The Mayor and City Council of An
napolis have been made defendants in
an injunction suit filed in the Circuit
Court to restrain them from opening
up the western end of Spa View

7ided by the city ordinance approved
on January s. 1928 The petitioners
are Harry L. Ellinghausen and Eliza
beth w. Ellinghausen. his wife, and
Judge Moss has signed an order
granting the injunction but reserving
% the city the usual right to move for
he resembling of the order and the
dissolution of the injunction.
Contest City's Authority
The petitioners. who are original
property owners at Spa View Heights
and have sold a number of lots there,
upon which residences have been
erected. claim not to have divested
themselves of title TO the bed OF said
Spa View avenue or any part of
same; that the city has heretofore
never exercised any ownership in said
street, but, without right or warrant.
has now undertaken to assume
ownership of so much of said Spa
View avenue as extends from its juno
ton with said Fifth street to the
limits of the property line" of the
plaintiffs; and that the city has at
tempted unlawfully to open the same
to and beyond the property line of
plaintiffs; and that. particularly. the
city has torn down and removed q
fence which. the plaintiffs allege, has
always designated and marked the
termination of Spa View avenue at its
western end and has separated the
property of the plaintiffs from the al

done on two occasions. They also al
/ lege that that portion of Spa View

4 boundaries of Spa View avenue and

ROTARlANS ENTERTAIN
VISITOR FROM OREGON
c. w. Hollerman, Of Astoria.
Makes Hurried Trip Here To
Attend Today's Meeting
TELLS OF RECENT FIRE

Members of the Annapolis Rotary
Club were agreeably surprised and
later delightfully."- entertained at their
weekly luncheon held today at Carvel
Hall when Rotarian c. w. Hollerman,
of Astoria, Oregon. made a hurried
journey over from Washington and
attended the local meeting in order
that the "One Hundred Per Cent AT
tendance" session OF the Rotary Club
session scheduled in his native city
would remain unbroken.
The visiting Rotarian from the Pa
cihc Coast state was given royal
welcome. and, in replying to the cor
dial greeting rendered him. he deliv-
tired an exceptionally interesting talk
al out the recent disastrous fire which
destroyed more than thirty city blocks
of his home town
City Built Over River
Mr.. Hollerman stated that Astoria
had teen built over a river and that
while it was the original intention of
the city's founders to fill in the ex-
panse of river covered by the city's
site, ii was found To be too costly and
consequently it was built practically
in the same manner as one would
erect buildings on reinforced bridges
This left. he said, a space of about
so feet between the surface of the
streets and the river underneath, and
when the Are got a good start the town
was doomed
His Club Met On Vacant Lot
Undismayed by the recent conna-
grafton, however. he said that every
effort is Icing made to rebuild the
city as quickly as possible, and one
of his reasons fer coming East is tc
endeavor to interest Congress in the
reconstruction program. Mr.. Holler-
man stated that recently the Astoria
Rotary Club held a 100 per cent
meeting" on a vacant lot, all of the
members bringing their own chairs
and putting plenty of pep" into tht
affair despite the fact that unfortu-
nate circumstances had forced then
into the open air.
Another 100 Per Cent Meeting be-
ing on the program for this week in
Astoria. he had originally intended tC
attend the weekly session in the ma.
tional Capitol so that the clubs rec
ord-slate would be kept unblemished
but upon his arrival last night il
Washington he was advised that h,
had reached there too late for tn,
Washingtonians weekly session Upoi
learning that meeting was beini
held in Annapolis today, he hurried.

Friends of Warden william Z.
Lankford of the House OF Correction
yesterday made another effort to pre-
vent his removal by appealing TO
Emory l.. Coblentz, Director of We'll

including two clergymen, besides the
chaplain of the prison. The burden
Of the statements made was that Mr.
Landlord was the right man in the
right place; that he is the best war
den the House of Correction had ever
had, and that the criticism of his ad-
mlnistration had been made chiefly by
newspapers and theorists.
Says LankfOrd Deserves Credit
r. T. Lilly headed the delegation.
Mr.. Coblentz sought to shorten the
pleas to lie made by stating that Mr..
Landlord deserved much credit for
his work, but that there had been
much agitation over the management
at tho Cut" and that certain
amount of decentralization had re-
suited.
j. Harry Lowekamp. a Gamer. of
the Fourth district, said he was fa-
miliar with conditions in the prison
and that Eugene O'Dunne, who start
ed the last fight against Mr.. Lankford,
had gotten his information from

Among others who spoke in praise
of the Warden and declared him very
loyal 10 the interests of the State
were Charles II. Toomey of Elkridge.

Dresden, Oct. 20. - To provide
bread for the populace which cannot
buy it, and to ward off famine. which
seems certain this winter, the Saxon
government proposes to confiscaie and
pawn, in the United States, treasures
of immense value belonging ID !he
former royal family of SaxOny. The
treasures now are lying Oh view in
the palaces and museums OF Dresden.
A bill providing for their disposal
now lies before the Landtag. or state
legislature. 1t is opposed tooth and
nail by the bourgeois parties IN tie
ground that it constitutes an infringe
ment of the rights of private property
but it probably will be passed by the
combined votes Of the socialists and
the communists.
Hunger Appears Everywhere.
Living conditions are deplorable
here, hunger appearing everywhere.
With prices sky-rocketing, the COM
mon people are reaching state of
mind bordering on despair. 1t is use-
less to pretend that Germany is sham
ming-as do some Paris politicians.
. Such propaganda cOllapses instantly
before evidence gathered on the
spot.
The writer met q well-known Ores
den editor who said he had earned
the magnificent sum of twenty bill
lion marks 40 cents)' in the last
week with which to keep himself and
family alive. Bread costs five bill
lion marks per loaf.
The writer saw an old lady of the
better class throw herself into the
river Elbe and moan with despair at
the cruelty of the fate that sent a
policeman to pull her out again She
once had been a well-to-do widow
with an income of ten thousand
marks a year. but recently she bad

day brings forth new beggars. match
vendors, hawksters and newsies who
manifestly have known better days.
Suicides Are Increasing.
At least four-fifths of the people
one meets on the street have that
pasty yellows complexion which re-
veals nder-nourishment. Suicides
are increasing each day. Begging has
become as common as in the Levanune
countries.
Both majority parties, the social
democrats and the communists. have
adopted resolutions censuriny the
Berlin government for its action in
sending federal Reichswehr troops
into Saxony. The communists have
called for a general strike but prob
ably will not get it.

Dear Ed:
Am writing you to tell you why l
prefer High Gravity Gasoline. l have
been using it for some time and get
more miles to the gallon out OF the
American gas than | ever could out
of any other kind.
The other day took long trip in
the lizzie, and had to refill the talk
on the way home, but the fellow that
sold me the gas didn't have any AMER
lean juice so had to fill up or stand
ard or most maybe it was unstandard
stuff. Anyway, what ever it was the
old jitney ran about mile and talked,
she Just wouldn't move another inch.
I have an idea that she was insuited
on account of me feeding her low
gravity gas, so from now on viii
know better
Yours for the gas,
