WiCOmiCO Is Claimed For
Senator Smith

a special from Salisbury in the Balti-
more Sun says in part:
although the Senatorial primaries
are some time Off the chief topic of con-
versation in Wicomico county and all
over the Shore" is the Senatorial as
pirations of the present avowed candi-
dates. II has been generally presumed
that Senator John Walter Smith would
desire to succeed himself and since his
announcement many former adherents
Of the Jackson faction have come out in
open advocacy of the Senator.
In speaking of the opposition to SEN
ator Smith in Wicomico the article says
Additional antagonism has its incep-
ton in the attitude Of friends of former
Judge z. Stanley Toadvine, candidate
for reelection last year, who blames SEN
ator Smith for throwing his influence to
Judge H. l.. d. Stanford. OF Somerset
county. and bringing about his election
by an overwhelming majority in the
primary. But not all of Ex-Judge Toad
vines friends view the situation from
this standpoint. Some Of his warmest
admirers are already making an open
canvass for Senator Smiths reelection.
The rank and file of Wicomico county
Democrats feel that Mr.. Smiths loyalty
to his party. his 'square-deal'' ideas in
marty management egDecially at the
last State convention. wherein he stood
for equal representation of the Wilson
Clark adherents. and his ability consti-
tute claims for reelection which should
not be ignored. From present appear
ences he will have behind him large
majority of the Democrats Of his home
section.
The candidacy of Isaac Lobe Straus
for the long term seems so far to have
fallen fiat"

Letter From Mr.. BOehm

A detective from Gettysburg. Pa.
arrived in Snow Hill last Saturday
night, with requisition papers for ). A.
Carpenter, the young man who attempted
TO get money in Snow Hill under false
pretenses. The officer said Carpenter
was wanted in Pennsylvania for numer-
Gus offenses, of like nature TO the ones
he attempted to work here. and that he
would be taken back and placed in a re-
formatory school.
Mr.. c. l.. Boehm writes To us from
Highfeld, Md. explaining his relation
and knowledge of Carpenter, as follows:
After reading an article in your issue
OF Saturday last. as to the arrest Of
Young Carpenter. and finding he is fool
ish enough 10 say the checks were bona
fide, | wish 10 make this statement:
Upon receipt Of letter from Mr. Par
sons, Cashier of the Deposit and Saw
ings Bank. informing me of the forgery,
and stating the young man said | had
given him the check in payment for a
motorcycle. then knew who it was
VINO ndu pTtStUtcu TIE SutShs ~ gave
a young man last August at PEN Mar a
check for $500 in payment for a
bicycle, which he said he was trying 10
sell TO get money for his mother 10 go
see his sick brother. who was then in a
hospital. | found out the wheel was his,
and bought it. After getting the letter
from my bank | connected the wheel
and the motor cycle together. and went
over to Waynesboro. Pa. Saturday. and,
after considerable trouble. located the
parents of the young man. After an in
terview with them, | was certain this
was the young man. He is wanted at
Gettysburg. Pa. for obtaining $25. 90
from department store. do not want
my friends in and around Snow Hill to
think have gained strength so rapidly
that can handle heavy motor cycle
up here in these mountains, where the
grades run from IS TO 200 feet 10 the
mile. As soon as | can manage this
feat will start home and go to hard
work. This is lovely place up here.
and the air is pure and dry, and have
gained q lbs. but that will not run q

think better Of the checks being bona

to defy deportation by remaining
in Sherbrooke Jail. Judge Hutchin-
son sustained writ on habeas cor
pus calling for his release. Thaw
remained dazed for possibly three
minutes. The crowd began o
leave the judges chamber j n
silence. Thaw followed aimlessly.
As he crossed the threshold E.
Blake Romertson, assistant super
intendent of immigration, placed
him officially under arrest as al
undesirable alien.
The crowd then surged from the
building, and it was then announc-
ed that Thaw would he taken i'm
mediately to Coaticook for a hear
ing.
Judge Hutchinson's vol ice
trembled as he read the decision
which in effect started Stanford
Whites slayer on the road back to
Matteawan. The court held briefly
that Thaw was being confined il
legally and that John Boudreau,
chief of police of Coaticook, the
petitioner, had the right to demand
the prisoners release.
