Democrats Would Confer

Democratic leaders from every sec
ton of the State are urging that con-
ference be held prior to the meeting of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee to line up the party workers through
out the State behind one ticket.
1t is thought that such a conference
might agree upon estate" that could
be nominated Glands down" in the
primary. Not only is it being suggest
ed that this conference be attended by
active county leaders, but also by the
prospective candidates themselves.
1t is likely that such conference
will be held and it will probably be call
ed by Chairman Murray Vandiver OF
the committee. Each county will be
represented and efforts will be made to
ascertain the sentiment concerning the
Governorship and preferences for At
torney-General and Comptroller.
At present State Senator Arthur P.
German, Jr., of Howard county, is mos+
talked of for the Governorship A
number of well-known Democrats ave
called on him recently at his office in
Baltimore and discussed the situation.
Politicians are eagerly waiting for
some announcement from State Sena-
tor Blair Lee, of Montgomery county.
There are many Democrats who believe
he will be a candidate.

Laurel Four County Fair.

An extensive and liberal program for
harness racing, on the grounds of the
Association, has been prepared by the
Racing Secretary, Mr.. Frederick
Dallam.
During the five days of this meet,
June %, 20, 80, July l and 8, there
will be distributed 1880 in purses.
This liberal distribution among owners
of harness racers, had been approved
by the Executive Committee.
The track itself came out of the
severe winter in fine shape, and with
little improvement it is the general
opinion of horsemen that new records,
for the half-mile circle, will be hung
up.
The management has also decided to
place the price of admission at so cents
including grandstand. Cheap railroad
rates the same as during the fair last
fall will be in effect
Any further information of the sub
ject will be cheerfully furnished either
by the Race Secretary or the Assistant
Secretary, George E. Baldwin, upon
inquiry.

Has Drum Point Plan

81 have a railroad fever and want to
see the Southern section of Maryland
opened up to commerce"
Thus spoke Governor Crothers with
much enthusiasm in commenting on
the plan by which he was prompted to
call on Attorney General Straus to in
vestigate the legal status of the old
Drum Point Railroad. The purpose
was to bring about the construction
through of a railroad this section of the
country, which, he Skd, is yet in its in
fancy. He would not discuss the details
of the pending negotiations that will &C
compish the desired end.
The Governor already has received
some substantial encouragement of the
project from different sources, under
stood to be New York financiers and
it is generally believed that it will not
be long before the plan will assume de-
finite shape. The Governor said that
the people of Southern Maryland live
in a more insulated section than any
residents of the State, and that it is
time some action be taken to relieve
them of the inconvenience they have
suffered for years.
A direct railroad from Baltimore
over the right of way of the Drum
Point road, thus greatly stimu ing
facilities for the shipment of pr, let's
to the city markets, is what the farm
ers of the lower counties need.
Governor Crothers has had the Drum
Point idea in mind for several weeks.
and it is known that he held frequent
conferences with the Attorney-General
prior to asking him to look into the
legal status of the road, as well as to
the railroad line that branches off to
Mechanicsville, in st. Mary's county.
1t is not to be understood that the
building of a railway line will in any
way interfere with the system of State
roads improvement, as the plans for
road building in the Southern counties
will be pushed along just the same.
According to advices from New
York, Mr. Edward Lauterbach will ask
Governor Crothers, through his repre-
sentative, Mr.. Sturgis, for an extern
ton of time in which to contruct the
railroad from Millersville, to Drum
Point, the southern end of Calvert
county. Mr.. E4dterbach has already
expended nearly half a million dollars
on the grading of the proposed road.
He is anxious to save this investment,
and in order to do so he realizes that
the entire road must be built and
equipped.
Mr. Lauterbach has been in control
of the charter for the construction and
operation IF the projected, road for over
Is years. After grading a section in
Anne Arundel in the early nineties he
temporarily abandoned the project be-
cause of the refusal of Anne Arundel
county to subscribe to 100000 of bonds
of the road. Calvert county voted
100000 and the bonds were placed
with the Mercantile Trust Company, OF
Baltimore city, as trustee, to be avail
able as soon as the >>road was built
through the county. The life of these
bonds expired last year.

Crothers. Mr.. Carl Hardy, chief clerk
of the executive department at Annap-

amendments to the constitution, passed
by the last General Assembly, for pub
LEGATION, in conformity with the consti-

Serving The Public

The sole measure of a stores success
us its ability to serve it's customers
WELL And this involves a great many
elements well-trained, polite sales
people, prompt and accurate delivery
service; and the cheerful adjustment
of any causes of dissatisfaction on the
part of the customer.
4 notable example of a store that
has achieved success through good
service is the department store Of
Hochschild, Kohn & Co., popularity
known as "Baltimore's Best Store"
In lite less than ID years, this store
has grown to be the favored shopping
place of the majority of Baltimore
women. Starting from very modest
beginning, it will have, when pending
improvements are completed, one Of
the largest retail merchandising estab-
lishments south of Philadelphia.
iiOne feature of the Hochschild, Kohn
& Co. policy which has, perhaps, con-
tributed most largely to thier success,
has been their liberal exchange system,
by which purchasers were made to feel
secure in the fact that all goods not
satisfactory suld be returned, and new
goods or the purchase money would be
given for them. This policy, carried
out in spirit and in letter, has won both
the confidence and the regard of the
shopping public.
A well-organized Mail Order Depart
ment enables the readers of this paper
to make their purchases from Messrs.
Hochschild, Kohn & Co., just as if they
were shopping in person-and the same
exchange privilege is extended to out
of-town purchasers who order by mail.

LOBERT AND EWING COME
 TO STRENGTHEN PHILLIPS

Third Baseman Lobert and Pitcher Boh Ewing secured through trade by Phila- delphia from Cincinnati, reported to Man agcr Dooin yesterday, and took part ir the practice of the Phillies
 Both have been at Hot Springs and are in the pink of condition. Lobert was full of ginger around third, and he ran the bases with old-time style The former red holds the record for circling the bases his time being IS S-5 seconds. He runs with a big, even stride. and with body perpendicular to the ground.
 All of the Phillies are on the scene al the present time with the exception of Luderus, obtained from the Chicago Cubs Manager Dooin states that he has heard nothing from the former Cub and car give no reason fer his continued absence and action.
 Luderus is intended as a try-out or util- ity first baseman. It appears a cinch that kitty" Eransfield has that corner driver dcwn with spikes.
 Lobert and Ewing announce their satis- faction with the famous Cincinnati trade and the local option is, incidentally, that Dooin, in spite of what was said to the contrary, got d shade the better of the argument.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-14

which boxing exhibitions can be wit messed not only by club members as was the case in the past, but by the general public, and to give some slight evidence of the favor in which this sport Is now held, I may mention that in the Wells -Moir contest, which took place at Olympia, there were present nearly 5000 enthusiasts
 And in the provinces, as in London, enthusiasm for boxing is increasing. A few eyars ago crowd of a couple o thousands people at a boxing match would have been considered wonderful. Today, however, such Is not the case at all, and the main difficulty which organizers of important contests have to face is to find a hall sufficiently large to hold all who wish to witness 1t.
 Thus at Cardiff recently in the con- test between Welsh and Driscoll, when the two men entered the ring not only was every seat sold, but standing room was also at a premium, while outside the hall thousands stood around await
 ing the verdict.
 Another convincing proof of the ever increasing interest felt in the fstic art Is shown by the large numbers of new members who have recently joined boxing clubs. In my own case, too, since I first took upon myself the task 
 to regain the championship of the world for the white race, I have received shoals of letters from young men giv- ing me particulars as to their boxing credentials and expressing a wish to
 mix it with the best of 'em.' "
 "It is often said,' he continued, that the majority of the public would rath- CT look on than take part in strenuous exercises and sports. If this is SO, surely those who have the courage to put on the gloves and test their ability to hold their own are not to be con- demned.
 "The average crowd who attend a boxing match-a crowd which must certainly include a number of men who box themselves-would, from a healthy. manly point of view, compare favorably with audiences who flock to other classes of entertainment. This in it. self should go far to prove that the art of self-defense can be no bad thing for the physique of those who elect to study it.
 However, it cannot be denied that. to a certain extent, these are somewhat effeminate days. In such times, there fore, it does one good to ponder on the views of that staunch champion of box ing, Conan Doyle. Let me quote what he has written on the art of fisti- cuffs:
 And so also, when the ring has become as extinct as the lists, we may understand that a broader philosophy would show that all things which spring up so naturally and spontane- ously have a function to fulfill, and that it is less evil that two men should, of their own free will, fight until they can fight no more, than that the standard of hardihood and endur- ance should run the slightest risk of be- | ing lowered In a nation which de-
 pends so largely upon the individual
 qualities of her citizens for her de- | fense.
 Do away with war If the cursed l thing can by any wit of men be avoid
 ed but until you see your way to do
 that, have a care in meddling with
 those primitive qualities to which at
 any moment you may have to appeal for your own protection.
