CITIZENS MAKE DEMAND
FOR RACE SEGREGATION
White People of Baltimore
County to Appeal to Mary
land Legislature.

BALTIMORE. Md. September 3O.-In
accordance with resolution adopted at
a mass meeting last night of residents
of Baltimore county to protest against
the location at Mount Washington,
suburb, of Morgan College. a colored
institution. the next session of the Mary
land legislature will be asked to pass
race segregation law for the metro
politan belt of Baltimore county iden-
teal in principle with the segregation
ordinance of Baltimore city.
Decide Upon Area.
According to the plan decided on, the
county is to be divided into plats CORE
spending to city blocks, for segregation
purposes. the same rules of occupancy
to apply to them as now ap-
piled to city blocks: thus an entire plat
will be occupied by members of only one
race. The report of a committee ap-
pointed to confer with the trustees of
Morgan College stated that the trustees
had been given TO understand that the
residents of Mount Washington and
vicinity were inccnsed at the threatened
invasion by colored people.
Indignation Aroused.
No matter how praseworthy the work
of the college might be. it was argued
the agitation of the selection of a site
at Mount Washington would arouse in
disnation and resentment. The trustees.
il is said. have given assurance that no
purchase of a site had been made or a
Gift of such a site accepted.

Superintendent of Bathing
Beach Reports Present Fa-

Declaring that the season just closed
has demonstrated conclusively that the
facilities of the municipal bathing beach
are inadequate, DR. w. Il. Hudson.
superintendent of the beach. in report
transmitted to the Commissioners to-
day. recommends the establishment of
swimming pools in various sections of
the city.
There are two options in providing
swimming accommodations. both Of
which have their merits according to
Dr. Hudson One is the establishment
of beaches on the river front.
IL this plan should be adopted, he
says, it will provide only for those who
are able to swim and. while floating
baths may be provided for the begin
ners. the places where they could be
located would be so remote as to render
them useless for the large majority.
Solution of Problem.
THE establishment of swimming pools
in the various sections of the city is. to
my mind. the true solution of the prob
lem" states DR. Hudson. While l ap-
prove of the river plan, | am inclined
to think that. inasmuch as the juris-
diction of the river and tidal basin rests

The advantages of swimming pools in
the various sections of the city would be
many Chief of them would be the fact
that small children could go unaccom-
panied and the distance would not be

JEWISH NEW YEAR
BEGINS TOMORROW EVE
Rosh Hashanah Marks Ami
versary of Creation of World
5.674 Years Ago.

Rosh Hashanah. or New Year day. Of
| the Jewish race will begin tomorrow
evening This is the opening of the holt
day season. which will not end until the
evening of October %. when the feast OF
the conclusion will be observed. Some of
the large stores-as Well the smaller
ones-wiI close, while others have adopt
ed policy of remaining open on Jewish
holidays
in the Jewish tradition" says a bulle
tin just issued under the auspices OF the
Jewish people of this country. the Rosh
Hashanah marks the anniversary OF the
creation OF the world supposed to have
taken place 1914 years ago. The present
Rosh Hashanah, therefore. will mark the
beginning of the year 5674.
THE change of date, however. is Of lit
tie or no Importance, and If the Jewish
New Year day had no further significance
its appeal to the Jew would be very faint
indeed 1t is not the change of year. but
the change of life that this day stresses.
that makes 1t stand out as one OF the
hottest days in the Jewish calendar. Here
in it radically differs from our civil New
Year: it is a day set apart for introspec-
ton and self-examina ton
Sacred Character or Day.
.'The sacred character of this day is i'm
piled in the two other names by which it
is known. viz, the Day of Memorial and
tie Day of the Blowing of the Trumpets
In the first place it is the Day of Memo
RIAL or Remembrance. AS such, it calls
upon the Jew to remember the divine pur-
pose of his life: secondly. it is the Day OF
Ter,
is to rouse Israel from his self-compla-
cency and stir him to high resolves and
nobler deeds.
The Rosh Hashanah derives its signif
canoe from the fact that il is but the
introduction to the Day OF Atonement.
which follows ten days later. Before one
can realize the need of atonement II is
necessary that he become conscious OF
his shortcomings. for SO long as we
imagine ourselves whole it may never
occur to us that we need physician; SO
long as we do not admit our sinfulness
we shall hardly feel the need of being
forgiven.
Day for Atonement.
Hence to make the atonement posi-
BILE, we must have Rosh Hashanah. which
is also designated as the Yom Hadin-
the day of judgment-the day wherein
we weigh ourselves in the balance. and,
perforce, find ourselves wanting; for
there Is on righteous man upon earth
that dOeth good always and sinneth not.
The essential ceremony Of the serv-
ices in the synagogue on Rosh Hashanah
is the blowing of the trumpet. in accord
ance with the injunction in Levticus.
23:A. which reads, In the seventh
month. on the first day of the month.
shall We have a Sabbath. a memorial of
blowing of trumpcts and holy convoca
ton.
In the Reform Synagogue, Rosh Ha-
shanah is celebrated from sunset of Oc-
tober l to sunset of October =. whereas
among orthodox Jews the holiday does
not end until sunset Of October J.

Daughter of Joseph Burr.

Mrs. Getty was the daughter of the
late Joseph Burr of Colesville. and the
late President Cleveland was a frequent
visitor at her fathers farm. She married
the son of the late Gen. Getty. and the
Getty farm has been known for years as
one of the largest and best in Mont
gomery county. 1t has been leased
several summers by 4. A. Birney, former
district attorney in Washington
With her daughter. Mrs. Getty had been
driving for about an hour yesterday. when
she turned toward home. The horse be-
haved perfectly until a short distance
from the Getty farm, when it suddenly
became frightened and reared on its hind
legs, almost throwing the occupants from
the carriage The horse then dashed
madly for home.
Mrs. Getty tried vainly TO check the
career of the runaway horse. As 1t came
TO the entrance to the farm she tried to
guide ii between the two high stone gate
posts. but the carriage sWerved and
threw both occupants out. Mildred Getty
was thrown lightly to the ground. but
Mrs. Getty was hurled against one of the

Proposed Bill a Mistake.

The touring roads class desires to get
away as far as possible from local con-
troll To accomplish this bill is now
pending in Congress which provides that
new office shall be crea ted-that OF
public highway commissioner, who shall
keep his office at Washington where he
may not be influenced, nor even impressed
by the warnings of people among whom
the roads should radate. The bill also
provides that all questions as to location
method of construction and maintenance
shall be finally determined by the COM
missioner of public highways.
If such provision as that shall ever
be written into a federal law the joy
rider will indeed reign supreme.
1t is not a road nor yet a few roads
that we want. What we must have is
general system of good roads extending
throughout the length and breadth of the
land.
Il fully realize that / am not in har-
mony with the dominant spirit of this
great roads congress. / am conscious
that body of delegates here are MEM
bers of the American Automobile Asso-
citation. the National Roads Association
or some other organization affiliated with
them.
For Plain Peoples Plan.
You, gentlemen, are seeking to pro-
mote the construction and maintenance
of limited mileage of excellent high
ways while l am seeking to secure the
construction and maintenance of a gem
eral system Of good roads. You want
$4,000 miles of expensive touring roads
to be built in forty years. / want a
million miles of business and post roads
to be built in five years. i appeal to you
to withdraw your opposition to a plain
peoples plan. which we desire to pass
through Congress at the next session.
Our plan will not be expensive and a
vast majority of the people favor it.
In the last Congress we passed
through the House a bill providing a
yearly contribution to each mile of roads
in the states which should be constructed
and maintained according to specified
standards. The bill failed in the Senate
am informed that the American Auto
mobile Association claims the credit for
It's defeat. But had that bill become a
law it is my candid opinion that within
one year it would have given us $1,000
miles of improved roads and in five years
would have given us a million miles,

RECORD PRICE PAID
BY FEDERAL BANK
Figure of S81 Per Square
Foot Highest Level in
That Locality.

The price paid for the property at the
southeast corner of 18th and q streets
northwest of SS1 per square foot by the
Federal National Bank makes the trans
action from that standpoint alone the
most notable in the history of the city.
In this estimate of the value no account
is taken Of the building. which is a
five-story structure, and in its present
form is available not only for the uses
of the bank hut also for office purposes.
Generally speaking. however, the consid-
Grafton, which WAS S2.II,OOO is regarded
as what was paid for ground having 4
frontage on 18th street of 1863 feet and
on G. street of Sl19 feet, and an area of
3.11S square feet
1t is the highest level reached in trans
actions in business property in this To-
cality. Six years ago SIC per square foot
was paid for the corner to the south on
the same square. The latter property,
now improved by n modern office buhd-
ing. has a smaller area. as it contains
o,4S1 square feet with frontages of about
twenty-eight feet on street and eighty
five feet on 18th street.
y still higher figure is said to have
been paid fur the northwest corner OF
10th and i streets northwest, which
changed hands aaain last year. although
the deed transferring the title to the new
owner has only recently been recorded.
1t is said the consideration. which was
not announced, was sol 600, and on that
basis the per foot price for the Los
square feet would amount to $7S. The
ground dimensions, however. are unusual,
as 1t extends along F street only 16. 40
feet, with frontage of III feet on 10th
street,
