CELEBRATE ARBOR
DAY IN A NEW WAY

BY proclamation of the Governor,
next Friday is to be celebrated
throughout the State as Arbor Day
the day for the planting of trees,
making beautiful the highways and
school grounds. While it is a school
holiday and will be observed in all
of the schools of Maryland. it is also
n day on which everyone can help
to make his or her community a bet
ter place in which TO live. 1t has long
been the custom for parents to plant
trees in memory of their children so
that as they grow up the trees may
grow up with them, and help to form
the most pleasant memories around
the home.
This year. with so many engaged
in the service of their country in the
army or upon the battlefelds of Eu-
rope. it is suggested that a liberty tree
be planted for each one of these men,
making Arbor Day. 1918. a patriotic
celebration. Ii will be within a day of
the first anniversary of our declaration
of war upon Germany, the day before
the great Army parade in Baltimore,
so that there will be a combination of
events TO make this a memorable day.

Princeton Joins Others In Refusal
To Send Crews To Annapolis
For Regatta.

Princeton has joined Harvard. Yale
and Cornell in a definite decision not
to row in the national regatta on the
Severn on May is. The Tiger var
sity and freshman crews will row all
their races over their home course on
Lake Carnegie. The season will be
opened with a contest between the
freshman and Control High School, of
Philadelphia, on April 20. On April
% there will be varsity and freshman
races with Harvard and on May the
Columbia and Pennsylvania eights
will be met for the Childs cup. On
May % there will be varsity and
freshman races against Cornell.
1t will be noted that this schedule
does not provide for a Yale-Princeton
regatta, which had been believed was
a fixture for this spring. 1t develops
that Yale invited the Tigers to row
on the Housatonic on May Is, but in
view of Princeton's decision now TO
row away from home and in consid-
Grafton of the fact that May Is al
ready has been designated as the date
for the Annapolis regatta, the Tigers
could not accept the offer.

SALARY RAISES FOR
COUNTY'S EMPLOYEES
Commissioners Grant Boost Be-
cause Of High Cost Of
Living.

Salaries of a large number of the
officers holding appointment under
the Board of County Commissioners
were given a boost yestrday at the
weekly Board session The Commits
sioners had been importuned for some
time to grant the raises and after
careful consideration determined that
it was only fair as well as being good
business. The order granting the in
crases called attention to the fact that
the high cost of living together with
the steadily mounting salaries in all
departments of government work had
brought about a condition where it
would be necessary to either increase
salaries or lose the services of many
employees.
During yesterdays meeting Sheriff
Joseph H. Bells filed his report show
ing the income to his Office and en-
closing a check covering this, which
amounted to $I69S0. This amount
was divided as follows: Summons
fees for foreign State witnesses.
$26.40; civil work, $1,000; poundage.

Work on the Dorsey Branch bridge
in the upper part of the county hav-
ing come to a standstill and there be-
ing need that this structure be com
pleted, the Board passed an order re-
questing H. E. Gray, the contractor,
to appear before them on April 9th,
to explain the delay and arrange for
the completion of his contract.

ANNEXATION IS
BEING HURRIED.
Preston Seems Determined To
Waste No Time In Grabbing
Hold Of County Sections.
WANTS WORK RUSHED.
Mayor Has Asked Department
Heads To Get Busy Right
Away In Newly Acquired
Territory.

Mayor Preston and the Baltimore
City officials do not contemplate let
ting any grass grow under their feet
in taking advantage of the enactment
of the annexation bill, and its having
been finally made a law through the
signature of Governor Harrington
Full speed ahead is their announced
slogan and officials yesterday bestir-
red themselves to carry out Mayor
Preston's expressed desire to start as
quickly as possible all arrangements
for comprehensive extension sys-
TEN. After telling his official family
he wanted it to get busy the Mayor
announced that the Comptroller's De-
partment would install separate books
for the territory to be added to the
city, to keep that department posted
as to the amount of money that comes
in from taxes and the amount spent
on improvements.
The Mayors plan is to have each
district get its quota of the money
expended in the new annex He said
he did not want money taken from
one district and spent in another.
One of the first important works the
city will undertake in the new terri
tory will be the laying out and paving
of new streets. A city-planning ex-
pert will study the new annex and
outline a plan of development, par
ticularly for residential sections. 1t
is believed that this work may go to
Thomas Hastings, the New York
architect who planned the treatment
for the Civic Center, the sunken gar
dens for st. Paul street and the re-
arrangement of Mount Vernon Square.
The present county water system
will be taken over and extended.
Later arrangements will be carried
out to sewer the new sections and lay
conduits.
The Appeal Tax Court will re-classi-
fly property in the annex.
With all the improvements in mind
the city will be compelled to ask for
new loans, since. the funds now in
hand are insufficient.

SAILOR BASEBALLERS
MEETING HOLY CROSS.
Initial Game On Worden Field
Gave Indications Of Being
Stiffiy Contested.

After trimming Johns Hopkins Is
to / on Homewood Field. Baltimore,
yesterday afternoon, the Holy Cross
batsmen and tossers are opening the
Navy schedule on Worden Field dia-
mond this afternoon.
While the Navy tossers are in fine
shape for so early in the season, yet
they will have formidable foe to con-
tend. with when they face the Worces-
ter Coilegians. The Massachusetts in
stitution in recent years has developed
exceptionally strong teams, and from
reports emanating from up North this
years combination is no exception.
Prior to the game this afternoon it
was planned that Rear-Admiral Eberle
a firm believer in all branches of
athletics would toss out the first ball,
and thus formally start the season.

LOCAL PREACHERS
AT CONFERENCE

The Rev. DR.. II. w. Burgan, pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, left here yesterday afternoon
to attend the conference of his church
which meets today in Caroline Street
Methodist Episcopal Church. At the
same time the conference of two other
Methodist branches, the Methodist
Protestant and Southern Methodist,
will meet in other parts of the city.
AS it is unusual for all three branches
of this church to meet in the same
city at the same time. it has been hint
ed there will probably be a union of
Methodism before the conferences are
over, and especially is this suggestive
since on Sunday there will be an or
daination of the young candidates for
the ministry from each church at the
same time and place.
1t is generally understood there will
be an effort made to return DIR. Bur
gan to his present church here. DR..
Walsh, at Eastport, is also expected to
be returned.
1t is understood that upon his own
request the Rev. DIR. William l. Nc
Kenney, pastory of the Maryland Ave
nue. Methodist Episcopal Church, will
not return to that pastorate, and there
is also rumor that the Rev. George H
Fielding, of Arnold, pastor of Trinity
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
will also be given another field.
1t is generally understood in confer.
ence circles that it is the desire to
cut off the Southern Methodist Church
in Annapolis from those of the county
circuit and have one pastor especially
for the Annapolis church with his
residence here and not at Arnold as al
present.
Laymen Day at the conference will
be on Friday when the lay delegates
will attend.
