LOCAL MEASURE
Is NOW A LAW
Giving $4,000 for Public School
Purposes In Garrett.

On Friday last Governor Harrington
signed an appropriation bill carrying
the sum of $4,000 for public school
purposes applicable to Garrett county.
This measure was introduced by
Senator Speicher and while it was op-
posed by some OF the heavy weights at
Annapolis it was put over by the Gar
rett county Representative after hard
fought battle against odds which at
times during the debate upon the
measure appeared to defeat the bill
The appropriation covers three years:
81, 900 available for 1918. and $4,000 for
each of the years 1919 and 1920.

Important Case Decided in the
Court of Appeals.

Last week the Court of Appeals hand
ed down a decision affirming the de-
cree passed by Hon. Robert R. Hender-
son last August in the case of The First
National Bank of Oakland, against Col.
John I. McGraw of Grafton.
The amount involved in this suit was
about ST. 900 and the case was brought
in November, 1915, by Col. McGraw to
restrain the bank in the collection of
judgment against the McGraw property
at Deer Park. A large amount of tes-
timony was taken by the parties and
number of important legal quest ions
raised in the proceedings have now
been settled, and the contentious of the
bank fully sustained.
The bank was represented in this
litigation by Edward H. Sincell and
Fred. Thayer of Oakland, while Col.
McGraw was represented by Messrs.
G. S. Hamill, ST.. G. S. Hamill. Jr.,
Rennnger & Offutt of the Garrett
County Bar, and w. H. Wolfe of Park
ersburg, West Virginia.

rot figured until now in the inquiry.
The game played was chemin de
fer, and $1,000 is mentioned as the
smallest amount at which the bank
was first started. 1t was sometimes
doubled several times, SO that from
$4,000 to $4,000 was not an unusual
bank
Information that professional gam
blers had got themselves admitted to
some of the games was the factor
that prompted the prosecutor to in
clude it in his inquiry.

AN ACUTE SHORTAGE
IN SHIPPING TONNAGE

CHICAGO, March What is said
to be the most thorough and accurats
analysis of the shipping situation YET
presented was made public today by
the National Committee of Patriotic
Societies.
After long and patient inquiry in
which all available sources of infor-
lnation were used, the organization
concludes that the present acute
shortage" in shipping is at least =
425, 1874 gross tons This estimate is
based on the amount of shipping in
existence at the opening Of the war,
the tonnage built since then and the
los ses during the same period.
These figures place the amount Of
tcnage available for the United States
ard the allies today at 4,435,894 gross
tens less than the opening of the war.
20 this figure the report adds 100000
tens as the minimum necessary to
transport the United States forces to
the war zone and keep them supplied
vita food. clothing. ammunition and
other necessaries.
At the outbreak of the war there
were 42,574,5 37 gross tons of shipping

begin to realize the extent of the eff

Ii anything would demonstrate to us
the character of this exigency, it is
what is now happening in Russia.
There is only one thing, in my
judgment which will give us peace
worth having, and that is either a
military decision or a conviction on
the part of Germany Of the hopeless
ness of success in this ill-starred
policy of seeking to dominate the
world.
There is but one way to produce
that conviction in Germany that
success in this policy is unattainable,
The conviction will be produced only
BIZ a demonstration of an invincible
determination on the part of the
United States to bring all her re-
sources WILLINGLY and without hest

is coated, and when the weather Is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine

to seek relief two or three times during
the aight.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-

SEVEN DAYS In JAIL
FOR TAKING LIFE OF
lJNFAITHFUL FRIEND

NEW YORK, March 7.--Seven days
in the city prison will be twenty-five
year-old Jennie Mattana's punishment
for killing the man she says wronged
her and then refused to marry her.
With her baby in her arms, Miss
Mattana pleaded guilty to manslaught-
er in the first degree efore County
Judge Dixie in Brooklyn yesterday She
had been indicted for murder in the
first degree for shooting and killing
Giovanni Passiglio of No 10 Stays
street, Brooklyn. Her baby was born
in Jail three weeks ago.
When the case was called yester-
day morning District Attorney Lewis
said:
Il believe the ends of justice will be
met if this young woman is permit
ted to plead guilty to manslaughter.
She has already suffered severely"
When Judge Dixie accepted the plea
and announced his sentence of seven
days in jail which is believed to be
the lightest recorded for such an Of
tense, the prisoner lost the poise she
had steadily maintained since her ar
rest. For few moments she sob
bed, then said to the judge.
"Oh, l thank you, I thank you I'll
try to see that no one ever regrets
what you are doing for me"
Miss Mattana lived at No. 155 Boe-
rum. street, Brooklyn. After the shoot
irg she told the police that Passiglo
had promised to marry her after an
ardent wooing. When her condition
became delicate he grew cold and
brushed aside with excuses her pleas
that he marry her, Twice within a
few days before she killed him, she
s3id, Passiglio refused to make good
lis promise of marriage.

Wildcats Stop Mining.

Three wildcats tied up operations at
the mines of the Abel (Pa.) Coal COM
pany and incidentally cut down the
production 200 tons.
The animals had been prowling
about the mines for a week or more,
and on one morning, the heavy white
frost on the ground showed the min
ers that the cats had gone into the
mines.
There was no evidence of their hav-
ing come out, and the miners assem-
bled at the entrance and sent some OF
the men to get guns.
On account of the unusual condi-
tions existing in the mines it was late
before the last cat was killed. No coal
was mined while the men were hunt
ing the cats.

OUR SAVED FOOD :

Food Administrator Writes Presi'
dent America Conserved 141,.
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased By
s44,soo,o 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled tho Unit.
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas AL.
100000 bushels Of wheat and 44.eO0.
600 pounds Of meat during the past
year, valued In all at s., ,400, ,0OO,O ,OOo
This was accomplished In the face Of .
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking tho wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad
Food Administrator Hoover, In let.
ter to President Wilson, explains. how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up Of the millions Of bushels Of wheat
during 1917-18 and the shipment Of
meat during 1917-1s.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
10 $1,4OO,00O,00O, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and repl Asent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments Of meats and fats
(inciuding meat products. dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des;
tinations were az follows:

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning Of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly In hogs; they
were probably less. The increase In
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results In the last
half of the fiscal year, when the ex.
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100, 900
pounds, as against 1896 500,0 900 pounds
in the same period Of the year before.
This compares with an average OF
s01 100000 pounds Of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1867. .259, 900, 900 bushels
Fiscal year 1918. .340. 800, 900 bushels

OF these cereals our shipments OF
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1s to Allied destinations were:
Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and Of rye
100000 bushels, total Of .44,s00.-
900 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1867 were:
Wheat 135,1O0,O00 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, a total Of 137, 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels Of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest Of
wheat will be therefore, about 141, ,000-
600 bushels, or total Of 154, 900
bushels Of prime breadstuffs. In ad.
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
'aThis accomplishment Of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly II we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1916-17
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption aboIt
200 100000 bushels Of wheat which We
were able to export that year without

Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing to the large failure Of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only Just about our normal consump-
tion. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
