tended an invitation to speak at one of the sessions but has not definitely de- i elded and there Is some hope that he ' .vil l accept. The tour of the country j t,n support of the peace treaty will end ; j about September 2S and after that it is believed the President will have more leisure than now. £.'o Delegates Expected Responses coming from the various State bodies indicate that the whole '•ountry will he represented, Plans tre being made for the entertainment about 250 delegates. Other patriot ic societies that did a similiar work luring the war have been invited to send representatives, the purpose be ing to amalgamate all these activities 1 n the War Mothers’ organization. Among the societies accepting this in vitation are the Daughters of Demo cracy; the Next of Kin Society, start ed in General Pershing’s home town; 1 Daughters of Liberty from California •ml the Daughters of the Masons from Massachusetts. There is no doubt that ibis amalgamation will take place The most important business to be brought before the convention will be j the fixing of the work of the War | Mothers on a permanent basis for the ! future. Tlie work done during the ; war was productive of good resu’ts, I but the reconstrutcion era is present ing somewhat different problems. The War Mothers, Mrs. T. Parkin Scott - lid today, intend to change the scope of their efforts to fit the reconstruction needs and will “follow up” on what ihey did during the war. The details of the new program, of course, will not be known until the subject is discussed in the convention essions and ideas and proposals care fully weighed. After this business is . settled a constitution will be drawn up embodying tundamental ideas. Major And Governor May Speak Mayor Broening, may be asked to make the address of welcome, and Gov. Harrington will likely spe.tk it one of the sessions. The commit tees now arranging the final details ire the reception, hotel, banquet, hos pitality and page girls committees. The sessions will be held at the hotel and at Albaugh’s, prpbably. One af ternoon will be devoted to an excur sion to Annapolis. On Friday at 2:30 o’clock in the af ternoon the State body will meet at the Young Women’s Christian Asso ciation to discuss the convention. - MAY SEND BATTLESHIP TO BALTIMORE EVENT Mayor Broening and a committee of citizens of Baltimore called on Acting Secrelary Roosevelt at the Navy De i partment yesterday morning and made I a strong plea for the presence of war ships at Baltimore, at the celebration | of Navy day, September 12. Mr. Roose : velt said there were very few ships land men available for the celebration | just at this time, but promised that he II would do the best he'could to add to ;the success of the celebration, even •*h<)ugh he had to limit the Navy’s con tribution to a squadron of submarine J chasers. He said he would send a battleship if possible.

WAGGAMAN WAS ] AMONG MEN HEAVILY ! - INSURED IN STATE Insurance Cdinpanies Hit Heavily Last Year By Long Epi demic Of “Flu” PAYMENTS OVER NORMAL The late John F. Waggaman, who j formerly resided at "Wild Rose Lodge," on South river. Anne Arundel county, was among the heavily In sured Marylanders, according to re ports which have recently been issued and which give the payments made to beneficiaries of decedents during 1918. Mr Waggaman carried insurance amounting to S3.V>O2. Among other large policies paid was that on account of the death of Guy Carieton Parlett, formerly a resident of Millersville, this county, and son of Mr and Mrs. Claudius R. Parlett, the father being head <>f the firm of Par lett and Parlett Company, of this city. Young Parlett was a member of the Machine Gun Company, of Annapolis, that trained with the 115th Infantry at Anniston. Ala . for overseas service. He died there following an operation. The year 191 S. was as in many in stances. an abnormal period in the life insurance field, according to the fig ures Issued by the Insurance Press. Distributions to the enormous amount of $1,115,810,000 were made during 1918, owing to the abnormal death rate. Naturally there were many policies paid out by the virions companies, and the fifth largest was that paid on the life of Scabury Davies, of the firm of Poe & Davies, of Baltimore, a vlc t m of the "Hu" during its epidmeic late last year. The amount paid was $400,- 000. Over five million dollars was paid out on Maryland policies, some rf largest in other cities being those of Harry W. Bowers, Frederick, $25,323; James Dawson Williams, Kensington, $22,505; L. M. Schlens, Catonsvllle, $25,017, and Bernard F. Shrlver, Union Mills, $20,000. The largest claim of 1918 was that of Robert A. Rowan of Los Angeles, which called for $575,000. Mortality Kate High The rate of mortality the life Insur ance companies had to meet was about 32 per cent, greater than in 1917 and 14 per cent, greater than the average death rate for a score of years. This great advance was due mainly to the influenza epidemic, the ravages of which coat Infeed during several months of the current year. Thirty eight life insurance companies report ing to the New York Insurance De-. partment were called upon to pay for death claims and endowments about $93,000,000 more than in 1917. The increase in death losses paid by legal reserve companies was approximately $123,000,000 in the United States and Canada—mainly due to the influonzav on lives under 50 years of age.
