HER LINGERIE GONE;
WOOD in ITS PLACE
Miss ColIinson's Suitcase And That of
Man Carrying Home Precious
Fuel Are Mixed.

When Miss Ann G. Collinson, of
South River, this county, arrived at
the Belvedere Hotel, Baltimore, Satur-
day morning on her way home from
Washington and discovered that her
suitcase contained only kindling wood
in place of her clothing and jewelry
she appealed to the Baltimore police.
Miss Collinson told Captain League,
of that city, that she arrived at Union
Station about O'Clock Saturday
morning and boarded a car for the
Belvedere When she alighted from
the car a kind-hearted man handed
her a grip from the~rear platform and
she proceeded to the hotel.
The wood-filled grip is now at the
Central Police Station and the police
are trying to locate its owner and,
incidentally to recover Miss Collin
sons property.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Alton S.
Miller, University Parkway, Balti-
more, reported to police headquarters
that her colored maid was much as
toqished when, upon arrival home the
evening previously, a small cargo OF
firewood, which she had been carrying
in her suitcase, had been magically
transformed into a quantity of fem
mime wearing apparel. Some time to-
day the suitcases will be exchanged
and the mystery solved.

CONSUMER TO PAY LESS
FOR COAL; JODDFR HIT
Commissions of Middleman Elimi-
mated Because of Profiteer-
ing Scheme
MUST GET PROFIT FROM MINE
Operators We're Setting Up Dummy
Offices To Get Permitted Commits
siOns, Says Fuel Admins

Reduction in the retail prices of
both anthracite and bituminous coal
is expected by the Fuel Administra-
ton as the result of a decision an
nouneed in Washington Saturday night
to eliminate jobbers' commissions
after next April 1. Under the new
regulations retail dealers will obtain
coal at the same price whether pur-
chasing directly from the mine or
through middlemen.
Jobbers now are permitted to add to
the government price at the mine a
commission of from Is to 80 cents a
ton, but the old practice will be re-
sumed of making the jobbers look to
the mine operators for compensation.
The mine price will be increased
slightly to provide for the operators
added expense, but it is announced
that the advance will not be equal to
the commission now allowed the job
Der. The amount of the increase will
be determined later.
Under the system of allowing the
jobber a specific guaranteed commits
sion," said the statement, lit deyel-
oped that it was possible for some
operators to adopt the practice of es-
tablishing subsidiary companies solely
for the purpose of selling, thereby alb
sorbing the jobbers commissions
Another practice was that of swap
ping coal Two producing companies
might agree to act as jobbers for each
other. Each might buy the coal of the
other, and then sell at the mine price,
plus the jobbers' commission. The
operator who sold direct to the re-
taller was at a disadvantage, because
he was forced to bear the selling eX-
pense and was not permitted to collect
the jobbers' commission.
''The jobber is essential to the con-
duct of the coal business, and the Fuel
Administration has given careful study
to the best means for insuring him a
reasonable compensation for his serv-
ices, while, at the same time, elimi-
mating fictitious commissions, which
were ultimately paid by the con-
sumer"

BISHOP MURRAY
ENDORSES THRIFT CAMP AIGN
Heartily Approves Of National War
Savings Movement

The thrift campaign has received
the hearty Endorsement of the Rt: Rev.
John G. Murray, Bishop of the Mary
land Diocese. In an emphatic state
ment regarding the national war saw
ings campaign Bishop Murray said:
mo other plan of the government to
secure war contribution appears to me
quite so universally applicable and
practical as the national war savings
thrift campaign. There are few men,
women or children who are not finan-
cially able to participate in its as con-
tributors, and everyone who does con-
tribute Immediately becomes an inter
ested partner with the government for
the winning of the war. This means
that they will think about the war,
talk about the war and pray for our
success in it, With such condition
universally established victory will
surely attend our arms"

LAND COMMISSIONER
Wins HIS FEE CASE
Judge Moss Today Filed Opinion in
important State Official Case
CASE WILL BE APPEALED
Whole Question of Increase Of State
Officers Salaries by Granting Them
Fees Involved in Ruling by
Local Court Today

James S. Shepherd is entitled to
fees in addition to his fixed salary, in
the opinion of Judge Robert Moss, of
the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
County. The Courts decision in the
case, recently brought by Mr. Shep-
herd, to compel State Comptroller
Hugh a. McMullen to pay the fees,
was filed this morning and sustains
the contention of Mr.. Shepherd that
he is entitled to 25 per cent fee on
the public land registration
The principal point in Judge Moss
ruling against the contention of Comp
troller McMullen and Attorney Gen.
eral Ritchie is that while salaries
cannot be increased after a public
official has accepted the position at
one figure, increases can be made
above the Stipulated figures, provided
the increase does not take place dur
ing an officials incumbency.
Touching upon this point in the
opinion filed today, Judge Moss cites
the contention of such a legal author
ity as former Attorney General John
P. Poe. He says: 'In written opin-
ion given to the Senate Committee on
Judicial Proceedings, at the Session
of 1892, rney General Poe said, 1t
is to be observed that the prohibition
which is relied on as denying to the
Legislature any power over the sub
ject is a prohibition against increas-
ing or diminishing the salary of pub
lie officers during their term of office.
Manifestedly, therefore, this Ian
guage, giving to it its broadest effect,
does not prohibit the Legislature from
passing a law increasing salaries that
take eect in future, but is limited to
a denial of their power to increase or
diminish during the officers term of
Office"
Because of it's widespread effect up
on the whole fee system of increasing
salaries in so many of the departments
of State Government, the case will be
carried to the Court of Appeals in all
likelihood

ST. JOHNS TAKES IN
THE HOPKINS QUINTET
Locals Prove Zoo Speedy For Crack
Combination From Baltimore In
Saturday Nisht Game

Johns Hopkins Medical School quint
was played off its ten feet on Satur-
day night at the st. Johns College
gymnasium court The st. Johnnies
set a pace from the start that kept
their opponents bewildered through
out the struggle. The final score was
80 to "a, after the first half had ended
13 to in favor of the Cadets.
ST. Johns was first to tally and
from then on the locals maintained a
slight lead all the way, although
forced to extend themselves to the
utmost.
The Collegians displayed all kinds
Of speed and pep, and so were the
Medicos full of fight, but in spite of all
the aggresiveness the game was free
of any unnecessary roughness. 1t
was simply a contest wherein the
rivalry between the institutions inn
bued the players with plenty of fight
Semler, the diminutive forward, and
quarterback on the st. Johns football
team, was the real star. He was all
over the floor, showing all kinds of
speed, and when he was not caging
the ball himself he was aiding one OF
his teammates in a play. He regis
tered five field goals.
Recher, at centre, shared the hon
ors with him, as he was credited with
the same number of court goals. Cook
also played a great game for st.
Johns. For the Medicos, Cuneo and
Weiner were the stellar performers.
Each got four field goals, and in addi-
tion, Cuneo was successful in six out
of ten chances, that came his way to
tally in throws from the foul circle
The result of the game was in doubt
from the start to finish. The Cadets
finished the first half with a count of
13 to s in their favor. The Medicos
loomed up strong at the beginning of
the second half. This, however, only
served to spur the Collegians to
greater fight and they proved them
selves masters of the situation to the
end The lineup:
st. John's-Cook and Semler, for
wards; Recher, centre; Lentz and
Watson, guards.

COMMANDER BACBY
NOW A BENEDICT
Surviving Officer Of the Jacob Jones
And Miss Marie L. Harrington
Married In New York

Commander David Worth Bagley
U. S. N, who commanded the United
States destroyer Jacob Jones, sunk in
British waters early in December, and
Miss Marie Louise Harrington, OF
York on Saturday.
The wedding, which was simple,
was attended by few relatives and
friends. Miss Harrington and her
mother, Mrs. Tenant Harrington, as
we'll as Commander Bagley, had been
stopping at the Belmont Hotel. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
DR.. Herbert Shipman. rector of the
Church of the Heavenly Rest, who
came from Camp Wadsworth, Spartan
burg, S. c., where he is stationed at
chaplain of the 104th field artillery.
The engagement of Miss Harring-
ton and Commander Bagley, who is
brother of Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife
of the Secretary of the Navy, was
nounced at Washington in Octobe
1916, at party given for Miss Ha
rington by her aunt, Mrs. Albert p.
Niblack. She has made her home with
her parents in California for several
years. Her mother was Miss Minnie
Downing, of New York.
Commander Bagley, who is thirty
six years old, is a native of Raleigh,
s. C. Since the United States entered
the war he has been on active sea
duty until recently. When the Jacob
Jones was sunk off the coast of Eng
land it was reported that he had lost
his life. Later reports, however, de-
clared him to be among the survivors
He was rescued by five seamen
some of whom later died from the eff
| fects of wounds or exposure, and
landed on the Scilly Isles. Soor
| afterward he returned to the United
| States. His brother, Ensign Worth
Bagley, u. S. N. lost his life in a ma
val action in the Spanish-Americaz
War.
