AUTOMOBILES HAVE
BUILT FORTUNES FOR
LUCKY MARYLANDERS
Baltimore, Dec. 21.—Twelve years
ago the Pennsylvania Railroad Rave
a way an old bridge over the Susque
hanna River at Havre de Grace to
private interests; the building of a
new bridge had made it, apparently,
valueless. Automobiles ever since

have been crossing the structure
increasing numbers, and the men v
got the bridge for nothing in 1910
recently sold it to the state of Mary
land for $585,000. And in the 12
ye irs it was in their possession, they
pocketed $370,000 in dividends,
in tolls charges collected from motor
When the new bridge made the o
one of doubtful use, the railroi
company offered it first to the sta
and then to the county but withoi
success. If no one accepted it, the
company was confronted with the
necessity of removing it, which
would have been very expensive. So
finally the company changed it from
a railroad bridge to a highway bridge
and considered itself lucky in find-
of Maryland men who

begin trading with Soviet Rui
‘the establishments of such relations
I would be beneficial to commerce and
(industry. But progress in this di
rection is barred by the attitude of
Danish court, and behind the
I ‘court is the influence of the Dowager
! Empress of Russia, Maria Feodoro-
;vna, formerly Princess Dagmar of
[Denmark, and mother of the late Em-
iperor, Micholas who was slain by by
I his Bolshevik jailors. King Christian,
of Denmark, is her nephew and
iQueen Alexandra, of England is her
countrv was one of vlccissitudes. Foi
different conspiracies agninst her
life were frustrated by the Imperial
authorities. When the Bolsh
overthrew the Kerensky government
they confiscated her palace i n Petro-
grad and reduced her to destitution.
She went to live in the Crimea,
whence later she made her way to
Constantinople and England, where
she was welcomed by King George
and Queen Mary.
Of recent years she has been liv-
ing in Denmnrk. Commenting oi
her presence in this country a loca
newspaper says:
‘‘It is easy to understand that thi
mother of the murdered Czar should
use all her influence to thwart any
kind of agreement being made be
tween the country of her birth and
Soviet Russia. In spite of her 75
yenrs, Maria Feodorowna is hale and
hearty and in the possession of all
her faculties. Imperial Russians
irywhere recognize her as tl
head of Monarchist Russia.
She has of late received a veriti
ble shower of letters from every co
ner of the world congratulating h<
on her attitude towards King Vic
or Emanuel, of Italy, when thi
King paid an official visit to Den-
mark during the summer,
studiously kept away from all offi
cial and private festivities arranged
in honor of the King’s visit, and it
was officially announced that her
.Majesty was indisposed and unable to
he present. Though informed by
King Christian that Maria Feodorav-
na’s indisposition was her unwilling
ness to meet with a royal personas*
who had received M. Tjitcherin, the
Soviet Foreign Minister as
guest. King Victor Emanuel insist-
cd upon paying her a private visit
at her summer residence. He n

NAVAL TREATY HAS AFFECTED
MANUFACTURE OF ORDNANCE
Washington, D. C., Dec. 11—How the
naval limitation treaty already has
curtailed the manufacture of navy
ordnance was portrayed in the annual
report today of the Navy Depart
ment’s ordance bureau.
Although the treaty’s scrapping
provisions will not become effective
until the instrument has been ratified
by all the signatory powers, the gov
ernment lias stopped construction
work on a sufficient number of
vessels to effect a considerable sav
ing in expenditures for armor,
armament and munitions. A total of
$47,470,000 had been appropriated
for ordnance during the fiscal year
of 1922, and although exact figures
are not yet available, the bureau’s
report estimated that something like
$39,000,000 remained unexpended
at the end of the year.
Work on the 10-inch calibre gun
program was stopped entirely as a
result of the treaty, while the manu
facture of armor and turret material
for several firstline ships was
auapendeo. There was a large curtail
ment of torpedo manufacture, a con
tract for 2,000 held by one company
oeing amended so as to call for
delivery of only 400. Manufacture
of depth charges also was discontinu
ed.
In making the necessary adjust
ments with contractors the Bureau
encountered trouble only in two cases
both of which were settled by the
courts in complete conformity with
the settlement proposals of the gov
ernment.
