"Old Home Week" For Elkton

Elkton Improvement Association held
a special meeting, in Council Hall on
Wednesday evening, which members and
others citizens of the town attended, TO
consider the suggested "Old Home Week.
tobe held on the mornings of the "Chau
tauqua Week" at Elkton during the com
ing summer. After discussion by Presi-
dent Haines, Secretary Morrison, Rev.
DIR. John McElmoyle, H. NJ. Mccullough,
Esq, Dr. John H. lamar, Daniel S. Ter
rell, Herman Jeffers, Joseph H. Sloan,
and others, on motion of DR.. McElmoyle,
it was declared to be the sense of the
meeting that the proposed "Old Home
Week was desirable. DR.. McElmoyle
said he had been in many communities,
but had never seen one that held the 10y
atty and affection of its former residents
as did Elkton. The Chautauqua meeting
would help the proposed festival, and
the formers equipment which would be
available, would lessen the latter's ex-
penses. Messrs. Jeffers and Sloan re-
called features of like festivals at Will
Transport and Harrisburg, Pa, and it
was thought an attractive program for
the one proposed here could readily be
arranged. Finally, on motion of DR.. Nc
Elmoyle, President Haines was instructed
to appoint committee of ten residents
on plan and arrangements for the festival
with power to appoint whatever subor-
dnate committees it might deem neces-
sary. An auxiliary committee of ladies
from the several churches of the town,
will also be appointed to manage details
of the festival for which they are spec
tally fitted. The project will be further
discussed at future meetings The senti-
ment of the first meeting was that the
festival was feasible and could be made
entirely successful by earnest and con-
certed work on the part of its promoters.

STATE ROAD COMMISSION BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE--WORK TOO EXPERIMENTAL

In a special message to the Legislature
this week, Governor Goldsborough en-
phasi-ed the fact that unless liberal
appropriation should be made for roads
and the money made available without
any time limitations, it will be neces-
sary for the State to cease work on a
number of pending contracts, as the
money allowed to most of the counties
Under the old Appropriation has been al
ready spent and, in many of them there
are deficits. Cecil county figures in the
latter list, the Governor S financial state
ment showing that $12,S92 more has been
disbursed in this county than the entire
allotment for the county, in addition to
amounting to $15,2OS.
Because of this condition of affairs the
Governor has favored the passage Of the
Goslin bill, which carries a new appro-
priation of $4,000, 10000. This bill, how
ever, when it came to be considered by
the House, was amended SO as to cut the
appropriation down to $',S45, 100000. The
members of the House expressed them
selves as unwilling to adopt the Senate
scheme to strip the Governor of the
power to APPOINT new Commission; but
at the same time declared their judg-
ment in favor of the smaller appropria-
tion ''in view of the largely experimental
stage of roadmaking as an Offset to
road destruction by automobiles, and in

EIkton's "chautauqua" Assured

Elkton's proposed 'Chautauqua Week.
| was definitely arranged for at a meeting
held In the Firemen's room in Council
Hall on Tuesday evening. Dr. A. e.
| Turner, for five years PRESIDENT Of Hast
ings, Neb., College, now an assistant d.
rector of the Swarthmore Chautauqua AS
ISOLATION, was present and spoke at some
length on the scope and objects Of the
movement. 1t was finally agreed to make
the local organization, temporarily eff
fected at the meeting held ON March IS,
permanent. Henry NJ. Mccullough, Esq,
was made chairman and w. D. Bratton
secretary of the committee of residents
to treat with the Association. Messrs.
Mccullough, Bratton, Frank r. Scott,
| Charles B. Finley, Sr., Reginald Con-
stable and Daniel s. Terrell, of those
present, agreed to become each one or
ten or more guarantors of the sale of 400
season tickets at 50 each, for the pro-
| posed "Chautauqua Week., with the
privilege of selling 800 tickets, by giving
thirty days notice before the date select.
ed for the opening or the week. II 400
season tickets are sold, the Association
Will donate 800 general admission tickets,
worth 80 cents each, ana 1900, IL 800 sea-
son tickets are sold. The contract was
signed by Messrs. Mccullough and Brat
ton, for the local com-fttee, and by DR..
Turner for the Association ON Wednes-
day. The dates for the Chautauqua meet
ings will be either the week beginning
June II or July l. The general admis-
sion tickets to be donated will be given
to purchasers of season tickets, mer-
chants and others, in proportion to the
number they may purchase, for presenta-
tion to persons residing outside of Elk
ton, with the view to attracting visitors
and the incidental benefit TO local busi-
| ness. The Chautauqua meetings with
their varied attractions will be widely
and effectively advertised 1t has been
suggested that the week be made an
''Old Home Week, the program for
which could be given during the morning
of each day.

Local Option Still In Balance

The tSate Wide Local Option Bill,
amended so as to provide that Baltimore
City, Baltimore, Allegany, Anne Arundel,
Charles, st. Mary's and Washington
counties, Ellicott City and Havre de
Grace shall vote as a whole and not by
wards or districts on the retention of
saloons, passed the House of Delegates
on Saturday by a vote of 81 to 81 The
amendment was suggested by Senator
Lee and forced by the Montgomery dele
gates. Senator Crothers and others
strove to have the bill reported in the
Senate early in the week without sue
cess and Thursday was spent in a fruit
less battle for its consideration. The
bill, 1t was expected, would be reported
yesterday and given second reading to-
day. If brought to a vote, it is likely to
pass, but it's opponents hope to be able
to talk it to death as the Senate has no
rule to limit debate.

view of the fact that the problem OF
making roads which will Withstand auto
mobile traffic is still far from beine
solved. and in view of the already heavy
bonded Indebtedness the State has as
sumed for road building"
OF the $2,845, 100000 appropriated in this
House bill the allotments were as fol-
lows:-
$500, 100000 for Southern Maryland.
$45,O0000 for the Elkton Perryville road.
S500,000.00 for baltimore City.
s2,OOO,00O.O0 for general road construc-
tion.
While this measure was going through
the House, the Senate was passing bill
carrying a similar appropriation, but
taking the appointment of the new Com
mission out of tie Governors nands. II
provided that the Commission should
consist of four members, two of whom,
tThomas Perry, of WicomIco county, and
Francis C. Hutton, of Montgomery are
named in the bill, while the other two
are to be named by the Governor, VINO rs
also empowered to designate the chair
man. 1t is rumored that the Governor
will veto this bill II it ever gets up to
him. 1t is also ccntended that the eSn-
ate will not accept the House bill, giving
the Governor power to name the new
Commission. Under these circumstances
1t looks very much as IL 70 new appro-
priation might be made by this Legisla-
ture.

State Auditor ELECT John +. O'Malley, to
Delegate w. P. Smallwood, of Prince
Georges county, to change his vote from
AYE" to mo-, on the third reading of
the State Wide Local Option Bill, made
its report last Friday holding that, owing
to variances in the statements of Mr.
O'Malley and George Baldwin, Senate
employe, who had brought him and Mr.
Smallwood together, the charge had been
substantiated to such an extent that the
States Attorney for Anne arundel
county should be instructed to lay the
mater before the Grand Jury of that
county for action. The report was sign
ed by all the members of the Committee
and by Attorney General Poe, who was
present at and assisted in the investiga-
tion. The testimony In the case will be
submitted to the Grand Jury at the OPEN
ing of the Spring term of the Anne Arun-
del Chcuit Court on April 15. Mr.. O'Mal
ley appeared voluntarily before the COM
mittee and denied the charge, waving
secured, had he been summoned. Miss
Nellie Dean, of Caroline county, House
stenographer, was ca, ed by the Com
mittee. From her place in the corridor
of the State House she had seen Messrs.
Smallwood and O'Malley conversing. The
latter looked deathly pale and greatly
excited, and as he passed her she told
him to stand by his guns" The COM
mittee made another report, exonerating
Delegate Clendenin, OF Cecil, whose name
had been linked with Mr.. Smallwoods in
the latter's published statements as to
what had passed in mis- talk with Mr..
oMalley. Sheriff Beasey on Wednesday
put Mr.. o'Malley under arrest at An
napolis, and he gave bail in $4,000 for a
hearing before Justice Davis. who held
him for Court under like bail.

PRIEST AND
 GETS 50 DAYS IN JAIL
tFrom Thursday's Daiiyl

While returning from the southern part of the county Tuesday night on duties affecting the Catholic Church of this city. Rev Father Mandin. was the subject of vici- ous and disgraceful verbal attack on the train by stranger whose name afierward was learned to be Henry Goldbauni.
 witnesses of the affair state that Father Mandin was assailcd withou, any provocation whatever and in addition to the blaspheming of his church, the tirade of abuse against him personally assumed that venom that called for resistance be- ing offered among several passeng- CTS. in which Conductor Mccarthy stepped forward and knocked Gold baum down twice in rapid success sion.
 The train was coming into Kirk land station at the time and after that point was reached telegrams werned officers in this city to arrest the man on his arrival. This was done by Officer Robert Robbins, and Goldbaum was placed in the city jail. Lateryhe was released on a cash bond of $50 After it was learned that the offence was com mittcd outside of the municipal boundary Goldbaum was turned over to the county. His trial took place yesterday afternoon before Judge Chas. II. McLane and he was given a straight sentence of sixty days in the county jail.
 Passengers on the train condemn ed the unoallcd for attack on the priest and his church, and com mended Rev. Mandin for his gentle manly demeanor and his complac ency in submitting to the brutal and unjustifabIe assault made on himself and his religious calling.

SCENE OF STORY LAID
 IN MILE-HICH CITY.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Harold Titus will be recalled by a number of Prescottonians who had the pleasure of meeting him during his sojourn last summer. Mir. Titus is blooming out as fine short story writer. having had some thrilling stories in Golfers, Munseys and other periodicals. recently His lat est is in the November number of the Cavalier and treats almost en- tirely of Prescott. the Yavapai Club and Yavapai county. Here are some of the opening lines;
 "A great place is the Yavapai Club of Prescott. Arizona. up there in the hills where men are yet biz and free. the air un,ainted. where they talk a various language, where the extra chair Is always before the fire. and the hearty. warm, gripping palm always extended.
 Ideas are there. and determina- tion--the visions and courage of the pioneer; for it Is not yet settled country where habits of fife are deeply formed and men find success by cunning rather than by strength of heart"
 This story will be sure to enjoy wide local reading
