FOR NATIONAL HIGHWAY
Coast-T0-Coast Road, Running Thru
Maryland, Proposed In Congress.

That the Federal Government shall
take over the old ''Braddock road" and
the Cumberland or National turnpike"
in Maryland and make them links in a
coast-to-coast highway is planned in a
bill introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatiVes last Friday by Congressman
Borland, of Missouri, one of the "better
highways" leaders in Congress.
The purpose of Mr.. Borland's bill is
the construction of a splendid model
highway from the Atlantic Coast to the
Pacific Coast. The routes to be follow
ed are"the Braddock road" the Cum
berland or National turnpike" 1.-THE
Boone Lick's road" 1.-THE Old Sante
Fe trail, the Gel Comico road" and
'KearneV's and Dolphin's road"
These are the historic trails in the
early annals of the American nation.
They were blazed by the pioneers as they
advanced on foot to the Pacific Coast.
The bill provides that these roads shall
be amalgamated into one national high
way.
Branch roads connecting with this ma
tional artery are also authorized. One
of these is to start at Washington and
run through Baltimore and Philadelphia
to New York.
The MARYLAND towns and cities men,
toned in the bill as being located on
the old highway from Washington to
Cumberland, which 1t is proposed to buy,
are Frederick, Hagerstown, Cumber-
land and Frostburg. From the latter
point the route follows that of the Old
National Road through Grantsville.
over Keyser Ridge and on through the
State of Pennsylvania.
The bill provides for the appointment
of commission of four, who shall IN
yestigate and report the cost of con-
struction of the proposed highway, what
parts of the "old trails are now in
vested in the various States and main
tanned as freeroads, whether or not the
Government can again get control of the
roads, the cost of improvements such as
constructing bridges and rebuilding the
road.
The roads running through Maryland,

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED
On The "Y" At AItamont Monday
Night-Buried In Oakland.

Tuesday morning shortly after day
break railroad men at Altamont report
ed finding the lifeless body of an I'M
known man lying on the rails of the
"Y'' at Altamont, and from indications
and appearances the authorities arrived
atithe conclusion that the man came to
his death by being run over by an engine
entering the "Y" sometime during the
preceding night and unknown to the
tralnmen at the time.
The man was evidently foreigner as
ne had upon his person letters written
in the Bohemian languag. His remains
were shipped to Oakland yesterday
morning and inferred the same afternoon
in the Odd Fellows cemetery at the
expense of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company.

LENT FALLS ON FEBRUARY 5TH
Season Earlier This Year Than For
Long Time Past.

For only the fourth time since 1888.
l25 years ago, Lent will begin this
winter as early as February 5, Easter
will fall on March %. This forty day
season prescribed by the church as one
OF fasting and prayer never has begun
any earlier except in one year, 1918.
Easter that year fell on March II.
Owing to the early arrival of Lent,
the Season" will be one of the short
est on record. Easter frequently has
fallen in the past as late as April Is or
April Z, and probably will hit around
some of these dates between 1914 and
2O13.
In the latter year, according to the
church almanac, the date again will be
March %. So those who suffer by
falling off in business this winter in con-
sequence of the early date need not
look for repetition of the situation
during their lifetime, for it will not
happen again for 100 years. In the
past, Easter has come as early as March
% IN 1888. 1915 and 1856.
The moon is responsible, and according
to officials at the federal nautical
almanac office, this responsibility tor
such changes in dates is not born by
Luna, as observing people see her in
the skies, but by another moon. 1t is
a complicated astronomical moon"
In the early church, Easter was
identical in date with the Passover, as
in fact the two festivals are identical in
their root After the Nicaean council
of A. D. 325, Christians adopted the
Jewish method OF reck oning time by
lunations, which are the movements of
the moon. These lunations do not tally
with the facts of astronomy. The re-
suit Is that Easter calculations are so
extraordinarily difficult as to lead to oc-
casional mistakes such as that of 1918.
when Easter was observed on the wrong
day.

KNIVES AND SAWS IN
MJRDERER'S CELL.
Plans of flaus to Cheat the Gallows
Frustrated by Sheriff Hochard.

A sensation developed at Somerset
last Thursday when two ordinary table
knives, ground down to a keen edge
and with dagger-like points, were found
under loose board in the cell of John
W. Maus. convicted December 10 in
Somerset Criminal Court for the murder
of Harrison Brown, of Garrett county,
a rural mail carrier. Maus emphatically
denies that he put the knives there, or
that he knew anything of their presence,
but prisoner In an adjoining cell de-
clares that he saw Maus with one of the
knives. Among the bedclothes in Maus'
cell was also found an envelope contain
ing powdered glass, which might have
been used in grinding edges on the knives
or intended as means of suicide.
The sensational discoveries were made
by Sheriff Charles F. Hochard, who de-
cided upon a search of Maus' cell after
repeated statements by Maus to other
prisoners that he would not be hanged.
Little attention was paid to these
threats, at first, but their frequent re-
iteration led to the search and to the
finding of the knives and the glass.
The knives are cf the kind used by the
prisoners when they eat and must have
been struggled into the cell by Maus.
The saws found in the cell are crude,
but they might have served Maus'
purpose. Sheriff Hochard says they
are effective enough, at least, to saw off
water pipe.
Several other prisoners in the Jail say
that Maus has confessed to them at
different times that he killed Mail Car
rier Harrison Brown, but Maus publicly
denies the crime. The prisoners say
that Maus has told them that when he
shot Brown, Brown fell to the ground
and never moved muscle. Maus, they
say, seems to pride himself on his good
shot.
The two knives found Thursday morn
ing, it is believed, were intended by
Maus to be used as weapons of defense
in the event that he got out of Jail.
