BALTIMORE. October H.. - The

the Pennsylvania railroad. which
would practically out off Baltimore
from all transportation facilities with
the eastern shore of Maryland and
Virginia and Potomac river points.
has aroused the business interests or
the city. and the matter has been
called to the attention Of Gov. Ritchie.
In letter to President Rea the
Merchants and Manufacturers Assoc
citation asks a series of questions
These, when answered by Mr.. Rea,
will enable the business interests of
the city. which now rely on the rail-
way and boat service between Balti-
more and points covered by these
lines, to know exactly what to ex-
pect.
May Call Mass Meeting.
If the reply makes it evident that
the Pennsylvania will sooner or later
abandon its rail and water lines serv-
ing Baltimore the association will
call mass meeting of the wholesale
merchants and others interested to
adopt measures intended for the pro-
lection of their interests and of those
of their customers on the eastern
shore and in the Hewer counties of
this state and the northern portion
of Virginia. From these sources come
millions of dollars worth of business
to Baltimore.
President Rea. who has replied that
he will answer the questions just as
soon as he returns from an inspection
trip, claims that these lines have
been run at great loss ever since
the state started running subsidized
ferries. thus entering into compen-
tion with the railroad lines and the
good roads of the state made ship
ping by trucks practical and prof.
table. While he did not openly say
so, the inference taken here from his
statement is that the company ex-
pected subsidy from the state to
offset losses as the alternative to
Withdrawing the service.
Deny Right to withdraw.
Gov. Ritchie and some of the other
state officials have expressed the
opinion that the Pennsylvania rail-
road cannot withdraw the service of
any of its rail or water lines without
the permission of the Maryland Pub
lie Service Commission and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

NOVELS AND PICTURES

A movement is on foot to bar the Clara Hamon pictures" from the screen.
 This is good move. perhaps-for surely the moral lesson to be learned from her life would be so difficult to distinguish that the ordinary mortal would not be able to grasp it in the motion picture production of it's base ness. Fact that she killed Jake Ham on entities her to no especial notice.
 It was simply the continuation of an unfortunate episode that usually ends in disaster. Why re-enact its sensation al tragedy on he screen. But while we are busy barring certain pictures, how about Americas most popular novels. Have you read Robt. W Chambers "works?" Have you read his 'Business of Life" and other books of the same tone?
 They are all on the same line of thought as the Tiff estory of Clara Ham on. Yet they are popular" novels and one is not considered up to the min ute" in literature, unless being able to say yes. l have read Mr Chambers works.
