Utilities Board Rejects Negro Law
yer's Complaint.

On Thursday of last week Philip D. Laird,
chairman of the Public Service Commission,
handed down an opinion in the case OF
W. Ashbie Hawkins, the colored lawyer,
against the Baltimore, Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railway Company, in which Haw-
kins charged that the company had pro-
vided him with an inferior stateroom, and
that he had to wait until after white passen-
gers had eaten before he was provided
with food on one of the cOmpanys boats.
Chairman Laird, speaking for the Com
mission, said, I'VE will dismiss the COM
plant, because we cOnnot find that there
has been any violation of the law"
Then he gave some salient reasons for
reaching that conclusion. saying a personal
inspection of the boat had been made and
1t was found that while the staterooms
provided for the colored passengers were
inner rooms they were not poorly ventilated
as charged. He added that in the interest
of peace between the two races it would
be unwise to allow the cOlOred passengers
to occupy the dining-rOom at the same
time the white passengers were eating and
as somebody had to wait when the boat
was crowded, no special discrimination
could be charged against the company
The suggestion that the dinine-room be
partitioned off to meet the situation wa:
considered impracticable.

Maryland legislature.

A forestry bill has been introduced by
Delegate Cummings. 1t provides for an
appropriation of $4,000 year for the next
two years to enable the State Board of
Forestry to take measures for the control
Of the chestnut bark disease The meas
ure is similar to the Pennsylvania statute
on the subject
Delegate Waters, of this county, has in
troduced in the House an amendment to
the Jim Crow" law. making it necessary
for railroads in fair time to provide sepa-
rate compartments for white and colored
passengers. 1t also requires electric cars
running 20 miles or more out of city to
have separate places for the two races
Mr.. Waters says that his bill is designed
to strengthen the Jim Crow" act. He says
that during fair time. when large crowds
ride on railroad trains, the negroes crowd
into the cars which are reserved for white
people and that the law is violated every
time there is rush of passengers.
Statewide compulsory education for the
children of Maryland is provided in the
compulsory education bill which passed its
| final reading in the House last Friday The
measure went to the Senate Monday even
ing, where it is expected that it will pass
without alteration. The passage of this
law will bring Maryland in the class of all
but four States Of the Union that have
such statute. The measure is similar to
the law in force in Baltimore city. AS ex-
tended to the coInties it has met all OBJ
jections by provision making its enforce
ment optional with the county school
boards, thus giving to the more progressive
counties authority to build up effective
school systems without affecting those
counties that may feel that they are not
yet ready for it. The bill also provides for
only four months Of consecutive attend
ance Of children between the ages of 8
and ID years. and authority is given the
county school boards to so arrange this
period that it will not interfere with the
work Of the Gamers, farmers or those en-
Gagged in any industy in which the service
Of children may be required.

many years has been the leader of the
church choir. Not alone in the church cir
Gle will his loss be keenly felt, but also in
the business world of our little town. where
he bore himself ever with kindly, honor
able spirit toward his fellow-men. Mr..
Reddick was one of the directors of the
Town Hall. and served for number of
years in the Town Council
Always bright and cheerful, with kindly
greeting and pleasant word for everyone,

memory of those who met him daily in
the walks of life.

relatives and friends paid the last loving
tribute. The funeral was held at the M

building of God. an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens" There we're

from whence cometh my help My help
cometh from the Lord. which made heaven
and earth.
HE will not suffer thy foot to be moved ;
he that keepeth thee will not slumber
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall
neither slumber nor sleep.
THE Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is
thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun
shall not smite thee by day. nor the moon
by night.
THE Lord shall preserve thee from all
evil he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out
and thy coming in from this time forth.

Resolutions or Respect.

| Whereas, 1t having pleased Almighty
God to remove from our midst Rev. Thomas
j. Packard, D. D., the Christ Church Chap
ter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, de-
string to express their deep sense of loss
met February 18th, 1912, and passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That through the death of our
beloved rector our parish and our church
| have suffered great loss, and one from
which it will, indeed, be difficult to recover.
He was an energetic rector. an impress
sive speaker and learned scholar. and had
won his way into the affections of the peo-
pie in our community. not only in the
church but of all who knew him. In con-
versation he was cheerful and entertaining,
and sympathetic and kind in time Of
trouble His qualifications were ideal for
a minister of the gospel, and his fifteen
years of service here were of the greatest
benefit to the parish and the people with
whom he came in contact. He was broad
minded and progressive. and while living
the life Of true Christian himself, he did
not expect too much of others, and never
Stunned nor rebuked too severely those
who erred, but was always ready with a
helping hand. word of encouragement or
an act of kindness for his fellow-man, no
matter of what faith he happened to be.
He was an enthusiastic Brotherhood man,
Away being great advocate of its prin-
ciples, and was untiring in his efforts to
bring into the fold any who were still out
side, and always realizing the great benefit
of prayer.
He was prominent in general church
work, being held in the highest esteem by
priests and laymen at large. For several
years he was one of the assistant secreta-
ries Of the House of Bishops and member
Of the Committee on Bible Revision.
DIR. Packard was 81 years of age. just
in his prime and might have given many
more years service under Christs banner
had he lived, but God has seen fit to take
him from our midst and we must submit -
His will be done.

later and furnished baltic his appearance
here for preliminary trial.
The brides father and two brothers swore
at the hearing Monday that she was fifteen

taken advantage of the privilege allowed
her by leap year and had written to Byrne
suggesting and planning the elopement.
She also swore that she had let Byrne I'M
derstand that she was nineteen years old.

swore to falsehood. He swore that his
wife had let him believe she was nineteen

eral days before the elopement in which
she told him she was nineteen years old
