tended BY Members Of

The funeral of William b. Saume-
mig, whose death occurred on Satur-

TO WORK PRISONERS
ON STATE HIGHWAYS.
Governor Announces This Plan
Has Been Agreed Upon Fol
lowing Meeting Yesterday.

Following an important conference
at the House of Correction yesterday
Governor Harrington this morning an
nounced that the provisions of the
Harrison bill. authorizing working of
prisoners on the State roads, will
shortly be taken full advantage of.
The Governor said that there will
be a further conference this week with
members of the Board of Prison Con-
troll upon the subject of taking pris-
oners from the Maryland Penitentiary
and farming them out to the State
Roads Commission. However, it has
been fully determined to send at least
$50 of the House of Correction inmates
to the road gangs.
The proposition of working prison
ers on the roads was the outgrowth of
the serious shortage of labor all over
the State and the inability of the road
commissioners and contractors to get
workmen. The contractors and road
commission will have the guarding of
the prisoners and the establishment
of prison camps, and will also have TO
provide for the maintainance of the
prisoners.

SIGNED TODAY.
Governor And Presiding Officers

WATER BILL is UP.
This, The Most Important Local
Measure Of The Session,
Will Probably Receive
Executive Sanction.

Governor Harrington is this after
non cleaning up list of bills passed
by the last General Assembly and sent
to him for his approval or disapproyal.
OF prime interest to Annapolis among
the GA measures to be acted upon is
the Annapolis Water Company bill
changing the method of selecting the
president of the company and placing
this important duty in the hands of
Mayor James F.. Strange, after taking
it away from the members of the City
Council who have for some time been
dead-locked over the efforts of Mr.,
George T. Melvin to be renamed
The bill was passed with the idea of
breaking this deadlock and legislat-
ing Mr.. Melvin into office. Although
there is very great disapproval of the
measure, which also provides for a
referendum upon the subject of the
erection of filtration plant. the Gov

An unusually strong faculty has
been secured for the educational de-

sity, but now of the Western State
Normal School in Michigan, has been
engaged for methods in the Grammar

bodied person can during the next six
months produce food that would cost
anywhere from $50 to S100?
You can do it by joining the great
home gardening movement, which will
turn thousands of backyards and un-
slightly vacant lots into beautiful,
green fertility this year LIf you have
no backyard to cultivate you can find
some owner of a vacant lot glad
enough to have you beautify it with
your garden.
And from that garden you will get
something more than food. You will
get the thrilling smell of the soil.
You viii find in it a work that fas-
cinates. You will bring from it hard
ened hands and muscles, a tanned
face and neck and an appetite that
convinces you that your own vegeta-
bles-the vegetables you made the
earth produce-are far superior in
succulence and flavor to anyahing you
ever bought.

ernor has practically assured those
back of it that he will sign it.
While this bill is due to be signed,
it is expected that it will be one of a
very few of those which the Executive
will affix his signature to. AT least,
that is what he said last week and at
the same time he instructed his chief
clerk to date all the remaining bills as
having been presented to him on last
Thursday so that if they are not signed
today they win die by constitutional
limitation.
Among the important bills is that
continuing the Pimlico race track un-
der the jurisdiction of the Baltimore
County Racing Commission after the
annexation act becomes effective The
Governor indicated today that he ex-
pected TO sign the measure. Unless
he does so the Pimlico owners. after
January / next, would have to build
a new track in Baltimore County or
go out of business.
Among other bills pending is one
amending the workmen's compensa-
ton act so as TO provide that where
compensation is awarded for injuries
the pay shall begin at the date of the
injury. Claims, however, cannot be
made unless the injury extends over
more than two weeks This bill is op-
posed by the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association.
Still another measure opposed by
the same forces is the Leagues anti
blacklisting bill.
