The United States Torpedo Boat De

in connection with securing recruits
for the Navy.
The McCalla is one of the largest
type of destroyers in the service, and
she is equipped with engines capable
of driving her at a speed of 36 1-2
knots per hour. She was placed In

and only recently returned to home
waters after being engaged in patrol
war in waters across the seas.
Applicants for enlistment in the
service may present themselves
aboard the McCalla at any hour of the

branches of the service, and it is for
this purpose that the McCalla has been
sent to Annapolis. She came down
the coast from Fall River, Mass., and
is now moored to the Naval Academy

SEASON OPENS ON OCT. 4
Although football and all other bran
dies of athletics at SI. John’s were j
i
considerably disarranged because of
I war conditions, and especially with!
jthe establishment of the Students'!
j Army Training Corps last year, the
outlook for a successful gridiron sea
loon looms up much brighter now than
was expected a few weeks ago.
The principal lost suffered by the
; Cadets since die close of the campaign
i last fall was that of the graduation of
Phil Berber, all-around athlete, and
tackle of the eleven. And with I lie re
opening of the college near at hand,
news is wafted into camp that the
•j great majority of last season’s squad
I will return, according to Boscoe Grove,
a former star athlete at St. John’s, now
an instructor, and who has genera!
supervision over athletics, there will
he an abundance of good material.
The schedule has been arranged. I
contains eight dates, seven of which
have been definitely filled, and it is
also expected to till the open date
November 15. The leading Maryland
teams are included in the list Mary-1
land State, Washington and Johns
Hopkins University. The varsity con
test will be played on Homewood Field
i Baltimore. Featuring the season from
a purely local standpoint will le the
j contest with Maryland State College.
! Eddie Scmler. a Western Mar) land
lad. star quarterback of last year, will
; lead the team, and there is every pros
pect that a sturdy and fast baekheld
j will he developed. Dutch Lentz, of
Baltimore, former star tackle at St.
I John’s, recently appointed coach in
place of Johnny Wilson, who resigned

i tetic director at the Naval Academy,
| is expected to report here on Wednes
day the opening day of college and is

ly the case, as the season will not open
until October 4, the contest being

HEARING ON 2.75 BEER
Truck Driver Charged With De

SAMPLES ARE ANALYZED
Hearing of the rase of Andrew Wal

brewery, as the result of a warrant is
sued at the instance of agents of the
United States Department of Justice,
charging him with delivering 2.75 per
cent beer in “dry” Annapolis, will take
place before United States Commis
sioner William F. Minnick, at the city
police station at 2:.”.0 o’clock Friday
afternoon. The hearing was original
ly fixed for Friday of last week, but
was postponed upon request of the
Federal agents.
The Wallawanskv case'developed In
connection with the arrest of D. G.
Sanders, proprietor of ' a Market
Square cafe, on charges’ of violating
the federal laws relative to the sale of
2.75 percent beer. The case against
Sanders was, however, dismissed, fol
lowing a hearing before Commissioner
Minnick on September 5. It was in
tended to take up Wallawonsky’s case
at that time, but the Federal agents
asked that the hearing t>o deferred
pending a chemical analysis of sam
ples of the beer, claimed to contain
more than the legal percentage of al
cohol, and which, it is alleged, Wal
lawansky delivered to the cafes in the
city. The case is viewed An the light
of a test.
FERRY BOAT DISABLED
r
Steamer Harrington 4 Laid Up
Yesterday By Boiler Trouble
AUTO PARTIES PEEVED
After being laid up all clay yester
day because of an accddent to her
boiler, the steamer Gov. Emerson C.
Harrington of the An.i*apolis - Clai
borne ferry line, was able to resume
her regular schedule tod a;?, beginning
with the 4 o'clock run tabs morning,
on which the BaltimoVe morning
newspapers and mail matter are car
ried across the hay for distribution
among various points the East
ern Shore. *
It was not until early yesterday
morning when the crew of the steamer
were making ready fo* the regular
S o’clock run. that it v-aM discovered
there was a hole in her.Txjiler. This
necessitated sending to. Baltimore for
an expert mechanic to rfpiir the dam
age. The trouble was bvercome late
in the afternoon, but no; in time to
make the usual 4 o’clocfaMrip.
As a result of yesterday’s accident,
scores of automobile parties, besides
hundreds of pleasure seekers, who
came to the city by trfclley cars to
make the trip on the bay were keenly
disappointed. Likewise, there was
disappointment among spares of other
automobilists who had tften spending
vacations with relatives- and friends
on the shore or at Mqtyland’s only
seaside resort, Ocean &Uy, who had
contemplated returning t<> their homes
on the Western Shore night This
makes the second accident of a similar
nature that has happened to the Har

'THREE IMPORTANT
: Mm TO COME
BEFORE COUNCIL
' But Special Meeting Of Solons
Has Been Deferred Until
Friday Night
.1
PAY OF POLICE, ISSUE
| The special meeting of the City
i Council that had been called for to
! night to consider three important
business matters, has been deferred
j until Friday night of this week, be
cause of the absence from the city of
second ward Alderman John Taylor,
who offered the motion for a postpone
definite action on one of the measures
to he taken up.
Perhaps the most important ques
tion to be considered at the coming
| special meeting will he the ordinance
| drafted by Alderman McCready, of the
'third ward, which carries provisions
for a $lO per month increase in the
I salaries of all the city police officials.
It appears that there is some opposi
tion ahead to this ordinance, because
of other indebtedness now confronting
the city, but it is understood that
about four of the bluecoats threaten
to quit their jobs and seek more luc
rative positions along other lines, as
they state their present salaries are
insufficient to meet all demands in the
trend of the high cost of living.
Another measure, also fathered by
Alderman McCready, to which further
attention is to Le given is the ordi
nance further regulating traffic about
the streets of the city, particularly as
regards the parking of automobiles on
Main street, around the south side of
Church Circle, and out West street as
fir as Cathedral. Opposition to the
adoption of this ordinance also has
developed and it is a question as to
what will be the final outcome.
The third question on the calendar
of business is the proposed improve
ments to the city fish market, as pro
posed by Alderman Taylor. On this
issue, it is expected, the Council will
finally decide to invite bids for the
work.
And while the Council is engaged in
disposing of these important ques
tions, it is not unlikely that there will
he a number of matters of a routine
nature to be pushed along in the mill
of munieipal business.
ASKS FOR COUNT OF
REJECTED BALLOTS
Claiming that between 52 and 55 bal
lots cast in the First Precinct of the
Third district in the recent Demo

| were rejected by the election officials
Jon the ground that they were illcg
jally voted because more names were
I voted in one or another of the groups
of candidates, but which should have
ibeen counted for the rest of candi
dates where such a situation did not
J exist, Mahlon S. Disney, candidate for
re-nomination as County Commission
er to represent that district, today pe
titioned the Election Supervisors for
I a count of said ballots.
Disney was returned defeated for
nomination by Joseph M. Wilkerson,
of the Fifth district, the vote standing,
Wilkerson, 876; Disney, 874. Mr. Dis
* ney claims the count of the rejected
ballots will show he was duly nomi
j nated.
On similar grounds, H. T. W. Fore

State Convention has petitioned for a
count of the same rejected ballots.

Oil OF GYPSIES
! PUNNED TO GAMP
AT CARNIVAL SITE
Unheralded, Nomads Went To
Eastport, But Soon Were
Compelled To Move
BIG FETE ON TONIGHT
With the merry-go-round, and even
a ferris wheel, placed in position this
afternoon, and all of the other booths
,and stands erected, the stage is set
for (lie mammoth carnival that opens
tonight on the plot of ground known
as Burns’ lot, at Eastport, for the bene
fit of the Volunteer Firemen’s Associa
tion of that village.
The carnival will continue through
out the week, and having secured the
co-operation of the volunteer firemen
iof the city, especially the Rescue Hose
: Company of the Third Ward for the
use of their portable dance floor, and
other stands, and the two above named
! amusements, through the assistance of
the management of the Glen llurnle
Improvement Association, the carnival
promises to surpass anything of the
like that has been held in this vicinity.
For a time yesterday afternoon, a
feeling of more or less consternation
J pervaded the several committees hav
ing charge of the arrangements for
j the fete, by the arrival of a hand of a
score or more gypsies, young and old.
Unheralded, they simply "walked into
j camp," so to speak, and began pitch
ling their tents, and arranging head
!quarters for the fortune tellers, and
places to display their wares for sale,
etc. News of the arrival of the No
-1 mads spread like a dash of lire among
jthe residents or the village, many of
I whom actually were thrown into a
state of terror, and resentment of their
presence soon became rife. But the
wanderers were soon halted in their
arrangemennts when they were ?
proached by some of the carnival com
mitteemen.
In the meantime, State's Attorney
Nicholas H. Green, was communicated
with, and after giving due considera
tion to the circumstances, served no
tice on the “chief” of the tribe to
move elsewhere.
That the gypsies were as mad as
hornets was evidenced by the constant
talk In their Nomadic lingo. They hur
ried hither and thither, re-assembling
their paraphernalia and getting other
effects together, and soon they were
silently being conveyed out of the pre
