FRANK HLADKV FINED
ON ASSAULT CHARGE;
' CHAS. WEBBER VICTIM
j On charge of assault preferred by
j i harles Webber, a resident of East
’ j port, Frank liladky, also a resident
1 j of the village, was adjudged guilty
, Saturday afternoon following a hear
ing before police justice William S.
Welch, of the city, and assessed a
tine of sr, and costs, which he paid.
The assault which was committed
on last Friday night, was the culmi
nation or a quarrel between the two
men. It seems that the two men got
into a discussion over the form of
invitation extended the ladies of the
village recently in connection with an
entertainment in their honor and in
recognition of the valuable assistance
rendered by them at the annual Car
nival given by the East port Volun
teer Fire Company.
The trouble began at a meeting held
in the firemen's hall Friday night and
was resumed later in front of the
residence of Mr. Hladky. Testimony
was given before Justice Welch to
the effect that Hladky, among other
things, called Webber a "yellow
streak.” Hladky is a much larger
i man than Webber. It was alleged that
Hladky and his 12-year-old son, both
were engaged in the attack upon
Webber. The latter, at least showed
a discolored eye and bruises and
scratches about the face when he ap
peared before Justice Welch.

Ij DELIVERS LECTURE
Dr. Shepherd, Of New York,
Who Served With Admiral,
Speaks To Middies And Offi
cers Of Incidents In Life Of
Naval Hero
L
, MAKES PLEA FOR
PRESERVING SHIP
i
A lecture by one of the old-timers in
. the navy, a man who saw his service |
during the Civil War as a signal boy
on the flagship of Admiral Farragut,
. the midshipmen of the Naval Academy,
on Saturday night, enjoyed one of the
most interesting talks that has ever
been delivered at the Institution con
cerning the great naval heroes of the
United States.
The lecture was given bv Doctor
Charles H. Shepherd, of New York
City, whose relation with Admiral Far
ragut was intimate and of long dura
tion. Doctor Shepherd's lecture de
scribed the actions of the Civil War. in
which the ship Richmond of Admiral
Farragut’s fleet had a part. Doctor
: hepherd at the time of the war was
himself a flag boy on board the Rich
mond. The rank which he held at that
time has long since been abolished, (
and ho is one of the few living men
who served in that capacity in the
United States Navy. The post of flag
hoy was one which was held even at
the time of the war by a very limited
number of yosths. It was one in
which the holder was allowed to have
free access to all parts of the ship.
The signal hoy was one of the few who
was allowed to go to the truck.
Farragut Amused
“One of the special requirements of
the signal boy was that he have very
keen sight,” said Doctor Shepherd in
his lecture; and in this relation he
told a very interesting and amusing
incident.

DOWN IN U-BOATS
Seniors Have First Experience
In Undersea Maneuvers —De-
stroyer Divisions Sail
Seventy midshipmen of the first
class at the Naval Academy will have
their first experience in undersea
navigation this afternoon.
The presence in the river of seven
submarines which comprise a divis
ion of the Atlantic fleet, they having
arived here on Saturday morning, led
the authorities of the academy to ar
range for that many seniors to reap
the benefit of a little practical work
along this line. The complement ot
7u students will be distributed ten
to each vessel, and the fleet will pro
ceed out into the bay to engage in
a series of maneuvers for a couple
of hours.
The undersea craft are scheduled
to sail from Annapolis tomorrow and

ACCURACY SHOWN IN
BOMBING FROM PLANES
Ability of aircraft to hit battle
ships with bombs was amply demon
strated in experiments concluded with
the old battleship Indiana. Nava!
>flicials declared that a high percent
ige of hits had been registered Iron
the air on the deck of the ship anch
a red in Chesapeake Bay.
A squadron of naval planes, flying
U heights ranging from 4,000 to 8,000
feet, rained nonexplosive bombs on
her as the first phase of tests, it wai
said. The effect of loaded bombs on
lifferent parts of, the battleship’s
structure will be carried out, offieails
said, by placing in the desired posi
'ions loaded bombs and setting them
off.

Speaking Of Enforcement Of
19th Amendment, Judge Moss
Charges Grand Jury That State
And Local Laws Are Directly
Involved
BRAZEN GAMBLING'
ALSO REFERRED TO
With Judge Robert Moss presiding,
he Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
•minty, w ,i; convened this morning
for the regular grand jury term.
Although some delay was occasion
'd in the segregation of the members
if the gland inquest which is gen
rally tin first item of business of
he tribunal, because of the lateness
n the arrival of three of the panel
if talesmmi. this did not retard the
ictual work of the Court, as Judge
Boss immediately proceeded with a
inul calling of the docket. The
locket had previously been given a
precursorv review. Judge Moss hav
ng called the several lawyers to
gether last Wednesday .in order to
facilitate the work, and fix dates for
he hearing of a number of the cases.
Charging the members of the
Jrand Jury, Judge Moss laid special
•mphasis upon four points, namely:
he Baltimore City piggery menace
in Bodkin Creek, in the Third dis
riet; tin* lewd and disorderly con
luet repot er along the Annapolis
mil Baltimore boulevard; the import
nice of county officials giving the
fullest possible co-operation to the
Federal authorities in the enforcement
if the liquor laws; and the suppres
don of the wide-open gambling and
rap-shooting currently said to exist
u Annapolis and elsewhere in the
•ounty.
As to the piggery. Judge Moss sug
gested to Foreman Joseph (). Fowler,
if the Grand Jury, to appoint today
i committee of three or live members
;o meet the County Health Officer.
i)r. J. J. Murphy, tomorrow morning
mil go to the premises on Bodkin
'reek and ascertain precisely what
he conditions are there, to the end
that a1! necessary steps be taken
accordingly.
In tint part of his charge on the
subject of liquor law enforcement
Judge Mess made a strong appeal in
■hat behalf, saying that it is not so
much bad laws that any community
need fiugr, for these can be repealed,
but winking at salutary laws and
laxity m their enforcement. He said
while the Nineteenth Amendment was
a part of the Federal Constitution,
the states made it so and should co
operate for law and order under it.
\lso that for every violation of the
Amendment a counterpart could be
found of violation of a State or local
law, so 'hat aUtogether good citizen
ship a'ml law enforcement demanded
that the spirit as well as the letter of
the law be upheld This, he said, was
a duty directly incumbent upon the
local officials and the grand jury is
to be looked to to correct any wrongs
or weaknesses in that direction.
Another point in Judge Moss’
charge of particular interest to An
napolis and vicinity is that referring
to th* brazen gambling reported to
be going on around here and for
fabulous sums, for not a rich com
munity. He said that it has been
commerted on that high-powered au
tomobiles came here from Baltimore
and elsewhere. even on Sunday and
by night, and that the visitors stood
, on the side lines with money in hand
