OF the traifc would be moving through
certain hours IN one direction and the
reverse would be true at other hours
Of the day This will cccur quite
regularly on this boulevard when one
considers that the large racetracks,
tennis courts. polo fields. etc. on Long
Island can be reached only by means
of this boulevard.
I, is con,ended By those familiar
with the problem and ! agree with
'hem-that regular lanes of tra'he IN
ono direction will more adequately
serve IN safe manner this large
vehicular traffic.
Those who have made o study q
heavily travelled highways have OBJ
served that when machines turn out 20
the left in an ondeayor 20 pass ana
forge ahead. these machines endangcr
and interfere with the traffic IN the
opoosite direction ard also the traihc
going in the same direction. increasing
the danger also for pedestrians cross
ing two lines Of traffic within WIDE
distances. A large percentage Of seei-
dents are caused b. such conditions.
Structural Details
Through the major portion Of the
avenue-a distance Of over five miles
there will be two thirty-four-foot road
ways. designed 70 be one-way through
avenues. with a s.x-foot division strip
running between these roadways. On
each side Of these roadways is an
eighteen-foot mall. with a trolley line
placed upon IL and a considerable al
lowance FOR planting trees, shrubs. etc.
In connection with this mall, or trolley
and grass plot. the matter has been
discussed with experts In the Park
Department, ard a determination OF
the width made so as 20 provide a
sufficient amount Of water-bearing soil
that is necessary for cultivation Of
trees and shrubs. These spaces also
will permit the trolley car passengers
70 enter and leave the cars safely.
These spaces also will enable passen-
gers after alighting from a car 20
safely make a crossing in either di-
rcction.
The service rosdways have been
given a twenty-fve-foot width, which
n Is believed will be adequate for the
slower moving vehicles and any other
traffic serving the abutting property.
Adjacent 10 this service roadway a
twentv-foot sidewalk and planting
space has been provided. This side
walk space is believed 20 be adequate
for practically all time 70 come and is

PROMINENT PITTS
CREEK MAN DEAD
Mr.. Frank B. Merrill Died Tuesday
Evening From Heart Trouble.
Age 73 Years.

1t is with deep regret we chronicle
death of Mr.. Frank B. Merrill, who
died at his home in Pitts Creek, near
this city, on Tuesday night last from
heart trouble.
Mr.. Merrill was born in Pitts
Creek seventy-three years ago and
all of his life had been spent in that
section. His occupation was that of
a farmer and he continued at his
work until the in6rmities of old age
compelled him to lead retired life.
He was one of the most prominent
citizens in his neighborhood, love-.
and respected by all who knew him
and our community mourns his pass
ing.
Only a few weeks ago he and his
wife celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary, at which all of his chill
dren and large number of friends
were present.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by four daughters-Mrs. George T.
Johnson, of Onancock, Mrs. w. T.
Belote, of Pocomoke, Mrs. L. P. Mer-
rill and Miss Rebecca Merrill, of
Tits Creek; also three sons-Earl
A., Dewitt Be- and Upshur H. Merrill,
who reside in and near Pocomoke.
The esteem in which the deceased
was held was attested by the large
numbr of friends who attended the
funeral which occurred on Thursday
morning in the Presbyterian church
Of this city of which Mr.. Merrill was
a member. Services were conducted
by the pastor, Rev. ]. w. Lacy. as
sisted by the Baptist minister, Rev.
G. N. Gardner. Interment was made
in the Presbyterian cemetery.
The pail bearers were Messrs. J.
J. Carnine, H. C. Carmine and Fos-
tue Watson, of Parksley, and Gran
vile, Woodland and Marion Merrill,
of Pitts Creek.

POPE BENEDICT XIV.
DIED SUNDAY LAST
Head Of Roman Catholic Church
Died AT The Vatican, Rome,
OF Pneumonia.

Pope Benedict XIV, head of the
Roman Catholic Church, died at the
Vatican, Rome, on Sunday morning
asst at $50 o'clock. The death of the
Pontiff has caused much sorrow the
world over. Even those who differed
with him in faith cannot but feel
grieved at his passing. His illness,
due to pneumonia, was comparative
ly of short duration. and while his
death was expected, still it came as a
great shock. The end came after g
long night of intense agony, and suf-
fering, the Pontiff now and then
iapsing into delerium throughout the
long, anxious night.
Monsignor Pizzardo in describing
the last moments, said to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, who was
the only American newspaper repre-
sentative admitted to the ante-cham-
ber:
"When the end was near was
called from my chambers and hurried
quickly to the Pontiff's bedroom
That was few minutes before G
o'clock. saw the Holy Fathe,

ates knelt beside the silent and life

the news to the press. l thereupon
hurried to the antcchamber, where
several newspaper men were await
ing events. and informed them that
the Pope had just died."
The Monsignor was asked at what
hour death had occurred, and he re,
piled: Exactly at this minute"
At this identical moment, the belh
of st. Peters struck the first stroke

W. H. DASHIELL, SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT, DEAD
Was Head OF Somerset County
Schools. ALSO Editor Of The
Marylander And Herald

William Handy Dashiell, SO years
old, died at his home in Princess
Anne Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Da-
shell had been in failing health for
the past two years and had been ocn-
fined to his home on account of ILL
ness since last September.
Mr.. Dashiell was county superin-
tendent of education for Somerset
county and had held the position con-
tinuously since 1884 with the exccp-
tion of two years during the admin
istration of the late Gov. Llovtl
Lowndes. He was also the owner Of
the Marylander & Herald, published
at Princess Anne. Mr.. Dashiell wac
a son of the late Rev. DR.. John H.
and Emily Irving Dashiell and was
born at Germantown, Baltimore
county, Nd, on January 2S, 1852.
Mr.. Dashiell received his early ed
ucation at private school in Balti
more. Later he entered Dickinson
College, from which he graduated in
1871. He was principal of the high
school at Crisfeld, then principal of
Washington Academy at Princess
Anne. He studied law and was ad
mitted to the bar. In 1884 Mr.. Da-
shell was appointed Superintendent t
of Schools for Somerset county. 1t
is understood that he had been en-
gagged in public school work longer
than any other man living in Mary
land. He gave personal attention to
the schools of the county until a few
months ago. He was connected with
the Maryland State Teachers Asso-
citation since 1885 and was president
of the Association of County School
Superintendent in 1907.

and published by the late Col. Eph-
rain G. Polk, and in 1897 this paper
was consolidated with the Herald. He
retired from active newspaper work
about five years ago. He was a
prominent Mason and a past master
of Manokin Lodge, 106.
Funeral services were held at An
tioch M. E. Church, Friday at 3
o'clock, and burial was in the Presby
terian Cemetery.
