BOWLING LEAGUE COMES
TO CLOSE TUESDAY
Methodist Team Proclaimed
Winners

Monday evening brought to close
the activities of the Bowling League
at the Recreation bowling alleys when
the Methodists were proclaimed the
winners of the contests which have
been played since the first day of Feb
ruary.
Excepting a recess during Holy
Week, which was unanimously decided
upon by the teams in the League, the
games have been played every Tues
day and Thursday evenings for more
than three months.
The League was organized for the
expressed purpose of promoting a
stronger fraternal feeling between the
organizations represented in the line
up, and a very good fellowship and
spirit was very pronounced from the
beginning until the end.
The Methodists proved more skill
full with the ball and rolled up high
err score than any other contenders
for the championship. Even from the
beginning the Methodists were looked
upon as the winners.
The following score was attained

MANY APPEAR FOR TRIAL
FIND COURT CALLED OFF
Persons Under Bond Journey To
Cumberland In Vain

A number of persons who had given
bond for appearance at the spring
term of the United States Court in
Cumberland, the second Monday in
May, reported Monday morning not
knowing the session had been called
off, it is said because of lack of funds
with which to meet its expenses, due
to the killing of the appropriation bill
by the Senate flibuster.
Alleged violators of the Volstead
act from Hancock and points in Allie
gany and Garrett counties were on
hand to find all quiet about the Fed
eral Building and no evidence that
court would be held. 1t is understood
that the local officials recently re-
ceived official notice that court would
be called off.
The bonds of the accused hold good
until trial takes place. 1t has been
thought that one of the United States
judges would be there to act in cases
where pleas of guilty would be en-
tered. Some of the cases may be dis
posed of in Baltimore before the fall
session of court there.

of his daughter, Mrs. w. L. Phillips,
Greenwood, Pa, following a stroke of
paralysis, which he suffered week

Mr.. Sollars is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Phillips; and by two
sons, DR.. E. E. Sollars, Of Deer Park,
and DR.. William Sollars, of Cumber

ward Fletcher, of Schuyler, Neb., and
Mrs. Elizabeth Kincaid, of Braddish,

II U. 5. PRISONERS NOW
IN GARRETT COUNTY JAIL
Number Committed to Various
County Prisons Now Exceeds
One Hundred

Fourteen Federal prisoners were
brought to the county Jail in Oakland
yesterday morning, the men in charge
of three guards arriving here at two
o'clock, the trip having been made in
a bus chartered by United States
Marshal George w. Collier for the
purpose, whose duty it is to find shell
ter and board for wards of the Gov
eminent sentenced in United States
District Court since the Jail Board in
Baltimore has refused to receive them
following dispute with the Govern
ment over the daily maintenance rate.
With the fourteen men brought to
Oakland the total of Federal prison.
ers committed to county penal instl-
buttons numbers more than hundred.
The Cumberland Jail is said to be
filled and the prison at Hagerstown is
reported to be filled to capacity. There
is still room for more at the Jail at
Ellicott City, it is said, but this in
stitution is being held in reserve for
what is termed temporary emer-
gency" use.
Deputies Voice Objections.
Just what the Government is doing
to make peace with the Jail Board
could not be learned. Federal officials
in Baltimore have asserted that they
are in the dark on the subject. The
only objection has been voiced by Mr..
Golfers deputies, who must accom-
pany the prisoners on their trips to
county jails. "To go from here to
Cumberland or Oakland means trip
of several hours and consequent loss
of sleep"
The strain, they say, is being felt
and they are beginning to complain.
