TIMELY ASSISTANCE
PREVENTS BIG FIRE
S AT SEVERN COTTAGE
i- lJouse Owned By Mrs. Fowler Catches
Fire From Mice And Matches—
Much Damage Prevented
n What might have been a disastrous
1 fire was prevented by the timely as- !
[ sistance on Sunday afternoon of Major!
il j |
s ; Raleigh Thomas, who. with his family, j
n j Is cocupying one of the cottages own
f ed by Mrs. Allen Lester Fowler, on the
s . Severn, near War dour,
e I Major Thomas was resting on the
8 porch and enjoying a cigar late in the
j afternoon when lie smelled smoke. At
1 first he thought it was the cigar he
f had imen smoking, but the odor was of
t a different sort. He immediately be
*; gan an investigation and found the
• ] woodwork between the partition on
■ : the second floor of the cottage on fire. 1
1 He tore off the heaver board used in
• the partition, and poured water be- ;
I tween, being assisted by a bucket
• i brigade formed by members of the
| household. Soon the fire was put out, ,
j without material damage.
It is thought the fire was caused by
mice nibbling at matches, as n:> other ,
f cause can he assigned for its origin, ,
. Ihere having been no fire about the
premises.
I Fortunately the fire caught when
, the family was at home, otherwise ,
I the cottage would have probably <
burned to the ground with all its fur- j
I nishings, including a valuable piano,
. which was not insured. )■
The Thomas family is usually out .
■ motoring on Sunday afternoon at tho
time the fire was discovered, but hap
. pened not to go last Sunday. The cot- '
tage is the one formerly occupied by i
Prof, George Webster, otganist and ;
choirmaster of St. Anne’s.

TO GIVE UP BODY
j OF WASHINGTON LAD
11 But Many Engage In Search For That
Of Charles Holder --SIOO Kenant
Offered By Father
-
; j Although searching parties diligent
■ j ly dragged the waters in the vicinity
of the Hackett's Point fishing ground
! all day yesterday, efforts to locate the
body of Charles F. Holder, of Wash
ington. victim of a drowning tragedy
j Sunday afternoon,, when he fell over- j
board from a motorboat, have so far j
! proved unsuccessful. In the mean- j
time, a reward of SIOO offered by tliej
i parents of the unfortunate young man,
still stands and this spurred a num- i
tier of additional persons to engage In
the hunt for the body.
As told in the Capital of yesterday, |
young Heider, who was 19 years old.
was ihe son of John W. Heider. He
lived at No. 455 New York avenue,
• Northeast, Washington, and was era- j
i ployed in the offices of the Southern
Railways of that city. Heider, with
his brother, William Heider. had
come to Annapolis to visit relatives,
and with their uncle, Albert F. Mon
day, superintendent of buildings and
grounds at St. John’s College, had *
! started in the motorboat of the latter, j
for an outing at fishing when the ao
| cident occurred. Mr. Monday made an
heroic effort to save his nephew life
' several times but without successful
result, the roughness of the water
j proving a big handicap.

ELECT JOHN DOUW
CHAIRMAN OF NEW
DEM. COMMITTEE
Newly Elected Body Also Names-
Samuel P. Chew, First Dis
trict, Secretary
JOHN TAYLOR. TREASURER
The new Democratic State Central
| Commit tee for Anne Arundd county
j elected at the primaries of September
|S, met this afternoon and effected an
organization by the election of former
Mayor John deP. Doiiw, of Annapolis,
as chairman, and Samuel P. Chew, of
the First district. Secretary. Former
Sheriff Frank S. Revel), of the Third
district, is the iliird member of ihe
committee.
Following the organization the mem
bers designated city alderman John
j Taylor, of the second ward, as Treas
urer of the campaign funds for the
coming November election. There fol
lowed an informal discussion of other
I matters pertaining to campaign plans.
This subject, however, was scheduled
to be given more serious consideration
at a meeting of tho several candidates
nominated at the primaries, which
was held in the grand jury room of
the Court House later in the day.
1 The fact that the meeting of the
Central Committee, as well as the
conference of the candidates had been
called for today, drew many Demo
jerats of prominence of the several dis
tricts to (lie city, in spite of the In
clement weather. And the feeling that
harmony within the ranks is steadily
I being solidified, made itself evident in
course of the informal conferences be
lwon groups of th district leaders.
The Democrats realize they have a
hard fight ahead of them in the im
pending campaign, but it is believed
that all old differences will be cast,
aside, and that the parly will present
a united front for the November elec
tion.
