MASON AND STATE SCORE EHBilY'S FLEET RIDDLED Subcaliber- Snots Hit Moving Gallant Brigade Of Elks Preparing To Capture "Philly." The final preparatory drill of the Balti more Elks, who are to go to the Philadelphia convention July 15 to 20, was held last night at the Fourth Regiment Armory. The members of the local lodge have been drilling weekly and are sufficiently well drilled to make a good show.

There will be about 400 Baltimoreans in the Philadelphia parade. Col. "Jack Hanson has been putting the men through drill stunts. Colonel Hanson was a member of a militia company years ago. There are captains galore in this herd of Elks.

The captains did not know as much about drilling as Colonel Hanson, Jbut proved to be bright, receptive fellows and quickly improvised orders which were more comprehensible than those formulated by Upton and Improved upon by Colonel Hanson. When the men were formed by dint of suasion and pushing into an alleged line of company front one captain was heard explaining to his company "Now, brothers, if you stood like you do now you would1 block even a Philadelphia street, so when I eay fours right, you break in half and each four gets behind the other four until the car gets by. See But when you are in a line like you are now and have to turn to go up another street you swing like a gate and every man is a part of the gate. Now you must bear these orders In mind. Understand Just then the Colonel Issued an order to the effect that those In line must jstop smoking and chewing, as they did not own the armory.

Some of the men in the drill ing line were just In the act of handing others a cigar and other were puffing away heroically after the walk they had been given. Wilbert Robinson, of baseball fame, was one of tne captains and be nad more knowledge of the game than the others. He had drilled once a year at the opening game with his ball team. Robbie company, by accident, made a really creditable company front wheel and the Captain yelled to the Colonel: "How's that, Mr. Umpire?" The unfortunates were the flag mark ers.

They had to keep busy getting out of the way of drillers as they came to turning points. After the Elks got spread out over the big hall it occurred to the Colonel that there was such a thing accompanies keep ing proper distance, and he yelled "Walt a minute if you fellows get separated like you are you will be three squares be hind the band. Try and keep up." 1 When Colonel Hanson's voice could no longer be heard saying, "Left, et left he sent for a drum, but he did not know how to beat It, though he confined his work to one stick.

Then he was asked toexplain why It was necessary to take sucn action when be had said It had all been paid in. Mr. Dobbin declared he did not know, exeept that there was some misunderstand ing regarding the underwriting. The directors at the meeting and those who were back of the underwriting declared they were acting in good faith, he said, and agreed to put up doljar for dollar. It was then that Mr.

Dobbin said Mr. Baker had taken a big block of stock In a friend's name. With an expense account as the founda tion for the examination, Mr. O'Dunne fired away at Mr. Dobbin.

"What Is this $200 that was advanced to you?" he asked. A. For a while I did not get any sal ary and then at first my salary was small, so $200 was advanced to me before I was being paid. Mr. Dobbin spoke slowly, and finally Mr.

O'Dunne blurted out "Was It legitimate or graft 7" Mr. Dobbin It was legitimate, for if it had been graft I would not have touched it. Q. Did you ever make the remark, "That's all the graft I ever got out of It?" A. No, sir.

Assistant State's' Attorney Emory L. Stinchcomb took Mr. Dobbin in hand later and he asked the secretary about some pa pers. Nearly all of them were reports, but every one asked for could not be found. Mr.

Dobbin said he had searched everywhere, but had found no such documents. Mr. Stinchcomb carried Mr. Dobbin over several other points regarding sales of st6ck before he finally turned the witness over to Mr. Straus.

Objection Sustained. The first thing Mr. Straus did was to try to get an agreement between the Munich Reinsurance Company and the United Surety Company In evidence, but Messrs. O'Dunne and Stinchcomb objected. The prosecution declared nothing had been brought out in the direct examination regarding the agreement and that the defense could not cross-examine the witness, on such a matter.

Judges Burke and Duncan sustained the objection. Mr. Straus Who were the gentlemen vou referred to as being at those meetings A. Directors of the United Surety Com pany. q.

Q. Did he have anything to do with the cancellation or relssulne of the stock to the German Bank? A. Not to my knowledge. Q. Was there any greater intimacy between Rrvan and Mason than between Bryan and anyone else? A.

Not that I noticed. q. Did you ever see them acting in con federation or combination A. I did not. O.

You were In New York several times with Mr. Bryan. Was Mr. Mason ever with you? A. No.

N. Baker, Joseph C. France and Edgar H. Gans. As-soon as the meeting began the storm broke, he said, for Mr.

J. Markland Marshall declared he represented the Munich, Reinsurance Company and he claimed certain misrepresentations had been made regarding the subscription of his company. After his statement, Mr. Dobbin said, the gentlemen who were back of the underwriting declared they were standing by their action and would pay dollar for dollar. Mr.

Dobbin said it was then that the New Yorkers announced they would prosecute criminally and then cancel the agreement between the Munich Reinsurance Company and the United Surety Company. After a heated discussion, the secretary declared 2,312 shares were subscribed for as the gentlemen heard the roll called. This Information was brought out, Mr. Dobbin said, by an investigation which Mr. Edgar H.

Gans was engaged to make. All the subscribers agreed to pay Mr. Bernard N. Baker on the Monday. All the money, Including $15,000 from Mr.

Mason, was in Mr. Baker's hands at the appointed time, the witness said in conclusion. ADVENTISTS IN CAMP Elder Fitzgerald Presides At "Gar-denville Gathering.

It 13 just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still ia nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically made food on the market. It is per- fectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is Whenmilk or water is used, a little should be added, but when cold' cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar is not poured over the granules, as soma people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture. This, in effect, is the; first act of digestion; therefore, Grape-: Nuts food is predigested and is most perfectly assimilated by the very weak- 1 est stomach. "There's a Reason."

Yoianj? "Woman Resriatered As Sin. Mar E. Maler, Annapolla. A neatly attired woman about S3 years old, who registered at the Hotel Hermann, Pratt and Eutaw streets, about 9 P. M.

Monday as Mrs. May E. Maier, of Annapolis, was found dead in her, room shortly after 3P.1I. yesterday. Though her death was attended with unusual features It is thought to have been due to natural causes.

Dr. Patrick F. Martin, coroner of the West, ern district, has been notified and will make an Investigation today. The body was removed to the morgue In the Western dis trict patrol wagon. Mrs.

Maler was a stranger at the hotel, never having stopped there before. She en tered the office alone Monday night and ex plained to the clerk that she had been calling on some friends. She is also said to have remarked that she was suffering from indigestion, as the result of the supper fihe had eaten. As her condition did not seem serious and she made no further complaint she was assigned to a room on the second floor and promptly retired. Her failure to arise yesterday morning caused no particular anx iety, though at noon one of yie maids rapped on the door.

Getting no response several attempts to arouse the occupant were made between that time and 3 P. M. All being futile Sergeant Lurs was called Into the hotel and asked to make an in vestigation. He broke open the door and found the woman lying in bed apparently She had some evidences of blood about the cor. ners of her mouth and her artificial teeth were held firmly in her right hand.

These conditions seemed to indicate that she had been attacked with a severe case of nausea and perhaps ruptured an artery. Mrs. Maler was very respectable in ap pearance, attired In black from head to foot, and had black hair and eyes. She paid in advance for her room for the night.

The present rate of $250 a year is sufficient.

If the rate Is Increased the result will be the closing of many saloons, because they will be unable to maintain themselves.

That the merger alleged" to exist between the Postal Telegraph Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company in New York is not operating In this city was the substance of statements made by the man agers of the local branches of the two com panies yesterday. Mr. V. J. Albert, manager of the Baltl more office of the Postal Telegraph Com pany, said "This office Is not an executive office, and Is subordinate to the central and executive office in New York.

Therefore I cannot make an authoritative statement, although I feel confident that the alleged merger does not exist. That there 13 no compact existing between the two companies In this city, i state aennltely. "When the rates were raised I suppose It was done because it was a necessity. Both companies had, necessarily, to raise the rates, as the public could not very well do business with a company that had lower or higher rates than a competing company, The question of raising the rates has been considered for some time, and the enly rea son I can assign for the failure to put the increased rates into operation soon Is that the company evidently hesitated doing so because it thought it would come too sud denly and injure the business." Mr. J.

W. Creamer, manager of the Baltimore office of the Western Union Tele graph Company, said "I am not authorized to make any statement, as all official statements emanate from, our New York office. I will say, how ever, that the conditions are the same In Baltimore as in any other city. I have no knowledge of any consolidation or merger with any other telegraph When this company raised its rates it assigned the causes for doing so, and beyond that I know absolutely nothing of the compact alleged to exist in New York." Star-Spangled Banner" On Ex-" hibition At Smithsonian. "WILL REMAIN THERE 2 YEARS Owner; Recently Wrote To Mayor Mahool That He Believed That It Should Come To Baltimore.

The old garrison' flag which floated over Fort McHenry during its bombardment by the British on the night of September 13 and the morningof September 14, 1814, was yesterday turned over to the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, for temporary exhibition purposes. It is the flag which Francla Scott Key saw and which gave him the Inspiration for "The Star-Spangled Banner." It Is, therefore, vthe original "star-spangled banner," bo far as Its association with the national anthem is concerned. The flagTls the property of Mr. Eben Ap- pleton, of New York, who recently expressed his belief in a letter to Mayor Ma hool that it should be placed permanently in the custody of the city of Baltimore, and the Mayor therefore has hopes of securing the relic. It has been lent to the Smithsonian In stitution for a period of two years at the personal solicitation of Dr.

Charles D. Walcott, the new secretary of the Institu tion. It is an Immense banner, measuring 28 by 30 feet, and shows the effect of both battle and age. It was placed on exhibi tion in the rotunda of the National Museum in a large glass cabinet. As it is draped in the bottom of the cabinet only one of the large stars of the flag is visible.

This star measures about a foot In diame ter. As very little of the flag can be seen in Its present position, where it is rolled and crumpled, it is the intention of the Smithsonian authorities to drape the banner upon one 'of the walla of the Hall of History of the museum. Mr. Baylor's Account. Mr.

James B. Baylor, of, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, of this city, who Is a relative of Mr. Appleton, says 'that Colonel Armistead, who com manded Fort McHenry during the bom bardment, had It conveyed to his headquar ters. He later gave It to his mother, who was a sister of Mr. Baylor's great-great- grandmother.

Mr. Baylor said that some years later Colonel Armistead' mother pre sented the flag to her granddaughter, wno married one of the Appletons of Boston and New York, and later Mr. Eben Apple-ton came into possession of it. In his let ter to Dr. Walcott, Mr.

Appleton Bays that he is pleased to lend the flag to the Smith sonian, bo as to give opportunity to Ms countrymen to view the ensign which In spired the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." History Recited In The following', label was put in the cabi net in which, the flag was placed on exhibition: "Mr. Francis Scott Key, then a resident of Georgetown, D. had been requested to go to Admiral Cochrane to eoliclt the release of Dr. Beanes, of Upper Marlbor ough. Md who had been taken prisoner by the British.

With John S. Skinner, of Baltimore, on the cartel ship Mlnden, un der a flag of truce, he met the British ships at the mouth of the Potomac preparing to attack Baltimore. Admiral Cochrane agreed to release Dr. Beanes, but not at once, de taining them all-with the British fleet. They were placed temporarily on board the Surprise, but when- the fleet sailed up Chesapeake bay they were sent back to the Mlnden with a guard of marines to prevent their landing and conveying information to their countrymen.

The Mlnden was an chored within sight of Fort McHenry, and from her deck the three friends observed the fierce bombardment of the fort that goon ensued. The firing ceased before dawn September 14, 1814, but the anxious Americans were in doubt as to the fate of the fort. During the bombardment. while pacing the deck of the Minden be tween midnight and dawn, Key composed the present national anthem. Key and his two friends were released in the morn lng after the failure of the British both on land and water.

With the aid of Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, of Baltimore, brother-in-law of Key, the song was hur rledly printed and circulated throughout the city and sung to the familiar air of "This was the first application of the epithet 'star-spangled banner to the.

There is an opening in the circle of sufficient size to enable him to get out. The speed which he has to make to successfully make this circle is tremen dous, and the performance is calculated to give thrills a plenty to the spectators Following this performance Mr. Holden does another act scarcely less remarkable when he plunges head foremost from height of 94 feet Into a tank containing teet or water. Mr.

Holden will give afternoon and evening performances daily the rest of the week. Rev. Dr. D. B.

On TELLS OF STORMY MEETING Representative Of Munich Reinsurance Company Threatened To Prosecute, He Sara. With perspiring face and wjlted collar, Mr.

Robert A. Dobbin, secretary of the United Surety Company, had everything his own way yesterday during the trial at of Mr. Walter A. Mason, former president of the Commercial and Farmers' National Bank. He was the only witness placed on the stand by the prosecution, to tell what he could to prove the charge of conspiring to defraud the Munich Reinsurance Company of $49,500, upon which Mr.

Mason Is being tried. For nearly five hours the secretary stood, and the manner In which counsel for both sides fired questions at him was anything but comfortable on a day so warm. But his testimony proved to be Important to both sides, and they piled one question upon another, to strengthen their respective causes. After he had stepped down court was adjourned for the day, and the counsel on each side began to sum up how they had fared. The defense claims three points and the State declares much was gained by tb admission of evidence to show what had transpired at the stormy, and what Mr.

Eugene O'Dunne terms "the midnight," meeting of the directors of the United Surety Company August 25. It Is probable Mr. Dobbin will be compelled to suffer more to day, for the end did not appear to be in sight when the curtain was lowered on the day's proceedings. Stocks Subscribed Hurriedly. Mr.

Dobbin testified that all the stock of the United Surety Company had been subscribed for and paid in before March SO. He also said that during the stormy meeting of August 25, when representatives of the Munich Reinsurance Company de clared they would not only deny their con tract with the United Surety Company, out wouia prosecute cnmmaiiy, au me un derwritten stock had been paidup by subscriptions taken by the directors. All the cosh, too, he said, was paid over before 3 P. M. August 27.

Many prominent men. such as Robert Garrett, Bernard N. Baker and other financiers, took a large number or snares that night, be said, and Bome New Yorkers who admired the stand the Baltimoreans took subscribed. Mr. Walter A.

Mason, the defendant, subscribed for 100 shares at $150 a share, he testified, and paid his money with the others. Aside from those two points, upon which the defense based their claims of a field day, Mr. Dobbin, when cross-examined by Mr. Isaac Lobe Straus, was taken over all the examination In chief with regard to his dealings with Mr. Bryan.

To all the questions he replied that Mr. Mason knew 'of none of the transactions to his knowledge That point the counsel for Mr. Mason also looked upon as one in their favor. The prosecution seemed particularly when Mr. Dobbia was asked by Mr.

Straus to read the minutes of the stormy midnight meeting. Mr. Dobbin read them and told of the Investigation of the affairs of the company made Vy Mr. Edgar H. Gans, who found that number of shares of underwritten stock which was subscribed for at the same meeting.

No End Of Detail And Figures. Like the opening day, the trial was slow, run or endless detail, vast bunches of fig ures and many books. One of the jurors nodded suspiciously several times during the day, and one of the witnesses slumbered peacefully until Mr. Straus announced that court would adjourn for the day. nhen called to the stand Mr.

Dobbin was asked to tell about the transaction betw-Bfti himself and Mr. Bryan as president of the surety company regarding the snares or stock taken out In his name. He said Mr. Bryan told him they were to be taken by gentlemen connected with the German Bank, but that he mentioned no names, tor the shares he gave two notes, he said. A few days later, Mr.

Dobbin testified, one of the certificates for 1G7 shares of the stock taken out In his name was canceled and transferred to the German Bank. Later, he declared, the other was canceled and a certificate issued for 100 shares, which also was taken by the German Bank. A certificate for 67 shares of the stock still remained in his name, he said, until Mr. Bryan canceled it again. Mr.

Dobbin Toole Stock. The last time it was canceled two certificates were issued In Its stead, he declared, one for 50 shares and the other for 17 shares. Mr. Dobbin said he had desired to carry some of the stock for himself, and the certificate of 50 shares was placed in his name. The certificate, he said, he deposited as collateral for $3,000, which he borrowed through the office of a local banking firm.

After March SO, Mr. Dobbin admitted, someone came along and bought his shares. Mr. O'Dunne questioned Mr. Dobbin at great length on that point.

Mr. Dobbin said that on March 30 there were 67 shares of stock in his name and he admitted that he did not know whether they were paid for or not. He said as soon as the stock was Issued he turned It over to Mr. Bryan, thinking that the 67 shares of stock came under the same transaction as the underwriting for the 334 shares, which he had been told were for the German Bank. Then the notes for $25,050 each given -by Mr.

Dobbin were placed in evidence, and he Said they were given to cover the underwriting of the stock. The minutes of a meeting held December SO, 1905, were called for and it was then that Messrs. O'Dunne and Straus had a little tilt. "Flippant," Says Mr. Straus.

"les, get the minutes I Get the min utes demanded Senator Whyte. "Wait and I'll give you a whole boxful of minutes," replied the counsel for the prosecution. Immediately Mr. Straus was on his feet. "The language of the counsel for the other he said, "is flippant." Then Mr.

O'Dunne flushed up. "It is not for the counsel on the other side to say whether or not ray language Is he said, "and I askthe Court to protect me from such remarks." The sweltering spectators saw the humorous side of the tilt and enjoyed the diversion. After the meeting in question, which was attended by Messrs. Mason and Bryan and several directors of the United Surety Company, Mr. Dobbin said Mr.

Bryan asked him for some blank notes, declaring they were to be used for underwriting and he would explain later. While Mr. Mason was there, Mr. Dobbin declared, he could not say he heard Mr. Bryan explanation.

Four notes for $33,830.12 were made-payable to the Commercial and Farmers' Bank and all were paid at different times. Admits Giving; Note. Once more Mr. O'Dunne questioned Mr Dobbin about the 167 shares of stock he took out at the direction of Mr. Bryan, which he said 6ome gentlemen from the German Bank wanted.

Mr. Dobbin ad mitted he had given a note, uhich he had in his possession on the stand. He could not explain what had happened to It and said it did not appear to have been used. Mr. O'Dunne How were the 766 shares of stock issued Mr.

Bryan divided Decem ber 30, 1005? A. Seven hundred and sixteen were made out to OHn Bryan as attorney and 50 shares were made out to him individually. Q. How long did the certificate for 716 shares remain? A. It was Issued February 2,7, 1906, and was, canceled March 31.

Q. How was it done? A. By Issuing 11 certificates to Mr. William V. Winchester.

Q. Who is Mr. Winchester? A. Mr. Bryan's nephew.

Q. How many shares were in Mr. Bryan's name, either as attorney or individu- ally, March 80? A. One thousand eight hundred and one shares in all. Q.

That would be A. Yes, sir. Q. What did Bryan give the surety company? A. I do not" know.

Q. Was any part of that amount paid in cash? A. I do not know; I presumed it covered underwriting. Q. You also had 67 shares in your name on March 30? A.

Yes, Q. pay real cash money for them up to that date? A. No, sir v- The "Underwriting Syndicate." Mr. O'Dunne then displayed, a. paper which he said was statement to the effect that Mr.

Olln Bryan and Air. Dobbin had become an underwriting syndicate, with 1,000 shares of stock for sale. Although he identified his signature, he said Letters From Readers Of The Sun On Subjects Of Interest. SOCIAL EQUAIITY-F0R NEGRO Bishop Turner's Address Construed To Urge This, According To A Correspondent. Messrs.

Editors: I beg to offer the following comments on Bishop Walters' address before the Afro-American Council recently held In Baltimore: What construction can any sane man put upon that address? Only one: Walters unqualifiedly and positively not only advocates political but social equality for the negro. He boldly 6ays the agitation 6hould not cease until a negro has a perfect right to walk up to a white woman, just the same as a white man. "He also denounces the "Jim Crow" law and his Invective against lynch law is extrenie. What does all this mean? It simply means that the fanatics of the North, the negrophllists, are determined to force upon the South negro equality, political and social. It means the negro leaders demand the repeal of the "Jim Crow" laws, the abolishment of negro schools, demanding mixed schools and, worst of all.

defend the brutes who commit those fearful outrages upon our noble women. This fanatic also upholds For-aker. in his defense of the Brownsville brutes who tried to "shoot 'up" the town and to place the blame upon the white citizens of Texas. This outspoken doctrine of negro equal ity can have but one effect npon the ne groes, and tnat is to excite ana encourage them in their acts of Infamy and to instill Into the minds of the young negroes ideas of political and social equality. Let the white people of this country accept at once Walters' challenge and let us show tnis Inferior race that we are the superior race, and that we intend to protecr our women and hang every black brute just as soon as the act Is committed and also that they cannot enjoy political equality nor ride with the white people of this country in our public conveyances.

Those outrageous utterances are the most extreme we have heard from any neero yet and sound a warning the people of our land would bet ter heed before It is too late. To talk about educating the negro to pursuits of Industry, such as farmers, mechanics, with such infernal doctrines preached Into their heads by. such fanatics aa Walters is impossible. It Is just such fanatics that will be the means of bringing on a war of races, and it is as inevitable as the fact that the sun shines. One or the other of the races must rule this country.

It must be the white man or the negro. There is another thing I do not nnder- stand. After Walters had delivered this outrageous and Inflammatory, address, an insult to every white man in this country. Dr. Cherry, of Baltimore, in tn place of the Mayor, welcomed this African council and assured them that the race to which he belonged is "only too glad to render you all the assistance that you may ask or desire, just so long as your people are struggling along worthy and meritorious lines," and then wished them 'a prosperous and successful convention." Is' it possible that after listening to this vile address he could wish them a "prosperous and sue cessful that after boldly ad vocating political and social equality, after going so far as to say a negro should have the right to approach a white woman just as a white man," after approving of For- aker's acts toward the people of the South, he could wish them In behalf of the Mayor and people of Baltimore "a prosperous and successful Well, as a Democrat and without any an thority to do so, in behalf of the good white Democrats of Baltimore, utterly re pudiate any such welcome and any such wish of success for the Afro-American Council.

I also say that 4f Mayor Mahool indorses and approves any such doctrines and-would welcome to the city any body of men expressing such sentiments he is a different man from what the Democrats believed him to be, and they, made a fearful mistake in electing him Mayor. In saying this I am aware that In his official capacity he is called upon to welcome any body of men coming to the city, but neither as a Democrat nor, as Mayor of Is he called upon, either in person or by representative, to welcome and wish a pros' perous convention to a body of negro fanatics denouncing "Jim Crow" law, approv ing or social equality, denouncing the Dem ocrats of Texas and upholding Foraker in his denunciations even after the Republican President has decided after a full investigation that the blacks in the army did snoot up Brownsville. I would suggest to Dr. Cherry, if he really entertains or approves of the actions of the Afro-American Council he should say so in his individual capacity and responsibility, and not speak for the true and loyal white Demo crats of Baltimore, who, I am confident, wish no such assembly "a successful and prosperous convention." 1 Joseph I.

Admire. Another View Of The Loving Case. Messrs.

Editors: "The Loving trial a farce," "the Loving trial a mistrial," so say men, women and newspapers. ''According to these people, Judge Loving should have been hung because he was a father, a feeling father and a Virginia father. The jury was a fake Jury, because it believed the young lady's statement to be true. A' young man went out driving with a young lady, who, by all rules of decency and chivalry, he was bound to Instead, he plied her with whisky and abused the confidence reposed in him.

"She took a drink of whisky," say Estes friends.

Johx S. Claeke. Arlington, Md, Targets At Fort Howard. NIGHT "ATTACK" IS EEPULSED Big Searchlights Discover Ship Trying To Run By Batteries In Darkness. The "enemy" was twice defeated yester day at Fort Howard, the regulars and militiamen in a morning "engagement" sending a deadly hall of projectiles through the ships that were trying to sneak Into Baltimore in broad daylight.

The projectiles were real, and the ships were three targets, kept moving from the end 6f a tow line from the tender Capt. John C. Gregg. The big mortars In their deep pits and the ponderous 12-inch, rifles were thje guns used in the action, and there were few shots that missed the "enemy." At night the time the Capt. John-C.

Gregg tried to slip by the fort and get into Baltimore. She was soon picked up by the great moving search lights, though, and after half an nours battle she was declared sunk. The morning "battle" was subcaliber practice, smaller projectiles being fired at less cost from the big guns. The batter les were manned by the regulars, with the militiamen looking on. Today the militia reserves will De tne ooys oemna tne guns, and the regulars will be the 'observers.

Mortars Do Their Share. The mortaTS did their work in putting the "enemy" out of action thoroughly and well, most of the projectiles fired in the air coming down at the place where tne range officer figured It would hit. The battery was commanded by Capt, Godwin Ordway. Lieut. S.

C. Card well waa range officer, and emplacement officers were Lieut. William M. Davis and Lieut. Rich ard Fnrnlval.

The mortars were manned by the Twenty-first and One Hundred ana Third Companies of Coast Artillery, with which the Third Battalion or tne Dirsij Maryland Infantry is working. The 12-Inch guns were manned by the Fortieth Company, associated with which is the First Company of'Maryland Coast Artillery, under the command or capt. bya ney B. Austin. A number of the men of the National Guard company were placed In the gun details In the engagement, having apparently made good artillerymen.

The battery was commanded by Capt. F. H. Lincoln. In the afternoon the mortars were again in action, being engaged for a few shots with a troublesome shin of the that refused to consider itself sunk ahd out of commission.

The Infantry's work for the morning consisted In eoinz out to the engineering "schoolroom," where trenches have been dusr. for some more instruction. This time a standing trenchwas dug. Capt. Guy H.

B. Smith, the Instructor, assigned the re ment, lecturing on hasty intrenchments and defenders of Baltimore. The two battalions acting as infantry wpr also instructed in outpost duty, con ducting themselves as the defenders of the defendsr of Baltimore. The Call To Arms At Night. The night ship-tracking drill, when the Gregg was caught, was an impressive spectacle.

At the signal of tne trumpets the men took their stations at guns, in tne ammunition chambers and the range towers. The powerful searchlights sprang into life at the starting of the electric generator and lichts blazed out in the gun pits and emplacements, making them almost as bright as day. But from the bay only a glimmer or two of light could be seen The searchlights, like great moving fin gers oi light, slowly swept the bay in search of the "enemy." Back and forth they moved, covering every thing at 6,000 yards range, silvering every little wavelet and searching, like Nemesis, for the "enemy." Meanwhile the men waited at the guns. the range finders and plotters waited in their towers, everyone ready to begin the mock fight There was no noise, no excite ment or anything else, but plain discipline on the part of the militiamen. At last one of the beams showed the Gregg, steaming right in for Baltimore.

The range was called down to the gunners, and soon the guns were in action, even if primers were the only- ammunition used and the noise of battle principally tne voices of the men calling down and re ceiving the range every 20 seconds. After it seemed an Impossibility that the Gregg was still afloat, the searchlights signaled her master to come in off the wet. In the evening the officers of the First Regiment entertained at supper Col. Clarence Deems, district commander, and the officers of the Coast Artillery Corps attached to Fort Howard. Governor To Review Troops.

Today will be a busy day for both regulars and militiamen. In the morning subcaliber practice will absorb a lot of attention, but In the afternoon Governor Warfield will be down to look the Maryland soldiers over. A review will be given him by the First Regiment, and a salute of 17 guns will be fired as Sie enters the reservation. The time of the review will be determined by circumstances, but it is expected to be given between 2 and 3 clock in the after noon. At night there will be another ship- tracking drill, with the Gregg again acting as the "enemy." Three First Infantrymen, obtaining per mission the other night to ride over to Bay Shore Park, took lots of pleasure in antic! patlng the long, foamy glass of the amber that they wanted.

They argued thus "Everybody drinking beer? Better had be, 'cause we've only got the price of three between us. Hope they're Pratt street size." When they found out that ginger beer was the limit and that lemon phosphate was really considered the better drink at Bay Shore Park their faces bore the looks of men who have suffered much. The First Company of the State's Coast Artillery and the Third Battalion of the First Infantry, doing duty-as artillery re serves, have certainly "made good" with the regulars, with whom they are associated. Besides chumming with each other the regulars, who watch the evening dress-par ade, always applaud as the Third Battalion marches by.

Looking upon that moonlight flood "How sweetly does the moonbeam smile Tonight upon yon leafy isle! Oft in my fancy's wanderings, I've wished that little Isle had wings, And we, within Its fairy bowecs, Were wafted of to seas unknown Where not a pulse should beat but ours, And we might live, love, die alone, Far from the cruel and the cold Wherej the bright eyes of angels only Should come around us to behold A paradise so pure and lonely!
