DR.. Thomas Stockham Baker, fol
the past ten years Headmaster oi
The Tome School, left Port Deposit
February 2Sth to take up his new
duties as Secretary Of the Carnegie
Institute of Technology at Pitts
burgh. He resigned in December
and was asked to come to Pittsburgh
the first of January, but was un-
willing to leave Tome until his sue
cessor was appointed.
The resignation of DR.. Baker was
received with surprise and regret,
and his going away has been
the occasion of very unusual tributes
of esteem and affection. Hundreds
of letters have been received by DR..
Baker from present and former
patrons Of the school and from the
old Tome boys expressing keen re-
gret at his withdrawal. HIS resig-
nation was also received with disap-
pointment by the community. AS a
Marylander and as Hartford Coun-

servering his connection with Tome,
prepared resolutions of regret and
he was the guest of honor at
handsomely appointed dinner given
by the Masters to express the high
esteem in which he is held by his
associates and their appreciation OF
the excellent work he has done for
the school, At the close of the din
ner loving cup was presented to
-DR Baker. The students of the
school have been equally anxious to
show their loyalty and affection and
presented him with very handsome

dorpitories His departure was the
occasion of an unusual demonstra-
tion by the entire student body who
accompanied him to the railway
station and by their songs and
cheers gave renewed pledge of their
devotion to him.
During DR.. Bakers eighteen years
at Tome as Master and Director, his
successful work has been widely
recognized by educators. His new
post, however, will offer wider field
for his abilities. He recently re-
ceived letter from the Secretary of
War in which he spoke of the Car

CRIMINAL LAW
CHANGES ASKED
Two Bills in Hands of Com
mittee Are Being
Discussed

over a score of bills for changes
in the criminal law are in the House
committees. one being to allow hus-
band and wives to testify against
each other.
Representative Joseph Marcus, of
Allegheny county, has two bills
changing criminal laws. One meas
ure makes it lawful in all cases of
embezzlement to charge i'm one count
in the indictment and under one
date the aggregate amount which
may have been embeZzled by the de-
fendant during the period not barred
by the statute of limitations, whether
the offense consist of distinct acts of
embeZZlement on different days or
not.
The other Marcus bill provides
that a defendant in criminal prose-
cution, held for grand jury action.
would be deemed to have waived
his right to challenge any member
of the grand jury unless he would
serve n written notice upon the dis
trict attorney within five days after
he has been held for court. The
notice would contain a demand that
the indictment be presented to the
grand jury of the term to which the
defendant is held. In case of de-
fault by the grand jury, the. district
attorney would have to notify the
defendant of any subsequent grand
jury before which such indictment
is to be presented

GAME CODE BILL
TOBE DEBATED
State Authorities Will Wait
Until Changes Are All in
Hand Before Acting

The first of the bills to change the
game code of 1917 to make its ap-
pearance in the State Senate has cre-
ated considerable talk because it will
fit in with the expressed desire OF
many sportsmen, especially in view
of the efforts being made to conserve
certain kinds of game. The state
Game Commission is receiving some
suggestions, but will not make any
moves until every one is heard from.
| The state authorities would ike TO
preserve the code as far as possible
and give it Il trial, although it is
recognized that blackbirds and
squirrels have become a nuisance,
and should not have as much pro-
lection as heretofore.
The bill in hand comes from Sena-
tor I. l.. Eyre, Chester. and follows
out the thought of protecting the
ruffed grouse. This bill would allow
but three ruffed grouse; three ring
necked pheasants; 4 Gambel quail
and wild rabbits as the daily limits.
while the weekly limit would be
made fifteen grouse, ten quail and
forty rabbits. The cuts are most Sc
we're in the weekly bag limits.
The game and fisheries commit
tees will not start work for some
time as yet, as the bills are just COM
mencing to reach the two houses,
and it is believed more relative to
game will be heard from. Some of
the members are boosting the bill to
allow coon shooting in winter.
The game commission is taking
advantage of the weather conditions
to push its propagation work and
more deer and pheasants will be put
out this month than known in Feb
ruary. The January record was one
of the best ever known.
