Miniature Tornado At
Olney Damages Trees

The little village of Olney was
visited last night by small
tornado, which left in it's wake up
rooted trees, unroofed outbuildings
and tangled electric light and tele-
phone wires.
In several ways it was a peculiar
storm. Evidently the wind swept
down from the skies and darted at
the village cutting a narrow swath
and venting its fury before it had
gone quarter of mile.
No one was hurt and, outside of
the lovely old trees, no property
damage of any consequence ap-
peared to suffer.
Several of the largest shade
trees in Olney were torn from the
ground. Others were broken off or
shorn of their major branches.
Chicken houses owned by Ferguson
Barnsley were damaged.

Town Council Is
Backing Annapolis
Fight For Offices
Mayor Blandford And His Con-
freres Favor Real Seat
Of Government

Mayor Douglas M. Blandford and
his associates on the Rockville Town
Council have written Mayor Lewis
Phipps, Of Annapolis, backing his
stand for new State Office building.
Mayor Blandford and members Of thu
council yesterday said they believed
Annapolis is the place to erect new
State buildings, inasmuch as the town
is the capital of Maryland and more
over enjoys rich historical heritage.
Recently, there has been an argu-
ment between the officials of Balti-
more and those of Annapolis regard
ing the future plans for the location
of State governmental machinery. It
has gone SO far that petitions have
been circulated on both sides, for and
against the measure, which awaits the
signature of Governor Harry w. Nice.
The letter to Mayor Phipps follows:
May "a, 1887
Hon. Lewis Phipps, Mayor
Annapolis, Maryland.
Dear Sir:-
We have read in the newspapers
with great deal of interest about the
fight you are making for the City of
Annapolis to be the real seat of gov
eminent of the State of Maryland and
of the opposition that the city of
Baltimore is placing in the way Of
your plan. We feel that you are right
in your position and we wish to con-
graduate you on the fight that you
are we wish to congratulate you on
the fight that you are making and ex-
press our hope that you will be sue
cessful.
If the Mayor and Council Of Rock
vile can do anything to help you to
attain your objective, we will be glad
t do SO and as your city has been
designated the Capital of the State
of Maryland we feel it should be so,
not only in theory but in fact.
Again wishing you success in your
endeavoring and with kindest personal
l am,
Very truly yours,
Douglas M. Blandford,
Mayor.

Young Democrats
OF Montgomery To
Ask Recognition
Will Demand Changes In Rep
resentation At Salisbury
May 29th

The United Young Mems Democra-
tic Clubs of Montgomery County plan
to carry their fight for changes in
the representation of the Counties in
tho governing bodies of the Young
Democrats of Maryland to the Floor
of the Convention Of the State Orga.
nization to be held in Salisbury on the
2sth of May.
At the last State convention, held in
Baltimore last year, the resolution of
the Montgomery County delegation to
place all representation on the basis
of that of the Maryland Legislature
was not reported from the resolutions
committee, but the committee con-
trolled by the Present Governing
Body from Baltimore City did sign a
promise to use their influence in the
State body to call constitutional
convention to taken up this matter
of more equal distribution of the
governing power, comparable to the
Democratic form Of representation in
this State.
The Montgomery County delegation
now points out that this promise has
never been kept and that their club
has instructed them to find out why
the unfair discrimination against the
Counties cannot be halted. They point
out that the present allotment OF
power is undemocratic and is a SER
ious drawback to the effective work
of the State Organization and reflects
back to the Counties and hampers
local effectiveness.
The Montgomery County Delegation
states that they have received the
pledged support of several of the 9th
er counties of the State as well as the
support of certain representation of
the City of Baltimore. They are re-
questing and seeking the support of
all of the counties to the end that that
clean, fair and intelligent leadership,
typical Of the young leaders of the
Nation today be made vital factor
In the forthcoming development of a
stronger and more unified Democratic
party throughout the entire State.

Council wish to welcome these new
corners into the Town of Rockville.
We have had considerable difficulty
in getting the approaches to the
new bridge placed so that the people
on both sides Of the railroad win
not be interfered with, but we hope
that this matter will finally be salts
factoriiy adjusted to the benefit OF
all parties concerned.
This year we took up the matter
of some reduction in the toll rates
on the telephone between Rockville
and Washington and in February
succeeded in having a lower rate
installed. This has been a busy
year for the Town and we feel that
it has progressed on solid ground
and financially is in a very strong
position"

numerous growers, it is said, decid-

the grapes to the city markets at
the low prices. Willard Parsons
owns a farm, south of Dover where
he grows grapes. Parsons did not
know that it was illtgal to make
wine without permit. He not only
made some of his grapes into wine
for himself but also for some of
his neighbors. He was indicted
for unlawful possession of alcoholic
liquors and pleaded guilty to the
charge. In view of the circum-
stances and the fact that Parsons
has an excellent reputation the
court fined him but $50 which he

TO CUT SHORE
TRAIN SERVICE
Chestertown and Contreville
May Be Deprived of R. r.
Pas,senger-Mail Service
COMPANY LOSING MONEY

Officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in Chestertown Thursday
of last week to confer with postal
officials, indicated positively that
application has been made to the
Public Service Commission to elm
mate entirely the railroad passeng-
er and mail service to and from
Chestertown, Md, and all inter
mediate stations on the local line.
There is every indication that the
railroad will endeavor to eliminate
passenger service on the Centre
vile and Easton branches as well
as the Chestertown route. Says
the Chestertown Kent News: "Col.
Whitlock, General superintendent
of the P. B. & w. r. R., and Mr..
r. K. Vought, Superintendent of
the Delmarva Division, Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, were the officers
who visited Chestertown, Md, last
Thursday and stated that it is the
desire of the company to discon-
tinue the railroad service to Ches-
tertown, Md, and Massey, Md.
These officials, it is said, claim that
the company has averaged a loss
of $1,000 per month in the opera
tion of the passenge, mail and milk
trains on this line. While the rail-
road passenger trains have meant
little to travellers, the elimination
of those trains will necessitate
changes in the delivery of parcel
post to Kent county, Md, will cause
the milk stations to find other
means of transporting milk and
will force the railroad company to
carry all express by truck, or on
the freight trains which will be
continued here. Chief Clerk G. B.
Springer, of the U. S. Railway Mail
Service, is expected in Chestertown
shortly to go into the subject of
truck mail service as a substitute
for the railroad. The biggest prob
lem is expected to be the handling
of parcel post.
