CLUBS IN COUNTY START
TREE PLANTING ACTIVITY
Civic Club Arranging Celebra-
lions and Days for Planting

Tree planting, both for national
forest reservation and for identifying
towns in Garrett county, will assume
larger proportions this year than ever
before, according to H. c. Bucking-
ham, district forester, who has con-
ferred with Civic clubs of Kitzmiller
and Oakland within the past few
days.
The Civic club of Kitzmiller is plan
ming a celebration on April IT, when a
number of trees will be planted along
the streets of that town, and also the
Kitzmiller Grammar school children
will plant trees in the school yard.
The Civic club of Oakland has de-
cided on tree planting project, to be
conducted on the Harrington State
Forest, the exact acreage undeter-
mined at present. Mr.. Buckingham
plans to set out 10000 Red Pine trees
on the forest reserve during April,
and F. F. Nicola, owner of Rock
Lodge, will plant $4,000 of the same
species on approximately 20 acres of
land.
That a number of Japanese chest
nuts might be planted here by the
government as an experiment, was
also stated by Mr.. Buckingham. The
Japanese chestnut is said to with
stand the blight that is killing the
American chestnut trees, and the
wood is said to be better grade. The
planting would be made on the State
forest reserve.
The district forester cautioned
people about setting fire to brush
piles in the morning. Brushburning
was responsible for 26 percent of all
fires last year, and he advised notify
ing A. L. Sines any time anybody con-
templated burning brush. A brush
fire, from the lookout tower, looks
like a serious forest fire, and num-
Der of men are needlessly rushed to
different points only to discover that
it is a brush fire. In the evening on
damp still days, is the time to set
brush fires, he stated.

TOPIC FOR COUNTY-WIDE
DEBATE HAS BEEN CHOSEN
Selected From List Sent in by
School Principals-Date and
Place to be Announced

The topic to be used for the county
wide debating contest to be held this
year between the high schools of the
county, was announced by Prof. F. E.
Rathbun, county superintendent, this
morning.
The topic was selected from list
sent in by each high school principal
from Grantsville, Friendsville, Acct
dent, Friendsville, Accident, Kitzmil-
Ter, Kempton and Oakland. The one
chosen was, Resolved: That it should
be the policy of our nation to increase
the power of the federal government"
The three northern schools, Grants
vile, Friendsville and Accident, will
have the affirmative side; while the
three southern schools, Oakland,
Kempton, and Kitzmiller, will take the
negative side of the question.
A small admission may be charged
this year, and the proceeds will be
added to the total of $50 which will be
presented by the Garrett National
Bank of Oakland through G. A. Fra
ley, cashier, and the First National
Bank of Oakland, through Delbert
Davis, cashier, its sponsors. The to-
tai will probably be divided between
the two competing teams with go per-
cent going to the winning team and
the remaining 40 percent to the los
ers. The money obtained by the var
ious schools is to be spent for books
for their school libraries.
The date and place of holding the
contest have not yet been decided, Mr..
Rathbun said. Preliminary debates
will be held in each school beforehand
t@ determine who shall be the repre-
sentative. One person will be chosen
from each high school.

SAFE AT CRELLIN STORE
ROBBED FRIDAY MORNING
Robbers Escape With Almost
$500 in Cash After Cracking
Safe With Nitro Glycerine

Authorities have been unable to
find any clues which might lead to
the arrest of robbers who broke into
the store of the Stanley Coal COM
pany, Crellin, last Friday morning,
blew open the safe and escaped with
$500 or $500 in cash. Included in this
amount was $125 belonging to the
Postofice department, and Scrip
money amounting to about 5000. No
merchandise was taken, as far as
could be learned.
The safe, formerly in the Office of
the County Commissioners, was
quite large, and it was thought that
nitro-glycerine was used to blow open
the doors. The explosion occurred
about $40 o'clock in the morning and
was heard by several people in Crel-
lin, none of whom investigated the
cause, thinking it came from Oak
land, four miles away.
The robbery was discovered about
6 o'clock the next morning by Howard
Phares, mail carrier. Entrance to the
building was affected through win
dow in front of the store. A second
window was also broken.
County officers are still working on
the case in an attempt to find whether
the culprits were from this section or
from the Outside"

COURTHOUSE IN
new YORK COST
ENORMOUS SUM
Original s25o,oOo Is In.
creased Nearly S12,o00,-
900 by Boss Tweed Ring.

Bv United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-One of
the most interesting buildings in
New York City is the county court
house, which stands behind the city
hall.
Visitors to the city seldom give it
more than a glance. From an ar
chitectural standpoint, a glance
probably is all it deserves. But the
story behind it is worth recountlng.
In the first place the county
courthouse is a very ordinary look
ing structure. One is inclined to
compare it to barn, particularly
because of its backyard proximity to
the city hall.
The courthouse stands as an en-"
during monument to the activities
of the Tweed ring. 1t was built dur
ing that period when Boss Tweed
ruled the roost.
And in its construction Tweed and
his compatriots reaped their great
est harvest.
The original law calling for the
construction of a courthouse was
passed by the state legislature in
1862. 1t called for an expenditure
of $25O,000 for the building. Work
started on it that year. Before
the year was out Tweed's board of
supervisors obtained authorization
to raise 100000 more.
The following year 100000 more
was put into the building and in
1870 another 100000 was raised for
it. In 1871 the Tweed men spent

Ordered to Produce List of
Stockholders in Sub
Sidy Case.

Bg Times Speci0E
WABASH, Ind, Sept. 19.-In one
Of two $4,000 suits pending against
the Big -Four railroad in which tax
payers are plaintiffs, the railroad
has lost point through court order
that it must provide a list of stock
holders in the former G. M. & w.
line, which it took over.
The case in which the railroad
lost the point is the one in which
John Hipskind, a taxpayer here and
former Wabash city council member,
is plaintiff. Recovery Of $4,000 is
sought.
To obtain a guarantee that re-
pair shops for the Michigan division
of the railroad would always be
maintained here, the city of Wabash
paid the company $4,000. The same
amount was paid by Noble township,
in which Wabash is situated. The
township has a suit similar to Hips
kinds pending. In each case it is
alleged there was breach of con-
tract when the railroad moved the
shops to Indianapolis.
The railroad contends that the
c., M. g. w. was defunct and mort
cages on it foreclosed at the time
