BRITAIN TO LET DYES THROUGH
Will Permit German Shipments for
Pressing Needs.

Great Britain has notified the Uni
ted States of her willingness to permit
the export of sufficient German dye
stuffs to meet the demands of the
American market
The State Department was so in
formed by Ambassador Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice While this marks con
cession on the part of the British
Government, Department officials at
Washington admitted last night that
American importers need not hope to
receive consignments of the much
needed commodity until Germany her
self agrees to let dyestuffs be shipped
At present Germany is insisting that
the United States in return for the
dyestuffs should compel Great Britain
to permit the delivery in Germany OF
American cotton or foodstuffs This
Great Britain has fatty refused to do.
contending that she might as well let
Germany have American munitions as
material for gun-cotton and that much
of the success Of her blockade depends
on her ability TO shut off foodstuffs.
Realizing the hopelessness of trying
to get either of these concessions, the
American Government recently per-
suaded England TO let American to-
bacco enter Germany by way of Hol-
land, and has tried to persuade Ger
many on the strength of this to let
her dyestuffs come to this country
Thus far no material Roadway has
aeen made

AN OLD INSTITUTION
AND WHENCE IT SPRANC
The Orphans Court Had Its In
ception In England.
PRIOR TO REVOLUTION.
Governors of Colonies Appointed Sur
rogates to Probate and Administer
Estates.

OF the many persons in Annapolis
who from time to time have had an oc-
casion TO deal with the local Orphans
Court-and this includes nearly every
family in town-possibly few realize
how old an institution this branch Of
our government is. nor whence it
sprang.
The Orphans Court, which in Mary
land differs in many ways from the
other courts, is relic OF the days
when much of the law was administer
ed in England by ecclesiastics. Aside
from Maryland. there are said to be
only three states in this country which
still have this branch of the judiciary
In all other states it has either merg-
ed into the other courts or is presided
over by a surrogate. Maryland. Penn
sylvania. Delaware and New Jersey
are the four states in which Orphans
Courts exist for the guardianship OF
orphans and the administration of
estates
The abolition of the Orphans Court
in this State was recommended sew
eral years ago by members of the bar.
it being pointed out that three judges
were unnecessary and that the ex-
pense of the maintenance of the court
was greater than that of any single
court. In each county three judges
sit as the Orphans Court, though
they are in session not more than two
or three days, and in some instances
only one day in each week
AS the name implies. the Orphans
Court hears nothing except cases in
volving testamentary law and the set
Element of estates. The three judges
who sit in the Orphans Court for Bal
timore city and the three who sit in
each county are elected for a term of
four years, while the judges in the
other courts in Baltimore and of the
Circuit Courts in the counties are
elected for fifteen years. They re
ceive a per diem salary. and in event
of a vacancy on the bench a Judge is
appointed 20 fill the unexpired term,
instead Of until the next ensuing gen
eral election, as is the case in the other
courts. knowledge of law or quail
iication as a member of the bar is not
essential to the occupation of a seat
on the bench in the Orphans Court
The Orphans Courts had their incep-
ton in England, when, after eccIesias-
tisc had exercised the power of a court
in such matters their business increas-
ed so that they found it necessary to
delegate some one to take over that
side of the law. These substitutes were
at first ecclestiastics, but later law
yers were appointed to perform the
duties. Not until 1857 was the pro-
bate jurisdiction of the surrogate. as
they came to be known, transferred to
the Court of Probate and Divorce in
England
Prior to the Revolution the Govern
ors of the various American colonies
were accustomed TO appoint surrogates
to represent them in matters OF pro-
bate and administration of estates.

Ringing Door Bells
Becomes Nuisance Here.

Some housekeepers think there are
more bad boys in Annapolis than in any
other city of its size Certainly their
name is legion and they are destructive
and annoying. The habit of ringing
door bells on a number of streets in
the city has become nuisance.
Complaints have come to this office
where one door bell on a prominent
street in town was rung eleven times
one morning. by some bad boy or boys
who ran away. The housekeeper was
greatly inconvenienced, and the maid
threatened to leave if she had to an
swer the door bell so often and no one
was there.
Finger prints tell the tale, and at
least two victims of the ringing door
bell nuisance are determined to
nail the cluprit. They have ar.
ranged device that will take the i'm
preston of the finger that rings the
bell, or the bad boy will leave some OF
his epidermis sticking to the door bell.
There are more ways than one.
