OF PENNSYLVANIA
Alpine Club Dedicates Negro
Mountain As Top Of Key
Stone State.

GRANTSvULE, Nd, June H.
Hundreds of people from this section
OF Maryland participated today In
the Pennsyivania roof garden" ceie-
bration about two miles north of
Grantsviile. when the crest of the
Negro mountain was scaled and the
"top" OF the Keystone State dedicated.
The highest point In Pennsyivania
Is within a stones throw of the Ma
son and Dixon line and on the old
National pike.
The exercises were under the aus
pices of the Alpine Club. and the
climb started from the farm of
Peck Bros at 10 a. m. John ID.
Peck. as official guide, led the COM
pany through brush and over rocks
for a distance OF more than a mile.
and an hour or more of the hardest
climbing was necessary TO reach the
summit The altitude OF Negro noun
tain, which runs through into Mary
land. is 3-213 feet. This is the high
est point In Pennsylvania. The Negro
mountain section was plotted by Har-
old A. Bean, a member of the United
States Geological Survey.
The ceremony today. including the
raising of the Stars and Stripes on a
pole that had been planted on the
summit earlier in the week by the
Davis brothers, followed by the sing
ing OF America" and other patriotic
songs. Music was furnished by the
Citizens Band. the Boys Band of
Meyersdale and other musical organ
izations. and speeches were deIiv-
cred by members of the Alpine Club.
Owing to other engagements, Cover
nor Sproul and Chief Forester
Pinehot. of Pennsylvania, sent letters
of regret at not being present.
Negro. or Niger" mountain, as
IL is colioauially called, is said to
have derived its name from a rum
away slave in the long ago, who made
his escape from q Southern planta-
ton and found asylum on the fres
soil of Pennsyivania- This fugitive
slave is said to have lived for many
years in a small secluded cabin on
top of the mountain, which ultimately
was given the name of his race. There
is a good-sized plateau on the noun
tain top.
The exercises. which were attended
by several Thousand people, were in
charge of Col. Henry w. Shoemaker,
McElhattan. Pa. president of the
Pennsylvania Alpine Club.

While there is no statutory pro-

the qualifications of grand jurors
with respect to sex. the code Goes

Circuit Court Enjoins Operation
of Carrier From Iona

CUMBERLAND, Nd, June Is.--In q
decision given following the hearing
tefore Judge Robert r. Henderson In
the circuit court, Vance Goidsworthy.
of Lonaconing. was enjoined from
continuing the operation OF a motor
sus between Lonaconins ana Luke.
without first obtaining a permit from
the Public Service Commission Of
Maryland.
The Public Service Commission.
through its attorney william c.
Walsh. filed a bill of complaint re-
Gently asking that Coidsworthy be
enjoined. Goldsworthy was defended
by Horace p. Whitworth, attorney.
and II was contended by Goldsworthy
and his witnesses. many OF whom are
miners and papermill workers at
Luke, that these certain groups OF
fren desired him to haul them to their
work.. and had arranged with him
from time to time to do so. It was
contended that there was no direct
competition with the Cumberland e.
Westernport Electric line that oper-
ntes through the Georges Creek VAL
ley to these points
Mr.. Walsh argued that Goldsworthy
was common carrier in the opera
tion OF the bus and the hauling OF
passengers which made IL necessary
that he obtain a permit before con-
tinuing his operation of the bus.
A majority Of the witnesses, seeing
the costs in the case would be paid
by Goldsworthy, tore up their witness
fee checks.
