Judge Joseph N. Ulman, in the Cir

down a decision enjoining the Public
Service Commission of Maryland from
enforcing provisions of the commits
sion's orders directing reductins in
the rates Of the Conowingo Power Co.

The company filed suit asserting
that the commissions order to reduce
rates and cut it's valuation by more

unlawful. The company also asserted
that the Public Service Commission
used unlawful standards and meas
ures" in computing it's valuation of
the company's property.

Ulman enjoins the Public Service
Commission from enforcing Orders

EMORY L. COBLENTZ is
SUED FOR $25O,OOO

Emory L. Coblentz, President of the
closed Central Trust Company OF
Maryland has been named defendant
in a suit for $25O,OOO, filed by Mrs.
Gladys T. Pitts, wife Of the one-time
president of the F. H. Smith Company,
defunct Washington brokerage.
The suit was filed in Frederick
County Circuit Court by w. Clinton
McSherry, attorney, Mrs. Pitts pres
ent address was listed as Milwaukee
county, Wisconsin.
The action was based on an alleg-
ed promisory note drawn by Coblentz
in favor of T. Bryon Pitts, husband
of the complainant. 1t was drawn,
the papers asserted, in New York
City on December 10, 1929, in the sum
of $147,440 with interest at six per
cent.
Pitts now is serving fourteen-year
sentence on an embezzlement charge.
Mrs. Pitts averred her husband had
transferred the note in her name.
The suit said Coblentz had deposit
ed 1872 shares of preferred stock OF
the F. H. Smith Company, as collat-
eral for the note.
At his home in Middletown the
banker denied owing the note. He
issued the following statement:
81 recall something of a transac
ton made about six years ago, II
volving over 1000 shares of stock
which, at that time, was supposed tx
be worth several times the amour
of the note.
"The consideration for the trans
action entirely failed. do not owe {
penny on account Of this note an
never did, nor do have any interes
whatever in the stock which is col
lateral to it."

EXCHANGES
PECULIAR ACCIDENT
KILLS A MOUSE

An occurrence as remarkable as
any told by Ripley or Hix, in their
world famous pictorial gatherings OF
strange facts in the Baltimore papers
was the recent experience of Miss
Mildred Mcintyre, 18-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford McIn-
tyre, of Mt. Vernon.
Miss Mcintyre, a former student
at the Washington High School, was
sitting one evening last week by the
stove in her home, idly turning her
gold class ring about on her finger
when it suddenly slipped from her
grasp and fell to the floor, where it
hit a mouse and killed it.
All hunters are well aware of the
slight blow necessary to dislocate a
rabbits neck and the comparatively
heavy piece of jewelry in striking
the small rodent beside Miss McIn-
tyres chair, had the same effect.

Mr.. Summers was asked about the
chances of improving the road, and
he seemed to think the State Roads
Commission would soond r or later
make some changes in various places.
The temporary bridge at the head of
the Peachblossom needs attention,
and the road at this particular place
has been surveyed with the idea of
Strengthening it.
But there is still lot to do before
the road is equal to the heavy traffic
of the present. Trucks which for
merly came to Easton by the old route
are now seen traversing the Trappe
road, and scores of other trucks are
seen daily on this narrow and crook
ed road. Very often automobiles
are forced off the road, and if the
shoulders are wet accidents occur
very often.
Since the above two more accidents
have been reported on this road due,
it is said, to the narrow pavement,
and the curves.

EASTON-TRAPPE ROAD
RECORDS MANY ACCIDENTS

Every weekend since the new
bridge across the Choptank River
opened there has been one or more
bad accidents on the road leading to
Trappe. This past weekend was no
exception when car ran up bank
and struck pole. The road is mar
row and crooked, and as the traffic
has tripled since the new bridge was
opened, accidents can be expected
until something is done to improve the
highway.

It's holiday where the mountains meet
the sea, for on. the Riviera stocks and
bonds and overhead are paltry things
Leisurely Nice does nothing to dis
turb this feeling OF contented ease.
II you see two people talking and
they are sitting down, the chances
are that two hours later you'll find
them where they were.
You can be sure, however, that they
have not discussed the weather. That's
another distinction the Riviera has.
No one discusses the weather. even O.
an Introductory remark In conversa-
ton.
Newcomers Talk Weather.
"You can always tell q newcomer to
the Riviera" post card seller told
us. Hell say something about the
weather. After he has been here
while he learns the weather In Nice
is too constantly the same to make
conversation. But there's substitute.
It's the mistral."
And what Is the mistral?'
Thats the northwest wind that
comes sweeping down across France.
North of the Alps it is usually neg
ligible. But the Alps interfere with 1t
and defiect it over to the valley of the
Rhone River. the only exit through the
Alps to reach the sea. Thus, escaping
like steam through Q valve, 1t gains
increased force and that is the wind
that sweeps the Riviera, except in cer-
tain spots that are protected by an
irregular shore line. 1t is nothing to
have q 60-mile- e-an-hour mistral in
Midsummer. 1t isn't always . cold
wind, Of course. but it's very gusty.
Sometimes it feels like hot air of q
furnace whipped along at . mile-a-
minute gait"
The post card seller got no further.
Evening star., 1936-11-23

for at that moment the mistrai had
seen At to whip up demonstration.
Before the shopkeeper could get out
side and to the rescue, two display
racks had been denuded Of their post
cards. Halt an hour later there was
no mistral at al. No wonder people
like to talk about II. It's as uncertain
as bridge game or horse race.
In between mistrals We decided to
visit the beach, or, as 1t Is known In
France, the 'plage." It had disturbed
US that people seemed to prefer sitting
around in their bathing suits to plung-
ing In the water. Very soon we found
out why. rti ~ ~
Before then we had begun to figure
out q theory about the Riviera sun
burn we had witnessed. It had o
kind Of orange tinge. Could that be
due, we wondered, to q combination
Of sunburn and windburn? We never
found out but It did make good mis-
tral conversation.
Tip-toeing barefoot out of the bath
house at the Ruhl PLACE, we felt ter
ribly conspicuous, not having orange
brown sunburned shoulders. But the
girl ahead Of US didn't seem to mind
the stares and she was rather pale

gingerly making our way over the
rocks down to the water
Beaches Are Of Rocks.
That Is one thing about Riviera
beaches. They're made of rocks
rocks varying in size from q hen egg
down. There's q sand beach for
tenderfeet at Cannes but most of the
coast line Is as rockbound as any coast
Of Maine. They continue right on
down and into the water.
Surviving bombardment Of rocks
against your feet and ankles, you find
the Mediterranean makes one of the
finest swimming places in the world
just cold enough to be inyigorating
and salt enough 50 you feel buoyant,
