Of the stage When the time for comforting

sentative of the State, from which the author

pleasant one, he declared il to be, the Gov
ernor made a characteristic address, compii'
menting the College on lis magnificent work.
He also spoke of the great blessing and Dene-
fit such au institution is to the place where 1t
is located Nor did he forget to add some
salutary advice for the class suggested 10 him,
he said, by the character Of the orations. He
urged the cultivation of patriotism, and the
display of the Stars and Stripes. Marriage,
he said, was subject tabooed since his Viii
mington experience of last year, but at any
rate he must at least say don't make il too
soon. young women, even though they
be graduates of College, should go home and
help their mothers IN their domestic duties,

list none excited more interest than the First
Honor Medal of the State Oratorical Associa-

honor come TO Western Maryland man, and
in one of the two other times, a Western
Maryland man took the second honor. West
ern Maryland is not ashamed Of her record in

of much importance.

.. DER OF YOUNG. :

New York, March 31.-The case Of,
Nan Patterson, who is awaiting trial
on charge of having murdered
Caesar Young, was again before the:
grand jury during the day. Several
witnesses, including the widow of the
dead bookmaker and Mrs. Young's
brother-in-law, William Luce, were ex-
anined by Assistant District Attorney
Rand.
Later in the afternoon the grand
jury handed down indictments against
j. Morgan Smith, his wife, Julia, and
Nan Patterson, charging them Jointly
with conspiracy.
The arrest of j. Morgan Smith in
Cincinnati followed a search extend
ing over nearly a year. Smith and
his wife disappeared from this city
soon after the death of Young. At
the trial of Miss Patterson Assistant
District Attorney Rand told of the
fruitless search for the Smiths and
said he considered their apprehension
and presence in court as witnesses as
almost vital to the prosecutions case.
An attempt was made to prove at the
trial that the revolver, with which
Young was shot was purchased by
Smith and a woman the day before
the shooting occurred.

PLEASED WITH AMERICAN
MINISTER BOWEN.
.cAsTRo's SPECIAL REPRESENTA-.
(, TIVE HAS AN INTERVIEW
WITH ROOSEVELT.

Washington, March 31-Dr. Joseph
de Jesus Paul, special representative
of President Castro, had an interview
during the day with the president re-
specting the issues that have arisen
between Venezuela and the United
States. DR.. Paul appears to believe
that these issues might be settled by
q change in the American legation at
Caracas, in view of the strained rela-
tons between President Castro and
Mr.. Bowen. He is awaiting the text
of the communication from President
Castro relative to the arbitration pro-
posal, which document is en- route to
Washington by mail.
AS an impression apparently pre-.
wallis to some extent not only in Ven.
ezuela but in this country that Minis
ter Bowen has incurred the i'll will OF
President Castro by an excess of zeal
in the presentation of the American
claims against Venezuela it may be
stated that official inquiry from Wash
ington has developed the fact that Mr.
Bowen merely presented to the Ven
ezuelan government the precise in
structions sent to him from the state
department relative to arbitration;
that he did not add to or take from
those instructions in the slightest de-
gree, but in fact effaced himself, sc
the fact is that the state dena rtrYen1
and not Mr.. Bowen is responsible fol
