B2 « THOUSANDS GREET MARYLAND ALUMNI Gov.- Nice and Shrine Im- perial Potentate Among Distinguished Guests. Thousands gathered in colorful ar- ray at Maryland University yesterday to celebrate the annual alumni home- coming and to participate in various functions centering around the Mary- land-Washington and Lee foot ball game, which was fought to a tie, and in joint ceremonials by Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine of Washington and Boumi Temple of Baltimore. Distinguished guests of the day, Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland, Senator Millard E. Tydings of Mary- land, Mayor Howard W. Jackson of Baltimore, the imperial potentate, Leonard P. Steuart, of the Mystic Shrine, and many others participated in events of the day. A drizzling rain which became a downpour about the middle of the game. failed to dampen the ardor of the assembled throngs and the brightly colored uniforms of the two shrine temples were bared to the rain as a drill was held during the inter- mission between halves. 32 Candidates Initiated. Almgs and Boumi Temples united in a joint ceremonial at Ritchie Coli- seum at night, when officers from the Washington and Baltimore groups initiated a total of 32 candidates and | Almas took in 4 more by affiliation | from other temples. ‘While the ceremonial was in prog- ress at the Coliseum the women of the Shrine party were entertained at the college gymnasium by a motion picture and by the university glee club and orchestra. Following these two functions & Shrine dance was held at the Coli- seum and later there was a reception at the Mayflower Hotel for the dis- tinguished Masonic guests of the day. The Shrine first joined the univer- sity in festivities prior to the foot ball game when, headed by the University of Maryland Band, a large delegation of brilliantly clad Shriners from the bands, drum corps, patrols and other units of the two temples, marched into the stadium to the stirring music of the bands. Join in Maneuvers. During the half period the two Shrine musical units joined in the sta- dium for a presentation of maneuvers which covered the entire foot ball field. The gridiron was filled with flashes of color and marching men despite the rain, which had already sent some of the spectators to cover in the nearby coliseum. Shriners and their parties had an outdoor barbecue dinner after the ball game which fortunately was favored by a let-up in the drizzle. Many, how- ever, took refuge in the coliseum, so the barbecue was all over that part of the campus. The homecoming program of the university got under way, in reality, Priday night with a pep rally and bon- fire on the campus, followed by the homecoming dance in the gymnasium. Registration of alumni started early yesterday morning and officials at the university estimated about 400 had returned for festivities of the day.

How a little girl who had walked on all fours all her life had been cured in a Shriners' hospital for crippled children was related last night by Leonard P. Steuart, of Washington, imperial potentate of the Shrine for North America at a joint ceremonial of Almas and Boumi Temples at the University of Mary- land. Steuart said he discovered the case in a Shriners’ hospital in Winnipeg, Canada.

History and Scope Told. Reciting the history and scope of the 15 Shriners’ hospitals for crippled children, scattered throughout North America, Steuart declared: “That one case of the crippled girl who walked cn all fours and has now devoted her whole life to the destitute crippled child is worth all of the $22,- 000,000 we have spent in this great work.” Steuart explained that it cost $1,- 000,000 a year to operate the 15 hos- pitals and that the property in these institutions originally cost a total of i plained. “There is not a dollars’ worth of debt on these institutions,” he em- ’phuiud. “They are all paid up.” GAME PROTECTION LAW TO BE TESTED West Virginia Justice to Hear Charges Appealed by Two Hunters. ber 16.—The question of whether notice to a game protector from the owner to stand off certain property cer in the performance of his duty | official will come before Justice Ward | Nicklin here next week as a result James Householder and Clarence An- | derson, Back Creek Vallty men, ac- cused by game protectors of hunting fur-bearing animals out of season.

By the Associated Press. ‘When the trim little cutter Electra glides down the Potomac next Spring with President Roosevelt aboard, it will become the fifth vessel on which Presidents of the United States have sought to escape the daily routine of their busy desks.
