 Cars Speeded Back Before Storm.
 Eight automobiles that started out from this city Tuesday afternoon to do a publicity stunt for the Chautau- qua meetings to be held here, hurried back in a race with the electrical storm, which threatened to break every minute as the cars speeded in from the Grosvenordales. Rain did fall and landed their charges at their destina- tions. some of those who were out de- veloping an uneasy feeling before the city was reached. The cars had been decorated for the trip and a tour of towns in this section planned, so the storm materially interfered with the plans of the day.

Hoof and Mouth Disease.

More stringent methods have been
adopted in Maryland to stamp out the
hoof-and-mouth disease. Governor
Phillips Lee Goldsborough has issued
a proclamation prohibiting cunning
and dogs running at large in Freder-
ick county. This measure affects Al
legany, Washington. Carroll, Har-
ford, Cecil, Howard, Baltimore, Mont
gomery, Prince Georges and Anne
Arundel counties. Not only is hunt
ing with dogs prohibited, but dogs
will not be permitted to run at large.
While gunners regret this restrict
ion at the beginning of the hunting
season, there seems to be a general
disposition, as far as known, to heed
the caution in the interest of public
good. Should the prohibition contin-
ue throughout the cunning season the
effect will be to increase materially
the supply of game for following sea-
sons.
More effective work is expected this
week. The Federal authorities will
be able to give greater assistance to
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board,
and the Governors proclamation will
aid materially in confining the infec-
ton.
Eleven Federal inspectors from the
Burau of Animal Industry of the Ag-
riculture department were in Mary
land yesterday, under the general di-
rection of DR.. William C. Seigmund.
Of these, three were in Frederick
county, three in Washington, one in
Montgomery, two in Baltimore county,
and two in Hartford. DR.. H. A. He'd
rick, of the Federal Bureaus local Of

he is looking directly after conditions

Visit of State Tax Commission

Visit Of State Tax Commission.
The State Tax Commission paid a
visit to the County Commissioners last
Friday in order to familiarize themselves
with the system employed in this county
in regard to assessments on real and per-
sonal property. The Board was created
by the last Legislature, and is composed
of Arthur 2. Gorman, Jr., Levin
Wickes, and Judge Oscar Lesser, with
Allen c. Girdwood as secretary All
the commissioners were present, and
took great interest in the suggestions,
comments and Investigations of the Tax
Commission. Quite number of prom
inent people called at the Commissioners
office during the morning session, and
were introduced to the Commissioners.
The Commission win visit the County
Commissioners of each county, and will
later on endeavor to get down to a sub
stantial and equitable system throughout
the State, which in the past has been
very unsatisfactory DONE Land yalua-
tions in each district of the county were
looked into, and many notes taken by
the Commission to use in their later de
velopmcnts. Shortly after noon, the
Tax Board, the County Commissioners
and clerk, and several others, were en-
tertained at the Elk's Club by Mr. c.
Francis Baughman, and the members of
the Commission afterwards took.luncheon
with Mr.. James HI. Gambrill. Jr. They
left on the afternoon train for Baltimore.

vember festival that have been offer
ed for many years, are promised.
Turkey, it is now estimated, should
retail for about % or 80 cents a pound
dressed. This is exactly the SAM
price quoted for last year. Dealers
hesitated before making any comment
on the turkey quotations. They ara
doubtful. One said, Il don't know for
sure" but guess that these birds
will sell for about thirty cents"
There is no such thing as the poor

Geese which have won that cognomen
by the poor's devotion and constancy,
are quoted at five cents in advance of
last years market. They may sell for
25 cents per pound dressed. Last year
the price was about 20 cents.
Chickens and geese, dressed, are
running neck and neck. For chicken
will also sell at twenty-five cents per
pound In these days there is appar
emily little monetary distinction be-
tween the Thanksgiving bird and
geese and chickens.
The housewives eyes will shine with
delight when she lays in, the store Of
vegetables for the feast. incidentally
the money Garner will smile compla
Gently because there has been an enor-
nous cut in the price of vegetables
that go hand in hand with the Thanks

berries are selling at about eight cents
less this year than last. Oranges have
dropped about fifty cents or dollar
on the box, grapefruit has slumped to
the extent of fifty cents. Apples, too.
have come within the reach of the

will, according to reports, give the
Thanksgiving bird a hard rub for

cities. 1t was only recently that this
bird was found to be newcomer In
the poultry market.
These ostriches are real ones from
the Aikire ranch, near Glendale, Ari-
zona. They were bred originally for
the sake of their feathers, but the
sparing use of ostrich plumes in this

have demoralized the ostrich feather
market. Hence the offering of ostrich

CUMMINGS NOT INDICTED

Rockville, Nd, Nov. 1S.-The grand
jury, which has been in session here,
adjourned this morning without in
dieting James W. Cummings, deputy
sheriff, who shot Harrison Weaver,
colored, caddy at the Chevy Chase
Club, last week. Cummings is also
superintendent of the Chevy Chase
Club grounds, and shot Weaver, who
afterward died at Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital, while Weaver was
trying to resist arrest.
Cummings was held for the grand
jury, and as the grand jury failed TO
indict him it is thought probable that
he will be released later this after
noon.
Judge Peter, in dismissing the grand
jurS spoke of the failure of that body
to ''indict person held for homi-
eide" and who had been held on ha-
beas corpus proceedings. He said the
duty of the grand jury was to indict,
and that they should have done so
and left the matter to the courts to
decide.
