Judge Davis said this was impos-

Mrs. Inch declared it was ridicu-

extort $215 from a millionaire, and
said she was victim of persecution.

Daily Stock Letter,

NEW YORK, March 19-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Trading today was again somewhat
Tighter and prices, while they did not
recede in any degree from the Tues
day closing level were highly irregu-
lar, giving a spotty appearance to the
list as whole. Bullish sentiment
still out weighed bearish sentiment.
There was little positive character
to price movements today. Some OF
the steels were well bought and there
was good advance made by the ship
ping and kindred stocks.
AS usual there was no little strength
among the specialties. The sugar, oil
and chemical groups made a good
showing There were one or two
strong spots among the rails, Yarticu
larly Reading and Texas and Pacific,
but there was great initiative mani
fest in that department,

An Ideal Appointment.

Governor Harrington has made not
only popular but an exceptionally eX-
cellent selection in the appointment OF
DR.. John M. T Finney as member OF
the State Board of Education. DIR.
Finney has always shown a deep IN
terest in public education, and as
member OF the School Board OF Baltl-
more exercised most wholesome and
intelligent influence. His executive
ability and his capacity for dealing
broadly and sane ly with large ard vita
questions of physical and moral welfare
have been demonstrated in France dur
ing many months, and it is subject
for public congratulations that the same
vigorous and reliable qualities and dis
interested spirit are now to be put at
the service of the State.
Maryland's public school system in
many of the counties is in serious need
of Improvement, DR.. Finney's addition
to the State Board of Education should
impart new impulse to the effort to cor
rect existing defects in our educational
machinery, and should give fresh
strength to the movement TO work out

A Memorial To Our Boys
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr. EDITOR:
Several suggestions have been made
for a memorial to our boys who gave
their services-some their lIves-in the
late Worlds War. These suggestions
are attractive and should receive con
sideration. Some memorial to the boys
will surely be adopted and completed
by the citizens of our County and sug
gestions have been asked for the best
method of determining the character
of the memorial and the manner of I'M
ancng the project.
1t seems to me that the initial steI
could best be taken by the appointment.
of a committee of, say from each cleo
ton district in the County, to determi ,e
the most appropriate memorial and the
best method of obtaining it, including
plans for securing funds necessary
| for the purpose.
This Committee, think, could. be
appropriately appointed by the County
Commissioners and / make that sugges
| ton. .....
