September Court Begins.
Jurors Selected And Charge
Delivered by Chief Judge Urner

The September term of the Circuit
Court of Frederick county opened Mon
day with Judges Urner and Worthington
on the bench Due to the fact that this
week marks the beginning of Frederick's
Star Spangled Banner Centennial and
Home Coming celebration, Judge Urner,
in delivering the charge to the Grand
Jury, stated that the members of the
jury could use their own pleasure about
working this week.
The grand jury was drawn by lot from
among the list of jurymen selected sew
eral weeks ago. The members of the
grand jury are as follows:
A. C. McCardle, foreman; Jesse B.
Kebaugh, Rob't G. Whittier, James Rel
ley, Chas. W. Quynn, VIM. F. kintz,
Holmes D. Baker, Simeon P. Kuhn, G.
S. Springer, Arba A. Moser, Harrie E.
Storm, George w. Bittle, Archie Ogle,
Joseph E. Willard, A. Ross Favorite,
Morris R. Hotter, Robert l.. Cramer, l..
C. Powell, John P Graft, John W. 10y,
Chas. C. Hagar, Orlando Weller, and
Otis Arnold George Burial was APP
pointed baiiif to the grand jury.
After hearing the charge delivered by
Judge Urner the jurymen went to their
room and began work, there having been
a number of witnesses summoned to APP
pear.
Judge Urner stated that upon the re-
quest of the attorneys of the bar, the
court would not begin the trial of cases
until Tuesday. September 18th, or until
after the centennial celebration.
The indications are that the term of
court this time will be a most lengthy
one. There are 1876 cases on the civil
docket. The criminal docket promises
to be large also.
The September term of the Circuit
Court of Frederick county will probably
go down in the court history of the
county as being term of court during
which more big suits were contested than
for years. 1t is hard to estimate the
amount of money involved, but there are
five will contests, an unprecedented num-
Der for one term of court, several dam
age suits. aggregating SIS, 900 or more,
and the cases of E. Cooper Wills against
certain directors and officials of the Nor
ris Iron and Steel Co. Suits which have
been docketed by Mr.. Wills against these
officials total $57, 240. These suits have
been set by the court for trial on Sep
TENDER "a
Another big case is that of Laura
Scholl against the estate of Mrs. Mar
garet E. S. Hood for $6, 600 for services
rendered The will contest cases to be
tried this term follow: Eta Houck
against the estate of Theodore Buesing,
George Klipp and others against estate
of Christian Smith, Frank erosion and
others against the estate of Annie Gros-
hon, J. Graham johnson against estate
of Ann r. Johnson, and Margaret Dor
sey against estate of Henrietta Palmer.
There is also a damage suit for SIS, 600,
filed by Mrs. Fannie Leather against the
Morris Iron and Steel Co., based upon
the death of her husband.
Among the criminal cases the most
noteworthy are those against Jennie
Weller, for larceny, and against Jacob
German and Mrs. Lula Buch. The yell

Nav Place Tax On Gasoline.


Following brief Labor Day recess,
Congress resumed work Tuesday, chief
interest centering in the Emergency
Revenue bill to raise 100000, 900.
The House Ways and Means Commit
tee hopes to agree upon commodities to
be taxed by today ut the latest and Rep
resentative Underwood believes that the
House can pass the bill by Saturday.
Committee members insist that gaso-
line should be taxed and that the argu-
ments against it are not well founded.
They do not believe that farmers and
smaller m anufacturers who use gasoline
would make any serious complaint.
Several members of the committee are
still insistant that an additional tax
should be levied on distilled liquors, and
the question probably will be decided by
a record vote in the committee. Taxes
on automobiles and moving pictures APP
peared tonight the most likely addition
to the list, although the form they would
take was in doubt.
Members of the Finance Committee
are anxious to have the Revenue bill
passed in the House. They hope to be
able to accept the House bill, but many
Senators favor a stamp tax on COM
mercial paper, which the House COM
mittee is inclined to avoid. A stamp tax
on commercial instruments during the
Spanish American War yielded nearly
$40, 600, 600.
Thus far all the plans of the Ways
and Means Committee have been on a
basis ignoring a stamp tax, but if the
agreement cannot be reached on taxable
commodities that will yield $25, 900, 900
in addition to the $75,000,00O already
tentatively provided for, it may be neces-
sary to adopt a stamp tax. This may be
limited, however, to checks, drafts, tele-
grams, telephone messages, instead of
being applied to conveyances, deeds,
mortgages and all legal papers as was
done in 1898.

Sportsmen Must Observe
Uniform State Game Law.
Hunting and Fishing Can No
Longer Be Done Under Old Law.

Hunting and Fishing Can No
Longer Be Done Under Old Law,
For the tirse time in the history of the
State, Maryland has uniform game sys-
TEN. This law is particularly important
for the reason that all seasons prescrib-
ed by the county or the community which
conflict with the Statewide law, are null
and void.
There has been great deal of discus
sion concerning the seasons for the game
and fish of the county. Sportsmen have
made numerous Inquiries with the result
that information that would lead them
to violate the law, has been given in ma
jority of cases. The penalty for the vi
olation of this Statewide law is fine
of not less than $25 and more than 500
for each and every offense and upon fail
ure to pay the fine, term of rs to 60
days in the county Jail.
The following is the uniform season
law:
"Section 20. No person shall shoot,
trap, catch or kill or gun or hunt for any
partridge or quail, English or Mongolian
pheasant, pheasant or ruffed grouse, rab-
bit, squirrel, wild turkey, woodcock, or
deer within the State of Maryland, be-
tween the twenty-fourth day of Deem
Der and the tenth day of November of
any year, exclusive of both dates, nor
upon Sunday or when the ground is suf-
ficiently covered with snow to track the
birds or game above mentioned. And
there shall be daily closed season on all
above enumerated game birds and game
animals, with the exception of rabbits,
between sunset and sunrise.
"Section 81. Proof that any one con-
victed before any justice of the peace of
this State of violation of the proceed
ing section shall be fined not less than
$25 nor more than 500 for each and ev-
cry offense, and upon failure to pay
he fine shall be committed to Jail for
not less than rs days nor more than 60
days.
"One-half of the fines goes to the per-
sons who procure the conviction and the
other half to the State Game Fund.

Radical -Anendmehts May Be Passed

New York. Oct. z,-rA series of very
radical amendments have been proposed
to the Amateur Athletic Union eonstitu-

gist Of these -ehanges Is that Army and

mers and other female competitors be
permitted TO compete and register. and
that professionals be allowed TO show in
team exhibitions with amateurs
Should the new amendments pass the

an annex to professional sport.
In the new Amendment to article OF
the constitution Il Is proposed that an
amateur be eligible to compete against
a professional IN baseball football and
basket ball What will the Y. n C. "A.
say to this2 Especially DIR. Luther Gu
lick and oeorge Hepbron. the men who
held up basket-bsll as the one great
game for the amateur.
One vital point in connection with the
proposed changes Is that college man
IL at liberty to represent his college as
his residence This means that a man
can come from anywhere and represent
a college in New York. and the same rule
applies TO any part Of the Unified States
An athlete has the option Of repre- senting
