| Construction of the new 20
mole 100000 volt transmission
line which the Pennsylvania
Water e Power Company is
building to bring additional
hydro-electric power from the
Susquehanna River to Balti-
more is nearing completion.
The line will connect the
new hydro-electric develop
ment at Safe Harbor with the
system of the Consolidated Gas
Electric Light and PowerCom-
pany of Baltimore.
Safe HORROR will be placed
in service early next winter and
the new supply of hydro
electric power for Baltimore
will be in addition to the large
quantities which the Pennsyl-
vania Water & Power Company
has been supplying to the Con-
solidated since 1910 from its
plant on the Susquehanna at
HOLLYWOOD.
The plants at HOLLYWOOD and
Safe Harbor will be intercon-
nected and operated as single
development, constituting one
of Americas chief sources Of
hydro-electric power.
The new power line is erected
on $50 foot right of way
through York County, Pa, and
Baltimore and Howard Count
les, Md. Its construction calls
flor $50 steel towers, of which
290, or SO per cent, have been

the towers. This work is pro-
crossing at a mile a day.
The towers have an average
height of 70 feet from their
bases to their crossarms and
are set for spans of 1000 feet.
The power house at Safe

caster County, bank of the
river. The line crosses the

The initial development at
Safe Harbor calls for an invest

 When Marquam was an inde pendent candidate for Delegate to Congress in November of 1925, he failed to comply with law requiring that he file with the Clerk of the House of Represent atives, a schedule of his canl- paign expenditures. He was placed under arrest for viola~ ton of the Federal Corrupt Prac- tice Act and brought from Fair banks. He was under a $5,O0O bond, with four men from his home town as Sureties. The Grand Jury in Washington in dicted him on two counts and he was placed under $l,000 bond, with MT. Kronhein posting the amount, and thus releasing the four sureties from Fairbanks.
 One of the counts returned against Marquam was a mlsd2- meanOr and after some delay the District Attorney agree1 that if Maruuam would plest4 guilty to the count that would only result in fine and the Oth- CT and more serious charge would be dismissed But the District Attorney has waited for nearly a year for NarQuam to appear, get his sentence and pay his money fine.

Mary's CelticS still are in the thick OF
the Virginia semi-pro championship
fight despite their 2-to-1 defeat at the
hands of the Front Royal All Stars in

It was learned here today that the
All Stars dropped a decision recently to
the Fredericksburg Elks, who were
dcwned. by the Celtics in an early-season
battle, so yesterdays contest threw the
series into a triple tie.
Local fans, and members Of the Gel
tic squad as well, left the park yeSter-
day under the impression that the loss
knocked the Green and Gold out of the
race for the State crown, as the game
had been arranged with the under
standing that the Virginia title would
be at stake.
Discovery of the Front Royal outfits

ferent light on the matter land gives
the Irish an opportunity to retain the
championship they won last season.
The defeat by the All Stars was Q
heart-breaker for Lefty Mcintyre,
Celtics' sterling left-hander, who struck
out IS and limitsd the foe to six hits,
but the Green and Gold failed to bunch
their bingleS of Ray Borden, visitors
ace, and the latter gained the verdict
over the locals Woodworking Slabman.
Charley Corbett, Celtics' manager,
will endeavor to arrange series OF
games with both the Fredericksburg
Elks and Front Royal All Stars to de-
eide the State series and break the
three-ccrnered deadlock which now ex-
lists.
