Board of Trade Banquet.

Plans for the big banquet of the
Frederick Board of Trade, were de-
finitely arranged at meeting of the
committee in charge of the affair, in
the office of the boards secretary,
Lloyd T. MacGill, Pythian Castle, last
evening.
The banquet will be held in the City
hotel on the evening of March u,
when the principal speakers will be
Secretary of the Treasury, McAdoo
and Congressman David j. Lewis.
Both of these gentlemen have wired
that they will be on hand to make adj
dresses.
Congressman Lewis needs no in
PRODUCTION to Fredericktonians. He
has been heard here enough to be well
known to the people of this commun-
ity, and it is needless to say his talk
will be heard with interest.
Secretary McAdoo is the son-in-law
of President Wilson, we'll known in
politics and being mentioned at some
places as a possible Democratic can
didate for the presidency of the United
States. He is forceful and pleasing
speaker and his address will be a
treat, indeed, for the guests.
Tickets for the banquet will be put
on sale in the near future. The num-
Der of guests will be limited to $50
and members of the Board will be
given first choice. AS soon as they
have obtained their tickets any other
persons who wish to attend will have
an opportunity to secure the remain
ing tickets.
The banquet will be an elaborate af-
fair. An orchestra will furnish the
music for the occasion and special
menu card has been arranged.
The POSTMASTER will be announced
within day or two. The committee
advises that those wishing to attend
secure their tickets as early as pos
sible.
The committee in charge is COM
posed of Noah E. Cramer chairman,
James H. Gambrill, Jr., Thomas M.
Williamson, Frank Newman and Char
les McC. Matthias.

Western Maryland Railroad, west of
Thurmont, William H. Webb, for more
than rs years Waterman of bridges
of the company was Wednesday morn
ing found dead along the tracks of
the railroad, about mile from Thur

ported that Webb had been dead more

AS Waterman of those bridges. Mr.
Webb's position was an important one,
The safety of many passengers and
trains depended upon his watchful-
ness during the hours of the night.
He walked those bridges at regular
intervals during all hours of the
night.
1t is believed that Webb had started
for his home yesterday morning, was
taken i'll with an asthmatic attack
and walked to the side of the track
and sat on the "cross-tie block" When
found his overcoat was drawn up
over his shoulders, and raised UNI

ECONOMY SILO co. EXPANDING.
viii Establish A Second Plant At
ROauOke, Va.

Mr.. P. L. Hargett, manager of the
Economy Silo and Manufacturing
Company, of this city, and Mr.. Thos.
H. Halter, director of the company,
have been in Roanoke, Va, for several
days arranging for the establishment
of branch plant in that city for the
manufacture of silos. The Economy
silo is very popular throughout Vir-
ginia and the South and to meet an
increasing demand and afford more
prompt service it has been deemed
advisable and expedient to locate an
other plant farther South. Roanoke,
by reason of its location and excellent
shipping facilities, has been chosen
as the site for THE branch, and it is
expected to have the new plant ready
to supply the 1915 demand for silos in
the territory to be served.

RECEIVES A SPANISH CUP
Judge Glenn ii. WOrthingtOn Remem-
bered BY EllwOOd ID. DetlOid.


Mr.. Ellwood d. Detloid. of Ellerton,
this county, one of the jurors of the
present term of the circuit court, has
presented to Judge Worthington a
curious old Spanish cup, which Mr.
Detloid obtained in the Philippine
Islands in the year 1901, when he
was serving as soldier in the United
States army of occupation.
Mr.. Detloid stated that after the
capture of Manila in 1898 the native
population of the islands, instigated
by the Spanish influence, which was
still considerable among them, sew
eral times rose in instruction against
the authority of the United States AMI
killed a number of the American SOL
diers.
To put down with a strong hand
one of these instructions, Mr.. Det-
loid says that his commanding officer
was ordered to take a troop of SOL
diers and capture and burn a town
called Vario, where the insurrection-
lists made their habitat.
The place was captured according
ly by quick attack and after remov-
ing the men, women and children, the
place was set afire and burned. The
light bamboo buildings burned like
finder. Before the torch was applied
the soldiers took small articles-bric-
a-brac-that had been left behind by
the inhabitants, as souvenirs. Mr..
Detloid obtained this cup from the
bamboo shelf in the majors house. 1t
-. ~
over 100 years old. 1t is not made of
pottery or clay, but of some light
metal
Judge Worthington prizes the gilt
highly and will place it among his
collection of household curios as a
valued addition thereto

Two Auto Bus Lines to Baltimore


With improved highways, enticing
views of the surrounding Landscape,
pure air and sunshine as inducements.
travelling between Frederick and Bal
tlmore a notorious promises to be just
as much 1.-The thing" this spring and
summer as the cultivation of the new
est steps in dancing. Yesterday it
was announced that H. F. Willis, New
Market, will operate a bus-line be-
tween Frederick and Baltimore and
will ply between the two towns daily,
including each Sunday.
This is the second line between Bal
timore and Frederick to be establish
ed and will put into operation next
week. H. G. Lescalleet, of Liberty,
will make the maiden trip to Balti-
more and return on March /.
Mr.. Willis said last night that he
would use Packard touring cars to
make the trips They are seven pas
senger high powered machines. The
number of automobiles to be operated
in this bus line of Mr.. Willis will de-
pend entirely on the amount of pas
senger service that is in demand. The
rates will be announced later.
The willis bus" will leave Fred
erick each morning about 8 o'clock.
Stops will be made at New Market
and Ridgeville, which will probably
be the only halts between Frederick
and Baltimore. Returning Mr.. Willis
will leave Baltimore at about o'clock
The establishment of the two bus
lines between Baltimore and Fred
erick via the state roads, which is in
high state of improvement is a novel
ty to the public and are likely to be
largely patronized Many people are
favorably disposed to the idea and say
that they will look forward to trips
to Baltimore via bus with pleasure.
To be relieved of smokey trains with
the cinders and grim means much to
the travelling public. The rates are
lower which will likely be a business
getter.

DANIEL BROWN DISCHARGED.
Charged With Falsely Representing
Age To Procure LiuUOr.

Daniel Brown, charged with falsely
representing his age in order to pro-
cure bottle of beer from the place
of G. G. Boiler at Woodsboro, was late
yesterday discharged in the Frederick
circuit court. When the case was
taken up for hearing before Judges
Worthington and Peter, it developed
that the alleged offense had taken
place between one and two years ago,
too long ago to bring about convic-
ton. G. G. Boiler and e. A. Johnson
We're placed on the stand to testify in
the case. Both informed the court
that it was nearly two years ago that
Brown entered the Boiler place and
obtained bottle of beer on represen-
tation that he was of age Brown in
formed the court that he became 81
years of age October 8, 1914. The
case was sent up from justice court
and the States Attorney was led to
believe that the offense took place last
fall.

JACK DUNN IN BRUNSWICK
Makes Trip From Baltimore In Auto
With "Rube, Meadows"


Jack Dunn, of the international
baseball league, was in Brunswick on
Monday. He took dinner with Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. E. Meadows and discussed
with them the subject of having
"Rube" Meadows, their son, sign a
contract to twirl this season in the
International league. "Rube" is anx-
ious to play, but his parents prefer
that he first complete his college edu-
cation. Although no papers were
drawn up during the visit of Jack
Dunn to Brunswick it is understood
that the Baltimore man has the first
call for the services of the local
southpaw. Jack and the members OF
his party left Baltimore at S.55 a. m.
Monday and reached Brunswick at
IL Is, after experiencing three tire
blowouts.
