The watermelon market is recovering
from the slump of last week, captains
of bay vessels here with melons said
yesterday. The prediction was made
that the market will be brisk, with fair
prices, all this week.
The slump was attributed to large
shipments from Southern states and
crops in several sections maturing at
the same time.
Yesterday there were sixteen bay
vessels in the harbor with water
melons and business was fair. Select

W., B. & A. TO LIMIT
BUSES TO FEEDERS
Will Not Start Line to Baltimore
Over Pike-Present Traffic
Is Handled Properly.

The Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railroad Co. will not
install any motor bus equipment for
use on the Washington boulevard be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, it
was officially announced today by
George t. Bishop, president of the
company.
The definite decision was reached,
Mr.. Bishop said, after an extensive
survey of traffic conditions between
Baltimore and Washington and a first
hand study by w. B. & A officials of
interurban motor bus transportation
in a number of cities of the East and
Middle West"
This decision, however, Mr. Bishop
continued, applies only to the pro-
posed motor bus trunk line between
Baltimore and Washington. 1T does
not mean" he said, that we have dis
carded the idea of using motor busses
to supplement our regular train serv-
Ice. On the contrary, we expect to
install motor busSeS as feeders to our
railroad lines wherever public conven-
fence requires them"
Mr.. Bishop said it is "quite evident"
that motor bus line between Balti-
more and Washington would be
operated at loss. He also said the
volume of passenger traffic between
Baltimore and Washington is fre.
quently overestimated and that a care
ful survey of traffic conditions shows
that the public demand is more than
adequately served by the existing
lines of travel. There are 23O trains
every day between Baltimore and
Washington and on Sundays there are
222. These include the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, the Pennsylvania rail-
road and the w. B. & A, Mr.. Bishop
said.

fANNAPOLIS, Md. April 2z.-Pat-
rick ]. Haltigan, reading clerk of the
House of Representatives retired from
the leadership of the Baltimore Arch
diocesan Union of the Holy Name So
ciety after four years as it's president,
at the fourteenth annual convention
of the organization yesterday.
Mr.. Haltigan, who received the dis
tinction OF papal knighthood for his
work in organizing the Holy Name
demonstration of last September, was
succeeded by Mark +. Althoff. presi-
dent for the last five years of the Bal
timore section of the ArchdioceaSan
Onion.
The convention took place in St.
Mays Hall, and about 1000 persons
attended. Prior to the opening of the
CONVENTION In the afternoon special
solemn high mass was held at st.
Msry's Church in the morning. About
500 midshipmen from the Naval Acad-
Smy and members of the Holy Name
Society there attended the mass in a
body.
Governor Honor Guest.
Gov. Ritchfe of Maryland was the
speaker. He spoke of the State of
Maryland as the home of religious
liberation in the United States. He
spoke of the child labor amendment
upon which the people of the State
would have to vote in 1927. He de-
clared that the people of Maryland
were quite able to decide for them
selves what laws should govern their
children without "any interference by
h,1r
Gov. Ritchie also spoke of the
States educational system, and while
he praised the public school system
he said it was only part of the
educational system of the State and
that parents had the right to decide
whether they wanted to send their
children to the public schools or the
parochial schools or any denomina-
tfonal school.
Mayor Charles w. Smith of An
napolis extended the freedom of the
city to the visitors and welcomed
them. Rev. NJ. ]. Ripple, national
director of the Holy Name Society ad-
dressed the meeting and urged the
spread of the society by ''eXemplifi-
cation" Since the demonstration in
last September 100 new branches have
been formed, he said.
Various Reports Read.
Reports were read by President
Frank Cunning and Secretary Mat
thew Noone of the Washington sec
ton; President Mark f. Althoff and
Secretary Leo L. Lanahan of the Bal
ttrnore section, President James L.
Mansfield and Secretary c. l.. Firlie
of the western Maryland section and
Secretary w. E. Seipp of the south
ern Maryland section.
The election turned the convention
into one of the most enthusiastic ever
held by the archdiocesan organiza-
tion. 1t was only by the insistence
of Patrick j. Haltigan that the honor
of the leadership should go to Balti-
more this time that he prevented his
own reelection. The southern Mary
land society presented Mr.. Haltigan
with a gold handled cane.
Plans will be taken up for the ex-
tension of the work of the organiza-
ton in the near future.

to be distasteful to the Northern and

of conservatism and progressivism. So
was John w. Davis, but the two fac
