PLANT LIFE IN MARYLAND
Described In State Weather Services
New Volume

The State Weather Service since it:
organization in 1892 has published
many reports. including two large vol
umes in the present series. The first
volume dealt in general way with
the broader Photographed anC
meteorological problems affecting the
State at large. The second contained
the results of special study of the
climate and weather of Baltimore and
vicinity, and is one of the most eX-
haustive, as well as useful, reports OF
its kind that has ever been issued.
The present volume embraces a prac-
teal discussion of the plant life of
Maryland and allied subjects, the in
depreciation of which is largely de-
pendent on the physiographic and
climatic conditions which characterize
the State.
Not only has the distribution of
plant life been found to be dependent
upon the climate and physiography,
but also upon the agricultural soils
which, in turn, find their ultimate
Interpretation in the underlying rocks
from which they have been derived,
thus bringing the work of the State
Geological Survey and the State
Weather Service into close associa-
tion.
The present botanical survey of the
State, especially with the view of de-
termining the relations of natural veg
citation to crop possibilities, was un-
dertaken in 1904. This work has
been in charge of DR.. Forrest Shreve,
of Talbot county, formerly of the
Johns Hopkins University and now a
member of the staff of the Desert
Botanical Laboratory of the Carnegie
Institute. He has had associated with
him in the work DR.. M. A Chrysler,
of the Maine Agricultural College,
and DR.. Frederick H. Blodgett, Mr..
w. Ralph Jones and Mr.. Charles S.
Ridgway, of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity.
=! No useful features are omitted. The
relation of plants to climate and soils,
their variations with change of topo-
graphic situations, their characteristic
groupings and habitants, as we'll as
their relationship to cultivated crops
are all discussed.
The agricultural resources of the
State are fully described as well as all
of the more important crops and the
correct methods for their cultivation.
The relative production of the coun-
ties is given in tables and shown on
small sketch maps, and chapter is
devoted to the forests of the State and
their economic products. The work is
one of the most complete of its kind
ever issued and should prove very use
ful not only to botanists, but to all
interested in the agricultural future
of the State and in the betterment of
farm practice.
The officers of the State Weather
Service are: Dr. William Bullock
Clark, of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. director and chief; Prof. w. I.
l.. Taliaferro. of the Maryland Az
ricultural College, secretary and
treasurer, and Mr.. w. II. Alexander,
chief of the Baltimore office of the
United States Weather Bureau, meter
ologist in charge.

Postponed Once Again

The argument on demurrers in the
case of certain negroes of Annapolis
against the Democratic registrars in
the Third Ward of this city, involv
ing the validity of the Annapolis
municipal election law, set for yes
terday, was again postponed.
The case was to have been argued
in the United States District Court in
Baltimore, but owing to the press of
work under which he has been labor
ing, Judge Morris was unable to take
up the case. Another meeting of
counsel has been called for next Tues
day, when date for final argument
will be set 1t seems not at all un-
likely now that he case may go over
until the Fall.

NAVYS NEW PRECEDENT
Publicity OF The Press Given
Naval Matters Is Sufficient
Punishment
IT'S SAID 1T FITS THE CRIME
Secretery Meyer's New Plan A
Novel 0ne

Secretary of the Navy Meyer went
on record yesterday as recognizing
that officers against whom charges for
court-martial had been brought may
be sufficiently punishedfor the.alleged
offenses by the public press, so that a
court-martial is not necessary.
This establishes precedent, so far
as is known, which holds that an
officer of the Government may be
sufficiently punished in news articles.
thus making unnecessary any action
by naval court.
The cases on which this precedent
was established are those of Com
mander Frank X. Hill, of Ohio,
whose family are close friends of
President Taft, and who was until re-
Gently in command of the gunboat
Marietta; Lieutenant Wilbert Smith.
executive, navigator and ordnance
officer, and Lieutenant Paul r. Damp
man, chief engineer of that ves sci.
Secretary Meyer approved tie pro-
ceedings and recommendation of the
court of inquiry which had been ap-
pointed TO investigate charges that
these officers were guilty of "keeping
a dirty ship" The court WAS COM
posed of the three retired rear-admi-
rails who formed the Marine Court of
Inquiry, which Immediately preceded
the Marietta investigation, Rear Ad-
mirals A. S. Parker, C. H. Davis and
r. B. Bradford.
They recommended that Com mander
Hill, and Lieutenant Smith be CEN
sured by the department and that
Lieutenant Dampman be cautioned,
each for not properly performing his
duties and not keeping the Marietta
in better condition.

FROM BAD TO WORSE
Tax Rate For EastpOrt And Germantown
Increased 90cts Instead OF 74cts

MIR. Editor:
Dear Sir-Upon further investiga-
tion / find that there is only S425. 900
upon the assessment books for East
port and Germantown, and assuming
that this will increase $25. 900 by the
placing upon the books new proper
ties in the next month, will give a
basis of S450,000.
Now, as ! stated in my article of
last evenings issue. it will take
4,032 for lights and two policemen at
Eastport and Germantown, the tax
rate must be increased upon this basis
80 cents upon the $500 which will
be $4,050, SIS above the required
amount of $4,032. Example:
Two policemen per month S 100
Lights at Eastport loo
Lights at Germantown 20

$ 336
Multiply $936 by 12-s4.O32

Multiply 1896 by 12-$4, ,O32
Therefore the person who owns
little home at Eastport will have to
pay tax for 1910 of $2.54 per $10O
and in 1911 it will be $3.50 for
then the increase of 6 cent in the
State tax becomes operative.
This rate of $3.50 would ven-
ture to say, is greater than any city
in the Union. excepting possibly
Chicago, and what do the poperty
holders get. One policeman and a
few lights. Is not this absurd upon
its face? l cannot conceive why
this was done, unless to try and
force these places into Annapolis.
/ have been informed that Brook
lyn will more than be benefited by
this law for, as / stated, the whole
Fifth district is assessed for Brook
lyn's policemen and lights, and that
between thirteen and fourteen thous-
and dollars in fines and liquor licenses
will be turned over to them.
Therefore, anyone can see the injus-
tice such a law enacts. Taking a
whole district with large revenue
and two little villages with no reve-
nue. at all, and say to the villagers
you have got to support yourselves
