Bill Seeks End
Information Dept.
Would Be Tied Up With
Economic Development
Hearing Set Today

Representatives of Maryland'S
tourist industry sought yesterday
to slow down bill which would
abolish the Department of Infor-
nation and incorporate its function
in new economic development
agency.
The administration backed bill,
introduced last Friday, was APP
proved by the Ways and Means
committee Wednesday morning
and was to have reached the floor
of the House that afternoon. How
ever Chairman Boone agreed to
hold it up for one more day to
give tourist interests chance to
be heard. The hearing was set for
II o'clock this morning.
TWenty-four persons from various
hotels, motels and other travel
businesses planned to protest the
fast movement of the legislation.
Some were directors of the Mary
land Travel Council.
They expressed fear that the
present functions of promoting
tourist travel would not be carried
out by the new agency. Delegate
Loveless who drafted and spon-
sored the bill at Gov. Tawes' re-
quest, said there was no intention
of cutting back on tourist promo
ton and that they would even find
it expanded under the new Set-up.
The group appeared to be con-
cerned also about what would hap
pen to the departments $4,000
budget when it became absorbed
in the new agency.
The economic devepolment COM
mission would have an initial
budget of S150,00O, Loveless said,
to use toward promoting industrial
expansion in Maryland and recre-
ational activities including travel.
The bills only direct reference to
the Department of Information
calls for abolishing that agency.
Helmuth Heise, president of the
Deep Greek Lake-Garrett County
Promotion council, said his group
was much concerned about the
turn of events and definitely was
opposed to such proposed change.
He pointed out that the bill called
for one director from Western
Maryland, three from Baltimore,
one from Southern Maryland and
one from the Eastern Shore, which
Immediately gave Baltimore the
edge in any proposals. Heise said
the banks and other local groups
we're also opposed. He said they
we're not opposed to economic de-
velopment but wanted travel on an
equal status and not subjugated to
any other kind of development.

WRECK OF SCHOONER
ANNIE E. PIERCE

On February %, 1892, the
Schooner Annie E. Pierce of Som
mers Point, New Jersey, bound fol
Bogue Inlet, North Carolina, from
New Bedford, Massachusetts,, was
beached by her master at a point
two and one-quarter miles south OF
Little Kinnakeet Station (Sixth
DSstrict), North Carolina and the
death of Alonzo Driscoll, the mate
of the vessel, occurred in con-
sequence. AS the schooner came in
to view from seaward through the
rain and mist of that stormy Feb
xuary morning, she was espied by
Il small boy, who called attention
TO her.
At once the keeper saw from the
direction she was steering that the
vessel would soon be aground, and
he made immediate preparations to
render assistance. The adjoining
stations We're spoken to by tele-
phone and in response, the keeper
and crew of the Gull ShoA Station
immediately repaired to the spot
indicated, while the keeper of the
Big Kinnakeet Station came with
horses to assist in hauling the beach
cart.
In about three quarters of ar
hour from the time the vessel was
first seen the three ife-savina
crews were upon the beach near the
vessel, which had stranded about
one hundred and fifty yards out
Operations began forthwith, under
the direction of the keeper of the
Little Kinnakeet Station. Com
snunication was soon established
and in less than an hour the entire
crew were landed with the beach
apparatus, excepting the mate, who
had been killed by a heavy sea be-
fore the vessel had stranded.
1t appears from the testimony OF
Che master that in the forenoon OF
the proceeding day, when off Cape
Henry, Virginia, the weather be-
came thick and the wind came out
from the northeast, increasing to
the force of a gale and creating a
rough sea. The vessel was then
hove to under close-reefed main
sail, and made good weather until
the straps of the main sheet block
suddenly departed, carrying away
the main boom. This unfortunate
accident made it necessary to run
hack down the coast before the
wind, but finding that course clear
of the Hatteras Shoals could not be
made, as the surroundings on the
morning of February % indicated
that current was sweeping the
vessel toward the land, the master
resolved to beach her as a final
means of safety.
The breakers were seen at about
ii o'clock, although the land was
not then visible. Putting the helm
