The new governor, Charles Cal

people of all denominations live
in peace within the Palatinate.
Nine governors, who reigned in
st. Johns Palace at st. Marys
City. conclude the pageant by
riding in review before Governor
Ritchie'S stand.
The most important event tomor.
row will be the dedication of the
newly created State House by Gov
ernor Ritchie. This interesting
building, which is a. few hundred
feet from the site of the one it re-
produces, is in picturesque contrast
to the rambling frame houses OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Spence Howard
and Mr.. and Mrs. James Bennett
and to Trinity Church on its left,
Trinity Church was built in 1929,
and it's white Gothic walls, built
of bricks in the original State
House, are framed in thick ivy.
Although none of the original
of st. Marys buildings remains,
the sites are well known. Each
foundation is in excellent con
dition. Some day the Palace of st.
Johns, Jelly's Tavern, the Prin-
cipal Ordinary from 1864 to 1894,
the Council Chamber and Catholic
Chapel will be rebuilt.
The State House was built in
strict accordance with the original
in regard to both building ma
terial and method of building. The
exterior of the building is faced
with bricks that were part of Bush
wood Manor, which was partly
destroyed by fire in January. With.
in the State House, in the st.
Marys room, 80 by 40 feet, which
was known as the Create Hall, be.
fore it was divided for the upper
and lower houses of the chamber,
are portraits of two of the Lords

Willem Wirtz Of Lords George and
Cecil, from the Mytens and Zoest
portraits. Two other paintings on
the walls, of scenes in early Mary
land history, are the work Of r..
Macgill Mackall, of Baltimore.
Furnishings Reproduced
The furnishing of the State
House. though recently begun, is
the particular pride of Mrs. Ed
ward Shoemaker, chairman; DR..
r. T. Halsey, Daniel r. Randall,
Mrs. T. Rowland Thomas and Mrs.
j. Spence Howard. They include
forms Of oak and pine, long tables,
lord proprietary armchair like
the one in which Leonard Calvert
sat while presiding over the coun-
Gil meetings, and several less i'm
posing chairs, such as probably
were used by the chancellor and
secretary.
In the upper story of the State
House is the beginning of a mu-
scum. Many gifts of artistic and
historic worth have been made
recently. Loaned particularly for
the occasion is the original re-
ceipt given by George Starkley, of
the Castle of Windsor, in April,
1640, for "the two Indian arrows .
which were the Baltimores' an
nual payment to His Majesty for
the Province of Maryland.
This morning the site for Free
dom of Conscience Monument" F."
provided by contributions from
Maryland counties, was dedicated
by Walter j. Mitchell, of La Plata,
president of the State senate. 1t
is Maryland's particular pride
that she was the first colony in
the New World to establish gen.
uine religious liberty. A model Of
a colossal allegorical figure, de.
signed by Hans Schuler, to be per.
manently carved in stone, is ter.
porarily in place for the celebra.

PRESIDENT

High praise for the work of
President Roosevelt in stabilizing
conditions was expressed by Ar
mond w. Scott, colored attorney,
in an address last night before the
National Woman's Congress at
the Metropolitan Baptist Church.
Mr.. Scott outlined the import
ant part the colored race has
played in the establishment and
development Of the United States,

SAMUEL |NSULL
SECOND TRIAL
DOUBTED

CHICAGO, Dec. % G.NS).
Further prosecution of Samuel
and Martin j. insult on charges
growing out of the o-billion-dol-
lar collapse Of the insult utility
empire appeared In doubt today.
With the return of verdict of
acquittal by criminal court jury
late yesterday in the embezzle.
ment trial Of Martin insult, aides
of States Attorney Thomas Court
ney admitted that the future
course Of prosecution may be al.
tered.
What may be done about the
embezzlement trial Of Samuel In
Sull, former head of the vast
utility chain, which is scheduled
for January 8 remains to be de-
cided.
It was generally believed that
the trial Of another embezzlement
charge against the other brother,
set for January Is, would be
dropped.
El&hCHOur decision
The second "vindication" of the
insults in the management Of
their interlocking companies was
returned by q jury in the Grim.
inal court of Judge Cornelius Har.
rington after eight hours of delib-
Grafton on the fate of Martin
insult.
The gray haired 64-year-old de-
fendant was charged with EN-.
bezzling $344,720 from the treas
ury of Middle West Utilities Com.
pany, of which he formerly was
president.
He was accused of purchasing
for Middle West stocks Of two sub
sidiary corporations which the
State charged were worthless"
when his brokers demanded that
they be liquidated as collateral
from his personal trading account.
On the first of eleven ballots
taken in the case the jurors voted
nine to three for acquittal. Sub
sequent ballots found the balloting
ten to two for acquittal.
Granted the Right
One of the stumbling blocks
that delayed the verdict was the
question of whether the defendant
had the legal right to purchase
stocks with funds drawn from the
treasury of Middle West. The de-
fense had contended that the util-
ity's board of directors had
granted insult that right.
When the remaining embezzle-
ment charge is disposed of Mar
tin insult must face deportation
proceedings. A British citizen, he
is under parole to the States At
torney's office as an alien because
of his lengthy sojourn in Canada,
without renewal of his visa, after
the utility collapse Of 1882.

3Day Holiday Hope

Federal employees will get only a
half-holiday Monday because the
Government can't get along with
out them for a longer period, Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared yesterday
That edict banished the last hope
of 10000 Washingtonians for a
three-day respite, Sunday, Monday
and Christmas Day.
Only the workers in the Navy
Yard and other industrial branches
Of the Government are exempt
from the order.
The employees, at least those in
the District, had made a deter
mined effort to get all of Monday
off in exchange for their half-hoi-
day next Monday, New Years Eve.

Moat in Our Eve

To the Editor of The Times:
I read with great interest the
article in conjunction with the
cartoon, reprinted in The Times
from the N. Y. Daily News. The
lesson intended to convey is ad-
mirable, but why go all the way
to Europe to get brutality, bar
barism, ignorance, stupidity
and inhumanness when you
have it right here in the States?
Looking through her window
once, a housewife remarked to
her daughter, How dirty Mrs.
Jones' clothes look" Her daugh-
ter replied, Mother, it is not
her clothes; it is our window
that is dirty" I wonder if that
cartoonist is not like that house"
wife?
Negroes in this country are
subjected to every punishment
the human mind can conceive.
With no protection, they are
hung, burned, dragged through
the streets. Yet Americans
write editorials and draw pic.
lures about Russia.
Get thee first the moat out
of thine own eye and then thou
canst see better to get the beam
out of thy brothers eye.

Hotel Noises

Hotel Noises
To the Editor of The Times:
Hotels should be built more
sound proof. The walls, as
hotels are constructed now, are
so thin, one is disturbed when
neighbors are noisy.
1 can hear people talking and
walking in the next room and
their radio is terribly annoying,
when 1 study at night. Many
people have no consideration in
hotels. They come in at mid
night and are very noisy, with
the result that every sound is
audible.
In Chicago, they are erecting
sound-proof hotels and should
do so here. People also should
be quiet in public places and
not come in late nights and
bang around when others want
to sleep or study. I am a
young woman who has been dis
turbed by noisy hotels a long
time now.
