suit to prove the title to the land claimed by
the heirs Of the late James A. Davis. There
is pending in the Court of Appeals at this
time trespass suit, which was brought by
the executors of the late Davis some time
ago. The controversy involves the titles. to
the various parcels of land from 1915 down
to the Present time and many questions arise
to right OF title by purchase, by occupation
and by accretion The peculiar location of
the institute property between the high hills
and the SusQuehauna river is an important
feature in the case. On account of the length
of time which is covered by the various titles
and the number Of successive owners of the
property. it will require the testimony of n
large number of witnesses to prove the chain
of title. Plats drawn of the property in ques-
tion by County Surveyor Johns, of Cecilton,
were placed before the jury.

Young, of Belar, are counsel for the plain
tilTs, and the defendant is represented by

FIGHTING RACE TRACKS.
Ministers Of Baltimore County Take Up
the Work--ReyS. Mowbray and Nc
Elmoyle, of Elkton, Tell of the
Evil in Cecil County.

At II meeting of ministers of Baltimore
county in Baltimore on Monday an organiza-
ton to fight race track gambling in Maryland
was formed. Revs. A. S. MOwbray and John
McEImoyle, of Elkton. were present and told
of the effect of race track gambling and its
history in Cecil county. and the law and order
movement now being carried on here. Rev.
Mr.. McElmoyle said:
81 cannot eXagSerate the cnormity of this
evil us we have it in Cecil. There isn't an
interest that hasn't been violated by these
people. Our county has, to uphold it, the
church, the law, the home and the school,
and an absolute spoiation has been made Of
every one. The tracks are breaking down
the effect of the schools. The entire outfit is
paraded before the eyes of our boys and girls:
they hear gamblers talking about the details
of their business and become proficient in
the lingo of the race track. Little children
even are found gambling in a small way
The evil is u parasite upon the business of the
community, and many losses have been sus-
tanned because of the track men. Three
personsoI my acquaintance recently went to
IL lawyer with claims against horsemen aggre-
eating $1,000. Wage-earners are gambling
with money that should go to the support OF
their families, and young men are being
ruined financially and morally"
Rev. \. S. AIowhray said: 1--WE are lighting,
not II company of Maryland people. but a
gang banded together from all parts OF the
United States. These people have six tracks
III our ncighborhoOd have recently rented
one near Baltimore and another in the lower
part Of Cecil county, near Middletown, Del.
The track followers have brought with them
II deluge Of vice, misery and debauchery be-
yond des .ription. This distressing condition
ought to be paraded before the people of
Maryland. Our community cannot recover
from the blow of this race track evil for
twenty-iiv years. Under the law we cannot
prevent these races in Cecil and you cannot
prevent the coming races in Baltimore county.
We can only seek relief at the polls and see
that the right men are sent to the Legisa-
ture. Our committee of safety has received
an encouraging letter from Governor Lowndcs
promising to do all he can to aid us in getting
rid OF this incubus

from an inability to eat and digest food. In
