POWER NEAR READY.

Before the week is out the JOB OF
connecting the giant Government radio
plant on Greenberry Point with the
necessary flow of electric Juice" Will
have been practically finished by work
men of the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric Railway, which has
the Government contract for furnish
ing the power. The two ends of the
land lines. one on either side of the
Severn river, have been finished. and
with the completion of the cable lay
ing the entire line of about four miles
will be linked up.
Two reinforced submarine cables are
being laid from barges. They parallel
each other and run parallel with and
lust outside the county bridge over
the Severn river. From the Annapolis
side a pole line carried the current
from the power plant on West street,
where it is transformed from $4,000
volts to voltage of $500, across coun-
try to the end of the Severn river
bridge. Here connection will be made
with the underwater lines and made
again on the far side of the river to

VERDICT MAY NOT
END BAUGH CASE
1t Is Believed The Dawson
Chemical Company Will Take
An Appeal In Suit.

While the third trial of the suit OF
the Baugh Chemical Company for
$500. 0O0 against the Dawson Chemical
Company. both having factories in the
INNER part of Anne Arundel county.
resulted last night in a verdict by
iurv before Judge Dawkins in the SUI
nerior Court for S1S9. 1886, the indi-
cations are that litigation is not at an
end. An appeal will probably be taken
ut once.
Twice juries in the case failed TO
reach an agreement in the claim for
damages for failure to deliver pyrites
under a contract of April, 1913, for
the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
There is pending at the present time
before the Court of Appeals an inJunc-
ton suit for compelling delivery OF
pvrites under the contract.
The Baugh Company was represent
ed at the trial by Frank r. Savidge,
of Philadelphia. and Attorneys W. lr-
vine Cross and Lee S. Meyer. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by Attor-
news Charles McHenry Howard and

EXCURSION BOATS TO
RUN, SAY COMPANIES,
War Will Not Interfere And Boat
Owners Are Preparing For
Busy Season.

1t now developes that there will be
excursion trips by boat during the
summer Notwithstanding the war
time conditions
1t is not believed that the war will
interfere with the excursion season.
With the exception of the Baltimore.
Chesapeake and Atlantic Line all of
the steamers that have been operating
between Baltimore and neighboring
territory have again reported TO the
Custom House authorities an intention
of running excursion boats this sea-
son.
This includes those going to Toll
chester. Stoney Greek, West River,
Rock Creek. Chesapeake Beach and
to neighboring cities. Some doubt has
been expressed as TO whether the
Baltimore. Chesapeake and Atlantic
viii carry excursionists TO Claiborne
and Love Point. Anyhow, no move
has been made in this direction. This
line is part of the Pennsylvania Rail
road system. which is now operated
by the government, and the consent of
the Director General must be had be-
fore any boats can be used for eXcur-
sion purposes.
1t is the judgment of those engag-
ed in the business that this will prove
a profitable season if the weather is
conducive.

Because I'm a Volunteer.

ANNEXATION GETS
It IN THE NECK.
Baltimore County Court Holds
That Absence Of Referendum
Makes Law Invalid.
GOES TO APPEALS COURT.
City Officials Claim That They
Will Get A Reversal In The
Higher Tribunal On An
Appeal.
Appeal.

Baltimore City's annexation grab
scheme. whereby the city would take
over the best part of Baltimore
County ana the bigger portion of Anne
Arundel's taxable basis, got it in the
neck yesterday afternoon before the
Baltimore County Circuit Court
Judges McLane and Duncan filed their
opinion in the case of John F. Nc
Graw TO compel ]. Bosley Merryman,
Baltimore County Treasurer, TO col
lect only that portion of the taxes for
the year during which his property
in the annexed area will remain out
side the city limits under the Annexa-
ton Act of the last Legislature They
held that the annexation law is void
through it's failure to give a referen-
dunn TO the people in the annexed ter
ritory.
The opinion was delivered through
Judge Duncan who, in substance holds
that provision of the Constitution,
that the lines between counties may
not be changed without the consent of
the people residing in the territory to
be annexed, applies TO changing the
timore County. He also held that the
Annexation Act changes the lines be-
tween Baltimore and Anne Arundel
Counties, in as much as Baltimore
County intervenes between the city
and the portion of Anne Arundel Coun-
ty annexed. Baltimore County having
practically the northern side of the
Patapsco river Judge McLane stated
also that annexation of territory to the
city without a referendum, while there
is a provision against annexation of
one county's territory to another coun-
ty without a referendum, amounts to
denial in the former case of the
equal rights under the law, guaranteed
by the Federal Constitution.
As to the Daily and Morgan decision
of the Court of Appeals, which, as
stated, held that the city's limits could
be extended without a referendum,
Judge McLane said that while the Con-
stitution makes the decision of the
Court of Appeals final and conclusive,
and binding upon lower courts, IF the
pofnt involved was in fact in the case
decided or a necessary incident to the
Judgment arrived at the higher
courts decision can have no binding
force. whatever persuasive force 1t
may have as matter of reasoning or
logic" if the court has gone outside
of the record of the case before it.

MUST ABIDE BY THE LAWS

District attorney Munley, in an adj
dress delivered at Seward the other
night, issued a warning to pro-Ger-
mans, aliens and Americans. Pro
German were told to keep their
mouths shut during the period of the
war. Aliens were also told that they
must obey the laws of this country.
Both pro-Germans and aliens, who
have fattened at the national crib for
years; who have had every advantage
of free land, must now abide bv the
laws of the United States. Mob ven
geance will not be tolerated but the
United States will deal more severely
with those who commit infractions
than will mob. Tolerance of the
American government and the people
will only last so long and the time
has now come when tolerance has
virtually ceased. Americans were
also warned that they must give plen-
tifully so that the war may continue
10 victorious end. District Attorney
Mnnley spoke for nearly half an hour
and frequently his remarks, pointed
patriotic, were roundly applaunded by
the large audience. The speech was
the best that has been delivered in
Seward and every word was spoken
with a thrust that should have found
its mark.

The tendency of the modern face,
according to Professor James Keith,
lecturer on anthropology at the Royal
Institute, is to become wedge-shaped,
with longer, narrower and more
prominent nose. Prominences above
the eyes are disappearing, and the
brow is becoming smooth and of an
even contour. The changes in the hui
man face, declared the scientist, are
due to changes in methods of masti-
cation from the earlier days of the
human race.
