Golf Committee Preparing To
Open Municipal Course

The golf committee of the City
Council reported this morning that
efforts were being made to have the
municipal golf course in condition for
official opening on May l, but if the
weather was unfavorable, the opening
would be on May Is.
Several golf enthusiasts have been
out on the course already knocking
the balls around the fairways, but the
course has not been completely rolled
and the green's are not ready for play
as yet.
The golf committee was of the opin-
ion that the fees would probably be the
same as last year. Nothing definite has
been decided yet on turning over the
course to a private committee with a
guarantee of six per cent interest to
the town on its investment.

PIN-BALL MACHINES ARE
OUTLAWED AFTER APRIL &c
Between 100 and $50 Machines
Said To Be In Use In County

Between 100 and $50 pin ball ma
chimes and other games of "skill' in
Garrett county, which have been alb
sorbing quite a quantity of nickels
from people in all walks of life for
the past two years, under a special
act Of the 1897 legislature, will be lille
gal, under a new law passed by the
1889 legislature, at midnight, April
80.
The reason they absorbed such a
quantity of nickels was because of the
occasional payment made to those VINO
played them. The anticipation Of
hitting the Jackpot, even though
mathematicians have pointed out that
the chances are mighty slim, seemed
to keep the machines busy.
But after midnight, April 80, any
person operating, owning or having
any interest in any Of these machines
in the State of Maryland will be sub
ject to prosecution by the States au-
thorities and confscation of the de-
vices, according to the new law.
The former law relating to gaming
tables, Maryland Code of Public Cen
eral Laws, Article 27, sections 244 to
259 inclusive will be the rules and reg
ulations to go by, since Section 23A,
providing for the licensing of~pin ball
machines expires.

Bids For Bridge At Barnum

Delegations about the bridge over
the Potomac river at Barnum, W. Va,
will probably cease to call upon the
County Commissioners at their future

for construction of an 85-foot span
steel pony truss bridge, to replace the
one that has been condemned by the
Commissioners for several years, at
that point.
A delegation of people from that
section have called upon the Commits
sioners upon numerous occasions, and
nothing definite could be promised,
the construction depending upon the
Roads Commission.
The specifications call for a four
teen foot clear roadway. Bids will
be opened publicly on May 9, at the
Commissions office in Baltimore.

THIEVES GET QUANTITY OF
GOODS AT TABLE ROCK INN
Merchandise And Cash Amount
ing to $3.50 Stolen Sunday
Morning

Robbers gained entrance to Table
Rock Inn, on Route so, about three
miles east of Red House, early last
Sunday morning and removed mer-
chandise and cash amounting to APP
proximately $3.50.
Entrance to the building was gained
by breaking the glass in the door of
the basement. Kodak films, cigarets
and other forms of tobacco, razor
blades and other articles, in addition to
a quantity of pennies and nickels and
a slot machine were evidently loaded
into an automobile without awakening
any of those living there or any of the
guests.
Charles w. Ream, owner of the Inn,
said that there had been banquet at
the Inn on Saturday night and that
his employees had not retired until
after one o'clock. The robbery was
thought to have occurred around three
or four o'clock Sunday morning.
The slot machine was later found
near the Sunnyside school house, COM
pletely demolished.
Authorities were notified, but no ar
rests have been made as yet
A thief also entered the garage of
Paul Welch at Gortner and disconnec5-
ed the gas tank from his large school
bus and carried it away. The tank has
a capacity of 10 gallons and at the
time it was stoden it contained about
four gallons. This piece of thievery
also occurred on Saturday night or
Sunday morning. No clue as to the
identity of the guilty person has been
discovered.
Automobile Stolen
An Oldsmobile car was stolen from
in front Of Leighton's Garage on
Third street last Friday night. The
automobile was found by Pennsylva-
MIA State policemen at camp ground
near Uniontown and was identified by
the dealers tags on the car. The ma
chine was completely ruined as the
thief or thieves had driven the car
the distance from Oakland to the point
where it was found without water in
the radiator.

PARIS, March 3.-Election of
Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli as Pope
Plus XII finds the French people
united for the first time in many
years in rejoicing at the victory of
this friend of French democracy
French reactionaries as we'll as
French Liberals and Socialists well
come his election The former see
the new Pope primarily friend of
France, and the latter find him an
enemy of Fascism.
The French believe that Plus XII
was elected primarily because he
will follow the anti-Fascist line
taken during the last years by his
predecessor. 1t IS stated today that
Pacelli as cardinal secretary of
state, read to the cardinals in con-
clave the late Pope Plus XI's dying
testament. or undelivered address,
in which he is believed to have i'm
plored the church fathers to con-
tinue the struggle against totali-
tartan heresy. Some even believe
that this reading was what decided
the College of Cardinals to choose
Pacelli in the third ballot yesterday.

Cardinal O'Connell was wearing
the scarlet robe prescribed for these
rites
"The holy father" he said, "is

By Gable to The Star.

LONDON, March 3.-The election
of Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli as Pope
is greeted with extraordinary ac-
claim and sympathy in England.
Probably never since the Reforma-
ton, students of English religious
life believe, has papal election been
followed with such sympathy and
such clear manifestation of satis-
faction in its result.
Newspapers of almost all shades
OF opinion play up the election as
a vltally important event - and
emphasis, phrased in many different
words, Is on the victory which has
been won for democracy as against
totalitarianism.
Cites Philosophy of Plus XII.
"Pius XII followed the text render
unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars and unto God the things
which are Gods which is the foun-
dation of all Catholic political phil
osophy," says an editorial in the
London Times today.
His insistence that the duties of
the Christian citizen to his rulers
were limited by higher spiritual
allegiance, his hostility to the deili-
cation of the absolute state and to
modern racial doctrines won him
a prestige that extended far be-
yond the limits of his own flock"
Plus XII while still cardinal
solemnly condemned PHILOSOPHERS
'obsessed with the superstition of
blood or by that of race :. the
prayers of his flock and many
Christians who do not recognize his
religious sovereignty will go with
him in the great task he has as
sumed"
Left Shares Satisfaction.
1t is striking that the newspapers
left of center, who believe in a much
more virile democracy than usually
guides the London Times, share this
fortnight satisfaction.
The Manchester Guardian Leader
says: 'In electing Pacelli supreme
pontiff . . the conclave has shown
more wisdom than the phophets.' -
which is an allusion to certain
phophecies that the next Pope would
be a sanity but simple man, mex
perienced in the political scene.
