FIRE IN COUNTY
ON PH|PPS' FARM
Early Sunday Morning Fire On Es-
tate Of Late Paul Armstrong
FAMILY MADE HOMELESS.
Mrs. Gibson and Family Awakened
From Sleep By Sound Of
Breaking Glass

Fire, the second at this home in
nine days, was discovered yesterday
morning about o'clock at the country
place now owned by Mrs Alice Glib
son, but for many years the farm of
Frank ]. Phipps.
The property adjoins and once
formed part of the old Belmont Es-
tate, owned by the late Paul Arm
strong.
Mrs. Gibson, her son-in law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Hardin, were
occupying the house at the time of
a fire about nine or ten days ago, but
it was discovered in time, and with
the aid of a bucket brigade, they soon
had the fire uunder way Occurring
in the early hours of Sunday morn
ing, the second fire had too great a
headway for the fanny TO save any
thing.
They were awakened from their
sleep by the sound of breaking glass,
and before they had time to gather
their clothing together, the house was
mass of flames.
Everything was practically destroy
ed the fire consuming the dwelling,
the furniture, clothing and all else it
contained.
The Water Witch Fire Co., with the
new chemical engine, quickly re-
sponded to the alarm, but they were
too late to render any material assist
ance. However they stood by for about
an hour to see if the fire attempted to
spread to the nearby barns and
stables.
Mrs. Gibson and her daughter re-
ceived many expressions of sympathy
from the crowd of about fifty people
who assembled at the fire They both
looked very pitiable objects and said
they did not know where to go to-
However, Mr.. Walter H. Hart arrived
upon the scene and offered to take
them to his house and to provide the
necessary clothing in which to travel
to relatives in Baltimore.
The propsrty is only partially in
sured. and much sympathy is felt for
Mrs. Gibson and her family.
Before coming here to live Mrs
Gibson. who resided in Baltimore, is
said to have disposed of valuable
property interests and business inter
ests there.
She brought with her to the new
home much valuable and costly fur
niture, including a handsome piano.

WARNS AUTO OWNERS
ABOUT PLACING OF LIGHTS
Provisions Of Amended Law To Be
Rigidly Enforced Throughout
The State.

Automobile owners and drivers
should take heed at the provisions of
the State Motor Vehicle law, as amend
ed, specially as regards the placing of
lights on their cars. This amendment
to the law was one of the emergency
measures passed at the late special
session Of the Legislature, effective
for the period of the war and six
months thereafter. In short all such
vehicles are required to display white
lights ahead, with red light astern.
State Automobile Commissioner E.
Austin Baughman has given notice
that the law on this point will be rig
idly enforced and his corps of deputies
throughout the State have been so no
tilted. The law went into effect on
August / but a reasonable period will
be allowed for all persons to comply
Herewith.
Due publicity of the law has been
given in newspapers, and thousands of
circulars have been distributed broad
cast over the State, so that every auto
owner may become thoroughly famil-
lar with its provisions.

Marine ARRESTED
ON LARCENY CHARGE
Private Mason Pilfered United
States Mails
TAKES CASE OF IL WATCHES
Goods Valued at Several Hundred DOL
lars We're Consigned to P.
COrosh, This City

arrested IN baltimore on the
charge of larceny just as he was about
to pawn some of the stolen goods,
Henry l.. Mason a private in the
United States Marine Corps, stationed
at the Naval Academy Barracks, is
being held in that city to await the
action of the Federal authorities.
Mason, who is about % years Old. is
charged with the theft of a case CON
tanning a dozen gold watches, valued
at several hundredadollars the pack
age having been taken from the
United States mail
Mason has for some time been en-
ployed as a mail orderly at the Naval
Academy How he managed TO get
hold of the case Of watches, which
was consigned to Mr. p Corosh, an
Annapolis jeweler and matchmaker,
is not known, but it is presumed that
the package got intt the mail matter
destined for the Naval Academy, and
that Mason pilfered it in course OF the
distribution of the mail in the Acad-
emy postoffice.
The package containing the twelve
time pieces had been sent TO Mr.
Corosh by Baltimore firm 1t was
placed in the parcel post mail matter
Friday night, and should have been
received by Mr.. Corosh Saturday
morning. As it was not received in
due time, Mr. Corosh began an inves-
tigation. He furnished description
of the package which he expected but
was informed by the officials at the
local postoffice that no such parcel
had been received. This appeared
rather queer TO Mr. Corosh since he
had been advised in a telephone mes
sage as to the time the package had
been mailed at the Baltimore post
Office, which was Friday night But
as before stated, the package in some
way or other, got into the bags of
Naval Academy mail. and it was at
the Academy's local office that Mason
is supposed to have got hold of it.
Ii happened more as a matter Of
chance that Mason was arrested so
promptly in Baltimore Saturday after
noon as the police officials of that
city had not even been notified of the
theft at the time. 1t appears, accord
ing to information that has since been
received here, that Mason went into
pawn shop in the business section
to get rid of some of the watches, and
it so happened that detective who
was in the same establishment at the
time, became suspicious when Mason
entered with such an array of time
pieces. He therefore accosted the
man. and it is understood that Mason
finally confessed how he came in
possession of the watches. Suisse
quently he was taken to detective
headquarters, and further questioned
One of the watches, it is stated, is
valued at $120. Mason's home is said
to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
whittier his parents moved recently.
He enlisted in the Marine Corps near
ly four years ago, as it is stated that
his enlistment would have expired
within the next three months Mason
is said to be a man of exemplary
moral habits in other respects.
All of the watches, one of which
was valued at s120. have been recov-
cred and win be restored to the
owner in due time.
