RATES IN SIGHT
Chesapeake and Potomac Co. Has
New Schedule.
EFFECTIVE IN WHOLE STATE.
In Some Of the Rural Regions, How
ever, There Will be Increase---
Preliminary Conference Between
Officials of the Company.

The Public Service Commission and
officials of the Chesapeake ami Poto-
mac Telephone Company held a pre-
liminary conference yesterday and al
which there was a heart-to-heart talk
on the proposed new schedule of rates
for Baltimore, Annapolis and for the
entire State.
The conference resulted in no def
mite or official action IL will be fol-
lowed by another meeting and then
hearing will be arranged. at which the
proposed new rates will be dissected
In general terms the new rates are
lower for Baltimore, but display an
upward tendency in the rural sections
of the State.
Under the proposed schedule the pri-
vate branch exchange system now i'm
operation in Baltimore city is to be
changed. At present the charge of
$50 year Is made for this service,
with an additional charge for each
station. If subscriber takes the re
tail rate, which amounts to 5000 calls
ay ear, he must pay three cents each
for them, and if he takes the whole
sale rate, amounting to S,400 calls. he
gets them for two cents each. Under
the proposed new schedule it is plan
ned to reduce the initial charge TO
$24 a year to all persons taking 2,400
calls a year to give the rate of two
anda-half cents each. If they take
more than that number they are to re-
Ceiye them at two cents.
Private telephones also are affect
cd. II is proposed to eliminate the
persons living i'm the suburbs If they
desire city telephones and To create
suburban zone extending a mile-and-a-
half from the city limits. This would
mean that the residents of this zone
would be given the city service for $4S
a year, just what is now paid by the
city subscribers, and at the same time
would give the city people the adyant-
age of increasing territory without the
toll charges which are made at pres
ent In addition to this the residents
of the suburban zone would be permit
ted to call up the other suburban de
yelopments provided the call did not
extend across the city.
If residents of the suburban zone do
not want to take advantage of the city
rate at $4S year, they will be permit
ted to keep their present system. with
few changes and slight increase
over tho present rate.

CAMP GROUND OF CONoYS.
Indians Trod There---Land Has Been
in Randall Family for a Century

Mr. Daniel Il. Randall has sold TO the
boys department OF the y. NJ. c. A.. OF
Baltimore. the Obi camp site of the
Conoys and of the other Indians on
South river, near Edgewater this coun-
~, few miles from Annapolis.
The tract of which is a part has

ed by members OF the Maryland His
torical Society, Indian experts in the
Smithonian Institute and others. has
collected much historical data about
The place that will add immensely TO
its charm for the boys
What has helped TO connect the his
torical links has been the fact that
Lord Baltimore established a mission
among the Indians in 1854. and that
their chief, Tayac. was converted The
Conoy Indians were members Of the
Algonquin tribe and related to the
Delawares but later united with the
anticokes. Being harassed by the
Conestogas, they moved from the East
ern Shore TO South river. and later
moved to West river, and were driven
farther on to the Piscataway creek.
The site of the camp, which has SO
feet of water front, is one that COM
mands a view of a wide stretch of
water, and has natural advantages that
appeal to the boys as well as they did
to the Indians. A fine new we'll is being
sunk on the property, concrete-lined

house for which the cornerstone was
laid on September 6, 1865. Bricks
brought from England for that ware

stone will be preserved. An enter

A. in Baltimore on Friday night to help
raise funds for camp expenses. The
camp will open on June % and close
on August 3.
Any boy from any Sunday-school in
