Judges In Gowns

The Maryland Court of Appeals at
its opening sitting this week, quite
surprised the lawyers in attendance,
when the Judges filed in, arrayed in
long black gowns, after the manner of
the Judges of the Supreme Court of
the United States. No one had been
let into the secret of the contemplated
innovation, although the Judges, it IS
said, have been contemplating it for
some time. 1t is thought possible
that the lower Courts of the State
may now follow the example set by the
Court of Appeals.

cross, when a fast westbound express
swept down upon him. He put on the
emergency brake and turned the car
to the west to try to escape the en-
press, but the auto and baggage car
came into side collision and the occu-
pants of the auto were hurled out. Mr..
Harlan was thrown clear of both
tracks, but the other four were thrown
under the freight train and terribly
mangled, Miss Stewards body being
cut in two and denuded of clothing.
She, Mrs. Hanes and the little boy
were dead when picked up, and the
little girl lived but few minutes.
After the accident occurred both
trains stopped, and the crew of the
freight picked up the bodies of the
victims. DR.. C. p Carrico, of Cherry
Hill, was hastily summoned, but all he
could do was to look after Mr.. Har-
lan who was brought by him to I'm
ion Hospital. The four bodies We're

Motor Cars Successful
For Transporting Guns;
England Adopts Scheme

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 15.-Military
circles are intensely interested at the
result Of an experiment undertaken by
Earl Fitzeillian. the close friend Of
King George. in Transporting army
guns by motor instead Of horses. The
experimental journey was completed
in seven hours, in place Of the five
days that horses would have required.
and the return journey was equally
successful The whole fleet Of motor
cars did not report the slightest trouble.
The probable outcome OF the expert
ment VIII be an arrangement between
the war office authorities and impOr-
tant British mOtorcar manufacturers,
but which the latter will be subsidized
to hold a certain number of mOtorcar
chassis and drivers at the disposal OF
the government.
This arrangement. will. of course, be
subject to the requirements Of what
