ROCKVILLE.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, February II, 1910.
The women of Montgomery county have
lost In their fight to have Gov. Crothers
name a woman as a member OF the board
Of county public school commissioners, 20
succeed Hazel w. Cashell. who resigned
to become county commissioner. The
powers that be, or the politicians, have
recommended the appointment of C1agett
c. Hilton of GAINESVILLE, and 1t is under
stood Gov. Crotllers will be guided by
their wishes and will name Mr.. Hilton
within the next few days.
The women's clubs of the county made
a strong effort to have woman selected
for the place, and were unanimously in
favor of the appointment of Mrs. Il. Bent
ley Thomas Of Sandy Spring. But they
were up against a hopeless situation from
the start, and did not succeed even in
having the law amended so that the gov
ernor would have the right to appoint .
woman il he so desired.
Mr.. Hilton is a builder and contractor
and has always taken a lively interest IN
the welfare Of the public schools.
Miss Louise Southland of Washington
and William Z. Williford Of Dallas, Tex.
were married in Rockville, about IL
o'clock Thursday night, by Rev. S. II.
White of the Baptist Church at the home
of the minister. After reaching Rock
vile the young folks hunted up j. Darby
Bowman deputy clerk of the circuit
court, who accompanied them 20 the court
house and issued the license. Rev. DIR.
White was in bed when the couple
reached his home, but upon learning what
was wanted he quickly donned his clothes
and descended to the parlor, where the
knot was tied.
Delegate James +. Duvall of this county
has introduced in the house of delegates
a bill directing the county commissioners
for Montgomery county to issue bonds IN
the amount of $4,000 to raise funds for
the erection of "a high school building at
Damascus. Mr.. Duyall. himself teacher
of experience, asserts there is urgent need
of such an institution at Damascus, and
expresses confidence that his bill will be-
come a law
A delegation of citizens from the vicin-
ity of Germantown appeared before the
county school commissioners here a few
days ago to urge the erection of a new
school building at Germantown and to ask
the consolidation Of the two schools now
in that section. The board took no ac-
ton, but favorable consideration is
thought probable.
The county school commissioners have
appointed NJ. Donaldson knight of Rock
vile to audit the accounts of the board
each quarter.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry, has bought or Marion
0. Burrows of Rockville a farm of 10
acres, near Rockville, the consideration
being $4,000. The property is near the
farm of Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief OF
the weather bureau.

Fourth Annual Indoor

that has been held in this vicinity for
some time was the fourth annual affair
of the boys department of the Young
Mems Christian Association held last

the available floor space taken up by en-
thusiastic spectators.
The program. composed of eleven events
brought out some exciting races and field
events that kept the large crowd that
taxed the capacity of the gallery in the
best of spirits throughout the evening.
Interest was conferred in the relay races,
which were easily the feature events of
the evening.
The races were classified for employed
boys, juniors and midgets. giving every
member of the association, from the
youngest to the undergraduate. a chance
to shine. In the class for employed boys

TO SAVE RIVER OYSTERS
EFFORT FOR PROTECTION OF
THE POTOMAC PRODUCT.
Maryland and Virginia to Confer.
Immediate Action Regarded as
Absolutely Necessary.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. February 12.-An
effort is to be made to reach an agree
ment with the state of Virginia with
reference TO the oyster industry of the
Potomac river. Four years ago a legis-
lative commission was appointed to visit
Richmond to confer with similar body
named by the general assembly of Vir-
ginia. This consisted of Senators Linthi-
cum, Kirnan and Lancaster, and Dele
gates Hayden, Ray, Goodwin Tuckerman
and Wilmer.
The mission did not end satisfactorily.
Two propositions were considered, one
being as to whether it would not be
better to close the Potomac river to all
dredging for the term of two years, and
the other to the proper increase of
fines and penalties for violation of the
dredging, longing and culling laws of
the Potomac river.
The first was disagreed to by the
Virginia commission, but an. agreement
was reached setting forth the mode and
manner of taking oysters in the Potoma C
and imposing fines and penalties for a
violation Of the law.
Bills introduced.
Bills were at once framed and pre-
scented to both legislatures in keeping
commission. The Virginia assembly
promptly passed it, but the Maryland
house of delegates refused to ratify the
agreement after the senate had taken
favorable action, and as it required joint
action to make the law effective the mis-
sion resulted in failure. Delegate Hay
den, who was the chairman of the COM
mittee on Chesapeake bay and its trib-
utaries, was said to have been responsible
for the defeat of the bill in the house
He voted for the agreement at Richmond,
but subsequently was charged with con-
tracing cold feet.
Two years ago the suggestion was
again made to have joint commission.
but Senator Linthicum was so Disguised
with the result of the previous mission
that he fought it down.
Now Senator Frere of Charles county
wants, another trial, and he is backed by
Senator Wilkinson OF ST. Mary. Sen
ator Frere stated in the senate that I'M
less something was done for the protec-
ton of the oysters in the Potomac the
beds would be denuded. He declared the
conditions to be SO bad that the oyster
men were threatened with poverty Some
thing, he said. must be done in their
behalf. This led to an understanding be-
tween the southern Maryland tidewater
counties, and. Monday evening a resolu-
ton will be submitted providing for an
other Joint commission. This time, how
ever the Virginians are to be invited to
Annapolis.
