VI. 3. Curtis Examination ON the
Charge of Murder.

A dozen members of the Police Depart
ment, including Captain Lees and Detective
Ben Bohen, occupied reserved chairs in
Police Court l yesterday afternoon at the
preliminary examination of Actor NJ. 3.
Strellinger. alias Curtis, who is charged
with the murder OF Policeman Alexander
Grant
The face OF the accused comedian was
wreathed with smiles as he stepped out
from the prisoners dock and took a seat
beside his wife and his counsel, George A.
Knight and w. w. Foote. The prisoner
has entirely recovered his composure, and
looked very natty in a new black suit with
a boutonnlere in the lapel Of his coat.
The testimony introduced by the prosecu-
ton was similar to that heard at the COro-
ners inquest. Mrs. Annie johnson OF SIC
Folsom street narrated that about 1920
o'clock on the morning OF the 1lth inst, she
heard loud talking across the street from
her house, and raised the window to see
what was the matter. She saw two men
scuffing, and the stOuter man said, Come,
come along now" Then she heard three
shots fired in rapid succession. The stouteT
man fell toward the fence and the smaller
ran toward Fifth street Two officers ran
out of the Southern Station, and one
of them stumbled over Grants body.
W
prisoner lie appeared to be the same
man who ran away after the shooting.
Cross-examined by Foote the witness be-
came somewhat 'rattled," and contra
dicted herself several times a statement
that she made to Officer Dillon on the day
after the shooting was introduced IN evil
dence.
Mrs. Jennie Holden of SjS Folsom street
related a story similar to that told by the
previous witness. A writ statement
made to the officers was shown her during
croSs-examinatiOn, and she said it had been
changed since it left her hands Something
about her having seen thu smaller man
point something toward the stouter mans
head had been inserted.
Miss Mamie Holden corroborated her
mothers statement, and James Creighton,
a bartender employed at Fifth and Folsom
streets, deposed that after the shooting he
saw man running and followed him until
arrested. The man arres- ell was the de-
PENDANT.
The examination will BE- resumed on Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock.

No AIpha nor Omega.

Until some more definite proclama-
ton is made from the Census office,
the idea that published populations of
election districts, with the varying
areas of the latter not considered,
imply superiorities and inferiorities of
numbers worthy only of starlit genius.
Orleans, Oldtown-each has treble
the area of Nos 10 and 10, yet the
population of both do not reach a
third of that of the Homecoming dis
tricts.
When, therefore, in the formation
of new districts Frostburg lost good
deal ofpopulous territory, Homecoming
suffered comparatively little. In short,
Frostburg, as an election centre, lost peo-
pie; Homecoming lost territory, and
not much of that.
Still, when the populations of the
towns proper are given, if ever, the
manner of taking the census will
always furnish ground for subjecting
the official statement to question, no
matter what it states
Besides, nobody can tell where
Homecoming begins or where it ends.
1t is a "double- bow" in a knotty
string that reaches from Ocean to
esternport,

In aCIOse Place.

Rev. j. NJ. Rollins, former pastor
of the M. E. Church, South this place,
now a missionary in Japan, was as
saulted by mob at Sano in February
and narrowly escaped with his life
His interpreter found a policeman
who could not act, however, until he
went home and put on his official
uniform. Meanwhile Rollins was in
the grasp of 1,500 Infatuated fanatics
yelling for his life. The single police
man, for whose cloth the japanese
have well-grounded respect, was able
to rescue him. The cause of the up
rising was "disbelief of the statement
that Christ rose from the dead ="
They hooted, rldiculed and jeered it,
and on Rollins insistence upon it, they
made it too warm for him.
Rev. W. S. Wordan, of the NJ. E.
church, at Nagoya. not for from Kobe,
where Rollins lives, has to keep a
policeman in his house and travel

Banking on a E'aIlacy.

The Frostburg Ledger regards the
failure of the Water Board to get its
vote of one year ago as equivalent to
a condemnation by the people of its
administration.
Let us grant this in order to ascer-
tain how Peter Lammert will stand
the same test.
Two years ago Mr.. Lammert re-
ceived 269 votes, this year 157, or liz
votes short of endorsement.
More than this, Mr. Lammert this
year, like Mr.. Haverstick, ran behind
his ticket, and yet Mr.. Haverstick got
S votes more than Mr.. Lammert.
We will close this hurried comment
by turning one of the Ledger's guns on
itself:
The silent protest of the 112 stay-at-homes
should be enough to make Mr. Lammert
recognize the state of public feeling and no
longer imagine that he as an official is the
Landed model of good judgment and ability
We have enough information to
carry this comparison further, but we
are not disposed to hold Mr.. Lammert
responsible for a piece of the baldest
sophistry.

Reflex Politics,

The Water Board end of the re-
publican ticket, which received such
an enthusiastic lack of support from
the Frostburg Ledger, was not only
nominated but reelected.
This fact is mentioned by way of
encouragement to the courthouse ring.
The Last State Worse Than the First.
The Homecoming Star justifes it's
obscenity by intimating that it re-
produced several weeks ago the only
word it can remember of Biblical men
tion-one which, no matter how
legitimate its use, is far from current
in decent society to-day.
But it was the sound of the term, not
its relevancy, that suited the Star's
purpose.
The other term, it seems, is not an
Old Testament clipping, but lelic Of
coasting times in Frostburg, with our
girls as heroines.
That is queer tribute to our ladies
"a bran new, crisp and sparkling gem
of dirty evasion. But being exuded
too late, and, like all its editorial no.
tons, coming butt-end foremost, it is
rather unfortunate that the Stars apol-
ogies for its indecencies tend to
multiply by two its offenses against
good taste.
If at any time, therefore, the JOUR-
NAL needs the Stars tutelage in
matters of propriety and graceful
movement, the Star will come-when
invited.
Not before.
