States Title to Tobacco Ware
houses.

The Baltimore News of Monday says
In connection with the proposal that
the city shall acquire the portion OF ground
living south of Pratt street and between
Bowly's wharf and Jones Falls, with the
exception of the United Railway Com
pany's Pratt street powerhouse, for the
purpose of dock improvements, it has
been rumored that the title of the State
tobacco warehouses between Marsh Mar
ket wharf and O'Donnel's wharf, which
are wit hin the scope of the proposed I'M
provement, is only an easement, and that
if the buildings ceased to be used as State
tobacco wareh ouses the title to the land
will revert to the original owners.
Whether this is the case or not is a
matter for the lawyers, and perhaps the
courts, to decide, but the ancient law
makers of Maryland seem to have been
pretty competent fellows and to have
safeguarded the States interest we'll. The
rumor of reversion probably arose from
the fact that condemnation was resorted
to in securing the tobacco warehouse sites
for the State, and it is general rule OF
law that where an easement is condemned
in land, as for the right Of way for rail-
road, for instance, the land reverts to the
original owner wherever it ceases
to be used for the purpose
for which 1t was condemned.
Probably with this principle in view
Chapter $50 of the Acts of Assembly OF
1926, which made provision for the con-
demnation of tobacco warehouse sites, re-
Trained from stating any purpose except
'to perfect the design contemplated in
the Act of 1925, Chapter $780, which pro
vides for the warehouses.
Solomon Etting, William Lorman. Da-
vid Winchester, Talbot Jones and Benja-
min G. Howard were named as commls-
sioners to view the lands and assess dam
ages. and provision was made for an in
QUESTION by jury in case OF an appeal
from their decision. That the Legisla-
ture had no intention that the land should
ever revert to the original owners is
shown by the statement in the act that
"the State of Maryland shall therefor
ward be considered the true and lawful
owner and proprietor of the said land
or real estate, with the improvements
thereon. and all wharyes and other ap-
purt enances thereto belonging or apper-
tanning, and all right, title, estate and
interest therein, at law and in equity
shall be vested in the said State.'
And the act further provides, in Sec
ton 4, that after appeal taken, If any,
from the decision Of the commissioners
and the inquisition of jury and final pay
ment of damages, "the State of Mary
| land shall thenceforward forever there
after be considered the true and lawful
owner and proprietor of said land or rea
| estate

That Mortgage Tax Bill.

The bill to repeal the mortgage tax is still
in the WAYS and Means Committee and
it's friends have net yet seen an opportun-
ity to bring it out. The county members
who are opposing this bill, it is said are
attempting to trade both the Haman bill
and the bill repeating the Foutz ANNEX
Tax law for the defeat of this measure.
In connection with Senator Moore, OF
Worcester county, has introduced in the
Senate bill repeating the mortgage tax
for Baltimore city and leaving it in effect
in all the counties. 1t alto provides that
the entire tax collected in each county
shall go to the county and no part of it be
paid to the State. Under the present law
the mortgage tax is divided between the
county and the State This would have
the effect of increasing the county reve
nue. and would meet every objection by
county members against the bill now in
the House. 1t is believed the time has
now come for Senator Moore to push his
hill

a Plea for Song Birds.

The winter is over and the song birds,
the harbng gers of spring, are making their
appearance throughout the State. Song
birds are insectiverous birds, hence apart
from the pleasure they afford the ear of
man, they are Ct great assistance to the
farmer, gardener or fruit grower. In rec
ogniton of these facts the State Of Mary
land. in Chapter 2OG of the Acts of 1898,
has thrown around these beneficial agents
due projections:
Chapter 20G, Acts of 1898, Sec. 15H,
names the birds as follows:
SEC. 1911 No person shall, in this
State, at any time shoot or in any manner
catch or kill, expose for sale, sell or buy,
or have in possession, alive or dead, any
turkey buZZard, wren, sparrow, blue bird,
hummipg bird, blue jay, migratory, or
other thrush, woodrobin, red breasted
robin, martin, mocking bird, cat bird,
swallow, oriole, red bird, lark, ind go
bird, joe wink, petit, sapsucker, whip
poorwill. gold finch yellow d
chat,) cedar Bird herring gull or mac keral
gull or gull of any description. under
penalty of not less than one ($l) dollar nor
more than five $50 dollars for each bird so
shot, caught. killed, exposed for sale, sold,
bought, or had in possession; and no per
son Shall, under like penalty, have in his
or her possession, offer for sale or wear
the skins, plumage, wings or feathers OF
any of the birds, the catching or killing
of which is prohibited by this Section;
provided, however that nothing herein
contained shall be SO construed as to
make it unlawful to shoot. catch or XIII
or in any manner destroy, at any time,
any hawk or other birds destructive to
| domestic poultry, or any English sparrow,
or crow or black bird, provided, that this
section shall not apply to st. Mary
county and Calvert county; PROVIDED
that it shall be lawful to have mocklng
birds or red birds, or other song blrds IN
cages, or stuffed specm ems OF any OF sald
birds in educational insti tutions, or pub
lie or private museums.
The State Game Warden, Col John W.
Avirett, is urging all of the newspapers
of the State to give publicity to the law and
assist in creating sentiment in its favor
which will ensure respect for its every
provision.
In the case of Calvert county there is
no restriction as to the killing OF these
birds except the mocking birds, and in
st. Mary's the robin may, by local act, cod
fled in Article 10 of the Code of 1898, be
shot in that county, from October 1, to
March l.. The game warden has asked
the delegations from these counties to
pass the necessary Act to have State law
apply to these counties that there shall
not be any section of the State where the
killing of the song and insectiverous birds
shall be legal. The support of the move
mept is general and the publicity given
the law at this time will ensure its OBJ
servance

will favor the unseating of Mr. Smo"t,

that MI. Benjamin Edelin,, Democrat,
will be awarded the seat. Mr.. Bernard
Carter, who was in Annapolis, is said to
have rendered an opinion that the candl'
date on the ticket receiving the next
