BUT CHILDS DISCUSSES SUGAR SITUATION j HERE Hit ANNAPOLIS Senior Member Of Local Firm Says Outlook Is Not Encouraging QUOTES SUGAR DEALERS W. F. Childs, senior member of the well known local firm, W. F. Childs A- Son, one of the largest dealers in sugar and other goods in the town, ap preciating th.e acute stage of the sugar situation in Annapolis, gave the fol low .ng interview to the Capital yester day: “I read with interest your paper of Thursday, October 9, with reference Ito the sugar situation here and else where. I cannot sec where the C. I) Kenny Co., of Baltimore, have been |able to get such encouraging reports I have no doubt that they have large supplies on hand as they are among the largest, if not the largest. Handlers of sugar in Baltimore. We have made no effort to get sugar of this flr:n. Will say, however, that if our trade had been dependent upon the Balti more distributors for sugar, there would have been an extreme scarcity in the supply. “My lirm, the entire season, would have had no sugar had not the Frank lin Sugar Company, of Philadelphia, come to the rescue. We do not 'know what would have become of tlie fruits in this section. I find during the sea son that Baltimore has furnished us with four thousand pounds, the Frank lin Sugar Refining Co., with one hun dred and ten thousand pounds; or 106 thousand pounds more than we were able to get from three Baltimore firms, although we have had orders tilled and promises of shipments.

The declaration is a sweeping one, and commendable on their part to show that they have the proper spirit looking to the preser vation of strict discipline among the 'student body. It was therefore, re | reived w ith pleasture by the authori ties. it will not, however, deter Admiral Scales from pursuing the investiga tion which he has launched. On the contrary, lie stated today that lie will go ahead with all possible vigor in an effort to discover to what extent haz ing has existed In the past, at leaHt since lie took charge of affairs at the academy several months ago. The declaration made hy the mid shipmen reads as follows: "We, the undersigned members of the regiment of midshipmen, realizing the gravity of current rumors as to re cent incidents which have been re puted to be caused by hazing, desiring to correct these impressions and at the same time endeavoring to make a recurrence of such reports impossible, do hereby solemnly affirm that, "Recent newspaper reports cover ing the action of two midshipmen are a mere handfull of invidious and gen eral statements. The reference'to hazing in these cases has no founda tion in fact, nor has proof been offer ed to substantiate them. “In order that there may be no re currence of reports sodistasteful to all members of the regiment, not to men (Continued on Page Four)
