Seal Sale Returns
Increased In State

The final returns of the 1871 Seal
Sale were released by the Maryland
tuberculosis Association and show
for the State as whole on increase
over the past year of 21.5 per cent.
The total in the State was $118,066.28.
The counties furnished $49,228.78 and
Baltimore City S69,066.5O.
Garrett county's total was $453.49
and was one of seven counties to show
decrease over 1910 sales.
In order to increase the Associa-
tons program emphasis has been
placed upon cquipping various clinics
with modern X-ray machines. For use
in the counties six new mobile units
have been purchased which can be
transported from place to place and
used to X-ray any part of the body as
well as the chest.
The Association was formed in 1904
as a volunteer group and is financed
through the annual sale Of Christmas
seals, At the present time it is pre-
pairing for its annual educational cam
paign during April, which is known
as the carly diagnosis campaign.

Cumberland Man
Wins $500 Suit
At Hagerstown
Negro Chauffeur Gets Big
Verdict for Loss of Arm
In Accident

William Harris, of Cumberland, 20
year-old negro chauffeur for former
State Senator William A. Gunter, was
awarded damages of $500 Wednes-
day, by a Washington county circuit
court jury for injuries suffered in an
automobile-t truck collision last July 81.
The jury returned the verdict
against Harve Mustard, Oakland pro-
duce dealer, after celebrating less
than an hour. The damage award was
described as the largest made in a
personal injury suit in the Hagers-
town court in the past ten years.
Harris suffered the loss of his left
arm when his car was sideswiped on
U. S. Route 220 by a truck owned by
Mustard and operated by Albert E.
Brown
1t was brought out in the testimony
that Brown, who was at large for
several months after the accident,
pleaded guilty in trial magistrates
court mere ldSI illOllIll W ii CIldI SC VI
leaving the scene Of an accident and
was fined $780, 1t was also shown that
within twenty minutes after the crash
in which Harris was injured Brown
struck a parked car in Keyser, later
paying a $25 fine there on a similar
/ charge.
The case was originally docketed in
Garrett county, then moved here on
motion of counsel for Harris. 1t was
subsequently removed for trial to
Hagerstown on the petition of defense
counsel.
The trial occupied the entire day
Tuesday and part of Wednesday,.
Counsel for the plaintiff included
/ Lewis NJ. Wilson, of Cumberland;
/ Walter w. Dawson, of Oakland, and
Omar T. Kaylor, of Hagerstown. De
Tense attorneys were William R. Of
futt, of Oakland, and Robert Nc
CauIey, of Hagerstown.

To Stock Streams
With 10000 Trout

Some 10000 trout are to be stocked
in Garrett and Allcgany county
streams this year and about 10000
of them will be large as a result of
having been held over in the Bear
Greek hatchery for two years, accord
ing to Fulchcr P. Smith, of the Mary
land State Game and Fish Commits
sion.
All trout which are reared at Bear
Creek are stocked in the two western
counties. The average production at
Bear Creek has been about $4,000 but
the number last year was cut about
1000 as a result of disease in the
pools This year fully $4,000 will be
stocked from Bear creek, the condi-
ton which caused the 1871 loss having
been corrected by construction of a
new supply dam with proper conduits
Smith reported
This work, together with rebuild
ing of one of the pools, cost the de-
partmcnt several thousand dollars. A
fish-saving move has been made with
the purchase of now truck with an
acration unit which permits fish to
be delivered to the streams without
the losses that formerly occurred as a
result of long hauls and hot weather.
The stocking program is financed
out of the fishing license fees with the
department receiving only nincty-five
cents out of each SIPS license fee. On
an average it costs thirty cents to
place a lceal-sizcd trout in streams.
All of the warden-policing of trout
waters is paid for by game depart
ment funds-not by fishing license
fees, Mr.. Smith said.

Tearing Up Of Track Postponed
In Order For Coal Operators
To Fulfill Existing Contracts

In order that coal mine operators
using the Confluence and Oakland
Railroad as a means of transporting
their output to the market and thus
fulfill existing contracts, an order has
been issued delaying the demolition of
that road until April first, according
to information from a reliable source
The original plan was to Immediately
remove the rails and ties from the bed
of the road following the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, Diminishing the petition of the
Mccullough Coal Corpoation and the
Maryland Public Service Commission
which sought to prevent the abandon
ment of the 20-mile line of road in
Garrett county and Pennsylvania, re-
quested by the War Department to ia
cilitate construction of a fiood-contrOl
project,
While the main line Of the road re-
mains intact at present, side tracks
at Friendsville and at other points
along the route have been torn up and
the material entering into their con-
struction hauled away.
The road was built primarily more
than fifty years ago to transport lum-
Der and forest products from the sec
ton served by it. he original inten.
ton, as the name implies, was to con
struct the railway into Oakland, but
for some reason this was abandoned
the southern terminal being at Ken
dali, a few miles up the river from
Friendsville.
During the life Of the line Harry J
Black has been connected with the
road as agent at Friendsville, where he
has commodious home and with the
abandonment of the road he will re.
tire from active life and remain {
resident of Friendsville.
