 WASHINGTON-Redu,ced to it's direct cash effect on the pocket Do k, ot American taxpayers. Pres ident Hooyer's proposal for a year debt and reparation holiday is but d drop in the American financial bucket
 Measured by the indirect effect ian economic or political collapse in Germany might have on indi- vidual Americans. the possibilities ot the holiday are staggering.
 What MT Hoover has proposed 10 Europe is that the United Sta tes forego for a year annual pay ments from France, Italy, England, Belgium and other former allied countries concerned. aggregatins something like a quarter of billion dollars.

 The theory is that Germany. siven that aid. can weather not only the economic crisis which makes her the greatest national victim of the world depression. but also the internal political chao, which threatens her middle-of-the road republican government.

the lock was broken. While Mr.. Bos-
ley has no positive evidence as to
the identity of the person guilty of
the theft he is pretty well convinced
in his own mind that one of two men
in the community did the thieving.
Turkeys last week sold in Oakland
at prices ranging from 35 cents to
40 cents per pound for full-dressed
young hens. The prices obtained here
were somewhat higher than in other
nearby markets, but. the quality Of
the homegrown birds more than
made up for the difference in price.
Mountain grown poultry, lambs and
in fact most all other products are
superior in taste and every other
quality than products grown in lower
levels. Hence buy at home, trade at
home.

SOME REAL MUSIC

Those who attended the fifth an
nual concert of the Gilbert Brown
Boys band need no words to tell
them of it's success. They were there
and heard the program.
To those lovers of good music,
however, who were so unfortunate as
to be unable to crowd into the Mary
land theatre, it might be we'll to let
them know what they missed.
The entire program was the best
presented during the bands organiza-
tion. Difficult selections were chosen
by Russell Brown, director, for the
boys to play, and the approval of the
audience shown by their applause,
showed how we'll the boys mastered
them. The solo work of individual
members, the quartet number, and the
obligato parts were excellent.
In short, the so members of the
organization played high class pro-
gram under capable direction, and put
out some real music.

Notwithstanding the danger of be-
ing forced into conflict with the civil
authorities in England in addition to
the active opposition of the strong
jesuit Order of his own church, Lord
Baltimore continued vigorously to
protest against that Order acquiring
or holding land directly from the In
dians. Indeed, so thoroughly was he
imbued with the idea that he was
contending for principles which he
believed was for the good of the Col
ony, as well as in the protection of
his own rights as proprietary, that
perhaps he gave too much credence to
rumors, some true and some false,
concerning the ultimate plans of the
Jesuits.
1t was charged, among other things,
that the aim of the Order was to Gre
ate dissatisfaction and split the Col
onists into factions to the detriment
of Lord Baltimore. The latter, as
defensive move, attempted to pre-
vent the immigration of Jesuits into
the Province. This disagreement be-
tween the proprietary, on the one
hand, and the Church on the other,
continued for a period of more than
thirty years.
1t must be conceded that the con-
tention of the Jesuits, in regard to
the direct purchase of land from the
Indians, was more or less tenable,
for it must be remembered that the
proprietary himself or through an
official agent, purchased lands from
the same source.
There is certain degree of mys-
terry surrounding this whole affair,
even in the light of the great mass
of historical references now, at hand.
Had it not been for the intermeddling
of ill-advised partisans on both sides
it would appear, even to the casual
observer. that the disagreement be-
tween the Order and the proprietary
should have been sooner settled. l
We find in Andrews Maryland His
tory that as early as 164S,, a high au-
, athority of the Order wrote to its chief
representative in Ameria forbidding
the Order to accept and landed prop
erty without the consent of Lord Bal
timore. In addition, the general of
the Order in England expressed his
very high ideals, in letter to Father
Knott as follows: 81 should be sorry
if differences about temporal things
placed hindrance in the way of the
conversion of souls" But on account
of the very evident hostility on the
part of Father Edward Knott these
sentiments were suppressed.
Referring to the period when the
Puritans were in control of the Col
ony, we find that in 152 Roman Cath
olics were declared ineligible for office
or the franchise. Thus, without just
cause, viewing it from the present
day angle), and certainly contrary to
the spirit, if not the letter of the act
concerning religion, the Roman Catho-
lies of the Province were disfran-
chised. This, of course, was an act of

RANCH WORKER
SHOOTS THREE
and ENDS LIFE

SAN JOSE. Cal, June 4. UP)-A
frenzy Of anger over cruelty" to
a pet turtle was believed today to
have led Hank Harmon, 65-year- -old
ranch worker, TO shoot three men,
bers of family with whom he was
living and then committed suicide
by setting fire to the house and
shooting himself.
The victims of Harmon's outburst
were w. E. Jones, orchard man, shot
in the chest; his. wife, Mrs. Jones,
shot in the arm and chest, and Roy
Kellum, Mrs. Jones 13-year- -old son,
shot in the left shoulder.
Harmon's body was recovered late
last night from the cmbers of the
Jones, home at Monte Vista, near
here, a few hours after the shoot
ing.
The three wounded were treated
at hospital. where physicians said
they would recover. They said Har-
mon became angered when Roy Kel-
1um anc ais 1l-year-old brother.
Jack, told him they intended to bore
a hole in the shell of their turtle.
A few minutes later, officers were
told, Harmon burst into the house
and began shooting. Jack Kellum
and his sister Hazel, 18, ran with
the others from the house and hid
before Harmon could wound them.
Then Harmon ran back into the
house. A shot was heard and smoke
rose from the building. Soon it
burst into flames and was con-
sumed
