Autos Build Fortunes
For Lucky Marylanders
BALTIMORE. Jan. 23. — Twelve
years afro the Pennsylvania Railroad
prave away an old bridge over the
Susquehanna River at Havre de
Grace to private interests; the build
ing of a new bridge had made it, ap
parently, valueless. Automobiles evei
since have been crossing ^he strue
lure in increasing numbers, and the
men who got the bridge for nothing
in 1910 recently, sold It to the state
of Maryland Tor $585,000. And in the
12 years it was in their possession
they pockdted $370,000 In dividends
all in toll charges collected from mo
tor cars.
When the new bridge made the
old one of doubtful use, the railroad
company offered it first to the state
and then to the county, but with
out success. If no one accepted it
the company was confronted with the
necessity of removing it, which
would have been very expensive. Sc
finally the company changed It from
a railroad bridge to a highway
bridge, and considered itself lucky it
finding a group of Maryland met
who consented to accept the strue
ture. which originally had C03I
$2,000,000, as a girt.
The recipients put up $700 to or
ganlzo a company, bast year the
net returns frtfiu the bridge wer>
$03,000. The state will continue tv

appointment of two women as com

The powers conferred by their ap !

ceive within the judicial district of
Montreal affidavits which may be|
used in any court in any district of]

coived have the same force as if they
had been received in court.
The women's petition for commLs-j
sionerships was rejected by Mr. Jus-!

judge took the ground that there was]
no precedent for appointing women,
and he declined to create one. A:
few days later the petition was pro-]
sented again, thl3 time to Mr. Jus

BALTIC REPUBLICS AND
SWEDEN CONTINUE OLD
HISTORIC FRIENDSHIPS
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 23.—An Illus
tration of the law of historical af
finity is seen in the (trowing “rap
:>rot hment” between Sweden and Ks
thonia and Latvia, the newly created
republics on the Baltic East Coast.
These two republics were largely
settled by vikings -about 1,000 yean
ago, and in the time of Gustavus
Adolphus swore allegiance to the
Swedish crown. They were under
Swedish rifle for 150 years until j
1710, when they were conquered by
Russia. But the Letts and Esthon-!
Ians still speak of the "good old
Swedish times.” This tradition of
kinship with Sweden now expresses
itself In constant attempts to - get
closer together culturally, politically
and financially.
Thus the University of Dorpat In
I KClhonia, founded by Sweden In 1032,
| has Jusft added the sixth Swedish
' professor to fts faculty, and various
; courses in the Swedish language are
being given. Meanwhile the groups
of teachers and -pupils, farmers anil
others are coming over to visit
Sweden
The Swedish people were among!
the first to encourage these repub-!
I lie in their hard fight for nationul!
j existence, and they have sent over!
.relief expeditions lo work among the
i inhabitants left destitute by the
| many years of -war and the suffer
i ing through many centuries of ab
| Ject servitude under the rule of the
! focal nobilfty of German descent,
i the "Baltic Barons," and under the
Russian czarist reg me.
Trade relations between Sweden
and ihe/now Baltic states have de-1
veloped rapidly since the war, and;
a number of Uteamshlp lines are now i
maintaining regular service between1
Riga, Revai and Swedish ports.
