Town Approves Plan
For Golf Club House
And Requests Project
Makes Application For WPA
Project Covering It's Con-
StructiOn

The plan of the proposed club
house at the municipal golf course
was approved at a meeting of the
members of the City Council and
local Golf committee, at the council
chamber on Tuesday evening and an
application was made for WPA pro
Ject covering construction of the
building, it was announced.
The project is made out for S9,973,
with the Federal goveI nment furnish
ing $6,314 or 69.6 percent, and the
sponsor furnishing $2,759 or 30.4 per-
cent. The project was considered more
than would be necessary, as one item
alone for grading and landscaping
was estimated at 81 $50. 1t was stated
the project would not cost the town
more than the $1,000 originally
planned several weeks ago.
Other estimates were $2,574 for I'M
skilled labor, 1896 for intermediate
labor, and $1,556 for skilled labor
making total for labor of S5,O66.
Superintendent was estimated at
$606; equipment, $697; material and
supplies, $2,604; other costs, $1OO.
The blueprints show that the build
ing will be 40 by so. In the basement
there will be lockers, showers, toilets,
etc, for men and ladies. On the first
floor will be a lobby 25 by 20 feet,
with 7-foot porches on each side and
10-foot porch on the front. There
will also be sun-deck above the
porches.
The project will go to WPA head
quarters for consideration. The spon-
sor's share of funds will be shared by
the golf club and the city council.
Practically all of the clubs share of
$500 has been subscribed, it is said.

Spring Will Make
Its Debut Today

Spring will make it's debut today, at
least, astronomically speaking. 1t will
make its appearance at 1921 p. M,
Eastern Standard Time, according to
the almanacs.
Whether or not Garrett countians
are conscious of it depends a lot on
the March wind.
The same March wind brought this
county one of the worst storms of the
year the first three days of this week,
in spite of the thaw and spring like
weather that prevailed three days pre-
vious.
Although the wind did not approach
in ferocity it's 80-mile- an-hour velocity
in the midwest, it was enough to
make it the most disagreeable storm
of the year with temperatures around
the zero mark, and two or three inch
,es of snow which piled into huge
drifts on highways. School busses
were delayed and few did not reach
school at all. Those that did were sent
back at noon so that all children could
reach home safely before dark.
The high wind and drifting snow
all but closed the highway around the
Cove section but the rotary plows got
to work and cleared the narrow lanes
there. 1t began to moderate Wednes-
day under clear skies but the wind
continued to keep the temperature
down. Moderation continued today
with forecast of warmer weather over
the weekend.

DEMOCRATS IN
QUANDARY ON
BYRON VACANCY
Many Factors Must Be COnsid'
cred In Nominating Successor;
Widow Plans Fight For Post

A staff correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun, writing to his paper from
Cumberland under date of Monday,
March II, contributed the following
relative to the political condition now
confronting the voters of the Sixth
Congressional District brought about
by the tragic death of Congressman
William d. Byron, killed in an airplane
accident recently.
The Sun writer said;
Against a background of complete
Indifference on the part of the electo-
rate, Democratic politicians of the
Sixth Congressional District, faced by
problem new to them, are watching
the maneuvers of a lady and the atti-
tude of organized labor before they in
dorse candidate to succeed Repre-
sentative William Byron, killed re-
Gently in an airplane crash.
The lady is the widow of the Con-
gresham, Mrs. Catherine Byron, the
mother Of a large family of young
children, who remains established in
an elaborate mansion in suburban
Washington to which the family
moved from Williamsport.
If Mrs. Byron has her way she not
only will continue to live in the man
sion but will occupy her husbands seat
in Congress for the remainder of the
term he started January l.
In Fight To Stay
Within a few hours after Mr.. By
ron's death, Mrs. Byron let it be known
that she was a candidate to succeed
her husband. Over the weekend she
reiterated this and emphasized she is
in the fight to stay.
However, survey of the counties
in the district-Garrett, Allegany,
Washington, Frederick and Montgonl-
ery-failed to disclose any particular
support for Mrs. Byron, except John
j. McMullen, of Cumberland, son of a
former Democratic leader of Allie
gany county, who also has aspirations
to leadership and Congress, according
to his friends.
Mr.. McMullen's support, it was
learned, is based largely on reports
from different women's circles and on
his friendship for Representative
Byron.
Where Lewis Stands
AS matters stand today, Mrs. By
ron's only opponent-an unannounced
candidate who has the support of the
Democratic leaders of the districts
former Representative David J. Lew
is, incumbent of a job furnished by
President Roosevelt after he was de-
feated in Senatorial primary by
Senator Tydings.

Garrett County Snow
Becomes Matter For
Maryland Legislators

Snow became a Legislative matter
for Maryland's lawmakers, being
termed real problem, whether man
made or wind-made.
Senator Clifford Friend introduced
bill adding to the state road laws
that "in removing snow from the
highways of Garrett county the en-
ployes of the State Roads Commission
shall use due care to avoid completely
blocking entrances to private homes
and businesses adjacent to the high
way"
kitzmiller Bill Passes
The mayor of Kitzmiller would
serve a two-year term and six coun-
cilmen four-year terms, under a
measure passed by the Senate and
sent to the House on Tuesday.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Friend, would set the election in Feb
ruary, 1912, and call for the election
of a tax collector for a two-year term.
1t also would empower the council to
borrow money.
Loan Sought For Election
The Garrett county commissioners
could borrow $4,000 to pay for the
special election required to name a
successor to the late Representative
William D. Byron under a bill intro
duced in the House Tuesday by Dele
gate Martin.
Another bill by Martin would
change from June to October the date
on which the county treasurer is re-
quired to repay borrowed money.
Still another bill by Martin would
repeal existing and now obsolete laws
on cruelty to animals and "hoop poles
and timber" Martin said these mat
tiers were taken care of in statewide
laws making the Garrett county laws
unnecessary.

GOVERNOR WILL
RETAIN SLOAN
AS CHIEF JUDGE
ReappOintment Is Necessary To
Continue Him In Office
Until 1912

Governor Herbert O'Conor said Sat-
urday night in a statement directed to
the General Assembly that he was
pleased to announce it is my inten-
ton" to reappoint Chief Judge D.
Lindley Sloan, Cumberland Repub-
lican, whose term expires later this
year.
An administration backed bill, re-
ducing the number of appeals judges
from eight to six, and giving the jur-
lists purely appellate function, easily
passed the House last week and now is
before the Senate where battle may
develop.
Sloan, as chief judge of the Fourth
Judicial District, which comprises AL
legany, Washington and Garrett coun-
ties, is a member of the Court of APP
peals.
Announces Purpose
with so much attention being TO-
oused upon our judicial SYSTEM" Mr..
O'Conor's statement said, sit occurs
to me that the members Of the legis-
lature might have a right to know
what | propose to do when the present
term of Judge Sloan expires later this
year.
II am pleased to announce that it is
my intention to reappoint Chief Judge
Sloan, which reappointment will be
necessary to continue him in office
until the general election of 1912"
The measure to reorganize the APP
peals court in the form of constitu-
tional amendment, would be voted
upon in the 1912 election.
Judge Sloan has rendered most val
liable service in his fifteen years on
our Court OF Appeals" O'Conor con-
tinucd.
'The experience which he has gained
makes him a valuable member of the
Court, particularly at time when
many SIiollSSo are OCCul ing OIl Jul
appellate tribunal. Therefore, | have
no hesitancy in stating that it is my
determination to tender him the APP
pointment when his present term ex-
pires.
Need Experienced Man
"The fact that Judge Sloan is a Re-
publican has no bearing upon the pres
ent issue. We need on our highest court
men of demonstrated capacity, I'M
questioned integrity and wide exper
fence. Certainly Judge Sloan should
not be disqualified because he happens
to be affiliated with the opposite polit-
ical party.
'If, in considering provisions for re-
organizing the Court of Appeals sys
tenn, the members of the General AS
sembly are interested to know
whether Judge Sloan will be on the
bench at the next election, | am able
to say that his appointment to serve
until that time is now assured, Mr.
O'Conor concluded.

Induction of Alaska's Selective Service Act registrants, originally scheduled for October l5. probably will be delayed several days be- cause classification reports from several isolated communities have not been received. 1t was announe- ed at Territorial Selective Service headquarters today.
 The complete list of Class Al registrants must be reported to the headquarters office here before the number of draftees from each com- munity can be pro-rated, with each community also being allowed reductions in its quotas according to the number of men from the community who already are in the armed forces or in the armed re- serves.
 Following the assignment of quo tas, draftees will be given 10 days notice to report for induction, it
 
 was pointed out, thus eliminating the possibility of the October l5 induction.
 Alaska's overall quota. for the first induction is to be 683, but with 181 men already under arms and sc in the Navy Reserve, the Territory will have to furnish only 472 men under the initial call.
