victory from the girls team of the
Providence Classical High School at

that the visitors never had a chance,
but il must be said that they have not
5een playing the game under social
I'D boys" rules, as had the local
girls, and this was a big handicap to
them.
In the Putnam lineup. for the first
tiTle this season, was Miss Bard, a

played splendidly. Miss AGagne was
the star at registering points for

New Locomotive in Service.

The mammoth new locomotives for
freight service on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad have been received and
were placed in service over the noun
toin division of the road this week. The
machines are simply tremendous and
their pulling power almost beyond COM
prehension. In descending the 17-mile
grade Tuesday morning one of the new
engines exceeded the speed limit over
the bound track near Bond Junction
and was thrown into the runaway
switch up the mountain, but no damage
ensued as a result except that it requir-
ed about four hours labor on the part
of train crew sent out for the purpose
to pull the engine and thirteen cars to
which it was attached back to the main
track.

The Trenton, N. j., basketball team

Thursday night in one of the most

The visitors were much larger and heav-

the finest system of password ever
seen on the local floor. The locals put
up nervy game against great odds,
and were in hard luck shooting baskets,
otherwise the score would have been
closer. The final score was 90 to II.

THE Weeks DOINGS
At THE STATE CAPITAL
Many Measures of Local Interest
Have Been Considered.

STATE HOUSE ANNAPOLIS, MARCH 20
Last Wednesday in the Senate bills
introducedby Senator Speicher authoriz-
ing the Board of Public Works to sell
the States interests at Lake Brown,
and authorizing the Mayor and Council
of Grantsvi issue bonds for water
works and sewerage were reported
favorably by the committees to which
they had been referred.
Delegate Fox introduced bill in the
House amending the charter of the
town of Friendsville.
Mr.. FoX's bill to compel the Balti-
more and Ohio R. R. Co to maintain an
agent and stop certain trains at Bloom
ington was reported favorablv by the
Judiciary Committee of the House on
Thursday last.
Mr.. Fox introduced a bill at the night
session Thursday, by request, to exempt
Frlendsvllle from the operation of the
liquor law. This bill was referred to
lHe GdITelt CeleRatlOn.
Mr.. Hayden's bill amending the in
corporation of Mt. Lake Park was re-
ported favorably at the same session.
The bill proposing a constitutional
amendment and the creating of an ad-
dltional Associate Judge for the Fourth
Judicial Circuit-Allegany, Garrett and
Washington counties, introduced some
time ago by Delegate Keedy, of Wash
lngton county, has been .favorably re-
ported, and is now on the third reading

of this act the constitutional amend
ment will be submitted to the voters in

the provisions of the bill, no two as
sociate judges can come from the same

member of the circuit court.

school or other, purposes, hence the
authorities have declared vacation of
the high school pupils until the ad
journment of the grammer school on
April 18th. when the high school will be
opened in the latter building and studies
resumed.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
the Senate passed the Furst Field an
nexation bill by vote of fourteen to
nine, to its third reading, but the man
ner in which it was put oyer may seri-
ously endanger not only the annexation
bill itself but also numerous other bills
which are backed by Baltimore City
and their friends.
About $3.50 O'Clock with Senator
Zihlman of Allegany, who had been
presiding since President Campbell had
taken the floor on Monday night, in
the chair, Senator Speicher began
speech which, from the size of his
documents and lengthl.of his notes,
would last for several hours. The an
nexation Senators left the chamber and
held a hurried conference and upon
their return, Senator Mudd, of Charles
county, Republican, succeeded Senator
Zlhlman in the chair.
With Senator Speicher still speaking,
Senator Mudd recognized Senator Hol-
near of Prince Georges county, who
moved that the Senate fgo into ex-
ecutive session. Senator Speicher pro-
tested but the motion prevailed, and
the Senate Chamber was cleared.
While in executive session cloture
rules were adopted for the first time in
the history of the Maryland Senate,
preventing further speech making or
further amendments or any fillbuster-
ing or dllatory tactics. These cloture
rules were adopted and although other
| Senators wanted to be heard on the
gag rule" motion Senator Mudd re-
fused to recognize them. After adopt
| ing the cloture rules the Senate re-
sumed open session and motion to pass
the annexation bill to its third reading
| file. There were four votes short, these
having been paired, so the votes would
have been 10 to II. had the full
membership been present.
Great excitement followed the pas
sage of the bill to its third reading and
the Senate at 4 80 this morning recess
ed until noon today. All day yesterday
until noon today, the Senate has been
working under Mondays date. The
anti-anneXationists are up in arms and
there is trouble brewing unless some
thing is done to modify the anti and
their leaders at once-all sorts of threats
are being made and whatever chance
the annexation bill had of passing the
house is now believed to have been dis
| sipated.

interesting happenings.

degree of precision what the rate of

last years rate unless some extraordi-
nary expense will have to be provided
for and this is at the present moment
not anticipated by the Board.

OH YES, 1T RAINED! ROB HURD HOUSE
JeweIry Worth $4,000 Taken in
Absence of TOpekan.
Police Attribute Work to ANA
teur House Breakers.

More than $4,000 worth of jewelry
was stolen from the A. A. Hurd resi-
dence at the corner of Twelfth and
Tyler streets about 6 O'Clock Sunday
evening. In telling of the theft Har-
vey Parsons, chief of police, said the
burglar .'got a handful of jewelry."
In the handful We're several diamonds
and other stones OF value.
Mrs. Hurd. widow of the late A. A.
Hurd, general attorney for the Santa
Fe, lives alone in the big house. Sun
day evening she left for about an hour
and the robbery was committed in her
absence. There is a conservatory at
tached to the house. The burglar en-
tered thru the conservatory door and
went on into the house thru screen
door. The house was apparently sub
jected to thoro search.
Chief Parsons does not believe the
burglary was the work of a profession
al. He doesn't believe il can be
charged to any fair followers" Sew
eral men are working on the case to-
day and claim to have fair prospects
of landing the burglar and the jewelry.
