Negroes are expected TO cast

$4,000 votes to be nominated 10

cause Of the larger total vote
about $4,000 votes will be

Thus, observers believe, the
Negro vote, in itself, is not
sufficient to elect DR.. Hender-
son but it is highly important
to DR.. Haddoek who presum-
ably can count on all Of 1t plus
his own following among white
voters. He was on the city
council from 1851 to 1855 and
served a two-year term as
Mayor.

The National Civil War Centen-

pressed satisfaction that Maryland
has become the first state to is

In a public announcement fol-
lowing a meeting of the Maryland
Historical society in Baltimore on
October 81, Governor J. Willard
Tawes called the attention of the
American people to the importance
of the battle of Antietam and said
he hoped the general public would
make plans to attend when it was
re-enacted in 1862.
In a little more than year the

Readers Recall Old
Postoffice Pictured

Last weeks old picture, which
showed a postoffice and general
store near Oakland some 40 years
ago, and which was published with
out identification, soon brought re.
Spouse from readers who recalled
the scene.
Il remember the building well,
and Mrs. Peder E. Baasland, for
l got my first love letter there
She correctly pinpointed the build
ing as the Sines postoffice, the
picture having been taken in 1919
The photograph was supplied by
Mrs. Roger Tower, of Deep Greek
Village.
AT the time construction of Deep
Creek Lake had not been begun
and indeed was hardly contem-
plated.
Oscar Sincs, now living nearby
said he went to housekeeping in
that house 25 years ago.

The picture today will take you
back some years further-tO 1911
it is believed, when the corner
stone of the Pythian Castle in Oak
land was laid. According to Harry
Stemple. who submitted the photo
graph. the smart team of horses
was owned by Alvey Kelley, who
at the time, operated a livery
stable adjacent to the former Man
haitian Hotel.
On the drivers seat is Mr.. Kel-
lev. and standing beside the car
riage is George w. Loughridge
whose house on Third Street is
pictured in the immediate back
ground Standing at the head O
the team is Tom Martin, the opera
tor of another livery stable, then
on the corner of Third and Oak
streets. who was probably enVious
of MI. Keiley's fortune in securing
the K. of P. carriage business. II
the rear seat are Grand Lodge of
ficers from Baltimore.
Mr.. Loughridge's daughter, Mrs
Nettie Thrasher. now occupies the
building and operates a gift shop
there. The picture was taken some
time after 1904, since the Pritcharo
building, where The Maryland
Theatre, or Pythian Building now
stands. is not in evidence. The
Pritchard building was destroyed
by fire about 1904 and also caught

train engineer, Otto Droege, &c, of
Cumberland.
Other committee recommends
tions included the use of safety
patrolmen in each bus, the possible
, use of safety gasoline tanks" in
buses, the possible elimination of
railroad grade crossings, and the
appointment of a state supervisor
of transportation to administer
pupil transportation programs.
The Investigators said the train
was proceeding at so miles per
hour, the speed limit for that sec
ton of track, shortly before the ac-
cident and had slowed to 35 miles
per hour when it hit the bus.
Interviews with the engineer and
his fireman, Edgar L. H0llCn, 80,
of Cumberland, indicated that
when they came around curve, 2
700 feet west of the crossing, did
not at first notice the bus, but
when they did notice the bus there
was some discussion as to whether
the bus was moving the State
Police report said
When they realized that the bus
had stopped, the engineer immcdi-
ately threw his train into emer-
gency, applying his air brakes,
which also automatically shuts off
the power to the motors of the
diesel engines"
The investigators found that rail-
road lights and a warning bell at
the crossing were not in opera
alton when the bus stopped at the
crossing, but were set off after it
stalled on the track and the train
approached with 2,250 feet. 1t is
at this point that the train enters
the electric circuit actuating the
warning lights and bells.
Unable To Start Bus
After making several unsuccesS-
full attempts to start the bus and
the railroad warning apparatus went
into operation, the State Police re-
port said. the driver Immediately
got off his bus and was heard to
tell the 81 children to get off the

List No Violations
In Fatal Bus Mishap

A special committee investigat-
ing the train-bus accident of Sep
TENDER 10 which killed seven
school pupils at the Mt. Lake Park
crossing reported Saturday it had
found no law violation.
But the committee set up by
Gov. J. Willard Tawes made 18 rec
concentrations which it said might
help avert similar tragedies in
the future.
Besides those killed, IL other
pupils we're injured when the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad pas
senger train, running five minutes
behind schedule crashed into the
stalled school bus at the Park
crossing.
The bus driver, Leroy Allen
Campbell, 40. of Deer Park. and
nine pupils escaped serious in
jury.
One of the recommendations of
the committee, headed by Chair
man John B. Funk, of the State
Roads commission, was that school
buses be equipped with revolving
type flashing lights or dome
flashers' to be used in such emer-
gencies State police said the train
engineer and firemen, when they
rounded curve and first spotted
the bus, were not certain whether
it was stalled or moving.
Another recommendation calls
for a Sufficient number of bus
drills to insure automatic eVacu-
alton on the part of pupils" Eye
witnesses said after the accident
there had been some confusion
among the pupils and brief jam
at the front bus door may have
prevented some from escaping be-
fore the train hit.
Neither the special committee re-
port nor a separate State Police
probe incorporated into the com
mittoc report pinpointed the cause
OF the bus stall.
Eui The committee said school
buses should stay III starting gear
until they are ciea. of the railroad
crossing" and steps should be
ttken TO Climirt te uneven road
conditions over crossings"
Unusually rough roads over rail-
road tracks increase the possibility
of buses sailing" the report noted.
It ruled out faulty equipment as
possible cause cf the accident.
Investigation revealed that bus,
train and railroad equipment were
in first class operating condition
and that both the engineer and the
bus operator had recently passed
physical examination indicating
they were physically fit to perform
the duties they were assigned it
said.
Other recommendations

bus as there was possibility that
it would be struck by the train"
From 10 to IL of the children
were able to get off. Witnesses also
indicate that the driver was on the
ground and at one time ran to the
rear of the bus, for what reason it
is not clearly known.
However, one young witness
stated that he believed that the
bus driver waved his hands in a
stop motion to the engineer of the
train.
I'VE do know that one of the
young girls alighting from the bus
fell in the tracks and the bus driver
ran over, picked her up and car
ried her out of the way. About
that time the train struck the left
rear of the bus"
