Arrangement Of Mrs. Ritchie's Funeral
Awaits Brother and Sister.
BY the Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 24.-Final
arrangements for the funeral Of Mrs.
Elizabeth Caskie Cabell Ritchie mother
Of Gov. Albert c. Richie of Maryland,
tonight awaited the arrival from Rich
mond Of her brother and sister.
Mrs. Ritchie's end came suddenly.
She had been confined to bed but q
week, apparently In no worse condition
than usual on such occasions, but q
heart attack this morning was too much
Tor her falling strength. She never per-
m1tted her age to be known.
The Governor, who 10 days ago was
inaugurated Maryland's chief executive
for the fourth time with an address
construed as bid for the Democratic
presidential nomination In 1892, tonight
Cancelled all engagements, including a
scheduled address Sunday night over
national radio hookup.
Tentative Arrangements.
Tentative arrangements for the
funeral Of Mrs. Richie, who died today
at the executive mansion here, set
services for either Monday afternoon
or Tuesday morning at the mansion.
After the service here, the funeral
cortege will move to Baltimore, where,
IN Christ Protestant Episcopal Church,
the funeral ceremony win be conducted.
Burial will be In Green Mount
Cemetery, Baltimore, according to the
tentative plans. They will be carried
out unless a change Is requested by
Harry Landon Cabell, Richmond banker,
her brother, or by her sister, Mrs. John
B. Lottier, also of Richmond.
Mrs. Richie had been confined TO
bed at intermittent periods. On January
IA, when her son was inaugurated for
the fourth time, she was unable to
attend the ceremony for the first time.
In former years she had escorted him
from the mansion to the State House.
but this year watched him from
window in the mansion make the 100
yard trip. She returned to a radio to
listen to the ceremony and inaugural
ADDRESS broadcast over q national
hookup.

beauty Of Virginia in her youth. q

OF the Old Dominion, William H Cabell.

Richie, son of a prominent MARYLAND
family, who died in 1902. The Gov
ernor was their only child.
Mrs. Richie took an active interest
In her sons career, and aided him in
the march from law clerk in Balti-
more through several offices into the
Governors chair in 1919. No other
man ever was reelected to the Office.
but she saw him achieve that honor
three times.
The Governors devotion to his
mother was one of his characteristic
traits, and she attended all State func-
lions with him in his early political
career, and later when her health per-
mitted. Her death was a great shock
to Mr.. Richie, and he was able to see
but a few of his most intimate friends
today, while kilograms and messages of
coincidence poured in from all parts of
the country.

Hiiackers Take
Load OF Gasoline

Hijacking methods usually used on
illegal liquor shipments among the
gangster brethren, were employed
by two men last night when they
held up the driver of gasoline
truck and escaped with the truck,
a trailer, and 6086 gallons of gaso-
line.
The truck and trailer load of gas
oline was bound from Los Angeles
to Imperial Valley, hauling for the
Rio Grande company. Just out OF
Los Angeles two men threatened the
driver, frightened him into giving
them a ride, and sat beside him as
he drove towards Imperial Valley.
After riding for several miles the
two men made the driver stop,
threw him from the truck, and drove
on, leaving him by the roadside.
No trace had been found of the
truck, trailer or gasoline today, al
though deputy sheriffs from Los
Angeles and Imperial Valley were
conducting a thorough investigation
into the gasoline hijacking.

COURT HEARING
SANTAB BARBARA
RAILROAD SUIT

Three prominent northern Cali
fornia attorneys appeared before
Judge A. c. Finney this morning to
argue a motion for new trial in the
suit of the city of Santa Barbara
against the Southern Pacific rail-
road company and affiliated or
ganizations, which was tried by
J. F. GouX, city attorney of Santa
Barbara, and opposed by Henley c..
Booth of San Francisco, chief
counsel for the Southern Pacific,
and La Sclle Thornburg of Santa
Barbara, another Southern Pacific
attorney.
The suit involves two blocks of
land near the heart of Santa Bar
bara granted to the Southern Pa
cific for railroad purposes by city
ordinance passed more than 40
years ago. The city sued to recover
the land. contending that the Or
dinance granting the land to the
railroad company IVES invalid.
Judge Finney had ruled that the
city may recover the land at the
end of the so year period. or in
April of 1886 The city moved for
a new trial in an effort to get i'm
mediate possession of the land
A queer twist in the case ap-
peared when the railroad attorneys
mentioned the fact that the South
ern Pacific company will also ap-
peal the decision in an effort to
have their title declared perman-
ent during the life of the corpora
ton.
