A Brightly Painted Town.
While at Lecnardtown, the visitor
really should see Tudor Hall, whose
masters included the father of Francis
Scott Key, author the THE Star
Spangled Banner" As the motorist
enters Leonardtown these days, he is
at once struck by the well-mowed
green in the center of the town. and
the brightness of the paint on the
residences and commercial houses
which he passes. One can find COM
Portable accommodations at Leonard
town. There's a fairly large hotel
which serves its meals in the old
fashioned country" style: Each diner
receives dish of every kind Of vege-
table that's in season and the in
evitable country ham besides, what
ever other meat he has ordered.
Out of Leonardtown, the st. Marys
road runs to the left and at right
angles to the road entering the town.
It is rough, the beginning of the st.
Marys road out Of Leonardtown, 1t
has a marked crown, and it runs quite
steeply down hill so don't try to make
too much speed. In miles. you
reach Great Mills and then it's only
6 more miles to st. Marys City.
Now on the last 2 miles before
you get into St. Marys City, the road
runs through a deep forest of tall
timber. Watch closely on the right
for the sign which marks the en-
trance to Father Whites Memorial y
Stop while and turn in that shaded
road among those great trees. It's
only half a mile before you'll come
upon a broad bit of green lawn in a
clearing on the left side OF the road.
There Is the Father White Memorial;
a brick wall, bearing a carved tablet.
Father White, you know, was Rev.
Andrew White, the Jesuit priest who
really was Maryland's first historian.

party which arrived In the Ark and

the basis for virtually every Mary
land history.
Well. back on the road. there at
the entrance to Father Whites Me-
mortal, the route lies right and skirts
a cove in the St. Marys River. The
road bed is only a few feet above
the water level, and it makes broad,
sweeping curve to approach this
"city." Finally the road begins to
climb, and suddenly, on the right,
appears a tiny white frame structure

A sketch Of the history of Point
Lookout during the Civil War lends
further interest to ones stay at the
cape. A great military prison was es-
tablished there for Confederate SOL
diers taken In battle. But 1t was here
that 1894 Of those prisoners died and
were buried. Later. their bodies were
taken from Point Lookout and many
were sent to their homes. The re-

from the Point itself, and the United

Confederate dead, raised handsome
monument above their graves.
Near Point Lookout, too, Is another

Hand-Iine Catches Averag-

Season Opens.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, June 9.-Blue-
fishing season has opened in Virginia,
with fishermen on the Atlantic sea-
coast and in Chesapeake Bay report
ing hand-line catches of large num-
bers of blues, averaging four pounds
in weight. Wachapreague, one of the
greatest fishing resorts in Virginia,
sent six parties to the fishing grounds
one day last week and reported the
best sport in years.
Not only were quantities Of fine
blues caught, but the party, guided by
Eugene Jester, brought in "a trout
ranging in size from two and half
to five pounds Sam Taylor's party
brought in AS trout, some of which
weighted as much as seven pounds.
A report from Quinby, Va. stated
parties there said the fishing this year
is the best in the last eight years.
One guest Of Capt. L. s. Corbin
brought in a trout weighing IL
pounds. -
From Wachapreague comes the
report that the first channel bass of
the season have arrived. William
Colona brought in two of about so
pounds each. A. H. G. Mears OF
Wachaprague caught Al blueflsh on
the first trip of the season, 10 Of
them weighing Al pounds.
At Messick, near Newport News, one
party brought in II bluefish, averag-
ing three pounds each. The net fish
ermen who fish for commercial
houses report that the blues are run

of them to be had in Virginia waters
at the present time.
At Deltaville the bluefish are run

Is the st. Marys City Post once.
Next are the buildings Of the st.
Mary's Female Seminary, a State
school founded in 1884 as bicenten-
nial memorial to the founding OF the
colony in 1884. The schooi stands on
what was the "gallows green" where
there was Jail, gallows and stock
and pillory.
Middle Street"
Next the seminary on the right
of the road, one sees quaint Trinity
Church, which was built out of the
brick of the old State House Of the
vanished city. Opposite the church,
on the left side of the road. stands
the parsonage, and as the road makes
a sharp turn left about that house,
one finds himself on what once was
Middle street. Across Middle street
from the front of the parsonage Is
the new State House. which Is re-
production of the original as nearly
as research could make 1t. But 1t Is
not on the site of the first State
House; that was over there where
the graves nestle in the shade OF
great trees beside the little church.
It was over there, not far from where
that tall monument stands on the
spot where grew the famous null
berry tree under which Gov. Leonard
Calvert made his treaty with the
Indian King Yaocomico. The altar
rail in the church. by the way. was
made of wood from that old tree.
Now Just a block or so down what
was Middle street, intersects another
road. That was old Mattaponi street.
It was at the corner of Middle and
Mattaponi streets where stood the first
church of st. Marys City. Originally
it housed both Catholic and Prot
estant services. but when Protestant
church was erected, that initial church
building was consecrated as the Cath
olic place of worship.
Since ST. Marys is so near lands
end at Point Lookout, the Washing
tonian really should drive the remain
ing IL miles. Three or four miles
down the road on the right is a side
road that leads to the oldest house in
Maryland, Cross Manor. This brick
house, it is confidently believed, was
erected in 1914, and its grounds bear
huge box trees that have attracted
great interest.
Down at Point Lookout the traveller,
who by now may be weary, will find
a modern hotel that Is fitted to meet
virtually every requirement. There
are good rooms and up-to-the- minute
baths attached A large dining room
is inviting and a broad porch makes
resting almost within the curl of the
Chesapeake surf a soothing recreation

Where the Calverts Landed.
At Chaptico you may drive of on
a tangent road, sharp right to the
route you're following and 60 on down
through Maddox and Milestown to
Coltons Point for a look at the spot
on which the Calverts. who estab-
lished st. Marys City, actually made
their first landing. Colton's Point Is
only about 10 miles from Chaptico
and lying just of 1t there In the
Potomac River is what now Is called
Blackstone Island, but which for
merly was st. Clements Island. A
huge white masonry cross is the most
prominent structure on the island,
and it spreads its white arms out
above the trees as you see 1t from
Coltons Point. That's the cross which
was dedicated last March on the
actual anniversary Of the landing OF
the Calverts. 1t marks the place
where the first mass was said in
Maryland. To get out to the island,
YOU can bargain with any OF the
boatmen there at Colton's, and the
price is low.
From ColtonS, you may go back to
Chaptico to turn right again there for
the continuation of the trip to st.
Marys, or you can cut off few miles
by taking the right fork at Miles
town and running on over to
Clements. The little town of Clements
is 5 miles from Chaptico and you'd
have to go through it which ever
way you chose to return from Coltons.
Three miles beyond Clements. this
"Chaptico route" rejoins the main
highway (route No. 81 and in another
8 miles, the traveller Is in Leonard
town, county seat of st. Marys County.
Now it happens that it was Leonard
town which actually marked the final
doom of St. Marys City. First the
capital, st. Marys lost that distinc-
ton to Annapolis. but it grimly held
on to the battered dignity of county
seat until 1708, when even the county
court house was established at Leon
ardtown. And that act, by the way.
in fact preceded the establishment
of the town itself, for although the
legislation requiring the building of
St. Marys County Court House on
Breton Bay was passed, it was not
until 1928 that the town really came
into being. During that interval from
1708 until 1923, Leonardtown was
called Seymour Town, but in the latter

BANK METHODS BEING ALTERED
 START OF 1884
Crisis During Nineteen Thirty-three Cause of
 Many Changes
Bv I. l.. COOLEY

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Nineteen thirty-four brings the inaugura- tion of new departure in banking in the United States, just as 1883 changed many old practices.
 Federal deposit insurance, mak- ing it's debut with the new year, represents a striking break with precedent.
 Enacted by the emergency con- gress as a means of forestalling panics, and subject to strong criti- cism from many banking quarters, the plan provides for immediate guaranty of deposits up to $2,500 from Jan. 1 to July l.
 Thereafter larger deposits are to be insured by successive steps un- til accounts of $50,000 are thus pro- tected by 1886. It is estimated, however, that 95 percent of the individual accounts in the nations banks are S2,500 or less.
 Fund Created
 Members of the Federal Reserve System are required to contribute a percentage of their deposits to the guaranty fund which will be administered by federal corpora ton. Non-member banks can quail ify for participation. although they eventually must come into the cen tral system if they are to continue to receive the insurance protection
 The banking act of 1933, which provided this innovation, was the direct result of the financial dis turbances which led to the memor- able banking holiday" It seeks not only to prevent recurrence of such happenings. but also to elimi- nate certain practices which had been revealed before the Senate in- vestigating committee.
 Many Changs Made
 In addition to federal guaranty of deposits, the act provided:
 Complete separation of commer- cial from investment banking. which meant the divorcement of security affiliates.
 Cessation of interest payments on demand deposits and official regu- 'aticn of interest rates on time ac- counts.
 Doubling the minimum capital of future national banks, lifting the figure to $50,000.

WASHINGTON, Jan. B. President Franklin D. ROOse- welt in his message to Con- gress today refrained from detailed and specific recOm- mendati0ns of legislation but dealt in general with his re- covery program and it's pro- gress during the past six months.
 The President asked coop eratiOn to continue restOra- ti0n of our National well-be- ing as it is equally important to build on the ruins of the past, a new structure design cd better to meet the present problems of modern civiIiza- tiOn.
 We have ploughed a fur row, and planted good seed. If we would reap a full har- vest we must cultivate the soil where this good seed is sprouting so the plant may r e a c h up to a m a t ure growth"
 The President apparently plans to deal later with the exact legis- lation he proposes to recommend, in line with his practice at the special session last March. The President congratulated Congress for it's work at that session and called for continuation of the pro- gram then enacted.
 To Report on Debts
 The President disclosed his in- tention to report later to the Na- tion's Legislators on debts owed the Government and people of this country by other countries"
 Returning to home problems. the President said. We have been shocked by the notorious examples of the injuries done citizens by persons or groups, who have been living off their neighbors by use of methods either unethical or criminal. These call for stringent preventive or regulatory measures.

 Two-Year Period

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Es- tabIishment of a Municipal Dictatorship, unique in Op- eratiOn of American cities, IS the answer proposed by May or LaGuardia for solving the financial crisis facing New York City.
 Confronted with a stagger- ing operating budget of more than half a billion dollars and a minimum deficit of twenty five million dollars, the new Fusion Mayor seeks a two- year period in which to op- crate a free hand.
 Under the terms of his unpar- alelled proposal he would delegate to himself powers to seek determ- ination of economies, salaries of employees and reductions, also elim- ination of city agencies, unlimited power to furlough or transfer city employees.
 Mayor LaGuardia took his cue from the Roosevelt program and enabling act and it is ready. for presentation to the State Legisla- ture with its approval virtually assured by the Fusion Board of Estimates.

We'll Known Juneau Busii- ness Man Pa sses Away
 in Seattle at Age of 39

Malcolm s. Wilson passed away at 5 o'clock this morning at the Maynard Hospital in Seattle where he had undergone a major opera tion last Saturday, according tc word received here by his brother in-law, Horace O. Adams.
 News of MT. Wilson's death came as shock to members of Mrs Wilson's family and his many friends in Juneau as word had been received on Sunday that the operation had been successful, and no fear had been felt for his re- covery.
 With Mrs. Wilson, he had left Juneau on December Is for a combined business and vacation trip to Seattle and first word of his illness was a wire from Mrs. Wilson that he was entering May nard Hospital on December 26 to undergo a major operation for the removal of a growth on the intes- tines.
 Details Meager
 No details of the sudden turn for the worse that brought death were contained in the wire received today frcm A. Van Mavern, who with Mrs. Van Mavern had re- mained in Seattle until after MT. Wilson's operation. Mrs. Wilson, who is with her sister, Mrs. Nor man Sjursen, in Seattle, stood the shock bravely. MT. Van Mavern stated.
 Besides his widow, Mir Wilson is survived by a sister, Mrs. Claude Theile, whose husband, major in the U. s. Army, is stationed ill Washington, D. O., and two older brothers. Gordon Wilson and Rob- ert Wilson, both of whom live in Los Angeles.
