TO say that the 18th anniversary Of the
settlement of Friends in Maryland was
celebrated in Baltimore last week.
The occasion referred to was the two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
establishment of Baltimore Yearly
Meeting, which was first held ut West
River in 1872 and which George Fox
speaks of attending. An all day ex-
cursion down the Bay to the site of
this first General meeting, (which has
been held annually ever since and was
moved to Baltimore about 100 years
ago. was made on Saturday.
At the opening meeting on Thursday
evening the representative of Arch
bishop Curley called attention to the
fact that of all the early settlements
in the New World, only the Catholics
under Lord Baltimore and the Quakers
under VIM. Penn gave absolute relig-
'ious liberty to all. Delegates were
present from London yearly meeting
and from nearly all of those on the
continent. Of most of those west Of
the Ohio river, Baltimore is the moth
er or the grandmother as the case may
be.
All delegates and visitors were Ia
ken on grand sightseeing trip around
Baltimore Friday morning. The pa
geant at night was very beautiful
and elaborate affair held In the fine
auditorium of the Maryland Casualty
Company. Various scenes from the
life of George Fox, PENIS Treaty
with the Indians, the first yearly meet
ing ut West River with the arrival
successfully of George Fox and his
friends and of Lord and Lady Balti-
more with their train, Quaker we'd
ding, etc. gave occasion for great
variety of striking costumes, while his
tory was brought down to date by rep
resentation of child-feeding scenes In
Europe. Not the least appealing was
tn view Of an incident In the life OF
Jehb Woolman, when a Southern plan
ter, moved by his exhortations volun-
tarily released his slaves, said Stoves
being represented by the Glee Club OF
Morgan College, who rendered delight
fully some old negro melodies.

CAPT. WILLIAMS CHECKING UP

Following our disclosure two weeks
ago of the remarkable circumstances
surrounding the arrest Of l.. W. John
son by Sgt. Phillips Of the State Po-
lice force letter from Capt. Williams
to as announced that the matter would
be carefully Investigated and a report
made TO us. We regret that we cannot
yet advise the public what Capt Will
Jams examination disclosed. In the
meantime Sergt. Philips has been pro-
noted to First Sergeant and transfer
red to the Baltimore office. When the
case of Mr. johnson came up for
trial on Wednesday the state police
corporal who has been placed In charge
of the Bel Air sub station asked that
the charge be dismissed, and his re-
quest was complied with.
Scarcely had the smoke cleared from
the first controversy before announce
ment was made through the daily press
that Sergt. Phillips was under invesu-
CATION for participating In "dry"activi-
ties in Hartford, contrary to law. we
would have been unable AZ yet TO find
a public report OF this investigation.
The public will be glad TO learn that
Capt. Williams Is keeping close check
on his men. Judging from the rapid
ity with which Officer Phillips has been
promoted over men on the force for q
longer period he must be an exception.

COL. TYDINGs TO FIGHT FOR
BONUS BILL

It is said at the instigation Of Bal
timore bankers q test case has been
brought TO ascertain the legality Of
the State Soldiers Bonus bill passed
by the recent General Assembly. As
sistant Attorney Gen. Amos Woodcsek
has been desinated to direct the fight
for the measure and has listed Lieut..
Col. Tydings, Of Havre de Grace,
among his volunteer counsel to assist
him.
Former soldiers will await the out
come with interest. Many who were
uke-warm on the bonus feel that 1t
should have been put squarely up to
voters and are heartily Disguised with
such tactics. Should the matter go to
a vote later, no matter what the out
come, we believe results will show the

SAVE THE FISH

According to general reports fishing
in Hartford waters is at very low ebb
this season. No longer are real rec
ord breaking catches reported by our
shippers and indications are that the
prospects are still poorer for coming
years.
With the advent Of McCall's Ferry
dam the opportunity for shad to spawn
In the Susquehanna was lessened and
now veritable barrier Of nets makes
their efforts to get up stream almost
impossible.
II Is to be sincerely hoped some more
successful plan of control and propa-
CATION can be devised before the in
dustry TX wiped out.

BOND CASE SETTLED AND
TREASURER ROUSE
SWORN IN

All Hartford citizens were pleased to
learn that after hearing the treasurer's
bond case from Hartford on Friday the
Court of Appeals handed down an opin-
ion sustaining the decision Of Judge
Harlan that the local treasures bond
law of 1916 takes precs ien,e over the
general law of 1920. This means that
the bond of HarfoM's treasurer is FIX
ed at $25, ZOO annually instead Of max
ing it an exorbitant figure equal to the
entire levy. Such a bond would have
been out of all reason and cost citizens
a large sums of money as the county
pays the premium on the treasurer's
bond.
On the strength Of the decision
Treasurer Rouse procured new bond
which was accepted by the County
Commissioners and was sworn in on
Monday morning. Mr.. John S. Young
is his counsel.

STEPPING ON THE GAS CAUSES
MOST ACCIDENTS

An accurate record Of traffic acci-
dents in Maryland during the past year
shows that 639b occur on straight
stretches, $3.50 on curves and 10 at
railroad crossings. This would indi-
cate that our Unborn desire to step on
the gas when a good straight road ia
reached Is responsible for the majority
of accidents. Too much speed lessons
control Of the car and then slight
lmishap results in spill.
1t was believed the road from Bel
Air to Baltimore was the most danger
Gus road in the state but widening 1t
by concrete shoulders cut down the

SEED CORN ASSOCIATION GET
TING ORDERS

The Hartford Seed Corn Growers As
ISOLATION has been hooking orders free
ly this season until now very few mem
bers have any seed for sale. A rough
idea of how seed has been scattered
over Maryland Is shown by the follow
ing approximate bookings: Cecil Co.,
100 bushels; Baltimore county rs BUSH
els; Carroll 40; Montgomery 30; and
Prince George 10. Association mem
bers have agreed to concentrate their
efforts upon Reid's Yellow Dent and
Johnson County White 30 they can 80
out and win in the keenest competi-
ton.
Just now special stress is being laid
upon the selection of seed corn, having
in view the elimination of root rot so
far as possible. Demonstrations last
year showed an average increase OF
800 in yield where this process was
used last year.
From the numerous 5-acre corn plots
now being put under demonstration the
growers hope to get some fine yields
and material with which to go after
business in other states next year.

FISK WINS FROM HOWARD
IN ANNUAL DEBATE.
Ry Jerome Wright.

Nashville, April 27.---In a battle
royal whose dramatic. clashes and
final results will not soon be for
gotten. Fisk, in her fifteenth inter
collegiate Debate, on April IA. 1922
unfolding the affirmative won the
decision from Knoxville College on the
subject: Resolved. that the United
States should establish a system of
compulsory unemployment insurance
similar to that now in force in Great
Britain. Ammon M. Moore, Jr., of
Fort Worth, Texas and Charlie L. Me-
Vile of Memphis. Tenn. represented
Fisk. Roscoe c. Vaught and William
M. Lovelace represented Knoxville,
seldom in the courts of law are wit
pesses subjected to such grilllng cross
examinations as were directed against
Fisl1's team by Knoxville, but Moore
and Newille's calm and forceful ar
guments compelled Knoxville to de-
bate on Fisk's ground.
While Fisk has a reason to feel es-
pecially proud of her Moore and Me-
vile because of their good work
-Knixville has no need to feel asham-
ed of her Vaught and Lovelace.

OF SEASON TO DALLAS
FOUNDRY----2ND GAME, A
TIE.

The first game of a double header
was won by the Dallas Foundry. In
the first two innings 1t seemed as
though the Dunbars would be easy
winners, but errors by Woods and
Coleman caused the iron workers to
tie the county. Flagg started the
game in great form, but weakened in
the fifth frame though he was allow
ed to remain on the mound In the
sixth and seventh innings the iron
boys got to his slants again and the
result was fearful.
Orman and big Hand" Williams
were credited with the heavy hitting
for the Dunbars. The second game
scheduled for five innings was called
in the sixth on account of darkness.
Walker being on the mound for the
Dunbars, pitched great ball. The Dun
bars scored their first run in the first
inning, the iron men putting their run
across the pan in the third, two more
runs came in the fourth, but was tied
by the Dunbars in their half. In the
fifth frame the score was united by
timely hitting. Williams smashing a
hot triple to right. Again in the sixth
the Foundry men scored making the
count win. The game was called on
account of darkness.
