CONFEDERATION OF Proper
TIONS SWEEPS MT. LAKE PARK
Five Buildings Entirely Destroyed and
Numerous Others Damaged.

Fire about ten o'clock yesterday
morning completely destroyed five
buildings at Mountain Lake Park and
damaged a number of others to a
more or less extent, entailing loss
that at this time cannot be estimated,
but it run we'll up in the thousands of
dollars.
The buildings burned were the As
sembly House and three four-room
cottages attached thereto and being a
part of the property owned by Mr.. M.
NJ Schrock, who recently purchased
the same and who was engaged at the
time of the fire in making repairs
thereto; the William Bailey Cottage,
located several blocks from the AS
sembly House, where the fire had its
origin the fire having communicated
itself with the Bailey property by
flying embers, which were driven be-
fore high wind.
One property not wholly consumed
but seriously damaged, was that
known as the R. G.. Richardson house
at the foot of the hill below the old
auditorium, and which had about a
third of the roof and its supports
burned away. The contents and walls
were somewhat injured by being
water soaked. The building was saved
from complete destruction only by the
efforts of the residents of the Park
and the chemical engine belonging to
the Oakland Fire Department which
was rushed to the Park as soon as the
appeal came for help.
Other buildings but slightly dam
aged were the following, the damages
being to the roofs only and which
were of slight consequence:
The new amphitheatre, the Deacon
ess Home, the Sincell cottage, the res
idence of Mr. James A. Enlow and
two of Miss Stolapher's cottages.
The fire had its origin at or near
the Assembly House where two or
three men were engaged. in raking
up and burning leaves and refuse, and
which the wind caught and carried
beneath the house where it could not
be reached and VIII ch in a few min
utes resolved itself into conhagra-
ton which threatened at one time to
sweep the entire Park, but which for
tunately was gotten under control
through the efforts of the residents of
the Park and the volunteers who went
from Oakland

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Few Matters of Local Interest Given
Attention This Week

Annapolis, March 31.-With the end
of the 1920 session of the State Leg
islature but three working days off,
for 1t ceases to exist on Monday next,
there remains a mass of matters that
claim the attention of members Of
both the Lower and Upper Houses Of
the Assembly. The probabilities are
that a session will be held on Satur-
day night which may extent into Eas4
ter Sunday morning.
A few local bills for Garrett county
have passed both houses and these are
now in the hands of the Governor.
Among other local achievements is
the passage of the game bill fathered
by Mr.. Naylor and applicable to Gar
rett, Frederick and Washington coun-
ties.
A surprise may be sprung in the
Senate before the session closes that
will be a revelation not only to the
members of the legislature, but to
the people of the State at large. Sew
eral of the Delegates have had an in.
timation that something of a sur
prising nature has been kept in store
for the last hours of the Assembly's
session, but they have not been able
to fathom the affair any more than
some of the Senators. If the matter
comes to the surface there will be
some exceedingly sore spots as a re-
suit.

1t is important that every stock

If the Fair is to go ahead we must

We believe that the tendency to
Capitalization of power and au-
thority in the general government
made specially manifest during the
nations participation in the world
war and the consequent encroach-
.ment upon the constitutional power
and authority of the states can be
successfully resisted only through
a like consolidation and centrali-
zation of power in the state gov
ernment, whose executive should
be clothed with sufficient authority
to control public expenditure and
the administrative policy of the
state and who would exercise his
powers with full sense of his re-
sponsibility to the people while the
people would thereby be enabled
to place responsibility for extrava-
gance and al-administration of
public affairs. Experience has
demonstrated that the increasing
costs of the administration of the
government are directly traceabe
to diversified responsibility; a large
number of elective officers detract
from executive power and make it
difficult, if not impossible. for the
people to locate responsibility for
results which they disapprove and
prevent them from securing eff
ficiency in government which is
the principal concern of the tax
payer.
Some of the states have already
adopted this reform, noticeably the
state of Illinois. with great success.
1t is under consideration In many
others. We respectfully recon-
mend that your association urge it
upon the people of New Mexico.

Chicago, June 6.-Republican
platform builders went seriously 10
work tonight on the more trouble
some of the planks remaining to be
fashioned.
One of these was the declaration
on the treaty of Versailles and the
league of nations, subject of long
standing and bitter controversy.
Another dealt with industrial rela-
tions, bringing into contrast widely
diverse schools of economic thought
A third related to Mexico, always
a topic of debate and now some
what complicated by recent deVel-
opments south of the Rio Grande.
On all these entire harmony was
predicted by all the party leadersb
although most of them conceded
that interesting scrimmages poss =
bly, reaching the convention floor,
would have to be fought out.
Complicating the task, ter1por-
arjly. was a reaction against the
platform program worked out by
some of the leaders in washing
ton. The movement against that
program, apparently leaterless, was
based on an objection That repupl-
can senators had talen too free Il
hand in pre-convention platform
construction.
Extremists Reach Chicago.
