Rumors are again floating about to the effect
that next spring the United Railways will ex-
tend its Bear road line from the present ter
minus to Perry Hall. All think this would
be a wise move on the part of the company
and one that would cause its receipts to grow
rapidly. That the country along the line of
the road would be greatly improved by this
extension simply goes without saying. With
this line extended to Perry Hall it would catch
the people from a wide scope of country that
is thickly settled but has now no proper means
of ingress and egress. And then, too, it would
prove great convenience to people in Balt-

Roland Park School Trustees Decline
Opposition to Commissioner Krout.-At
the last meeting of the School Board it was
thought the trouble over the naming of trus-
tees for the new Roland Park school had been
settled by Commissioner Krout selecting Mr.
E. H. Bouton, Mr.. G. D. Fenhagan and Dr.
G. W. Truitt, the appointments having been
confirmed by the Board. But these gentlemen,
from one cause or another, have declined to
serve and the people of Roland Park demand
that the three gentlemen first named by them
be made the trustees These are DR.. L. G..
Smart and Messrs. Arthur Stuart and Clinton
Crawford.
The opposition of Commissioner Krout to
what is apparently the sentiment of the resi-
dents in the vicinity of the school in the mat
ter of trustees has led to an effort to prevent
his reappointment by the Governor. A for
NAL protest is being circulated in the Sd and
9th districts, over which Mr.. Krout has super
vision. The letter is signed by number of
residents of Embla, Roland and Tuxedo Parks
Normandie Heights and Arlington, and reads
as follows:
l. Mr.. Krout has refused to nominate as
trustees for the Roland Park Public School
three gentlemen selected by the residents of
the school district. No reason has been as
signed for this REFUSAL but the undersigned are
of the opinion that the reason that the gentle
men named are quite Independent, under no
obligations to Mr. Krout, and would not be
willing to allow him to interfere with or die
tate the appointment of teachers or the man
agement of that school.
9. The committee has examined the other
school districts of Baltimore county and finds
that out of II schools in the Sd and 9th dis
tricts Mr.. Krout has had himself appointed
as one of the trustees in II schools, in all of
which there are numerous residents of high
character and capacity who would willingly
serve the county as trustees, but who have not
been invited to do so, we presume for the same
reason that the gentlemen nominated by the
residents of Roland and other parks have not
been appointed for the Roland Park School.
3. The committee is of the opinion that Mr..
Krout is not proper person to be entrusted
with the supervision of public schools, where
be has to deal with ladies and children.
A. The committee believes that Mr.. Krout's
reappointment would not be for the best in
terests of the public schools in Baltimore
county.

Another View of the Shipley Case.-The
Baltimore american of the 10th instant said:
1.-THE wide publicity given to the case of Charles
L. Shipley, charged with having slandered
number of young ladies Of Pikesville has
caused considerable surprise, as there are
circumstances connected with the case which
do not warrant very serious importance being
attached to Shipleys actions. He still re-
mains in Towson jail but it is thought that
a disposition will be made of the case other
than making him stand trial for the serious
offense with which he is charged There
are a number of persons who do not regard
Shipley as being responsible for his actions"
