CITY POSTOFFICE
TAKES OVER NAVAL
i ACADEMY BRANCH
- Postmaster Linthicum Becomes
Custodian Of All Navy
Mails Sent Here
i P. O. DEPARtMENT ACTS
1 The Naval Academy postoffice has
, become a branch of the Annapolis
f postoffice through an act of the Post
i office Department at Washington, now
f effective. This means that where
- heretofore the Naval Academy post
s office was a branch of the New York
, Postofflce, Annapolis now is the moth
, er office and all navy mail addressed
l here will be “Annapolis. Md., Naval
Academy Branch.”
j All mall for the Naval Academy will
I he run entirely by the local postofflce
, clerks, Alexander Proskey, being clerk
in charge, witli Earle Strange, assist
ant. For the present until Postiuas
, ter Linthlcuin can make further ar
rangements, the Naval Academy will
’ loan some five men to the local post
| office force to assist with handling
;the mail.
Postmaster Linthicum is custodian
of the Naval Academy mails in the
future, and is wholly responsible for
them since the Postofflce Department
1 has made the Academy a branch of
the local office. The Postmaster ex
-1 pects to appoint a number of civilians
on the eligible list, for postoffice clerk
ships, to handle the Academy mail, as
, soon as matters can be adjusted.
The mail truck of the local postofflce
will carry all mail from trains direct
to the Naval Academy, where it will
, he assorted and distributed, and no
Naval Academy incoming or outgoing
I mail will go through the loca 1 post
. office, but the navy Annapolis branch
will be a part of the local postofflce,
and not New York, as hitherto.

.McCarty On Parade
> James U. McCarty, chief boatswain's
[ mate, U. S. Navy, (retired), took a
l prominent part in the Navy Day par
ade on the 12th of September, in Balti
, more, Md. At the head of a company
of men, all of whom had been his ship
\ mates on the Nevada, McCarty led the
parade of navy men, following the Na
' val Academy band and the navy me
morial float.
McCarty was asked to ride in an
automobile but refused to do so stating
he would rather march in the parade
instead with his shipmates. Thou
sands applauded as McCarty and his
.'company marched by in the parade.
(Many people apparently recognized
.(him as the “oldest man that went
across during the war.”
ITALIAN BATTLESHIP
DI CAVOUR EXPECTED
HERE IN NEXT MONTH
To Spend Several Days During Which
. Officers Will Inspect Na
val Academy
The Italian battleship Conte di Ca
vour, now on a cruise ia American wa
. ters will not visit the Naval Academy
until about the middle of October, ac
cording to the latest information that
has been reectved by tjie authorities
of that institution.
The Cavour reached New England
i waters about a month ago, and accord
ing to original plans she was booked
to arrive off Annapolis 'yesterday, but
she made a prolonged stay around
Boston, Mass., and Newport, R. 1., and j
is now in New Y'ork, where the visit-1
ing officers are the honor guests at a ■
round of social entertainments.
The Cavour, it is expected, will,
spend several days off Annapolis, dur- ■
ing which her complement of officers
will be afforded ample opportunity to
make u complete inspection -of the na
val reservation. Leaving here, she
will visit Baltimore harbor.
SHEfiIFTBEtLIS ILL
Suffered Fall In Bath Room At
Home This Morning
CONDITION IS SERIOUS!
Sheriff Joseph H. Beilis, of Anne
Arundel county, recently defeated for
the nomination for Clerk of the Cir
cuit Court by William N. Woodward,
is seriously ill today at his home on
Northwest street, as the result of an
other attack similar to those which he
has suffered during the last several
months.
Mr. Beilis fell wl/ile in the bath
room about 9 o’clock this morning,
and it was necessary to summon as
sistance, In order to force the door
and have him conveyed to his room.
Deputy Sheriff William D. K. Lee was
sent for, and with the aid. of several
neighbors, Mr. Beilis, in a totally help
less condition, was picked up and car
ried to hiß bed. In the meantime, Dr.
J. Oliver Purvis was sept for. It was
first reported the Sheriff had suffered
a severe paralytic stroke, but an ex
amination revealed that such was not
the case. Dr. Purvis stated that Mr.
Beilis is suffering of a heavy cold, and
is very weak. For a time the Doctor
said he thought he might possibly
have developed pneumonia, but he said
he found no traces of this malady just
now. His condition, however, Is re
garded as serious by the physician,
and is such as to cause his friends
alarm, owing to the fact that he has
been in failing health for more than
a year, and has been the victim of sev
eral similar spells.
Mr. Beilis complained of feeling
badly yesterday, his friends state. He
suffered a chill during the afternoon
and immediately took to his bed.
PERSHING MAY VISIT
SOLDIERS AT MEADE
Preparations at Camp Meade for the
reception of the First Division, with its
28,000 officers and men, increased the
general activities of camp yesterday.
There is a rumor that General Per
shing will visit camp soon after the in
stallation here of the First Division.
It is said that General Pershing has
not seen an American training camp
on this side of the water, as they were
not builL when he departed for France,
and for this reason it is believed like
ly that he will inspect Meade. If is
also pointed out that General Hutche
son, the camp commander, is an old
friend of Pershing’s, and this might
influence him to visit this camp. There
is, too, the added inducement of its
proximity to Washington.
The First Division will entrain for
Meade immediately after the Washing
ton parade tomorrow and will be ar
riving here throughout the night.
Fourty-four trains of 25 cars each will
be required to move it. In addition,
there will be motorized units ivhich
will travel by road. They will include
2,500 men and 600 motors.

Mr. White expects to return to An

to start right in to build a new;

prove the old church edifice, said to
be one of the oldest buildings in An
napolis and claimed to be the first

it is the earnest desire of its pastor
to build a church in keeping with the
times and commensurate with the de
mands of the growing congregation.
The pastor, who has been here but
a year and three months, has accom

by all who know- him. He is a good
sermonizer, an earnest worker and

The Argentine training ship Pueyr

emy early next month. This informa-
I tion is contained in a letter from the
* Navy' Department, received today by
i Rear-Admiral A. H. Scales, superin
-5 tendent of the Academy.
The Pueyrredon, according to the
Department's letter, is due to reach.
New York city about October 3, and
j she will come to Annapolis some time
! "between that date and October 14. The
I letter further states, that it was the
(desire of the Argentine government
* jthat the senior class of cadets should
' | gain an insight as to the methods em
[ ployed, and other things In connection
J with naval training in the United
' States and for that reason the cruise
to American waters was arranged. The
Pueyrredon will visit the several na
val stations along the Atlantic sea
e board, in addition to the Naval Acad
1j emy, and though not so stated, it is
i likely that her itinerary will also in
v elude a run ap the bay to Baltimore, as
is generally the case with the visits

FOR RECOUNT! VOTES
I
William E. Feldmeyer Files Pe
tition With Supervisors
OTHER ACTIONS PENDING
The vote cast in the Democratic pri
mary election in Anne Arundel county
a week ago. the count of which has
! given rise to several questions
of the action of the election officials,
has assumed a broader phase.
William E. Feldmeyer, of Annapolis,
one of the “Progressive” candidates
for nomination as County Commission
er. lias filed with the Board of Canvas
sers, (the Board of Supervisors of
Elections), a petition asking for a re
count of the ballots cast in all of the
17 precincts. His petition does not set
lorrli any specific allegation.
I This action ou the part of Mr y Feld
j ineyer followed closely on the heels of
i the steps taken by Mahlon S. Disney,
I organization candidate for Coxuiuis--
shut, who asked for a count of the.so
- ballots cast in the First Precinct
|of the Third district, which, the elec
jtion officials withheld, because of cer
itain inrregularities in the markings,
jam! sealed them up in the ballot boxes.
(a similar petition was filed by H. T.
J \V. Foreman, a candidate for delegate
'to the State Convention. Mr. Disney
who. as hitherto stated, was returned
defeated by a Joseph M. Wilkcrson, of
the Fifth district, by a margin of 2
votes, now claims that if these votes
had been counted as they should have
i een, the result would show that he
has teen nominated over WilLerson.
The Election Supervisors are hold
ing a session here this afternoon, for
the purpose of taking action on the
] petitions.
AGGRESSIVE MOVE TO -
PREPARE FOOD PRICES
Preliminary to an aggressive move
lon the cost of necessities by the Gov
ernor's Committee on Living Costs, a
j meeting is being held today in the
, office of Chairman William H. Killian,
in Baltimore, which wholesale, retail
and jobbing dealers in meats, fish,
poultry and groceries were asked to
attend. It is the intention of the com
mittee to get from these dealers in
formation upon which to base an equi
table margin for commodities in which
they deal, to be used in the publica
tion of a fair price list.
A subcommittee has been appointed
to gather additional information from
which fair wholesale prices will be
set and the prices of the jobber and the
retailer. It is likely that about foui
days will be required for gathering
the necessary data.
Mr. Killian said that, without co<
operation of the public, efforts on thi
part of any agency would be futile, sc
it is planned to inaugurate the publi
cation of the list with a big public
' massmeeting where systen
of action will be explained by some
■ person acknowledged as an authority
This meeting probably will be helt

I I handled in the several hatcheries a
total of 559.441,000 eggs of all kinds
■j of fish. Of this production there were
-jdistributed 440,155,375 eggs.
That fish consume the eggs of their
: |Own species and of other species is
-. proved by an investigation by J. P.
I Snyder, of the United States Bureau
': of Fisheries, who is superintending the
f j Maryland fish hatcheries. Says Mr.
• Snyder in a recent report:
4 "While cleaning a lot of spent her
■ ring, commonly called down runners,
' on May 1 and again on May 2 my at
" tenlion was called to the full stomachs
' of many of the fish. Examination
• showed the fish had been feeding upon
flßh eggs. Carrying the investigation
• further it was found that every stom
' ach containing food in any noticeable
r quantity contained fish eggs. This was
• rue both of male and female fish. More
than half the lisli examined, and there
' were several hundred on both occa
-5 sloqs, had been feeding on eggs. If
; this was not exceptional, but was gen-
J eral. I believe it to have been, the ag
gregate of the eggs consumed by these
' fish is simply enormous, for the stom
r achs of many contained upward of 200
! eggs, sufficiently well preserved to be
readily recognized as such.”
An illustration of the enormous
quantities of eggs distributed is fur
% nished by the distribution of white
perch alone in the various rivers.
In waters familiar to Annapolltans
- and residents of the county the follow
ing figures are shown in the table of

Filled With Spirit Of
Carnival
[ IN FULL BLAST TONIGHT
Under a blaze of light, amid my
[ riada of color, and fanfares of music,
the carnival for the bcneilt of the
Eastport Volunteer Firemen’s Asso
ciation. opened last night on Hums*
lot in the village across the Spa for
a week’s stand. And the large attend
ance, together with the readiness with
which nearly all hands dished out the
coin at the various booths and amuse
ments. augurs well for the success of
the fete from a financial standpoint, as
well %.s in other respects.
There was nothing to mar the in
aguration of the outdoor festival, save
for the fact that in the hasty plans that
had been made for the affair, some of
the attractions were not in readiness,
in spile of the valiant work of the fire
laddies and their willing helpers dur
ing the last few days.
Everything will be in full blast bp
tonight, however, and fun aplenty is In
store for both the young and older
folks.
Hums’ lot Is a spacious plot of
ground, ahd there was ample room to
set up everything provided for the oc
casion. The ferris wheel was not
placed into position until today, owing
to the delay of getting this piece of ap
paratus to Annapolis. The merry-go
round. or flying horses, which always
furnishes the greatest delight for the
kiddies, also was retarded in delivery
, here, and although a little late in being
placed in position, they were crowded
' throughout the evening. In fact,
Cliauncey Suit, the ticket seller, more
[ than had his hands full in meeting the
demands of those who wanted to get a
ride, and there was a jam at the ticket
selling stand all the while. The horses
and animals are of the mechanical
’ galloping” kind. Both the flying horses,
and ferris wheel are property of fn
