Another phase of the case in

ters. was enacted In police court

DISTRICT FOLK.

H0SP|CE
Constitution Provides WASH
ingtonians Shall Be in
Charge Of Project

The board of directors Of the Mt.
Carmel Hospice movement always
will be composed Of Neutrality-suspicious.,
despite the fact that the project Is
OF a national, and even interna-
tional, character, according to an
nouncement today by Mrs. Cath.
crime Kennedy Antonius, the
founder.
This provision was written into
the constitution Of the hospice as
sociation because Washington is
the capital of the nation and it
was felt that to have Washing
tonians at its head would give the
project something of the stamp Of
officialdon1. Another reason was
that the passport division Of the
State Department il located here.
and with hospice headquarters here
too, directors of the organization
would be able to keep in touch
with those desiring to visit the
Holy Land.
To guarantee the maintenance Of
the non-sectarian character Of the
project. the constitution provides
that the president Of the association
shall always be a layman. Rep
resentatives of the Catholic, Protes-
tant and Jewish clergy are mem
bers of the board Of directors, but
it was felt that for a clergyman
to head the organization might
give it an aspect OF religious dom.
nance that might hurt the project.
Erection of the $4,000 hospice
on Mt. Carmel will be facilitated
greatly by donations Of building
materials by prominent business
men. The first donation OF this
character il the pledge Of a promi-
nent resident OF the Near East to
construct a tramway from the
water front at Haifa, Palestine, up
the slope of Mt. Carmel to the hos
pice, 500 feet above the Mediter-
ranean, thus affording tourists a
means Of easy access.

TWO REPUBLICANS; FOUR
DEMOCRATS In THE FIELD
For Congressional Nomination
In This District.

The closing date for filing nomina-
ton papers for Congress and dele
gates to the State conventions was
last Monday at midnight, up to which
time three Republican aspirants and
four members of the opposing party
for the Congressional nomination had
placed their papers in the hands of
the Boards of Election Supervisors of
the various counties making up the
Sixth Congressional District, while
but two Democrats and seven Repub-
licans had filed their papers in the
office of the local Supervisors for del
egates to the Democratic and Repub-
lican State conventions, respectively
The Republican candidates are as
follows:
For Congress, Frederick N. Zihl-
man, of Allegany county; Joseph w.
Wolfinger, of Washington county, and
Thomas Dawson, of Montgomery
county.
For delegates to the State Conven-
ton, Charless A. Ashby, Ralph 7.
Thayer, George Giessman, Harvey J.
ppclCHeI, w. "A. TIdley, y. w. w nor
ton and Henry Lauer.
The Democratic nomination papers
contain the names of the following:
For Congress, Daniel C. Winebren-
ner, of Frederick county; Andrew j.
Cummings, of Montgomery county;
Thomas w. Koon, of Allegany county,
and Frank w. Mish, of Washington
county.
At the election to be held on May
9Th the Republicans as well as the
Democrats will have an opportunity
to select their candidate for Congress,
and the Republicans, unless some of
those who have filed their papers see
fit to withdraw them, will likewise
have the opportunity of selecting four
of the seven candidates who are now
in the field.
What is unusual is the fact that
almost every year when the Demo-
Gratis hold a State convention con-
test is staged and bloodless fight is
carried on. This year, however, is an
exception and no contest will occur.
In the convention the county will be
represented by but two delegates, Mr..
William Miller and Senator John W.
Mccullough, they being the only ones
who filed their papers with the cleo
ton officials.

w. Dawson and Donald R. Sincell, ac-
companied by Mr.. C. S. Johnson, chief
clerk of the General Construction
Corporation, were guests of that COM
pany at their camp near Oakland on
last Friday. Going to the camp in
less than an hour after leaving Oak
land the party was met there by Mr..
Verne Clawson, general superinten-
dent, who conducted the visitors on a
tour of inspection over the entire de-
velopment, which, needless to say, was
of the utmost interest to the guests
who found that many wonderful
things had been accomplished in the
work that they had little dreamed of.
1t was also apparent that the en-
ployes were well taken care of and
upon asking many of the men picked
at random whether or not they were
satisfied with conditions existing they
received hearty reply in the affirm
ative. No special preparation had
been made to entertain the visitors
but they received a splendid whole
some dinner, which was enjoyed to the
utmost.
