CIVIC LEAGUE SOON
TO BE REORGANIZED
FOR WINTER’S WORK
Annual Meeting To Be Held At Munl
eljMl Building Next Tuesday,
October 11
In the absence of the president of
(the Woman’s Civic league of Annapo
lis a meeting of this body lias been
called by the vice-president, Mrs. R. 1).
Tisdale, and is to he held in the As
sembly Rooms of the Municipal Build
iig on October 14, at 4 p. m. There are
i many questions to come before this
ineeting and there is to he an election
of delegates to the annual meeting of
the Woman’s Civic League, of Mary
land, held this year in Cambridge.
The local League is a live member
of this body, pay their dues, and it is
desired a good representation. Dur
ing the summer there have been no
meetings and the question is being ask
ed frequently: "is the Civic League
dead? The answer to this is that
i nothing that is needed as much as a
| body like this can die. . What is born
of a community spirit and a civic con
science cannot die.
That is the immortal part, of any
body politic. They are only near citi
zens, hut whatever concerns govern
ment concerns women; whatever con
cerns women, concerns government.
Every woman who ever was interested
in the Civic League of Annapolis is
urged to come to the meeting on Tues
day next. It is hoped to have a talk
from the new mayor, who so earnestly
desires co-operation of all workers for
the interests of the city, and who
shows himself interested in every ef
fort for the benefit of the community.

1 OF GRIDIRON VICTORY
College Team And Backers Feel
Hopeful Of Favorable
Outcome
THE PROBABLEP LINE-U
No time during the preliminary 11
work of the St, John’s eleven .ti
found the team and its baek >rs with |
higher hope of victory over the W;f h-!
ington College team in the grid Hatll - j
tomorrow than they feel on the eve
of the contest. The program planned
by the students is an extensive and
high-spirited one. They hiv * char
tered the steamer Susq.tehnnnn.v to
make the trip across to Chestertown,
carrying the student body and all of
thp St. John’s fans who wish to jour
ney with them. "
Byway of amusement on hoard the*
steamer, lula’s orchestra, of Balti
more, the same orchestra which fur
nished music for all rtf the college
hops last year, has been on gag d te
play for dancing (hiring both laps of
the trip.
In spite of a serif?s of misfortunes
which have put some of the best
weignt of the team out of play part
of it even for the entire season Coach
Lentz feels confidence in his team and
views tlie game at Chestertown tomor
row as being a probable victory. AH
of the cadets, too, feel confidence in
their team, and the football squad it
self has no fear concerning the con
flict.
In yesterday’s practice the line-up.
which was put through the actual
work of the game with a selected sec
ond team, was the same that will it
probably he used against Chestertown. I
It follows:
Left end, Dell or Street; left tackle.
Sarks or Brown; left guard. Batty;
center. McKenney; right guard, Wil
son; right tackle. Smith; right end,
Marty or Banfield; quarterback. Sera
ler; left halfback. Aldridge or Kelso;
right halfback, Robertson; fullback.
Ridgley.
Probably a few of the men will go
on the field with minor injuries, hut,
it is felt that they will not be impeded 1
in their play to any appreciable ex- :
tent. ‘ 1

According to custom of meeting, the
second Monday in the month, the f
Mayor and City Aldermen w ill Hold i }
their regularly monthly session on J ,
Monday night in the Council Chamber!
at the Municipal Building, Duke of; j

Besides regular routine business, ,
the question of the removal of the fish ■

it, will come up for discussion. There
is a disposition on the part of some ,
of them to have the fish market re
moved within the enclousure of the (
market house rather than spend ad- ,
ditional money on repairs needed at
its present location on the city dock.

“1 drank the iodine hurried
ly and without thinking on the
impulse of tlte moment. 1 did

grabbed the 1 (title and drank
it.
“1 didn't want to come to the

it from the beginning, but stay
ed through the summer in or
der not to disappoint ntv ftiher
and to give it a teed. \\ hen the
academic year opened I got 1 e
hind in studies and didn’t like
the atmosphere of Hie whole
place.
"I was no: subjected to any
hazing. 1 was run like the rest
and no more than others of my
class, such as standing at at
tention. doing stoop falling,
answering questions, etc. It
wasn't the running, but just,
that I couldn't stand the whole
place, i could never get along
here and that made it hard
. . 1 thought I could never
get along here and that made
it hard and I wanted to get out.
1 don’t blame it on any run
ning. or hazing, or any part uv
ular tiling.
"There was no immediate
reason or particular thing tint
caused me to drink it. Noth
ing unusual had happened just
1 efore it. 1 had just got lack
from drill and was discouraged
and depressed. I -don't know

Washington, Oct. 10.— Aeording to a
bulletin issued by Rear-Admiral Gray
son. l>r. Stitt and Dr, Sterling Ruffin,
of this city, today. President Wilson
had another restful night and his phy
sicians are satisfied with the nourish
ment he is taking.
The bulletin follows:
"11:20 a. m.—The President had
another restful night. His appetite
has continued to improve and he N
now taking as much food and of as
great a variety as we desire.”
Despite the progress the President
is making, which has greatly encour
aged his physicians, they insist that a
long period of rest and quiet which
has been prescribed for him, be rigid
!v adhered to. as Dr, Grayson said that
it would not be safe to do other than
follow this course of treatment.
Dr. Francis X. Derciim, the Phila
delphia neurologist, is Expected to so*
the President tomorrow and Dr. Gray
son said he intended to have Dr. Der
cum come from Philadelphia about
once a week until the President had
recovered entirely.
A talking mtchine ha 3 been placed
in the President’s room and lie is en
tertained at intervals with music. Mrs
Wilson also continues to read light
prose and short poems to him.
BUT LITTLE SUGAR NOW
ON SALE IN ANNAPOLIS
Inquiry at a number of local stores
this morning revealed the fact that
the sugar situation is acute. But little
sugar is on sale, and at some stores
it was imposible to secure a single
pound. Granulated snga'r is at a
premium, and it is difficult to secure
any brown sugar.
It was stated by the agent of the
Tolohestcr Company that among the
vast amount of freight brought here
today from Baltimore and consigned
to the several merchants, but .100
pounds of sugar was received, and this
was consigned but to two local mer
chants. It is understood by the deal
ers that the sugar condition here will
be much more acute than during the
war unless something now unforeseen
happens to relieve the situation.
TANKS FOR GOV’T TUGS
AT CHANCE’S RAILWAY
For the past two days huge water
tanks and smoke stacks have been
hauled on motor trucks through the
streets and over Spa creek bridge to
Chance’s Marine Construction railway.
The four tanks which are being
shipped here and two smoke stacks
are for use in government tugs being
built at the local railway by order of
the Shipping Board, and will be used
in vessels of the Emergency fleet.
It is expected that one of the tugs,
that is nearing completion, will be
launched here on October 25.

j 2:30 o’clock.
The Hopkins lads are coming to An
napolis with a measure of confidence
that they will he able to give the mid
dies a hard rub, according to report
coming from the camp of the Black
and Blue players, this, despite the fact
h it the sailors do not anticipate much )
! difficulty in disposing of their op- j
ponents. The middies have generally
| found the Baltimoreans comparatively
easy picking in previous years.
The last scrimmage before tomor
row’s game with Hopkins took place
at the Academy yesterday. Today
here will he only signals and other
light practice.
An easy victory over Hopkins is ex

POSTOFFICE DOORS TO
CLOSE AFTER 10 P. M.
Although diligent inquiry has been,
made with the hope of apprehending j
the person or persons wh* smashed
one of the plate glass windows in tlie
lobby of the city postoftlce a few
lights ago, no clue as to the guilty
has been uncovered.
In the meantime, not only has the
glass been replaced, but Postmaster
Thomas J. Linthicum has pushed his
plans looking to new regulations re- j
lative to keeping the building open j
throughout the night* for the purpose I
if permitting persons to deposit mail
matter. His plan is to have the main
loors locked after the clerical force
lisposes of the final consignments of
mails about 10 O’clock at night, and
to place on the outside a mail box for
the depository of all matter which per
sons may wish to have go through on
'ho first mail of the following morn
ing.
Postmaster Linthicum, speaking fur
ther of the matter today, stated that
not only did the breaking of the win
dow move'him to definite steps, but
that he had entertined such a plan for
some time, because of the fact that
many persons have made it a practice
i o make the lobbyy of the Federal
building a loafing place at nights, and j
; as a result there have been frequent
instances of other depredations.

I The government tug Standish, old
est of vessels, both in point of con

! no more.
Naval Academy authorities were ad
i vised today that the tug, which was
j sent .to the Norfolk Navy Yard about
I two weeks ago, to piss inspection of
| a Board of survey, lias been declared
| unfit for further use in the naval
j service.
All of which means that she will
finally be placed out of service and
■ eventually he consigned to the scrap
heap or sold for junk. The Standish <
had been used at the local naval sta- I
j tion for many years for utility pur
poses, and she was always a familiar
craft along the race course of upper (
Severn river, bearing crowds of de- .
votees of rowing, on the occasions of
the races between eight-oared crews ,
of the midshipmen and universities '
and colleges.
Officials of* the academy have also;.

IMPROVE, HAZING
INQUIRY GOES ON
Wetherstine, In Statement, Says
He Don’t Know Why He
Drank lodine
CONGRESS IS ON ALERT
Although Rear-Admiral A. H Scales.
Superintendent of the Naval Academy,
who yesterday launched upon an in
vestigation of the alleged hazing
among the student body, no new de
velopments have been revealed, ac
cording to inquiry made at the admin
istration otfloos Hits morning
Announcement was made, however,
that the condition of the three middies
of the fourth class, who are patients
at the naval hospital, one as a result
of attempting to commit suicide,
another from drinking iodine, and a
third suffering of the effects of a com
plete nervous breakdown, continues to
improve. Henry C. Wetherstine, the
lad who, on Monday afternoon, drank
iodine from a small vial, gave a formal
statement to the authorities of the in
stitution to the effect that hazing did
not drive him to the act. hut he admit
ted that he had been a victim of "run
ning." the same as the rest of the
class.
Adm. Scales To Secretary.
Secretary Daniels of the Navy has
received a letter from Rear-Admiral
A. 11 Scales. Superintendent of the
Naval Academy, Inclosing two state
ments from Midshipman Philip Henry
Seltzer, who attempted to commit sui
cide some days ago. In the letter
Admiral Scales says:
"I shall use my utmost endeavor to
discover any hazing, no matter haw
mild, and if l do discover any I shall
ask you to visit the offender with the
penalty of the law. 1 am opposed to
basing, no matter how mild, and I
believe that my subordinates are In
utmost accord with me in this mat
ter."
Midshipman Seltzer’s statements
exeronerate the upper class men of
any blame for his attempt, by knife
and poison, to end his life
