FAVOR FARM SITE
Prominent Anne ArHndeIltes EadOrse
Sale OF County Property For Size
OF COlOred Insane Hospital

There has been great deal of fa.
vorable and unfavorable comment on
the purchase price of the Boswell
farm for a site for a coIored irsane
hospital.
Mr.. William L. Marbury, chairman
of the board of managers of the
Maryland State Hospital for CoIored
Insane, has received the following
letters and statements favoring the
site and price paid:
!. Mr.. Benjamin Watkins, of Ches-
terfeld, Anne Arundel county, a man
of the highest standing in that COM
munity of no interest whatever in
the matter, writes to Mr.. Marbury:
Il visited the farm quite frequent
ly when it was owned by Mr.. Lyons.
1t was then well farmed and i'm
proved each year under his manage
ment and at small cost. The soil is
clay and loan and responds prompt
ly to lime. Though it has been me-
elected in late years, it is now, in
my judgment, the most productive
farm in that section"
/. Mr.. Daniel +. Randall, post
master of this city, writes to DIR.
Hugh II. Young:
December 6, 1910 4
1T is matter of general knowl-
edge here that real estate values
along both the electric railroads, es-
pecially near salt water, have in
creased phenomenslly in the last FIVE
years, and l could point to a number
of sales of properties near the two
electric lines where prices have
doubled within this period.
Il am hot intimately acquainted
with all of the Boswell tract but ]
have seen portions of it and am con-
vinced that the price named by Mr..
Boswell to the State S a reasonable
one and not likely one that can be
duplicated in this county where con-
veniences of access and productivity
of soil are considered.
At the time this letter was writ.
ten-December 6-Mr. Boswell held
his farm at sl3, or S43 an acre,
which Mr.. Daniel r. Randall did no,
consider more than fair price. We
succeeded in getting it for $4,000,
or about S33 an acre | doubt if Mr.,
Moylan could have done any better,

THEIR CENSUS NOT TAKEN
Few Reasons Why Anne Arundel
County Fell Short On Numbers OF
Inhabitants

Listed among the counties in
Maryland that fell short in the CEN
sus recently taken was Anne Arun.
del. Everybody seems to take it as
a matter of course, and there has
been, apparently, no "kick coming.
Were the Anne Arundelites to
inquire into the matter they would
find this county had been painfully
overlooked, in spots, as 10 its census.
Like charity, let US begin at home.
Right here at our on door, there was
an omission on the part of the GEN.
sus takers. Inquire of your friends
and neighbors and see just how many
families were omitted, overlooked in
the census-taking.
Then, too, at Wardour, Just out
side of Annapolis, there are four or
| five families, not one of these were
counted in the census. Every little
bit helps" and these four or five
families would have added something
to the census of Anne Arundel, that
fell far short.
A representative of The Capital
has made it point to ask various
people at sundry times from divers
parts of Anne Arundel county, es
pecially those from st. Margaret:
and other parts of the Third district,
also from the vicinity of Parole, il
the census of their family had beer
taken, and in nearly every instance
the reply has been in the negative
The omission of the many families
in Anne Arundel county at the re
cent census, if counted would prob
| ably not have caused Anne Arunde
to have fallen short. tits considered
by people of judgment and discrim
I mating power that the census o.
Anne Arundel county was taken il
a very slipshod manner.

CHANGE OF BILL TONIGHT
Lyric Theatre Did Good Business With
Cutting And FenneII's Good Act

After an unusually successful
half week, during which Cutting
and Fennell's acrobatic act proved
a good vaudeville drawing card,
there will be complete change of
program at the Lyric Moving Pic
ture Theatre tonight. New special
lists and new pictures will be put
on tonight for the remainder of
the week.
The work of Charlie Cutting and
Francis Fennell during the first
three nights of this week proved
one of the strongest bills Manager
Ebling, of the Lyric, has booked at
this popular playhouse for some
time. The acrobatic team proved a
winner from the first and while the
whole act was good the contortion-
ist stunts of Miss Fennell and her
tumbling made distinctive hit.

Lost A Horse

Henry Bechum, of Eastport, a poor
white man, with family of six
children, lost horse on Sunday
last. The animal was not worth q
great deal but it was source of live
lihood for this poor man, whose one
means Of earning living has been
taken from him by the death of bis
horse.
The family is quite poor. but the
man is honest and industrious,
though not in robust health, and is
willing to work. He is a painter by
trade, but can do almost any kind
of work.

WOMAN
SEEKS AWFUL DEATH
PEORA ROMERO OF DOUGLAS
POURS GASOLINE ON SELF
AND IGNlTES 1T.

DOUGLAS. Aug. 13.-(SpeciaL)-
After some seven hours Of W
told agony Pedra Romero, woman
Of the underworld, died in her room
on Sixth street, after II o'clock last
night, a victim Of Jealousy 50 in
tense as TO render her as one insane
and to seek death in fame.
About O'Clock yesterday after
noon Pedra Romero rushed out Of
house on Sixth street a mass Of
flames, having saturated her cloth
ing with gasoline and ignited them.
Reseuers rushed to her assistance,
and with old pieces OF carpet sue
ceeded in smothering the flames and
extinguishing them, but not until the
victim of her own folly had been so
terribly burned that death alone
could relieve her sufferings. She
was carried to her room on Sixth
street and medical attention called,
but nothing could be done to save
the unfortunate creature and she lin
gerel until after IL O'Clock, when she
passed away. This morning a man
called at the city hall and stated
that he wanted to buy a grave for
her, but went away without leaving
bis name. Women OF her class have
subscribed the necessary funds for
her funeral.
It is stated that the Romero wo-
man was infatuated with a man who
had, or whom she believed had left
her. She is said to have followed af-
ter him and gone to a house in
which she believed he was. Entering
finally she did not find him and is
said to have ignited her clothing,
which she had previously saturated
with gasoline and rushed screaming
out.
The Romero girl was brought up
n Bisbee. It is said she was born
there. and her tragic death recalls
the fact that her brother made dar-
ing escape from jail and baffled the
hangman several years ago when Del
Lewis was sheriff The brother was
arrested. tried and convicted OF muir
der and sentenced to be hanged.

DEATH REVEALS
SOLDIER BIGANISI
OLD SOLDIER HAD THREE WIVES
LIVING FEW MILES FROM EACH
OTHER

PITTSBURG, Aug. 13.-With the
death OF James Kilgore, Civil war
veteran and well known throughout
this section, came the first knowl-
edge that he had three wives living
all within a few miles of each other
and that children OF the first and
third wives had been acquainted for
several years without knowledge Of
the relationship existing between
them
KiIgore died possessed OF property
and with insurance which was col
lected by wife No. 3. and today the
women who each supposed themselves
to be the only Mrs. James Kilgore
met and amicably divided the estate
and insurance money. Two wives live
in Pittsburg. the third lives in Johns
town.
The exposure OF the Kilgores' com
plicated domestic affairs was through
information received through the
United States pension department by
wife No. 1. who for a number OF
years had received one-third of XII
cores pension money. although not

knowing where he was living. The
first wife started an investigation
which disclosed the fact that Kill
gore had been living in Johnstown
and was married to a woman who
had collected his insurance money
and was ready to administer his es-
tate. A suit was threatened, when
wife No. stepped in, made her
claim, and. upon legal advice, the
three women agreed to divide the
estate.
Some years ago Kilgore, then mar
ried once. paid court to and married
beautiful young girl here and set
her up in a home a short distance
from where his first wife lived. For
some time this dual life passed with
out either woman suspecting anything
wrong. Police authorities were the
first to take notice Of KiIgore's life,

mountains for tourists. Bill was
driver on the Mogollon-Silver City
stage that was held up some three
weeks ago by two bandits who com
PEELED three women to hand over
money and jewelry valued at $500.
When the robbers had finished their
work they kindly advised Bill 70 re-
sign his job as stage driver and quit
the country. He took the advice and
rendered his resignation to the com
pany officials at Silver City.
That the advice Of the bandits was
sound was proved two weeks later
when Jose Dominguez, who relieved
him as driver. was shot and killed by
two masked men who held up the
stage at almost exactly the same place
where Gardner had been held up.
Cherokee Bill is an unusually pic
