STATE NAY AGAIN
BUY ITS OWN BONDS

There has been considerable COM
ment in general banking circles on
the statement of Governor Ritchie that
unless the bids for the States $600,000
issue OF certificates of Indebtedness 10
be opened Tuesday next were high
enough to be entirely satisfactory, the
State itself would purchase the bonds
for its sinking fund. The Governor
gave no intimation as TO what he
would consider a price beyond WHICH
the State would not hid. and many
bankers feel that,in making the state
ment he has thrown a damper on
prospective bidders. The State has,
of course, reserved the right to reject
all bids, and this. bankers feel, was
sufficient warning that ii would not
sell the bonds cheaply. Investment
houses say they have an active de-
mand for high grade bonds and there
is reason to believe that the bids next
Tuesday will probably be shade
higher than the actual market.
OF the offering $5O0,000 will be for
the construction loan of 1920, and the
remaining 100000 will be for the
bridge loan of 1920. Last August, the
State purchased s1.OO0,OO0 of its se-
curities for its sinking fund.

Annapolis and checked up on the evil
dence on which Brown was convicted.
In announcing that Brown had been

dent the Department of Justice made
no announcement as to the reasons
on which the plea for another stay OF
execution were based Nor was any
comment forthcoming from the White
House ea A .a4
II was KNOWN, however, that upon
his return to Washington Mr.. Finch
reported to the Attorney-0enefal that
he had found discrepancies in the !
testimony of one or more OF thesprin-
cipal witnesses against Brown and
that it will require several days for
him to complete his investigation and
make his report In view of the fact
that Browns second reprieve expires
tomorrow. Mr. Finch pointed ont that
i would be impossible for him to sub

The Armory stood at the north
side, (of the State House.) al an equal
distance from the Court House: large
hail. the walls covered with arms
above the seats which were all around
the room. A seat opposite the door
for the Governor and his lady over
which hung full length portrait OF
the proprietor, Lord Baltimore, in his
flowing robes.
