Pennsy Will Help
Colonial Beach.

The merchants of Colonial Beach. Va,
are patting Secretary Boggs and the
Merchansts and Manufacturers Associa
ton on the back for good work done
in their behalf, and incidentlly, the
local association has triumphed in an
other trade movement.
The passenger and traffic service
from Baltimore to Colonial Beach has
never been just what the people Of that
section of Virginia wanted. Sometime
ago the Business Mems Association OF
the Potomac town enlisted the prices
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association for better trade and travel
accommodations. Secretary Boggs took
up the matter with the Maryland Della
ware and Virginia Railway Company.
No satisfactory arrangements Lave
ever been reached with the steamboat
people. According to Mr.. Boggs, they
claimed that an old contract inherited
from the Weems Line compelled them
to touch Alexandria, and hence all
freight was carried to that point. From
there it was shipped to Colonial Beach.
Passengers, unless they went to Wash
inston and then on one of the Poto-
mac River boats to Colonial Beach, had
to put up with the same tiresome ride
and Inconvenience. 1t was matter OF
a couple of days for freight from Balti
more to reach its destination,
In week, it is said. all these trou-
bles will nave started to become a mem
DRY. The Pennsylvania Railroad will
carry all freight and passengers from
Baltimore city to Popes Creek, and
then by forty across the Potomac to
Colonial Beach. Leaving Baltimore at
7:30 o'clock in the morning, daily, peo-
pie and freight will arrive at Colonial
Beach three and one;half hours later
1t is about 80 miles to Popes Greek and
about Is miles to the Virginia side.
Colonial Beach il the market and
shipping point of much Of the surround
ing territory. Ii is also popular sum-
mer resort, and the travel and traffic
during the hot months is particularly
heavy.

Will Sue Mr.. Turne Ell

Governor Crothers sent letter Mon
day to Attorney General Straus direct
ing him to institute legal proceedings
to GUST Mr.. J. Frank Turner from
the position of States Attorney for
Talbot county or chairman of tht
County State Central Committee.
Mr.. Straus will prepare the States
side of the case. It is expected that
proceedings will be begun at Easton
within the next few days.
After hearing the case and weighing
the arguments submitted by Mr.. Straus
and former Congressman Joshua W
Miles and Major Randolph Barton,
counsel for Mr.. Turner, Governor
Crothers sent Mr.. Turner letter saying
that in his judgment the two positions
were incompatible and advising him to
retire from one of the positions.
Mr.. Turner, in reply to the Governor
said he would not retire from either
place under any conditions. For severn
al days the Gov ernor had the case undo
advisenlent and held several confer.
ences with Mr.. Straus.
In his latest letter to Mr.. Turner the
Governor said the two positions are Of
such public nature, involving duties in
which important public interests are
deeply concerned, that it is unlawful
far the same person to hold both.
The Governor says he realizes the i'm
portance of the case, not only to the
people of Talbot county but of the
entire State. The grand jury of Talbot
recently made a request of Mr.. Turney
that he retire from one Of the positions.
This action the Governor believes
shows that there is widespread de-
mand in Mr.. Turner's own county for
a rigid enforcement of the law. The
grand jury, it is said, realizing the
the danger that might arise under such
conditions, made the recommendation o
Mr.. Turner and the court Like the
| recommendation of the Governor, it
had no effect, apparently, on Nj Tur-
| ner.

May Fix Duty on Hides.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Indications
are that the tariff on hides will be ul-
timately fixed at 10 per cent. when the
tariff bill energies from conference.
The senate probably will make the
duty Is per cent, but it is not expect.
ed the house will accept this, as the
sentiment for free hides is strong
there. A canvass shows, however,
that 10 per cent. has sufficient num-
Der of votes as compromise.
