REASSESSMENT TO BE
MADE DURING THE YEAR
Actual Work Will Commence
The Latter Part of July-As-
SCISSORS Named Later

Following the close of the General
Assembly on Monday, the 18th inst,
when a Statewide Bill which would
have doubled the period of time be-
tween assessments of all real and
personal property, failed in its pas
sage, the State Tax Commission of
Maryland issued instructions to the
County Commissioners throughout
the State to proceed in the re-assess-
ment in the usual manner.
1t is the law and custom for the
County Commissioners to include in
the Levy every five years sufficient
funds to make a re-assess ment of
real and personal property in the
counties, and had the Bill referred to
passed the General Assembly the re-
assessment would not have been made
this year, but instead would have been
postponed until 1882. Had the recent
Bill become law the re-assessments
would have occurred every ten years.
The Commission for Garrett county
will make provision for the assess
ment at their meeting next Monday
and assessors for the several districts
will be appointed at later date. The
actual work will get under way prob
ably the latter part of July.

AUTO WRECKED ON WASH
INGTON SPRING CROSSING
Andrew Shartzer Escaped Ser
iOus Injury But Car Was
Badly Damaged

What might have been a more SER
ious accident, resulted only in a
slight scalp wound and a badly
damaged Ford coupe, when Andrew
Shartzer was caught on the Washing
ton Spring crossing of the Baltimore
G. Ohio Railroad tracks on Monday.
Approaching the crossing, which is
located about half mile west of the
B. & o. Station here, Mr.. STARTERS
view of the railroad was INSTRUCTED by
a string of box cars standing along
the siding and after crossing the
west bound tracks was struck by an
east bound freight train.
His car was hurled to the side of
the tracks and after turning over
rested against a pole which supports
an electric warning bell along the
right Of way.
Mr.. Shartzer suffered slight
wound and was otherwise shaken up,
but fortunately no serious injury re-
suited. The car was damaged to the
extent of about 1925, so it was said at
the Evans Garage where it was taken
for repairs.
Mr.. Shartzer stated that the auto
matte bell which rings to warn people
of approaching trains was out of COM
mission, and due to the cars standing
along the siding, which INSTRUCTED his
view, he was unaware of the ap-
preaching freight until it hit his car.
The impact came about the centre of
the automobile.
DR.. Henry W. McComas dressed
Mr.. STARTERS wounds and sent him
to his home for the day.

DEER PARK HOTEL HEAD
SUED FOR 500, 600
Claimed He Sold A Florida
Hotel Under False Repre-
SentatiOn

Henry S. Duncan, President of the
Duncan Hotels Company and owner
of the Hotel Continental, New York
City, was sued in the Supreme Court
yesterday for 100000 damages by
Victor Jacoby for alleged false rep
reservations in the sale of a ninety
nine year lease of the Royal Palm
Hotel at st. Petersburg, Florida, and
of mortgage on real estate at Lake
Butler, Florida, which the plaintiff
alleges could not be disposed of by
Duncan when they were sold to
Jacoby.
Mr.. Duncan is alleged to have had
his dealings with the plaitiff in De-
cember, 1925. The complaint says Mr..
Duncan represented that the Duncan
Hotels Company had ninety-nine
year lease on the Royal Palm dating
from July 4, 1924, and that there were
no membranes except the lease of
the restaurant privilege, and also
owned an interest in a first mortgage
on Lake Butler property given to
secure a note for $4,000, as a result
of which assertions Jacoby agreed to
pay SS5, 900 for them.
Jacoby says the representations
were false in that taxes on the Royal
Palm Hotel were unpaid, and the lease
had already been conveyed to the
Peoples Bank and Trust Company of
St. Petersburg, whereas the Lake
Butler mortgage had been assigned
to another corporation for advances.
The plaintiff asks for the $4,000 and
$4,000 lost profits.
The Duncan Company has been OPP

Accident And Kitzmiller Listed
Among Chautauqua Towns

Nellie Taylor Ross, Americas first
woman governor, sees a wonderful
opportunity for women to express
themselves" through The National
Community Foundations plan for
popular education and cultural ad-
vancement. The former woman gov
ernor of Wyoming made this state
ment in letter received here today
by Paul M. Pearson, trustee of the
Foundation, in which she said:
"The biggest thing any woman can
do for her community is to make it
better place in which to live and bring
up children"
The Foundations plan aims to do
this, it was explained, by seeking
$5,000.00 endowment. Part of the in
come will be used for an all-year
Junior Town organization for children
in the Swarthmore Chautauqua
towns, of which Kitzmiller and Acct
dent are two. The remainder of the
income will be applied to build up the
Chautauqua programs and to main
tain all-year extension activities for
local community benefit and advance
ment.
GAS I read the plan of The Nation
al Community Foundation" Mrs.
Ross said, 81 am impressed with what
wonderful opportunity this plan
offers to the people in the Swarth-
more Chautauqua towns. If they rise
to support it, as l believe they will,
they certainly will win the admiration
of other towns and the aid of those
philanthropists whose money can help
build this vision into glorious real
ity.
"As a woman, I cannot but think
first of what this plan can mean to
the women and what they can mean to
it. They can make it live. They can
make it splendid medium through
which to express themselves"
AS SONeTIlOT Ol WyOiHiilS, MIS-
Ross established reputation as one
of the most competent state execu-
tives in the United States. Her work
attracted the attention of leading
women throughout the world and
lady Nancy Aston, the. American
= born woman who was the first of her
sex to be elected to the British Parlia-
ment, singled out Mrs. Ross as an out
standing example of competent and
brilliant woman in public life.
Mrs. Ross expressed particular in
terest in the Foundations plan be-
cause it's ultimate aim is national and
its success in the towns where it is
first begun, she believes, will make
them pioneers in the opening Of a new
era in the progress of democracy.

"HERIFF AND AGENTS CAP
TURED TWO SINNERS"
Youngest Manufacturer To Be
Caught Was Brought In Last
Night

Sheriff William D. Casteel and
Deputy Griffith, accompanied by Pro-
hibition Enforcement Officers Stotler,
Darr, Coleman, Darl and Jack, re-
turned from Bear Hill section last
night after conducting two raids
there yesterday and brought with
them one of their captives, Alfred Bit
finger, a lad of Is years, and who
is, according to records, the youngest
moonshiner apprehended in this Sec
ton of the country.
Alfred stated upon capture that he
had been in the business more than a
year, but had discontinued operations
for part of that time because one of
his customers had stolen his entire
output one night. He said that this
customer had purchased a quantity of
liquor from him during that day and
had seen him (Alfred) take the liquor
from the hiding place, and accordingly
that night the customer returned
and made away with all of his goods.
This loss discouraged the young dis
tiller and he closed his distillery until
recently.
Young Bittinger is in the County
Jail in default of 900 bond to await
the action of the Grand Jury.
Another captive yesterday was in
the person Of Clarence Swauger, aged
"a years, who resides on the John
Swauger farm between Bittinger and
Jennings.
Swauger was in possession of a As
gallon still and five barrels of mash.
The mash was found in a manure pile,
where Swauger had placed it for the
purpose of speeding the. fermentation.
Swauger was taken before Justice
of thePeace J. B. Emory, at Bittinger,
and was released on $500 bond for his
appearance at the June term of Court.
Bittinger had in his possession Is
gallons of moonshine liquor and a
coil and still cap.

SEEING PHONE DEMON
STRATION IS SUCCESSFUL
Herbert Hoover, Speaking In
Washington, Seen and Heard
In New York, 200 Miles Away

Visions of a person, at home wit
Messing and hearing events miles dis
tant were step nearer realization
last Friday. Demonstration of tele-
vision process by which Herbert
Hoover, speaking in Washington, was
seen and heard in New York, 200
miles away, was hailed by Walter s..
Clifford, president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
with confidence chat in many ways
and in due time it will be found to add
substantially to human comfort and
happiness"
Invention Made Rapid Progress.
Some idea of the possibility of the
practical use of television in the near
future was given, however, by the
statement of DR.. Frank B. Jewett,
vice president of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, that
television was further advanced now
than was transatlantic telephony
when first demonstrated in 1915, IL
years before it was put into CONNER
cial use.
DR.. C. G. Abbot, acting secretary
of the Smithsonian Institute, who has
been closely identified with many
scientific projects, spoke over the APP
paratus from Washington and said
"that in so years there may be other
developments needing no apparatus
whatever, by means of which human
thought may be transmitted at the
will of the sender by the process
which now we dimly recognize as
telegraphy."
The television demonstration, stag
ed at the laboratories of the telephone
company Friday was far in advance
of the progress claimed for any other
invention in the same field.
Invented By ScOtchman.
The work of John L. Baird, the
Scotch inventor, who has been con-
sidered leader in television research,
is said to be less complete than that
of the Bell System. E. F. w. Alex
anderson of the Radio Corporation of
America has a television project
which is still being developed.
The moving likeness Of Secretary
Hoover and the radio performers
shot over wires and flashed through
the ether-were seen on a rectangu-
lar screen, the size of cigar box,
and later reflected on a screen in full
view of group of scientists, electro
cal technicians and others.
The demonstration was the result
of years of research and experimental
ton, starting with the invention of
the telephone by Alexander Graham
Bell, half century ago.
Basic Principles of Invention.
The basic principles of television
are similar to those of the telephone.
Like telephone instruments, electric
ally sensitive to sound, the television
details are sensitive to light.
The subject, as he talks, is scanned
by three great photo electric eyes, the
largest photo-electric cells ever built.
The impression made on these cells
are transmitted into varying intensi-
ties of electric current and carried
over wire or wave lengths to the
receiving end where machines revise
the varying current back into light
and shade. The result is rerroduc-
ton Of the picture scanned by the
electric eyes.
