FIRE DESTROYS HOME OF
FRANK WESTLAKE FRIDAY
Origin OF Blaze Uncertain AS
Dwelling Was UnOccupied

The whereabouts of Frank West
lake, Oakland east-end resident, was
a problem to members of the Oakland
Volunteer Fire Department and his
neighbors as the result of fire at
1:20 last Friday morning, which de-
stroyed his home in East Oakland. It
was feared that he might have been
trapped within the building. Westlake,
however, appeared in Oakland early
Saturday morning, having returned
from trip to New Philadelphia, o.,
where he was visiting his sister, Mrs.
George McGraw.
The entire two-story frame dwell
ing was ablaze when the fire depart
ment was called, and the flames were
not brought under control until they
had destroyed the interior. Only the
outer shell of the house remains.
Several members of the fire depart
ment raked the ashes of the structure
the day following the fire, fearing that
his body may have been buried under
the debris.
The cause of the fire was not de-
termined. Mr.. Westlake, II years of
age, lived alone. He is a man with but
one arm, the other member having
been injured when he was young, me-
cessitating its ampuptation. Members
CT the fire department stated there
was possibility that it had been of
incendiary origin, as the fire seemed
to spread too rapidly under ordinary
conditions. Another theory was ad-
vanced that the fire burned slowly
until it had gone through the entire
interior before bursting through the
windows and doorways. There was a
heavy fog the night of the fire which
would have made its discovery earlier
rather difficult.
The house was insured for $4,000
and the furniture was covered by in
surance in the amount of $1,000.

CAMERA ENTHUSIASTS TO
VISIT OAKLAND SUNDAY
Special Train Will Bear Visitors
From Baltimore And Wash
ing-TOur Is Planned
LOCAL CITIZENS TO AID

Amateur camera enthusiasts will be
given an opportunity to record some
rare pictures Of nature at its best
atop the Alleghanies on Sunday, Oc-
tober3. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road is going to run an "Autumn-Leaf
Camera train" on that day from Balti-
more, Washington and intermediate
points.
Frost has already touched the land
scape with bright colors and some of
the more enthusiastic photographers
are exeptcing to take their color films
with them, according to officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio.
On May %, the B. & o. ran the first
camera special in the country, when
more than 500 photo fans made trip
from Pittsburgh to Mount Jewett, Pa,
and return.
The special on Sunday will leave
Baltimore at 1885 a. M; Washington,
$40 a. M, and will arrive at Oakland
at 100 p. m. Detraining at Oakland,
the excursionists will be taken on a
30-nlile sightseeing trip by local cit
liens, through the Harrington Manor
section, past the 55-acre lake now I'M
der construction there, along the shore
of Deep Creek Lake, down to Muddy
Creek and Swallow Falls, in the Mary
1ouJ Eoroef pocor1no Tho eoao;o1 4,o;,,
will have a diner both ways. Return
ing the train will leave Oakland at
$50 p. m.
The autumn-leaf train was ar
ranged through negotiations with B.
& o. officials by Mayor Lawrence M.
Fraley. A similar excursion was plan
ned last year but had to be called off
because of the lateness of the season.
The excursion is being widely adj
vertised by the railroad company.
Efforts are being made to convert
this section into a veritable sports
mans paradise. Besides its summer
charms, it is also being thought of as a
possible winter playground where such
sports as skating, hockey, skiing and
tobogganing may be enjoyed.
Four Hundred Expected
Mayor Fraley received word yes
terday from Baltimore and Ohio Off
Gals stating that it was extremely
difficult to estimate the number of
persons expected, but judging from in
quiries that had been received, and the
publicity given the event in Baltimore
and Washington, it was likely that
400 persons may be on the excursion
train when it stops in Oakland.
Because of this Mayor Fraley is
urging those who have not already
done so, to offer the use of their auto
mobiles for that afternoon so that all
visitors may be taken care of in Gar
rett county's usual hospitable manner.

AS GOOD" BY INSPECTOR
Some Jails In State In DeplOrable
Condition, He States in Report

Howard G. Hill, prison inspector for
the State Board of Welfare, has said
"some jails lin Maryland) are so la
mentally bad x x that common de-
cency and self-interest of the commun-
ity cry out for some radical changes"
Hill told the board his thirteenth an
nual county Jail inspection showed six
jails in the class A, or excellent group,
while four are in class D, or "unsatis-
factory"
Jails in Wicomico, Montgomery, AL
legany, Dorchester and Washington
counties received the grade A rating.
Those in Garrett, Prince Georges,
Frederick, Anne Arundel, Carroll and
Hartford counties drew class B, or good
ratings.
In Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne's,
Charles, Somerset, st. Mary's and
Worcester counties the lock-ups were
only "fair." Those in Howard, Kent,
Calvert and Cecil counties were class
D, or unsatisfactory.
Food conditions in the jails are
found generally satisfactory, Hill re-
ported. His comment on the Garrett
county Jail was as follows:
Conditions x referred
to last year had been remedied and the
Jail generally was clean and in good
condition. This Jail compares
favorably with some of the better
jails of the State. xxx
