Circuit Court for Garrett county con-
vened with Judge Robert R. Hender-

charged the grand jury, of which Mr..
H. V. Leighton, of Mountain Lake

the court room that the docket is the
shortest in many years.
The appeal docket was taken up on

port.
The grand jury, in its three days
session ending last night, has found a
large number of indictments, many of
the infractions of the law being for
bootlegging. The grand jury will
probably adjourn today or early to-
morrow morning.

Residence of C. w. Friend at Bloom
ing Rose Completely Destroyed

On Monday morning of this week
during the absence of the adult mem
bers of the household the large and
very comfortable home of Mr.. and
Mrs Cornelius W. Friend. located at
Blooming Rose, about three miles
west of Friendsville, was completely
destroyed by fire of mysterious orr
gin.
Mr.. Friend was absent from the
house attending to his duties as far
mer and Mrs. Friend was at the barn
milking some cows when the fire was
discovered by a young girl employed
in the home, who gave the alarm but
so much Roadway had been gained by
the flames before assistance arrived
from the adjoining farms that nothing
could be done to save the property.
The house was the original home
of Mr.. Friends father, the late Mr..
Ira E. Friend, and was substantially
built and furnished.

Camp Sites Offered On State Re-

serves with Attractive Location to All.
High rents and the profiteer have
no terrors for those who can take adj
vantage. of State Forester F. w.
Besley's offer to spend their vacations
on the Maryland Forest Reserves.
Nothing has gone up because of the
war, for everything is free. These
lands are now thrown open under easy
conditions to all residents of the state,
and Mr.. Besley says that this is ne
time to make all reservations for tine
summer season.
AS many know, and as great
many Go not know. the State owns
outright in Garrett county nearly
three thousand acres of forest and
mountain lands. In Baltimore county,
along the Patapsco River, 1000 acres
more are owned by the stat, with an
equal area, state-managed, open for
Camping on the same terms as Tie
reserves themselves. There is no
otter spot in Maryland wherc beauti-
flu, healthful surrounding Ray be
had for the asking. free.
For those with a weekend to spend
in the country, presuming our camper
lives in Baltimore, the Patapsco Re-
serves will make strong appeal
The Patapsco Reserve borders the
river between Relayand Hollofield and
it is a naturally beautiful region
Camping sites are readily reached by
train, trolley or automobile, and
thirty minutes ride and a few cents
fare are all that any Baltimorean
requires to enjoy it. Several hundred
sites have already been layed out
here by the board of Forestry. They
command not only a good view but
also wood and water. On the reserve
the Board is represented by a resi-.
dent Warden, E G. Brince of II.
chester. The State Forester may be
reached at his Office, 532 N. Howard
Street, by telephoning Mt. Vernon
1856, and the local Warden by calling
Gainesville SO R. In either case
there is no delay in granting camping
sites absoluty free to bonafde ap
plicants.
If you have week or two at your
disposal, or live further west in the
state, the 5000 acres embraced in the
Garrett County Reservations offer
equal attractions with a slightly
larger amount of woods, mountains
and very real wild life. The Balti
,role and Ohio Railroad also make,
these places easy to reach, Oakland
and Hutton being the proper places
for detraining. From June first tt
October thirty first, there is a specia
rate from Baltimore. A. L. Sines
of Oakland, the local Forest Warder
is prepared to act as guide, instructor
or landlord to the satisfaction of al
who may take up residence there
for the summer. Drinking water
fuel, fishing and swimming and boat
ing are conveniently at hand This
is the highest part of Maryland, the
most densely wooded, and practically
the only place where ideally print
tive conditions still remain one Of
those which were once found all ovel
Maryland. Applications for the Gar
rett County camp sites should be ad
dressed to Mr.. Besley at Baltimore
The best sites will go to those whC

STUDENT DROWNED SUNDAY
Eldest Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry NJ.
Speicher, of Accident, Victim.

|
Speicher, of Accident, Victim.
Henry Ward Emerson Speicher, IS
years of age, the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry M. Speicher, of Acct
dent, this county, was the victim Of
most distressing occurrence on last
Sunday afternoon about three o'clock
when he lost his life while in bathing
with two or three friends in an old
mill pond two miles from Westmin-
ster, Md, where he was student of
Western Maryland College.
From what can be learned Of the
sad affair it seems that the young
man and his companions repaired to
the pond after they had participated
in a memorial parade at the school
during the earlier hours of the after
noon for the purpose of bathing. The
companions of young Speicher repair
ed to the head of the pond leaving
him standing on the breast Of the
dam, from which he plunged into the
water and was seen to sink beneath
the surface by little boy who hap
pened to be present. The boy stat
ed that he did not rise again, and be-
coming alarmed he called to a Boy
| Scout who was in the woods nearby,
and who succeeded in bringing young
! Sreicher to the shore after diving for
him. His heart was still acting and
every means at the command of the
scout as well as of the students who
were the companions of the victim,
were used to restore him. but to no
avail
As soon as it was possible to do so
after the news of the occurrence
reached the college authorities at
Westminster message was dispatch
ed to the parents at Accident and the
body was prepared and shipped on
Monday morning to Cumberlandwhere
it was met by the Bolden ambulance
and transferred to the grief-stricken
home at Accident. So
The present year was the second
spent by the deceased young man at
school where he was prime favorite
among both the faculty and the stu
dent body He has been leading his
classes in every branch of study since
his entrance into the school.
The funeral of the young man took
place from the English Lutheran
church at Accident yesterday morn
ing at ten o'clock, the services being
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Young,
pastor of the church, assisted by Rev.
Prof. Yount, of the faculty of West
ern Maryland College, WHO arrived in
Oakland on Tuesday evening and
went from here to Accident yesterday
morning for that purpose.
As an evidence of the popularity Of
Emerson the largest crowd in the his
tory of Accident gathered at the fun
ertl services, the church being filed to
capacity and many who sought admis-
sion could not be accommodated. The
great masses of flowers received from
many sources were banked about the
altar of the church. The remains
were laid to rest in Ccd's acre at the
Dunkard church a short distance from
Accident
Messages of coincidence were re-
ceiyed by the parents of the young
man from the authorities at the col
leges and from many others VINO
knew and esteemed him.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY NOW
REIGNS SUPREME
.fferences Ironed Out in Both House
and Senate and Congress
Gets to Work

Washington, June 4. With all differ
ences ironed out and perfect harmony
reigning in both the House and Sen
ate, the Republicans of the seth Con-
gress have perfected their program
and gotten down to business with a
CELEBRITY and efficiency which has
stupefield their opponents, who had
counted on Republican dissention as
their chief hope of future party
success.
After more that twenty-five years
of service in the Senate, having been
elected the last time by the people of
Pennsylvania by majority of 100000
votes. Senator Penrose, regarded as
the ablest authority on custom duties
and taxation in either House, was
chosen chairman of the Finance Com
mittee. which will frame the new
revenue and tariff laws during Re-
publican control. Senator Borah, of
Idaho, deferred to the great majority
of his colleagues when he said that
1--WE have nothing against Senator
Penrose personally, but have differed
with him as to certain methods and
theories of taxation. The people very
definitely stated at the polls last
November that they wanted the DEM
ocratic party turned out of power,
we mean to see that their mandate
is obeyed." Senator Gronna, another
Progressive, pointed out that in his
opinion it made no difference as to
any theories the new chairman might
have and that he voted for Penrose
in t he interest of better legislation.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, long
classed as Progressive, was made
president protein of the Senate, and
the entire list of chairmanships was
made up according to the rule of SEN
iority long followed by the Democrats,
which is the rule which has been
found to bring about the greatest
amount of efficiency.
In the House no difficulty has been
found in maintaining the best good
feeling among Republican members.
: Factionalism, which was the natural
lomentary result of a brisk contest
Tor Speaker, has disappeared entirely,
and the contention of Representative
Longworth, of Ohio, that the member
ship of the Steering Committee should
be increased from five to nine memb-
ers in order to include a representa-
tive of the South, one of labor, and
two of the Western agricultural sec
ton, has been agreed to by all those
interested. The committee started
their work Immediately upon the con-
vening of Congress, and two days
later the first Republican House in
eight years passed the woman suf-
frage amendment to the constitution
and began the passing of appropria-
ton bills delayed by the Presidents
refusal to call Congress in extra
session earlier.

SALTWATER ALL-STARS VS.. M. S. P.
Third Game With Visitors Results in Their Defeat by
Score of S to 3.
By ]. r. s.

speculation was adrift among the
fans as to whether or not the locals
would be able to stem their op-
ponents onrush. However, they
proved to be the masters of the
situation and were able to pull
themselves from a very threaten
ing problem. Then in the ninth
frame after two men were gone,
all that stood between the visitors
tieing the score was a base hit.
Schell the first man up struck out.
Huelsmann beat out an infeld
grounder for a hit, and moment
later he stole second. Cayou went
out on a fly to Frost. Byles gets
safely on when Eros fumbles his
grounder and this allowed, Huels-
mann went to third on the same.
Byles stole second. Boo was now
to bat and a safe hit meant two
runs. He had been to bat three
times before and he had always
pounded the ball, but not to safe
territory. Therefore, he faced the
locals pitcher with full confidence
of producing the necessary hit,
but, alas, he went out by the
strike out route. bringing an abun-
dant applause from the throats of
the fans.
The locals we're held scoreless
until the last half of the third.
Burn the first man up in this
frame clouts one out for safe hit
and a moment later he stole second
base. Eros and Jam struck out.
Hick connected for safe one, adj
vancing Burn to third. Lohr
dumped one in front of the plate
and Cayou who took a felder's
choice play delivered the ball to
home plate and Huelsmann let it
60 through his mitt, the ball roll
ing out near the visitors resting
bench. Cayou again recovered the
ball and as Lohr was galloping to-
ward second, Cayou heaved the
ball high over the second base,
mans head which went bounding
out to centerfeld and allowed
Hick to score and Lohr to come to
roost upon third. Wells struck
out, retiring the side. Cayou was
responsible for both of these scores.
With two men gone and a man on
third and a rolling grounder in his
territory, he should have tossed
out the batsman at first and ended
the inning. Burn was half way
home before the ball was hit so by
the time Cayou felded it Burn was
nearly home and the play would
have been close even though it was
perfect, while the batsman had not

Soul of the people! Battle flags are furledl
Let us turn from the warfare of the world
And make ourselves full worthy of our peace.
Is there Hunnishness at home in us2
Do we applaud the riot and the ROUTE
If we look in our hearts and find them thus
Tis ours to cleanse them out.
Soul of the peoplel We aroused our might
To drag the autocrat from his mad course,
Shall we turn from that high resolve of right
And make ourselves the autocrats of Forces
Have we any of us, schened and planned
Whereby some Class shall seize the peoples crown?
If Junkerism breeds within the land
'Tis ours to live it down!
Soul of the peoplel Let us still prepare!
Our sword be Reason and our shield be Thought!
Let us not make ourselves the greedy heir
Of that which ruled, and ruined, those we fought
Set US no Violence upon throne
With ministers of malice and of hate.
If we are kaisers to ourselves and own,
Help US abdicate
