ment of the 1928 tax warrants snortiy

"The collection Of 1929 taxes we ex-
pect will be some time between jan
uary and March 1, 1881. The state

session, starting May IL, 1880. Tor the
purpose of clarifying this situation ana
establishing a definite date for the COLI
lection of 1929 taxes"

"s Provided, however, that war
rants drawn and issued under the pro-
visions of this section shall show upon

from said taxes when collected and
not otherwise and which taxes
against which said warrants are drawn
shall be set apart for their payment"

mings" for outright repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. This
stand was taken in a statement
today by former Assemblyman
George N. Jesse, who cast the
deciding vote for repeal Of the
Mullen-Gage State enforcement
act. The statement said:
eff we will revert to the
law as it was before passage
Of the Eighteenth Amendment
we will find that Congress has
ample power to deal with the
regulation and sale Of intOxi-
eating beverages without any
additional constitutional powers,
Should we repeal the Eight
zenith Amendment with q pro-
visO that intoxicating beverages
legally brewed should not be
sold either for profit or in q
saloon. 1t would mean that We
still would have the bootleg
saloon. But with the Eighteenth
Amendment removed Congress
can effectively deal with this
question"
Similar sentiments were ex.
pressed by Mrs. George Curtis
Treadwell, Of Albany, Republican
candidate for Congress in the
Twenty eighth district. She said
Anybody who is not bliud

called, has brought to this cOlln-

OLDEST CHURCH
At WH|TEMARSH

BOWIE, Md, Sept. 22.-What

church in the country, and GER

stands at White Marsh on the
Defense Highway, one-quarter OF

that road and the Grain High.
way, according to Rev. Junius
McGehee, s. j., present rector
Of the parish.
The site upon which the
church stands, Father McGehee
explains, came into possession Of
the Jesuit Fathers in 1928 un-
der the will of James Carroll,
bequeathing the order 1000 acres
of land and 100 slaves. The
fathers established a residence
there in 1741, and work on the
church was begun soon after.
The first general meeting Of
Catholic clergyman in American
was held in the church in 1881, it
is stated, and at that meeting
religious views and plans for
church government were discussed.
At one time its diocese extended
to Baltim ore and Annapolis,
Father McGehee continues. Balti-
more was separated from the
parish in 1886 when Father
Sewell became the first resident
priest in that city. It was at
White Marsh, he declares, that
John Carroll was voted the first
bishop in the United States.

still stand many original shrines,
