MANY UTILITIES IN
 FINANCIAL STRAITS

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Several government departments have under consideration the organization of a board to hear cases involving disputes over rates between local authorities. and street car. gas and electric com panies and other public utilities, and to make recommendations. No legal power would be sought to provide for the carrying out of these recommend ations, dependence being placed on moral influence. The proposal was discussed with President Wilson be- fore his departure for Europe and his approval was asked. Some announce ment of the governments coarse is expected soon.
 The need for some sort Of federal action to stimulate the consideration by local authorities of utilities appli- cations for higher rates, grows out of the fact that wages and the cost of materials still are rising, and in many cases higher wages have been granted at the order of the war labor board.
 City councils, utilities commissions and other local authorities have been slow to act on applications for higher rates to meet increased operating costs according to reports to the war finance corporation, war labor board and labor department. Consequently it is reported that many utilities face 8. serious financial situation.

HINES TAXES ISSUE
 W|THELL|0TT'S|D IDEA

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Return of the railroads to a peace basis. as to their labor forces and other conditions affecting cost of operating, will require several months, Director General Hines said in a statement issued tonight, in reply to an address made by Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pa cific railroad company, last Saturday in Chicago
 MT. Hines characterized as unfair, MT. Elliotts comparison of the number of employees of the Pennsylvania rail road company in December 1917 with the 16 per cent increased force on the payrolls of that company in December, 191, to demonstrate that federal con- trol of the railways will not be produc- tive of the best results.
 The director general said favorable weather during December of last year and the free movement of traffic, in contrast with the bad weather and con- gested traffic conditions in December, 1911 justified this increase in work CTS, because of the greater opportunity for car repair, maintenance of ways and other work. The Pennsylvania railroad, MT. Hines also said. could not be considered as typical. as the average increase in number of employees of all roads from December, 1917, to January
 of this year, was only S.2 per cent. The increase in the number of em- | ployes under government control said 1 the director general, as compared with the number of employees when the roads l were under private management, is al- most negligible except in the regions of intense war activities, and the most | striking of these was the Allegehenv | r.Earr lHn4a
 road. where the essential coal and steel
 were produced and where many ship | building yards and other war industries
 were located"

WASHINGTON. March 10.-Convic tionS under the espionage act of Eugene V. Debs. socialist leader, and Jacob Frohwerk, a newspaper editor of Kan sas City. were sustained today by the supreme court in unanimous opinions delivered by Justice Holmes. Both men were sentenced by the lower courts to ten years Imprisonment.
 While not passing directly on the constitutionality of the act, the court in effect did declare valid the so-called enlistment section and reaffirmed it's opinion that the espionage law is not an interference with the constitutional right of free speech.
 Debs was convicted on three counts, but the court passed directly on only one of these, that charging him with obstructinS recruiting and enlistment through statements made in a speech at Canton. Ohio, last June. The other two counts charged him with attempt ing to incite insubordination and dis loyalty, and also with uttering lan- guage intended to provoke and en- courage resistance to the United States governments In arguing the case be- fore the supreme court, however, the government did not press the last charge.
 Many Gases Pending
 Frohwerk's conviction resulted from articles written by him and published in the Missouri Staats Zeitung. criticis- ing the United States participation in the war The court today granted peti- tions asking it to review the case of II. K. kircher, convicted under the espionage act, because of statements made in recent speech at Elizabeth West Virginia in which he declared that the government in the prosecution of the war was corrupt and controlled by the moneyed interests. He was sentenced to two years Imprisonment
 A number of other espionage cases are now before the court, while about 15 cases involving charges similar tC those against Debs, are pending in ap- pellate courts over the country.
 In affirming Debs' conviction. Jus tice Holmes reviewed the case in de- tail and held in effect that Debs had been guilty of wilful attempt to obstruct recruiting and that the jury had beer properly instructed by the lower court

dest sight of all; her two sons and
daughters, whose heads were turning
gray, we're weeping most bitterly be-
cause their dear mother was gone to
return no more. Even her grand
children wept as though their hearts
would break. Such love as this does
not stop here; it will follow their
mother beyond the tomb where there
is no more sadness, nor lonesome
days for their mother; where they
can walk with her in the haven of
rest, If they prove faithful to the end.
"Grandma" was sick only a few
hours. She spent few moments in
the garden the day before she died
with her daughter, Mrs. Reynolds,
and said to her that she was lonesome
and tired Of living.
She will be greatly missed by all of
her children and none will miss her
more than Mrs. Bell Lotz for she was
with her almost constantly for more
than thirty years.
Funeral services were conducted at
the grave, with singing and prayer,
and short talk by the writer, after
which the body was laid to rest by the
side OF her husband in the Annapolis
cemetery, in the presence OF many
friends and weeping children, to await
the Resurrection Morn. J.S.

had real old American waltz.

cards to folks at home, and was in
terrupted by rush from those waltz
ing Yanks who had been interrupted
by an American aviator who flew
high into the air and then would make
dive for the boat just to torment
those dancers on deck. Of course,
he didn't land on the boat but it sure
was interesting to know how aecur-
ate he was with his bird. He flew
under the bridge at Coblenz as we
neared our landing place. This stunt
by aviators was first pulled by one of
our American fliers on last Christmas
day, but is now a common thing
among all aviators. The bridge is

of any American is to be expert

Obituary.

Pattie Casteel, the subject of this
sketch, died March 25th, 1919, at her
old home on Brush Creek, in Annsp-
oils district, aged so years. She was
the last of the old Lewis family whose
ancestors came to this county from
Tennessee more than 65 years ago.
Her parents names were George and
Elizabeth Lewis, who settled at the
mouth of Carver Greek, just above
Sabula, when they came to this coun-
try. They reared family of six boys
and five girls, all OF whom, except
one, were born in Tennessee. They,
it might be said, were the grand and
great, great grandparents of the Lew
is families in this part of the country.
Now let us turn again to the subject
of this sketch. "Aunt Pattie" or
"Grandma, as che was mostly called,
was the wife of ''Uncle" James CAS-
teel Of Annapolis, who preceded her
to the other shore just seven years
We do not feel that we can, in the
least, portray the beauties of love and
meekness there was contained in a
loving and sainted mother like
"Grandmar Casteel. She was the
mother Of seven children--two boys
and Ave girls-six OF whom are still
living, and host OF grand and great
grand children to mourn her loss.
| "Grandman became Christian in
the early part of her life and proved
her faith by her works. She treated
all her children as nearly alike as she
was able to do when they were young;
each shared alike and when they be-
came old they did not forsake her
! We saw them at the grave-the sad.
