The annual Sunday school conven-
ton of Garrett county will be held in
St. Paurs NJ. E. church in Oakland,

The convention will open on Mon

full of good things for the Sunday

provided in the reorganization p'aLs
laid last winter and from present in
dications practically every school in
the county will have reported before

his staff of officers, are very anxious
that there shall be a representative
delegation from every school ii the

take the matter up with their schools
at once and set in motion the move
ment that will lead to a great county

FISH LADDER ON STORAGE
DAM ORDERED IN PLACE
State Commission Orders Con-
struction Of Such On The
Savage River

The State Game Commission Of the
State Of Maryland has ordered the
officials Of Wes5crnport to pu. a fish
ladder at their storage dam on Savage
I.,s er il this county, and the mayor
and commissioners Of that municipal
ity have turned the instructions over
to the water superintendent to be car
ried out.
These orders came as the aftermath
Of the dynamiting which occurred at
the dam about six weeks ago. Z. Lee
LeCompte, State Game Warden, gave
an opinion that the absence Of a fish
ladder was one Of the contributing
causes that prompted the dynamiting
Of the dam.
The State law on fish ladders is as
follows:
Every owner of dam or dams
upon any of the waters of this State
is hereby required to make and keep
in repair, or cause to be made and
kept in repair, and placed upon said
dam at least one fish ladder Of such
character as to enable the fish to have
free course up and down said waters
at all times"

iff Guy o. Yutzy, who was called to
Friendsville following an automobile
accident in which the car driven by
one of the men was in collision with
the automobile of Mr.. L. f. Friend,

The two men. Burkholder and Holli-
day, were brought to Oakland by the

for their appearance before Justice
West on Tuesday at which time they
appeared for a hearing The charges
against them were sale and posses
sion of intoXicants and driving an au-
tomobile while under the influence of

jail for thirty days for operating his
car while drunk. An appeal was tax
en- and failing to furnish bond in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the
December Term of the Circuit Court,

lowing his arrest by Federal Agents

impossible to locate unless by chance
one walked onto it.

BANDITS KID
HIM OUT Of
$4,000
Police Probe Report of Theft
Made by w. Rosendorf,
G Street Furrier

Police are investigating the
story told them by William Rosen-
dorf, importer of furs, that two
clever stick-up men painlessly
extracted $500 from him in his
store, at 1915 G. street northwest
last night.
While hundreds of office
workers were passing the G street

dorf, robbed him of $500, then
said they were only kidding, and
apparently gave him the money
back again, he told police.

According to the story told by
the fur importer to detectives two
hours after the hold-up is said to

of whom he had previously known
one as prospective employee and
the other as wholesale furrier,
came into his store about O'clock
last night with levelled guns and
demanded money which he WAS

Senator Copeland viii Cues
ton Legality Of Grant
Given to w. r. E. Co.

Senator Royal S. Copeland d
New York today gave notice that
when the voluntary merger bill
comes up in the Senate Friday
night he win attack the legality
of che Public Utilities Commits
sion's granting bus franchises to
the street railway companies here.
81 think it is an outrage that
the Public Utilities Commission
has just denied crosstown bus
privilege to the Washington Rapid
Transit Company and granted one
to the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. / think it is
high time that the members OF
the Public Utilities Commission
begin to act in the interests OF
the good citizens of this city.
Legality Is Questioned.
There is a serious question in
act and I expect to press my reso'
luton which calls upon them Ia
show by what authority they have
permitted the street car company
to run buses as feeders to their
system.
las I understand 1t, the street
railway companies are incorporated
to run cars on tracks. know Of a
case out West where railroad
was incorporated and afterwards
decided it wanted to run steam
boats and excursions in connection
with it's system. The courts told
them they had no right to run
steamboats,, and / think the courts
would say the street car systems
here have no right to run buses.
Senator Copeland said that the
bus lines were purposely omitted
from his voluntary merger bill IN
order to guarantee an active com.
petition between the street railways
and the bus lines. He said that
the future transportation in cities
will be buses and that as soon as
this city realizes this fact and en-
courages bus lines the people will
be better served.
1t was made plain by Senator
Copeland that he would not counte-
nance bus lines running parallel
with street railway systems, but
there is plenty of fields for the
buses to serve without taking pas.
sengers from the street car lines.
Praise for Bus Line
He further said that the street
car lines, 4 they want to meet the
competition of the buses. must i'm
prove their service. and as soon
as they realize this the better 1t
will be for the city.
Senator Copeland took occasion
to praise the buses of the Washing.
ton Rapid Transit Line and said
that he was satisfied they were
rendering first-class service.
"It is a wonder" Senator Cope
land said in conclusion, that the
members of the Public Utilities
Commission would not take pains
to study the trend Of transporta-
ton in other cities and govern them.

Gas PRICES RISE
DESPITE OIL
SURPLUS
Present Situation Foreshad-
owed at Petroleum Insti-
tute Meeting
By JONATHAN WICKwIRE.

Dealers appearing yesterday be-
fore the House committee investi-
eating the scent rise in gasoline
prices here during the past few
weeks were unanimous in citing
the 1924 decrease in crude oil pro-
duction as one of the reasons. If
not the principal one, for the boost.
Evidencing the scepticism of COM
mittee members, Congressman Zihl-
man announced today that Interior
Department officials would be called
before the committee to testify as
to the facts. The preliminary re-
port of the Geological Survey, De-
partment Of the Interior, as noted
by this writer exclusively in The
Washington Times of February 2,
indicates, indeed. a falling off in
crude oil production from 1872. 900. 900
barrels In 1923 to 714.000, 900 bar
rels in 1924. But this report is
tentative and its final revision, due
in March, almost surely will show
a higher total, probably closely ap-
preaching the production of the pre-
vious year.
No Danger of Shortage.
Furthermore. while this prelim-
mary report shows decreased pro-
duction, 1t also shows that pipeline
and tank farm stocks on December
%. 1924, were $50, $4,000 barrels,
as compared with 3S4>774,00O bar
rels at the close of 1898, a gain of
Is, 900. 900 barrels. Also, stocks at
refineries had increased during the
same period from 3S,012.005 bar
rels to 40, 403.S97 barrels, or 7,000,-
900 barrels. Together. reserve stocks
during the year increased approx
mateiy 25,oOo,oo0 barrels. so that
clearly no imminent danger of a
1lortage exists.
REPORTS of the hearing yesterday
indicate that committee members
were astonished by the testimony
of the Penn Oil Company manager
that he fixed his prices here by
consulting the postings at the
