City Loses Fees Case.

The controversy between the city
and State over the surplus receipts
from fees of the Sheriff. States Attor'
ney, Register Of Wills and clerks OF
the various courts in Baltimore was
decided against the city on the facts
by Judge Soper in Part 2, of the City
Court. 1t had been previously decided
against the city on the law by Judge
Duffy in the same court.
City Solicitor Field said the case
will be taken to the Court Of Appeals.
II the lower court is sustained there,
the city will be required to turn over
to the State a surplus of about $780,
900 a year after the salaries of the
Sheriff. States Attorney and other
court officials in the city and the ex-
penses of running their Offices have
been paid.
Until the September term, 1916, OF
the courts the surplus had been turned
over to the State without question.
The payment was stopped upon the
advice of City Solicitor Field. but it
was agreed that until the controversy
had been judicially determined the city
should continue to pay the actual ex-
penses of the office Of the States At
torney and others involved.
Suits to determine the question
were brought against the city by Sam
W. Pattison, clerk Of the Criminal
Court; Sheriff McNulty and then
States Attorney Broening and were
prosecuted by the State. The suit of
Mr.. Pattison was tried as a test case
to determine the others, as the same
question was involved in all. One of
the points upon which Judge Duffy
decided adversely to the city was that
the Legislature had recognized the
surplus fees as belonging to the State
and had passed acts appropriating
them.
Following the decision Of Judge
Duffy in the Pattison case Judge Soper
ordered that judgment for $19,234.91
be entered against the city. This sum
represents the surplus fees OF the
clerks Office of the Criminal Court
for the September term, 1916, to the
May term, 1918, both inclusive. For
the same period the surplus Of the
Sheriff's Office was $6,83S.1S and of the
States Attorneys office $3.799.25.
Suits were brought for these amounts
and the decision in them will follow
the decision in the case tried.
Surplus receipts Of other offices last
year were: Register of Wills, $40,-
831.OS; Court Of Common Pleas, $19,-
258, exclusive of licenses; Superior
Court, $1S,O67.19; Circuit Court, $4,-
1850, and Circuit Court No. 2, 1854.
All the money went into the State
Treasury, although resulting exclusive
" from transactions in the city. The
City Court, which has no source of
revenue other than from court bust
ness, had deficit last year Of S2,33s.54.
Assistant Attorney Generals Ogle,
Marbury and Philip B. Perlman tried
the question for the State.
City Solicitor Field, who appeared
for the city, introduced bill at the
last session of the Legislature to have
the money turned over to the city. 1t
passed the Legislature, but was We
toe6 by Governor Harrington.

was sunshine and warm weather.

What the Flag symboIizes.

In 1777, within few days of one
year after the declaration of independ-
ence, the congress of the colonies in
the confederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national flag
and advanced it full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
1t was no holiday flag, gorgeously
emblazoned for gayety or vanity. 1t
was a solemn national signal. When
that banner first unrolled to the sun,
it was the symbol of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress
The flag means now all that our IA
theirs meart in the Revolutionary war.
II means all that the Declaration of
independence means. 1t means all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice, for
liberty, for happiness.

The Eindino of Old Glory.

When the day came that our revolu-
tionary fathers l. eeded to design flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds of a sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol of their own fair dreams, mys-
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came a
sudden rending of the fleecy mass by a
wind of liberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they then beheld patch Of azure sky
set thick with silver stars.
The stars-the stripes-the blue
Old Glory, blazoned in beauty across
the wonder of Gods great heaven, for
all the world to see. 1t is our flag

But l choose the rest

And the arms OF my own good man.
