Southern Maryland Gets New
Railroad Record for
State.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 31-Maryland
has led the country in many features
of railroad operation. 1t had the first
railroad and now 1t comes to the
front with the distinction perhaps of
having the first steam railroad in the
East to operate by other than steam
as a motive power.
The management of the Southern
Maryland Railroad Company oper-
ates its passenger service with gaso-
line. The company has had a large
motor truck adjusted to the gauge of
the line and equipped with the regu-
lar underframe and wheels OF the
ordinary locomotive. The engine is
similar to those of all automobiles
and 1t draws the passenger coach
regularly every day over the line.
Steam still is used as motive
power for freight service. II Is said
the patrons of the line are much
pleased with the way in which the
innovation has worked. 1t gives
as speedy movement as did the steam
engine and seems to be handled more
easily.
This line runs from Brandywine, in
Prince Georges country, to Mechan-
icsville. in st. Mary's county, about
twenty miles.

SUGAR PROBE WILL
RESUME TOMORROW
Senate Committee To Seek
Real Cause Of made
quate Supply.

Investigation of the sugar shortage,
Senator Gronna, Of North Oak kota,
chairman of the Senate Agricultural
Committee, announced today, will be
resumed tomorrow. The committee
will try to ascertain the real cause of
the Inadequate supply.
There is plenty OF sugar in the
country" declared Senator Gronna.
"as has been shown conclusively by
testimony already given before this
committee. Just why Ii is not on the
market is a matter which this COM
mittee is going to find out and make
public"
He criticised the United States
Sugar Equalization Board and placed
the blame for the present shortage
partly on the board and partly on the
Presidents failure to buy the Cuban
crop when ii was on the market.
Later the Cuban supply was with
drawn or sold elsewhere and when
the Government got ready to buy. the
price had been raised and very little
sugar was found" said Gronna, in an
interview.
Had the matter of handling the
nations sugar supply been placed In
the hands of business men instead of
being rnishandled by the Govern
ment,p Gronna declared, "there would
be no shortage at this time"
