HONOR COURT.
SUPP[ANTS
A R c H
Tobin Suggests Monument
Be Erected Opposite
Historic Alamo.

Abandoning plans for the proposed
memorial arch because they were not
practical, members of the Fiesta As
ISOLATION Wednesday received Mayor
John W. Tobin's endorsement of plans
to establish a court of honor to San
Antonio's war dead on the Alamo
Plaza park opposite the Alamo.
After submitting several plans for
the arch to the mayor, the fiesta
committee decided that an arch to
bridge East Crockett street where it
recently was extended through the
plaza would be too large and out of
proportion with surrounding build
ings.
SUGGESTS SITE.
Atlee b. Ayres, architect and one of
the committee, explained that he will
have an airplane view taken of the
plaza and then decide where the court
of honor, which will be in the shape
Of a half moon or circle, should be
located.
Mayor Tobin suggested that the
court be situated north Of the band
stand, facing the Alamo.
e. III. Kifer, John b. Darlington and
Ralph Durkee, the other three of the
committee, assured the mayor that
unds could be raised to construct the
court of honor.
Several San Antonio firms have
promised they will give materials for
the memorial, it was explained. There
are also other sources from which the
committee is sure an adequate sum
can be obtained.
Mr.. Kifer emphasized the fact they
did not propose to build the memorial
through public subscription. 81 feel
sure it won't be necessary" he re-
marked.
Mr.. Ayres will draw a plan of the
court and return it to Mayor Tobin
shortly.
The court will consist Of a line of
benches and pedestals, according to
present plans.
4 large memorial will be placed in
the center and smaller tablets and
busts of San Antonio war heroes on
each side.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Although the first unit, as outlined
by the committee, will cost less than
the arch, when the various memorials
have been AIDED it will be much more
magnificent than the span.
The Fiesta committee explained that
after the honor court is completed tie
various organizations both civic and
military, will be anxious to add some
thing to it.
Pointing out that several large
cities in the United States already
have constructed arches, the committee
explained that the court will be some.
thing different.
Not only the soldiers who gave their
lives in the Alamo and in the World
war, but everyone that has given his
life for the United States will be re
! membered in the court.

which is true.
We are taught that God made man
in his own image. There is no
doubt whatever that among pagan
peoples, primitive men have created
gods in THEIR own image, lending to
him their own hatreds, animosities,
vengeance, love of gold and silver,
fondness for the blood Of animals,

DO YOU REMEMBER

The fire engines appeared on the
street Saturday evening, June Ii,
Just as it began to rain, and to the
accompaniment of their changing
bells and screeching sirens paraded
the town. On one OF the engines
was large placard: :" Do You Re-
member This Day Four Years Ago"
1t was the anniversary OF the day
fire broke out in the center OF town
and bid fare to make clean sweep,
but with the assistance of fire ap-
paratus sent from other towns in
response to calls for aid, was finally
checked after it had taken toll OF
the Scott Wilson garage and dwell
ling and the M. E. church.
This was on Monday morning,
June 13, 1921.
Since that time, by the loyal as
sistance of this entire community, it
has been possible to place and house
here two pieces OF up-to-date fire
fighting apparatus, representing an
approximate outlay OF 1000, back
ed by an organization, ready to re-
spond to the call OF anyone, at any
time, on short notice, and affording
splendid fire protection, where four
years ago there was neither organi-
zation or efficient equipment.

SHADE TREES CAUSE
CONTROVERSY

A controversy has been raging
between citizens of Chestertown and
the electric light company as to the
right of the latter to despoil shade
trees in course of running electric
wires along the streets,
Headed by DR.. ]. 8. w. Jones,
dean of Washington College, a
petition was circulated and pre-
sented to the Town Commissioners
as well as to the local forestry
agent, Charles McCleary. Thes e
men thought some remedial action
should be taken up with the State
Forester. who states that the local
company has no right to trim trees
at random and must either erect
longer poles of not less than 40
feet, or run their wires elsewhere
than in the vicinity OF valuable shade
trees.
The State Forester has recently
toured the Eastern Shore, super
vising the planting of small pine
trees. Pine timber is very much
depleted in this section and the
Extension Service of the State
Bureau of Forestry is trying to
supplement this scarcity as rapidly
as possible.

ELECTRIC INTERESTS AT
ODDS

War for control of the electric
power situation in Maryland between
the super-power interests associated
with the General Electric Companq
and the j. e. Aldred interests, COM
prising the Consolidated Gas, Elec-
trio Light and Power Company and
the Pennsylvania Water and Power
Company will involve several rail-
road mergers and radical change
in the Maryland transportation
situation.
The plan of the super power in
terests associated with the General
Electric Company is said to be:
1-Combination of the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Rail-
way with the Maryland and Penn
syvania Railroad and extension OF
the latter into York, Pa, forming
through line from York to Washing
ton and Annapolis via Baltimore.
2-Electrification of the Maryland
and Pennsylvania Railroad, accom-
panied by rebuilding OF the road
to eliminate curves and reduce
grades.
3-Construction OF super-power
transmission lines from the proposed
hydro-electric plant at Conowingo to
the right of way OF the Maryland
and Pennsylvania Railroad and
thence along the right of way of the
combined roads to York, Annapolis
and Washington through Baltimore.
The Consolidated Gas and Electric
Company, OF Baltimore, and the
Northern Maryland Electric Com
pany are fighting to gain territory in
Hartford County.
Attorney General Thomas Ii.
Robinson has ruled that the Con-
solidated, by the original charter by
the Legislature to one OF its con-
stituent companies, has the right to
enter any county or municipality de-
spite the objections of any Board OF
County Commissioners or city gov
ernment. The Public Service Com
mission is the governing body OF
public utility companies.
The Northern Maryland Company
has filed a protest with the United
States Government, against permit
ting its contract with the Consoli-
dated at the Aberdeen Proving
Ground, without advertising for bids,
according to the Northern Maryland,
which is contrary to law. M M

CHESAPEAKE & DELAWARE
CANAL WORK

Within nine more months work
ON the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal, which the United States gov
ernment is making into tirst-class
waterway, at cost Of approximately
$9,OOO,OOO, will be completed, ac-
cording to an announcement made
by Colonel Earl 1. Brown, United
States Engineer in charge OF the
Wilmington district.
March l has been set as the date
for the completion of the task Col
onel Brown stated, and with that
end in view the work is being push
ed rapidly. Practically all of the
dredging has been completed, with
the exception of few banks where
bridges are to be torn out.
Colonel Brown stated that the
work to be done consists of finish
ing the new bridges which are now
under construction, tearing out the
present bridges and the roads lead
ing to them and clearing away the
old locks.
Practically all of the locks at St.
Georges have been cleared out, only
about one-third remaining. At Ches-
apeake City one lock has been COM
pletely removed and work on the
other started. No attention will be
given to the present locks at Della
ware City. The new entrance to the
canal is some distance south Of the
old entrance and the present locks
will be eliminated.
The Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal was taken over by the govern
ment in 1919, at cost OF $2,5OO,-
900. Work of widening and deep
ening the waterway was started, and
upon its completion, will amount to
$6,5OO,00O, making total OF
$9,OO0,00O.
Work on the bridge over the
canal at Summit is progressing
rapidly. The span of the bridge is
about 72 feet above the level OF the
water, and when raised, is about
14O feet above the water. This is
about five feet higher than the span
of the Brooklyn bridge.

STRUCK BY TRAIN

Two women driving a Dodge car,
enroute from Washington to Phila-
delphia, had a narrow escape on
Tuesday morning, about eleven
O'Clock, at the railroad crossing at
the S. M. Ward & Co. warehouse,
in this town.
Just as the milk train was ap-
preaching through the cut, the high
banks of which obstruct the view,
and despite the fact that the flag
man had taken his position, with
signal raised, on the opposite side OF
the track, the auto was driven upon
the track, directly in front OF the
oncoming train.
The driver of the car attempt tc
back it, but was unsuccessful, and
jumped just as the engine struck
the front wheel of the auto.
One of the women succeeded in
jumping out of harms way, but
the driver was carried along with
the auto and pushed to one side as
the car was jammed against the
Matchbox by the train.
The woman although, badly bruis-
ed and shocked, miraculously es-
capped serious injury. The auto was
badly wrecked but was put in run
ming shape at the nearby garage in
day or two, when the women re-
sumed their trip, apparently little
the worse for their thrilling ex-
perience and narrow escape from
death.
