WHEEL HOUSE OF COAL
COMPANY DYNAMITED
Employment of NOn-UniOn La
Dor for Past Three Weeks
Thought to be Cause.

Information of the dynamiting of
the wheel house of the Manor Coal
Co., at Vindex was received Monday
The mines near which the destroyed
wheel house was located have been in
operation with non-union labor for
the past three weeks and it is thought
that the dynamiting is the work of
men belonging to the union. The
mines were closed when the nation
wide strike was declared and up until
three weeks ago had been idle.
Much machinery connected with
the work done in the wheel house was
entirely destroyed by the blast which
was felt for several miles. Until new
machinery is obtained, work in the
mines will again cease. The destruc-
ton of the building and its contents
was an entire loss to the company. So
far as could be learned, no one was
injured.
Blood hounds were used for the
purpose of trailing the person who
set the blast, but without avail. No
arrests have been made as yet, but it
is thought that the parry or parties
will be apprehended in the near
future.

BLOOD HOUNDS FAIL TO
TRAIL BARNUM GUNNER
Men Who Peppered Two Miners
and Make Getaway.

The bloodhounds owned by ex-
Sheriff Glover, of Fairmont, were
taken to Keyser Saturday night,
where the dogs were met by Sheriff
c. E. Nethken, of Mineral county,
and were taken to Barnum, a small
mining town 10 miles from Piedmont
to aid in the capture of persons
guilty of shooting two non-union
miners Saturday morning who are
employed by the Kalbaugh Coal
Company, Inc.
After the shooting occurred the
persons guilty of the crime made
good their escape in large tract of
woods nearby. DR.. 2. T. Kalbaugh,
Piedmont, one of the owners of the
mine where the shooting occurred,
called A. P. Brady of Fairmont and
asked that the dogs be sent to Keyser
on the first train. The dogs failed to
run down the would-be assassins.
Theodore F. Shaffer, As Avirett
avenue, secretary-treasurer of the
Kalbaugh Coal Company, Inc, mar
rowly escaped being hit by buckshot
when the miners were struck. Mr..
Shaffer was supervising preparatory
work to opening the mine when the
three were fired upon.
Frequent assaults on strikebreak-
ers working at mines adjacent to
Thomas and Elkins have been made
recently, in many cases the victims
having been beaten up seriously.
In practically all instances the often
ders having evaded arrest.

AUTOMOBILES IN COLLISION
Sunday Afternoon on the State Road
Near Oakland

While returning from Oakland on
last Sunday afternoon a car driven
by Clark Snyder, of near Bittinger,
collided with another car owned by a
Mr.. Evans, of Frostburg, the point of
collision being near the residence of
Mr.. Truman w. Casteel on the State
road mile north of Oakland. Sny-
der's car was overturned and badly
damaged, while that of Mr.. Evans
suffered only slight damage to the
hub caps. Miss Leota Folk, who was
in the Snyder car was bruised about
the head and arm and Edward Platter
of Jennings, also in the Snyder car,
suffered minor bruises about his head
and shoulder, while Snyder was also
injured about the head.
Shortly after the accident had been
reported Traffic Officer W. D. Casteel
placed Snyder under arrest and he
was fined SIS and costs on the charge
of reckless driving.

Has Been Playing to Crowded
Houses In Towns In w. Va.

The Dramatic Club of Potomac
State School, Keyser, West Va, will
present three one-act plays at the
Maryland Theatre, Thursday evening,

comes the famous "Whiz Bang Six"
an orchestra composed entirely of Po-
tomac State students. From press
notices in the different towns of West
Virginia where these two organiza-
lions have performed, it is learned
that superior performance is prom
ised the patrons at Oakland. Wher-
ever billed, the reports indicate that
crowded houses watched the excellent
acting by these young players. Poto-
mac State School has made an envi-
able record the past year in athletics
and it is interesting to note that sew
eral track and football stars are tax
ing leading parts in the Dramatic

SAY B. & @. WILL ELEC-
TRIFY ITS THIRD DIVISION
Will Install First Unit Between
Piedmont and Terra Alta

Following the activities in recent
weeks of civil engineers between
Piedmont, W. Va, and Tunnelton, it
was learned from an authoritive
source Monday that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad management will cleo
trify its Third Division over the
Allegany mountains between Keyser
and Grafton, W. Va, within the next
two years. The necessary data has
been sec"red as to the cost of equip
ment needed and that an estimated
appropriation of $5,000,000 will be
made for the work.
This includes the erection of two
large hydra-electric dams and power
plants, one in the North Branch of
the Potomac near Bloomington. Md,
and second one to be built on the
Cheat river, near Rowlesburg, w.
Va. Legislation from states of Mary
land as well as West Virginia will be
asked to secure the necessary water
rights to impound the water sufficient
to generate the power needed, if
satisfactory, and long term contracts
for power cannot be obtained from
companies in the region now fur
nishing electrical energy.
1t is learned the proposed electri-
fication will include at first one unit,
from Piedmont to Terra Alta, over
the Seventeen Mile Grade, and that
several electric motors as helpers"
and pushers will be installed. The
tonnage to be moved over the noun
tain will be doubled. Eventually the
heavy steam locomotive will be dis
pensed with and all-electric motors
placed in service.
Later a second unit will be put in
service from Terra Alta to Tunnelton,
W. Va, to cover the Cranberry and
Newburg grades.
According to the information Civ
en- it will be only a matter of a short
time, when the Baltimore G. Ohio
management will make the announce
ment of its purpose to try out the
electrical ideas over its mountain
grades.
Economy in transportation costs,
with less employees, it is said. will
be obtained by the proposed change.

Tourists Camping Site Has All Con,
veniences

The tourists camping site is Just
about completed at point near
Frostburg. Lighting, gas for cook
ing, plenty of mountain spring drink
ing water and toilet facilities are
provided. Electric lights were in
stalled last Saturday by the Frost
burg Illuminating Co., at almost cost.
A gas line was tapped and individual
hot plates are a part of the equip
ment. A sewer and water pipe line
is being eXcavated under the direct
ion of Councilman Harry Fuller,
Street Supervisor Joseph Richardson
and Water Superintendent James
Jeffries. Up until Saturday noon Is
men were engaged. Weather condi-
tons permitting, work on the sewer
and pipe lines will be completed this
week. Arrangements are being made
to provide a modern lavatory and
dressing room for the tourists.
The Frostburg camping site differs
from most other such camps in that
it is entirely enclosed by fence and
that special Waterman has been en-.
gagged to maintain order and give
protection to the towns guests.
Already 33 cars hailing from Flo
rida, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York,
Texas and Maryland have visited the
local site. In each case the tourist
notes the big advantage over other
camps visited this season.
The camp will easily accommodate
1000 automobiles and it has been sug
gested that in event there is a short
age of accommodation for those at
tending the Firemen's, Eagles and
Elks' conventions here this year
those coming in automobiles can be
we'll cared for.
Signs have been erected by the
Commercial Club at points on all
roads leading to Frostburg within a
so mile radius, indicating the location
of the camping site.

BALLOT TO REQUIRE AT
LEAST nine MARKS
Total May Be Increased To ~
For City Voters Before November

Although they will have to vote
only for one United States Senator
and in each Congressional District
two Representatives, Maryland voters
will have to make at least nine marks
before depOsiting a complete ticket in
the ballot box next November.
This will be because of the Consti-
tutional Amendments which the last
Legislature submitted and the bond
issues it proposed.
The things for which voters who
expect to cast complete ballot must
decide on, in addition to their choice
for Senator or Representative, are:
i Greater representation for Bal
timore City. This is to be sub
mitted in the form of two Consti-
tutional Amendments, requiring
two marks on the ballot.
An Amendment making women
eligible for all Constitutional Of
fees.
An Amendment to reduce the
number of elections so as to
eliminate all elections every
other year.
An Amendment to increase the
terms of the State Comptroller
and State Treasurer, so as to
make them agree with the fewer
elections plan.
In addition to these five marks, an
other will be required if the courts
holds the Soldiers Bonus bill consti-
tutional, as that measure provides
for referendum on a proposed So
100000 bond issue.
All these six propositions will be
on ballots in every county in the
State as well as in the city of Balti-
more, making eight marks necessary
for complete ballot in the State as a
whole. Garrett county, in addition,
will have bond issue for public
school purposes to be voted on, which
will require nine marks for a COM
plete ballot in this county.
In Baltimore City there are four
additional propositions, three of which
may not appear, but one is certain
to be on the ballot. The certain one
is the proposal for a $4,000, 900
school loan, an enabling act for which
was passed by the last General As
sembly.

TO DECORATE GRAVES
OF NATIONS DEAD
Those Buried In Local Gene
teries Will Be Remembered.

Next Tuesday will be Decoration
Day and the people as a whole will
observe it as such. Especially is this
true with reference to the fraternal
societies and the members of the
American Legion located in and about
Oakland.
A few years ago there were suffi-
cient number of the veterans of the
Civil War remaining to carry out the
decoration day services as laid down
in the ritual of the Grand Army Of
the Republic. Today barely half
dozen of these men survive and these
few survivors are weakened as a re-
suit of increasing years, hence the
duty of decorating the graves of the
soldiers who have passed devolves
upon those of younger years.
The following notice to service men
was handed The Republican for publ.
cation in this column Monday.

SIX WESTERN COUNTY
BOARDS ELECT OFFICERS
Organize To Better Conditions In
Five Western Maryland Counties

The first joint meeting of the men,
bers of the County Commissioners
Boards of Washington, Frederick,
Carroll, Montgomery, Allegany and
Garrett counties and the clerks and
attorneys was held in Hagerstown on
Friday of last week in the new Y. NJ.
c. A. building, when the County Com
missioners' Association of Western
Maryland was organized. Over forty
representatives from the six counties
attended the meeting, which included
the members and clerk of the Garrett
county board.
Henry Holzapfel, Jr., president of
the Washington County Board, who
called the meeting to order, was elect
ed president of the Association. The
other officers are: A. c. Baughman,
of Allegany county, vice-president:
Lewis L. Bowers,of Washington coun-
ty, secretary, and Berry E. Clark, of
Montgomery county, treasurer.
The purpose of the Association is
to bring the commissioners of the six
counties in the territory in closer
touch with their mutual activities and
to compare legislation in order to
bring about the enactment of meas
ures which will be of benefit to the
taxpayers and citizens of the coun-
ties represented in the Association as
well as the welfare of the State at
large.
Meetings of the Association will be
held at least once a year. The by
laws adopted stipulate that when the
term of a County Commissioner ex-
pires he can retain his membership in
the Association and have the right
to discuss matters brought before the
! Association, but he is barred from
voting on any measure presented.
President Holzapfel in accepting
the presidency of the Association, dis
cussed the need of legislation regard
ing reports on property for assess
ment and closer cooperation between
the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
and the County Boards relative to Sc
curing more frequent reports on the
issuance of licenses to automobiles.

Knights of Pythias Notes of Interest


At the last meeting of Garrett
Lodge No. 113, held on Friday even
ing, the rank of Knight was conferred
on class of twenty Esquires. The
session was attended by 102 members
of the local lodge and by one visitor.
All members of the lodge are ur-
gently requested to be at the Castle
Hall at $3.50 o'clock sharp on Tuesday
morning, May Both, to take part in
the Decoration Day ceremonies. The
parade will start at 10 o'clock. 1t is
proposed to have all fraternal organi-
cations as well as the school children
and the Crellin band in line.
Nominations for officers for the en-
suing term will occur on next Friday
evening at which time all members
are requested to be on hand and take
part in making these nominations.
There are a number of candidates
in the big class who have not yet re-
ceived their degrees and as this is the
case some work will probably be put
on next Friday evening.
1t is proposed to form a new Third
Rank team and work some of the new
members in it along with the present
team membership, which no doubt
will quicken interest in this part of
the lodge work.
On account of the large member
ship and arrangements to be made,
the committee having the banquet in
charge is experiencing some trouble
in procuring room large enough to
accommodate the crowd that is to be
present, therefore the date and ar
engagements have not yet been com.
pleted, burt the committee is at work
and it is hoped that a definite date
will be set in the very near future.
