showers were purely local IN character and
were extremely limited in the extent Of area
co7ered In this respect Wednesday was
the niost favorable day of the week. On
Saturday afternoon heavy thunder shower
fell at Baltimore and in its vicinity, but, as
on Wednesday, the rainfall over the Section
as a whole was light and unimportant. The
amount at Baltimore was .16 inches, Nc

Will Not Take Part.

1t is said that the trades organizations of
Baltimore will take no part in con, estng in
the courts the suit instituted by Hon. Aaron
r. Anders, Of Frederick, to determine the
consitutionality of the Mileage. Book Law.
These organizations claim that the measure
IS not of material benefit to their member
ship. j. Harry TregOe, president Of the
Travellers and Merchants Association. Bal.
timore, was emphatic on the subject He
SAID:
I'VE recognize that the Maryland Legis-
lature can ouly pass laws effective in the
State. If this law WAS upheld 1t would be of
practically little benefit to the great macs of
salesmen sent out by Baltimore firms. With
one of these books they would be stopped at
the District OF Columbia line, at the Della
ware line, at Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and any other outside point desired to be
reached. Suppose, for instance, salesman
wanted 10 90 from Baltimore to Cumberland
on book OF this kind oyer the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. He would be first held
up at the District of Columbia, then again
when the road crossed the Potomac at Har-
per's Ferry. From this point to Cumber.
land the road winds In and out through
Maryland and West Virginia. Just see the
awkward predicament of the holder of the
book. When outside the State his fare
would be demanded. when inside his book
would be accepted. The result would be an
annoyance no traveller would care to en-.
counter.
"Tne same condition would be true In
making business trip to the Eastern Shore,
as the roads there are Ia MARYLAND and In
Delaware at irregular intervals. You can
sec, therefore, that the measure is of no ina.
terial service to travelling statesmen and for
that reason we will probably take no part in
any court contest to establish Its legality.
What our ASSOCIATION desired was tho Q
cents-a-mile bill. This would have been Of
substantial benefit, and was The one we ad-
vocated. However, il failed Of passage"

Two Western Maryland freight trains
were in head .on collision short distance

the leg,
John r. Sipe, Of Hagerstown, fireman on
train No 1O4; bruised about the face and
head and left foot so severely crushed that
amputation will probably be necessary.
Robert Kas,ner, of Hagelstown, fireman Of
train No 1903; legs badly bruised.
None of the casualties. however, Is OF ia.
tai nature. Richard Uhler, conductor, and
H Gladhll, engineer, of train No. 104, were
comparatively unhurt.
The injured men were taken to Westmin-
ster and their wounds dressed by DIR. W. D..
Wells, the company's physician, who suhse-
qucn,ly took Spc and Ehrluger TO the Bal
timore City Hospital.
The trains had orders to pass at Avondale,
which is 81 miles from Baltimore and the
first station west of Westminster, but the or.
ders had been changed to make Wakefield
wet Of Avonda.e, the passing point. The
conductor and engineer o: train No 1903 were
apprsed of tho change, but, for some unac'
cOuntable reason, the crew Of train No. lO4
failed to receive the changed order, VIII CHI

Both were heavy trains and carried mer.
chandise. No. 103 having been made up of23
cars Train No. 104 was slowing up for the
Avondale siding, but No. 1903 was running
at from 20 to % miles an hour when they
met.
Both engines were wrecked, and one Of
them il is said will have to be rebuilt. Sew.
eral Of the cars on each train were wrecked
and derailed, and the merchandise they con-
tanned was piled and scattered along the
tracks. The first car on tram No. 1903 was
completely demolished and the roof was
thrown forward ON the cab of the engine and
pinned down the engineer and fireman, but
neither received severe injuries. Most ofthe
train hands jumped when they saw the COLI.
aion WAS unavoidable
Train NJ. 1903 was carrying large lot Of
fish which was piled up along the track to q
depth Of six or eight feet.
