The cornerstone of the church was laid

Richardson and G. W. Baldwin. Special
music was rendered by the cholrs OF Mount

The movement for the building of the church
originated with Rev. w. w. Costin, then pas
tor of Hunts charge, in 1904, and was approx.
ed and carried forward under the direction Of
DR.. G. H. Richardson, at that time presiding
elder of the Baltimore District The building
of such handsome church was made possible
by the generosity of the residents of Green

sums of money as well as material. 1t is the
only church in the valley save colored chapel
near Chattalonee Station. The building was
completed under the administration of the
present pastor, Rev. H. w. Burgan.
The church has grown considerably during

Getting Worked Up on the Motorcar
Questionable Belair Democrat of last week
said: wherever two or three are gathered
these hot days the automobile is the subject
for discussion. Their damage to the macada.
mixed roads will put the county out of bust
ness unless something is done to prevent them
from running so fast and carrying away so
much valuable opdressing. They. are even
tearing the stones from the road and in short
time our pixies will be worse than no pixies at
all. A well-known lawyer in Belair thinks
that some strict legislation will have to be
passed and the county officers clothed with
authority to enforce some stringent regula-
tions. He proposes that when a machine ex:
ceeds ten miles an hour that it be arrested and
sentenced to jail for 30, 60 or 80 days. and that
Sheriff Spencer take charge of the offending
auto Just as he would any other prisoner sem
fenced TO Jail for an offense"
The same paper also said: "a large delega-
ton was before the Board of County Commits
sioners on Monday and made complaint against
the rapid dangerous and illegal use Of auto
mobiles on the public highways. The deega-
ton said the reckless driving of the automo-
bile was running the pike and if some action
is not taken serious accidents would surely fol-
low. The autoists are insolent and many
times absolutely refuse to concede the travel
ing public their share of the public roads
Sheriff Spencer has the matter in charge"

Baker, attorney for Mr.. Davis Baker, has filed
a bill in the Circuit Court here against Mr.. J..
Alexis Shriver, of Hartford county, asking that
deed by which the complainant conveyed a
strip of his property to Mr. Shriver be set aside.
Mr.. Baker states that the defendant, while

pany, came to his residence and stated that the
railway was to be built within sixty days and
secured from Mr.. Baker right of way for said
railway over the property Of the complainant
on the Belair road. Mr.. Baker alleges that the
railway has not been built, nor has it the funds
to build its line. He also states that Mr.. Shri-

CONDITIONS AT PANAMA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 22-Com-
menting on the report OF ], L. Bris-
tow on traffic conditions at Panama,
R. P. Scherwin, vice-president of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company said
yesterday that the Pacific Mail holds
itself in no way responsible for the
falling OF in traffic over the Panama
railroad, and declared that if the gov
ernment builds line of its own to
run between this port and Panama it
may lose money on its operation,
Traffic is being diverted from Panama
to Tehuantepec, he says,
Because of the aid given to the
Hawaiian-American line by the Mex
lean government, which exacted no
percentage or other charge. He add
ed: 1--WE cannot compete with the
more ,cheaply operated and more
greatly favored lines which run to
the Mexican port"

SUSPICIOUS ACTION
OF JAPS
DISCOVERY OF TWO JAPAN
EsE INSPECTING FoRTIFIcA-
TIoNs AND GUNS AT FORT
STEVENS - MEN ARRESTED.

An investigation that may result in
serious complications, will be made
into the actions Of two Japanese, al
Fort Sicvens, on Tuesday. lnforma-
ton was received some time ago, un-
officially Of the possibility Of spies
plying their Investigations into our
coast dcfcnscs, but while no serious
attention was paid 70 the information,
the officers and men have been alert
for any suspicious actions on the part
oi visitors, especially those Of tire
yellow race. A rule, in vogue hereto
fore, restricting visitors to the forti-
iieations, 20 certain parts, was re-
moved some time ago and perfect
freedom Of investigation was afforded.
In this however such frccdom is al
lowed only 10 American citizens and
all white people are cosidered Amcri-
cans, the Japs and Chinese being
debarred.
The importance OF this post TO our
coast defense is well known, and is
thoroughly appreciated by the officers
there. and no suspicious actions will
escape them.
On Tuesday, while ono Of the SEN
tries was partolling the west battery,
he discovered twd we'll dressed Jap
anesc walking along the parapct, who
seemed very much Interested in what
they saw. Knowing that permission
10 be in the place they wercs must be
obtained from the commander, he
watched them and noticing them
pointing. at the guns and holding an
interesting conversation he arrested
the men and hailed them before
Lieutenant kcrfoot, the adjutant-
general, who asked an explanation OF
tHSH N"hohSt, anu iSaaoh wi pNihk
in the prescribed territory. No salts
factory explanation could be obtain
ed and although nothing OF an in
eliminating nature could be found on
them, ], is thought possible that they
might be there for the purpose OF
obtaining data for sketches, and as to
the modes OF defense. The west bat
terry is a most important one which
makes the presence Of these men the
more suspicious,
A thorough and searching investi-
CATION Of this matter will be made
and some developments may arise.
