An error was made in that no COM
mittee on contested elections was APP
pointed in the senate so that work
could proceed during the recess. The

in the hands of some senator to be
looked after and Mr.. Hambleton,of Ma

the senate would call it up. But 1t
will be looked after as soon as posi-

CLUBS And SOCIETY
Enjoyable Occasions In The City't
Homes And Halls.

The members of the New Era Club
enjoyed a rare treat last evening al
the c. M. Porter home. Isabel Garg
hill Beeeher gave an interpretatiye
reading OF "The Servant In the
House" Being a symbolical produc.
ton, there is room for the play of the
Imagination in each nearer, while the
theme of Brotherhood, as developed
in the play, holds the audience tense
with emotion from beginning to end
Several members of the club have
recently seen the play and were the
most enthusiastic admirers of Mrs
Beecher's Interpretation. On the
boards Mauseu. who symbolizes the
Christ, is the prominent figure. Mrs.
Beecher places the emphasis on hob
ert. the outcast brother. This is al.
most a necessity, for though Mausen's
lines are short, mis- very personality
makes him the commanding figure OF
the play. Only a woman of intellec
tual and spiritual power could give
such a play in such a manner as it
was presented last night. In voice
in facial expression, in all that goes
to make an artist of the highest rank,
Mrs. Beecher well deserves the repu
tation of being one of Americas nm
est readers. .....

Boston Transcript refers to this situation
with the remark that speculation as to
the time when real maple sugar will be

staples must give us pause. The price of
maple lumber has distanced the price of
maple sugar in an ascending scale OF

Special Correspondence of The Star.
CHESAPEAKE BEACH, Nd,
March 81. 1909.
Members of the Association of Mary
land Tobacco Growers held an interesting
session here today, more than 200 mem
bers from the tobacco-growing counties OF
the state being in attendance. +. Snow

dent of the organization; Frank o. Smith
of Dunkirk. Anne Arundel county, secre-
tary, and other officers were in attend
ance. The party came here on a special
train this morning, arriving shortly after
10 o'clock and departing on late train
this afternoon.
Representative Augustus o. Stanley of
Kentucky was the attraction. arrange
ments having been made for him to tell
the Maryland tobacco growers something
about how those in Kentucky have sue
ceeded In getting increased prices for their
product. He has made a study of the
tobacco question and has addressed grow
ers In about ten states. Members Of the
Maryland organization listened to him at
tentiyely and there was not one of his
hearers who does not think his talk will
prove profitable to them.
1t was pointed out by Representative

bacco have somewhat of an advantage
over the growers of the product in his
state In Maryland, he said. the govern
ment state warehouse may be used by the
growers for the storage of their tobacco
for an indefinite period, while in Ken
lucky the growers have to build their own
storage houses. He explained that as
fully three-fourths of the Maryland prod
uct goes to France and the producers
know of the vast profits that are made
after 1t leaves their hands 1t is for them
to better protect themselves.
Cooperation with the growers of other
states was urged by the kentuckian, and
then. he said. the growers will come to a
realization Of the value of their product
He went into a lengthy talk upon the
general question of tobacco growing and
of the protection of the rights of the pro-
ducers, and his remarks were generously
applauded. Part of the day was spent in
