Taylor stated after the colts
triumph in the Florida Derby
that his next engagement would
probably be the Kentucky Derby.
Col. E. r. Bradley, whose
Burgoo King won the Preakness
together with the Kentucky
Derby, has nominated two.
Boiler Maker and Brokers Tip.
Both Of these colts failed to
win a purse during 1882. How
ever, Trainer Thompson de-
clares that both colts have
grown considerably and will
start in both classics barring
accident.
In the past the Preakness
has been won by such outstand'
ing horses as Survitor, Tom
Ochiltree, Duke Of Magenta,
Vanguard, The Bard, Sir Bar
ton, Man O. War, Display, Bos.
tonian, Victorian, Gallant Fox
and Burgoo King.

STEELE LICKED
ALREADY, SAYS
GROBM|ER

Fred Grobmier, the Japanese
Frog" scissors star, already has
conceded Ray Steele's defeat at
the Washington Auditorium.
Reporting here some "a hours
ahead of schedule yesterday,
Grobmier exploded with Art
ShireSlike cocksureness:
"DO you know how sure 1 am
I'll win? 1 refused a bout
worth plenty of money earlier
this week in order to rest up
for this one.
"They rank Steele next to
LOndOS, but what of it? Haven't
Jim Mcmillan and Dick Shikat
both taken him? Didn't Frank
Judson carry him to twO-hOur
draw, and haven't worked
several draws with him my
self?"
That Grobmier is sold on his
Japanese scissors" is obvious
Declaring this hold, properly ap-
piled, can't be broken, he's spent
most of his spare time prior TO
tonight's match perfecting it.
Marshall BlackStock, for in
stance, probably will produce
miniature riot in his semifir1al
with Joe Cox. They are routed

LEAD
IN HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 81
GN.S).-Hollywood divorces out
numbered marriages by a narrow
margin during the first half Of
1888, a survey revealed today.
On 26 occasions screen cele-
brities went into the divorce
court in the past six months,
against 81 trips to the altar.
On the other hand, the mar
riages that endured in the cinema
capital were put on a more last
ing basis by the arrival of seven
heirs and heiresSes to famous film
titles.
The most famous divorce of the
first half of the year was that
granted Joan Crawford, glamorous
beauty, from Douglas Fairbanks,
jr., her Screen-star husband, now
seriously i'll in New York city.
Another broken romance that
shocked the screen colony was
that Of Maurice Chevalier, French
actor, and his wife, Yvonne
Vallee, granted a divorce by
mutual consent in Paris.
Scarcely less prominent were
the divorces obtained by Janet
Gaynor, noted actress, from Lydell
Peck, and Eleanor Boardman,

Here and There
in the Realm Of
Broadcastins
By STANLEY BIGELOW

Business is picking up with the
local outlets of the National
Broadcasting Company, much to
the relief Of officials here.
Within less than two weeks,
the summer shortage has been
lifted and three network pro-
grams have been linked to the
local stations, WRC and WMAL.
The first of these is the Potash
and Perlmutter series, which got
off to a grand start last night
over WMAL and which will be
heard every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 7:30 p. m.
Beginning August "a, one of
the bigger chocolate firms will
present a series of programs
through WMAL at p. m. and
it's rumored, although nobody is
sure, that Ethel Shutta will have
the leading singing role on the
program.
And that's not all. Another
series will begin September 27,
presenting dramatic sketches
detective tales. it's said.

From Saw to Cello

Who would have though that
the saving of good Canadian
spruce logs had anything to do
with the art of the cello? Not
even Rosario Bourbon, conductor
Of a famous radio orchestra and
an expert cellist, could have
imagined it.
But Bourbon this month cele.
brates the beginning of his seventh
year as director of this program
starring Jessica Dragonette, and
the story of how he got his start
in a Canadian sawmill is fre,
Quently popping up.
1t seems that Bourbon wasn't Sc
successful with the saw and the
foreman gave him his start as a
Cellist by telling him he sawed as
though he were playing lone o
them big fiddleS you holds on your
knees"

It grew steadily colder yesterday
and last evening the thermometer
was at %. With the temperature ris-
ing this morning, more snow began to
fall, and has continued almost I'M
interruptedly since then.
Highways have been icy, making
fast travel dangerous. Several auto
mobiles have turned completely around
and few cars have collided as re-
suit of the ice.
The Meyer Transit bus skidded on

Market ran together at the corner of
Second and Oak streets yesterday, and
other minor skids have been reported.
Another car was reported wrecked

Although never officially announced
who was the winner of the Mt. State
Baseball league. Bayard or Friends
vile, it is said Bayard now has pos
session of the 24-inch silver loving
cup, in token of the championship. 1t
was not, however, presented to them.
1t is alleged that five members of
the Bayard, w. Va, team walked into
Browns store, Oakland, on Saturday
night, and while the owners attention
was diverted to customers in the store,
they walked off with the cup, which
was on display there-and Friends
vile is demanding it's return-but to
no avail.

the loving cup might be termed a col
lege "prank" but here it is assuming
more serious proportions with Friends
vile threatening action from Garrett
county authorities if the cup is not
brought back. Bayard, on the other

up it's sleeve at the threats.

BEAR HILL MAN is HELD
IN DEFAULT OF BOND
Wilt Pleads Not Guilty to Char
ges of Shooting at Officer

ALIVE Wilt, of Bear Hill, near Bit
finger, who was arrested last week
by county officers and U. S. Deputy
Marshall Howard P. Loughrie after
being halted by being peppered with
shot, was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Thomas j. An
derson at Cumberland on Saturday on
charges of shooting at federal officers,
resisting arrest and violating liquor
laws. He was lodged in the Cumber-
land Jail in default of $1,000 bond, and
was being detained for the Federal
court term. Wilt pleaded not guilty.
Wilt, it was testified, shot at FEEDER
al Investigator William R. Harvey and
several of the county officers on No.
vember 16 of last year while a raid
was being conducted near Willis home.
On that occasion Delbert Wilt, brother
of ALIVE, was arrested and was later
sentenced to serve nine months in the
House of Correction for violating
liquor laws.
Avoided Arrest for a Year
In the raid, 60-gallon still was
seized with mash and whiskey. Since
that time, authorities stated, numer-
Gus attempts have been made to ap-
prehend Wilt, who avoided capture
and ignored requests of officers to
give himself up.
Last Wednesday the deputy mar
shall, Deputy Sheriff Clarence Spear
of this county and other officers went
after Wilt. When they attempted to
arrest him he ran and was wounded
by Deputy Marshall Loughrie. His
injuries are not serious and he is
recovering.

MUNICIPAL BUILDING MAY
BE BUILT BY FEDERAL AID
Idea Is Only A Dream Thus Far,
But Committee Is Appointed
To Investigate Possibility
COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING

What might ultimately result in the
erection of community or municipal
building for Oakland, was inaugurated
at the regular monthly meeting of the
Mayor and City Council on Monday
evening when a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate and advise the
possibility of securing government
loan for that purpose.
The loan, should it be made, would
come through the Public Works Fund
of the Federal Government. When a
loan from this fund is approved, the
government will give 80 percent of the
amount, and then lend the other 70
percent at long term with 4 percent
interest.
Before anything definite can be
known, it will be necessary to have
an architect draw plans, and an ap-
proximate estimate made as to the
cost. When this information is OBJ
tanned, an application for the loan
may be sent in.
"The idea is still in very remote
STAGE" Grover C. Stemple, mayor,
said. eve would also like to construct
an auxiliary reservoir at the same
time and plans of this will also have
to be submitted"
Should the investigation of the
council committee show that con-
ditions would be favorable for the
erection of these two projects, appli-
cation would be made as soon as pos
sible.
The community building as pro-
posed would contain two stories, with
a swimming pool and gymnasium on
the ground floor, and number of
rooms on the second floor for civic
organizations. The gymnasium would
be so arranged that community
gatherings could be held there or
plays presented.
A proposed site for this building
is vacant lot on Third street, at
the north edge of town.
Other Business
The re- ,ainder of the Council meet
ing was taken up with passing month
1y bills and hearing committee of
water users who live outside the
corporation. The committee wished to
have the same water rate cover the
people out of the corporation, and
those within it. The reduction was not
granted as Mayor Stemple stated
those outside of the corporation paid
no city tax.

Large Barn Is Completed

On the farm of A. r. Martin, mile
or two south of Oakland on Route 81,
a new barn has been recently COM
pleted by the owner to take the place
of one consumed by fire during the
past summer when it was struck by
lightning and in the destruction of
which Mr.. Martin suffered a heavy
loss.
The new structure is modern in
every respect and commodious for a
large number of cattle, feed and for
other storage purposes.
The local fire department recently
received a check for $25 from Mr..
Martin with a letter expressing his
appreciation for the service its men,
bers rendered at the time the original
barn burned.
