At the age of two years Mr.. Wilson'S

and then returned to Maryland, settling

During his lifetime Mr.. Wilson was
engaged in the stock business and
farming, making quite a success of
both these undertakings. He was never
married, but is survived by a large
number of nieces and nephews. For
many years he was cared for by his
niece, Mrs. Stella Feely, daughter of
his brother Jonathan. He is also sur

Fourth REGIMENT MING.
EXTREMELY APPREC|ATIVE
Of the Reception and Treatment Ten
dered Them As They Passed
Through Oakland.

When the Maryland National Guard
passed through Oakland early during
the present month on the way from
Camp Harrington at Laurel. Md, to
Eagle Pass, Texas, the Oakland people
turned out enmasse and gave the Mary
land boys a cheering word and their
best wishes for safe journey to the
border coupled with the expression that
all may return to their homes in good
health.
That the good wishes of the people of
Oakland were appreciated by the SOL
diers is evidenced by the following let
ter received on Monday by Mayor CHESS
man. which we publish in full as fol-
lows:
To the Mayor and Citizens of Oakland,
Md. from the men of Co. C, 4th Nd.
Infantry.
1t has been the wish of this company
as whole to express their extreme
thanks and gratitude to the Mayor and

manner IN which they received this
company and extended their hospitality
when passing through en- route to the
Mexican border at Eagle Pass, Texas.
The men of &c" Company are unani-
nous in heir decision that their recep-
ton and stay in Oakland, while short,
was without a doubt the happiest period
of their extremely trying trip and re-
freshing memory which shall never be
forgotten. Only the many details of
making permanent camp andthe many
military formalities has caused the de-
lay in this letter to this date.
1t would perhaps be of interest to
cite few details relative to Camp Ord.
There are about $1,000 troops stationed
in Camp Ord at the present time-the

car also crossed diagonally."
The Pittsburgh car jammed into the
the front end of the Liller car, throwing
the passengers of both cars from their
seats. Mr.. Liller was rammed against
the steering wheel with great force
causing his death from internal injuries.
The Pittsburgh car was the least damag
ed. 1t suffered punctured radiator,
bent front axle, twisted springs and
bursted tire on the right front wheel.
The Liller car was almost completely
demolished. The radiator was lifted
from its base and completely damned
together. the engine was torn from the
frame, the front axle was twisted, the
tires torn from the front wheels and
the body lifted from the chassis. This
was due to the fact that the car with
the Pittsburgh party, was much heavier
and larger than the car driven by Mr..
Liller.
According to persots on the scene
right after the accident, the Pittsburgh
driver was travelling at high rate of
speed around a most dangerous sharp
curve and moreover was on the wrong
side of the road. This is shown from
the diagonal position in which the car
stood after the crash, showing that he
had crossed from near the street car
track
At the hospital today it was stated
that the injured parties are recovering
from the shock and doing nicely.
The body of Mr. Liller was removed
to Frostburg undertaking establish
ment where it was prepared for burial.

home in Oakland early Friday morning.

There seems to be dispute as to who
was to blame for the terrible accident.
According to Mr.. Ferguson, the chauf-
feur, the Liller car WIS on the inside of
the curve. Seeing that the car was on
the wrong side of the road he says he
quickly applied the emergency and had
almost brought the big car to a stop
when the crash came.
The Armstrong party lett Pittsburgh
a. s o'clock Thursday morning and
were enroute to Atlantic City. On ac-
count of the Lincoln Highway being
closed to traffic between Greensburg
and Bedford, they made the tripby way
of Brownsville and Uniontown. When
the car carrying the Armstrong party
was descending the steep grade at Red
Hill they noticed the other car coming
in sight around the sharp curve at the
foot of the hill But, according to one
who was on the scene shortly after the
accident, the Pittsburgh car was on
the wrong side of the road and must
have been coming at q rate of about 80
miles an hour, paying no heed at all to
the most dangerous curve on the Ma
tional Pike IN this section. When as
sistance reached the wrecked parties
Liller had been pulled from the position
into which he had been thrown and was
leaning against the side of the car.

DRUG ACT WEAKENED

The Harrison drug act has been
given the wrong construction by the
lower courts These courts have so
construed the law that all persons
who had narcotics in their posses
sion were law violators, and they
have been arrested and tried on this
charge very much like persons were
several years ago who had been found
in Indian Territory with whiskey in
theirhpossesSion The United States
supreme court has recently handed
down an opinion In which it holds
that dealers without license who
have possession or drugs are amen
able TO the law, but that this law
against. possession does not apply
to users of the drugs. This decision
will result In taking number of
cases OFF the dockets of the court in
this federal judicial district. This
decision will also make against the
officials in enforcing the drug act.
