ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC HAS
AIDED TWELVE in COUNTY
Crippled Children Have Received
Treatment in Baltimore Hos
pital Since May %.

Since the first orthopedic clinic in
Garrett county on May 20, when DR..
George Bennett, orthopedic specialist,
examined a number of cases at the
Court House in Oakland free of all
charges, twelve persons from the
county have been treated in Baltimore
hospitals, several of whom have
been practically cured of their trou-
bles and others greatly benefited.
Under the direction and help of
Miss Rhesa M. King, public health
nurse, the County Commissioners, the
Oakland Rotary Club and the Oakland
Civic Club, all these children who
were unable to pay their expenses to
Baltimore and return were helped by
a fund provided by these organiza-
tons. A benefit picture at the Mary
land Theatre also assisted in raising
a fund to care for the travelling eX-
penses.
Owing to the indecision on the part
Of the parents of several of these lit
tie cripples, there are still some in the
county who have not been cared for,
according to Miss King. When they
finally made up their minds to send
the children to Baltimore for treat
ment, the vacancies had already been
filled by children from other counties
of the State. AS soon as possible, it
is said, the remaining children of the
county will be taken care of in the
hospital and the schools in connec-
ton Herewith.
A feature of the children's hospital,
Miss King said yesterday, was that
school work and classes continued the
same as if the children were in the
public schools of the State.
Several Children Return.
Among those who received treat
ment and have returned to Garrett
county, are: Daley, Orville and Inez
Hershman, are now able to walk with
casts on their legs and were discharg-
ed from the institution as very much
improved; Fenton Platter, crippled leg
and foot, has been back twice since
June, greatly improved; Iva Klotz, Of
Grantsville, discharged as greatly i'm
proved about two weeks ago; Virgins
Duke, Oakland, improved greatly
Peter Lohr, Accident, now home, hanc
improved; Madison Tucker, Steyer
home since June, hand improved; Max.
inc Mason, Oakland, hip improved, anc
will return home this week; Marie
Schroyer, Friendsville, improved anc
will be able to walk in a year; Waite,
Wisseman, Grantsville, spine condi
ton, discharged as greatly improved

WEARING THOMAS, FORMER
0AKLANDLAWYER browns
Discovered In Sea At Point on
Shore Between New York and
BOstOn-POlice Puzzled.

A belated report of the drowning at
sea of Warning Thomas, former Oak
land lawyer, was recently received in
Oakland. Mr.. Thomas left here in the
year 1898 and for many years there
after his whereabouts were unknown,
even to his most intimate acquain-
tances.
The account of Mr. Thomas death
at sea appeared in the Baltimore Sum
under Boston (Mass.) date line, and
is as follows:
''The death of Warning Thomas, for
merly of St. Mary's county, Nd, and
an uncle of Edward M. Thomas, Of
Baltimore, is being investigated by
New York, Bristol, R. l.; Fall River,
Mass, and Boston police.
"Mr. Thomas died after being taken
from the water near Bristol eight
hours after a New York-Boston YES
sci, which reported in Boston with one
of her passengers, registered under
the name of Thomas, missing had
passed near the spot. The books of
the steamer showed that Mr.. Thomas
had engaged stateroom out of New
York for Boston the night preceding.
Stateroom Found Empty.
"When the steamship, the Provi-
dence, reached its destination, Mr..
Thomas stateroom was found to be
empty, but for some clothing, papers
and brief case The ploice are work.
ing on the theory that Mr.. Thomas
either jumped or fell from the ves-
sci.
"The Providence passed Bristol Fer
ry, about a mile from Mount Hope
Bay, early in the morning and about
eight hours later three boys who were
fishing, saw the man struggling to
keep afioat about 800 yards from the
shore of the bay. They summoned
Paul Herzig, captain of ferry boat,
who brought the unconscious man to
the shore. Efforts to resuscitate him
were unavailing.
whether Mr.. Thomas fell from the
steamer or jumped is not known. The
Investigators, however, are puzzled in
considering how man nearly 81
years old and with one leg shorter
than the other could keep swimming
for eight hours and why, if he had
swum all that time he had not reached
the shore, which was near by.
"Mr. Thomas maintained offices in
both Boston and New York and had
his residence in New York. He was
connected with two corporations with
headquarters in Boston.
"He is survived by his widow and a
daughter and by other relatives resid-
ing in Baltimore.
Funeral services were held at st.
Andrews church, st. Mary's, Nd"
