The Union News Publishing Com
pany. Incorporated, extends cordial
greetings to the patrons Of both The
Baltimore County Union and The Tow
son News. which appear this week in
consolidated form, and respectfully re-
quest continuance of their favors in
subscriptions, correspondence, adver-
tising and job work, promising the
same faithful attention to their inter-
ests that has heretofore been given by
the separate arrangements of the two
papars.
The subscription price of the con-
solidated papers will be one dollar a
year. The rate of one dollar and fifty
cents year heretofore charged by the
Union is not too much, but the new
amount has been adopted by nearly
all the weekly papers of the country
and is much more convenient for
many persons in remitting. The pub
fishers hope that the loss in price will
be more than made up by the increase
in number of subscriptions. This re-
duction will only apply to new busi-
ness and subscriptions falling due after
September 1, 1909.
Subscribers who are paid up in ad-
vance for both The Union and The
News will have their time equitably
extended. For instance, a man who
has paid up for the Union to January
1, 1910, and for The News to March l,
1910, will be considered as having paid
for the consolidated paper to July /,
1910 Wefind, though, that the num-
Der of duplicate subscribers is surpris-
ingly small. All subscribers in arrears
to The Towson News will be rendered
bills at an early date for the amount
due that paper on August %, 1909, the
date of the last separate issue.
ALI present advertisers in both pa
pers and all new advertisers will have
the splendid service given by the COM
bined subscription lists of The Union
and The News. This list completely
covers Baltimore county, also includ-
ing considerable circulation in the ad
joining counties and in Baltimore city,
together with scattering papers to near
ly all corners Of the globe, to which
former Baltimore countians have PEN
etrated. Current contracts will be car
ried out at the rates named therein,
and all future contracts will be made
in the scale of rates heretofore charged
by the Union.

To Sentence Murderer.

New York, June 25.-Sentence
will be passed upon Robert F
Wood, convicted of murder in the
first degree, by Judge Foster today
Wood killed his niece, Mrs. Amelia
Roach, on September 9 last, After
the crime he fled to Baltimore, where
he was capturel as the result OF
sending a postcard to his brother in
this city.
During the trial Wood steadfast-
ly maintained that he had received a
visit from an angel of the Lord who
had instructed him to kill his niece.
An insanity plea was entered in
Woods behalf, but three physicians
testified that he was sane. 1t is like
ly that he will be sentenced to death
in the electric chair.

Washington, June Secretary
Dickinson and Lieutenant General
Wood completed preparations today
for tour of inspection of the At
lantic coast defenses. The tour will
begin tomorrow and the secretary of
war will visit all the principal coast
forts of New York, Long Island
Sound, Boston and the entire New
England coast as far north as Port
land. 1t is probable that the secre-
tary will not return to his desk be-
fore July c.
Although he went into the war de-
partment with only a scant practical
understanding OF the duties before
him, Mr.. Dickinson has commanded
the admiration of the officers under
him by the manner in which he al
ready has grasped the essential facts.
The inspection trips this summer are
intended to be as much in the nature
of further education for the secre-
tary as to lead to the physical better
ment of the defenses themselves.

MACON IN OPPOSITION
Arkansan Forces Roll Call and The
Rounding Up by Sergeant-at-

of Fiscal Year.

Washington, June 25.-On the
eve OF the expiration of the current
fiscal year the house yesterday au-
thorized an emergency apprOpria-
tion of S10,000,000 for defraying
the expenses of taking thirteenth de-
cennial census. In presenting the bill
for that purpose, Mr. Tawney eX-
planned the situation with respect to
the permanent census measure still
in conference, and announced that
unless the money was forthcoming
the census bureau would be compell-
ed to suspend all business next We'd
nesday. Notwithstanding this warn
ing the bill met with much oppo-
sition and it was only finally passed
after Mr.. Macon of Arkansas had
forced a roll call on a point Of no
quorum.
To get members for this vote the
sergeant-at-arms and his deputies
secured the capitol under orders of
Speaker Cannon. Members reached
the chamber in droves. About eighty
of them were found comfortably
seated in the senate listening to the
tariff debate.

PARIS. August Accommodating upon
the exchanges at Cowes between King
Edward and Emperor Nicholas, the
French press generally is of opinion that
the words of the British sovereign init
mate that England expects Russia to de-
velop her constitutional institutions. Great
satisfaction is expressed at the prospect
of closer relations between Great Britain,
France and Russia.
In this connection the Temps says that
complete reconciliation between Great
Britain and Russia whose antagonism for
the last fifty years has been the favorite
weapon of Prussia and Germany against
France. is of priceless value. The battles
of SadoWa and Sedan, this paper says.
were a result of the inability of Great
Britain and Russia to unite for the pres
ervation of the equilibrium of Europe.

CRY FROM ARMENIA FOR AID.
Recent Massacres Left $4,000 Peo-
pie in Need Of Sustenance.

Need for outside relief in the Armenian
district Of Turkey. where there were
massacres during the spring. is still very
great, according to a cablegram to the
State Department from the United States
embassy at Constantinople. The problem
there. according to Mr.. Peet. who is at
the head of one Of the principal mission
airy, organizations in Armenia. includes
sheltering and providing means of sus-
tenance for 5000 people.
In what is known as the Sessab region
1t is estimated by Mr. Peet that 81 900
pounds Turkish money is needed. and
in the Tarsus district about 10000 pounds
in money. Even those two centers. he
said. represent probably not more than
fifth of the entire need.
These statements come to the State
Department as. "a result of an inquiry
