Women Asked To Help.

The white women of Maryland are to
be asked by the Democratic managers
to take part in the campaign and aid in
the fight for the adoption of the suf-
frage amendment to the Constitution.
Already corps of workers at head
quarters is sending out through the
mail copies of the Democratic campaign
book and literature setting forth the
Democratic view of unrestricted negro
suffrage and what they claim are its at
tending evils. To thousands of white
women in both the city and counties
appeals TO exert themselves to secure
the support of their male relatives and
friends for the amendment. and to them
selves lend encouragement to the Demo
cratic campaign by attending the meet
ings will be sent.
Chairman Murray Vandiver. in speak
ing of this part of the campaign work,
said: 1--WE are appealing to the white
women of the State to aid us because
we believe they are vitality interested
in the result, and so far as the women
are concerned there is no division of
opinion in reference to the undesirability
of the negro as a political factor. We
purpose to show to the women of the
State that the negro is the real issue in
this fight, and with their help there is
no doubt of the amendment being
carried.
The idea of enlisting the interest of
the women in the campaign. II is said,
was first advanced months ago, and It
will be enthusiastically worked during
the remainder of the campaign.

GAMBLING To GALLONS.
Road To Ruin Followed BY Shippers
Charged With Waylaying Father. The
Murderer Of Mr.. Constable.

Like hundreds of others who can
trace their ruin to the outlaw race track
at Elkton and Iron Hill, John NJ. Sim
pers, the murderer of Albert Constable.
can so lay the blame of his misspent
life.
Born within few hundred yards of
the fair grounds at Elkton young Sim
pers spent almost his entire time around
the track. There he grew to learn all
about crap shooting, racing and tout
ing. He worked little, yet every penny
he secured went to the crap game, and
it was not long or difficult Jump from
the crap table to the first theft.
His stepfather. named Marquee. or
Marquis. was also a devotee of the
track, and employed his time in max
ing books and otherwise keeping busy
at the outlaw tracks. Five years ago
this man was robbed of about 50, 100
while on his way home from the track.
Young Shippers was charged with the
robbery and was driven from home.
Then he began leading the rowing life
which ultimately led him to robbery.
horse stealing and murder. near his
former home.
There was never a direct charge made
against young Shippers regarding the
81. 100, but it never was heard of again
and no one was ever arrested on the
charge. Shippers always denied it stout
ly. and declared he was nowhere near
his stepfather at the time.

The Jones WILL CASE.
Verdict For The caveator Rendered Last
Friday Night.-Thc Property Involved
Amounts To About $5,OO0.OO.

The Jones will case, removed from
Worcester county, which had been on
trial in the Circuit Court for Wicomico
county since Wednesday morning, and
which has created a great deal of inter-
est, came to close about 10 o'clock Fri
day night last when the jury brought in
verdict for the caveators, Archeleus
Jones, son of the testator, and Sarah
Jones, u grandchild, who were the con-
testants of the will.
The case was stubbornly fought
throughout by Messrs Purnell & John
son and Robley ID. Jones, of Snow Hill,
and Toadvine & Bell, of Salisbury. for
the caveators. and j. Schiles Crockett
and l.. p. Ewell, of Pocomoke City, and
Ellegood, Freeny & WALES of Salisbury.
for the caveatee. 1.-THE widow AS the
property involved is worth about So
600 90, It is probable an appeal will be
taken by counsel for the caveatee to the
Court Of Appeals.
Edward 7. Jones, well-known resi-
dent of this county. died in February.
1904, leaving what was purported to be
his last will and testament. in which he
devised to his wife Clara j. Jones.
(second wife) the following property:
A farm in the eighth district. which he
inherited from his brothers. Samuel Q.
and George Jones: house and lot on Maple
Street, Pocomoke City, and house and
lot on Market Street, Pocomoke City; also
all money in bank. furniture. etc. The
will also directed that after debts had
been paid the residue of the estate was to
he divided equally between his lawful
heirs.
On the 10th of May the will was offer
ed for probate in the Orphans Court for
Worcester county, and on the same day
Archeleus Z. Jones. (son) by his attor-
news. Purnell & Johnson and Robley
ID. Jones, filed caveat against admis-
sion of the purported will to probate
alleging that at the time of the execu-
ton of the will Edward T. Jones did
not posses sound and disposing mind.
and that the will was secured by fraud
and undue influence.
In the instructions given to the jury
by the Court Friday afternoon, the count
alleging undue influence was stricken
out and the jury was told not to consider
it. as there was no evidence to sustain
the charge. The jury therefore. brought
in verdict setting aside the will on the
ground of insanity.
