longer unless there is order in which
to pass bills"
The reading clerk had been reading a
great pile of orders in which it seemed
that almost everybody among the list
of employees was getting extra pay.
The members, to find out what was
really going on, not being able to hear
in the rear of the House, had crowded
four deep around the desk of the read
ing clerk. Speaker Trippe explained to
Mr.. Wilkinson that the orders had been
carefully considered by committees, but
Mr.. Wilkinson replied that no committee
should be permitted to legislate for the
people of Maryland; then order was
somewhat restored.
The mass of orders that went through
mainly for special services and as
gratuities, seemed to be endless. and
there was so much confusion that it was
impossible to tell what they totaled, but
they ran into thousands of dollars. 1t
was the final grab at the State treasury,
and though few got all they asked, not
many were turned down entirely.
The last measure to be acted upon
by the House was the amendment to
the Baltimore city charter providing
for the naming of Chief Engineer.
In the Senate the bill was amended so
as to provide that the term of the new
appointee should end in October, 1917,
instead of 1919, as had been proposed
by the city Senators. The bill was
amended over the heads of the city
Senators by county members, and pro
voked quite discussion. The House
cOncurred in the amendment.
Earlier in the night the House had
taken up the Maryland Agricultural
College bill which it had amended and
which the Senate had changed back to
its original form on the protest of some
of the directors named in the original
measure, but who had been eliminated

OAKLAND High Sch COL Notes.

We take great pleasure in announcing
that Robert G. White took fifth honor
at the Inter High School Oratorical
Contest, which was held at Annapolis
on the evening of April 3rd He re-
cited the Last Hymn" a selection
filled with pathos. The fifth place was
quite desirable one, considering that
twenty students, some of whom have
doubtless studied elocution, took part
in the contest.
Dr. VIM. W. Grant spoke to US on
"Oral Hygiene His address was by
no means technical, but so plain as to
be easily understood by all. We are
very much obliged to DR.. Grant and
hope to see him soon again,
Spring has come This fact is ev-
idenced by our boys playing ball and
our girls strolling up and down the

was far from suitable, we celebrated
Arbor Day on April 3rd. A very in
teresting program was given by some
members of the literary society. Mr.
John Martin was present and sang two
beautiful solos, being accompanied by
Miss Daisy Grant, after which the
latter played Grieg's Wedding Day"
and Chaminade's "Marlequin. Mr..
j. Z. Harmed made the address of the
day, considering plant-life in general
and trees IN particular. We wish
to especially thank Mr.. Martin, Miss
Grant and Mr.. Harmed and cordially
invite them to visit US again.
In accordance with the State law,
the school will close on Holy Thursday
and reopen on the following Tuesday.
The school term will close on May 23d.
The literary society expects to render
an exceptionally fine program on that
day, and in order that eacn member
may be well prepared no other meeting
will be held this year. The mock trial
which was advertised will be conducted
on April 18th, by the entire Commercial
Law class.

preferred that the College should go
without money than to see themselves
eliminated as life directors represent
ing an interest that they had agreed to
surrender.
Another feature Of the closing hours
was the killing of the bill to put the
State IN the business of making lime in
Southern Maryland and on the Eastern
Shore through the use of convict labor.
The scheme originated in Southern
Maryland. which always demands some
special concession from the Legislature.
and was bitterly fought by the lime
manufacturers in Western Maryland.
The Senate amended the bill and the
House refused to concur and killed the
measure.
The bank tax reduction bill went
through the House onsits final passage
without more than a perfunctory effort
to amend it, while a great crowd of
bank people, including their lawyers,
looked on expecting strong fight.
At night session there was a long
list of bills on the House file and many
on that of the Senate. The bills in the
House were run off in such rapid fashion
that few could keep track of them, the
roll calls having been filled out in ad-
vance, and but half dozen names, in
GLIDING the first and last, being called.
Usually when an important bill was
about to be passed the Speaker would
call attention to it, but some, includ-
ing the general appropriation bills,
carrying many thousands of dollars,
went through without having been
noticed by anyone except Lloyd Will
kinson, who protested at the rush.
In the Senate the roll call being so
much shorter there was not so much
hurry, though its proceedings was de
layed by debate. As the night wore on
in the House the patience of the men,
weeks, but it emphasized the impor-
lance of the Legislature acting more
promptly and not leaving anything of
Importance till the last night
Nearly every measure of Importance
that has been finally passed on in the
last week could have been more salts
factorily disposed of many days car
Her and with better understanding on
the part Of members what they were
doing.
The Legislature has adjourned with
out having stripped the Republican
Governor of any of the powers he pos
sessed at the beginning of the session,
but in creating new powers it has re-
served them for the Democratic party,
and that the Democrats did not take
away from him the naming of the i'm
pJGtant boards IN Baltimore was Que
not so much to the political hlghminded-
ness Of the Democratic leaders as to
the belief on their part that the people
Of the State believe that the Governor
made as good appointments as he could,
and to undo what he has done might
prove to be their own undoing.

LAWS ENACTED IN THE
MIDST OF UPROAR
Last Hours OF House Argument For
Reducing Membership.

Annapolis, Md, April mo better
argument for Senator Benson's plan to
reduce the membership of the House
of Delegates could be presented than
the scenes in the closing hours of that
body as contrasted with the smaller and
more decorous Senate.
Throughout the evening the House
was a scene of disorder and tumult the
Senate was well-conducted legislative
body.
With the usual rush of unfinished
business, the more than usual number
of important questions still unsettled,
the last night of the session was the
longest in years and did not end in the
Senate until about O'Clock this morn
ing The House had adjourned a half
hour earlier. That the Senate was
later was due to the fact that the city
Senators had postponed to the last
action on the appointments of Governor
Goldsborough
While 1t had been asserted on the
floor that the business of the House
was 10 hours ahead of any previous
session it did not so work out as the
tired and sleepy members found - -.
The proceedings became so disor-
derby and SO unlike a real legislative
body that Lloyd Wilkinson, the Demo-
cratic floor leader, who tor the last few
days has been objecting to the slipshod
manner in which things have been done,
denounced the proceedings as disgrace
full.
Thousands of dollars Of the pubic S
money is being voted away" he said,
''and no one knows what is being done

business of the House be conducted

SPEAKS TO FORESTRY SOCIETY
G. N. Lamb of U. s. Service Tells Of
Work Among Farmers.

WOTA AmOuS fhrmcISs
G. N. Lamb of the United States
Forestry Service spent yesterday with
Prof. Frederick Dunlap and Prof. e. C.
Pegg of the forestry department here.
Mr.. Lamb spoke before the Forestry
Society last night. For the last two
months he has been making a wood
lot study in Missouri, spending most
of his time in the southern part of the
state.
The object of this study is to find
out the, kinds of marketable timber
and where they are, and to tell the
farmers how to measure logs and es-
innate the value of timber. Also a
study of the various markets for tim
Der is being made, so the farmer can
sell his timber to the best advantage
Mr.. Lamb says many farmers receive
very little for theii timber because
they do not know its value nor good
market. For example, man in Illi-
nois sold the timber on 200 acres for
$500. while the lowest estimate of its
value by Mr.. Lamb was $S,000
C. R. Tillotson, who is to follow
up the work of Mr.. Lamb and carry
the information direct to the farm
ers, was to have arrived in Columbia
last night.

RE-UNITE SUMMERS

Miss Edith Parker of Columbia, who
is teacher of domestic science at
Takinogawa, Toxic, Japan, in letter
to Dean Walter Williams refers to
former University students in Japan.
Miss Mary D. Jesse spent the first
year in the Baptist Girls School in
Sendai, the second in Toxic in the
Language School and this year In
Morioka, one of the stricken cities of
the North she writes. "She has had
charge of kindergarten, conducted
Bible classes and helped in the re-
lief of the famine sufferers, work
which gave her fine experience in
practicing the language. In school
work we do not have much opportu-
nifty for speaking in Japanese, as there
are so many English-speaking peo-
pie around us, SO we jump at an op-
portunity to go into the country for a
season.
&C. F. Mccall, for two years stu
dent in Columbia, with his wife and
two sons, lives in Akita, one of the
Northern cities visited this year by
both famine and earthquake. Mr..
McCalls home was in Fulton, Mo. He
has mastered the language and is en-
gagged in active evangelistic work with
Akita as a center and many out-sta-
tions.
&C. E. Robinson and Essie Forsythe
Robinson spent several years in school
in Columbia and in 1907 came to Ja-
pan. With the exception of one year in
the language school in Toxic. they
have lived in Sendai, where he over
sees about twelve churches in and
around the city. Mrs. Robinson's
special work is with the girls and
women of sthe Sendai churches.

Columbia ranked third in the art
exhibit at the State Fair. Sedalia was
first and Joplin second.
Miss Madeline Flint. instructor in
art at Stephens College. who was
judge Of the art exhibit said today:
TO Miss Lillian Johnston, super
visor of art instruction in the Column
bia schools should be given much
of the credit for the excellent showing
made by Columbia at the fair. The
drawings and water-colors sent from
here were very good. The paper cut
ting and coloring work done in the
lower grades was excellent.
Drawing has made great progress
in the public school in the last two
years." said Miss Flint. "The exhibits
show that the work done is student
work. not work done by the instructor
merely for the purpose of exhibition.
Teachers are learning how to train the
hand and mind together. The stu
dents are learning to know how and
why thing is DONE"
