THE NEW RAILROAD
SCHEDULE

For months past we have heard
much of promised improved rail-
road service with the inaugura Of
electric trains, etc. The new sched-
lule went into effect on Sunday, but
it doesn't mean a.thing to the travel
ing public In this neck of woods, ex-
cept that the notoriously poor pas
senger service that has always been
our portion, is poorer still now.
BY getting up at FIVE O'Clock In the
morning passengers from Rising
Sun can reach Baltimore at 8:15
O'Clock. The next southbound pas
senger train, which is the new gas
electric motor coach is scheduled to
leave Rising Sum at 1915 p. m.
This fast ~ passenger train gets
you in Baltimore at ASA p. M,
after letting you catch your breath
by a wait of one hour and thirty
seven minutes at Perryville. The
only good southbound passenger
train that made close connections at
Perryville for either Baltimore or
Philadelphia, leaving Rising Sun
about ten o'clock in the morning,
does not carry passengers under the
new order of things, as it is only for
mail and express service.
The northbound passenger SER
vice, too, we note by the new sche-
dule, has been improved (?) by tax
ing you to Wawa and putting you
on a local electric train that lands
you in Philadelphia nearly q half
hour later than formerly! This is
what the railroad is trying to tell
the public is faster passenger SER
vice, and then complaining because
the people are not patronizing their
trains!

| A search for two Washington Col
lege students, missing from Chester
town since October 25th, was ended
Sunday when the boys were located
4 in California, The search had ex-
tended throughout the United States
and Canada. They are Farrell Hud-
son and Raymond Sheets. The par
ents of the boys were notified Sun
day that the boys had been located
Both youths are from Marion
Somerset County, Hudson is the son
OF P. O. Hudson, we1l-to-do Gamer
and lumber manufacturer, and
Sheets is the SON of the Rev. Chas
j.. Sheets, Baptist minister of that
town.
They had entered college as fresh
men this fall but soon firing OF .rou-
tine at the institution, confided to
friends that they were going to Can
ada.
Hudson had used his fathers au-
tomobile at the college and in it the
two youths left without the knowl-
edge of the parents. They had very
little money at the time, though
Hudson is said to have drawn upon
the family's checking account since
then.
Four dsys after their unceremoni-
GUS departure, the parents broadcast
an appeal for their return from
radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh.
The parents at that time promised
not to censure the two students if
they would return home.
Mr.. Sheets said he would not in
sist that his son return to college,
but expressed anxiety for his health,
and hardships the boys would face
in attempting their contemplated
journey.

youths in the California city in
which they were reported authori-
tatively to be located. -Chestertown

Craftsmanship by Oscar F. Lackey,
former City Harbor engineer, Cover
nor Ritehie announced Monday.
Mr.. Mackall will continue, at
least for a time. as chief engineer,

ment of this committee was made
last spring, following the uncover

COUNTERFEIT TWENTY DOLLAR
NOTES

Showers of the queer" passed
three counterfeit $40 notes.-that
we have heard of,-in this vicinity
this week. The spurious notes are
i've dollar bills raised to $40, one
side of the note being very cleverly
changed, but the other side ratheE
poorly done and easily detected by
anyone familiar with this size note.
In common with other editors,
we are free to say we would not be
able to detect the counterfeit. as
money OF this denomination is not
intended for newspaper mon. We
are informed. however, that each
denomination has a different like
ness on the front, and that ON the
Ave dollar note is Of Lincoln, while
that on the $40 note is Of Cleveland.
There is no trace as to the parties
who put the counterfeit notes in cir
|culation, but they were given by
some crook who was motoring
through this section and stopped at
some of the numerous gas stations,
receiving generous sum Of good
money in change afer purchasing
gasoline.

MET INSTANT DEATH
Explosion OF Dynamite Kills
Phillip Cameron

NesA&ASA
VIM. Phillip Cameron, a well
known resident Of Port Deposit met
accidental death on Friday morning
last, by the explosion of some sticks
Of dynamite that he was carrying.
Just how the accident occurred is
not known, but the theory is adj
vanced that the unfortunate man
may have stumbled and fallen on
the dynamite, causing It to explode,
He was taking the explosive to his
home, near Port Deposit, to blow
Lstumps, it is said, when the accident
happened.
Mr.. Cameron was the son Of Geo.
w. Cameron, of this locality, and his
father before him met tragic death
fifty years ago, in September last.
when he was struck by train while
crossing the railroad tracks in his
butcher wagon at Duyckinck's ware
house, Rising Sun, and killed.
Graduating as a civil engineer
from college at Ada, Ohio Phillip
Cameron entered the employ OF the
Pennsylvania railroad company but
later was employed by the McClena-
han Brothers, who for years con-
Quoted the quarry business on an
extensive scale at Port Deposit.
After the suspension Of business by
the McClenahan Bros, some years
ago, Mr.. Cameron embarked in the
quarry business for himself, which
he followed until the time OF his
death.
His is survived by his wife and
|one daughter, Miss Christine Cam
eron. The funeral was held on
Monday afternoon, with interment in
Rosebank cemetery, Calvert.

LIABLE FOR s3OO.0OO OF
STOLEN ROAD FUNDS
Responsible For Money Paid Out On
Forged Checks

4
The State does not stand to lose
more than $4,000 at the most as
the result Of thefts from the funds
of this commission, John N. Mack
lall, chairman of the State Roads
Commission, declares.
Mr.. Mackall said the Union Trust
Company, with which the revolving
fund Of the commission was deposit
ed, would be forced to pay back to
the State the total amount of the
forged checks cashed by the institu-
Ition..
He estimated practically every
fraudulent transaction, by which
l$376,13S.77 was stolen from the
commission funds, with the excep-
ton of irregular salary advances,
was made by forged checks. Mr..
Mackall said the bank allowing the
Withdrawals on forged checks was
Irresponsible and must pay the money
back, according to ruling given
him by Thomas H. Robinson, At
ltorney- General.
The sum stolen from the commits
sion funds between Oct. /, 1920, and
March 81, 1928, was announced Ny
Governor Richie following the re-
port of Haskins G Sells, auditors ap-
pointed by him to investigate the
shortage, and the special committee
tappointed to Investigate the fnan-
Ecial set-up of the commission and
make recommendation for improve
ments.
| Mr.. Mackall said the item of $780,
944.06, representing the amount OBJ
tained illegally through salary ad-
vances, would be about the only
TYPE Of peculation for which the
commission would not be reimburs-
led.
1.-THE State will be refunded a
very substantial amount of the total
loss by the Union Trust Company, !"
I he continued, (which, of course, is
bonded to protect itself against such
frauds. We expect to get practical
lly every cent outside the loss sus-
tanned through salary advances, and
/ I do not believe the State will lose
more than $4,000 or $4,000"

TWENTY FIRST ANNUAL SEAL
SALE

For twenty years many Cecil
County citizens have been saying
"Merrie Christmas by putting
Christmas Seals on their packages,
letters and cards. They have in
this way not only voiced wish.
but they have helped to make that
wish possible.
In purchasing these tiny messeng-
ers of health, you have contributed
Ito a vigilant campaign against Tu-
berculosis in Cecil County. It Is
encouraging to know that the death
rate in our county has been reduced
by more than one-half since the
Christmas Seal made its first ap-
|pearance. But tuberculosis today
still accounts for one death out Of
every four in our midst between the
ages of Is and "A.
Last year the money raised from
Christmas Seals in our county
brought IL Chest Clinics, where los
persons were examined. OF this
number. 20 were, found to have ac-
tive Tuberculosis. The Seal Sale
also helped support nursing service
and was responsible for other health
educational projects including the
Miracle House for undernourished
and underweight children, where
151 children received special care
during the summer.
Your support is needed In con-
tinuing this work during 1929 and
we hope you will use many OF the
little Christmas Seals inextending
the greetings Of the season.

BRIDGE PLANS APPROVED BY
ROADS BOARD
P. $. 9. Yet To Passion Securities
Issue In $4,000, 900 Project

issue In $11,OOO,OOO Project
Promoters OF the Chesapeake Bay
bridge have expressed the belief that
construction work on the span that
will connect Baltimore directly with
the Eastern Shore would start In a
Flew weeks.
They said this following an
nouncement that the State Roads
Commission had approved their
plans.
| Only few minor matters need
attention before work can begin,
Stuart S. Janney, attorney for the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Company,
explained. These, the company
hopes, will be out of the way by
January !, Mr.. Janney added.
Bids probably will be invited soon.
When the bids are in and the cost
Of the structure is known, the mat
ter will be submitted to the Public
Service Commission for its approval
of the securities issue necessary for
the project, now estimated at $11,-
600, 900.
With this .out Of the way, the con-
tract will be let and the bridge be-
gun.
| Announcement Of the State Roads
4 Commissions APPROVAL Of the bridge
specifications was made by John N.
MackaH, chairman and chief engine-
er. Approval followed certain
changes made by the bridge COM
pany engineers after a recheck OF
conditions in the bay along the
route of the span.
The changes. Mr.. Mackall said,
were in the foundation work. They
were made voluntarily by the bridge
company engineers, he explained.
after they had taken additional bor-
ings and studied the nature OF the
bays bottom where the bridge is to
be built. Considerably larger foun-
dations in certain places, longer and
more piles are to become part Of
the structure on account Of this re-
check and the changes which follow
| ed it.
| The bridge will extend from
point near Back river, in Baltimore
county, to point in Kent county.
1t will be built in series Of spans,
one of 440 feet, another Of $40 feet,
a lift span of $40 feet, another OF
$40 feet and one Of 440, all over
the west channel, and oyer the east
channel a 680-foot span, another
I370-foot lift span and q 370-foot
fixed span.
The main bridge will be six and q
quarter miles long, according to the
plans, but including the approaches
and fills the length OF the structure
will be ten and one-tenth miles.
With the exception of the San
Francisco Bay bridge, now under
obstruction, this will be the longest
bridge project in the world, Mr..
Mackall said.
The lift spans and the main fixed
spans will be fifty feet above low
water. The clearance under the lift
spans, when opened, will be approx
imately 140 feet. The minimum
clearance under any Of the bridge
spans will be fifteen feet.
All these were specifications con-
tanned in the plan agreed on finally
between the bridge company and the
War Department when the Govern
ment approved the project. War
Departments participation was in
the interest Of present and possible
future navigation in the upper bay.
The State Roads Commission
made no recommendations concern
ing the main outline OF the bridge.
