SEES BANNER
OYSTER SEASON
Earle Thinks Illinois Probe
Convinced Country Mary
land Bivalve Is Pure.

State Conservation Commissioner
Swepson Earle anticipates a banner
oyster season next winter, in spite OF
reports of typhoid fever danger il
oysters which, during the past winter
practically ruined the Maryland oys
ter business.
Maryland oysters received a clear
bill of health after Investigations BY
Chicago and Illinois officials, an6
therefore consumers throughout the
country should be convinced of their
purity" Mr.. Earle declared.
Surveys by the United States Pub,
lie Health Service have served to pre-
vent dredging of oysters from polluted
waters and assured the purity ane
Of all oysters placed
on the market Oyster consumption
will undoubtedly be stimulated by the
rigid supervision which assures purity
of the food" he said.
Mr.. Earle said he is more inter
ested in the supply than the demand
Fearing depletion of the Maryland
supply, he is planning to remove oys
tiers from bars in the upper part OF
the Chesapeake Bay, where they
might be killed by fresh water 0
spring foods, to bars farther down
the bay.
Removing of oysters from Hodges
bar and other sections in the upper
bay will be started within several
weeks. Mr.. Earle said. These oys
tiers will be removed to the Hog Island
acreage, near the mouth of the Pa.
tuxent river, which will be extended
from lao to 500 acres.
This work will be completed by
May when the 1925 shell planting
program will be started, according to
Mr.. Earle.

Richie Calls Conference For Plans
State officials will meet with Gov
ernor Richie Wednesday to consider
the recent U. S. supreme court deci-
sion knocking out state control of in
terstate bus lines.
The meeting will be at Ritchie's
office in the Union Trust Building.
Plans will be laid to Offset the effect
of the decision.
1t is now believed by state officials
that while the decision throws Mary
land roads wide open to bus opera
tors, particularly between Baltimore,
Washington and Philadelphia, state
revenues will not be affected.
The supreme court, it is pointed out,
decided just week before the Mary
land decision that a proper state
license or permit tax could be levied
ON interstate buses in a Michigan
case.
1t was at first feared the effect
would be, to throw Maryland roads
open, virtually tax-free, and lose the
state thousands of dollars year.
Public service commission members,
State Roads Commissioner Mackall
and Auto Commissioner Baughman
are among those who will meet with
Richie.

Easton And Queen Anne Road PIanne

Easton. A State road, connecting
Easton with Queen Anne, will be built
in the near future. This week survey
ors were at work on the route from
Cordeva to Queen Anne, distance of
four miles. They were surveying a
route which ran most of the way par
allel to the railroad, but letter re-
ceived this week by the County Com
missioners stated that this will be
altered and the present highway will
be followed for part of the distance.
After leaving Cordova, the route
parallels the railroad track on the
west side until bridge on the rail-
road is reached. Here the road
strikes grade of two degrees, goes
under the bridge and follows route
to Moore's Mill, where it enters the
present thoroughfare. The road will
be of concrete, and work will begin
at once. About two miles will be
built this year.

Annapolis. The Anne Arundel
County Commissioners decided to di-
vert the county's entire proportion of
the lateral road funds for this year
toward completion of the National De-
tense Highway between Annapolis
and Washington. The State Roads
Commission already has given assur-
ance that it will abide by the recon-
mendation of the county authorities in
the matter.
The action means completion of this
artery of traffic two years earlier than
planned originally. The county's lat
eral road fund this year will be about
$4,000. and the Federal post road
funds will amount to about the same.
The highway will cut the distance be-
tween Annapolis and Washington by
about IL Miles

Rob Woman And Girl.

Hagerstown.-Posing as prohibition
enforcement agents who had come to
search the house, two armed robbers
forced their way into the home of Mrs.
Arthur Coombs here, held the woman
and her 14-year-old daughter prisoners,
and escaped with eight diamond rings,
valued at $4,000.
The girl attempted to escape when
the robber, who had remained to guard
the victims while his confederate ram
sacked the upper floors walked into
an adjacent room. She was caught
trying to slide through the doorway
and threatened with death.
Mrs. Coombs was summoned to the
door by knock and when she opened
1t was pushed aside by the two men,
WHO told her they were dry agents and
wanted to search the house. They ex-
hibited badges and drew pistols. While
the one remained on the first floor
with the woman and her daughter. the
other robber went to the second floor,
where he got the jewelry.
When the men left the house they
told Mrs. Coombs that they would re-
turn to resume their, search for the
whisky. 1t was few minutes later
that the woman discovered the loss of
the jewelry.

Investigation of alleged delays in the
service between New Freedom and
Parkton on the Northern Central Rail
road is being made by engineering rep.
resentatives of the Public Service
Commission.
The investigation was instigatsd on
complaints from patrons of the rail
road, recently made to the commission.
Complaints were received from Sarah
A. Williams and Ozella G. Carr, of
Freeland, that delays of an hour and
more were caused by sidetracking
local trains to allow operation of ex-

State Directors Relieved OF Duty.

The duties of Edmund Budnitz.
Maryland Prohibition Director, will be
confined to issuing and supervising
permits and making drug store inspec-
tions, under new plan of prohibition
enforcement announced in Washington
by Roy A. Haynes, Prohibition Com
missioner.
The plan contemplates placing E. c.
Yellowly in charge of all general pro-
hibition agents, in order that they may
be shifted from one part of the country
to another as soon as they become
known in one locality.
Mr.. Budnitz and other State direct
ors will retain staff sufficient for the
routine drug store inspections and per-
mits.
The new plan will be put into opera
ton gradually, it was said, until all
agents are responsible directly to Mr..
Yellowly and working directly under
his orders. Mr.. Haynes said the sys-
tenn has been tried successfully in
Pennsylvania, New York and Cali
fornia, before it was decided to extend
it to national proportions. He asserted
the new method of attack against
bootleggers would be much more eff
fective than any previous campaign.

OYSTER BAN
IS LIFTED
Order Made Effective After
Capital Farley Adopts
National Purity Plan.

The ban against eating raw oysters
In Illinois, which caused the ruinous
''scare" of the last six weeks, has
been lifted
The announcement was made in
Springfield, ILL.,, by DR.. Isaac d. Raw
lings, directors of the Board Of Health
of Illinois, following news from Wash
ington that national oyster confer
ence had adopted a plan insuring the
purity of the oyster supply.
Although oysters were declared not
a factor in the spread of typhoid fever
plans for certification of the bivalves
similar to Federal stamping of meats
and dairy foods had been adopted by
health officers from 20 State who met
in Washington with representatives of
the industry and Public Health Off
Gals.
Two Baltimoreans were appointed
to the national committee of seven to
draA sational regulation of the in
dustrS They are DR.. w. H. Frost, OF
the Public Health Service and Johns
Hopkins University, and William H
Killian, president of the National AS
ISOLATION of OYSTER Dealers.
Other men GERS are Lewis Radcliffe
Federal Bureau of Fisheries; w. S
Frisbie, Bureau of Chemistry; William
H. Ray, of Boston, and v. S. Michel
of New Orleans.
The conference was called by Sur
geon General Hugh S. Cumming II
considered methods to insure protec
ton and sanitary conditions of all
shellfish.
The statement that oysters were
mot guisty" in the recent oyster scare
which paralyzed the industry was
made by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Wadsworth. He said:
Il am glad to say careful study by
the Public Health Service reveals
since December 20 oysters have moi
contributed any unusual factor toward
spread of typhoid. Public confidence
has begun to return and undoubtedly
will be restored entirely"
The statement Of Dr. Cumming was
even stronger. He said:
"Oysters and other sea foods are
safer now than they have been fol
years. AS a result of the recent scare
local agencies and the industry are
safeguarding sea food in every way
When the resolutions adopted are eff
fective, general scares will not harper
because oysters will be traced to theil
source and the contamination local
lied"
A definite system of stamping con
tainers of oysters with numerals ant
letters, designating the beds and pack
ing plants from which they came, will
be adopted to make possible the trac
ing of all shipments from their frs
source to the plate of the consumer.
The plans further call for inspection
of oyster beds and water sheds, inspec
ton of shocking, transportation, dis
| play and storage, and the setting III
of minimum meteorological "score'
beyond which oysters will be consid
cred unsafe as food.

1t is reported the syndicate also will
try to buy the Hotel Chateau property
adjoining the State lot.
General Reckord announced that the
100000 necessary to carry out the
armory program will be made up of
the $350,000 price for the lot and a
$250,O00 bond issue by the Legislature
of 1924
The construction program, approved
by Governor Ritchie, includes new
armories in Hagerstown and Cumber-
land, to cost $4,000 each; new ar
mories in Centreville, Silver Springs,
Crisfield Easton and Kensington, to

Big GREEN IS TOO
FAST FOR kENTS
HILL, SCORE 1872

Hebron, Oct. 30.-Hebron Acad-
envy today defeated Kent's Hill IL to
. in a game featured by the re-
markable playing of jeremiah, big
Green quarterback. Though Hebron
held the advantage from the start.
the fighting Hilltop crew held brill
liantly throughout and in the open
ing period stopped the visitors on
the goal line.
Long gains at apparently safe mo-
ments enabled the Hebron cluster to
win. In the second period the. in
vaders suddenly pulled two long
dashes and profiting by a 15-yard
penalty imposed upon kent's Hill
for holding, crossed for the first
touchdown. jeremiah scored He
bron's second touchdown in the same
surprising manner, racing back a
cross the field for 40 yards to score
after receiving a K. H. punt in the
third period.
With the exception of these three
unexpected gains, Kent's Hill played
the Green crew very nearly even.
Hebron carried the ball down to the
goal posts in the opening quarter
only to be stopped dead by the
Kent's Hill defense and in the sec
ond period blocked two Hebron
punts successfully to make their only
points on a safety. The last half
was see-saw affair interrupted only
by Jeremiah's scoring run in the
third chapter.
The game was fast and clearly
played throughout, with Spierbowis
sharing konors with jeremiah for
Hebron as outstanding stars, while
Koran at tackle and Miller at center
starred for Kent's Hill.

and two laps ahead of Earl Cooper.
The little Brooklyn racer drove the
entire distance himself without a stop,
taking the lead at the halfway mark
and holding it to the end, except for
half lap when Cooper passed him in
a thrilling squirt. DePaolo regained
the lead with cool dash down from
the rim of the track on the next turn.
Less than so yards separated the rae
ers for nearly so miles.
Only eight of the 16 starters finish
ed. Engine and tire trouble drove half
the field into the pits. Tommy Milton,

BATES PUTS OUT
B0WD0|N AND TIES
WITH COLBY MULE

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 31--Bowdoin
was definitely put out Of the running
as contender for the football cham
pionship Of Maine this afternoon
when the team was defeated by Bates
on Whittier Field, to 6.
Flukes figured prominently in the
game this afternoon. Bates should
have scored in the first period when
Ray made a forward pass to Sinclair
who received the ball on the 20-yard
line only to drop 1t as he turned to
run. Sinclair had an absolutely clear
field ahead Of him.
Only minute later Ray. punted
and Harrington receiving the ball on
the 25-yard line ran rs for a touch
down.
He failed to kick the goal however
the ball striking one of the uprights
and bounding back into the field.
In the final period Bates advanced
the ball to the 10 yard line only to be
held for downs. Then Olmstead in
tercepted a Bates forward pass and
it looked as though Bowdoin might
score another touchdown but on the
35-yard Inc harrington fumbled the
ball during criss cross and, Selling
the opportunity, Bates started an air
attack which resulted in touch
down. The final pass was made by
Ray from the 30-yard line to Sinclair
who received the ball on the 18-yard
line and ran the remaining distance
crossing the line at the extreme edge
of the field. He scored the winning
point by a pretty drop kick.
About 1000 saw the contest, of

Rockland 80; Camden :

Camden, Oct. 31.-The Rockland
High High football series
opened here today with a decisive 30
to Z win for Rockland.
The visiting team depended upon
it's weight and old time line bucking
for all of it's gains. The game was
featureless as far as long runs went
by either side. Trafton's gains off
tackle being the longest runs.
Camden put up stiff defense, but
was crippled through loss of players
and was outclassed. Her overhead
plays were broken up and most of
t.. Thomas puntS were blocked.
Plaisted and Thomas were Camden's
most efficient men; McLoon, traitor
and F'rohock did Rockland's best
work with Trafton chief grounds
gamer. Camden's thirG period rally
failed to net more than one touch
down,
