TEACHERS WILL
Get THE MONEY
Worcester COunyCOmmisSiOneTS
Have Made Provision For
Teachers Salaries.

During the session Of the General AS
sembly Of 1908 law was enacted pro-
viding that all white teachers holding a
first-class teachers certificate and hav-
ing taught for a period Of three years
in any of the public schools Of the State
shall receive as salary not less than
$3.50 per annum. and teacher having
taught five years shall receive a salary
Of not less than $500 and one who has
taught eight years shall receive not less
than $3.50.
The County Commissioners Of the sew
eral counties were by the act compelled
to levy a sufficient sum to meet the in
crease Of salaries provided for by the
act. In many counties of the State
there were no salaries as low as the
ones specified in the act, but Worcester
County came under its provisions. The
Board of County Commissioners refused
to levy the money to provide for the
salaries of go teachers in Worcester
County, and the school board for the
county brought mandamus proceedings
in the Circuit Court for the salaries of
1908 and 1909. The Circuit Court, after
hearing the case, ordered mandamus
to issue, from which order the County
Commissioners appealed. The principal
question involved was the constitution
atty OF the Act of 1908, Chapter 635,
Section l22A-E, it being commended on
the part of the County Commissioners
that the section was unconstitutional,
because it was in violation of Section
90, Of Article 3, of the Constitution of
Maryland, in that the title Of the act
was misleading and did not properly
describe the subject Of the act.
The Court of Appeals, however. up
held the law and declared it constitu-
tional. and since then the county COM
missioners, acting in pursuance of the
decision of the Court of Appeals, have
appropriated the money sued for. The
total increase involved in the suit was
Sll. 966. so, and this amount was not only
appropriated. but an extra sum to cover
the amount due for 1910 also. The
county commissioners. even after the
Court of Appeals returned the law to
the Circuit Court, had not decided to
pay the salaries until it was known that
the go teachers whose salaries were in
volved were going to bring separate and
individual suits.

Alleged Speak-EaSy Operators
Arrested.

1t has been very evident that con-
siderable liquor has been disposed of at
Ocean City, and recently parties in this
town while on visit there claim to
have had no trouble in making pur-
chases. Writs were sworn out and
Sheriff Dale and Deputy Gordon Bowen,
and his brother, Harry, went to Ocean
City on Tuesday to serve them.
1t has been claimed that those en-
gagged in the speak-easy business keep
spies at the principal railroad stations
near Ocean City, and that as soon as an
officer of the law or other person Of
whom they might be afraid. put in APP
pearance. word would be sent to Ocean
City to discontinue selling. Sheriff Dale
was aware of this espionage and he and
his men went to Ocean City by an I'M
usual route taking the alleged violators
unaware, and having no trouble in serv-
ing warrants on Charles Mitchell, Harry
Graham. Daniel Trimper, John Purnell.
Louis Petre. John Coffin, Thomas Small
wood and George Brewington. Most OF
the parties waived hearing and gave
bail for Court in the sum of $500 each.
John Purnell and Harry Graham were
released for lack Of evidence. Other
writs have been issued and more arrests
are likely TO follow.

( Mlrror of Events Transporting h the

Mexican Herald: Mexico City has just passed through a gasoline famine. Last week the daily car received by the Waters-Pierce company from it's re6neries at Tampico for use in this city failed to put in it's appearance and, as a result, many automobile owners were forced to do without their joy rides for several days. The short age was severely felt by the taxicab companies, one of which reported sixty machines idle for three days. The trouble was result of several accidents to the various cars in transport, most of which was laid to drawheads breaking in the haul up the mountain and through the Tamosopa canon.
 Mexican Herald: Shung Assume, who will succeed Tam Pui-Shun, the Chinese charge d'affaires, ar rived in the city last night and is stopping at the legation. He will begin actively to take over the work of the legation today, as MT. Tam expects to leave soon for the south of the republic and Central America, where Le will visit the points of interest before going to his new post at Madrid. MT. Shung arrived from China, about two weeks ago, but he had bushes: which demanded that he go first to Washington. He afterwards sailed for Havana and spent few days there before sailing for Vera cruz.
 Mexican Herald: Tampico, Nov 24.-Three Mexicans, a man, hi wife and their daughter, were kill led here by gas today, The accident was most unusual, inasmuch as the three died in the open air, fleeing to escape from wave of the deadly fumes, which swept over smal section of the oil field near here Three other persons probably vii die from the same cause.

New Haven, Conn, Oct 2S.-Unless
ex-President Theodore Roosevelt re-
tracts statements made in his recent
speech at Concord ex-Chief Justice
Simeon e. Baldwin, Democratic nom-
inee for governor of Connecticut, will
institute suit for SANDER This an
nouncement was confirmed by Judge
Baldwin, who is making a whirlwind
campaign of the state.
The reply of ex-President Roosevelt
to the letter of Judge Baldwin de-
manding a retraction has been print
ed in the newspapers, but had not
been received by the Judge. In this
reply ex-President Roosevelt refuses
to retract the major part of his speech,
in which he said Judge Baldwin was
a 'retrogressive judge" Roosevelt
says he was misquoted in part of
the rest
The statement which the papers
have printed is not satisfactory to
Judge Baldwin, but he says he will
wait until he receives Roosevelt's re-
ply by letter before taking any formal
action.
Colonel Roosevelt called Judge Bald
win retrogressive in his decisions and
especially regarding labor matters In
an open letter to the papers later he
reiterated his statements.

Both airmen agreed that the most
| welcome sight in all Chicoutimi on
| their arrival was the bathtub in their
| rooms at the hotel. This was luxury
which they had been denied for nine
| days, every one of which had been
| spent arduously Four of the nights
