 Designed as a book of real utility to the newspaper, the 
 artist, and those interested in Maryland affairs. THE 
 BOOK OF MARYLAND has been prepared with a 
 view to meet the demand of newspaper offices for a 
 STANDARD BOOK of reference on representative 
 men and institutions of Maryland. 
 
 Gare has been taken to verify every statement made in 
 the data herein, that it may be depended upon to be his- 
 torically correct. The illustrations are made with a view 
 to their satisfactory reproduction in newspaper work; and 
 the work thus becomes a valuable addition to newspaper 
 libraries, and other places of public interest. It also be- 
 comes valuable historically in keeping future generations 
 advised as to the representative men of Baltimore and the 
 State of Maryland, their accomplishments, as well as giving 
 data of the successful institutions. 
 
GENERAL FELIX AGNUS. 
 
 General Felix Agnus was born in Lyons, France, May 5, 1839. His family traces its lineage 
 back more than a thousand years. His boyhood was in Paris and his early education was at College 
 Jolie Clair, near Montrouge. 
 
 Leaving home in 1852 he spent several years on a voyage that took him to the South Seas, St. 
 Helena, the west coast of Africa, around Good Hope, to the east coast and Madagascar, then across 
 the Indian Ocean, finally arriving upon the Pacific coast of South America, proceeding around 
 Cape Horn and crossing the Atlantic and completing a tour of the world. 
 
 His military career began when Napoleon HI waged war against Austria. He volunteered in 
 the Third Regiment of Zouaves and was in the battle of Montebello. Afterwards he was detailed 
 to a post in the celebrated Flying Guards under Garibaldi. 
 
 When twenty-one years old, in 1860, he came to the United States as chaser and sculptor for 
 Tiffany's in New York. Before he had been long in his new employment the Civil War began, and 
 moved by his military ardor and by his interest in the Union cause he enlisted as a private in Dur- 
 yea's Fifth New York Zouaves. His career thenceforth carried him to a distinguished place in Amer- 
 ican affairs. James G. Blaine, when Secretary of State, said of him in a speech to a public gather- 
 ing, "He is a great Frenchman and a great American, who came to this country with the same zeal 
 that made LaFayette's coming an honor to the land." 
 
 He was made a sergeant in the Zouaves May 9, 1861, and on September 6th of the same year 
 was promoted to second lieutenant for saving the life of Gen. Judson Kilpatrick at Big Bethel. July 
 8, 1862, he was promoted to captain of the 165th New York Infantry; in November of the same year 
 he was made a major. On March 13, 1865, he was breveted lieutenant colonel "for gallant and 
 meritorious services at Gaines Mill." In that battle he was shot through the shoulder. He was 
 made brigadier general of volunteers in 1865. He was in numerous fights. He led the charge at 
 Ashland Bridge, was in the dash at Hanover Court House, was in the storming of the hills near 
 Richmond, and at Port Hudson, where he was a major, he was selected to lead one of the divisions 
 which was known as the "forlorn hope party." In the expedition to Sabine Pass he was on the 
 transport Pocahontas which ran aground under the enemy's guns and which escaped by sending over- 
 board the 120 horses. Major Agnus shot his favorite animal and his example was followed by 
 others. At Fayetteville Major Agnus received a sabre cut in a hand-to-hand fight with a Texas 
 horseman. 
 
 When Duryea's regiment, the Old Fifth New York, was so cut to pieces that its extinction was 
 threatened, Agnus, on a leave of absence, went to New York and secured four companies of recruits. 
 He then rejoined his regiment, which had been ordered to the James River to report to General Grant. 
 Agnus' regiment was detailed for the defense of Washington, and when it marched down Pennsyl- 
 vania Avenue it was reviewed by President Lincoln and Agnus — then a colonel — was greeted by the 
 President and complimented on his troops. Following this was service in the Valley of Virginia, 
 where he joined Sheridan and participated in his brilliant campaign. He was attached to the 
 Nineteenth Corps and was a personal witness of "Sheridan's Ride." When Sheridan started with his 
 cavalry to join Grant in front of Richmond he was instructed to send his best regiment to guard the 
 Confederate prisoners at Fort Delaware. The One Hundred and Sixty-fifth, with Agnus as colonel, 
 received that compliment. The regiment remained at Fort Delaware three months and was then 
 ordered to Savannah, Ga. Here Colonel Agnus received his brevet as brigadier general. He was 
 then 26 years old, the youngest of his rank in the army. During the war Agnus received eleven 
 wounds, two of them severe. The wound at Gaines Mill was a shot that shattered his right shoulder. 
 He was brought to Baltimore. Charles C. and Edington Fulton, of the Baltimore American, found 
 him prostrated in the cabin of the steamer. Mr. C. C. Fulton had him taken to his home, where he 
 was tenderly nursed by Miss Annie E. Fulton. The young officer recovered and returned to his com- 
 mand. He fought on to the end of the war and then when peace came and with his brevet of brigadier 
 general he hastened to Baltimore and married his gentle nurse. He resigned his commission August 
 22, 1865, after having served for a time as inspector general commissioned to dismantle old Confed- 
 erate forts in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

ALBERT C. RITCHIE, Governor of Maryland, Baltimore City. 
 
 Albert C. Ritchie was born August 29, 1876. His fatber was Judge Albert Ritchie, one of the most distinguished 
 jurists and citizens of Maryland. His mother before her marriage was Miss Elizabeth Casliie Cabell, of Richmond, Va. 
 
 Mr. Ritchie received his early education in private schools in Baltimore, and graduated from the .Johns Hoyliins 
 University, with the degree of A. B., and from the University of Maryland Law School, with the degree of LL. B. In 
 1920, he received the degree of LL. D. from the University of Maryland and from St, John's College. 
 
 Upon his graduation Mr. Ritchie began the practice of law in Baltimore City with the firm of Steele, Semmes, 
 Carey and Bond, of which firm he became a member in 1900. In March, 1903, he was appointed Assistant City Solicitor 
 of Baltimore City. On July 1, 1910, he resigned. 
 
 In November, 190.?, Mr. Ritchie formed a law partnership with Stuart S. Janney, under the firm name of Ritchie 
 and Janney, which firm later became Ritchie, Janney & Grlswold, and still later Ritchie, Janney & Stuart. Mr, Ritchie 
 was a member of this Arm until his election as Governor. : 
 
 In 1907 he was appointed Professor of Law at the University of Maryland Law School, and served in this capacity 
 until his election as Governor. 
 
 On July 1, 1910, Mr. Ritchie became Assistant General Counsel to the Public Service Commission. This is the 
 position popularly known as People's Counsel, and It was in this capacity that Mr. Ritchie represented the people of 
 Baltimore in his noteworthy fight for cheaper gas and electricity, which resulted in reducing the price of gas from 90 
 to SO cents per 1,000 cubic feet, and the price of electricity from 10 to SVz cents per K. W. H. On February 16, 1913, 
 Mr. Ritchie resigned to devote all of his time to private practice. 
 
 In November, 1915, Mr. Ritchie was elected on the Democratic ticket Attorney-General of Maryland by a majority 
 of 2.5,000. 
 
 Mr. Ritchie served as Attorney-General from December 20-, 101.3, to December 20, 1919. He organized the first 
 State Law Department of Maryland, which took over the legal work of all of the State Departments except the Public 
 Service Commission. 
 
 Mr. Ritchie was one of the Maryland delegates-at-large to the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis in June, 
 1916, which nominated Woodrow Wilson lor his second term, and was also delegate-at-large to the San Francisco 
 Convention in 1920. 
 
 On June 3, 1918, Mr. Ritchie was appointed General Counsel to the United States War Industries Board, serving 
 in this capacity until December, 1918, when the Board was dissolved. He secured a leave of absence from his duties 
 as Attorney-General, and moved to Washington, in order to devote his entire time to war work. 
 
 In September, 1919, Mr. Ritchie was nominated without opposition as the Democratic candidate for Governor of 
 Maryland, and on November 4, 1019, he was elected to that office. 
 
MARYLAND 
 
 BY GENERAL FELIX AGNUS 
 
 FTER the Civil War I was invited to join a gold-seeking expedition to Montgomery county. 
 Most persons will smile at this and yet if they will look up the records they will find 
 that Maryland has always been listed among the gold producing States. Gold crops 
 out on the Appalachian chain as far north as Vermont and as far south as the Carolinas. 
 In Maryland the outcropping is in Montgomery county. Up to June 30, 1873, the total 
 yield of gold in Maryland, as reported by the United States authorities, was $258.53 in a world total 
 of over eight hundred millions, but why hold back because the sum was small? There was gold 
 in Maryland and we were called upon to explore, invest and develop. It was a lively party of 
 very agreeable friends and we had a good time even if we did not find much gold. Later from 
 time to time Marylanders have put money in the Montgomery county prospects but the whole total 
 produced from the gold mines in Maryland has amounted to only a few thousand dollars. 
 
 Now the point of interest is that Cecilius Calvert got from the crown the very remarkable charter 
 making him owner and practically king of Maryland on two conditions; first, that he send every year 
 to the King of England two Indian arrows, and, second, that he give to the King of England one-fifth 
 of the gold and silver he found in the new colony. No silver was ever mined in Maryland and the 
 only gold was that small quantity in Montgomery county discovered long after Americans ceased 
 sending anything in the way of tribute to the King of England. 
 
 And Maryland has found more and better wealth than if she had possessed a dozen gold mines. 
 Her soil and waters produce more cash returns and these yields are further and more equitably dis- 
 tributed, so that we can say in all truth that no State can show a higher average of wellbeing. For 
 centuries the Maryland people have lived well and there has been a large surplus to help others to 
 live well. This is the State not of gold perhaps but certainly of the golden mean. Its temperate 
 climate and abundant food and delightful society and pleasant neighbors make it the most com- 
 fortable and attractive of all the States. One result is that for generations visitors and writers have 
 showered compliments upon Maryland. From the first discoverers to the latest magazinists Maryland 
 is spoken of as the favored land and the glowing adjectives of Captain John Smith are endorsed and 
 used over and over again. 
 
 Recently the master of the National Grange visited us and saw our farms. "You have a great 
 State in little Maryland," he said. 
 
 At a meeting of the farmers of Maryland, Bishop John Gardner Murray prayed : "Especially do 
 we thank Thee that Thou hast cast our lot within the border of this State of Maryland, a land whose 
 waters are full of good, a land whose hills are full of fuel, a land whose forests and fields are full 
 of flowers and beauty; a land of brooks, of waters flowing from valleys and hills; a land of wheat 
 and barley; of vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of love; of oil and honey; a land in 
 which we feed without scarceness because of the plentitude of its products; a land whose stones are 
 iron and out of whose hills we dig brass." 
 
 Maryland is the compact State. It has everything within reach. All towns are neighbors. 
 Every farm is close to market. With a complete highway system, railroads, electric lines, hundreds 
 of miles of bayline and over a thousand miles of rivers the Marylander can step from his front 
 gate into a car or a boat, make his journey and be home the same day. The Marylander can leave 
 the mountains in the morning and eat his dinner by the sea and travel the whole distance in Maryland. 
 The products of Maryland's 48,000 farms and its fisheries and factories have for a ready and profitable 
 outlet the fourteen million urban population within four hundred miles of the center of the State. 
 
 In world history it has been the fortune of Maryland to play a part far larger than might be 
 indicated by her size and population. Her area is less than one per cent, of America and she has 
 only one and a third million of the one hundred and five millions that make the American nation, 
 and yet on almost every page of the national expansion and upbringing Maryland is conspicuous. 
 Of American colonies she was first in religious toleration. She did more than her share in the War 
 of Independence. In 1812 the commerce of the Chesapeake kept the young nation going. In the 
 industrial expansion of the first half of the nineteenth century she furnished the first railroad, the 
 first telegraph and scores of innovations of importance in the new life of the world. In the Civil War 
 Maryland was on both fronts of the conflict. In the busy period following the sixties Maryland was 
 
busy in the industrial awakening, and it now seems that fate was preparing her for the unusual and 
 remarkable role which she played in the great War of 1917, for in Maryland were over eighty war 
 operations that touched every part of the tremendous problem of a world struggle, the creation and 
 development of huge military camps, the building of ships, the making and testing of ammunition 
 and the collection and shipping of food for millions of soldiers. We should remember, too, that 
 Maryland provided the site for the capitol of the nation and we may add the proud fact that while 
 other States have not been able to find anthems Maryland men wrote, "Maryland, My Maryland," and 
 "The Star Spangled Banner." 
 
 The range and value of Maryland's achievements show better than any detailed history the fine 
 stimulus and spirit of the Maryland people. We have been hearing much about ideals, particularly 
 about the need of ideals to raise the common thought of mankind and guide the world along higher 
 paths. The best inspiration is that born of a fruitful past and Marylanders may look back over their 
 history with a pride that is a satisfaction in itself and also a profound and moving influence to 
 urge them to higher endeavor in any emergency that may confront them or their nation. There is 
 another fine thought: all this record gives the Marylander a keen sense of personal contact with the 
 best the world has done and is doing. 
 
 Let us take a look at this State, its population, its resources, its flourishing banks, its thriving 
 industries, its water wealth, its remarkable agriculture, its transportation, and then let us dwell with 
 especial interest and appreciation on what it did in the World War. 
 
 In the 1920 census Maryland has a population of 1,499,610. The colony began with a popu- 
 lation of 200 in 1634. In four years it increased to 700. Then it grew as follows: 1660, 12,000; 
 1671, 20,000; 1701, 30,000; 1756, 154,188; 1775, about 200,000; 1782, 254,050, and then followed 
 the census years.

 In Maryland almost every variety of soil, elevation and product may be found. It has three 
 regions. The coastal plain embraces the Eastern Shore, most of which is less than 26 feet above sea 
 level and the southern part of the Western Shore. The Piedmont Plateau includes about 2,500 
 square miles with an elevation of from 250 to 1,250 feet, being the greater part of Baltimore and 
 Harford counties and the counties of Howard, Carroll, Montgomery and Frederick, in all about one- 
 fourth the State's area. The Appalachian Region takes in Washington, Allegany and Garrett 
 counties and comprises some of the finest mountain scenery in America, reaching these altitudes, 
 Mt. Quirauk, Washington county, 2,400 feet; Dan's Rock, Allegany county, 2,898; Table Rock, 
 Garrett county, 3,700. At one end of the State Pocomoke has an elevation of 8 feet, while Oakland 
 at the other end has an elevation of 2,461 feet above the sea. From east to west Maryland stretches 
 240 miles. Its extreme length is 125 miles. Its total area is 12,327 square miles, of which 9,941 is 
 land and 2,386 water. 
 
 On June 30, 1920, the State Bank Commissioner reported that the total assets of the State banks 
 and trust companies of Maryland had reached the unprecedented figures of $405,106,729.69, and of 
 this sum the mutual savings institutions held $133,694,111.28. These figures do not include the 
 national banks whose resources exceed two hundred millions. We get a further understanding of 
 the activity of our banks and the extent of our business when we regard the following figures of the 
 Clearing House Association of Baltimore, bearing in mind of course that these include only the 
 dealings of the membership banks of the Baltimore Association: Clearings, for the year ending 
 December 31, 1918, $3,355,602,544; for the year ending December 31, 1919, $4,343,446,572— 
 increase in one year, $987,844,028. 
 
 These figures are more than double the totals of a few years ago. They show impressively the 
 wonderful prosperity that has come to Maryland and that reaches every part of the State. An increase 
 of almost a billion dollars a year in the bank clearings of Baltimore was very significant.

A still better showing of Maryland's growth is found in the facts furnished by the State Tax 
 Commission in its report for 1920. By this commission Maryland has a continuing method of review- 
 ing existing assessments. There was a reassessment of real estate in the counties in 1918. For the 
 levy of 1917, prior to reassessment, the assessed value of lands and improvements was $325,400,000; 
 in 1918, $427,500,000, a gain of $102,100,000. Maryland's taxable basis for 1919, the latest given, 
 was $1,712,141,646. In the past five years the increase in the State's basis was almost a third of a 
 billion dollars. 
 
 The internal revenue district of Maryland includes Delaware and the District of Columbia, more 
 than two-thirds of the population of the revenue district being in Maryland. For the fiscal year 
 ending June 30, 1920, the collections of this district reached a total of $120,752,547, mainly income 
 and excess profits taxes. These figures show that the per capita wealth of the people of Maryland is 
 far above the per capita wealth of the people of the United States. There is no land where prosperity 
 is better distributed than in Maryland. It is the State of general wellbeing. 
 
 Maryland's resources are practically inexhaustible. After more than three centuries of develop- 
 ment and use the natural supplies of the State exist in great productivity, and the State could easily 
 support a population of five times its present size. 
 
 We shall see presently that its agriculture has increased in value more than 300 per cent, within 
 the past ten years, and all its crops have increased in yields per acre as well as in the prices they 
 bring in the markets. The increase in manufacturing has been astonishing; as most of it centers 
 around Baltimore the details are given in the chapter on Baltimore, but we find numerous important 
 industries in the smaller cities and towns. Canning factories on the Eastern Shore, cement works in 
 middle Maryland and coal fields and mills in Allegany and Garrett are productive and profitable. 
 Baltimore county has iron ores that have been worked hundreds of years and the development of its 
 copper deposits led to the establishment of what was for years the largest copper mill in the United 
 States, using copper from Montana. In Baltimore county was found the first chrome ore discovered 
 in the United States. Woodstock granite quarried in Baltimore county almost a hundred years was 
 used in the Congressional Library and the Postoffice in Washington and in many of the important 
 buildings of Baltimore. In the Washington Monument, Washington, the Washington Monument, 
 Baltimore, and in scores of federal buildings the famous Beaver Dam marbles have been used. 
 In Cecil the Principio furnaces once furnished the largest output of pig and bar iron in America. 
 At Port Deposit the granite banks rise over 200 feet and the quality of this granite for building is 
 famous. Cecil has paper, iron, flour, phosphate, kaolin and flour-spar mills. Howard county has iron 
 mines and is rich in marble, granite and building stones. It has modern flour and cotton mills. 
 Carroll has cement mills and cotton and woolen factories and other mills; it has granite, marble, 
 brownstone, iron, copper, flint and much limestone, all of which are worked with profit. Besides 
 being the only county with gold Montgomery has rich deposits of granite and valuable water power 
 in the Potomac. Frederick, one of the three leading counties of America, in addition to its superior 
 agriculture, has iron and steel, lime, copper, and important manufactures of brushes and the 
 Catoctin Furnace was in operation as far back as 1774. Washington county has great orchards 
 on its slopes and it also has flourishing factories producing automobiles, bicycles, organs, gloves, 
 agricultural implements, textiles, furniture, carriages, flour, cigars and thirty other articles. 
 
 A swift glance at the other counties will show how blessed is Maryland: Worcester builds ships 
 and has basket factories; Somerest is the oyster and crab El Dorado; Wicomico makes fortunes from 
 lumber interests; Dorchester, Caroline, Talbot and Kent and Queen Anne's have canneries, flour mills 
 and basket factories. For years the white oak of Dorchester went into the building of good ships; 
 St. Mary's, the original county, has valuable timber; Calvert and Charles are rich in tobacco; Anne 
 Arundel wins returns from truck and has many industries within sight of Baltimore. 
 
 And so we come to the two most western counties which have resources that have only been 
 touched. Allegany's 64,000 acres of coal fields produce an unequalled variety of coal that commands 
 special favor because of its steam-making power. Allegany has fire clay, cement, iron ore, sandstone 
 and other minerals. Its industries include some of the best factories and mills in America, particu- 
 larly steel and glass. Cumberland, the second Maryland city, is a veritable industrial capital, growing 
 rapidly in population and wealth. Its new big tire plant is one of the finest in the United States. 
 
 Pa(je Fourteen 
 
Then Maryland's newest county, Garrett, offers opportunity and fortune in its rich deposits of coal, 
 fire clay and other minerals, and in its great forests, and it should not be forgotten that its maple 
 trees yield hundreds of thousands of pounds of sugar at a time when sugar is needed. 
 
 Here in a few words we have taken a survey of what our State has. Surely we must be impressed 
 by it and must appreciate how fortunate is any commonwealth that can have such benefits and oppor- 
 tunities within its boundaries. 
 
 The value of Maryland's ten leading crops increased from $31,639,251 in 1909, to $95,576,000 
 in 1919, or 302 per cent. These are the figures of the Extension Service of the Maryland State 
 College of Agriculture. 
 
 Corn is the principal crop. In 1909 the yield per acre on the 647,000 acres harvested produced 
 17,911,000 bushels worth $11,015,000. In the ten years the yield was increased to 41 bushels per 
 acre and the production reached 28,413,000 worth $39,778,000. 
 
 In the ten years the value of the wheat crop rose from $9,876,000 to $22,930,000; hay from 
 $6,011,000 to $15,120,000; oats from $584,000 to $1,492,000; barley from $79,000 to $244,000; 
 buckwheat from $99,216 to $499,000; rye from $252,000 to $685,000; white potatoes from $1,782,000 
 to $6,721,000; sweet potatoes from $483,000 to $2,234,000; tobacco from $1,457,000 to $5,872,000. 
 
 These figures show the wonderful uplift that has come to the whole farm situation in Maryland 
 but they do not tell the whole story, for Maryland in 1919 produced 1,944,000 bushels of apples 
 worth $3,553,600; 731,000 bushels of peaches worth $1,242,700; 420,000 bushels of pears worth 
 $546,000, and 200,000 tons of tomatoes worth $8,000,000. 
 
 It has 168,000 horses worth $17,136,000; 25,000 mules worth $3,350,000; 180,000 cows worth 
 $16,020,000; 138,000 other cattle worth $6,955,000; 250,000 sheep worth $2,275,000 and 427,000 
 hogs worth $8,759,000. These livestock values are higher now; they would probably exceed 
 $60,000,000 in 1920. 
 
 The money that has come to our farms through larger production and higher prices has sent up 
 the price of land and Maryland farms are commanding the highest prices they have ever known. 
 Farmers from other sections, from the more rigorous north and from the distant west are seeking 
 homes in Maryland where they have the comforts of an ideal climate and the benefits of close and 
 profitable markets. For example in Talbot county in the past two years 230 farms have been sold 
 at prices which aggregated more than a million dollars more than the assessed value. 
 
 In 1920 the University of Maryland awarded prizes for growing wheat in Maryland offered by the 
 Food Administration to stimulate production. These prizes show the productiveness of Maryland 
 soil. The first prize for a field of wheat over 25 acres went to a tract producing 35.93 bushels per 
 acre. The first prize for a field less than 25 acres went to a tract producing 41.4 bushels per acre. 
 The yield per acre in all crops is steadily advancing in Maryland. 
 
 These are the practical results of the fine awakening in progressive agriculture that has come 
 to the whole State. The extent of this is a surprise even to our own people. The Great War stimu- 
 lated it and the intensive campaign in food production produced the remarkable effect of increasing 
 the soil output of the State at the very time its farms had lost thousands of their best workers who 
 had been called into service. This apparent contradiction of conditions was accounted for by several 
 gratifying facts. First, the producers did more work and worked together as they had never worked 
 before. Second, they made use of modern machinery. Third, they took more care in harvesting their 
 crops. In one year more care in the threshing of wheat added 50,000 bushels to Maryland's crop. 
 A dozen tractor schools were conducted and at one demonstration at the State College 8,000 farmers 
 attended. On the Eastern Shore near the ocean one of the largest orchards and nurseries in the 
 country has been brought to great success. Western Maryland mountain sides are covered with great 
 orchards that rank with the largest and finest of America. In every county there are special agents 
 preaching and demonstrating the latest methods of fruit protection, and there are State experts at 
 work among the growers all the time. Thus we have a continuous session of education for the pro- 
 ducers and there is no State that is more thoroughly alive to the latest proven ideas in agriculture. 
 
 Work is now going on to organize every county on a community basis. Already there are more 
 than five hundred local rural organizations. Maryland has six of the best State organizations in 
 America, the Maryland Horticultural Society, the Maryland Crop Improvement Association, the 
 
 Pnge Fifteen 
 
Maryland State Dairymen's Association, the Maryland State Beekeepers' Association, the Maryland 
 Vegetable Growers' Association and the Maryland Sheep Growers' Association. All these are State- 
 wide and are federated in the Maryland Agricultural Society which also admits county councils or 
 county-wide federations of community councils and thus provides the machinery for the representa- 
 tion of every local community organization of the State. 
 
 In this associated effort is a high degree of interest, enthusiasm and cheerfulness, and thus the 
 farm life of Maryland has its enjoyment as well as profit. In fact the man who owns a good Mary- 
 land farm is one of the fortunate ones of earth. It means much, for, says Dr. Woods, "Each 
 American farmer is equivalent in his producing power to six farmers of any other nation in the 
 world." 
 
 George Calvert, born in England in 1579, founded the colony of Maryland, and his son, Cecelius 
 Calvert, carried out his scheme of making Maryland a land where every man might worship according 
 to the dictates of his own conscience. George Calvert was a Protestant who professed the Catholic 
 religion. When raised to the peerage he took his title from the name of his manor of Baltimore 
 in the central part of Ireland. The Irish element has always loomed large in Maryland and accounts 
 in an important measure for the sprightly character of its population and its devotion to the graces 
 and hospitalities of an exceptional social life. Early Maryland was a palatinate. Within its confines 
 Lord Baltimore was practically king; he was called "Cecilius, Absolute Lord of Maryland and 
 Avalon." He could create courts, coin money, grant titles, make peace and declare war, and he 
 was called the Lord Proprietor. Fortunately the Calverts were men of sanity and vision and they 
 used their powers wisely. So, the Palatinate instead of becoming a machine of absolutism or oppres- 
 sion worked out a development of representative government that gave the people a voice in affairs. 
 This spirit of democracy grew and thus Maryland has always been on the front line of the eternal 
 battle of mankind for liberty and justice. One result of this was that the Indians were treated fairly 
 and the new colony escaped the bloodshed and tragedy which some other colonies experienced. The 
 settlers and the Indians lived amicably. The troubles were with the whites of other States or other 
 interests and while these led to occasional turbulence it can be said with pride that Maryland had a 
 happy youth and that while it has never turned from a good fight it has always preferred peace, 
 understanding, of course, that it must be peace with honor. 
 
 When the troubles arose between the English King and Parliament in the middle of the seven- 
 teenth century the colonies were affected and the situation in Maryland was disturbed. It was then 
 the famous Toleration Act was passed, the date being April 21, 1649, and the Act decreeing among 
 other things, that it be "ordered and enacted . . . that no person or persons whatsoever within this 
 Province, . . . professing to believe in Jesus Christ, shall from henceforth be any waies troubled, 
 molested or discountenanced for or in respect to his or her religion." This Act carried out the spirit 
 and the purpose of the original Proprietor and gave to Maryland a world fame for broad-mindedness. 
 
 In all history the big thing is the creation of conditions that make for the full liberty of the 
 people. Maryland stood for religious toleration when the right to worship was sadly handicapped. 
 It led in breaking the shackles of monarchy in 1776 and 1812. Jews had been free to worship 
 according to their belief, but their enfranchisement had not been made. In 1825 a bill was passed 
 by the Legislature allowing them to hold office and giving them the same rights as all other citizens. 
 The final great act of freedom was in the adoption of the Constitution of 1864 which in Maryland 
 liberated between eighty and ninety thousand slaves, whose value was estimated to be over thirty 
 million dollars. 
 
 There was always opposition to slavery in Maryland. From 1695 a tax was laid on every slave 
 brought into the colony and 1780 this tax was raised to five hundred pounds which was prohibitive. 
 Three years later the Assembly passed an Act forbidding the further introduction of slaves. As 
 early as 1789 a society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Maryland. Roger B. Taney and 
 Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and many leading men belonged to it. Excellent work was done by 
 Friends. The constant policy was to reduce the number of negroes in Maryland. The State spent 
 large sums for the colony of Liberia, but the negroes did not want to leave Maryland where they were 
 treated with kindness and where their education was regarded. Gradually many of the slaves were 
 freed, so that when the Civil War came on the number of free blacks in Maryland almost equalled the 
 
number of slaves, the figures being 83,942 free blacks and 87,189 slaves, all of whom were to be freed 
 within a few years. In 1810 there were 111,502 slaves in Maryland. Although the number of negroes 
 in Maryland increased to over 170,000 in 1860 the number of slaves decreased to 87,189. These 
 figures are quoted here because most persons have forgotten them and have classed Maryland amono- 
 the slave-holding Southern States and have ignored the sentiment that strived throughout more than 
 a hundred years for the lifting of human bondage. The real spirit of Maryland has always been for 
 liberty. 
 
 In the Revolutionary War Maryland furnished her full quota of 3,405 men and these were 
 Washington's favorite troops. The first to join Washington's army was Captain Michael Cresap's 
 riflemen who left Frederick July 18 and arrived at Cambridge, Mass., August 9, 1775, armed with 
 rifles and toinahawks and wearing moccasins and hunting shirts. In 1777 on urgent letters from 
 Washington, Maryland raised five more regiments, twice as many as Maryland's share if all colonies 
 had contributed alike. Of Washington's army of forty-three regiments fit for service in 1777 seven 
 were from Maryland. Of the Maryland line there were only five hundred survivors at the end of 
 the war. Moreover, Maryland furnished supplies and went heavily in debt for the cause of inde- 
 pendence. Washington was nominated to the command of the American Army by a Marylander, 
 Governor Johnson, and it was in the Senate Chamber at Annapolis that he resigned his commission 
 and surrendered his sword. 
 
 For the War of 1812 Maryland was called upon for six thousand men; more than twelve thousand 
 volunteered. Within four months after war was declared Maryland sent out forty-two armed vessels; 
 one of these captured ships and cargo worth $1,500,000 and took 217 prisoners and the total of 
 damage done was enormous; in seven months 500 British merchant ships were captured. Later the 
 British plundered and burned towns along the Chesapeake and in 1814 the attack on Baltimore was 
 made. The American success at the Battle of North Point helped greatly to win the war. The 
 bombardment of Fort McHenry inspired Key to write the national anthem, "Star Spangled Banner." 
 Baltimore built the Battle Monument and the 12th of September is a Maryland holiday. 
 
 In the War with Mexico a battalion of six companies under Colonel William H. Watson of 
 Baltimore, won distinction at the Battle of Monterey and a monument to Colonel Watson is erected 
 in Baltimore. Major Ringgold and his battery were credited with the victory at Palo Alto. In that 
 war so many men volunteered in Baltimore that recruiting was discontinued. 
 
 Maryland contributed troops to both sides of the Civil War. The number will never be known, 
 but the estimate is from forty to fifty thousand divided about equally between the Union and Con- 
 federate forces. Maryland men fought Maryland men in some of the severest fights of the war. 
 Maryland was invaded by the Confederates three times. In the first invasion the battles of South 
 Mountain and Antietam, one of the bloodiest of the war. were fought. The second invasion led to 
 Gettysburg. In the third invasion Hagerstown paid a ransom of $20,000 and supplies and Frederick 
 paid a ransom of $200,000. 
 
 In the War with Spain Maryland offered all the men the Government would take, but few of 
 them got to the front. The Maryland name in that war was Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who 
 commanded and won the Battle of Santiago, as fine a hero as any nation ever possessed. Envious 
 rivals tried to tarnish his laurels but they shine brighter today than they did twenty years ago. 
 
 Thus through the years that stretched from the first struggles of a people to obtain freedom and 
 make the world better Maryland did more than the average. In all the struggles her men took large 
 part. Therefore it was natural that she should go into the greatest of all wars with a zeal that 
 spared no sacrifice. 
 
 From the declaration of war with Germany April 6, 1917, to the signing of the armistice Novem- 
 ber 11, 1918, Maryland furnished 62,000 men. The Maryland National Guard and Naval Militia 
 numbering 7,442 men were ready before the Government asked for them. The Naval Militia was 
 called in service the day war was declared. The National Guard of Maryland was drafted into Federal 
 service August 5, 1917, before which time it had been guarding the railroad bridges of the State and 
 the waterworks of Baltimore city. Hundreds of young men from Maryland enlisted in the armies of 
 the Allies long before America entered the war. The list of Maryland dead during the war was about 
 1,800. The Government figures for Maryland in the American Expeditionary forces to February, 
 
 Pu[ie Seventeen 
 
1920, were: deaths, 975; wounded, 2,804; prisoners, 33. The other deaths were in the United States. 
 The Johns Hopkins Hospital Unit left on the first convoy of the American Expeditionary forces and 
 was the first hospital with the forces. 
 
 It is too early to write a definite record of what the Maryland troops did abroad. The various 
 accounts are available and all are interesting, but the story needs perspective in order that it may 
 be just and satisfactory. What we know is that Maryland men took part in many fights; that they 
 were ably led; that they showed fine courage; that they did their full duty and that they contributed 
 some of the splendid pages to the history of the war. From General Pershing down the line of officers 
 they were praised for their qualities as men and soldiers. They reflected the highest honor on their 
 State and gave the name of Maryland new fame and glory. 
 
 I think we are all immeasurably proud of Maryland's home work during the war period. Of 
 course, it is secondary to the service and sacrifice of our young men in uniform, but it was an 
 expression of the desire and power of those not in the army and navy to support and help those who 
 were. In standing back of her men Maryland was a unit in unselfishness and enthusiasm. This 
 work began long before war was declared. As far back as February the Governor had appointed a 
 Preparedness Commission and the organization of the State for war service had begun. Larger crops 
 were put in and the industries of the State began to expand. An extra session of the General Assem- 
 bly in June, 1917, unanimously resolved "that the State of Maryland pledges all its resources to 
 the Government of the United States for the successful prosecution of the war." It created the Mary- 
 land Council of Defense and appropriated a million dollars for its work, adding another million a 
 year later. It passed a remarkable series of laws to meet the exigencies of the war period and to 
 knit the State into a close and efficient organization for practical work. Its Compulsory Work Law 
 became famous and from it came the Government's demand, "Fight or Work." It was one of three 
 States to take a military census. It had the first hospital train. 
 
 In food production the State did very unusual work. It provided better seed for the farmers, 
 bought tractors to help the plowing and organized every county for more intensive farming. The 
 result was that 1918, the war year, was the most productive year in the State's history. It was also 
 a year of universal gardening and the value of the war gardens in 1918 was placed at $6,880,000. 
 This was due to the patriotic co-operation of the women of the State. The Maryland women built 
 up some of the very best organizations Maryland ever had and their value was felt in every direc- 
 tion, food production. Red Cross, Liberty loans, thrift stamps, patriotic celebrations, care of the 
 soldiers, care of their families, in a hundred ways that expressed Maryland womanhood at its 
 highest. 
 
 Maryland bankers showed the finest loyalty to their State and Nation. Their banks did every- 
 thing the Government asked and more, for they gave their services without stint to Washington. The 
 lawyers of Maryland organized under their judge- and gave free service to the soldiers and their 
 families. The Maryland doctors achieved new honors. The men from the Johns Hopkins, the 
 LTniversity of Maryland and other medical schools were first and foremost with American troops 
 on the battle fields and it might be said that American troops in Europe were under Maryland doctors, 
 for they were at the head of the hospitals and medical units. Maryland was the first State to con- 
 tribute her quota of physicians as requested by the Surgeon General. 
 
 Maryland gave three million dollars to the Red Cross and millions more to other causes. On 
 all the loans Maryland went over the top. In fact there was not a single request from the Govern- 
 ment that Maryland did not promptly meet. 
 
 No State was more used by the Government than was Maryland. The State spent $200,000 to 
 clear the ground for Camp Meade, the only State that did this work at its own expense, and Camp 
 Meade became one of the great camps of the war and its value was such that the War Department made 
 it a permanent camp. Camp Holabird, on the edge of Baltimore, is where the trucks were assembled 
 for shipment to Europe, a fine camp with a capacity of 2,800 men. Maryland took care of the army 
 truck men until this camp could be made fit for their accommodation. Then the great proving 
 grounds at Aberdeen, where the ammunition was tested, an estate that will be a permanent govern- 
 ment reservation. There were many other camps and grounds. Our navy had its base in an arm of 
 the Chesapeake and our rivers were full of ships loading ammunition and food for the armies of 
 the Americans and the Allies. Already the list is long but it only touches the total. The great 
 
 /•»<;(■ Eiillilc 
 
works of Bartlett-Hayward, the Poole Company, the various ship yards and others contributed notable 
 chapters in big work and practical patriotism. In short the whole war story of Maryland is as fine 
 as anything in the records of the human race. And it has given our life a stimulus that will be felt 
 all through the coming generations. 
 
 Transportation lines are the arteries of a State. In these Maryland is blessed. Its highway 
 system built at a cost of $25,000,000 is the best in the United States. Its great railroads, the Balti- 
 more and Ohio, the Pennsylvania and the Western Maryland are national in fame, while its smaller 
 lines, the Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Annapolis Short Line and the Washington, Baltimore and 
 Annapolis give excellent services. Baltimore, Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland have first-class 
 electric lines and the use of the automobile bus has been so well extended that there is constant 
 service between all the population points of the State. 
 
 Fifty years ago Maryland spent over a half million dollars a year on public schools; today 
 the sum is over five millions. Its educational facilities embrace every approved school from the open 
 air kindergarten to the Johns Hopkins. These advantages make a high grade of public service and 
 thus our leaders in the professions and in business are known for their trained intelligence, their 
 wide vision and their progressive methods. 
 
 All in all, Maryland in the year 1920 looms as a fortunate State with a record of solid achieve- 
 ment and with the destiny of increase and usefulness that will keep it in the front line of the world's 
 happiest progress and prosperity.

BALTIMORE 
 
 BY GENERAL FELIX AGNUS 
 
 N 1920 Baltimore entered the billion class. Its taxible basis reached over a billion; its 
 trade exceeded two billions; the wealth of its 733,826 people was several billions. 
 
 Baltimore emerged from the big fire of 1904 with the spirit and the courage to 
 handle large undertakings. In no city has there been finer work of reconstruction than 
 that which produced the new Baltimore. Broad-minded men at the head of affairs 
 enlisted the services of the leading experts of the times and thus Baltimore rose to its opportunity. 
 When the Great War came Baltimore was equipped. Baltimore with half the State's population and 
 with most of its industrial facilities and with practically all its commerce rendered very unusual 
 service to the Government. Much of the ammunition was made here; many of the ships were built 
 here; a very large part of the war machinery was assembled here and vast quantities of foodstuffs 
 were handled here. Forty Government operations used Baltimore's equipment to the limit and added 
 enormously to the city's output. Baltimore gave 30,000 men to the service but its population during 
 the war increased because more than 50,000 workers were drawn here to do war work. The timid 
 thought the reaction following the close of the war would affect Baltimore adversely, but instead of 
 reaction there has been increase, and thus two years after the armistice Baltimore holds what the war 
 gave it and greets the future with construction plans totalling more than a hundred million dollars. 
 In most of the histories of Baltimore the larger space is occupied by the events of the early period 
 and the stretch of years preceding and including the Civil War. It is a story of deep interest and 
 splendid progress worth all the attention it receives, but the greater record of Baltimore lies this 
 side of the sixties. It is the record of a beautiful city full of high spirit and enterprise constantly 
 expanding and improving and growing in grace and wealth, covering more acres with finer structures, 
 reaching higher in the air with its skyscrapers and digging deeper in the earth for its channels of 
 commerce and for its network of utilities that distribute power, gas, electricity, water, heat, transpor- 
 tation and other municipal necessities beneath its surface. 
 
 Coming to Baltimore in the sixties and having been a resident and worker here for more than 
 a half century I have been a witness of or a participant in the movements that have produced the 
 progressive city of 1920. I have seen Baltimore rise from a population of a quarter of a million to 
 almost three-quarters of a million, its trade rise from a hundred millions to a round billion, its 
 taxable basis increase from less than two hundred millions to over a billion, its foreign trade grow 
 from a dozen millions to over four hundred millions, and its manufacturing output from fifty mil- 
 lions to a billion, and with all these material advances has been the full fruition of a large and 
 busy population in the arts and graces that make the City Beautiful, for with the best that statistics 
 can show there is the further and better story of Baltimore's happy destiny as the home city of 
 the Western Hemisphere and the capital of its most delightful society and hospitality. To all of 
 these we may add its pre-eminence in education and medicine. No one can write the history of 
 human progress during the past half century without mentioning Baltimore repeatedly in the narra- 
 tive. This incomparable city has not only grown splendidly as a body, but has also contributed 
 nobly to the great advances in all forms of culture. Its progress has been intellectual even more 
 notably than it has been material. 
 
 From 1910 to 1920 Baltimore gained 34.46 per cent, and even allowing for the annexation of 
 the suburbs it is reasonable that the unprecedented industrial growth now going on within the city 
 limits will draw thousands of workers and their families to this city, and largely increase the gain 
 of 175,431 made from 1910 to 1920. An idea of the safe and steady growth of Baltimore can be 
 gathered from the following figures for the decennial years: 
 
 1790 13,503 I860 212,418 
 
 1800 26,514 1870 267,354

 1850 169,054 1920 733,826 
 
 Pnoc TwcntjjOno 
 
While Baltimore made a gain of more than a third in the ten years from 1910 to 1920 its standing 
 in the new census is further down than in any previous census span. It stands eighth, the others 
 being New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston, and eighth Baltimore. 
 The new alignment was caused by Detroit's wonderful spurt in the making of automobiles and kindred 
 things and by Cleveland's industrial expansion. Baltimore suffered by the loss of immigration during 
 the six years preceding the taking of the new census, and yet it stood fourth among the big cities 
 in the percentage of gain during the census period. No large city on the Atlantic seaboard equalled 
 its rate of gain. Even Washington with its wartime boom did less. It is true that most of this gain 
 came through annexation but this annexation was of population that has rightly belonged to Balti- 
 more city for a full generation. It was of people who lived off the city and who were identified 
 with it in every way except that they lived across a geographical line. 
 
 I was present at the first anniversary of the Pennsylvania Steel Company's coming to Sparrows 
 Point, and at the dinner I sat near its genial president. Major Bent, and Wayne McVeagh, one of the 
 wisest and most brilliant men of his day. Both of these told me that while the time might spread 
 over years it was certain that great manufacturing would come to tidewater and that of all the tide- 
 water locations none in America surpassed the Patapsco river. The millions they were investing then 
 seemed tremendous to us, but think for a moment what has happened. Today the officers of this 
 wonderful plant tell us they will spend $85,000,000 on improvements and enlargements and the 
 amount does not even surprise us. In the yards at Sparrows Point two 20,000-ton ships are being 
 built, the first of a fleet of ten to ply between Cuba and the Patapsco to carry Cuban ores to the 
 Sparrows Point docks. Turn your mind back a bit. The first settlers came to Maryland in the Ark 
 of two hundred tons and the Dove of fifty tons. Anchored in the Patapsco as these words are written 
 are two hundred ships on any of which the Ark and Dove might be stored without the cargo space 
 being missed. We have come to a new age and the great thing about Baltimore is that it has learned 
 to think and act in tens of millions and billions. 
 
 In 1920 Baltimore's great project is the proposition to invest $50,000,000 in harbor improvement. 
 It seems to me that this $50,000,000 port fund is a capital illustration of the mind of the new 
 Baltimore. Back of it lies the reason of the city's growth. In establishing a commercial point in 
 the colony several sites were tried and finally the new Baltimore got its start on the Patapsco and 
 grew around the head of the "basin"; on January 12, 1730, the town of 60 acres was laid out west 
 of Jones' Falls, and it developed with its commerce. The river channel and the 12 foot depth in 
 the "basin" were ample for the ships of those early years, in fact for more than two centuries, and 
 thus we have Baltimore rising comfortably on its natural facilities and becoming a port well known 
 to the world. The goods of Europe and the products of Asia and South America were brought here 
 and the tobacco, grains and other items of our agriculture were sent abroad. The days of the Balti- 
 more clippers came, those graceful ships with all the sail that could be crowded on them, and of 
 which it was said, "They start before the wind has time to reach their sails, and never allow it to 
 come up with them." The clipper days were full of adventure and profit and Baltimore's name 
 and fame were carried to the four corners of the globe. In the merchants and ship owners of these 
 clipper days was the spirit of risk. They were keen sportsmen in world commerce and no port was 
 too distant for their seeking. This spirit coursed in the blood of the city and became a potent 
 influence in its life, so that Baltimoreans became known for their vivacity and their daring. Whether 
 it be a horse race or a trip to the antipodes the Baltimorean was ever ready for a venture. 
 
 As ships grew in size and commerce changed Baltimoreans saw the need of deeper channels. 
 They spent their money in dredging, piers, iceboats and other harbor improvements and then they 
 sought and secured, along with other cities, help from the Government. The point here is that while 
 Baltimore benefited by the Government aid it showed the spirit of self-help when some other places 
 were depending wholly on appropriations from Washington. Only a few years ago Baltimore spent 
 $10,000,000 on its municipally owned piers. 
 
 Thus Baltimore came to possess a large landlocked harbor dredged to 35 feet sufficient for the 
 vast majority of ships afloat, and with a tidal range of only 14 inches. The many miles of shore 
 line allowed unlimited development, and this development jumped by leaps and bounds during and 
 following the Great War. In 1917 Baltimore's commerce rose to its highest figures, imports, $43,- 
 972,790; exports, $374,033,121. Prior to the Great War Baltimore's overseas services numbered 
 twelve lines serving fifteen foreign ports. Two years afterwards there are 40 lines, representing 
 services operating to more than 80 foreign ports. During 1920 more than 200 ships at a time were 
 
 Piific Tirclitii-Tiio 
 
anchored in the harbor and harbor approaches of Baltimore, these including huge cargo carriers. 
 Along with this new life on the water were coal piers, grain elevators and modern equipment by 
 which the loading and unloading of ships could be done more expeditiously and economically in 
 Baltimore than in any other port in the world. Compared with New York the turn around of a ship 
 in Baltimore cost four thousand dollars less than in New York. Men interested in foreign trade 
 organized and co-operated with the city and thus there came a harmonious and admirable policy for 
 handling the whole harbor proposition and developing it systematically. 
 
 The result was the passage of an enabling act by the Maryland Legislature of 1920 whereby 
 the city of Baltimore was empowered to spend $50,000,000 for port development. The scheme is 
 an inspiration, for it is so planned that a great and vital investment will be made without taxing the 
 citizens a penny. After ratification by the voters the expenditures are to be directed and the work 
 is to be handled by a commission of leading citizens. The law states that the money shall not be 
 spent "until the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, with the approval of the Board of Estimates, 
 shall have entered into a binding contract, covering a period of not less than ten (10) years, secured 
 to the satisfaction of said Board for the rental of the property so acquired, or to be acquired, 
 improved or to be improved, at an annual rental charge equal to or greater than the sum of the 
 annual interest on the expenditure for the acquisition, construction or improvement of the said 
 property and the annual sinking or retirement fund charged thereon; and should the construction 
 or improvement be upon or appurtenant to land or other property now owned by the city, the 
 appraised value of such land or other property shall be included as a part of the cost of construction 
 or improvement." 
 
 Nothing could better show the enterprise and courage of the modern Baltimore than this invest- 
 ment of fifty million dollars and it is the finest possible assurance of Baltimore's great future as the 
 safest and cheapest port of America — "Baltimore, the most Western of the Eastern ports, the most 
 Northern of the Southern ports and the most Southern of the Northern ports." Being nearest 
 Pittsburg, Buffalo and the West, Baltimore is the natural outlet for the products of the West and 
 the natural distributing point for the products of the West Indies and South America, as well as 
 one of the five great ports of the world for the commerce of all the nations. 
 
 Baltimore's new spirit was strikingly demonstrated anew in the overwhelming vote the people 
 gave to the following loans in the elections of 1920: For public improvements, $26,000,000; for 
 harbor development, a part of the $50,000,000 loan authorized by the legislature, $10,000,000; for 
 increasing the water supply, $15,000,000; for a hospital for contagious diseases, $750,000. 
 
 I have given precedence to the port history and future of Baltimore because it is the factor that 
 underlies Baltimore's rise as a great city. \ 
 
 For the same reason I call attention to the new life that is coming to Baltimore through the 
 deepening and widening of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. After almost a century of argument 
 and periodical agitation this dream is coming true. It is a profound satisfaction to me that I had 
 part in the work. I was chairman of the commission appointed by President Roosevelt to report 
 upon and appraise the property, my associates being Colonel Flagler, of the Army and Commander 
 Chambers of the Navy, and Lynn R. Meekins, secretary. We gathered and placed before the public 
 the remarkable statistics of the commerce of the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and the possibilities 
 that would follow the deepening of the 9-foot thirteen mile ditch into a sea level ship canal con- 
 necting the two great bays and affording the saving of time and danger to ships in the trade of the 
 world. It is not necessary to repeat all these figures here, but they mean millions added to Balti- 
 more's commerce and the placing of this city on the great route of interior traffic that is to be built 
 up along the Atlantic coast. When this canal was built over a century ago Maryland helped with 
 its money. Now after all the years the canal will come to its destiny as a blessing to the main 
 city of the State and to most of the people on the Chesapeake. The Government bought the canal 
 at about the price we fixed and another generation will see the plan carried out. It means a full 
 free channel to our interior commerce, the completion of the main link of the Atlantic waterways 
 movement and the saving of over a hundred miles and a day of time to our European shipping. For 
 all commodities this new canal will be useful and its value to the coal trade will.be very large. 
 
 In coastwise trade Baltimore has regular services to eight Atlantic and four Pacific ports. It 
 has a score of lines plying on the Chesapeake and its hundreds of miles of tributaries, bringing 
 their richness and succulence to our incomparable markets. So, when we add all the elements and 
 factors of Baltimore's commerce we understand how its water-borne trade reaches well towards the 
 
 Page Tiveithi-Tliree 
 
billion mark and is mounting upward all the time. Better still, the outlook for the future is larger 
 and finer than in any time of the port's history. With a port fully equipped to meet modern require- 
 ments Baltimore will move to an unprecedented growth, for it is nearest to the centre of population 
 of the United States, to the wheat and corn fields of the West, to the steel field of Pittsburg district 
 and its railroad connections reach almost half of the manufactured goods of the country and it has 
 an average freight rate to and from the Middle West of about sixty cents per net ton less than the 
 rate to and from New York. These advantages are vital in the upbuilding of a city. 
 
 I have referred particularly to Sparrows Point because it was the largest enterprise to lead the 
 movement of big manufacturing to tidewater and its establishment meant the combined and ripened 
 judgment of the wisest and most powerful group of industrial captains in America. It aptly has 
 been termed Baltimore's largest industry. Although it is not actually located on Baltimore territory 
 it is so near that it is a large part of and a very potent influence in the life of the city. Do you 
 realize what it is and what it means? It is the largest tidewater steel plant in America. It brings 
 its own ores from its own mines in Cuba and other foreign countries in its own ships and its elec- 
 trical equipment can unload a 10,000-ton ore boat in ten hours. Its storage yards hold 1,000,000 
 tons of ore and its grab buckets can pick up 17 tons of ore at once. Its 360 coke ovens consume 
 6,000 tons of coal a day and the daily by-products include 25,000,000 cubic feet of gas which sup- 
 plies all of Baltimore city, 12,000 gallons of motor benzol fuel, 44,000 gallons of tar and 150,000 
 pounds of ammonia sulphate used in the making of fertilizers. Eight wonderful blast furnaces pro- 
 duce daily 3,600 tons of pig iron. The electrical system represents 117,850 horse power. The 
 steel making plants have a total capacity of 1,250,000 ingots annually. The rail mills turn out 
 35,000 tons of rails a month — and the Sparrows Point rail is found wherever a railroad exists. The 
 plate mills produce 35,000 tons of plates per month. There are 24 tin plate mills producing 9,200 
 tons of tin plate per month — and it used to be said that Americans could not produce tin plate. 
 Scores of splendid ships have been built at Sparrows Point; the plant has a capacity of 140,000 
 tons of shipping a year and practically 100 per cent, of the mills and machinery are fabricated within 
 the plant itself. In the year 1920 ships of 20,000 tons capacity are being built. All this is tremendous 
 and it is being enlarged at an expenditure that will mean practically all of a hundred million dollars. 
 
 Charles M. Schwab, the president, is on record as promising to make Sparrows Point the greatest 
 steel plant in the world. It means not only more population for Baltimore and more wages to 
 build homes and make wealth, but also the establishment of many other industries along the 
 Patapsco. The Bethlehem Steel Company, which Mr. Schwab bought for $15,000,000, now repre- 
 sents an investment close to a half billion dollars. From these huge sums and plans we get an 
 idea of the way it does things, so when it plans to make Sparrows Point the greatest steel plant in 
 the world it carries with it an assurance of enormous increase to Baltimore. 
 
 Many other enterprises spending millions and employing thousands line the Patapsco and dot 
 the environs of Baltimore. There are excellent shipbuilding plants. For example, the Baltimore 
 Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Company, covering an area of 60 acres under the shadow of Fort 
 McHenry. Mr. Holden A. Evans, the president of this company, is one of the foremost shipbuilders 
 of the United States. It has turned out more than a score of modern ships of very superior character 
 and it has won a reputation for exceptional speed and promptness. The Barstow illustrates this. 
 The ship had been seriously damaged and bids for the repairs were asked, time being important. 
 The Baltimore plant agreed to do the work in 65 days, the nearest competitor naming 130 days. 
 The Baltimore plant delivered the ship in 64 days. It is not only the volume of work but the 
 quality of work that has brought Baltimore to the front. Other plants which are well known and 
 which have contributed their share to the making the new Baltimore grew almost by magic to meet 
 the demands of the Great War and the needs that followed. Their owners and managers have become 
 a large influence in the business and financial life of the city. 
 
 And yet, big as the big plants are and wonderful as they seem, they are only a part of the 
 story of Baltimore's eminence as one of the leading manufacturing centres of the country. The Civic 
 and Industrial Bureau of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association has kindly supplied me with 
 a detailed commodity list carefully prepared, these commodities being the products of Baltimore 
 factories and each of them being on record in the Association's office for the information of buyers. 
 The list comprises almost two thousand items, covering thousands of different articles, practically 
 everything that is made, from a pin to a modern ship. You can equip a family, a home, or a 
 farm, a store or a mill, or a fleet of ships straight from Baltimore factories. Now observe, please, 
 
the economic value of such a circumstance. The number and variety of Baltimore factories are such 
 that any serious interruption of its industrial life is never probable. It has the big enterprises but 
 it is especially blessed with the moderate-sized plants that keep going. Thus we get to understand 
 why Baltimore suffers less from strikes or lockouts than any other American city. The suspension 
 of even a considerable part of Baltimore's working force is beyond the range of probability. 
 
 In Baltimore are over 150,000 laborers engaged in manufacturing with an output of almost a 
 billion dollars a year. In the number of manufacturing establishments Baltimore stands seventh in 
 the major group of leading American industrial cities. It produces an enormous volume of clothing, 
 millions of straw hats, millions of shirts, more canned goods than any other city, tinware fabrica- 
 tions in great number, and is the largest manufacturer of fertilizers in the world. These are a few 
 items of the many. 
 
 Fifty years ago Baltimore's jobbing and retail trade was from short distances, although good 
 customers came on the coastwise ships and there were buyers from beyond the Alleganies. Today the 
 wholesale trade takes up acres of floor space in modern warehouses and sends agents to every State 
 of the Union and every country of the globe. Baltimore is doing a larger trade with the South than 
 it ever did, although both the North and the West have tried their best to shake its hold. Further- 
 more, Baltimore merchants have invaded the markets of the North and West and they are driving 
 in deeper every year. It would be a hazard to even guess the total of this jobbing business but it is 
 enormous. 
 
 In retail trade Baltimore has widened wonderfully within the past generation. The enterprise 
 and reliability of the merchants, the freshness and dependability of their goods, the excellence of 
 their service and the attractions of their stores have combined to give them success beyond expecta- 
 tions. To Washington flock the representatives of the American people and the diplomats of the 
 world. Every week scores of them run over to Baltimore to do their shopping. The ladies of the 
 White House and the ladies of the embassies seek the attractions and bargains of the Baltimore 
 stores. Shoppers from half the States come to Baltimore. Here again, figures would be only 
 speculation but I am told that the value of the jobbing and retail trade of Baltimore is now well 
 over a billion dollars a year. 
 
 Underlying all of the growth of the past fifty years has been the great work of the Baltimore 
 financiers. Baltimore banks have a history of safety, vision and help that is unique and it would 
 fill a book. Not only do their figures run far into the millions and touch all the points of finance 
 but they demonstrate that the finest asset of all is the character of the solid and farseeing men who 
 guided the city's financial institutions to their present greatness. 
 
 Sixty per cent, of the homes of Baltimore are owned by their occupants. Every city calls itself 
 a city of homes but I think the term can be applied to Baltimore with gratifying truthfulness. 
 Naturally the Baltimore people are sociable and home-loving. All visitors have remarked upon that 
 fact and the impressions they have carried away have been those of families happily sheltered, with 
 abundance on their tables. Miles and miles of Baltimore streets are lined with attractive two-story 
 houses and most of them are owned by the occupants. Baltimore is not only the home of homes but 
 it is also the home of the Building Association. In the year 1920 there are six hundred of these 
 associations in Baltimore, with capital resources said to be over $60,000,000. This form of associa- 
 tion is usually a neighborhood affair in which a group of friends and neighbors make it possible for 
 their friends and neighbors to purchase their homes and pay for them in weekly payments, usually 
 covering a period of seven years. It brings a home within reach of every family that has a regular 
 income or a regular worker and the good it has done has been inestimable. 
 
 In the home idea and the ownership of homes by the workers we find the cause of the excellence 
 and reliability of the labor of Baltimore. The home owner hates a red flag or a strike. He is the 
 type of citizen who makes a city of law and order and whose own investment is a sheet anchor of 
 public security. A number of great industries which will give employment to more than twenty 
 thousand persons are settling in Baltimore as I write these words and in almost every instance they 
 have been drawn here by the peaceableness of the labor conditions. One of them, the head of a ten 
 million dollar concern, said, "Nowhere in America, so far as I know, are the living conditions for 
 every man, woman and child as comfortable and as inviting as those provided in Baltimore." 
 
 If one wishes a measure of Baltimore's ability to meet a great crisis and to emerge from it 
 victoriously it can be found in the history following the year 1904 when the big fire devastated the 
 
 Pane Tn-ciitii-Fire 
 
heart of Baltimore and destroyed property worth more than $125,000,000. The taxable basis of 
 Baltimore in 1904 was $503,144,182. The taxable basis of Baltimore in 1920 is $1,086,349,852. 
 Here is an increase of practically one hundred per cent. Fine as that is, it does not tell the full 
 story. Baltimore's rise from its most prostrating disaster was cumulative, so that we find that the 
 increase from 1919 to 1920 was $22,500,000 and this new growth in wealth and well-being is going 
 on with larger speed as these words are written in the new census year. 
 
 I am sure that none of us will ever forget the fine spirit that kept us moving forward in the 
 days of the fire and its aftermath. There was born a larger and more stimulating pride in our city, 
 with a wider vision of its value and destiny. For more than a century Baltimore had been helping 
 others. When misfortune visited a people or a community Baltimore was among the first to send aid. 
 Baltimbre dollars went to practically every State and city. It was particularly kind and generous to 
 the South. Its donations embraced all forms of useful gifts, from cargoes of food to thousands of 
 dollars. I can recall a score of funds we raised in the Baltimore American for the sufferers from 
 fire, flood, earthquake and pestilence. This was good work and it was fitting that our big-hearted 
 city should share its good fortune with those who had been visited by misfortune. So, when we had 
 our fire, which to that moment was the most costly any American city had known, it was natural that 
 other cities and States and some of the foreign lands should rush to our relief. They came in 
 splendid spirit and abundance. Money, food, shelter, every form of aid was offered as swiftly as 
 the wires could bring it, and these offers were accompanied by tributes that showed how Baltimore 
 was beloved throughout the world. It was here the Baltimore people rose to a new heighth. They 
 met through their representatives and boldly decided to stand on their own strength. Every offer 
 of aid was declined with thanks and Baltimore went to work while the ruins were still burning. 
 Nothing precisely like that ever happened before in the history of the world. It was not fully 
 understood at first and some believed that Baltimore was a bit too proud. Here was a city with a 
 loss equal to a fifth of its taxable basis, with its business section of many acres and scores of business 
 blocks in ruins and yet it was refusing any help to make a new start and get on its feet. The 
 fact was Baltimore never got off its feet. It did not lie down for a single fleeting minute. I know I 
 was at work on plans for a new home for the Baltimore American before the fire was out and I know 
 some of my neighbors were doing the same and we all felt the forward urge of each moving for a 
 greater and better city and of all working in high enthusiasm for the success of our plans. I take 
 pride in the fact that the American Building was the first big office building completed after the 
 fire but I wish at the same time to pay tribute to my fellow-citizens who worked so zealously in 
 the upbuilding from the ashes. The best thing Baltimore ever did was to decline the aid so gener- 
 ously and unselfishly offered, for it created a new independence that made a finer people as well 
 as a finer city. 
 
 Like other old cities Baltimore had grown along cowpaths and narrow streets. The very sec- 
 tions that needed ample spaces were cramped and congested. A commission laid out the new plan 
 with wise liberality. For example the lane known as Light Street became a splendid avenue with 
 abundant room for the commerce to and from the fleets of steamers that trade on the Chesapeake 
 Bay and its hundreds of miles of tributaries. Light Street today is one of the notable business 
 streets of America. The narrow street that ran along the Marsh Market section was a disgrace. 
 Here a great avenue of commerce was created; fine buildings in advance of any of their kind in 
 America were erected and there followed in natural development the building of municipal piers that 
 are models and the covering of Jones Falls that gave a smooth and continuous driveway connecting 
 the northern sections of the city with its harbor. At the critical moment Baltimore had the courage to 
 stand on its own resources and the wisdom born of this new independence modernized its whole busi- 
 ness area. 
 
 Baltimore had often been called slow and its other name was the Terrapin City. One of our 
 wits said the best way to make a terrapin move was to place a hot coal on its back. The fire was 
 the hot coal that made the terrapin city find its pace — a pace that grows as the years roll on. 
 
 Baltimore was first in many things, the first Cathedral, the first Methodist Church, the first monu- 
 ment to Washington, the first railroad, the first telegraph line, the first linotype, the first electric 
 railway in the United States, the first dental college in the world, the first medical society in the 
 United States, the first gas company; and it has many attractions, the Walter's Gallery, Fort 
 McHenry, the second largest armory in the world, where Wilson was nominated, and a score of 
 other possessions that interest the visitor. 
 
Captain John Smith and his companions, who visited the upper Chesapeake in June, 1608. were 
 the first white men to see the site of Baltimore. In 1662 Charles Gorsuch patented 50 acres of land 
 on Whetstone Point. In 1682 David Jones settled on the north side of the harbor and gave his name 
 to the stream which afterwards divided the new town. On January 12, 1730, a town of 60 acres was 
 laid out west of Jones Falls and called Baltimore in honor of Cecilius Calvert, Lord Baltimore. 
 In 1732 a new town of 10 acres in 20 lots was laid out on the east side of the Falls and called 
 Jonestown, and in 1745 the two towns were united. The county town was removed from Joppa to 
 Baltimore in 1767. The court house and whipping post were perched on a hill that existed where 
 the Battle Monument now stands. In 1773 William Goddard established the Maryland Journal and 
 Baltimore Advertiser, now the Baltimore American, and during the Revolutionary War this paper 
 was edited by Katherine Goddard, the first American woman in journalism. In 1775 Baltimore con- 
 tained 564 houses and 5,934 inhabitants. In 1776 Congress met in Baltimore at the corner of 
 Baltimore and Liberty Streets. Baltimore took a fine part in the Revolutionary War. Washington 
 and Lafayette visited Baltimore. Rochambeau and his troops camped on the Cathedral street hill near 
 the present Catholic Cathedral. After the Revolution Baltimore grew rapidly. In 1796 it had a 
 population of 20,000; in 1797 it was incorporated, and the first mayor was James Calhoun. Lines 
 of packets and stage coaches and turnpikes brought new prosperity. The trade of the Chesapeake 
 was developed. In the War of 1812 Baltimore was prominent. Its ships became famous. The 
 Battle of North Point stopped the British and gave the nation its anthem, "The Star Spangled Ban- 
 ner." There was a fine intellectual life in the first half of the century and literature and journalism 
 prospered. It was also a great time for church building. July 4, 1828, Charles Carroll, of Carroll- 
 ton, laid the cornerstone of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and then began the great era of railway 
 construction which meant the conquest of a continent and in these new facilities Baltimore moved 
 to larger and larger prosperity. Baltimore troops won honors in the War with Mexico. In the 
 Civil War Baltimore suffered much and changed greatly, but between 1860 and 1870 its population 
 increased 55,000, and this increase continued in larger ratio after the war. 
 
 Baltimore has been fortunate in its mayors. I have known them since 1870 and I have served 
 under many of them on commissions and committees. There have been the usual differences due to 
 the acute politics natural to our people, but the mayors I have known have been men devoted to the 
 best interests of the city, keenly loyal to its welfare and zealously assiduous in everything that could 
 promote its growth and trade. Thus we have had a forward policy that was practically continuous. 
 Fifty years ago the city was wise enough to invest $800,000 in Druid Hill Park and to establish a 
 tax on gross street railway receipts that has resulted in a park system which money could not buy 
 and which costs the people nothing. From time to time came the larger improvements, the bridges, 
 the city hall, court house, the water supply, the many schools, the markets and all the other accessories 
 of municipal efficiency. George Peabody's gift of a million dollars for the Peabody Institute, Johns 
 Hopkins' great fund for the university and the medical school, Enoch Pratt's free library, from which 
 Andrew Carnegie took his library plan, and Carnegie's gift of the Maryland Institute Building are 
 among the many benefactions that came to the growing city. Baltimore's growth in culture, in music 
 and in educational facilities was splendid and people came here from every land drawn by the fame 
 and the skill of our teachers and our doctors. The credit for the most intelligently planned and 
 systematically developed suburban development belongs to Baltimore. It has gained enormously in 
 handsome residences and its streets are noted for their good pavements. Fifty years ago the streets 
 were not all paved and I recall horse races along Baltimore Street, the course being from Jones 
 Falls to Howard Street. Then the city got along with modest expenses. Note the contrast! For this 
 year, 1920, Baltimore's budget calls for $28,593,637.70. 
 
 Nothing Baltimore has done excells the Washington Monument which stands in the centre of 
 the city and gives distinction to Mount Vernon Place. This monument is a Doric column of white 
 marble on a base 50 feet square and 35 feet high, the shaft of the column rising 160 feet and 
 surmounted by a statue of Washington fifteen feet high. Second to this beautiful column is the 
 Battle Monument also of marble on Monument Square. There are a score of other monuments 
 including memorials to Poe, Key, Bruce, and the first monument to Christopher Columbus, and 
 they fully justify the title of Monumental City. Following the close of the Great War Maryland 
 desired to erect a memorial to her brave sons who played their part in the mighty struggle. Both 
 State and city appointed committees and then the matter went to the General Assembly with the 
 result that it came out with an appropriation of $200,000 and a new commission. Now city and 
 
 Ptitfe Ttreiifii-i<cven 
 
State got together and decided: "That it is the sense of the joint committee that the soldiers, sailors 
 and marines memorial consist of a memorial building of artistic design, containing proper utili- 
 tarian features, to be determined by the committees of the State and city in conjunction with a 
 building committee recommended to be named by the respective commissions, said memorial build- 
 ing to be located on the ground offered by the city of Baltimore, lying between the following: Gay, 
 Fayette and Lexington streets." 
 
 To the $200,000 of the State the city will add a share and thus we shall doubtless secure a 
 building worthy of its purpose and of the Maryland people. The contrast between the monument 
 to Washington and the memorial under way is an interesting illustration of the idea that has come 
 into the American mind— that it must justify the ornamental by making it useful. Let us hope 
 that the tribute to the brave men of the Great War will be as successful in its way as has been the 
 monument to Washington, one of the noblest columns ever erected. 
 
 From past 80 one may look back and see an active life of fully 65 years. Mine began early; 
 in my teens I was circling the world, and I had four years of seeing other countries before I came 
 to America and served five years in the Union Army. It was my happy fate to love Baltimore the 
 first time I saw it and began to know its people. After the war I entered its life and became one of 
 its workers. For more than a half century I have been in this work. As manager of Maryland's 
 oldest newspaper I have been called upon almost continuously to meet and co-operate with the men 
 and women who have made Baltimore what it is. They are splendid people, the best in the world. 
 Baltimore is fine, generous, cheerful, forward-looking, prosperous because of the people. First and 
 foremost are the people, my friends and your friends. They are the cause and the explanation of 
 the virtues of our city. We have climate, location, water, railroads, nearby mountains and sea. We 
 are next door to the nation's capitol and all the great cities are our neighbors. All are good, but 
 the people are first. In people and position and resources we are blessed beyond other places. If I 
 had my life to go over again I would stay here and find still more happiness among my good neigh- 
 bors and good workers who are proud of their city and who always are glad to do an unselfish 
 service for its welfare. Baltimore is great and fine — but the Baltimoreans, the people who love their 
 city — they are the salt of the earth!

 Though occupying a pusiiiuu of great power and influence, there is no leader in the affiiii-s of America who sets a 
 more nohle example of humility and gentleness of mien, nor is as a counselor and friend of rich and poor alike, more

 Born July 23, 1834, he was baptized at the Cathedral in Baltimore, and at an early age accompanied his parents to 
 Ireland, there to receive his primary education. From childhood he had devoted his every mental faculty to acquirement 
 of that knowledge which was eventually to result in his occupancy of the most exalted position possible to bestow 
 upon one of his faith in his native country. 
 
 With the determination to devote his life to the servici' of the Church, he came to Baltimore from New Orleans.

JACOB El'STEIN. 
 
 Jacob Epstein, founder and praetirallv |ii u]iiietor of the American Wliolesale Corporation (Baltimore Bargain 
 House), Baltimore, was born Decemlici _'s. isr, i, in Taurogen, Russia. He came to Baltimore at the age of seventeen 
 years, and in 1881 he started a wh.il.^iil.' iioiidii business on Barre Street, the dimensions of the store being 18 by 30 
 feet. The business grew rapidly, neci'ssit;iliiig ilie addition of numerous buildings. The American Wholesale Corpora- 
 tion, product of the brain and labors of ilr. Epstein, now covers almost the entire block of Baltimore Street. Howard 
 Street and Liberty Street, running through to Fayette Street, and also the entire block of Scott, Wicomico. Cross and 
 Stockholm Streets. His enterprises also occupy part of the buildings located at Baltimore and Eutaw Streets, running 
 through to Redwood Street, for his clotbina- fiutory, and a large part of the building located at Eagle and Payson Streets 
 for his shirt and overall factory, in ;iiMiii"n t" which he operates several other cloak and suit factories. The varied 
 enterprises now occupies a total of abmii 1. 1 ,.'..ihiii square feet, or twenty-seven acres of floor space. 
 
 The sales of the American Wholf.-<;Ur i ,,i|„ii ation in 1919 were $.35,346,711.91. Though known as a catalogue 
 house, the best portion of the trade is that oi thousands of merchants who come to Baltimore to purchase goods from 
 the Corporation. To his motto, "More goods tor same money — same goods for less money," Mr. Epstein ascribes his 
 great success in creating the huge concern of which he is the head. The American Wholesale Corporation payroll is 
 among the largest in the city, and Mr. Epstein states that much of his success is due to "employing better men and 
 paying better wages than other houses do." 
 
 Mr. Epstein is a director of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore Steam Packet company, City-Wide Congress, 
 Continental Trust Company,' Eudowood Sanatorium, Industrial Corporation of Baltimore City, Merchants' & Manu- 
 facturers' Association, National Exchange Bank, Clothiers' Board of Trade, and on the Executive Committee of the 
 National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities. Heis also interested in numerous benevolent and charitable 
 institutions, in the furtherance of which he devotes much time as a Board member and gives unlimited financial assist- 
 ance. He is a lover of art and music, and has been a factor in making Baltimore an art and music-loving city. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Epstein, with their son-in-law, Mr. A. Ray Katz. and wife, reside in the beautiful home at the 
 entrance of Druid Hill Park, Baltimore. He has another daughter who is the wife of Mr. Sidney Lansburgh, who is 
 associated with Mr. Epstein in the supervision of the affairs of the American Wholesale Corporation.

HOLDEN A. EVANS. 
 
 Holden A. Evans, President of the Baltimore Dry Docks & Shipbuilding Company, Baltimore, 
 Maryland, is one of the best known of that group of men who have been instrumental in the upbuild- 
 ing of many of the greatest industrial enterprises of the country. A business executive of the most 
 efficient type, he possesses in addition an unsurpassed knowledge of both the construction and opera- 
 tion of modern vessels which has enabled him to create and perfect the great shipbuilding organiza- 
 tion the name and reputation of which is known throughout the world. 
 
 Holden A. Evans was born in Greenville, Ala., December 6, 1871, the son of Holden and Martha 
 Anderson (Van Allen) Evans, both sides of the house being connected with several of the most promi- 
 nent old Southern families and dating their ancestry from early colonial days. His preliminary 
 education was acquired at the Alabama High School at Tuskegee, Ala., and after its completion, he 
 entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, from which he was graduated with the class 
 of 1892. He first served as a Midshipman and Ensign, and, having evinced great aptitude, was 
 selected by the Navy Department to specialize in naval construction. From 1895 to 1897 Mr. Evans 
 took a two years' post-graduate course in naval architecture and marine engineering at the University 
 of Glasgow, Scotland, being awarded class prizes in both years, with certificates of merit with 
 "great distinction." 
 
 In 1897 Holden A. Evans was appointed as Assistant Naval Constructor in the United States 
 Navy and assigned to duty at the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company. He continued 
 on duty there until the outbreak of the war with Spain, when he was assigned to take charge of repairs 
 to the blockading fleet, with headquarters at Key West, Florida. 
 
 Following the war, Holden A. Evans was assigned to duty with the Bureau of Construction, and 
 later he supervised the construction of naval vessels at Crescent Bay Ship Yard at Elizabethport, 
 N. J. He then undertook similar duties at the plant of the Gas Engine & Power Company, at Morris 
 Heights, New York City, where he remained until August, 1899, and from that date until 1909 he 
 was Constructor and Manager of the Mare Island Navy Yard, California. He was then assigned to 
 special duty at yards at Seattle, Wash., Bath, Me., Boston, Washington and Norfolk, continuing until 
 1910. 
 
 In 1911 Mr. Evans resigned from the service to become Vice-President of the Seattle Construc- 
 tion and Dry Docks Company, which he had improved to a high standard of operating efficiency, 
 when he was elected, in 1914, Vice-President and General Manager of the Skinner Shipbuilding & 
 Dry Dock Company at Baltimore. The aggressive efforts of the newly-appointed General Manager 
 accomplished notable results, which were recognized when later the company was absorbed by the 
 Baltimore Dry Docks & Ship Building Company, Mr. Evans being continued as Vice-President and 
 General Manager until September 1, 1916, when he was elected to the Presidency of the combined 
 companies. 
 
 His comprehensive knowledge of the shipping industry, his sound judgment in the selection of 
 associates and subordinates, and his great business ability and complete grasp of the emergency 
 situation that arose in connection with the rapid building of the new South Plant, were main factors in 
 the successful culmination of the work undertaken for the Government. 
 
 As the business activities of the plant returned to a more strictly commercial basis, his ability 
 to cope with and adapt the enterprise to the new conditions confirmed the assurance that this great 
 organization will ever continue to succeed with the guidance of its master mind, Holden A. Evans. 
 
 Mr. Evans is a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the American 
 Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Bankers Club, India House, and Whitehall Club of New York, 
 and Army and Navy Club of Washington, the Baltimore Country Club and Maryland Club of Balti- 
 more, and the Seaview Golf Club of Absecon, N. J.

WILLIAM HENRY O'CONNELL. 
 
 William Henry O'ConnolI. chairman o£ the board of directors, Citizens Natiunal Eank, Baltimore, was born in 
 Berkshire County, Massachusetts, July 28, 1843, the son of William and Wealthy Ann (Karner) O'Connell. He received 
 his education in the Little Red School-house in his native State, and while yet but a boy he journeyed to the Middle 
 West States of Indiana and Illinois, there engaging in the grain business for the period of three years. He eventually 
 decided that the East afforded greater opportunities for the business career which he had in mind, and in 1865, having 
 come to Baltimore, he entered the employ of the Citizens National Bank of that city. His first position was that of 
 bank runner or errand boy, which led to his being promoted to paying teller within a few years. His efficient discharge 
 of the duties of paying teller were promptly recognized by the officials of the Citizens National Bank, and Mr. 
 O'Connell was elected to the office of vice-president and later president. 
 
 For about five years Mr. O'Connell has been chairman of the board of directors of the Citizens Bank. He has 
 literally brought up the employees and ofBcers of the institution, having perfected an organization of the highest degree 
 of efBeiency, the individual members of which are trained to a fine conception of their several duties, and are further- 
 more desirous of maintaining perfect co-operation in the interest of their clientele and the leader who has shaped their 
 business destinies.

DR. MERVILLE HAMILTON CARTER. 
 
 Doctoi' Jlerville Hamilton Carter is a native of Virginia, liaving been born in Frederick County, Va., on August 
 21, 1857 ; son of Doctor James Pendleton and Mary Sophia (Stier) Carter. The Carter family of Virginia is in the 
 line of direct descent from Robert Carter, a noted character of the American colonics who achieved fame by rea.son of 
 his great land possessions and his dominating personality. His name has been brought down in history, which usually- 
 refers to him as "King" Carter. 
 
 Doctor Carter received his earlier education in local schools of the village in which he was reared, and later 
 attended the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He was a school teacher for two terms, then entered the College of Physi- 
 cians and Surgeons in Baltimore, graduating in 1878. He practiced medicine near Martinsburg, West Virginia, and in 
 1884 moved to Baltimore, being for fifteen years visiting physician of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. He was a member 
 of the Board of School Commissioners from 1892 until 1898, and a member of the Baltimore City Water Board from 
 1900 to 1904. From 1898 until 1918 he was a director of the Drovers and Mechanics National Bank. He is now a 
 director of The National Exchange Bank, President of the Board of Directors of the Southern Hotel Company, active on 
 the Executive Boards of the Boyden Steel Corporation, Emery Steel Castings Company, Westport Paving Brick Com- 
 pany, Federal Finance Company, and other companies. 
 
 Doctor Carter was engaged in the practice of his profession when he originated the basic formulas now constituting 
 the Resinol preparations, the value of which he demonstrated in the treatment of persons afflicted with various skin 
 troubles. These preparations were brought to the attention of the medical profession in 1896, and their successful 
 application brought the Resinol preparations into the favor of both physicians and the public. The demand became 
 so great that Doctor Carter abandoned the active practice of medicine and has since supervised the manufacture of 
 the preparations, the Resinol Chemical Company and its products being now nationally and internationally known. 
 
 Doctor Carter is affiliated with the various Masonic bodies from the Blue Lodge to the Shrine ; is a member of the 
 Baltiomre Yacht Club, Commonwealth Club, Annapolitan Club of Annapolis, Baltimore Athletic. Maryland Jockey Clubs. 
 He is also a member of the advisory board of the Old Colony Club and identilied with other civic, social, and commer- 
 cial organizations. 
 
 On May 20, 1880, Doctor Carter married Emma Sheppard Gold, daughter of William H. and Margaret (Wood) 
 Gold, of Winchester, Virginia. To this union were born two children, Julian G. and H. Leroy Carter. 
 
 Dr. Carter's country residence, "Mer Villa," on the Severn River near Round Bay, is one of the most beautiful 
 country places in this region of magnificent suburban abodes. 
 
 His city home is at 2900 North Calvert Street, and his offices are at the plant of the Resinol Chemical Company, 
 West Lombard Street, Baltimore, Md.

HON. JOHN LOWRY SANFORD. 
 
 The legal practitioners of Maryland having as a body always been in the vanguard of their 
 profession, it is with difficulty that one may refer to any individual as being pre-eminent in the 
 ranks of his endeavor. However, when his distinguished colleagues at the Bar hail John L. Sanford 
 as one of the most brilliant jurists, counsellors, and pleaders in the courts of Maryland, we concede 
 with pleasure the honor which is undoubtedly his. 
 
 John Lowry, son of N. Knight and Annie M. Sanford (nee Iglehart), was born at Baltimore, 
 Maryland, on June 9, 1872. He was graduated from Baltimore City College in 1893, and accepted 
 the Chair of History in that institution. Notwithstanding the active part he has taken in the profes- 
 sional, political and social life of Baltimore, he continues to be a close student of history and is a 
 writer on subjects connected with English history in particular. He studied law, was admitted to 
 practice, and has continued in close application to his profession from that time — 189.5, until the 
 present. 
 
 Mr. Sanford has also found time to devote to public affairs. He represented the Second Legis- 
 lative District of Baltimore City in the Legislatures of 1900 and of 1901, and has also served as Com- 
 missioner for Opening Streets and as a member of the Annex Improvement Commission. In the 
 latter capacities his tenure in offices was from 1913 until 1916, during the greater portion of which 
 time he acted as President of the Commissions and brought the offices up to a high grade of efficiency. 
 
 Mr. Sanford has been connected with much important litigation and is an active trial lawyer, al- 
 though during the past few years he has devoted the major portion of his time as a consulting 
 attorney. 
 
 On December 7, 1909, Mr. Sanford married M. Jennings Carroll, daughter of S. John and Susan 
 P. Carroll. To the union have been born five children, four of whom are now living, viz. : John L. 
 Sanford, Jr., Anne Iglehart Sanford, David Hoyle Sanford and William L. Sanford. His residence 
 is at 2729 North Charles street, and he maintains a suite of offices in the Munsey Building, Baltimore.

J. M. WILLIS. 
 
 The career of J. M. Willis, the Vice-President and General Manager of the Baltimore Dry Docks 
 & Ship Building Co., is typical of an alert and ambitious American youth who possesses pluck, deter- 
 mination and a definite intention to excel in a chosen pursuit. 
 
 Mr. Willis began his shipbuilding career in 1898, at the age of thirteen, as a rivet boy in the 
 Mare Island Navy Yard. He started in with the intention to combine diligent study with faithful 
 work and following out this plan he was soon able to secure a position as an Apprentice Electrical 
 Machinist. While so serving he studied diligently, and after two years passed a competitive exam- 
 ination for appointment as Draftsman. He served in the drafting room for four years, and it was 
 while so engaged that he first attracted the attention of Mr. Holden A. Evans, then Manager of the 
 Mare Island Yard. Five other boys were engaged in the same department with Mr. Willis, all serv- 
 ing in the same capacity, but Mr. Evans discovered that these five were of the type who merely at- 
 tended to their routine work and made no effort to secure the more advanced education which would 
 have resulted in their efficiency and subsequent promotion. Since that time Mr. Willis has been 
 almost continuously in association with Mr. Evans. 
 
 In 1908 Secretary Meyer, of the United States Navy, selected Mr. Evans to reorganize the Navy 
 Yards of the United States, directing him to begin at the Norfolk Navy Yard, and Mr. Willis was 
 appointed to assist him in that great task. 
 
 In 1910 Mr. Willis resigned to take charge of the machinery department of the Seattle Construc- 
 tion and Dry Dock Company, of Seattle, Washington, which position he left in 1911 to become Shop 
 Superintendent of the Navy Yard at Puget Sound. In 1914, when Mr. Evans went to Baltimore to 
 take charge of the Skinner Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Company, it was his wish that Mr. Willis 
 accompany him to assist in the management of the company, and the two executives speedily en- 
 larged the scope of its operations. 
 
 It was not long before the Skinner Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Company was incorporated 
 under the name of the Baltimore Dry Docks & Ship Building Co., with Mr. Willis as Superintendent 
 of the Yards. 
 
 In 1916 he became Vice-President of the Company, which had by then more than doubled its 
 earning capacity, and in June, 1917, Mr. Willis was promoted to the position of Vice-President and 
 General Manager of the Baltimore Dry Docks & Ship Building Company.

 great business enterprises in the State of Maryland, and is the nephew of the late Governor E. E.

 of his father's various business interests, and in 1887 he became a partner in the firm of E. E. Jack- 
 son & Company. When the Jackson Brothers Company was organized in 1893, he became its Secre-

ROBERT GRAIN. 
 Although more widely known, perhaps, as a highly successful corporation lawyer and a \)i 
 Hon. Robert Grain must be recorded as one of the foremost farmers of the country, certaiTi 
 Maryland. And it is as a scientific and practical agriculturist that he prefers to be regard' 
 his love for broad acres, for blooded stock and for growing crops. Mr. Grain was born in ( 
 November 12, 186.5. the son of Dr. Robert and Nellie Morgan Grain. He received his (mIii 
 Academy, St. John's College, Annapolis, and the degree of LL.B. from the University of Marv 
 a law partnership with Omer F. Hershey and continued said partnership, under the firm n; 
 until October 1. 101(1. This law firm grew to be one of the largest firms in the city of B;

 Always a Democrat. Mr. Grain was a delegate at twenty-one years "i' n^( tn ilic TIiukh nil ir Niilinnal Gonvention 
 at St. Loius, where he organized the National League of Democratic Chili-, whirli pl.ivil ;i \.ii imiiii unit purl in the

 visor of Elections and also a member of the Excise Board for Baltimore City. 
 
 In 1911, at a largely attended meeting in the Mayor's office, Mr. Grain was unanimously chosen to represent Balti- 
 more in its efforts to secure the Democratic National Convention of 1912. The press of the country laughed at the 
 idea of holding a National Gonvention in Baltimore, but Mr. Grain quietly went about the country, and when the 
 National Committee met in Washington to select the Convention Gltv, It was found Mr. Grain had succeeded in raising 
 .flOO.OOO. which was handed over to the Committee and Baltimore was selected. Under Mr. Grain's personal super- 
 vision the Fifth Regiment Armory was transformed into the most beautiful Convention Hall in the history of the 
 country. 
 
 Mr. Grain attended the San Francisco Gonvention in 1920 as a delegate-at-Iarge from Maryland. 
 
 Born at Mt. Victoria, the ancestral home of the Grains for five generations, throughout his life Mr. Grain has been 
 identified with agriculture. For more than thirty years he has been acquiring gradually the colonial estates adjacent to 
 Mt. Victoria, and now owns and operates on the most scientific scale a ten thousand acre farm — ^the largest agricul- 
 tural enterprise east of the Ohio River. He has succeeded in bringing back to life a section of Maryland which for 
 thirty years after the Civil War was a wilderness. Wbile his farming has been diversified, he has given special atten- 
 tion to the breeding of registered Shorthorn cattle, and his herd is now reco.anized as second to none in the country. 
 A few years ago at the International Show at Chicago his great young bull, Mt. Victoria Stamp (436234) was sold 
 for .$9, 000. 
 
 Appointed first by the late Governor Warfield as a member of the Board of Directors of the Maryland Agricultural 
 College, Mr. Grain has served consecutively to the present time. As the chairman of a committee on reorganization, he

RICHARD BENNETT DARNALL. 
 
 Richard Bennett Darnall, son of Frank H. and Eleanor Carroll Darnall, was born at the family 
 home, "Portland Manor," Anne Arundel County, on January 9, 1877. He received his collegiate 
 education at Georgetown University and graduated in law at the University of Maryland, in 1899. 
 He entered the practice of law in Baltimore in 1900 and was formerly associated with Judge Walter 
 I. Dawkins. In September, 1919, a partnership was formed with Mr. Harry E. Karr and Mr. Edward 
 M. Hammond, the firm style being Karr, Hammond & Darnall. Mr. Darnall is a member of the 
 University, Baltimore, Merchants and L'Hirondelle (of Ruxton) Clubs, also the Maryland Historical 
 Society. He married Frances Hopkins, of Cecil County, Maryland. He resides at Ruxton, Maryland, 
 and his law offices are in the Fidelity Building, Baltimore. 
 
 Mr. Darnall comes of very distinguished ancestry. Henry Darnall, of Birds' Place, Parish of 
 Essenden, England, counselor at law of Gray's Inn, London, left at his death in 1607 seven children. 
 (The portraits of Philip the fourth, son, and that of his wife are at "Poplar Hill," one of the Dar- 
 nall estates.) 
 
 John Darnall, Esq., a Secondary of the Pipe, married (first) Susan, daughter of John Mynne, 
 secondly, Susan, daughter of Roger Lawrence and Elizabeth Mynne. As Sir George Calvert married 
 for his first wife Anne Mynne of the same family, the relationship between the Darnalls and the 
 Calverts is apparent, proofs of lineal descent being accessible in England. Hence it is not surpris- 
 ing to find two young scions of the Birds' Place Darnalls emigrating to Maryland, in 1672, to fill 
 high and confidential offices under the Calverts. John, younger brother of Colonel Henry Darnall, 
 was secretary to his Lordship, while Colonel Henry was made Collector of the Port of St. Mary's, 
 Justice of Provincial Court, Member of Council, and Colonel of Horse. Later he was agent for the 
 Proprietary and one time Deputy Governor of Maryland. 
 
 John Darnall located at Portland Manor, Anne Arundel County. He married Susannah, grand- 
 daughter of Governor Richard Bennett, of Virginia, the forbear of so many prominent Marylanders. 
 This is the same Portland Manor, a large portion of which remains in the possession of Mr. Darnall 
 and his father. 
 
 Upon the death of John Darnall in 1684 his widow became the wife of Colonel Henry Lowe, a 
 nephew of Lady Jane Baltimore. Colonel Henry Darnall, who outlived his younger brother, was 
 called "The Woodyard," the rather peculiar name of his great estate in Prince George's County. 
 In addition to "The Woodyard," Colonel Henry Darnall owned other large estates, notably "My 
 Lord's Kindness" and "The GirPs Portion." At the time of the Protestant Revolution, Colonel 
 Henry Darnall, a strong adherent of his kinsman, the Proprietary, was active in raising a large force 
 of men from up the Patuxent, with whom he hoped to go to the assistance of Col. William Digges, 
 Deputy Governor of the Province, in his defense of St. Mary's. Unfortunately, Col. Darnall's men 
 did not reach the capital in time to render the much-needed service for which they had taken up arms, 
 and the little city had to be surrendered to Coade and his followers. St. Mary's was the social 
 centre for the high Colonial officials and their families in the winter season. Here lived Col. Wm. 
 Digges, Attorney-General, Charles Carroll and evidently the Darnalls part of the year at least. 
 
 For his second wife the dashing Colonel Henry Darnall, possessed of many dignities and wide- 
 spreading acres, married the widow of Col. Thomas Brooke, of Brookfield, the erstwhile charming 
 Elinor Hatton, by whom he had a large family. 
 
 That social lines were not relaxed in Provincial Maryland is strikingly illustrated in the marriage 
 of the Darnalls, all of whom for four generations at least married representatives in the Province of 
 titled English or Irish families, so descendants of the two early settlers could easily outrank in their 
 quarterings many of the peerage of to-day. 
 
 Three beautiful Darnall women became wives of distinguished Carrolls, of Maryland, the men 
 winning for their brides daughters of the early lords of the manor and their descendants. Henry 
 Darnall, fourth of his name in Maryland, continued the family custom of marrying ladies of high 
 degree by taking to wife the niece and ward of George, fourteenth Earl of Shrewsbury. Henry 
 Darnall built for his son Henry, Jr., on the occasion of this marriage, "Poplar Hill," which has con- 
 tinued in the family, but curiously has not descended from father to son, and is now owned by Henry 
 Dangerfield, who inherited it from an aunt, who in turn inherited it from an uncle, Robert Sewell, 
 nephew of Robert Darnall.

W,ALTEE BAYARD SWINDELL. 
 
 Walter Bayard Swindell, executive head of Swindell Brothers, Baltimore, manufacturers of glassware, was born In 
 Baltimore MarVland, on ,Tulv 21. 1850. a son of William and Henrietta (Milliard) Swindell. He received his education 
 in the public schools of his" native city, and after engaging in various occupations, he determined, when at the age of 
 eighteen, to enter the business which had been followed by both his grandfather and father before him. 
 
 The firm of Swindell Brothers was organized in 187.9 by William Swindell, (whose life career is recounted in the 
 memorial section of this volume) our subject, Walter Bayard Swindell, and his brothers. They entered the Crystal 
 Window Glass Works, the first unit of this great industry, shortly after organization of the company, and in 1880, 
 a factory was added to manufacture green bottles. In 1883 another factory was erected, for the purpose of making 
 flintware. 
 
 At the time of the organization of Swindell Brothers, Walter B. Swindell was junior member and his father senior 
 member of the Arm. Since the death of his brothers. John W. and George E., (in 1876 and 1885 respectively), and of 
 William Swindell, his father, (in 1891), Walter Bayard Swindell has been the active head of this great company, which 
 owes its present position in business to the ability and powers of directorship possessed by its leader. 
 
 In Mr. Swindell one finds the wonderful personal traits of his late father, one of which is the power to make 
 himself beloved by all with whom he comes in contact — acjuaintances, friends, and employees. One need not have 
 known him for a great length of time to appreciate the sterling character and lofty ideals which are cherished by this 
 gentleman, whose conception of his every transaction is based on an unalterable standard of honor. 
 
 Not alone in the industrial development of his city and State has Mr. Swindell been active. He has been a

ROBERT BRUCE BIGGS. 
 
 The paternal ancestors of Robert Bruce Biggs came to America from England in 17G0. settling first in Bucks 
 County, Pa. In 1779 the.v removed to Frederick County, Maryland, where they took up a large tract of land on what is 
 now known as the Great Bend o( the Monocacy River. 
 
 His maternal ancesters who were related to the Bruce family of Scotland, came from that country to America at 
 the close of the War of 1812 and settled in Frederick County, Maryland. 
 
 Robert Biggs is a son of Joshua Biggs and Phebe S. Biggs. He was born in Frederick County, Maryland, on the 
 2.3rd day of February, 1861. He received his earlier education in the public schools of that county and later went to 
 Mt. St. "Mary's College for his collegiate education. He graduated from that school in 1880 and in the fall of that year 
 entered the University of Maryland, law department, from which school he graduated in May, 1882. 
 
 Mr. Biggs began the practice of his profession in 1885 in the City of Baltimore and is now recognized as being 
 among the most eminent attorneys in the State. 
 
 The degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Mt. St. Mary's College in 1908 and the same degree was later 
 conferred upon him in 1913 by Loyola College. 
 
 Mr. Biggs has always been actively interested in civic and philanthropic movements which might tend to benefit 
 the city and its people. He takes a prominent part among the laymen of the Catholic Church in all of their charitable 
 movements and has for the past fifteen years been the president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, a world-wide 
 organization of Catholic laymen organized for the relief of all persons who fall into need or who require help of 
 any kind. 
 
 Mr. Biggs is affiliated with the Catholic Club, the City Club and the University Club. 
 
 As an expression of the esteem In which he is held by his fellow-citizens, Mr. Biggs was elected In January, 1920, 
 to the Maryland State Senate, to succeed the Honorable Peter Campbell. It may he regarded as fortunate that the

 the State of Maryland tn ili.' (",-,■ in the world of commerce, none have been more truly active, more desirous to further 
 the interests of the cominuiiiii . ihan has that great industry, the Consolidation Coal Company.

 financial and business transactions in this and other States, the Consolidation Coal Company merits and receives the 
 respect due an enterprise of its magnitude, both as concerns its officials and the organization as a whole. It is our 
 desire to submit to the public in general and to the citizens of Baltimore in particular, a brief outline of the career of 
 one official of the company with whom Baltimoreans are best acquainted — namely, William L. Andrews, its vice-president.

 William S. Briddell, executive liead of tlie Briddell Transfer Company, Baltimore, was boi'i] 
 son of William and Mary P. Briddell. 
 
 In 1885, Mr. Briddell began his career as a bookkeeper for John Duer & Sons, and in 190.5, he established_ the 
 Briddell Transfer Company at .34 South Calvert Street, later moving the business to 19 East Lombard Street, where it 
 is now located. 
 
 The Briddell Transfer Company has as its slogan, "We move anything that can be moved; large or small." Thoy 
 operate from io to IS auto trucks and about 50 to 60 horse-drawn teams. They employ from 100 to 12."; men, and 
 have the equipment to either haul or install the largest machinery at any required place. 
 
 ■Wliile local and long distance hauling of all descriptions is their business, the specialty of the Briddell Transfer 
 Company consists in installing the articles after they have reached their destination. They install power house 
 dismantle plants, etc.

 shops, build wagons and auto bodies, have complete blacksmith, wheelwright, paint, machine and harness shops at their 
 groat plant on Saratoga Street. At least 50 per cent, of their business is transacted with firms outside of the city of 
 Baltimore, which is surprising in view of the fact that their activities in Baltimore are on a much larger scale than 
 those of their competitors. Great loads of freight may be seen daily moving to and from the railroads on the trucks

ALBERT A. BLAKENEY. 
 
 The career of Alliert A. Blakeney, formerly president and general manager of the Thistle Mills, eotton manufac- 
 turers, Ilchester, Maryland, is typi<-ally that of the self-made man. 
 
 He was born at I,utli.T\ ill.'. Maryland, on September 28, 1S50, one of the seven children of .John D. and Sarah 
 (Gaunt) Blakeney. Ills lailni- served in the calvary of the Union Army and was killed at Mobile, Alabama, leaving 
 his widow with the respcuisihility nf carin.g- for her children. 
 
 Albert A. Blakeney worked in the fields for a dollar a week and later in the Woodberry Mills, where he acquired his 
 first knowledge of cotton manufacturing. He attended the public schools when the opportunity afforded, and studied 
 in the night schools regularly, in the meanwhile perfecting and enlarging upon his ideas of the cotton business. 
 
 In ISOl, ;Mr. Blakeney determined to enter the cotton manufacturing business for himself, and leased the Fi'anklin- 
 ville Mills, buying them outright in 1893. These mills he sold in 1900 and purchased a half interest in the Savage 
 Mills, and this interest he sold in 1910 to buy an Interest in the Thistle Mills, of which he is now the large'.'t owner. 
 In .January, 1920, he sold the latter mills and is now erecting a cotton weaving mill on North Gay Street, Baltimore. 
 He owns the Co-Operative Syndicate, of Baltimore, printers 
 
 Mr. Blakeney began to take an interest in public affairs of the State many years ago, and was elected to the 57th 
 Congress in 1900 on the Republican ticket, and elected Commissioner of Baltimore County on the same ticket in 1895 
 for a term of six years, having served for a time as president of the Commission. He is now a candidate for Congress 
 from the Second District, on the Republican ticket, and owing to his popularity with the people whom he would repre- 
 sent, will probably l)e elected. 
 
 For many years Mr. Blakeney has repeatedly been re-elected president of the Union League Club of Maryland ; is a 
 member of the City Club, of Crusade Commandery, Knight Templars ; Mount Ararat Lodge and Boumi Temple lodges, 
 and has served as a member of the Baltimore County School Board. He is vice-president and a director of the Gardiner 
 Dairy Company, a director of the Chesapeake Iron Works, formerly the Layer & Harper Co., of Liberty Bank of Wood- 
 lawn Junction, and of the Woodlawn Cemetery Co., Baltimore.

ailLLAED E. TYDINGS. 
 
 Few are the men of Maryland or any otlier State of the Union who have, in view of his comparative youth, 
 achieved the laurels won by Millard E. Tydings, soldier, statesman and lawyer, within the period of thirty years. ' 
 
 Millard E. Tydings was born April 6, 1890, at Havre de Grace, Maryland, sou of Millard F. and May B. (O'Neill) 
 Tydings. He attended High School and entered Maryland State College in 1906 ; graduating in 1910 with B.S. degree in 
 mechanical engineering; studied law at the University of Maryland, 1911 to 1913, being admitted to the bar in August 
 of that year.

 R. E. in West Virginia, engaged in the removal of mountain tunnels.

JAMES KNOX INSLEY 
 record of men pi'ominent in public, businesis or profc 
 
 In compiling a record of men prominent in public, businesis or professional affairs of the state of Maryland, we 
 note with interest an unusual status existent among the leading members of the medical profession of this state 
 which is practically peculiar to medical men of Maryland alone. This is the fact that many of our better known phy- 
 sicians and surgeons haye achieyed fame in yarious other fields of activity , aside from that of their professions. 
 Many are officials of great business or manufacturing enterprises, and a greater number have distinguished them- 
 selves as officials in charge of the physical wellbeing of the people in our cities. A lesser number have been act- 
 ive in the lawmaking bodies of the State, promoting constructive legislation which insures improved standards of 
 public health. 
 
 Dr. James Knox Insley, of Baltimore City, who for a number of years has there been engaged in the practice 
 of his profession, has not only served the State of Maryland as a member of the Legislature which is responsible 
 for the passage of laws under which the people are governed — ho has been and now is an official of the Baltimore 
 City administration, wliicli complies with the laws enacted by the State. 
 
 James Knox liislry. sou of Esau S. D. and Annie (Dickey) Insley, was born April 15, 1886, in Wicomico county, 
 on the famed lOasinii Shore of Maryland. He attained his earlier education in the High School at Salisbury, 
 Maryland, and .subsecjuently became a student at St. John's College, at Annapolis, one of the oldest institutions 
 for advanced education in the United States. Lastly, he entered the medical department of the University of Mary- 
 land, being honorably graduated with M. D. degree at the completion of bis course.

T. ROWLAND THOMAS, PRESIDENT NATIONAL BANK OF BALTIMORE. 
 
 The Stokt of a Bank That is Its 125 Years of Existence Has Never Failed to Pay a Dividend. 
 
 The dean of Southern banks, and the fifth oldest banking institution in the United States, the National Bank of 
 Baltimore, was chartered in 1795. and has stood on the original site in the heart of the city for 125 years. In the fall 
 the l)ank proposes to fittinjily celebrate its one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary. Founded in a modest brick 
 building at Miuki't i iiciw I'.a'ltimore) and St. Paul Streets, many of the depositors' names are still found upon its 
 hijDks. liist ijlacr lirin:; lirlil liy the Vestry of St. Paul's Parish, whose account has continued from the opening of the 
 b;ink unril tlie priv.in H;:\, a century and a quarter of unbroken business relations. The bank's records also show that 
 Chas. Carroll, ui I'arrnjlton. was among its early depositors. 
 
 During the stirring days of the War of 1S12, when the British attacked Baltimore, they met with bloody defeat at 
 the hands of General .John Strieker, who prior to that time had been president of the Bank of B.altimorc, and who 
 at the time of his death in 1 825 again held that office. 
 
 General Strieker was iml Mi.' only prcsidiMit of this institution to bear his country's arms. General Thompson, a 
 former commandant al I'i>i I M(lbniy. wlii<li held thi' British at bay on that memorable night of September 12, 1814, 
 when Francis Scott Key wi-ti.' hi^ immortal "Star Spangled Itannei-." became president of the bank in 186,3. 
 
 When the Government put uut an issue o£ .fT.OOO.Udd Intiids in 1.S12 to help defray the expenses of the war, this 
 bank subscribed to ifi'jO.imt) of the issue, and in the W.^rld Wai'. true to its traditions, the National Bank of Balti- 
 more "went over the top" in its subscriptions to the res|jr, ii\ ,. Lilirrty Loan issues, Mr. Thomas having been a mem- 
 ber of the Board of Managers of the Liberty Loan Associatidii ci Baltimore. In the same spirit of patriotism manifest- 
 ed by his early predecessors, Mr. Thomas also served his country in an hour of need, having volunteered and served 
 throughout the Spanish-American war. 
 
 Mr. Thomas was born in St. Mary's county, Maryland, on March 7, 1874, the son of Doctor James Thomas and 
 Nannie Nelson Thomas : his father was descended from an old Maryland family, and his mother was a member of the 
 Nelson family of Virginia. His great-uncle, .Tam<'s Thomas, was Governor of Maryland in 18.36. 
 
 While a golf enthusiast and a member .ii' the Baltimore Country Club, the Merchants Club and the University 
 Club of Baltimore, Mr. Thomas lias one speiinl Iml.by. bis farm, which is located at historic St. Mary's City, in St. 
 Mary's County, where Lord Baltimore established the -Vmerican Colony in 1634. 
 
 Mr. Thomas was educated at Charlotte Hall School in St. Mary's County, and came to Baltimore in his sixteenth 
 yeai', when he started as a runner for the National Howard Bank, and later went with the National Mechanics Bank, 
 where he was Receiving Teller at the time he became Cashier of the Mercantile Bank in 1906. In 1907 he became 
 Cashier of the Third National B.ink and in 1910 its President. 
 
 In December, lOlo, i1h> I'liiid National Bank bought control of the National Bank of Baltimore, arrangements hav- 
 ing been decided upon t juiijlrii- the purchase through the regular exchange of bank credits. However, on the night be- 
 fore the date set for the icuisiiiiimation of the purchase, the representatives of the National Bank of Baltimore informed 
 the executives of the Third National Bank that the full settlement for the entire capital stock of the National Bank of

COL. JOHN ICEATING. 
 
 Among the successful business men of Western Maryland, Col. John Keating ranks well to the fore. In business 
 and finance circles. Col. Keating, whose home is in Cumberland, has been for years, and still is, an important member 
 and is generally recognized and respected as a man of probity whose standing as a resident in his home city is un- 
 questioned. 
 
 •Col. John Keating is one of the last men to seek publicity. His whole life has been devoted to his business Inter- 
 ests, in the success of which he well may be proud ; an active man to-day, in the prime of life, his energy is witnessed 
 by his executive connection with several of the most important business and financial interests here and elsewhere. 
 
 Col. Keafing, it may be said, has three hobbies: First, business; seinnd. Iiis Ij : tbinl. In- i].:iilv bives to dabble in 
 
 politics — he is a Democrat whose standing is high at home ami tlirc.iiL;liMni ihr si Mr .ii Mai\Liiid. Ilreently he was

 Cox man and voted for Cox from start to finish. That's Col. Keating, Uie man, a denial, e\ eu Icmijcred, well-versed 
 and pnlilic sijiritert man, plain without any frills, a good mixer, a staunch friend, a worker today, just as he was years 
 ago wlii'H lir siMrti'il as clerk in a grocery store, following education in a private school. 
 
 such as this needs no flowery language to tell of Col. John Keating, the man. Of Irish descent 
 
 and proud of it, he displays the energetic traits of the F,mei-ald Isle 
 without question. His whole business career is centrreil in ;iinl .ivi

 1870, son of Eugene and Mary (Armstrong) Levering. The 
 Levering family, particularly Mr. Eugene Levering, his son. 
 Eugene, Jr., and his brothers have been prominently identified 
 with the financial, business and civic affairs of Baltimore and 
 the State for many years. 
 
 Eugene Levering, Jr., received his earlier education at Carey's 
 and Marston's private schools, and completed his collegiate 
 studies at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. 
 
 In ISOO he began his business career in connection with the 
 firm of E. Levering & Company, of which firm he became a 
 member in 1896. He continued as a firm member until 1900, 
 then withdrew from the partnership, retaining the roasting 
 coffee business of E. Levering & Company as an equivalent of 
 his interest in the firm. Following his withdrawal from E.

 CHARLES T. FARNEN. 
 
 Charles T. Farnen. executive head of the Eastern Hardware 
 & Supply Company, Baltimore, was born in that city on August 
 21, 1892, the son of .Joseph L. and Mary J. Farnen. He was 
 educated at Calvert Hall College, Baltimore.

 he organizort the Steel & Wire Products Company at Pittsburgh, 
 Pa.; in lIHs, tin. X;iss:iii St..! r..mii;inv of Manor, Pa., and in 
 1919, til.' Si<r| \ Will. I'n.diiris I'oiiipany of Philadelphia, Pa. 
 
 The i;astrni I l:inlwaii' & Supply Company is now doing a 
 business of over one million dollars annually, and is conceded 
 to be one of the most efficient organizations of its kind in the 
 United States. The executives in charge of various departments 
 are all young men. being of average age thirty-three years, and 
 having had average experience of seventeen years each in the 
 hardware line. Haying been literally born in the business, they 
 have acquired a broad viewpoint of its requirements, both as to 
 sales promotion and also that greater essential upon which the 
 success of a business organization depends — co-operation. Co- 
 operation between department beads, between department heads 
 and their subordinates, and among the fatter. Is the outstanding 
 reason for the enviable reputation enjoyed by this firm and for 
 the great amount of business transacted year after year. 
 
 Among other explanations for the spirit of co-operation dis- 
 played by the employees of the Eastern Hardware & Supply 
 Company is the consideration and Just treatment accorded them 
 b.v the officials of the company, A striking example of their 
 desire to further the well-being of the men is the great farm of 
 one hundred and thirty odd acres on the Magathy River near 
 tile Chesapeake Bay, for habitation of all employees and their 
 families throughout the summer months. There they obtain all 
 the comforts of a home, and raise for their own use the fruits 
 and vegetables for consumption during tlie year. 
 
 Truly a great company which accords such liberal treatment 
 to its employees deserves the prosperity which is the lot of the 
 Eastern Hardware & Supply Company and its head, Charles T. 
 Farnen,

GENERAL FELIX ANGUS — Continued from page 9. 
 
 After the war General Agnus served for a short time as assist- 
 ant assessor in the internal revenue office in Baltimore. He 
 was appointed consul at Londonderry, Ireland, and was con- 
 firmed by the Senate, but declined the place. He gave up all 
 other offers of political preferment in order that he might 
 devote all his time and energy to the Baltimore American, of 
 which he assumed the business nianageiiimt .Inly 4. I sr.'.i, after 
 service in the business department. I^'unii lsr,;i i..]- .,vit Hfty 
 years he guided the destinies of the oldest newspaper in 
 America. He worked in full harmony with Mr. C. C. Fulton 
 during his life and Mr. Fulton so appreciated his work that he 
 executed a deed of trust and appointed him sole manager of 
 the paper. 
 
 Being both publisher and editor of the American. General 
 Agnus built it up to one of the great newspapers of the world. 
 He was first to see the power of the popular-priced paper and 
 led in bringing the American to its large circulation. He was 
 pioneer in the Sunday field, and for a long time the Sunday 
 American had no competitor. He sent his special representa- 
 tives to all parts of the world and was a friend and fellow 
 worker with Raymond, Bennett, Jones. Watterson, Forney, 
 Medill. Emory Smith and the great publishers and editors of 
 the second h.nlf of the nineteenth century. 
 
 When the Baltimore fire of 1904 destroyed the business dis- 
 trict of Baltimore, it swept away the American's home. Gen- 
 eral Agnus at once found facilities for printing his paper in 
 Washington and brought it to Baltimore by special trains. 
 Before the fire was out he had plans for his new building, and 
 these were for the finest newspaper structure in the Soutli. 
 He called in the most famous builders of America and said he 
 wanteil tlie liuilding completed within a year. Nobody thought 
 it ciHibl l)i> (li>ue. but the day before the year was up the build- 
 ing wa.s handed over and the paper was printed from it. This 
 was the first big building erected in the fire zone, a beautiful 
 structure of 16 stories, housing the best newspaper plant that 
 could be secured. The enterprise of General Agnus received 
 warm tributes from all parts of the world. In 1908 General 
 Agnus started the publication of the Baltimore Star, duplicat- 
 ing in the evening field the success of the American in the morn- 
 ing field. For years the plant on this property lias been turn- 
 ing out daily from six to twelve editions of complete papers, 
 and more copies are printed every twenty-four liours than were 
 printed in a week when General Agnus begun to manage the 
 property. Many of the employees of the American and the 
 Star have been with General Agnus from 20 to 50 years. His 
 staff are remarkable in their long service and fine loyalty. 
 
 General Agnus declined many offers of ofiftce. When the 
 Repul>lii"ins cif Maryland were in position to elect him United 
 States Senator he declined the use of his name. He also 
 declined important foreign appointments. He confined his 
 public work to those things for which he had special liking, 
 such as serving as a member of the board of visitors to the 
 Military Academy at West Point. He found great satisfaction 
 in his work as chairman of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal 
 Commission appointed by President Roosevelt. His report on 
 this canal, called "tlie Agnus report." is universally praised, 
 and on its findings the Government purchased the canal at 
 practically the figure fixed by tlir A;;nns commission. The 
 Atlantic beeper Waterways Asso. i:i lion in ii.nvention at Atlan- 
 tic City October oth to .Sth., l!iJii. a(l.i|il<'d resolutions calling 
 for the sea level ship canal recommended by the Agnus Com- 
 mission and sent to General Agnus a message of congratula- 
 tion and felicitatiou. General Agnus served as a member of 
 the Municipal Court House Commission, a member of the Park 
 Board and other city and State bodies. As foreman of the 
 grand jury he brought important reforms in reformatories. 
 He has been upon scores of local committees and commis- 
 sions and he is a member of many local clubs and business 
 and social organizations. He has been president of the French 
 Society, and a Grand Army Post of the city is named after him. 
 He is' a Knight Commander of tli.. Fr.'urh Colonial Order of 
 Niehan-el-Annnar, one of llie divisions i.t lie- I.eaion of Honor. 
 He has wrillcn niiniernas war slcnirs ami a diania, "A Woman 
 of War," in collaboration with MLss Louise Malloy, was pro- 
 duced with success. 
 
 In national politics General Agnus has taken a prominent 
 part. He was on intimate terms with many presidents, and 
 several of them have visited his home. He has been a delegate 
 to [)residential conventions for a score of years. In October, 
 i !t2tt, when the largest Republican meeting ever held in the 
 South greeted Senator Harding at the Fifth Regiment Armory, 
 General Agnus was the chairman, and Senator Harding paid 
 him a notable tribute in his speech. 
 
 After all, farming is what most delights General Agnus. His 
 country place, Nacirema. in file lovely Green Spring Valley, is 
 one of the most beautiful estates in Maryland. Especially mem- 
 orable in its records of hospitality is th(! dinner given to Presi- 
 dent Frank Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which was 
 attended by members of tlie cabinet, the <;ri(tiron CInh, the

 RICHARD B. DARNALL^Continued from page 66. 
 
 An earlier kinsman had married Elizabeth Lowe, descendant 
 of the Lowes of Denby, while the repeated intermarriages of 
 the Darnalls and Digges brouglit another notable strain of 
 blood into the lineage of the Maryland descendants. 
 
 Major Nicholas Sewell, of Mattapony, married Miss Darnall, 
 of Poplar Hill, their son, Robert Darnall Sewell, inheriting this 
 beautiful estate from his uncle, for whom he was named. De- 
 scendants of the Roziers, of Notley Hall, are also of the Dar- 
 nall lineage. 
 
 Archbishop .Tolin Carroll's mother was Eleanor Darnall. The 
 first Charles Carroll,, of Doughoregan Manor, married Mary 
 Darnall when she was fifteen years of age. Charles Carroli. 
 most noted signer of the Declaration of Independence and 
 grandson of the first settler, married Miss Darnall, daughter 
 of Henry Darnall, of Prince George's County and Rachel Brooke. 
 
 The branch of the Carroll family of which Mr. Darnall's 
 mother is descended was early seated in St, Mary's County, 
 their old homestead at "Susquehanna Point," a most beautiful 
 and notable estate in southern Maryland. This adjoined Mat- 
 tapony. home of Gov. Charles Calvert. Third Lord Baltimore, 
 after his marriage to the widuw nf his Provincial Secretary. 
 Col. Henry Sewell. "Susquehanna Point," beautifully situated 
 at the mouth of the I'atuxeut. was the home of the King's 
 Collector, General Christopher Rousby, He was the brother 
 of John Rousby, both of their tombs being still preserved there. 
 Capt. Henry Carroll, first of this name to own "Susquehanna 
 Point." acquired It through marriage with the neice of Col. 
 John Rousby, sister and heiress of an officer in the British 
 Navy. At the time of the marriage it is recorded that Captain 
 Carroll's bride brought him a fortune of 3,000 pounds. There 
 are many traditions in the Carroll family about this bride of 
 Captain Henry Carroll, young Araminta Thompson, who was 
 so youthful at the time of the courtship that the gallant Captain 
 bestowed on her imported toys for her amusement rather than 
 the usual gifts of hooks and fiowers. From this marriage 
 descended Gov. Thomas King Carroll, of Kingston Hall, Somer- 
 set County, and Captain Michael Brown Carroll, of the United 
 States Navy, who distinguished himself under Decatur at 
 Tripoli. .Mr. Itichaid I'.ennrtt Darnall has in his possession the 
 s\v<>rd piTsenti'<l Capiain Michael lirown Carroll, his great 
 grandfather, for gallantry in the Tilpolitan War,

 COL. JOHN KEATING — Continued from page 141. 
 
 With all these varied and important interests, one might 
 think Col. Keating would have no further time for other mat- 
 ters : but not so. He takes vivid interest in home-town affairs 
 and lends a hand in development of same wherever and when- 
 ever necessary. And it may be said that his advice and support 
 is often asked and as often cheerfully rendered. 
 
 When Cumberland needed a hotel. Col. John Keating was 
 one of the hardest workers in organizing a company which. In 
 11117. erected the Fiu't Cumberland Hotel. He was a leader in 
 advamiim ili,' proiiTt that eventually landed thi' Kellv-Spring- 
 fi,.|(l Cniiiiiaii^ plant in Cumberland, a $10,0i)(i,(i(Hi culi-rprise, 
 now iiiiiiir ronsti notion, and was a large contrilnit(u- to the 
 uudciiakini;. I'ol. Keating is vice-president of the Cumberland 
 nevelopnieiii r,Mn|jaiiy, organized in 1917 to carry through the 
 plan for localiiiL; ilie plant in Cumberland. 
 
 .Since l'.»Il. i>y apiiointment of the Governor of Maryland, he 
 has been a dire, lor oi the Western Maryland Hospital at Cum- 
 berland, today. iliicHi^li his earnest efforts and those of his 
 
 fellow-direeiois. oi' the most up-to-date institutions of its 
 
 character in Wesieni Maryland. 
 
 A many-sided man of powerful convictions is Col. .John Keat- 
 ing, as is noted herein. lie is recognized as the leader in Dem- 
 ocratic circles in this section of Maryland and is. and has been 
 for years, an important factcu' in the fortunes of the Democratic 
 party in lliis >;t iie. Ills advice Is often sought by Democratic 
 leaders at I'.a It iinoi ■■ and he has represented his party on 
 important oec iisi(.iis many times. In addition to having been 
 a delegate ii-oni Maryland which nominated Gov. Cox for the 
 Presidency. CoL Keating in 1900 was a delegate from this State 
 to the N.'itional 1 leTuocratic Convention at Kansas City which 
 nominated I'.ryan. lie w.as also an alternate delegate-at-large 
 to the convention which nominated Judge Alton B. Parker. 
 
 In 1911 Col. Keating was tendered the nomination for 
 Comptroller on the ticket with Austin L. Crothers, but declined 
 it. Governor Crothers later appointed Mr. Keating ranking 
 Colonel on his staff. 
 
 Col. and Mrs. Keating reside in their pretentious home on 
 Washington street, Cumberland, and 'tis here that the Colonel 
 and his hospitable wife entertain and receive their scores of 
 friends from time to time. They live a quiet, American family 
 lifi' witli their ehildreii, for despite Col. Keating's activities and 
 widi' yeiieial a.ipiaintiince, he loves his home. He is a member 
 of the .Maivlanil Clnli of Baltimore, also of the Cumberland 
 Country Club: is altiliated with Cumberland Lodge No. 63, 
 Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. A staunch Catholic, 
 Col. Keating, as are tlie members of his family, belong to St. 
 Patrick's Church, Cuiuherland. As a strong supporter of the 
 Catholic Chiircli, Col. Keating is known to foster its advance- 
 ment tinaneially in every \\:iy. meeting every demand, yet he is 
 not hidelMinnd. lor. as is well known in Cumberland, the Keating 
 contiilmtiiui to oneli and every public or charitable request, is 
 regular and consistent with the merit of the demand. 
 
 On September 23. 1890. Col. Keating married Miss D. G. 
 O'Reilly, of Worcester. Massachusetts, by which marriage there 
 are two children, Katharine D. Keating, and John Keating. Jr. 
 Col. Keating's first wife. Miss Sarah Hughes, of Baltimore,

JOHN DUNN. 
 
 To his keen judgment of men. and his ability to accompli.sh 
 taslis which require both bodily and mental effloiency, John, 
 (or as he is linown to thousands of fans throughout the coun- 
 try), "Jack" Dunn, owes his rise from the ranks of the amateur 
 baseball clubs to the post of manager of the great Baltimore 
 club, the Orioles. 
 
 To (pintr bi<i own words. Jack Dunn "was born in Pennsyl- 
 vania .111(1 r;iispd everywhere." His parents were John and 
 Marie i .\i ml loni; i Dunn. Jack Dunn acquired his education in 
 the imlili.' s(li.M>is. and he immediately began his career in the 
 world ul baseball, in 1895 becoming a semi-professional player 
 and pitcher. His first professional engagement was as a member 
 of the Brookl.vn National League team, for which he participated 
 in 34 championship games during 1896. and in 1897 he pitched 
 27 out of the total of 45 games of the season. He continued 
 with the Brooklyn team during the season of 1898, and after 
 playing with the New York Giants, the Boston and Syracuse 
 teams, and winning the pennant for the Providence team he 
 came to Baltimore in 1901, playing third base for the Orioles 
 and later becomiug a pitcher. His (leveloi)nient from player to 
 manager and finally to owner of the Ballimore Orioles was not 
 a matter of a few months, nor even of a tew years, as Mr. Dunn 
 is the type of man who accomplishes his aims in a methodical 
 manner which forbids his acting until fully convinced that his 
 course will prove an advantageous one. His purchase of the 
 Orioles from "Ned" Hanlon in 1909 was hailed with joy by all 
 that knew him as one of the most able executives in the game 
 
 Mr. Dunn is also known as a racing and golf enthusiast, and 
 he is interested in all out-of-door sports. 
 
 Mr. Dunn married in 189.S Miss Mary Kane. They have one 
 son. John. Junior, aged 25. who is associated with Mr. Dunn in 
 the management of the team.

DE. HARRY KEPLER GORSUCH. 
 
 Dr. Harry Kepler Gorsiich, of the eleventh generation of the 
 Gorsueh family, was bom in Baltimore June 7, 1869. He was 
 graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Balti- 
 more, on March 9, 1889, and began the practiie of medicine in 
 that city. He married, October 20, I'.iOi;. Li>ttie .Xleiiii' :mos1iv 
 (nee Pritchard). Their son, Harry K.-plei' Gorsucli, .Ir., horn 
 .July 14, 1912, died suddenly, by drowning, on .July 13. 1920; his 
 death having occurred in the stream which separates the old 
 from the new city of Baltimore. The lands through which this 
 stream flows, which comprises practically the entire city of 
 Baltimore, were at one time the property of the forbears of 
 Dr. Gorsueh. 
 
 Historical records attest the Gorsueh family of Maryland and 
 other states to be descended from men of early note in the af- 
 fairs of France. Enulnnd and iiussia ; being traced in direct line 
 (through the l..]\ r An. Int branch) from Alfred the Great, King 
 of Prance (lo;;i i, w im in (urn was descended from Charlemagne, 
 and from Hui:li t mimi, whose third wife, Anne, was a daughter 
 of Czar Yareslaa the Halt, Grand Duke of Russia In 1015-1054. 
 The English branch dates back to John Lovelace, who lived in 
 England about 1367 to 1417. Also many titled men of that 
 period have been traced ; notably, Sir John Browne of Works, 
 Lord Mayor of London in 1480 ; Sir William Browne, Lord Mayor 
 in 1507 ; Sir Henry Keble, Lord Mayor in 1510, and also the 
 many distinguished members of the Lovelace and allied fam- 
 ilies. 
 
 The first of the Gorsueh family (n seltir in America was 
 Charles, latterly of Tall...! ami r.nltiiiiin e < ounties, Maryland. 
 He was baptized at Walkeiii. Ihil Imdsliirr c.iuntv, England, on 
 August 25, 1642, was i ranspfirtrd to \ir-iiiia in '1652 and set- 
 tled in Maryland about Itjiil. 
 
 As was true of the family in England, the Gorsueh fam- 
 ily since its inception in this country, has taken a leading part 
 in the affairs of American histor.v, both prior to and since the 
 Revolution, 'riiciiiyii icrlain branches of the family were (Juak- 
 
 er.s, tliriv iv no niriic I c glorified than that of Gorsueh when 
 
 the bisicni in ilir War of 1812 is perused. The British troops, 
 in a la I til- ii:iiilr of tills war, met with decisive defeat at 
 the hands of the American soldiers directly through the laxness 
 of the British general, who permitted him.s'elf and staff to be de- 
 tained and dined at the farm of one of the Gorsueh family at a 
 most critical period of the campaign. The hitherto routed 
 Americans were thus enabled to reorganize and give victorious 
 battle to their adversaries in what resulted in the deciding 
 battle of the war.

PAUL JEROME PRODOEHL. 
 
 Paul Jerome Prodoehl lias won a place of distinction among 
 the men of achievement in the city. He has stepped right 
 ahead from one successful endeavor to another. His biggest 
 asset is a cheerful disposition and the ability to make friends 
 wherever he goes. As his personal popularity has grown steadily 
 some of his friends have suggested him for political positions, 
 hut he has steadily avoided honors of the kind, preferring to 
 help in many ways those of his friends who are in politics. 
 
 Mr. Prodoehl has won his position in the business world by 
 bard \v"ik. Ue was born in Alsace-Lorraine and came to this 
 (■oniiir\ wiih a determination to make his own way. It was not

 \v;is a l.ciss (it a gang for a while and then ventured into the 
 paving business on his own account. He has helped to put 
 Baltimore on a firm foundation, for the concrete pavements and 
 other work he did years ago stands to-day without a flaw. His 
 name is cut into the stone where all who pass can read it. 
 
 From paving Mr. Prodoehl branched out into other lines of 
 contract work and erected a number of buildings. With a group 
 of associates he holds leases to important oil fields and is 
 president of the Baltimore Petrol Gas Company. He is secretary 
 and treasurer of the Lord Calvert Theatre Company which 
 operates theatres in Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York. 
 The Commercial Exchange, a Baltimore mercantile agency, was 
 organized by Mr. Prodoehl and he is now its president. 
 
 One of Mr. Prodoehl's largest ventures is the Maryland Motors 
 Corporation, of which he is president. This firm which started 
 in business here now has a large plant at Laurel, Md., and is 
 making rapid strides. 
 
 Mr. I'iniiocbl is a member of the Press Club, the Knights of 
 ('(ilniiihiis, Citholie Mutual Benefit Legion and other organiza- 
 (iciDs llr is president of the Catliolic Union, which he organ- 
 ized.

 ROBERT SEFF. 
 
 In no country of the civilized world are the opportunities for 
 success more abundant than in the United States, any man with 
 the ability to surmount obstacles in the path of achievement 
 being able to gain a commanding- position in the world of 
 business. 
 
 In Robert Sell, Baltimore real estate operator, we are afforded 
 a striking example of man's mastery over circumstances. Born 
 in a province of Russia, he came to America when but a child. 
 He attended the public schools until the sixth grade, and at the 
 age of thirteen he went to work, engaging in odd .jobs, and 
 devoting his spare time in the evenings to study which he had 
 been obliged to forfeit in the schools. 
 
 At the age of twrnty-onc Mr. Seff entered the real estate 
 business in Baltimore. By judicious investment of the small 
 sum of money at his command he was enabled to secure a foot- 
 hold in the business, and incessantly laboring by day and night 
 he gradually added to his properties. Now, at the age of thirty- 
 six is credited with being the largest individual property owner 
 in the city, he possessing- about four hundred and fifty leasehold 
 and fee-simple property in the city of Baltimore and the sur- 
 rounding county. He is also known as the vice-president of 
 various prosperous building and loan associations of Baltimore 
 and vicinity. 
 
 Mr. Seff is a member of the Baltimore Press Club, City Club 
 and Chess Club, 
 
 He married on March 25, 1917, Miss Frida A. Silberman, 
 daughter of T. Silberman, of Baltimore. His residence is at 
 the Rivierra Apartments, and iMr. Seff maintains a suite of 
 offices at 231 Courtland Street, Baltimore.

 ject to the commands of his superiors. Colonel Sweezey was 
 later transferred to other duty, and still later to the post at 
 Monterey, California, where he commanded the 11th cavalry to 
 date of retirement. 
 
 The people of Maryland and Baltimore in particular had not 
 forgotten the debt which they considered was their obligation 
 to Colonel Sweezey. The officials of the State were tireless in 
 their efforts to once more reclaim him as a citizen of Mary- 
 land, and circumstances having arisen which required the fill- 
 ing of a very responsible vacancy within a State department, 
 Colonel Sweezey was requested to accept that post — Warden 
 of the State Penitentiary. He considered the proffer, and even- 
 tually accepted, after having secured his release from the ser- 
 vice in which he had taken an active part for nearly two de- 
 cades. 
 
 On October 24, 1920, Colonel Sweezey left California on his 
 way to Baltimore to fulfill his newly acquired trust. Within 
 a few days after arrival he had taken over his new respon- 
 sibility and had begun the task of adjusting his affairs of the 
 great penal institution. He has made many improvements in 
 the system of the prison, which have met with the utmost 
 approval of both the inmates of the penitentiary and of the 
 officials and citizens of the State. 
 
 Colonel Sweezey and his family reside at the residence ad- 
 Joining the penitentiary. His family comprises his wife, who 
 was Miss Frances Comba (whom he married November 7, 1894), 
 and two children, Frances C. and Claude B., Jr.

THE REPUBLIC OF CUBA; HER TRADE RELATIONS WITH THE PORT OF BALTIMORE 
 
 The port of Baltimore has for a number of years 
 enjoyed a great volume of trade relations with the 
 ports of the Republic of Cuba, but within the past 
 few years the extent of both this import and export 
 business has increased to a degree which bids fair to 
 out-strip that of many other Eastern port-cities of tlie 
 United States. This increase is explained by the 
 strategic position of Baltimore as regards the re- 
 quirements of inland cities seeking an advantageous 
 port outlet for their Cuban export goods, and by the 
 personal trading standards maintained by the manu- 
 facturers, shippers and buyers of Baltimore, which 
 has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Cuban 
 business interests that a fair and equitable policy of 
 reciprocation is at all times sustained, admitting of 
 the most cordial business relations between the ports 
 of Baltimore, and our country at large, with the Cu- 
 ban ports. 
 
 These commendable relations between the Repub- 
 lic of Cuba and the United States are to a great ex- 
 tent due to the progressive policies maintained by 
 His Excellency, Major General Mario G. Menocal, 
 President of Cuba, President Menocal is a native of 
 the city of Jaguey Grande, Province of Matanzas, 
 Cuba, and was born on December Y, 1866. He comes 
 from one of the most noted families in all Cuba, and 
 America as well, a family which has given to the 
 world men of exceptional talents in all lines of en- 
 deavor. His father, George 
 Menocal, an expert in the 
 manufacture of sugar, migra- 
 ted to the United States and 
 Mexico owing to a revolution- 
 ary attempt known in history 
 as the "Menocal uprising in 
 Jaguey." 
 
 Young Menocal completed 
 his education at the Chautau- 
 qua Institute, New York, Mary- 
 land Agricultural College, 
 and lastly, Cornell University, 
 wliere he was graduated in 
 the civil engineering class of 
 '88, with highest honors. 
 
 Tteturning to Cuba, he en- 
 gaged in agricultural and en- 
 gineering activities, but on 
 .Tune 5. 1895, he joined the mil- 
 itary forces of Commander-in- 
 Chief Maximo Gomez. He 
 was soon promoted to cap- 
 tain, and later became Lieu- 
 tenant Colonel, with the title 
 of Provisional Under-Secre- 
 tary of War. His successful 
 participation in numerous 
 bloody battles resulted in fur- 
 ther promotion, and he eventually attained the rank 
 of Major General. His part in the defeat of the Span- 
 ish armies, which for centuries had ruled Cuba with a 
 hand of iron, is too widely known to require further 
 relating. Following the war, he served in various re- 
 sponsible public capacities under the American ad- 
 ministration which guided the fortunes of the island 
 prior to its independence. When the new republic was 
 formed it was but natural that the Conservative party 
 should nominate, in 190S, General Menocal to serve as 
 the first president of the island democracy, but the 
 standards of his party suffered defeat in this election, 
 and General Menocal returned to his interrupted work 
 as an official of the Cuban-American Sugar Company. 
 
 In 1912, General Menocal was again chosen as the 
 Conservative presidential candidate. He was then 
 elected, and Cuba, under his efficient administration, 
 ijenefited by an era of prosperity such as had ever been 
 the desire of her citizens. The full appreciation of the 
 public was demonstrated in the fall of 1916, when His 
 Excellency was re-elected to the presidency, he tlius 
 being afforded a further opportunity to bring to the 
 highest state of perfection his plans for a republic 
 which should rank among the foremost of the nations 
 of the globe. 
 
 With the expiration of his present term in office. 
 
 DR. PABLO DESVERNINE Y GALDOS, 
 Secretary of State. 
 
 President Menocal expects to return to private life 
 and direct the affairs of his large business interests. 
 Kno'wing that his beloved country is now firmly es- 
 tablished among her sister nations, by whom, owing 
 to his tireless efforts, she is universally respected and 
 admired, he feels confident that Cuba's future is as- 
 sured, and only by performing his duties as a private 
 citizen does he expect to share in the affairs of his 
 country, unless called upon by circumstance to re- 
 enter political life. His Excellency is surrounded by 
 a loving family who will welcome his return to civil 
 life. His \vife, whom he married in 1S99, was Miss 
 Mariana Seva, a young woman of noted beauty, lova- 
 ble character, and distinct refinement. Their children 
 are Mario, Raul, and Georgina. 
 
 Assisting President Menocal in the direction of 
 Cuba's affairs are the most noted and brilliant men 
 of the Island Republic. In view of his intimate as- 
 sociation with His Excellency, it is desirable that 
 mention be made of the Honorable Rafael Montoro, 
 Secretary of the Executive Department, which is in 
 reality Secretary to the President, and also of Dr. 
 Pablo Desvernine y Galdos, Secretary of State. 
 
 Dr. Montoro is a noted student of political science 
 and is called an encyclopedia of the Cuban people, 
 and whose personal achievements are contemporane- 
 ous with the history of his country. He is a publicist 
 of high repute and an ideal citizen and friend. He is 
 a man of charming person- 
 ality and of fine intellectual 
 attainments; in short, he is 
 one of the most distinguished 
 men of Cuba, and is respon- 
 sible to a degree for the de- 
 velopment of Cuban educa- 
 tion and the higher culture. 
 Dr. Montoro's relations to 
 President Menocal are of the 
 closest character, not only in 
 a friendly sense, but in his 
 capacity of Secretary of the 
 Executive Department. He 
 
 has important functions to 
 perform and is not infre- 
 quently called upon to act as 
 the personal representative of 
 the President. 
 
 Doctor Pablo Desvernine y 
 Galdos, Secretary of State, is 
 known to Americans as hav- 
 ing for a consideral^le time 
 been Envoy E.xtraordinary 
 and Minister Plenipotentiary 
 to the United States. He is a 
 brother - in - law to Senor 
 Eduardo Luis Desvernine, Cu- 
 ban Consul to the City of Bal- 
 timore, a sketch of whom appears later in this arti- 
 cle. 
 
 Dr. Pablo Desvernine is a graduate of Columbia 
 University, New York, and of the University of Ha- 
 vana. He is a leading and active member of the 
 Conservative party, and has been prominent in Cu- 
 ban affairs for a number of years, part of the time 
 having been engaged in business in Havana as a 
 publisher. He has served as a professor of Law in 
 the National University of Cuba, is now professor of 
 International Law in the University of Havana; was 
 secretary of finance under Governor John R. Brook, 
 during part of the American occupation; commis- 
 sioner of finance under General Wood, and in 1912, 
 was president of the Cuban Exposition. He also 
 served as special envoy to represent Cuba at the in- 
 auguration of President Woodrow Wilson. Dr. Des- 
 vernine is internationally known as a practicing law- 
 yer in iDoth the courts of Cuba and of the United 
 States. 
 
 The Republic of Cuba is diplomatically represent- 
 ed in the United States by Dr. Carlos Cespedes, Cu- 
 ban Minister at the Legation at Washington, and 
 in the cities throughout the country by the most 
 noted members of Cuba's Consular corps. The peo- 
 ple of Maryland, and of Baltimore in particular, are 
 
 rage Two Hundred Thirty 
 
interested in the consul of tliat city — Senor Eduardo 
 Luis Desvernine. Senor Desvernine was born in Ha- 
 vana. Cuba, on OctolDer 21st. 1S63. tiie son of Pedro E. 
 and Elena (Zequeira) Desvernine. He attended the 
 public schools and was graduated from the College 
 of the City of New York (now tlie University of tlie 
 City of New Yorlc). 
 
 He entered, in 1.S84. tlie export commission busi- 
 ness; was for several years assistant manag^er of th-e 
 New Yorli agency of the Compania Translantica (Roy- 
 al Mail Spanish Line), and later was in the steamship 
 business and exporting- of coal to Cuba, Mexico, South 
 and Central America. Senor Desvernine has been Cu- 
 ban Consul to Baltimore since July 1, 1914. He mar- 
 ried on October 16, 1889, Matilde Hernandez, of New 
 York City. 
 
 Having- described at lengtli several of the leading 
 men of the Cuban Republic, and tlie part they have 
 taken in the development of the country which is 
 described as the "Pearl of the West Indies." we will 
 now number ourselves among the thousands of 
 American citizens who yearly 
 visit our island neighbor: 
 choosing, as the first logical 
 point of interest, the city of 
 Havana, wliich is both the 
 capital and principal city of 
 Cuba. 
 
 All Americans who liave 
 ever enjoyed tlie pleasure of 
 Havana's hospitality are un- 
 stinted in their praise of this 
 citj^ which is universally con- 
 ceded to be one of the most 
 beautiful of the world's me- 
 tropolises, and all are agreed 
 that arcliitectural and natural 
 beauty of scene, cordial re- 
 ception afforded by its fine 
 hostelries, and opportunity to 
 enjoy the many pleasures af- 
 forded, form but a part of tlie 
 pleasure to be derived from a 
 stay in Havana. 
 
 Aside from being a mecca 
 for tourists, one finds Havana 
 otlierwise, if possible, even 
 more of interest. Finan- 
 cially, the city is the 
 stronghold of Cuba, and 
 possesses banking facilities equal to tliose of any 
 American or European cities. Apart from the ordi- 
 nary banks which have been particularly prosperous, 
 other financial institutions exist, equipped and em- 
 powered to effectively use their own and trust funds 
 in asricultural, industrial and realty development, 
 and the conserving and promoting a wide range of in- 
 dividual and corporate business interests seeking in- 
 vestments. This fortunate financial condition is also 
 true of the other large cities of the island. 
 
 In keeping with her position as the main export and 
 import city of Cuba, Havana is provided with a won- 
 derful system of piers, docks and warehouses vyliicli 
 handle expeditiously the great volume of ordinary 
 shipping to and from practically every country in tlie 
 world. These piers, which were built and are main- 
 tained by the most famed engineers of their profes- 
 sion, are used by all ships of the Munson Line, the 
 United Fruit Company, the Ward Line, the Southern 
 Pacific, tile Compania Translantica Espanola, the Hol- 
 land-American Line, and other great steamship lines. 
 Prior to the World War. the piers were also used by 
 tlie ships of tile North German Lloyd Line. Practical- 
 ly the entire commercial output of the different prov- 
 inces of the Republic of Cuba passes through the me- 
 dium of these great sliipping interests in the city of 
 Havana. The great growth of commerce of Cuba pro- 
 
 liR. 
 
 duced very severe congestion in the Port of Habana. 
 but measures have been taken by the authorities to 
 provide new facilities to meet the requirements of 
 this growing trade. 
 
 The six provinces of Cuba are Oriente. Santa Clara, 
 Camaguay. Matanzas, Habana and Pinar del Rio, prac- 
 tically all of which produce sugar. In 1919 the sugar 
 crop was 4,009,757 tons, export, and 74.000 tons were 
 consumed locally. 
 
 Havana Province, in which the city of Havana is lo- 
 cated, is also noted as leading in the production of 
 sugar cane, tobacco, citrus, fruits, pineapples and win- 
 ter vegetables, most of these yields being exported to 
 the United States. 
 
 The province of Oriente, formerly known as San- 
 tiago de Cuba, is furthermore noted for its magnifi- 
 cent hardwood timber lands, much of which has not 
 as yet been exploited. It is also famed for its high- 
 grade tobacco, cocoanut and banana crops, and for its 
 vast mineral wealth, which includes a grade of iron 
 regarded as equal to the best mined in the world. It 
 ■is also the second sugar pro- 
 ducing province. 
 
 Camaguay Province's prod- 
 ucts are about the same as 
 those of Oriente, but its un- 
 limited mineral wealth of iron, 
 copper, manganese and oth- 
 er minerals is undeveloped 
 on account of being at pres- 
 ent inaccessible. The first 
 American colony to settle 
 in Cuba was established 
 in a section of Camaguey 
 Province. 
 
 Tobacco is tlie most im- 
 portant product of the Prov- 
 ince of Pinar del Rio, 
 but it also produces an 
 abundance of fruits and 
 crops raised in tlie other be- 
 fore mentioned provinces. Pi- 
 nar del Rio is also noted for 
 the breeding of horses, mules, 
 milch cows, swine, poul- 
 try and sheep. 
 
 The province of Santa Clara 
 is noted the world over 
 for its great sugar es- 
 tates. 
 
 s especially adapted to the 
 nd few other crops are raised. 
 The province lands are to a great extent devoted to 
 the grazing of cattle. Some petroleum has been found 
 in the region of the city of Cardenas, in this prov- 
 ince. In the city of Matanzas, many factories are op- 
 erated, which turn out considerable quantities of cord- 
 age and heavy cable, manufactured from a native tex- 
 tile plant found in the mountain regions. 
 
 The Republic of Cuba has achieved marvelous strides 
 since her deliverance from the Spanish yoke "which for 
 centuries held her naturally progressive people in 
 bondage, and the future years will witness even more 
 marked achievement in her business and commercial 
 relations with other countries of the world. More- 
 over, the island presents to American and other in- 
 vestors, opportunities without limit for the establish- 
 ment of great outside industries, public utilities, min- 
 ing interests and agricultural activities. 
 
 Cuba abounds in woods, fibers, metals, fruits and 
 many other commodities which but await the pleasure 
 of capable business executives and capitalists for 
 their development; able men are assured large returns 
 upon their investments; the officials of the Cuban Gov- 
 ernment having always maintained a policy of hearty 
 co-operation with all in-coming business and indus- 
 trial interests.

CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND 
 
 UMBERLAND, "The Queen City of the Alleghenies," second city of Maryland, and the 
 leading manufacturing city of the State, with the exception of Baltimore, is the county 
 seat of Allegany County and was founded in 1781. 
 
 Cumberland is the site of old Fort Cumberland, from which mountain stronghold. 
 
 Colonel George Washington directed many of his campaigns against the Indians. It was 
 
 from this Fort that General Craddock set out upon his ill-fated campaign, which resulted in his 
 
 death, and his grave is located but a few feet from the highway, twelve miles west of Cumberland. 
 
 The site of the present city of Cumberland and the territory adjacent to it, were located in Wash- 
 ington County from 1776 until 1789, when the present county of Allegany was formed. Many advan- 
 tages of this region began to draw the attention of settlers in 1781, the last year of the Revolutionary 
 War, and so rapidly did the town grow, that at the end of four years, a permanent village had been 
 established and a number of substantial residences and business buildings had been erected near the 
 old Fort. 
 
 The community was known as Washington Town from the time that Thomas Beall of Samuel, 
 who owned the land, had it laid out in town lots in 1785, until the residents of Washington Town, 
 petitioned the Maryland Legislature, two years later to change the name to Cumberland. 
 
 The village was incorporated in 1816. 
 
 Cumberland is widely known throughout the United States for its advantages as a manufacturing 
 city, coal being found in enormous quantities at its very doors; limestone necessary in steel manu- 
 facture being found in inexhaustible supplies in quarries in the city's hills, and water, which has been 
 pronounced perfect for boiler use, reaching the city from mountain sources. 
 
 The coal supply mentioned is the famous Cumberland George's Creek Coal Region, one of the 
 most valuable sources of coal supply in the Eastern States. Cumberland is in the heart of this district, 
 approaching the Northwest corner of the State on the north bank of the Potomac River and about 
 four miles South of the Mason and Dixon Line. 
 
 The city is on the main lines of both the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland Railroads, 
 these roads leaving Cumberland on the West through the Narrows, the natural gateway through the 
 Alleghenies. 
 
 The growth of Cumberland has been a substantial one from its settlement. Nothing of a tem- 
 porary character has bloomed in the city to die over night and with its death work serious damage 
 towards the community. White glass sand necessary to the manufacture of glass, is found near the 
 city and several plants established there in this manufacturing industry, have enjoyed a steady, sub- 
 stantial growth. Steel also is manufactured in large quantities, among the concerns being engaged 
 in this industry, being the N. and G. Taylor Company, the Cumberland Steel Company, manufacturers 
 of ground steel shafting, the only industry of this kind in the world, and the Linited States Rail Com- 
 pany, manufacturers of steel rails. 
 
 Indicative of the wonderful advantages of Cumberland as a manufacturing center, the Kelly 
 Springfield Company now has, in the course of construction, a plant which probably will be the 
 largest tire manufacturing plant in the United States. This plant was established in Cumberland, 
 after experts of the company had made a careful survey of the entire country, with the idea of locating 
 the great industry at the place where it would be offered the greatest number of natural advantages. 
 Already the company has spent in excess of $6,000,000 in Cumberland and the work is going forward 
 on a scale which will call for the further expenditure of $30,000,000 within the next ten year period. 
 
 Cumberland to-day enjoys a water supply which experts have called second to none in the United 
 States and which has its source in the nearby Allegheny Mountains; many miles of excellent and well 
 lighted streets; and excellent street car and interurban service; substantial business houses and 
 manufacturing plants; beautifully built churches, thirty-five in number, schools and public buildings; 
 hotels unequalled outside of Baltimore; great hospital institutions and several beautiful parks. 
 
 The commission form of government was adopted by the city some years ago and five commis- 
 sioners, each having control of the various departments of the city government, one of whom serves 
 as Mayor, constitute the civic body. 
 
 Light and power for the city are furnished by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, the 
 plant having a capacity of 10,000 kilowatts. 
 
 Within the last year the men of Cumberland who have taken the leading part in providing for the 
 financial growth of the city, have brought about a merger of several of the city's banks, that will 
 
 Page Tipo Ilunilred Tlilrl ii-Three 
 
care for the enormously increased calls for larger financial deals. The financial history of Cumber- 
 land is one of unbroken stability on the part of the banks and unbroken confidence on the part of the 
 citizens of the city. Deposits in Cumberland are in excess of $15,000,000 or around $45 per capita. 
 
 The availability of skilled and unskilled labor has been a great influence in the development of 
 Cumberland, and a recent survey showed that more than 90 per cent of this labor was American born 
 and that more than 50 per cent, of the working people own their own homes. 
 
 Another industry for which Cumberland is advantageously located is that of furniture manu- 
 facture, the hardwoods of Western Virginia being easily accessible. 
 
 The elevation of the city in the business section is 700 feet, and located as it is in the mountain 
 range, Cumberland enjoys a delightful climate. Typhoid fever and malaria are practically unknown. 
 
 The annual average precipitation is about 45 inches and the annual snow fall is about 33 inches. 
 Destructive storms are rare, and long and severe droughts are the exception. 
 
 Allegany County Academy, located in Cumberland, is one of the oldest educational institutions 
 in the State, having been founded in 1798 and having an unbroken record of 119 years of college 
 preparatory work. Cumberland has 12 public schools, all modern in construction and equipment, 
 and four parochial schools, all of which include high school courses. 
 
 The city has two daily newspapers, one morning and one afternoon, with a total circulation of 
 more than 25,000. 
 
 The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, originating in Cumberland and taking its water from the 
 Potomac River, furnishes a tide water outlet to Washington for water transportation and many 
 thousand tons of coal are moved along this waterway annually. George Washington was responsible 
 for the original survey of this canal. Railroad lines entering Cumberland maintain 22 express pas- 
 senger trains daily and tap the great coal fields near by. Lower freight rates are enjoyed by the city 
 to the West, than Baltimore, New York or Philadelphia, this being a great advantage to the city, in the 
 development of its manufacturing industries. 
 
 Cumberland is located on the National Highway, one of the best interstate roads in America, 
 running from coast to coast, and also is located on the State road system, one highway of which taps 
 the Lincoln Highway. 
 
 The city owns its water supply, which is drawn from a gathering basin, 66 miles square in the 
 Allegheny Mountains. The water is caught by a dam, which forms Lake Gordon, with a capacity of 
 1,800,000,000 and is delivered by gravity to filtering plants, having a capacity of 12,000,000 gallons 
 daily. 
 
 Footer's Dye Works, the largest dye works in the United States, is located at Cumberland, as 
 are other industries, including lumber and planing mills, soap mills, brick and tile works, mattress 
 factories, foundries, cement works, woolen mills, glass factories, flour and feed mills and the large 
 railroad shops of Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland Railroads. 
 
 Cumberland also is an extensive jobbing point, being the distributing point for the peach and 
 apple industry of Western Maryland and adjoining States.

THOMAS W. KOON. 
 
 Cumberland calls Thomas W. Koon the best Mayor it has ever had. There Is no diversion of opinion and this 
 fact was strikingly evidenced in the most recent municipal elections, when Mayor Koon, after serving the city three 
 times as Mayor, went to the polls unopposed. 
 
 Slogans attach themselves to men in public life, and the slogan which every person in Cumberland applies to 
 Thomas W. Koon is "The Mayor Who Does Things." 
 
 Mayor Koon's public services in Cumberland extend over a long period of years, his Jour terms as Mayor being 
 antedated by three terms in the City Council. During each of these years. Mayor Koon has found many ways of 
 working benefits for Cumberland and as a result of these efforts, some of the great industries of Cumberland to-day have 
 come into being. 
 
 Dr. Koon was born in Newberry County. S, C. on November 12th, 1,S70. His parents were Walter F. and Laura 
 R. Koon. As a bov he attended the public schools of South Carolina and upon completion of this preparatory work, 
 matriculated in LeesviUe English and Classical Institute, Leesville, S. C. Deciding unon a medical education, he 
 entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimcre, and was graduated in 1S93. He took post graduate 
 work at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1900. 
 
 Dr. Konii lic'^iui the practice of medicine in 1893 in Newberry County, S. C. One year later he removed to Pres- 
 ton County, \V. \a.. irmaining there for seven years and finally coming to Cumberland in 1900. Dr. Koon's practice 
 was successful iium his coming to Cumberland' In 1008 he was asked by friends to contest for place in the City 
 Council. The rrsiilt of the election showed a gratifying ma.1ority. 
 
 He was re-elected at the two succeeding elections bv increased ma.iorities each time, and in 1914, when he sought 
 the Mayoralty, he again was successful. Since that time he has been elected for three two-year terms, in 1916 and 
 1918 and again in 1920, when he was unopposed. 
 
 As a meml)er of the Council, he was one of the leading exponents of the Evitts Creek water supply plan, which 
 provided I iiinliiMi:ind with mountain water by gravity system, the supply from mountain sources being the best in the 
 Inii.d .-^iiiirv. Ill addition to this Dr. Koon was res'ponsible, in very great part, for the Westside re-servoir, and other 
 inipi'..\. 111. Ills ill I his district costing about $300,000. 
 
 I'aviiig and extension of sewerage systems also has been another effort of Dr. Koon. and through bis efforts a bond 
 issue of $150,000 was provided as a revolving fund for paving purposes, which has made possible the paving of many 
 miles of city streets. 
 
 In addition to this bond issue. Dr. Koon has asked the people of Cumberland to support three other bond issues. 
 
 and each of them has carried at the polls by sate ma.1i

THE EASTERN SHORE 
 
 BY GENERAL FELIX AGNUS 
 
 N the first year of the Civil War, I camped with my regiment, the 165th, New York 
 Volunteers, Second Duryee Zouaves, on the north side of Hampton Roads, where the great 
 fight between the Monitor and Merrimac was to take place later. Our camp was in an 
 old corn field. There were probably a few houses in view but my recollection of the 
 country was that of desolation and lonesomeness. Not long ago, I visited the same place. 
 Where we camped is now covered by a wonderful industrial city, Newport News, growing by leaps 
 and bounds and launching every year some of the finest ships that float. All around Hampton 
 Roads and along the James and Elizabeth rivers has come a great settlement of industry, shipping 
 and trade. The population has grown to hundreds of thousands and what has been done is only an 
 earnest of what is to be. 
 
 That is the live story at the other end of the Chesapeake Bay. 
 
 A number of years ago when General Joseph B. Seth was commander of the State Fishery 
 Force of Maryland, I was his guest for almost a week on his flagship, a comfortable little steamer 
 which could poke its nose into the most charming of river nooks. We saw the great Chesapeake 
 Bay in its many moods and its amazing variety of interests. We enjoyed oysters fresh from their 
 beds, fish right out of the water and saw sunrises and sunsets that were as fine as any Naples has 
 to off^er. But the pleasantest memories are those of delightful river towns and people. General 
 Seth was an ideal host and so I met the people under the best conditions. Then I understood fully 
 why the Eastern Shore is a happy Eden and why Eastern Shore people have an attractiveness of 
 their own. 
 
 In 1906 as chairman of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Commission, I had the opportunity 
 to meet and know the people of the upper part of the Eastern Shore. The War Department pro- 
 vided us with a yacht and an automobile so that we could thoroughly examine the country covered 
 by the several routes under consideration. Thus it was that my colleagues and I had many felicitous 
 experiences and gained many friendships that linger to this day. 
 
 In other visits and in my life as a publisher I made every effort to know more about the 
 Eastern Shore and the Eastern Shore people and it has all been worth while. 
 
 We can not even talk about the Eastern Shore without appreciating the marvelous kindness of 
 nature when she gave the Chesapeake Bay and the fertile lands along its shores. Think for a moment 
 what this Bay means to us. Think of what has taken place in a lifetime in sight of the cornfield 
 where I camped, and think of the new growth that is to come to the upper part of the Eastern Shore 
 when we have a sea level ship canal connecting the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Great industries 
 will line the banks from one bay to the other, and this is only a small item in a list of many possi- 
 bilities. In other words, I see a future prosperity to the Eastern Shore far beyond anything any 
 part of it has known. Of course Newport News and its neighbors are neither Maryland nor Eastern 
 Shore towns, but I use them to press my point of predicting a development of extraordinary propor- 
 tions along the Chesapeake Bay. 
 
 I mentioned my experience on the canal commission in relation to the upper part of the Eastern 
 Shore. But there is more. Look at the new town at Perryville, with its fine hospital; look at the 
 new growth at Port Deposit with the splendid Tome Institute, and then, although it is not the Eastern 
 Shore, we may glance across the Susquehanna and realize the importance of the Government's im- 
 mense proving ground stretching across the western head of the Bay. And all in between the far 
 limits of this picture, from the mouth to the head of the Bay, are towns increasing in size, lands 
 increasing in value, new industries, more than ten thousand vessels of one kind or another and 
 goodness only knows how many automobiles. And in the picture we may place a score of steam- 
 driven boats crossing and recrossing the Bay and carrying thousands of passengers. 
 
 My friend Captain Wright calls the Chesapeake Bay the Mother of Waters yielding more for 
 the sustenance of the human race than any body of its size on the entire earth. No wonder Eastern 
 Shoremen live well and make us grateful for the fine things they send us in Baltimore. 
 
 It often seems a pity that the whole Maryland and Delaware and Virginia Peninsula does not 
 belong to Maryland. Of the three States Maryland has shown the most progress and has reached the 
 highest values. But, as it is, Maryland has about three-fifths of the Peninsula. There are nine 
 Maryland counties with an area of 3,519 square miles, a combined population of about 200,000 and 
 taxable wealth of upwards of $150,000,000. 
 
 Parje Two Hundred Forttj-Thrce 
 
The Eastern Shore glories in an exceptionally fine, healthy climate and proof of this is found 
 in the fact that many rich people are coming from the West and North to make their homes on the 
 Eastern Shore. According to observations made under the auspices of the Maryland Weather Service 
 during the past twenty years, the counties bordering upon the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean 
 may count upon a growing period of from 190 to 210 days. Several crops a year from the same 
 soil are frequently made. 
 
 Most of the Eastern Shore is less than 26 feet above water. Its alluvial soil will raise almost 
 everything from cereals to figs and pomegranates, including apples, peaches, pears, strawberries, 
 raspberries, potatoes, all kinds of truck, practically everything that the markets and the tables 
 demand, and there are easy transportation facilities and quick services to take all these products to 
 cities over night. Maryland leads in canning and the Eastern Shore has built up its prosperity on 
 the tin can which is known around the world. A large part of the tomatoes come from the Eastern 
 Shore, which also contains the greatest strawberry patches in America. The able and conservative 
 estimate of the Maryland Geological Survey says, "The Eastern Shore includes the counties that 
 lie on the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay. The extremes of climate are tempered by proximity 
 to the ocean and the bay, and lands have proved their special adaptability to early fruits and vege- 
 tables, in addition to the staple crops of wheat, corn, oats and hay. In the northern part of the 
 Eastern Shore are fine wheat and corn lands, the wheat lands being rich loams which overlie clay loam 
 subsoils. They are easy to cultivate and can be made exceedingly productive. In the lower counties 
 are large acreas of stiff, clayey soil. There are also large areas of rich, sandy loams that are suited 
 to growing vegetables and all kinds of small fruits, and especially in many sections the canning 
 industry has been enormously developed. The excellent transportation facilities allow all perishable 
 fruit to be shipped to all of the larger northern cities, where it finds a ready sale. In some sections 
 farming in recent years has undergone a complete revolution — the old staple crops have been given 
 up and the more lucrative truck and fruit crops introduced. There are large areas of tidal marsh 
 lands. Thousands of acres of fertile land could be reclaimed at comparatively little expense. Lands 
 that have been reclaimed are exceedingly fertile and will produce for an almost indefinite period." 
 Here it is seen that in reality the Eastern Shore has its greater fruitfulness in front of it. 
 
 Let me emphasize this point — that the Eastern Shore is coming into a far larger prosperity than 
 it has known. The population of Maryland is about 140 per square mile, but the population of the 
 Eastern Shore is less than 70 a square mile. This shows the opportunities in the Eastern Shore 
 counties for good men and women to live close to nature and obtain their sustenance and happi- 
 ness from the soil. 
 
 Every year the Eastern Shore produces from 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 bushels of corn, 3,000,000 
 to 4,000,000 bushels of wheat, over 3,000,000 bushels of potatoes, 100,000 tons of hay and forage, 
 many million dollars worth of fruits and vegetables, over 200,000 head of live stock and over 700,000 
 head of poultry. 
 
 The Eastern Shore could support richly a population twice its present size and the production 
 could be more than doubled. Of the farm land of the Eastern Shore from 20 to 30 per cent, is not 
 used. Every acre of it is valuable. 
 
 In 1607 an April storm blew into the Chesapeake capes Captain Christopher Newport's fleet of 
 three small vessels. After that the settlement of the Eastern Shore began. In 1628 William Claiborne 
 made on Kent Island a settlement which he maintained was a part of Virginia and this settlement 
 in 1632 was represented in the Virginia House of Burgesses. The Eastern Shore, therefore, had 
 settlers before the Ark and the Dove with Lord Baltimore's first expedition reached St. Mary's River. 
 There was a fight between the colony and Claiborne. One of Claiborne's boats was captured and its 
 cargo sold. Then Claiborne sent out the armed Cockatrice which two vessels of Lord Baltimore 
 captured. Several men were killed and wounded and this has been called the first naval battle that 
 took place in the new world. The little war went on for some years and Lord Baltimore finally 
 won and Claiborne was driven from Maryland and the Chesapeake. 
 
 The settlement of the Eastern Shore was fairly rapid and in 1694 there were five counties — 
 Somerset, Dorchester, Talbott, Kent and Cecil — Kent being the oldest. The other four counties, — 
 Worcester, Wicomico, Caroline and Queen Anne's — were erected afterwards. Let us take a journey 
 up the Shore through the nine counties, stopping at the main towns. 
 
 Worcester touches all the Atlantic coast of the State of Maryland and includes in its 487 square 
 miles Chincoteague, Sinepuxent, Isle of Wight and Assateague bays, all bodies of water that have 
 
 I'di/r Tiro Hiiiiilrril Foiiil-Fonr 
 
fine fishing and oyster resources. From one town as many as thirty thousand barrels of oysters are 
 shipped annually. Fine fish are sent to northern markets. The industries are agriculture and 
 lumber. The county has two thousand farms and their value has risen in recent years. In Worcester 
 is Ocean City, one of the most delightful summer resorts along the coast, visited by tens of thousands 
 every year. Bayard Taylor pronounced its beach ideal. Snow Hill, the county seat, one of the 
 "towns and ports of trade" erected in 1686, was settled by business men from the Snow Hill district 
 of London, and most of its people are of English descent. It is at the head of navigation of the Poco- 
 moke river and has direct steamer connection with Baltimore. It has important banking interests 
 and manufactures millions of baskets and crates for fruits and berries. Berlin is an attractive town 
 with active enterprises and near it is one of the finest enterprises of the whole country, the very 
 extensive and wonderfully kept Harrison Nurseries. They draw people from every land and their 
 trees, plants and seeds enjoy an international reputation. Newark is a smaller town but it has 
 progressive citizens and a pleasant life. In the western part of the county is Pocomoke City, which 
 has come to the front as a thriving and progressive community with excellent banks and successful 
 industries, including shipyards. 
 
 Somerset was erected August 22, 1666, in the name and as the act of the Lord Proprietary 
 "into a county by the name of Somersett County in honor to our Deare Sister the lady Mary 
 Somersett." Princess Anne, the county seat, is a charming place with attractive people. It is the 
 center of prosperous agriculture and small fruit growing. The main town, however, is Crisfield, 
 founded over fifty years ago by John W. Crisfield. It is the capital of crabdom and the greatest 
 oyster port in the world. It has been built by oysters and on oyster shells — the Venice of the Eastern 
 Shore. Here one sees every kind of craft that sails the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It has 
 extensive industrial and commercial interests and has in reach a good agricultural country. Crisfield 
 once had a weather-beaten look but in recent years it has grown in architectural attractiveness. Somer- 
 set County has supplied many prominent men to the public life of Maryland and it feeds the tables 
 of great cities from its waters rich with oysters, crabs, fish, terrapin and game. 
 
 Coming north we reach Wicomico County, named for the river that flows through its central 
 section and that gives it regular steamer service with Baltimore. The biggest thing in Wicomico is 
 Salisbury, the county seat, one of the largest centers of population on the Eastern Shore. Salisbury is 
 the head of navigation on the Wicomico, a very important centre of the railroad travel of the peninsula, 
 the strategic point on the highways of Maryland, within an hour of the Atlantic Ocean, and in all 
 respects the leading metropolis of the lower peninsula. It is modern with the pulsations of progress 
 and with new life spilling out in new streets and new homes. It dates back to 1732. It has large 
 banking interests, big lumber industries, ship building, a fine wholesale trade, is a city of automobiles 
 and contains handsome new buildings, including a general hospital. Young Men's Christian Associa- 
 tion, State Armory and fine churches. Its high school stands well. It has an able bar and its business 
 men work along front lines of efficiency. Salisbury is one of the livest and most substantial cities in 
 America. On the banks of the Nanticoke river in Wicomico County is Sharptown, whose shipyard 
 is long established and successful. In Wicomico (then Somerset) County Francis Makemie estab- 
 lished a Presbyterian Church before the formation in 1706 of the American Presbytery in Phila- 
 delphia and is called the founder of the Presbyterian Church in America. 
 
 Crossing the Nanticoke river we now enter Dorchester, the largest of the Eastern Shore counties, 
 having 610 square miles. It dates from 1669 and its name comes from the Earl of Dorset. Myriads 
 of wild ducks frequent its marsh lands and its yields of oysters, crabs and fish amount to millions of 
 dollars. It raises tomatoes and corn for the packing houses which also put up great quantities of 
 oysters. It has over two thousand farms on which are raised cereals, hay, vegetables, fruits and 
 truck of all kinds. Cambridge, the county seat, is one of the loveliest towns of America. It has a 
 picturesque situation on the Choptank eighteen miles from its mouth and is the home of a most 
 delightful social life. Within a generation Cambridge has furnished three governors to the State 
 and many other men to prominent offices. In fact one of Dorchester's biggest crops is its politics. 
 It gives the life of the whole county a unique distinction. Cambridge has many historic attractions, 
 but its new progress has become its main interest. Its buildings include the interesting old court 
 house, the new State armory, and the new hospital. There are handsome residences. It has pro- 
 gressive financial institutions, large canneries, shipyards and other industries. It is also the home 
 of a great fleet of oyster vessels. One of Dorchester's historic towns is Vienna, which built good 
 
 Page Tivo Hundred Fortu-Five 
 
ships when the white oak forests of Dorchester still supplied the best material for shipbuilding, an 
 era that preceded the coming of iron and steel in naval construction. Hurlock is another Dorchester 
 town that is worth seeing. 
 
 Caroline is the most inward of Eastern Shore counties. Its area is 320 square miles. It has 
 commerce with the Chesapeake Bay by the Choptank river, navigable to Denton by steamers from 
 Baltimore. On the 1,800 farms of Caroline, wheat, corn, tomatoes, peaches, fruits and berries are 
 raised in profitable quantities. There are large packing interests, including branches of Chicago 
 houses at Ridgely. One feature of Caroline County is the number of factories in every part of the 
 county. Denton, the county seat, was first called Ed ntown after Governor Eden, and it dates from 1773. 
 The county was named in honor of Lady Eden. Denton is an attractive town with hospitable people. 
 It has prosperous banks and successful industries. Federalsburg is a fine town. Historically Caro- 
 line is proud of the "Caroline Resolutions of 1774" pledging resistance to the arbitrary action of 
 Parliament. Caroline gave fine service to the Revolutionary War and to all other wars of the 
 Republic. 
 
 Crossing the Choptank river we enter Talbot, a great county full of interest and delightful 
 people. It was named after Lord Talbot and it has an area of 285 square miles, much of which is 
 water, for it is cut up by rivers and creeks and is famous for its landscapes and its beautiful water 
 views. The loveliness of the county has drawn well-to-do people from other sections and they have 
 made their homes here. Talbot has been noted for its public men. It was the birthplace of John 
 Dickinson, the home of the father of Robert Morris and of Governors, United States Senators, and of 
 Philip F. Thomas, Secretary of the Treasury, and of many officials of other ranks. The Talbot bar 
 has always stood high. Here lived Tench Tilghman, the member of Washington's staff who made the 
 memorable ride carrying the news of the triumph of the Americans at Yorktown to the Congress in 
 Philadelphia, riding at breakneck speed through the peninsula, telling that Cornwallis was taken, and 
 calling "A fresh horse for Congress." This ride has been immortalized in song and story. Easton, 
 the county seat, is in the midst of a fine agricultural country, with its harbor a mile away but with 
 all its approaches attractive. It is a little city of great dignity and of pleasant history. It has very 
 old homes running back to the eighteenth century and the new part is well-built and neat. It has 
 modern sewers, a water supply, a modern hospital, excellent banks, factories, milling interests, can- 
 neries. It is the seat of a Protestant bishopric, with a fine pro-Cathedral. The town is surrounded by 
 evidences of culture and prosperity and within a ten mile radius are some of the most attractive 
 homes in America. Oxford and St. Michael's are two picturesque and prosperous towns of Talbot. 
 
 Next we come to Queen Anne's County, a place of fertile fields, rural homes, kind people and 
 romance. It was erected in 1706 and it has an area of 376 square miles, including Kent Island, 
 which after two and a half centuries is more fertile than ever. It has also 46 square miles of water. 
 Here we find some of the finest productivity in the land. Its fifteen hundred farms produce wheat, 
 corn, truck, fruits, berries, vegetables in great abundance and these are taken to Baltimore across the 
 Bay or to the northern cities within easy reach. Centreville, the county seat, is a fine town. On the 
 bayshore is Queenstown, a county seat in colonial times. Queen Anne's had a distinguished colonial 
 life, with its great estates and the big way of living and some of this is found in its hospitality to-day. 
 Its industries include flour mills and canneries. It packs a large quantity of vegetables. The biggest 
 thing in Queen Anne's, however, is its agriculture. 
 
 When the settlers from Kent in England saw the verdure and level country of the upper Eastern 
 Shore they named their new county after their old home. Kent is the oldest of the Eastern Shore 
 counties and its settlement dates from 1628. This county is a peninsula and it has eighty miles of 
 coastline, one result being various lines of boats that give it ready access to Baltimore and Philadel- 
 phia. It has an area of 315 square miles and in its two thousand farms it raises the standard crops 
 and much fruit. Throughout the county are canneries and mills. No town in Maryland, or in 
 America for that matter, retains more of its colonial beauty and atmosphere than Chestertown, the 
 county seat. The whole region is full of history and beauty. Chestertown was laid out in 1706 and 
 the custom house dates to that century. Calvert considered it for the capitol of his new colony. It 
 is fifteen miles below the head of navigation and a sail to its wharves is an unforgettable expe- 
 rience. It has a Main Street full of business and a Main Square full of historical associations, with 
 every vehicle from oxcarts to the latest automobiles. The owners of the old homes have shown fine 
 taste in restoring them without ruining them. It is a town of Doric porches, of Georgian fronts, 
 and it has Washington College, now in its 140th year, whose corner stone was laid by Washington 
 
 Piige Tiro Hmuh-Cft Forltj-Six 
 
himself. Chestertown also has fine banks, paper, basket and fertilizer factories and other plants. In 
 the Revolution Kent had its own tea party. In 1812 it repulsed a British attack. To all the wars it 
 contributed brave men. Other fine Kent towns are Betterton, growing all the while as a summer 
 resort, Rock Hall, Galena, Millington, Still Pond and others. 
 
 Most northerly of the Eastern Shore counties is Cecil, erected in 1624 and named in honor of 
 the second Lord Baltimore. It has an area of 360 square miles, some of it under water. On its sixteen 
 hundred farms are raised wheat, corn, tomatoes, hay, potatoes, buckwheat, and it sends dairy and 
 creamery products to the near-by cities. It has solid banks, quarries and mills of many kinds. From 
 the earliest times this was the land of plenty. Its waters swarmed with wild fowl. The father of 
 Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, wrote him when hs was a student in London to fetch over to this 
 country a skilled huntsman to be stationed in Elk Neck to furnish deer, wild turkeys and ducks to 
 the table of Carrollton. Cecil has fine water power and mills for paper, iron, cotton, phosphate, 
 flour, kaolin and flour-spar. In other years it had iron furnaces. In Cecil settled Augustine Her- 
 mann, first lord of Bohemian Manor, on his great estate of 20,000 acres, and John Fiske says he was 
 the first alien naturalized in what is now the United States. From this county also came John Fiske, 
 David Davis and other noted men. Cecil furnished governors, cabinet officers and senators, Elkton, 
 the county town, dates from 1787. It has a fine industrial prosperity, including fertilizer works, ship- 
 yards, pulp mills, hosiery mills. Its banks are solid and progressive. The county has an unusual 
 educational record and the West Nottingham Academy has a unique fame. Elk river rivals the Hudson 
 in beauty and Cecil has much scenery that draws travelers, especially the Susquehanna. At Perryville 
 is the new town and the new government hospital. The banks of the river at Port Deposit reach 
 200 feet. Port Deposit was once a ferrying point, but was developed by lumber and stone and now 
 it is the site of the great Jacob Tome Institute, perhaps the finest secondary school in the world. 
 There are many quaint places in the county, and along the Sassafras. Fredericktown, named after 
 Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales, dates from 1736, and on the opposite bank is Georgetown, named 
 after George II, both quaint and full of historical associations. Here the State highway has come 
 and new life is seen. Fredericktown was a ferry place and some of the Arcadians of Nova Scotia, told 
 about so graphically in Longfellow's "Evangeline," sought temporary refuge here after their depor- 
 tation. The Maryland Legislature aided them. From toe to top Cecil is full of interest, fertility and 
 beauty. In the Revolutionary War a British fleet ascended the Elk River above Turkey Point. 
 
 Thus we have travelled over the Eastern Shore and have seen a few of its high points and have 
 gotten — I hope — at least a faint idea of its life. The whole shore is alluvial, all fertility and this soil 
 renews itself almost endlessly, so that its bounty in crops becomes a heritage to every generation. It 
 has a priceless asset in the Chesapeake Bay. The Eastern Shore moves onward and upwards. It is 
 being tied more closely to Baltimore by steamers, ferries, aeroplanes and automobiles. And yet 
 with all these crops and these means of communication and everything, the finest value is the charm 
 of the people living a life removed from the excitement and bustle of cities and yet playing their full 
 part in the business and progress of their times.

 Charles O. Culver, one of the leading young business men 
 of Salisbury, is general superintendent of the Eastern Shore 
 Gas and Electric Company, one of the principal enterprises of 
 the Maryland Peninsula. 
 
 The Eastern Shore Gas & Electric Company was incorporated 
 in 1915, to take over and operate a number of plants serv- 
 ing several towns in lower Delaware, and Wicomico, Dorches- 
 ter and Caroline counties of Maryland. 
 
 The companies operating in Salisbury, Cambridge, Federals- 
 burg and Denton have been merged into a corporation known 
 as "The Eastern Shore Gas & Electric Co. of JIaryland," which 
 furnishes electric service in sixteen towns on the Maryland 
 Peninsula. The above company is a subsidiary of the Eastern 
 Shore Gas & Electric Company, which operates in lower Del- 
 aware, and serves fourteen towns in that section. 
 
 During the five year period since its organization, the com- 
 pany has discontinued the use of the original plants, and all 
 current is now furnished from one central generating .station 
 and is carried to the various towns by means of high voltage 
 transmission lines, thereby Insuring continuous twenty-four 
 hour service to all of these towns. 
 
 In addition to the many towns In Southern Delaware and 
 Maryland supplied with electric and gas service, electric cur- 
 rent also is wholesaled to Independent companies furnishing 
 a number of other towns. Among the industries served by the 
 company are canneries, flour mills, planing mills, ice plants, 
 brick yards, water plants, and shirt factories. 
 
 The company also conducts a general electric contracting 
 business and sells electric supplies and appliances. 
 
 Offices and display rooms are maintained in Salisbury. Cam- 
 bridge, Federalsburg and Denton, Maryland, and several Dela- 
 ware cities. The general offices of the company are in Salis- 
 bury. 
 
 More than 5,800 customers are served by the company and 
 this number is being greatly increased each year because of the 
 excellent service furnished. More than 75 persons are em- 
 ployed regularly by the company and share in the benefits of 
 an Employes' Welfare Association. 
 
 A steady increase has been shown in the earnings of the 
 company during the last five years and more than 4.000 II. P. 
 in motor load has been added to the system.

FREDERICK, MARYLAND 
 
 |EORGE WASHINGTON called the valley of which Frederick is the metropolis, "the most 
 beautiful in the world," and the County of Frederick and the City of Frederick have lost 
 nothing of their charm since the days of Washington. 
 
 Soil fertility is the accepted thing in Frederick County, the land lying adjacent to Fred- 
 erick city yielding the most bounteous crops of the Eastern States, if not the entire coun- 
 try. And the city of Frederick, as the center of the farming wealth is one of the most prosperous 
 of towns dependent almost entirely upon agriculture for their subsistance, in the United States. 
 
 There are manufacturing enterprises, several of which operate nationally and on an enormous 
 scope. But primarily, Frederick is an "agricultural town," — a town which is the distributing point for 
 supplies of the fertile valley and the concentration point for the tremendous crops of fruit and grain 
 which yearly find their way to the market places of the entire country. 
 
 Frederick is a very wealthy community, wealthy beyond the average of cities several times its 
 size and this fact is evidenced in no stronger manner than by the existence of seven banks in the city 
 with total deposits of more than $16,000,000, and resources of $19,558,000. 
 
 The settlement of Frederick County came almost 100 years after the establishment of American 
 Colonies in tidewater portions of the State. During the time around 1730, several of the parties of 
 Germans who had been drifting down from Pennsylvania to take up holdings in Virginia saw the pos- 
 sibilities in the Frederick Valley and established settlements here. People of English blood came up 
 from the Potomac at the mouth of Rock Creek and established settlements in Urbana District. 
 
 Because the land which now comprises Frederick County was so rich in game, it was debatable 
 ground among the Indian tribes, no one of which was permitted to live in peace by the others. 
 Legends carry the stories of many great battles between the tribes, in two of which there was but one 
 survivor of the defeated party. The Indians were disposed to dispute the rights of this fertile valley 
 with the white pioneers and many of the early settlers paid with their lives for their attempts to carry 
 civilization westward. During the French and Indian War, a great part of the county was devastated 
 and after the Braddock campaign the Indians approached to within a short distance of Baltimore. 
 
 Frederick was laid out upon what was known as Tasker's Chance and was surveyed for Benjamin 
 Tasker in 1725. Seven thousand acres of land were embraced in the patent. The plotting of the 
 town followed twenty years later. The county was prescribed by an Act of Assembly in 1748. In 
 1755 the Seven Years War began and Maryland suffered probably more than any of the other col- 
 onies. Frederick County was the center of the campaign and all of the headquarters of the forces 
 opposed to the French and Indians were in Frederick town. 
 
 Frederick County was deeply interested and suffered by the running of Mason and Dixon's line in 
 1767, much of the area of the County being lost by the subsequent decision, however, the disputes 
 which had caused much bloodshed between the Colonists were settled and border peace restored. 
 
 Frederick County had recovered in appreciable measure from the devastating raids of the Indians 
 and French before the start of the Revolutionary War. Some of the communities had begun showing 
 greatly increased population and building was being carried on in increasing volume, when the second 
 call to arms came. 
 
 Because of the independence that had been instilled in the hearts of the residents of the county, 
 through the farther removal of English influence in the coast settlements and the necessity for standing 
 alone during the Indian strife, the District proved a fertile field for the recruiting of the Continental 
 Army. In addition to these facts the residents of the valley were men who had felt the yoke of 
 oppression and were quick to spring to arms to aid concerted effort to remove these bonds. The various 
 tax acts were particularly obnoxious to the hardy pioneers of Frederick County and almost the 
 first threats heard against the Mother Country, came from here. Evidencing the spirit of the times, a 
 meeting was held in Frederick on December 8, 1774, at which it was urged that not only the commer- 
 cial independence be sought but that military companies be organized for the fight for complete inde- 
 pendence. Shortly after this the manufacture of munitions began on a comprehensive scale nearby 
 and Frederick was selected for an arsenal, a general military headquarters and military prison. 
 
 When the news of the first brush with the British forces in the North reached Frederick, two full 
 companies were completed and marched to join the Continental Army in Boston. 
 
 Puiie Tico Hundred Sixtii-One 
 
The first British prisoners reached Frederick and were put in the military prison here in March 
 of 1776. The first cannon made in this country were made in a foundry in Georgetown on the 
 Potomac. 
 
 The Maryland troops were actively engaged in the battle of Monmouth and in the fighting inci- 
 dental to Washington's campaign to recover New York. 
 
 The first two governors of Maryland, Thomas Johnson and Thomas Sim Lee came from Fred- 
 erick County. Thomas Sim Lee was born near the foot of South Mountain. 
 
 Nail making was one of the important industries of Frederick in the earliest period. All of the 
 nails had to be made by hand, as cut nails had not been invented. 
 
 From the end of the Revolutionary days, the development of Frederick County has been rapid. 
 Agriculture then, as now, occupied the prominent place in the district's activities. The whiskey troubles 
 of 1791 to 1794 occasioned considerable excitement in the territory because of the fact that much 
 whiskey was made thereabouts and at one time an organized movement was started among the makers 
 of whiskey to march upon Frederick and take possession of the arsenal. 
 
 The first lights on the streets of Frederick were installed in 1832. Twenty years later gas lines 
 had been installed and the streets were lighted by this fuel. The construction of the city's water supply 
 system began in 1844 and was completed in November of the following year and cost $90,000. 
 
 The first train reached Frederick December of 1831, and was greeted by lines of citizens and a 
 salute from several cannon. 
 
 Among the early industries started in Frederick was the manufacture of perukes; in 1761 an iron 
 mine; in 1763, a wire mill; cotton and wool card manufacture; grist mill; rope factory in 1809; candy 
 making in 1812; bakery in 1822, ice cream shortly after; a carpet factory in 1833, tanning in the 
 same year, and copper mining in 1798. 
 
 Francis Scott Key, the most widely known man of Frederick County, was a son of a pioneer resi- 
 dent of the Monocacy Valley. He was widely known throughout this District as a lawyer, poet and 
 patriot. He began the practice of law in Frederick in 1801. He had been here but a short time when 
 he was appointed United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia. It was while living in 
 Washington that the instance arose about which he wrote the National Anthem. 
 
 During the closing months of 1860, Maryland, divided as it was between the views of the North 
 and South, began taking sides for the great civil struggle. The state as a whole held sympathy with 
 the South, but counties, cities and families were divided and the opening of hostilities found friends 
 and relatives arrayed against friends and relatives. Frederick changed hands several times during 
 the advance and retreat of the opposing forces, two flags being shown during several days. 
 
 Agitation for paved streets began in Frederick in 1888 and in the same year a movement was 
 started to supplant the antiquated gas lights with the modern electric lamps. Shortly after this 
 thoughts turned to the possibility of construction of electric lines and the first was built in 1894. 
 
 In 1869 the first packing plant operating upon a comprehensive scale, was started in Frederick 
 and sugar corn was canned in considerable quantities. Tomatoes were added to the products and 
 later beans and peas. By 1886 the output of the first plant was increased to more than 3,000,000 cans 
 of corn yearly. 
 
 The banking institutions of Frederick today are among the soundest of the entire state, the seven 
 banks being composed of three national banks, one state bank, one trust company and two savings in- 
 stitutions. Three of the banks are more than a hundred years old. 
 
 There are two foundries in the city employing more than 300 men, one of them, the Frederick 
 Iron and Steel Company, with more than 250 employes. 
 
 The Ox Fibre Brush Company, manufacturer of brushes to the extent of 18,000,000 a year, and 
 having a national sale, is the largest single industry of the city. 
 
 There are two hosiery mills employing more than 300 persons and several flour mills, one of 
 which has a daily capacity of 800 barrels. 
 
 Canning factories always have played an important part in the industrial life of the city and the 
 three plants employ more than 1,000 persons. There also are several plants of this kind in Fred- 
 erick County. Sweet corn is the principal product although practically all of the garden vegetables 
 are handled as well as fruit and berries.

The largest Female School in the state is located in Frederick and was founded in 1848. Hood 
 College, as it has been called since it was changed from the Woman's College, ten years ago, has 
 granted degrees to hundreds of students from many states of the Union. A great building program 
 was started four years ago by the College and in 1917 the school was moved from the old site in Church 
 street to the new buildings on the large campus in the Northern part of the city. The buildings there 
 now represent an outlay of more than $250,000 with several other buildings to be erected soon, includ- 
 ing a chapel and dormitory. 
 
 Frederick is the birth place of the United Brethern Church in Christ which now has followers in 
 many parts of the United States. The largest church of the Reformed Church also is located in 
 Frederick. 
 
 As a matter of historical interest, it was Thomas Johnson, a Frederick man, who, on June 15, 1775, 
 made the motion that George Washington be made commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. 
 
 The Frederick City Hospital stands today as a monument to the spirit of the women of Frederick 
 County, this great institution having been conceived by them and the women of the city and county 
 have taken an active part in its progress during the twenty years of its existence. 
 
 The schools in Frederick County are among the best in the entire state. A comprehensive build- 
 ing program was authorized by the recent state legislature which provides for the expenditure of 
 $250,000 in new buildings. The three high schools of the city are practically new. 
 
 The Maryland School for the Deaf is located in Frederick upon the site of the old Revolutionary 
 Days arsenal, one of the buildings of the old arsenal still being used as one of the work shops. The 
 school is one of the most improved of its kind in the country. 
 
 A beautiful new post office has just been occupied and now is one of the show places of the city. 
 
 The population of Frederick in the recent census showed almost 12,000 persons living in the city. 
 
 The Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads and the Hagerstown and Frederick Electric 
 lines solve the transportation problems of the district, the Baltimore and Ohio line connecting with the 
 main lines of the company within a few miles of the city. Frederick has one of the most advantageous 
 shipping arrangements of any city in the United States, a reciprocal switching agreement between the 
 roads eliminating all switching charges to the industries which have their plants in the city.

EMORY LORENZO COBLENTZ. 
 
 If one man is to be singled out and given tlie liulli of tlie lionor for tlie development of Frederick and Frederick 
 County during the last two decades, tliat man must lie Emory Lorenzo CoWentz. Different from many who have 
 reached places of high esteem, trust and commercial success, Mr. Coblentz Is not an opportunist. Init he has created the 
 opportunities. And in the creation of these opportunities Mr. Coblentz has Ijeen instrumental in the organization 
 and development of more enterprises which have brought general prosperity and commercial progress in his field of 
 oijeration than probably any other one man. 
 
 A niimlHT of the leading business institutions of Frederick and ad.ioining counties stand as evidence of his inde- 
 fati^;iilil. iTi.lii-ifiy, among which is the Ilagerstown and Frederick Railway sy.stem of interurban electric railway, light

 Mr. t'ohlentz was born In Middletown, Maryland, on November 5, 18159. He still has his residence there, although 
 the majority of his business Interests are centered in Frederick. His parents were Edward L., and Lucinda Bechtol

 The textile and shoe manufacturing industries are two of the leading ones of Hagers- 
 town, the city fast coming to be known as the rival of sections of the New England States, which 
 long have led the United States in the manufacture of these products. 
 
 Hagerstown is rich in eventful lore, many of the outstanding events of our national history 
 having had their setting within the confines of Washington County. 
 
 The first settlement was made in the beautiful valley in 1735 and the town of Hagerstown was 
 laid out in September of 1761 by Jonathan Hager on land granted him in 1739 by Lord Baltimore, 
 Lord Proprietary of the Colony of Maryland. The settlement of the Cumberland Valley followed 
 by more than one hundred years the colonies established in the Eastern part of the State, due to the 
 almost insurmountable obstacles which greeted our forefathers as they turned Westward from the 
 Chesapeake. Indians disputed the advance of the pioneers at almost every mile and it was after 
 difficulties which would have turned back less hardier stock that the settlements were established in 
 the most fertile valley which had been discovered in the new world. 
 
 Despite the hardships encountered by these pioneers, and which were greatly more numerous than 
 those experienced by the settlers in the Eastern part of the Colony because of the fact that they were 
 cut off from all communication and protection from the mother country by rugged mountain ranges 
 and were constantly surrounded by the red men, this settlement early took on a substantial atmosphere 
 and prospered from its incipiency. Livelihood was wrested from nature. Virgin forests providing 
 timber for shelter and the low lands giving back food products after hasty cultivation. Hunting was 
 a part of the vocation of the head of each household, meals frequently waiting until the return of the 
 huntsman with fresh meat. 
 
 Remnants of Indian settlements and the primitive fortresses of the white men in various parts of 
 the county to-day, are reminders of the warfare which was waged with the red men for territory. 
 
 In the Revolutionary days, this district gave many men to the Continental Army and after the 
 war, its population was greatly enhanced by members of the British Army who settled here. 
 
 Coming down to the Civil War period, the State was split in its sentiment and towns and even 
 households were divided in the support they gave to the respective armies. 
 
 The fall of 1862 and more particularly the month of September was the most momentous period 
 in the history of Washington County, two battles having been fought during that month in the county 
 between the armies of the North and the armies of the South and the battle of Antietam at Sharps- 
 burg ranks as one of the decisive battles of the world. Union men freely admitted that had General 
 Lee been successful at the battle of Antietam, gaining there a decisive victory, he would have marched 
 into Washington within three days and there dictated his terms which would have made the Con- 
 federate States an independent nation. 
 
 Lee's forces at this battle under the command of himself, Longstreet, Jackson and Hill were 
 composed of 3.5,000 men, weakened by long marches and inadequate food supply. Opposed to him 
 were 87,000 Union troops under the command of General McClellan, fully equipped. It was at 
 this battle that Lee made a masterly stroke when he withdrew his beaten forces from a situation which 
 easily could have meant annihiliation and McClellan fell into discredit for not winning a decisive 
 battle when he had the victory practically within his hands. Being a convert of the policy of having 
 a large reserve force, he withheld 27,000 men from the firing line, when these men, had they been 
 sent into battle, could have captured the entire Confederate forces. 
 
 The battle of South Mountain occurred on September 13, when General D. H. Hill, who had been 
 left at Turner's Gap with 5,000 men to cover the retreat of the Confederate forces engaged the pur- 
 suing army of General McClellan. Lee, who had reached Hagerstown, sent Longstreet back on the 
 night of the thirteenth to aid General Hill. He arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon and found 
 General Hill and his little band still defending the mountain road. General Lee ordered the retire- 
 ment of the Longstreet and Hill forces to Sharpsburg.

The Confederate forces began forming on the field of Antietam on the afternoon of September 
 15th, along a five mile front and their positions were fixed when the Union forces had moved into 
 position and awaited the dawn of September 17th. When the battle closed at the end of this day, 
 the Confederates had lost 1,253 men and the Union Army lost and killed, 2,108. 
 
 From the end of the Civil War, which period found Washington County sadly impoverished, 
 the growth of the county has been a steady, substantial one. The mineral wealth consists principally 
 of iron ore. Cement is manufactured in large quantities in the Western and Southern parts of the 
 county, one plant having a daily output of 3,000 barrels. 
 
 The principal manufacturing is centered in Hagerstown and includes textiles, shoe and leather, 
 underwear and knit goods, woodwork, including furniture, organs, carriages and wood novelties; iron 
 and other metal products, fertilizer, paper boxes, silk, automobiles, brick, flavoring extracts, overalls, 
 and other articles. 
 
 The principal offices and shops of the Western Maryland Railroad are located in Hagerstown 
 and thousands of men are engaged in the repair and care of the hundreds of locomotives in the shops. 
 
 Railroads in seven directions furnish ample rail facilities; eleven hard road highways, including 
 National Highways provide excellent commerce trails for motor and horse-drawn traffic and the nearby 
 Chesapeake and Ohio Canal affords an outlet to tide water at the National Capital. 
 
 Hagerstown has more than sixty miles of streets, most of them paved and a completely motorized 
 fire department. The water supply is drawn from mountain springs with a daily capacity of more 
 than 4,000,000 gallons, the plant being municipally owned. 
 
 The population in the recent census showed almost 29,000, a remarkable growth over the preced- 
 ing census period. 
 
 Citizens of Hagerstown point with pride and assurance to the fact that industries are not confined 
 to one field, a diversity making serious effects to the city through a slack period in any one, a serious 
 matter. 
 
 The stores of Hagerstown are metropolitan and supply a large territory. 
 
 Hagerstown is a city of homes, its many avenues being lined with individual houses and rows of 
 similar houses being infrequent. 
 
 There are many fine churches, two of them dating back to the eighteenth century and several of 
 them are masterpieces of architecture, wrought out of the native limestone. 
 
 The city has its quota of modern hotels. 
 
 Shale is found in enormous quantities and one of the larger plants now is contemplating the 
 manufacture of sewer pipe and paving bricks. 
 
 One of the pioneer potash plants in the United States is located in this county, the product being 
 reclaimed from cement dust. 
 
 Much of the power used throughout the county for manufacturing and public utility service is 
 hydro-electric, several steam plants adding to the supply. 
 
 One of the large steel plants which was engaged in the manufacture of shells during the war 
 period now has turned its activities to wire wheels for automobiles and to the manufacture of air- 
 planes. 
 
 A plant also is located in Hagerstown for the manufacture of cold storage doors, its products 
 being shipped to all parts of the world. 
 
 Hagerstown is the marketing point for the great part of the enormous fruit crop of Washington 
 County. Several orchards having more than 40,000 trees.

WESTMINSTER, MARYLAND 
 
 WESTMINSTER is picturesquely situated in a saddle on the very crest of Parr's Ridge, the 
 water shed of Carroll County. A Maryland poet has described it as a "City dwelling in 
 the valley, city dwelling in the hills." Here the falling rain is divided by Main street 
 and the gutters along the south side of the street conduct the water to the Monocacy which 
 ultimately reaches the Chesapeake through the Potomac; while the gutters along the 
 northern side of this street lead their waters to the Patapsco which also flows into the Chesapeake at 
 Baltimore. 
 
 Westminster was laid out as a proprietary town in 1764 by William Winchester, a son-in-law 
 of the founder of Manchester, whose descendants settled and named Winchester, Kentucky, and Win- 
 chester, Illinois, and was named Winchester in honor of its founder who came to Maryland from Eng- 
 land, arriving in the province of Maryland on the 6th of March, 1729. Main street of today was 
 first called King street as a testimonial of the founder's loyalty to the mother country. For many 
 years the old turnpike, leading from Baltimore to Pittsburg, on which it was located, gave it many 
 advantages. It bore the name of Winchester until early in the nineteenth century when it was given 
 a no less English name, the change being made on account of the confusion arising in the mail ser- 
 vice. Winchester, Virginia, often got the mail intended for residents of this town. 
 
 This fact has been disputed in recent years on account of a plat of Westminster, that seems 
 to have been recorded by William Winchester in Frederick in 1768. In contradiction of this ap- 
 parently complete evidence is a survey of the turnpike road between "Reisterstown and Winchester 
 town" made a quarter of a century later and now on file in the Clerk's office of the Superior Court 
 of Baltimore City. The fact that Winchester chose the name Westminster in 1763 when he had sold 
 enough lots to have the plat recorded would not determine the usage as names once established were 
 very enduring before we had a postal department to determine these questions. Nothing seems more 
 logical than for the gradually growing village to take the name of the estate on which it was built. 
 
 The part of Westminster beginning at Court street and extending west to the Derr Building 
 at the corner of Short street was laid out about a century and a quarter ago by Jacob Sherman and 
 called New London. 
 
 Westminster was incorporated a town in 1830, rechartered in 1837, and erected into a city by 
 Act of Assembly in 1850. A new charter was given Westminster by the Legislature of 1910 which 
 grants the city authority to cope with modern conditions and to make modern improvements. 
 
 "Here occurred the first collision between Federal and Confederate forces on Maryland soil in 
 the campaign of 1863, and the shedding of the first blood. One of the boys in blue, killed in the 
 fight, lies in the graveyard of the beautiful little ivy-covered Ascension Protestant Episcopal church; 
 one in grey sleeps in the Westminster cemetery." 
 
 The original town of Westminster (Winchester) was laid out on "White's Level," a tract of 
 land granted to John White in 1733 for 169l/o acres. Since then the town has gradually extended 
 its limits until it now covers a number of early patents. The West End is built on "Fanny's Meadow," 
 granted to James Walls in 1741. A portion is on "Bond's Meadow," patented by John Ridgely in 
 1753, for 1915 acres. "Timber Ridge" and "Bedford" are partly covered by the present city. 
 "Kelly's Range" embraces the Western Maryland College grounds and "Bond's Meadow Enlarged" 
 includes the Court House grounds. 
 
 In 1837, Westminster was chosen as County seat of Carroll County, at which time it did not 
 contain more than 500 inhabitants. 
 
 In 1861 the Western Maryland Railroad passed through the town and it had a population of 
 2,500 with forty stores, three banks and a number of manufactories and warehouses. Today it has 
 five banks, two ice plants, several factories employing several hundred women, three large depart- 
 ment stores, two hardware stores, and a number of smaller stores. All streets are macadamized. 
 
 Another feature of this city is its summer boarding houses which attract many visitors from Bal- 
 timore during June, July and August. The population, from the last census, 1920, gives 3,521. 
 
 Western Maryland College, one of the leading educational institutions of the State, is located 
 here and has 800 students in attendance this year. Dr. Norman Ward is its president, having 
 succeeded Dr. T. H. Lewis, resigned.

Two large canneries — B. F. Shriver Company and Smith-Yingling Company — give employment 
 to several hundred men, women and children during canning season. The Shriver factory is one of 
 the largest in the State and is equipped with the latest modern machinery to do the work. 
 
 Mr. Howard E. Koontz is the Mayor and the City and the Common Council is composed of 
 Walter H. Davis, Frank T. Shaeffer, Charles Hesson, George W. Babylon and George E. Matthews, 
 
 Another industry that is worthy of notice is the large flour mill of Englar and Sponseller, which 
 has a capacity of 300 barrels daily. 
 
 Westminster High School has an attendance of 600. The students are not all from the city, but 
 come from rural schools to take up higher studies. 
 
 The City of Westminster offers many advantages over larger cities. Its high elevation makes it 
 an ideal summering place with unsurpassed train service to Baltimore City. Its water comes from 
 artesian wells and is pure mountain water. Its streets are well lighted by electricity which is also 
 furnished to private homes. A volunteer fire department, well organized, gives ample protection.

WADE H. D. WARFIELD, 
 
 The Honorable Wade H. D. Warfield, of SykesYille, Carroll county, wlio served with distinction in the State Sen- 
 ate sessions of 1916 and 191S, and in the special war session of 1917, is one of the hest known citizens of Maryland.

 He is the son ni ( h.nh.s Alfxandcr and Caroline Devries Warfleld, and was born October 7, 1S64. He received 
 his rudinicTitar.v rdihalion in flip puljllc schools of Carroll county and at the Springfield Institute. In 1880 he en- 
 tered the StaiiulMii Miliiarv Academy at Slaunton, Va„ from which he was graduated with honors in 1883. 
 
 He is marri.d ami lias three daughters, Mrs. James O. Ridgely, of Sykesville., Mrs. Henry Devries Cassard, wife 
 of Lieutenant II. ■my licvii.s Cassard, who is stationed at Fort Amador, Canal Zone, Panama, and Mrs. Morgan O. Tay- 
 lor, wife of the riiiircl siales Vice Consul at Zurich, Switzerland. Mrs. Warfleld was formerly Miss Ellen Water- 
 house, of Whfiliiii;. West Virginia. 
 
 The \\ a III. Ill liom.> is known far and wide for its hospitality and ideal home life. Senator Warfleld is a member 
 of the Sprinuii.hi i'r.'sbyterian church. 
 
 Senator WariiiUl has always lived at Sykesville. Immediately on leaving college, he entered on a business career 
 at that place aud has sttjadily grown to ho the most important factor in the community. He organized and incorpor- 
 ated the Sykesville Lumber, Coal & Grain Company, one of the largest enterprises in this section of Maryland. He 
 became its president and remained in that capacity until the business was reorganized and became the Maryland Mill- 
 ing & Supply Company, with largely inn-i-ascd resources. He is now the president of that company, it being the largest 
 supply house .if the kind in Central :\lai\ laii.l. 
 
 In I'.iol, Ml'. Warfleld organiz.'.l ih.' s.vk.sville National Bank, of which he has since been the president, and 
 which has the distinction of being the only bank in Carroll county that ever paid a 50 per cent dividend. 
 
 In 1007 he organized the Sykesville Realty & Investment Company, another successful institution. He has been 
 at the head of every progressive movement in the community where he lives and where he has erected a modern 
 granite .and brick business block, which includes the post office, Lyceum Theatre and Masonic Hall. This block 
 speaks volumes for Mr. Warfleld's enterprise and thoroughness. 
 
 Senator Warfleld is also an enthusiastic and practical farmer, owning and operating four farms and two large dai- 
 ries. His farms are In a high state of cultivation and his dairies sanitary and modern. 
 
 Under three Governors, Smith, Warfleld and Crothers, he served as a memlier of the State Livestock Sanitary 
 Board, and his friends point with pride to his record as the chairman of the body. He is now serving as a member 
 of the Board of Managers of the Springfleld State Hospital. 
 
 Mr. Warfleld's record in the Senate was one marked by zealous attention to matters of legislation and the 
 interests of his constituents. He served on the most important "committees in that body and as chairman of the com-

JAMES E. HOOPER. 
 
 James E. Hooper, founder of the cotton mills at Woodberry, Baltimore, Maryland, was 
 born in 1841, and died at his summer home at Rehoboth, Delaware, July 5, 1908. He was the son 
 of William E. Hooper, who was one of the pioneer cotton mill operators of the State. 
 
 James E. Hooper was educated in the private school of Rippert and Newell, one of the best 
 institutions of learning existent during that period. He later entered the large cotton mills which 
 had been founded by his father, beginning in a subordinate position and thereby acquiring a compre- 
 hensive knowledge of every detail of the industry. These mills were later merged in the Cotton 
 Duck Company, and when that corporation was organized, Mr. Hooper was appointed general 
 manager and later became president of the company. He resigned from this office in 1904, being 
 busy at the time with plans for the erecton of mills at Woodberry, these then being known as the 
 Hooperwood Mills. Mr. Hooper was president of the latter company, but during his last illness, his 
 son, William E. Hooper, the vice-president and general manager, acted as president. All the stock 
 of this company was in the possession of the Hooper family, and the death of Mr. Hooper prac- 
 tically made no change in the methods of operation hitherto followed. The plant was then con- 
 ducted under the style of The William E. Hooper & Sons Company, manufacturers of cotton- 
 duck. 
 
 In tracing back the activities of the Hooper family in the cotton manufacturing business, one 
 finds that William E. Hooper, father of the above-mentioned James E. Hooper, was the pioneer in 
 this line, having become identified with cotton manufacturing in 1848, in which year he purchased 
 the Woodberry Mill. 
 
 Having at that time no practical knowledge of duck making, William E. Hooper entered into 
 co-partnership with one of the former owners of Woodberry Mill, Horatio N. Gambrill. The 
 undertaking was very successful, and when they became the proper age, James E. Hooper and his 
 brothers were taken into the business in various capacities. About the time of the Civil War, 
 William E. Hooper purchased Mr. Gambrill's interest, and Mr. Gambrill built the Druid Mill is 
 competition with the Woodberry. This mill, however, was later acquired by the Hoopers, and when 
 William J., Theodore, James E. and Alcaeus Hooper were taken into the firm, several other mills 
 at Woodberry were acquired. William E. Hooper died in 1885, and the mills were sold to the trust 
 in 1899, largely because Theodore Hooper desired to retire from business. It was at this time 
 that James E. Hooper and his brothers began to plan for the erection of a new cotton man- 
 ufacturing enterprise. The advisability of locating the new mills in the South was considered, owing 
 to a then widespread belief that mills located in the North could not compete with Southern mills 
 on account of the apparently lower operating cost of the latter. This objection was, however, de- 
 cided against, and when the new plant was erected at Woodberry, many of the former employes 
 of the Hoopers demonstrated their regard for the family by making application to re-enter their 
 service. The mill operatives had not failed to remember the just treatment accorded them by the 
 members of the Hooper family, and particularly the fact that James E. Hooper had permitted him- 
 self to be elected a member of the State Legislature that he might be thus enabled to introduce and 
 have passed a short-hour law for the protection of child labor in mills. 
 
 Mr. Hooper was active in a number of philanthropic and educational institutions. He was a 
 member of the First Methodist Episcopal church; was president of the Kelso Home; one of the 
 board of trustees of the Women's (now Goucher College), a member of the Board of Park Com- 
 missioners; a member of Pickering Lodge, F. & A. M., and of Druid Hill Chapter, Royal Arch 
 Masons. 
 
 Mr. Hooper married (first) Mary Mc Williams, a niece of the late Thomas M. Lanahan. He 
 married (second) Sarah, daughter of the late George Poole. Children: Mrs. Robert H. Smith, 
 Mrs. John R. Dorsey; William E. Hooper, former president and manager of the Hooper mills; 
 Robert P. Hooper, of Philadelphia, present president and treasurer of the mills; Lulie P. Hooper; 
 Grace Hooper, and James P. Hooper, who is now vice-president and general manager of William E. 
 Hooper & Sons Co. 
 
 Mr. H. R. W. Smith is secretary and assistant treasurer of the company. William E. Hooper, 
 former president, is no longer interested in the mills. 
 
 This industry which was founded by James E. Hooper is among the largest of its kind 
 in the State and country. There is more than one acre of space on each of the

WILLIAM SWINDELL. 
 
 Among the citizens of bygone days who made possible the present enviable position of Baltimore in the world of 
 trade and industry, none who have passed beyond have left a more eloquent record both as to achievement and sterling 
 character, than did William Swindell, founder of the great glass manufacturing industry of Swindell Brothers, public- 
 spirited citizen, and valued friend to all who enjoyed his acquaintance. 
 
 William Swindell, son of William and Lydia (Emmitt) Swindell, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on February 
 10, 1821, and died at his home in Baltimore on September 27, 1S91. His father, William Swindell, second, was one

JULIEN P. FEIEZ. 
 
 Julien P. Fi-iez, founder of the Belfort Meteorological Observatory, Baltimore. Haryland, lioi-n near Belfort France 
 
 August 16, 1851, died at his home, "Belfort," Central avenue and Baltimore street, Baltimore, on March 9 1916 He 
 
 was the son of Joseph (horn December 13, 1818, died February 21, 1891) and Marguerite Roi (daughter of Francis 
 
 Eoi, of the Household of Louis XVI, of France), and a grandson of Jean Jacques and Marie (Moine) Friez. 
 
 Julien. P. Friez studied under the private tutelage of Professor Rose, in the village of Geromagny France At 
 the .age of sixteen he came to the United States and entered New York University, where he later graduated In 
 1868 he was apprenticed to Robert Henning, of Ottaway, Illinois, an expert on telegraph instruments He event- 
 ually became managing head of the Henning factory, and was a pioneer in the perfection of the telegraph. Hen- 
 ning's was the first Western establishment to undertake the development of the telegraph, and Mr. Friez aided in 
 completing the first telegraph line in the West, of about ten miles in length, connecting the factory and shops with 
 Mr. Henning's residence. In Ottaway. Mr. Friez became a.ssociated with Professors Morse. Knox and Shane and 
 in that town he also made the first telegraph key and sounder for the Western Electric Company, which had taken 
 over the Henning plant. 
 
 In 1872 Mr. Friez located in Philadelphia, where he began the manufacture of telegraph instruments, but owing 
 to the subsequent Philadelphia business panic he soon removed to Baltimore, where he became manager with A 
 Hall & Company, makers of electric clocks. One of the clocks made under his management is still on duty in tlie 
 City Hall, another in the Rennert Hotel. Next. Mr. Friez was an official of the Brush Electric Company, and 
 later was superintendent, at Baltimore, of the Mergenthalcr Manufacturing Company, there aiding in invention and per- 
 fection of the linotype machine. He was later associated with several other nationallv known scientists and in- 
 ventors, and about 1880 he established the Belfort Meteorological Observatory, which is also known as Julien P 
 Friez & Sons. This great industry is now conducted by the founder's son, Lucien L. Friez, whose natural ability 
 was developed and trained by his father. 
 
 Julien P. Friez was known as one of the world's foremost manufacturers of meteorological instruments and 
 aparatus in the world, his important inventions being almost without number. He perfected and completed the 
 first practical heliograph ; the quadruple register, which records on a single sheet the velocity and direction of the 
 wind and sunshine and rainfall for each minute of the day ; the soil thermograph, which records temperature be- 
 neath the earth's surface ; the Friez water-stage register, to record stages and levels of water in rivers and reser- 
 voirs, and the movements of the tide. 
 
 From 1900 to 1916 Mr. Friez devoted himself to meteorology, a science in which he was a pioneer. In his re- 
 treat at Belfort he pursued his study, investigation and invention, his only diversion was the beautifying of his 
 grounds with all varieties of roses, shrubbery and trees. 
 
 Mr. Friez married Cordelia Schimpf, of Philadelphia. Children : Frederick J., .Julien M., deceased • Lucien L 
 successor to the business of Julien P. Friez & Sons ; and three daughters. Sister M. Pierre, a Sister of Mercy ; Alice 
 C. Jennings, wife of M. J. Jennings, and Louise Marie, wife of M. Burns Hyland.

JOHN E. HUKST. 
 
 Few citizens have lived in tlie city of Baltimore who have left a more commendable record for every trait of 
 character that constitutes true greatness than the late John Edward Hurst. Certainly none whose memory has lin- 
 gered and will linger in the affections of all who knew him as an upright man and a tireless worker in the interests 
 of his community. 
 
 John Edward Ilurst, son of Stephen and Ann (Jones) Hurst, was the descendant of a family which is one of the 
 oldest in date of settlement in this country, and traces its lineage as far back as the year 1216 in England. It has fur- 
 nished its full quota of members to those who were active in defence of the rights and liberties of this country, and 
 to commercial, financial and commercial lines. The late Bishop John Fletcher Hurst, of the Methodist Episcopal 
 church, former president of the Drew Theological Seminary, well known author and writer for the press, was a 
 grandson of Samuel Edward Ilurst (of County Surray, England) and bis first wife, Lavinia Littleton, and there have 
 been a number of others of this family who bnvo ;itl;iiunl fame :is writers. 
 
 John Edward llui-st was born at Weir's Neck farm, on Ibi' (Jrcat Cboptank River, near Cambridge, October 21, 
 1832, and he died on January 0, 1904. He studied at Cambridge Academy for several years, and at the age of sev- 
 enteen came to Baltimore, accepting a position with Hamilton, Easter & Company, but at the end of one year became 
 an employee of Hamilton & Sons, with whom he remained for seven years. He then associated with the firm of 
 Hurst & Berry, in which his uncle, John Ilurst, was senior partner. In 18.57, with his cousin, the late William R. 
 Ilurst, he bought out the old firm of Hurst c& Berry, and the firm then became Hurst & Company. The firm became, 
 on December 1, 1895, John E. Ilurst & Company, its members then being John E, Hurst, Lloyd L. Jackson, William 
 B. Hurst, and John E. Hurst, Jr., of whom a sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. Recently, this firm has 
 taken the name of John E. Hurst & Co., Inc. 
 
 The great wholesale dry goods company of which John E. Hurst was the founder, is too well known to Baltimore, 
 the Eastern States, and in fact, the entire country, to require description as to its accomplishment in the world of com- 
 merce. As a director in numerous other business, manufacturing and financial institutions of Baltimore and else- 
 where, Mr. Hurst was equally prominent as n substantial citizen. He was an fictiyi' trustee of Johns IToiikiiis llcisijital 
 and the National Exchange Bank; was a dirrcior .ii' ibr \I;ir,vl:iii(l rnul McicIkihi'^ .Inhs. a member of tli.' Ilikiid-,. ii^ox

 of its inmates porsonally. Shortly before bis death be ilouated twenty thousand doUars toward erecting the Hospital 
 of Uniteil Cliarities at Cambridge, and was the guest of honor at the laying of the cornerstone. In the affairs of the 
 company which l.ears his name, Mr. Hurst was not only head of the bouse, but took a personal interest in those in 
 his employ, and I be love of his employes was evidenced on the occasion of his seventy-first birthday, when they pre-

ALEXANDER C. U. WILSON. 
 
 Alexander C. R. Wilson wa.-;, during a long and unusually active career, numbered among the leading business men 
 of the city of Baltimore, not only as regards his ability as a business executive, but also in view of the fact that he 
 gave freely of the fruits of his 'success from both a material and personal standpoint, in the furtherance of the many 
 philanthropic and religious works to' which he was deeply devoted. 
 
 Born in the citv of Baltimore on October 7, 1847, he died in that city on January 14, 1910. He was a son of 
 the late Joseph and Sarah E. Wilson, and the son inherited from his father the combined characteristics of large ability 
 and a noble personalit,v. 
 
 Alexander C. R. Wilson received a common school education in the city of his birth, and engaged in the active 
 concerns of life at the very early age of fifteen years, as an employee of the firm of Hurst & Company, which company 
 was, even at that time, one of the largest wholesale dry goods concerns in the city of Baltimore. The business quarters 
 of Hurst & Company were at that time located at No. 241 West Baltimore Street, the members of the firm being John 
 E. and William R. Hurst, and (later) Littleton B. Purnell. From stock clerk, the young man was promoted to the 
 responsible position of buyer, and to his services in this capacity is largely due the present great proportions attained by 
 the notion department of the company, which now takes rank with similar departments as one of the largest of its 
 kind in the entire country. For eighteen years preceding his death Mr. Wilson was a member of the firm- doing busi- 
 ness under the style of John E. Hurst & Company. He was highly esteemed both by his business associates and ac- 
 quaintances for his masterly business ability, as well as for his personal characteristics — strict fidelity to every trust, 
 and nnimpcachalilc integrity. 
 
 Mr. Wils.in was a life-long member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In early manhood he came into the service 
 of the West Baltimore Station Methodist Church as recording steward. Later he became identified with the Grace 
 Methodist Kpiseopal Cliurch, which he served most usefully and faithfully as a member of the board of trustees, and 
 his connectieii therewitli continued during the remaining period of his life. 
 
 Mr. Wilson married, in IsT-l, I^aura E.. daughter of B. P. and Ellen C. Ray, of Baltimore City. To this union 
 ell. all of whom have grown to happy and vigorous man or womanhood. They are as follows:

 University in 1914. 
 
 Always active in local financial affairs since becoming- engaged 
 in business in Cumberland, Mr. Shepherd has also extended his 
 business activities to New York Cily and t liniughout the New 
 England States. He was presidnii oi llic Mutual Investment 
 Company and also agent of the L. .M. Sh. iilu-i-d Estate at Cum- 
 berland: was secretary and treasurer of Shepherd and Wanner, 
 505 Fifth Avenue, New York City, and successfully financed the

 One of the State's foremost ritizens. Thomas Herbert Shri- 
 ver, son of William and Maiy .M. .1. Sliriver, was born in 
 Union Mills, Maryland, on February 19, 1846, and died at his 
 home in Union Mills on December 31, 1916. 
 
 Educated in the local schools and under private tutors, he 
 was preparing for college at the outbreak of the Civil War. 
 On June 28, 1863 (in his seventeenth year), he enlisted in 
 the Confederate army and took part in many great battles. 
 After the battle of Gettysburg, he was detailed as a student 
 in the Virginia Military Institute, and then became a mem- 
 ber of the famous cadet corps which won undying glory in 
 the last year of the war. Years later, in 1882, he received 
 the diploma from the Institute conferred upon all who had par- 
 ticipated in the battle of New Market. 
 
 Returned home, he took up commercial and business life ; 
 was a traveling salesman, a farmer, and a miller and banker, 
 being successful in every undertaking. The B. F. Shriver 
 Company, of Carroll County, canners of fruits and vegetables, is 
 among the largest concerns of its kind in Maryland and the 
 United States, and owes in great measure its success to his 
 direction. 
 
 Mr. Shriver married, in 1880, Miss Elizabeth R. Lawson, 
 of Baltimore. 
 
 Politically, Mr. Shriver was a life-long democrat. In 1908, 
 ue was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention ; in 
 1878-80, he served in the General Assembly, Lower House, and 
 in 1884, he was a member of the State Senate. In 1888, he 
 became deputy collector of the Port of Baltimore, and prior to 
 his death he was frequently mentioned as Democratic nominee 
 for Governor of Maryland. 
 
 'He was a devoted friend of Cardinal Gibbons, Primate of the 
 Catholic Church In America — who spent weeks at a time with 
 him in his country home at Union Mills. At his death in his 
 seventy-first year, Mr. Shriver was survived bv his four chil- 
 dren ; Hilda, Joseph N., Robert T., and Willi.-im II. Shriver. 
 His death was mourned by friends and admirers williout num- 
 ber, whose esteem he had won by his sjiU-ndid relations with 
 every one with whom he came in contact.

THE BALTIMORE DRY DOCKS & SHIP BUILDING CO. 
 
 From the beginning of the war between Germany and the allied nations, the latter became more and 
 more dependent upon American resources for munitions, articles of military necessity, and food, as the 
 ravages of the submarines against allied and neutral vessels reduced the amount of ships available for 
 the vastly increased overseas commerce of the United States. American ocean-going ships were but 
 few, and the American shipyards became engaged in building for both American and foreign account. 
 The United States entered the war, and thus created such an enormous demand for additional ships 
 that the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation was organized to remedy the short- 
 age of ships which threatened the safety of the country. New shipyards were built, and every possible 
 method was used to carry out the most ambitious programme in the history of shipbuilding. This was 
 done not only to meet the existing military needs, but also that the United States might retain in time of 
 peace the enormous foreign trade obtained by the abnormal conditions, and this shipbuilding continues, 
 with the view of creating an American Merchant Marine worthy of the country's industrial, commercial 
 and financial greatness and to insure the precedence of the Flag on the Seven Seas. 
 
 Of the great shipbuilding organizations taking a leading part in the furtherance of this object, one of 
 the largest and most efficient is that of the Baltimore Dry Docks and Ship Building Company, which has 
 the advantage of location and the benefit of able and experienced management. There was in Baltimore 
 a large ship building enterprise known as the Skinner Ship Building & Dry Dock Company, of which, in 
 1914, Mr. Holden A. Evans became vice-president and general manager. It was absorbed in 1916 by a 
 new organization, the Baltimore Dry Docks & Ship Building Company, of which Mr. Evans became presi- 
 dent, and which was doing a large and increasing business when called upon by the Shipping Board, 
 Emergency Fleet Corporation, to further expand its capacity. It was necessary to create a large mod- 
 ern plant to carry out the Government contracts, and this was done during the latter part of 1917 and the 
 early part of 1918. The new plant is a permanent improvement, and, a tribute to Baltimore's prominence 
 in this industry, and is known as the South Plant of the Baltimore Dry Dock & Ship Building Company. 
 It is one of the most modern and complete ship building plants in the country and occupies an area of 
 36.5 acres. There are two other plants, one of which, the Lower Plant, is separated from the South 
 Plant by Fort Avenue, and is a well established ship building and repair plant, comprising 13.5 acres. 
 The Upper Plant, a mile farther up the harbor, comprises 9.6 acres and has facilities for handling re- 
 pairs to ships with unusual dispatch. 
 
 The great South Plant contains four massive concrete building ships, two of which are 70 by 500 feet 
 and two 60 by 500 feet in size. Their capacity is eight 10,300 ton ships per year, but vessels up to 12,- 
 500 tons deadweight may be constructed upon them. The ships were constructed with a view to future 
 extension, so that ships up to 15,000 tons dead weight could be built upon them without strengthening 
 the present structure. The slips rest on 3,000 concrete piles, and each pile is capable of bearing safely 
 a load of 27 tons. 
 
 The South Plant also includes a large layout shop, fabricating shop, and assembly shop, 260 by 480 
 feet; the material used in the various shops being handled by electric and locomotive cranes. There are 
 at the plant a three-story office building, storehouse, heating plant, boiler shop (110 feet by 360 feet), 
 outfitting shops (70 feet by 400 feet), and pier 1,100 feet long, equipped with modern electric cranes. 
 The joiner, carpenter and outfitting shops are on this pier, and together with the crane facilities, insure 
 the fitting out of ships in minimum time after launching. At the end of this pier is a giant derrick, 
 capable, at a 60-foot radius, of lifting 85 tons, used in placing the boilers and engines in the hulls of 
 vessels. As this plant is operated by individual motor-driven machinery, requiring 4,500 kilowatts, and 
 as the material handled by cranes is almost entirely of steel, all wiring is underground. There are in 
 the plant approximately fifteen miles of duct lines and many miles of water, air, oil, heating, and sewer 
 lines. 
 
 The completeness of the plant, its great capacity, its modern and comprehensive equipment, repre- 
 sentative of the best ideas of efficiency in the handling of materials and all the operations of ship build- 
 ing, reveal an almost unbelievable mastery in achievement. The work of a few months intensive opera- 
 tion, it constitutes one of the most valuable permanent contributions to the ship building resources of 
 the country. j 
 
 The Lower Plant, close to the South Plant, has two building slips on which ships up to 340 feet in 
 length may be constructed, these slips being served by two elevated 15-ton locomotive cranes on 
 one runway, one shear leg, capable of lifting 100 tons, and six regular locomotive cranes. There is also 
 a complete plant equipment necessary to serve the dry dock and care for repairs to merchant vessels. 
 The dry dock is 437 feet long and is at all times in readiness for vessels requiring repairs. 
 
 One of the distinctive features of the third, or Upper Plant, is its 610-foot dry dock, which, because 
 of its size, is able to accommodate the largest ship entering Baltimore harbor. There are also two ma- 
 rine railways upon which smaller vessels may be hauled out for repairs, and a building slip on which 
 ships up to 200 feet in length may be constructed. ( 
 
 During the war five mine sweepers were constructed here for the United States Navy. 
 
 The South and Lower Plants were prominent factors in carrying out the program of the United States 
 Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation for the rapid building of vessels adapted first to war-win- 
 ning purposes and afterwards to the creation of a Merchant Marine to accommodate the greatly increased 
 foreign commerce. 
 
 During 1918 the Baltimore Dry Docks & Ship Building Company built eight 6,200-ton ships and two 
 8,800-ton vessels for the Emergency Fleet Corporation and two mine sweepers of 700 gross tons each 
 for the Navy. The 6,200-ton vessels, five of which were equipped as refrigerators, were all constructed at 
 the Lower Plant, the 8,800-ton ships at the South Plant and the mine sweepers at the Upper Plant. 
 
 During the period from January 1, 1918, to date (August 1st, 1920), twenty-nine vessels have been 
 launched from the three plants. Twenty-two of these have been delivered to and accepted by the Emer- 
 gency F'leet Corporation and five have been accepted by the Navy Department. 
 
 The company is now building 6,000-ton oil tankers at the Lower Plant and 10,300-ton oil tankers at 
 the South Plant for the Emergency Fleet Corporation.

 W. p. ROBERTS, GENERAL MANAGER 
 
 The plant of the Bethlehem Steel Co.. at Sparrows Point, 
 Md., is the largest size tidewater steel plant in this coun- 
 try. It is so situated that it can receive at its own piers and 
 docks all the iron ore needed for its operation from its own 
 mines in Cuba and Chile. A certain percentage of ore from 
 Sweden and Spain is also received when transportation con- 
 ditions are favorable, which is the case at present, due to 
 lack of other return cargoes from Europe. 
 
 Coal and other raw materials are delivered directly by 
 any one of the three railroads, and coal can also be deliv- 
 ered by barges from Newport News when required. 
 
 Both the ore and the coal are unloaded from the ships 
 and barges by electrically operated unloading bridges, the 
 ore unloaders having a capacity sufficient to unload one of 
 the 12,000 ton ore boats in ten hours. This ore is at pres- 
 ent being delivered from Cuba in the Company's fleet of 
 five 11,000 ton steel ore steamers, this fleet to be increased 
 next year by the addition of two 20,000 ton ore steamers, 
 which are now under construction at the Sparrows Point 
 Shipyard. These two steamers will be the largest of this type of ocean boats afloat. It is intended 
 to increase this to a fleet of ten 20,000 ton vessels within the next few years. The Company has a pri- 
 vate thirty-five foot channel a mile long leading from the main Baltimore channel. The ore storage 
 yards have a capacity for storing 1,000,000 tons of ore, and each unloader has a capacity for picking up 
 seventeen tons of ore in one of its grab buckets. 
 
 At the coal unloading and handling plant, there is a storage capacity of 300,000 tons of coal. The 
 coal is received either by rail or by water, from the company's mines in Pennsylvania and West Vir- 
 ginia, and also on long-term contracts with other large coal producing companies. 
 
 This coal is charged into coke ovens by means of belt conveyors. The coke oven plant consists of 
 360 ovens with a daily consumption of 6,000 tons of coal. The daily by-products from these coke ovens 
 consists, when operated at full capacity, of 25,000.000 cubic feet of excess gas, which is pumped to the 
 city of Baltimore and is practically sufficient to take care of the city's needs; also 44,000 gallons of tar; 
 12,000 gallons of motor benzol fuel; and 150,000 pounds of ammonia sulphate, used principally for the 
 manufacture of fertilizer. 
 
 The blast furnace department consists of six blast furnaces with a total daily capacity of 2,600 tons 
 of pig iron. Two more 500 ton furnaces will be built next year. This complete plant will then produce 
 3,600 tons of iron, and will consume 6,500 tons of iron ore, 2,000 tons of limestone and 4,000 tons of 
 coke. The compressed air for blowing these furnaces is furnished by gas-driven blowing engines, using 
 the by-product gas from the blast furnaces themselves for power. These engines are of 2,000 horse 
 power each. This blast furnace gas is also used for operating gas engine driven generators of 4,500 
 horse power each, furnishing electric power throughout the plant. Five of these units are now in opera- 
 tion. Additional power is also being supplied by the Consolidated Gas, Electric Light &. Power Com. 
 pany from their hydro-electric station. On the total electrical system, there are 2,169 motors repre- 
 senting 117,850 horse power. 
 
 The moulten iron from the blast furnaces is either sent to the casting machine for casting into pigs, 
 or direct in the molten condition to the Bessemer and Open Hearth plants. In these steel making plants

are four converters of 25 tons capacity each and four of 15 tons capacity each; also five 60 ton tilting 
 furnaces and four 200-ton tilting open hearth furnaces. These steel making plants have a total capacity 
 of 1,250,000 tons of ingots annually. The furnaces are equipped to use producer gas, oil or tar, as condi- 
 tions may require. 
 
 The hot steel ingots from the steel making plants are transferred either to the 36" Blooming Mill 
 (which serves the Rail Mill), or to the new 40" Blooming Mill. The Rail Mill has a capacity of 35,000 
 tons of rails per month, rolling rail sections up to 150 pounds per yard, and is equipped to harden rails by 
 the so-called Sorbitic process. The new 40" Blooming Mill has a capacity of 60,000 tons per month and 
 furnishes slabs to the Plate Mills, or blooms to the Continuous Mills which roll billets and sheet bar. 
 All of these mills are electrically operated, the 40" Mill being driven by a 5,000 H. P. motor. The sheet 
 bar and billets are either sold to outside customers, or transferred to other finishing mills of the Com- 
 pany. 
 
 There are two Plate Mills in operation, the 110" Plate Mill and the 60" Universal Plate Mill, the lat- 
 ter which is the largest two-high plate mill in the country, is driven by a 17,500 H. P. motor. The weight 
 of this mill alone, without its au.xiliaries. Is 966 tons. These Plate Mills are electrically driven 
 throughout" and have a combined capacity of 35,000 tons of plates per month. 
 
 The sheet bar from the Continuous Mill is sent to the Sheet and Tin Plate Department of the 
 Company. There are in operation 24 Tin Plate Mills, producing 9.200 tons of tin plate per month, and 
 employing over 2,000 people. Immediately adjacent to this Tin Plate Mill is the new Sheet Mill ex- 
 tension, consisting of eight sheet mills and two jobbing mills, producing about 8,000 tons of sheets 
 per month. 
 
 These mills, like all the other additions made to the plant during the last few years, are entirely 
 electrically driven. In general all new building construction consists of steel, brick and concrete, in- 
 cluding steel sashes and concrete roofs, no wood whatever being used in any of these new departments. 
 Each of these new departments are the very latest and most economical type. 
 
 William Frank Roberts, General Manager of this plant, was born in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, 
 on January 25, 1879. He was educated at Lehigh University, there receiving the degree of Mechan- 
 ical Engineer. 
 
 Mr. Roberts started with the Bethlehem Steel Company in June, 1902. He became Master Me- 
 chanic in two years, and was successively Assistant General Superintendent, General Superintendent 
 and Vice-President, until assuming the position of General Manager of the Maryland Plant, Bethlehem 
 Steel Company. 
 
 He is a member of the Maryland, Baltimore Country and the American Flying Clubs of Baltimore, 
 also the Bethlehem Club, and the American Institute of Mining Engineers. 
 
 Mr. Roberts married, in September. 1904. He has three daughters. His residence is at 21 Somer- 
 set road, Roland Park, Baltimore.

 (Continued) 
 
 Situated on the Chesapeake Bay, about eight miles 
 from Baltimore. Md., the Sparrow's Point Plant of the 
 Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Ltd., occupies 
 an unsurpassed water front and includes an area of 
 109 acres and has S.OOO employees. A full 35 ft. chan- 
 nel permits the building of the largest merchant ves- 
 sels and floating docks. 
 
 The plant was established in 1890 as the Marine 
 Department of the Maryland Steel Company, at that 
 time a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Steel Com- 
 pany. In July, 1916. the plant was acquired by the 
 Bethlehem Steel Company 
 and operated under ' the 
 name of the Maryland 
 Plant of the Bethlehem 
 Steel Company until the 
 time of the incorporation 
 of the Bethlehem Ship- 
 building Corporation, Ltd., 
 in November, 1917, when 
 the plant became the 
 Sparrow's Point Plant of 
 the big shipbuilding cor- 
 poration. An uninterrupt- 
 ed production of high- 
 grade steel merchant 
 ships has been carried on 
 at this shipyard and over 
 200 sea-going vessels have 
 been delivered. 
 
 The plant has nine large 
 building slips, which are 
 modern in every respect. 
 Vessels of over 20,000 tons 
 deadweight may be con- 
 structed and the equip- 
 ment is such that vessels 
 may be built complete with all appurtenances. 
 
 The machine shop, which was built in 191.5, is one 
 of the best equipped and up-to-date industrial build- 
 ings in the country, in which can be manufactured 
 marine reciprocating engines. This shop is also 
 particularly equipped for handling repair work. 
 
 The boiler shop is of large capacity and is devoted 
 entirely to the construction of Scotch Boilers. 
 
 A large blacksmith shop, equipped with modern 
 
 M^' 
 
 
 ^^n 
 
 machinery, including a 500 ton press, enables this 
 yard to do much work usually contracted for outside 
 of the shipyards. Drop forgings of ship fittings are 
 a specialty of this shop. 
 
 The fabricating shop is also unusually well 
 equipped, which accounts for the large tonnage 
 turned out by the yard. 
 
 During the year 1919 a large floating dry dock, 600 
 ft. in length and 100 ft. wide, with 20,000 tons lift- 
 ing capacity, was placed in operation. This is one 
 of the largest floating docks on the Atlantic Coast 
 and enables the Spar- 
 row's Point Plant to do 
 extensive repairs. In the 
 ^ fall of 1920 a second float- 
 
 ing dry dock of 6,000 
 tons capacity will also 
 be in operation, which 
 will further enhance 
 the repair facilities 
 of this up-to-date 
 plant. 
 
 A 125 ton shear legs 
 and a 25 ton hammerhead 
 crane also greatly facili- 
 tate fitting out, as well as 
 engine and boiler repair 
 work. 
 
 It was at this yard that 
 the floating dry dock 
 "Dewey" was built and the 
 memorable trip of the 
 dock to the Philippine 
 Islands demonstrated most 
 conclusively the thorough- 
 ness of the builders' work. 
 Although large merchant work has been the prin- 
 ciple undertaking of this plant. Government contracts 
 have also been successfully completed and a num- 
 ber of torpedo boat destroyers and giant colliers 
 have been built and delivered to the Government at 
 various periods. 
 
 At present there are under construction two large 
 combination ore and oil vessels, this type of vessel 
 being a new undertaking in the shipbuillding trade.

THE BLUE BELL IN MARYLAND. 
 
 City, or State, or entire country — the progress, expansion and commercial and industrial activity 
 of a people depends largely on the perfection of those enterprises which have come to be known as 
 public utilities. Their weakness vitiates — their strength provides a driving energy that means growth 
 and success. Of the first magnitude in the list of public utilities is the telephone. 
 
 From the standpoint of both service and facilities, Maryland enjoys excellent telephone advan- 
 tages. The lines of the Chesapeake and Potomac Company, an associate of the Bell System, form 
 a network over the entire state, a territory of 9,941 square miles. Approximately 130,000 telephones 
 in Maryland supply the requirements of a population of 1,385,000, an average of one telephone for 
 every 10 persons. 
 
 This average is well maintained throughout all parts of the State. In Baltimore, there are 
 82,455 telephones serving a population of 734,000 or one telephone for every 9 people. 
 
 This Company's property in Maryland represents an investment of more than $17,000,000. 
 One hundred and thirty-two central offices, more than 249 miles of underground conduit cable 
 lines, and wires and cables that would reach 280,356 miles are some of the plant items that make 
 up the telephone system. 
 
 This plant carries a volume of 600,000 telephone calls every day. Thirty-one hundred men and 
 women, employees of this Company, keep the lines of communication open and handle the traffic. 
 Day and night, every hour in the twenty-four, the central offices are open. 
 
 In the city of Baltimore alone, 400,000 telephone calls are placed every day. Fourteen central 
 offices handle the city's traffic and a force of 1300 operators is required. 
 
 St. Paul exchange, the busiest central office in Maryland, is located in the downtown section 
 of Baltimore. Three hundred operators handle the 105,000 calls which pass through this exchange 
 daily. During the rush business hours, which are from 9 A. M. till noon, as many as 14,000 calls 
 are handled in an hour at the St. Paul office. 
 
 Rates for telephone service compare very favorably with those in effect in any other district 
 comparable in Maryland. 
 
 In some sections, extraordinary difficulties have handicapped the Company in its work of sup- 
 plying and extending telephone service. 
 
 Reserve plant equipment and facilities, which are ordinarily maintained far in advance of 
 existing needs were completely exhausted during the war. Two causes were responsible. Govern- 
 ment needs made it impossible to secure new materials and an abnormal demand for telephone service 
 used up the plant reserves. 
 
 The end of the war found the Telephone Company facing a veritable avalanche of service 
 demands with forces sadly depleted, with stock and plant reserve^ exhausted, with wages and mate- 
 rial prices out of all proportion, and with it impossible to secure necessary new equipment from 
 manufacturers even at the high prices. Strikes, labor troubles, railroad embargoes and manufactur- 
 ing difficulties made it, and are still making it impossible to secure the equipment we need today. 
 
 In the face of these obstacles the lines were kept open. There were times when it required 
 superhuman efforts to keep the telephone service from collapsing under the pressure of adverse 
 circumstances. Such did not happen, and the same energies are now being devoted to the task of 
 improving the service. In spite of all difficulties, the telephone service has been maintained at a 
 high degree of efficiency. 
 
 We of the Telephone Company take pride in the work we perform and in the importance and 
 value of the service we render. We feel that it is a little different from many other human 
 activities. So many people and so many enterprises are affected and are dependent upon the service 
 of the telephone. 
 
 And we feel that we can take pride in the high standard of service we have been able to 
 maintain.

 ing $1,000 down and giving a mortgage for $2,000. On 
 this farm was 100 old peach trees in a pasture twenty 
 ^ears old of the Smock variety. 
 
 The Senior Harrison. Joseph G. Harrison, with his 
 two sons, Orlando and George A. Harrison, being one 
 among the first strawberry growers in Sussex county, 
 Delaware, and lovers of fruits, had budded and grafted 
 trees for years — being desirous of continuing the fruit 
 business, harvested the peaches from the neglected trees 
 netting $262.00, enough to pay the fertilizer bill for the 
 wheat crop. 
 
 Among the trees were two large late yellow peaches, 
 
 name unknown to the neighbors. In order to retain the 
 
 valuable peaches, it was decided to plant a few peach 
 
 seeds and bud them. This was done and the two sons, 
 
 Orlando and George A. Harrison, did the tying of the 
 
 buds, the budding being done by a local expert budder. 
 
 This beginning was the planting of 2,500 peach trees.

 The orchards have produced fruit that h, 
 
 carrier above market quotations on Boston and New York markets. The present season, the peaches were distributed to 
 all of the principal markets of the East, many of them going to Baltimore, Washington, Wilmington, Philadelphia, New 
 York, Boston, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and many small places. 
 
 Shipments were as follows: 1910, 10 cars; 1911, crop failure from "brown rot"; 1912, 30 cars; 1913, 62 cars; 
 1914, 50 cars; 1915, 52 cars; 1916, 60 cars; 1917, 101 cars; 1918, 50 cars; 1919, 146 cars, and several thousand bush- 
 els to canning houses. All cars were handled by refrigerator cars, averaging 300 bushels for express cars and 400 bush- 
 els for freight. 
 
 Crop failure in 1911 was due to "brown rot" and not knowing how to control same. Since 1912, they have con- 
 trolled "brown rot" with self-boiled lime sulphur, 8 lbs. lime, 8 lbs. sulphur and 2 lbs. Arsenate of Lead with 'four to five 
 summer sprayings. 
 
 They experimented with dust this season, 1919, and find the liquid is preferable, yet the dust has many advantages 
 on wet land where heavy power sprayers cannot be pulled over during a wet period. 
 
 All orchards are sprayed during the winter with concentrated lime-sulphur to prevent "leaf-curl." They do not find 
 any trace of scale, nor any trace of yellows. They consider the peach borer the greatest nuisance, but can be success- 
 fully controlled. The orchards are gone over twice each season for "borers" and dirt banked at the trunk, about six 
 inches during the fall and left during the winter months, taking it. away early spring with the extension cultivator as shown 
 in illustration. 
 
 Clean cultivation is practiced from March till the last of July when cow peas, or soy beans, are sown for a cover 
 crop. When the orchards are young, the hay is mowed. When trees are older, the vines are left for cover and feed 
 for trees. They use raw bone meal, or dissolved bone when planting, 1 lb. per tree well-mixed with the soil, and from 
 3 to 5 lbs. per tree when they are 5 years old or more. Nitrate of soda is a good stimulant for weak-growing trees. One 
 pound per tree for five years old and 3 to 5 lbs. per tree seven years old or over. 
 
 Over 100 mules are used on the farms for cultivation and feed is grown for them. Several tractors used for pulling 
 large disks, several makes of trucks used on the improved concrete and macadam roads for hauling peaches from orchards 
 to packing sheds, a distance of from one to five miles to a center packing house on the railroad at Berlin. 
 
 Today they own over 5,000 acres of land around Berlin, Md., and over 3,000 acres of land is under intense cultivatii 
 In orchards and nurseries growing potatoes, tomatoes, corn as inner crops, 
 
 In 1901, Orlando Harrison met with E. P. Cohill at Baltimore. Md. They looked 
 and selected land for the Tonoloway Orchard Company, selected varieties of apple tree 
 ful large apple orchard in the East now owned by the American Fruit Co. 
 
 In 1906 and 1907, they with O'Neal Brothers and other business men of Keyser, W. Va.. selected land and planted 
 about 400 acres of apple orchard, principally Grimes' Golden, Jonathan, York Imperial, Stayman's, Rome Beauty, Baldwins, 
 Winesap, Ben Davis and Gano, now producing good crops. 
 
 In 1905 and 1906, Orlando Harrison with Wilbur H. T'^omas purchased 82 acres of land near Martinsburg, W. Va., 
 and planted it to apples. Organizing the Grimes' Golden Orchard Company. This has produced six successive crops 
 without a single miss consisting of Grimes' Golden, York Imperial, Gano, Ben Davis, Winesap and probably has netted more 
 profit per acre than any orchard in West Virginia. 
 
 In 1910, the Elberta Fruit Farm was incorporated by Orlando Harrison, A. W. Sisk, Frisby Smith and others and 
 350 acres of peach and apple planted near Hancock. Md. Orchard now producing good crops. 
 
 In 1911, Orlando Harrison, with John G. Townsend, now Governor of Delaware, selected and planted several farms in 
 Sussex county, Delaware, to early and late apples, principally Yellow Transparent, William's Early Red and Stayman's 
 Winesap and York Imperial, all of which are now in fruiting, most of which were sold to Philadelphia capital before the 
 advance in orchard values. 
 
 In 1910, Orlando Harrison, O. W. Hubbard, Emerson C. Harrington, now Governor of Maryland, planted 350 acres of 
 peach, 17,000 apple trees, 3.000 sour cherry trees in Dorchester county. Peaches were Carman, Hiley, Ray, Belle of Ga., 
 Elberta. Peaches have produced four crops. Apples planted were Yellow Transparent, Williams', Jonathon, Gano, Stay- 
 mans. Cherries. Earlv Richmond and Montmorencv which have given three crops. 
 
 In 1911, the Mulberry Hill Orchard Company was organized, land selected by Orlando Harrison, General Joseph B. 
 Seth, Edwin G. Cover, Mason Shehan and other business men of Easton, Md., when about 400 acres of orchard was 
 planted on three different farms, consisting principally of Elberta, Rav, Belle of Ga. peach. Principal apples planted were

 In 1913 the Stayman's Winesap (at Berlin, Md.) Orchard Company was organized by George Hale Harrison, and oth- 
 ers and planted 10,000 Stayman's Winesap apple trees, now in a flourisliing condition. 
 
 The Harrisons have about 40,000 apple trees, planted in orchards near Berlin in addition to their peach orchards. 
 
 Orlando Harrison, senior member of the Harrisons' Nur-series, is 52 years of age, has four sons, G. Hale Harrison, 25; 
 Henry L. Harrison, 23; Orlando Harrison, Jr., 17 and John L. Harrison, 16. All are owners of fruit farms. The two 
 younger sons are still in school, but spend their summer months in their orchards at Berlin with their parents. 
 
 The Harrisons are visited by thousands of the best fruit growers in the United States each year and have had wide 
 experiences in selecting soil and location for orchards and have visited many of the largest and most successful orchards in 
 this country. Every member of the family is interested in fruit growing.

RIVERVIEW PARK, WILLIAM J. FITZSIMMONS, MANAGER. 
 
 Riverview Park, with its many new improve- 
 ments, gives to Baltimoreans a summer resort which 
 compares favorably with any amusement resort in 
 the East. The management maintains a large con- 
 cert band which is a source of delight to the mu- 
 sic-loving population of the city, in addition to 
 the many amusements pro- 
 vided for old and young. 
 
 The management of River- 
 view Park was taken over 
 some twenty-five years ago 
 by Michael J. Fitzsimmons, 
 father of the present mana- 
 ger, and was developed by 
 the former from a small 
 park, boasting of nothing in 
 the way of amusements with 
 the exception of a "merry- 
 go-round" and a dining- 
 room, to one of the leading 
 amusement parks in the 
 country. 
 
 Bay Shore Park, which is 
 also operated by Mr. Wil- 
 liam J. Fitzsimmons, is WILLIAM J.

MT. ST. MARY'S COLLEGE 
 
 The second oldest among- the 
 Catholic collegiate institutions in 
 the United States, is located near 
 Emmitsburg-, Maryland, within 
 the limits of the Archdiocese of 
 Baltimore, Its situation on high 
 ground at the foot of the Mary- 
 land rang-e of the Blue Ridge 
 Mountains is remarkable for 
 beauty and healthfulness while it 
 affords ample opportunity for 
 physical exercise. Mount St. 
 Mary's Theologrical Seminary has 
 been maintained in connection 
 with the college since the foun- 
 dation of the latter. The insti- 
 tution is directed by an associa- 
 tion of secular clergymen who. 
 with several lay professors, com- 
 pose its faculty. Its material in- 
 terests are controlled by a board 
 of directors of which the Arch- 
 bishop of Baltimore is, ex-offlcio, 
 the president. For the academic 
 year, 1919-20, the teaching- corps 
 includes sixteen iDrofessors, be- 
 sides assistant instructors in the 
 various branches, with 47S stu- 
 dents in the college and 90 in the 
 seminary. Instruction is given 
 in six departments: collegiate 
 academic, commercial, scientific 
 pre-medical and modern lan- 
 guages. The degrees conferred ai e 
 those of bachelor of arts, mastei 
 of arts and bachelor of science 
 
 Mount St. Mary's College was founded in 1808 when the preparatory seminary established by the Sul- 
 picians at Pigeon Hill, Pa., was tiansf erred to Emmitsburg. Eight students formed the nucleus from which 
 the college developed. Its first president was Rev. John Dubois, who had been labouring for some years 
 in the neighbouring missions and had built a brick church on the slope above the present site of the col- 
 lege. He had been led to secure this site by Father (afterwards Bishop) Dubourg, who directed Mother 
 Seton also to Emmitsburg for the establishment of St. .Iosr-,ih's .\rartemy. Father Dubois had as his 
 assistant Father Brute, who was consecrated first Bishop of \-inr,.nii, s in 1,834. Father Dubois himself be- 
 came in 1826 Bishop of New York and was succeeded in tlu in . .-jhI. ip \- by Rev. Michael de Burgo Egan 
 (1826-28), Rev J. F. McGerry (1828-29), and Rev. John B. Pun-. 11 ( 1 \:;ii-:!.-!), later Archbishop of Cincinnati, 
 in .January. ISoO, Father Purcell obtained from the General Assembly of Maryland a charter of incorpora- 
 tion for the college. This document prohibited the requiring of any religious test from students or profes- 
 sm-s, and limited the tenure of land to 1,000 acres and the total value of the college property of $25,000; all 
 ^i 1 oi'^revnues in excess of this amount, after the payment of necessary debts were to be held for the use 
 ?* ''■"^ .State or Maryland. After the brief (five months) incumbency of Rev. F. Jamison during the latter 
 halt of 183,1. Rev. Thomas R. Butler was chosen president (1834-38). During his administration, a new 
 charter, still in force, was granted on 4 April, 1836, wherein the college authorities are empowered to con- 
 fer all colleg^iate honours and degrees except that of doctor of medicine. Father Butler's successor was 
 Kev. John J McCaffrey, a man of great energy and zeal, whose long term as president (1838-72) was marked 
 on one hand by the growth and prosperity of the college, on the other by reverses that threatened its very

 Drner-stone of Brute Hall, for which $12,000 had been appropriated, was laid on 2 May, 1S43, and, in 1852, 
 
 the foundation of McCaffrey Hall. On 25 June. 1857, Archbishop Purcell laid the corner-stone of the 
 church which was to replace the structure on the hill. In 1858 the college celebrated its semi-centennial 
 with appropriate exercises in which many distinguished alumni took part. The "Mountain" already counted 
 among its graduates such men as John Hughes, later Archbishop of New York; William Quarter, first 
 Bishop ot Chicago; John McCloskey, afterwards Archbishop of New Y'ork and Cardinal; William Henry 
 Elder, Archbishop of Cincinnati; William George McCloskev, president of the American College, Rome, and 
 later Bishop of Louisville; Francis S. Chatard, president of the American College, Rome, and later Bishop 
 °I. tY,'"'^'""''^' Michael Augustine Corrigan, later Archbishop of New York : Richard N. Whelan, first Bishop 
 of Wlieehng; Francis X. Gartland, first Bishop of Savannah; Francis P. McFarland, third Bishop of Hartford. 
 
 Within three years after the celebration of its golden lubilee, the college was confronted by difficulties 
 due to the outbreak of the war between the States. Though both North and South had strong partisans in 
 the faculty as well as in the student body, the college as a whole remained neutral. But shortly after the 
 beginning of hostilities, an exodus of students representing each section took place in such numbers that 
 only seven were left for the graduating class of 1863, and only two for that of 1864. Moreover as par- 
 ents were unable to meet tuition fees and other expenses of the pupils whom the college maintained dur- 
 ing the four years of war, the financial standing of the institution was seriously cnrnDromised, and as a 
 result the college at the end of the conflict was overwhelmed with debt. In .liiii.-, IXTL', Dr. J. J. McCaf- 
 frey, in consequence of failing health, withdrew from the presidency after thirl \-Imiii vears of arduous 
 and devoted service. Father John McCloskey was elected to the office with Rev. hi s. AloCurdie, as vice- 
 president. Under their administration, the student body varied from 130-165. In 1x77 Rev. John A. Watter- 
 son became president and retained the oflice until his promotion to the See of Columbus (18S0). He intro- 
 duced a thorough system of retrenchment in all departments; but the bulk of the debt remained. After 
 his departure. Father John McCloskey once more took up the burden of the presidency, but only for a short 
 time, as he died towards the close of 1880. In January, 1881, Rev. Wm. J. Hill, of Brooklyn, came to the 
 college and |.. titi u lo have a receiver appointed. The appointee was James McSherry, later Chief Jus- 
 tice of the c.iinl ..I .\|)peals of Maryland. He turned over the affairs ot the institution, in June, 1881, to 
 Very Rev. \\ m. .\l. I;,\i-ne, Vicar-General of Boston, whose firmness, prudence, and wise economy restored 
 prosperity to the college. His policy was continued by Rev. Edward P. Allen, who held office from 1884 
 until he became Bishop of Mobile in 1897. During his administration, McCaffrey Hall was completed (1894); 
 and under his successor, Rev. Wm. L. O'Hara (1897-1905), Dubois Hall was completed, improvements were 
 continued to accommodate the increasing number of students 
 
 The presidency of his successor, Very Rev. Dennis J. Flvnn (1905-1911), has been marked by the cele- 
 bration, in October, 1908, of the centenary of the college. This occasion brought to the "Mountain" a large 
 number of men prominent in ecclesiastical, professional, and public life who claim the college as their Alma 
 Mater. It may indeed be said that the highest tribute to the college and the best proof of its efficiency is 
 found m the careers of those whom it educated. Its service to the Church is shown by the fact that 
 among its officers and graduates at least twenty-five archbishops — hence its well deserved title, "Mother 
 of Bishops." But It has also given to the State and to every department of useful citizenship a large 
 number of men distinguished by ability and integrity. Among the causes which explain this success, the 
 most important is doubtless the united work ot clerg-y and laity in building up the college, controlling its 
 discipline, and conducting its courses. Scarcely less efficacious have been the relations between clerical 
 and lay students which, continued beyond the years at college, have resulted in hearty co-operation for 
 the highest civic, moral and religious purposes, and have bound all the alumni in loyal devotion to the ven- 
 erable institution which gave them their early training. This harmonious spirit found its latest expres- 
 sion at the dedication of the new college church, on 12 Oct, 1910, which called together former graduates, 
 both lay and clerical, from all parts of the United States 
 
 The present head ot "The Mountain" is Rt. Rev. Monsi'gnor O. J. Bradley, under whose direction the in- 
 stitution has shown most remarkable progress. To the already stately group of buildings he has added the 
 magnificent College church and the modern. Minim Hall, now" nearin'g completion. This year (1920-21) 
 
 marks the highest point of greatness touched as yet by this venerable Catholic college. Filled to ca- 
 pacity and sustaining a waiting list of great numbers anxious to sit at her feet and learn the lessons 
 that go to make men truly great, she finds that many more buildin!=-s will be required to house and pro- 
 vide instructive space for this ever-increasing line of "Mountaineers.""

 ST. MARY'S INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL 
 
 for boys of the City of Baltimore was incorporated in ISljO. Tlie aim of tlie institution is to care for liomeless and 
 wayward boys, and to fit them for good citizenship. 
 
 SINCE ITS INCORPORATION St. Mary's has eared for more than 14.000 boys, with an average population of 
 750. These boys are committed by the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore, and by parents as boarders. 
 These boarders come from more than thirty states. Boys are received between the ages of 8 and 21. Boarders are 
 reqnlred to pay from |1.5 to .$2.5 per month. 
 
 The boys are divided into nine distinct classes, according to age and size. 
 
 A FULL COURSE IN CLASS WORK, Inclludlng all the grammar grades, and commercial work is given, and in- 
 structions in various trades : teaching boys how to work, is one of the features of the School. 
 
 REGULAR MILITARY DRILL, including target practice, is given and the true spirit of patriotism Is fostered. 
 More than 4,000 boys of the School have enlisted voluntarily in the United States Marine, Navy and other branches of 
 the service, since the war started in Europe. Many of these bo.vs, because of their knowledge of music, have become 
 most useful in the bands of the Navy, and other departments. One of the creditable features of this work is the fact 
 that the recruiting officers of the Navy and the Marines have reported that 95 per cent of the boys who have applied 
 for service have passed successfully. 
 
 As a proof that athletics are not side-tracked, "Babe" Ruth, of the New Yoi-k Americans, is an evidence. 
 
 During the first year after the tire more than 1.000 boys wore refused tor lack of accommodation. 500 lioys are 
 being cared for in temporary (luarters.

 SAINT JOSEPH'S SEMINARY 
 
 Saint Joseph's Seminary, situated at Pennsylvania Avenue and Saint Mary Street, Baltimore, is the 
 headquarters of Saint Joseph's Society for Colored Missions. This organization was created out of the 
 Councils of the American Catholic Bishops of Baltimore, held after the Civil War, and it is the only 
 body of Catholic priests devoted exclusively to the vi'elfare of the Negroes in this country. 
 
 Saint Joseph's Seminary began with four students in the building known as the old Western Mary- 
 land Hotel, which stood on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Saint Mary Street. This building 
 is still in existence as an adjunct to the lai-ger structure erected a few years later. 
 
 In 1871 priests from the English Society of Saint Joseph came to America to work for the colored 
 people. They began their efforts at Saint Francis Xavier's Church on Calvert Street, Baltimore. It was 
 later decided to establish a distinctly American organization, the administration of which would be in 
 the hands of authorities on the field and the members of which would be trained close to the condi- 
 tions in which they would work. It was then that Saint Joseph's Seminary was opened. The present 
 building was erected in 1893. 
 
 Saint Joseph's Seminary has sent out ninety-five priests to work among the colored in various parts 
 of the South. 
 
 Saint Joseph's Society has foundations In thirteen States, including every Southern State but Geor- 
 gia and South Carolina. In Baltimore alone there are four churches, with the prospect of another, re- 
 sponsible to this Society. All told there are 43 colored parishes, with 20 missions attached, that owe 
 their origin to this Society. 
 
 An important part of the Society's policy is that which has to do with the establishing of colored 
 schools throughout the South. So far 51 schools have been opened for colored children. Last year these 
 schools had an enrollment of 8,239 children. An industrial school that is doing efficient work has been 
 in operation for many years at Clayton, Delaware. Within a few years it is hoped to do something sub- 
 stantial in the way of secondary education on a broad scale. As a preliminary four high schools have 
 already been opened in connection with parish schools. 
 
 Seventy-seven priests constitute the membership of Saint Joseph's Society. Saint Joseph's Seminary 
 has an average attendance of thirty students. The preparatory school of this institution is located at 
 Walbrook, Baltimore. It is known as Epiphany Apostolic College and has an average attendance of sixty 
 students. 
 
 Saint Joseph's Seminary is planning further a department of general information regarding the Ne- 
 gro, for the purpose of assisting Catholics to understand the Negro situation.

 ST. MARY'S SEMINARY. 
 
 The story of St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, like 
 the story of the Sulpician Fathers, is essentially a 
 story of peace and loyal work, and therefore, as the 
 world's history is the story of war and bloodshed, 
 historians have not found in the oldest seminary in 
 the United States a profitable and attracive theme. 
 But Catholic laymen and Catholic priests, who can 
 delve beneath the surface, will recognize the merits 
 of the followers of Jean Jacques Olier, founder of the 
 Society of St. Sulpice, and will conclude that the 
 Sulpician Fathers whose special vocation is to form 
 young men for the priesthood and not for secular 
 professions, and who have trained for a century and 
 a quarter upwards of 2,000 of the American clergy, 
 who have given through St. Mary's to the United States 
 a succession of holy and zealous Bishops and Arch- 
 bishops, and who have a devoted Alumnus of St. 
 Mary's and friend none other than His Eminence, 
 James Cardinal Gibbons, are indeed a living source of 
 countless blessings to the Archodiocese of Baltimore 
 and to the Church in the United States. 
 
 The Sulpicians of Baltimore have constructed a 
 branch Seminary opposite the Catholic University, 
 Washington, D. C. This branch provides accommo- 
 dations for the fourth year theologians, and for those 
 who early desire to study for degrees or to pursue 
 some extra course outside the regular Seminary cur- 
 riculum. The priest-alumni of the Seminary and the 
 members of the laity are helping the Sulpicians to 
 finance the half of a million dollar construction 
 work.

 ST. CHARLES COLLEGE. 
 
 St. Charles College, Catonsville, Maryland, was founded on 
 July 11, 1831 ; the ob.1ect of its founding being "the education 
 of pious young men of the Catholic persuasion for the ministry 
 of the Gospel." 
 
 The College is strictly ecclesiastical. It takes promising 
 boys, from the age of twelve, and no pains are spared to give 
 them a thorough and enlightened classical education. That its 
 mission is fulfllled is amply proven by the fact that among its 
 distinguished sons, St. Charles counts thirteen bishops, five 
 archbishops and a cardinal. 
 
 St. Charles College forms the classical department of St. 
 Mary's University and Theological Seminary of St. Sulpiee, 
 Baltimore. The six years' course gives young men an excep- 
 tionally thorough preparation for the study ..I' pliilosophy. The 
 students receive instructions in the vari.d l.raii<iii-s under the 
 supervision of an efficient and learned faculty, and ilu'ir physical 
 well being is advanced by ample opportunity to indulge in 
 athletics. 
 
 The Rev. Charles D. Hogue, S.S., Ph.D., is now president of 
 the College, and the faculty numbers 10 members.

ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL 
 
 ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL, Baltimore, is one 
 of the largest and most modern institutions of its 
 kind in the East, including, as it does, every device 
 and requirement necessary for the medical and 
 surgical treatment of its patients. 
 
 Commodious private rooms and wards, so situated 
 that the maximum light and pure air may enter, 
 are incorporated with various special wards and 
 rooms for the occupancy of patients requiring at- 
 tention. A notable feature is the children 's de- 
 partment, a large concrete structure located on the 
 Oliver street side of the building, which accom- 
 modates both pay and charity cases. It includes 
 two tloors of the latterly erected building, is well 
 lighted and ventilated, and to each floor is at- 
 tached a large concrete porch capable of accom. 
 modating if necessary all the children of each re- 
 spective floor. 
 
 St. Joseph 's Hospital is in charge of the Sisters 
 of the Third Order of St. Francis, and the physi- 
 cians and surgeons in attendance are among the 
 most noted in the medical profession.

 The founding of Morc.v Hospital, Baltimore, dates l)ack to the 
 city's earl.v historv, hut its records show that not even the 
 giant strides of Greater Baltimore have outdistanced the 
 progress made by this institution under the supervision of the 
 Sisters of Mercy, working in intelligent co-operation of heart 
 and mind with the devoted staff of eminent men whose lives are

AIDING A CITY'S GROWTH 
 
 Street railway lines are the arteries of the city, 
 pulsating with its life's blood, sustaining it, and devel- 
 oping its growth. 
 
 Without an efficient railway system there can be 
 little growth and no legitimate extension of boundaries. 
 Lack of facilities for necessary surburban residence 
 means congestion and stagnation of population in over- 
 crowded homes in the central section. 
 
 Baltimore City has grown rapidly in population and 
 area.

W. J. DICKEY & SONS, Incorporated 
 
 The business of W. J. Dickey & Sons, Incorporated, manufacturers of 
 woolen fabrics for men's wear, was established by WilHam J. Dickey in 1 838. 
 
 William J. Dickey was of Scotch-Irish lineage, and was born in Ballymena 
 County, Antrim, Ireland, in 1814. He was brought to this country by his 
 parents when but an infant. He started for himself as a manufacturer in 
 Baltimore, and later on commenced manufacturing in Philadelphia. 
 
 In 1870 he estabhshed and organized the Ashland Manufacturing Co., 
 and purchased the mills at Wetheredsville, Md., which was later known as 
 Dickeyville. 
 
 In 1882 he also established and organized the Manufacturers' National 
 Bank, of which he was president until his death in 1896. 
 
 In 1887 he bought the mills at Oella, Md., which his sons, Geo. A. and 
 Wm. A. Dickey, continued to operate after his death. 
 
 Wm. A. Dickey, Jr., Allen Dickey and Harry S. Dickey, who represent 
 the third generation, entered the business in 1906, 1911, and 1912, re- 
 spectively. 
 
 Allen Dickey, however, after seven years of important service in the 
 business, was killed in action at Montfaucon, September 29th, 1918. 
 
 In January, 1918, while running about 60 per cent, of its production on 
 blankets for the United States Government, the mill was completely destroyed 
 by fire. Despite the many discouragements of attempting to rebuild under 
 wartime conditions, steps were immediately taken to replace the old structure 
 with a plant of the most modern design and equipment. After many un- 
 avoidable delays, manufacturing operations were finally started in the new 
 plant in June, 1919. 
 
 The celebrated Dickey Kerseys, manufactured for three generations, 
 have long enjoyed a national reputation, and the new plant and equipment 
 will enable the present management to attain an even higher standard in the 
 perfecting of its output.

JOHN J. BUFFINGTON ^ COMPANY 
 
 John J. Buffington & Company, one of the largest and most important wholesale seed concerns 
 in the East, is located in the Buffington Building on Light Street, near Lombard Street, Baltimore. 
 
 The company was founded by Mr. John J. Buffington in 1902, at Number 104 South Charles 
 Street. In 1904, Mr. Buffington's brother, Howard 0. Buffington, was taken into the business, be- 
 coming in 1908 a partner in the firm. The same year the business was removed to No. 5-7 West Lom- 
 bard Street. Owing to the constantly and rapidly increasing business of this firm, they were forced to 
 seek even larger quarters, and in the spring of 1920 purchased their present location at Numbers 
 108-110-112-114-116-118 Light Street. 
 
 The house of John J. Buffington & Company enjoys a reputation for strict business integrity and 
 just dealing with its patrons which is unsurpassed by that bestowed upon any other business con- 
 cern in the city of Baltimore. Both Mr. John J. Buffington and Howard 0. Buffington are of the type 
 of business executives to whom the patronage of a steadily expanding and permanent trade is more 
 desirable than profitable single sales to customers whose orders are not repeated; therefore, their busi- 
 ness is yearly growing in volume, with the reputation of their firm reaching far beyond the territorial 
 limits formerly acquired.

E. S. Adkins ^ Company, Salisbury, Marylanci 
 
 No industry has played in the development of our country a greater part than has the lumber and 
 building business. As the country has grown, so has this business, from the little water-power saw-mills 
 of early days to the modern electric-driven plants as typified by that of the B. S. Adkins & Company at 
 Salisbury, Maryland. 
 
 In 1861 Stanton Adkins purchased an old saw-mill at Powellville, then Worcester county, Maryland, 
 and began the manufacture of lumber. The mill was run solely by water-power and the operations 
 were slow and tedious. Two thousand feet of sawed lumber in a day. reckoned from sunrise to sunset, 
 was considered a big output. 
 
 Stanton Adkins, the founder of the present company, was born in Worcester county, Maryland, on 
 October 18, 1820. After purchasing the mill at Powellville, he managed it for ten years. Upon his death, 
 his eldest son, Elijah Stanton Adkins, assumed active management of the mill which he continued to op- 
 erate by water-power until 1883 at which time he installed a steam circular saw-mill. Additional im- 
 provements were made and the manufacture of a general line of building materials was begun. 
 
 Since Powellville was several miles from the railroad, Elijah Stanton Adkins soon realized that he 
 was seriously handicapped by the lack of adequate transportation facilities, and that in order to serve 
 his customers as fully as was his ambition he would have to locate on a railroad. In 1892, therefore, 
 a complete new plant was built at Salisbury, Maryland, on the site of the present mill. The business 
 developed rapidly under skilful management and no opportunity was lost to discover improved methods 
 of production, to lower costs, to render better service, and to give better values to buyers of building 
 materials. 
 
 Alterations, improvements and additions have been added steadily since that time until today the plant 
 at Salisbury is one of the largest, most modern, and most completely equipped in the country. Being at 
 the junction of the N. Y. P. & N. and the B. C. & A. Railroads, the plant has half a mile of railroad sid- 
 ings. Five hundred feet of wharfage on the Wicomico river provide ample facilities for shipping and re- 
 ceiving by vessel and railway with exceptional dispatch. The company owns and operates a fleet of 
 motor trucks for the delivery of building materials to those who may best be reached by this medium. 
 To serve better its patrons in Southern Maryland and the tidewater counties of Virginia, the company 
 operates two large schooners and several power boats that ply the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its 
 tributaries, carrying finished products to water-side customers. This fleet also transfers the rough lum- 
 ber from the company's saw-mills to the great "Adkins-Salisbury" plant. The business extends through- 
 out the peninsula of Delaware, Maryland, and the southeastern counties of Virginia. 
 
 "Everything Needed for Building" is the slogan which E. S. Adkins & Company has long espoused and 
 consistently maintained, and which it welcomes every opportunity to make good. For each work-day in 
 the year, "Adkins-Salisbury" turns out sufficient building materials tor one complete house, and in addi- 
 tion a car load of box shooks. A band saw-mill at the Salisbury factory permits the filling of special or- 
 ders on very short notice. Free plans and specifications are furnished to builders by the Architectural 
 Department. All building supplies required by farmers for the erection of barns, corn-cribs, silos, or homes 
 can be delivered on the shortest notice, and farmers form about 80 per cent of the company's patrons. 
 
 An industry is no stronger than its service to the people. Through adequate service, "Adkins-Sal- 
 isbury" has won its reputation and through adequate service that reputation is being maintained. For 
 those considering the building of a home, this company is able to demonstrate a genuine ability to sup- 
 ply all requirements at a very reasonable cost. Materials for churches, including all inside furniture, con- 
 stitute another specialty of E. S. Adkins & Company. 
 
 F. P. Adkins, president of the company, is a director in the Peoples National Bank and in the Penin- 
 sula General Hospital, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and is closely identified with every for- 
 ward movement of the community in which he makes his home. E. Dale Adkins, general manager, is 
 treasurer of the North Carolina Pine & Box Shook Manufacturers Association and is connected with sev- 
 eral other businesses. Both stand high in Masonic circles. Having been reared on the farm, both are still 
 to some extent farmers, a fact which makes their advice and management of the company of inestimable 
 value to the farmers of the peninsula. ( 
 
 In order to render the most complete service possible, E. S. Adkins & Company has established at a 
 number of points the following branch yards: Berlin, Md., The Adkins Company; Hurlock, Md., Adkins & 
 Douglas Company; Chestertown, Md., E. S. Adkins & Company; Huntingtown, Md., Lyons & Gibson, 
 Agents; and Marbury, Md., C. T. .lenkins. Agent. Patrons of the company are urged to call on that 
 branch' which is most convenient to them. While all branch yards carry a well assorted stock, all are 
 so closely in touch with the home plant that any special orders can be filled without delay. 
 
 For a business to live and grow in one family through three generations for nearly sixty years is 
 something of which to be justly proud. When that business is so managed that each year finds it with 
 an increased number of real friends, the proprietors may well consider that they are giving worth while 
 service to their patrons. Such growth also proves that the business was founded upon, and is conducted 
 on, a solid foundation. That the progressive policy of service followed by the company throughout all these 
 years is appreciated by the people of the peninsula, is manifested by the fact that "Adkins-Salisbury" is 
 one of the most widely known and liked firms in the State. People on the peninsula "think Adkins when 
 they think building." 
 
 The photographic reproduction of the home plant at Salisbury is more or less tangible proof that the 
 slogan, "Everything Needed for Building," is not merely a business motto, but an unquestionably concrete 
 fact.

BLACKHAWK REMEDY CO. BUILDIXG 
 
 MR. HERMAN (BLACKHAWK) 
 GOLDMAN. 
 
 Mr. Herman (Blackhawk) Goldman, presi- 
 dent and founder of the Blackhawk Remedy 
 Co., was born February 18th, 1879, in New- 
 ark, N. J., of Austrain parents. 
 
 At the age of 15 he became attached to a 
 Wild West Show with which he traveled for 
 several years. His travels carried him into 
 the far west where, in 1904, he joined an 
 Indian Tribe and Medicine Show where he 
 became so familiar with the remedies which 
 Nature supplied the Aborigines that he was 
 called their White Medicine Man. 
 
 Owing to his popularity and good work in their behalf and, through the good fellowship of Oghema 
 Niagara (Chief Thunderwater ) , he was presented with an honorary life membership in the Councils of 
 the Triljes of the United States and Canada, attaching him to the White Nation. 
 
 He made an exhaustive study of the Indian methods of treating their ailments with the remedies 
 which Nature supplied them, such as the fat extracted from the rattlesnake which they used for rheu- 
 matism and other aches and pains, also roots, herbs, barks and flowers which they used as a blood puri- 
 fier, and his efforts were rewarded as he realized the wonderful curative qualities contained therein, so, 
 therefore, he set out to give to the world some of the most wonderful remedies made by man. namely. 
 Blackhawk's Rattlesnake Oil (Liniment), Blackhawk's Eczema Salve, containing the pure Oil refined 
 from the fat of the rattlesnake and a blood purifier compounded from the roots, herbs, barks and flowers. 
 
 These remedies became so popular on account of the astonishing results from their use that he could 
 not supply the great demand made on him, so that on November 14, 1919, he organized the company 
 known as The Blackhawk Remedy Co., with an authorized capital of $1,000,000, and with the home of- 
 fices and laboratories in the city of Baltimore. Md., in order that the whole world could be supplied with 
 these wonderful Nature's remedies. 
 
 On account of his tremendous energy and thorough understanding of these methods he is )'eculiarly 
 fitted to lead this company to the highest pinnacle of success. 
 
 His name is destined to go down in the history of the proprietary medical profession as a great 
 benefactor of all mankind.

 SALISBURY NATIONAL BANK 
 
 The Salisbury National Bank, oldest bank on the 
 Maryland Peninsula, south of the Delaware line, 
 was organized in 1884 by the late Governor E. E. 
 Jackson and John H. White, the former serving as 
 as its first president and Mr. White as its cashier. 
 
 This bank has shared and played a prominent 
 part in the remarkable development of the penin- 
 sula during the last several decades and always 
 has led in every movement which fostered the 
 growth of the industrial and agricultural opera- 
 tions. Starting with a capital of $50,000, the bank 
 has increased its capitalization to $100,000; its 
 surplus and undivided profits have reached $174,- 
 000; the deposits have passed the $1,250,000 mark, 
 and the total resources of the institution are in 
 excess of $1,750,000. 
 
 But three presidents. Governor Jackson, William 
 B. Tilghman and Senator William P. Jackson and 
 two cashiers, Mr. White and William S. Gordy, Jr., 
 have served the institution. Senator Jackson, 
 whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume, is 
 the present president. Mr. Gordy first formed a 
 connection with the bank in 1896. He served in 
 various positions until January of 1912, when he 
 was selected for his present executive post. He 
 has served one term as president of the Maryland 
 Bankers Association. 
 
 The bank has operated upon the same site dur- 
 ing its entire existence, one building having been 
 burned and two others giving way to more modern 
 structures. The bank is one of the most modern 
 in Maryland and has well established domestic 
 and foreign connections.
