Bonus For Teachers.

HagerstOwn. - All school teachers
regularly employed on June in the
Washington county schools will re-
ceive a bonus In addition to their
salaries, and indications are that this
bonus may reach about $50 each.
County School Superintendent C. E.
Dryden stated that the bonus would
not be the same in all cases, but would
approximate $50 teacher, expecting
those whose salaries are near the 5000
mark.
The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 to be distributed among the
teachers of the State whose salaries
are under $500. State Superintendent
M. Bates Stephens has asked Tor the
names of all teachers regularly en-
ployed in Washington county on June
l. with the number of days they taught
during the school year and the salary
each receives. Teachers holding pro.
visional certificates or substitute certi-
ficates or those without certificates, it
is said, will not be included in the list
The list being made up from this
county will include all teachers whose
salaries are less than 500 year, but
whether those receiving between 5000
and $500 salary will participate in the
bonus is not definitely known, but it is
generally thought they will not.

Blow To Commuters.

Baltimore.-With the approval Of
the National Railroad Administration,
both the Baltimore and Annapolis
Short Line and the Washington. Balti-
more and Annapolis Electric Railway
Company have applied to the Public
Service Commission for permission to
Increase their passenger rates so as to
make them conform to the schedule of
rates prescribed by Director-General of
Railroad McAdoo for steam-operated
roads. This means the establishment
of straight 3-cent-per-mile fare over
these roads. the discontinuance of the
sale of round-trip tickets at reduced
rates and the lacking up of commuta-
ton rates to the extent Of 10 per cent.
1t means also that the excess-baggage
charges will be increased and, in the
case of the Washington Baltimore and
Annapolis Railway at any rate. the dis
continuance of many book fares.

SUBMARINE WORKS

Another Boat Containing IS
Men Reaches The Vir-
Qinia Shore.

Washingt0n.-The American steam.
er Ptnar del Rio was sunk by a Ger.
man submarine 70 miles off the coast
Of Maryland. One Of her boats, with
the captain and II members of the
crew, is missing; another, with Is
men, has landed on the Virginia coast.
A brief dispatch to the Navy Depart.
ment announcing the sinking did not
say whether the ship was shelled or
torpedoed. Hope is held that the
missing boat either has been picked
up by some passing vessel or will
turn up at some point along the coast.
Until Saturday night the raiders had
not been reported as showing them
selves since the Norwegian steamer
Vinland was sunk off the Virginia
Capes last Wednesday evening at s
o'clock.
All sinkings reported to the Navy
Department since the submarines left
the New Jersey coast district have
occurred off the coasts of Maryland
and Virginia, with several of them
due east Of Cape Henry. This indi-

ping lane.
Since it became known that the SUBJ
marines were in this area, naval and
air forces have concentrated their ef-
forts there. The task of bagging the
sea wolves even in so limited an area
is not an easy one as the vessels can
submerge and lie on the bottom until
danger is past. Then, too, the sug-
gesti0n has been made that the craft
may have been finding refuge at night
in the many coves and inlets along
the Eastern Virginia shore line and
there recharged batteries and given
the crew breathing and resting spells.
The Pinar del Rio was freighter of
1854 gross tonnage and was built in
South Shields. England, in 1895, being
christened the Saba. She was bought |
by an American firm some time ago |
and placed under American register |
It is assumed here that she was en-
gagged either in the coastwise or West |

Wilson Likes Maryland Law.


Annapolis
Maryland's compulsory work Law
try, in the opinion of Prof H. Stage
Within. of Columbia University, who
as chairman of the executive commit
tee of the National Commission on
Prison Labor, was in conference at the
White House with President Wilson
and Governor Harrington.
Professor Within and his col
leagues of the Prison Labor Commit
tee are deeply interested in securing
legislation, either by Congress or by
Legislatures of all the States, where
by every man physically able to work
shall be compelled to contribute his
share to the common good, at least
during the war 1t was at Professor
Whittin's suggestion, after he had
land law. that Governor Harrington
was requested by President Wilson to
attend the conference and explain the
law and It's effectiveness According
ly Governor Harrington brought with
him and gave to President Wilson a
summary Of the law, setting forth its
procedure and some of the cases sue
cessfully prosecuted under it.
Governor Harrington made it plain
that the law differs radically from the
usual vagrancy law, which is aimed at
the shiftless and those without means
of support, while the Maryland law
reaches rich and poor alike. As an
illustration of the laws effectiveness,
Governor Harrington related the case
of wealthy Marylander whose only
work" consisted of clipping the cou-
pons of his bonds, but who, when COM
PEELED to register as person with
out occupation" very quickly found
some occupation of general usefulness
when confronted with the alternative
Of working on the roads.
While there may be an efforts to in
duce Congress to enact Federal legis-
lation, greater effort will be made to
secure immediate action by state leg
islatures, where concession to legal
conditions can be made which will
make the law more effective because
better adapted to vigorous enforce
ment. New York and New Jersey al |
ready have passed compulsory work
laws which promise to give good re-
suits. With President Wilson's in
dorsement, it is believed other legisla-
lures will enact similar laws, taking
the Maryland law as their basis.
