The abortive law passed by the
legislature authorizing Boards OF
Supervisors to make appointments
of justices of the peace, bore its
first fruits yesterday, when seven
men committed to the county jail
from Jerome, were given their free
dom.
They were sentenced by w. ).
Adams, an appointed justice of the
peace. and their terms of imprison-
ment ranged from thirty days TO
ninety days. The grist from the
mills of other judges who received
similar recognition, and who sent
misdemeanor offenders to the coun-
ty Jail here, will be sifted down
and it is expected that there will
be a general cleaning out when data
is secured along this line of off,

KAMIKSU FOREST
WILL BE DEMANDED

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
government is selling 267,O0O,OOO
board feet of timber in the Priest
River Valley of the Kaniksu Nat
ional Forest, Idaho. This sale diff
ers from most OF those made by
the government in handling its Nat
ional Forest timber business. Not
merely the ripe timber will be
sold to make room for new crop,
but on part of the area the pur-
chasers will be expected to take
everything in sight, after the time
honored fashion OF most numbering
that is done on private lands. In
short, the forest will be destroyed.
In the Kaniksu sale, part OF the
area will be clear-cut because the
land is more valuable for agricul-
ture than for forests. Stump land
in the same neighborhood sells for
as high as $40 or $50 an acre; some
times even more. While the pres
ent stand OF timber on the best land
within the forest is. according to
the Forest Service, in general worth
more than the land apart from the
timber, the annual returns obtain
able from farm crops make agricul-
ture the best form of use for this
/ land.
To open TO homestead entry land
with from $1,000 to 5000 worth Of
| timber on each homestead unit, as
is the case on many homestead areas
on the Kaniksu, tends TO put pre-
MUM on its entry by timber specu-
lators. From the SPECTATORS they
go to lumber companies, and the
lumber companies may hold back
agricultural development either by
keeping the timber intact for Ions
period, or by cutting the land clear
and then holding it at price which
the prospective home builder look
ing for cheap land to develop car
, not pay. Therefore the Governme
does not open to entry heavily limb
cred agricultural land on Nationa
Forests until after the timber ha
: been cut off
In this instance the federal gov
= eminent will receive about $o50,00
, for the timber, of which sum S225,
< 900 will go to the benefit of til
z State for public schools and goo
= roads, and the rest will be covere
e into the treasury. All told, the year

Murderer Of COnits, Captured.
HE WAS HEAVILY ARMED.
Mrs. Conits, Who Has Been Living
With Son Here Shakes Fist at Man

That George Saradoupolos, who is
also known undef the aliases Of
Starauporlus, Dago Jake and Jimmy
the Rat, returned to Baltimore for
the purpose of doing away with Mrs.
Helen Conits, her son. Peter, aud
Mrs. Kate Predas, a friend Of the
Conits family. thus ridding himself
of the sole witnesses who could iden-
tify him as the alleged slayer Of Mrs.
Conits' husband, james Conits. on
October 27 last. is the belief of the
police of the Southwestern district.
Baltimore, and Headquarters Detee-
tive Quirk.
Saradoupolos was captured after a
desperate battle with Round Sergeants
Hughes and Carberry late Saturday,
night near the house at 1913 Hollins
street, where Conits was murdered,
and was identified yesterday BY the
widow. Since her husbands tragic
death Mrs. Conits has been living, in
this city with her son, Peter, who
conducts a confectionery store on
Main street. On being notified by
Mrs. Kate Predas. whose quick wit
resulted in the capture of Saradoupo-
,os, that the alleged slayer Of her
husband was under arrest, Mrs. Conits
went to Baltimore yesterday morn
ing. She went straight to the South
weston Police Station and was al once
taken to the cell where Saradoupolos
is confined.
At the command of Round Sergeant
Barringer, the prisoner, who had
spent a restless night, rose to his
feet and advanced toward the steel
bars. When he saw Mrs. Conits'
eyes scanning him, however, he hid
his face in mis- hands and covered
back in the cell. When for the second
time the eyes of the prisoner and che
widow met. Mrs. Conits could no
longer restrain herself.
"Ah, at last my prayers have been
answered, and my husbands death
is about to be avenged, she shouted
at Saradoupolos. You heartless
wretch. You, who were received into
our home, killed him that you might
escape when he caught you robbing
him. I've prayed long that you
might suffer and you will. "
The eyes of the Conits woman
blazed with a vindictive hatred and
blood rushed to her cheeks as she
shook her clenched fists in the face
of the prisoner behind the bars.
Mrs. Conits was shown the pris-
oner's effects, including the .4S-caI-
ber revolver, the burglars tool kit,
the hatchet and the knife, all of
which were found on the prisoner at
the time of his arrest. When asked
whether she could identify anv of the
weapons or tools, Mrs. Cor its de-
clared that she instantly recognized
the hatchet as belonging to her hus-
band.
Not only was Saradoupolos armed
to the teeth at the time of his ar
rest, but he wore vest of double
ply leather, which could not be pene-
trated by the sharpest knife.

DEPUTY AUDITOR NOT NAMED.
Board Of Public Works Defers Action
TO Investigate Qualifications Of
Applicants.

The Board of Public Works, which
was in session for some time in State
Treasurer Vandiver's office this after
noon, did not elect a Deputy Auditor,
as had been anticipated.
instead, when the matter was ap-
preached, a motion was promptly
made and carried, that provided for a
postponement of the election until a
meeting to be held at an early date.
Meantime, the officials will investi-
gate the qualifications of the several
applicants, in accordance with the
order.
Among the names mentioned for
tn position, which carries salary of
50, 900 per year, were Herman Reik,
assistant chief clerk in the State
Comptroller's Office; Miss Mamie Mel.
vim, George Blackjack, of Baltimore,
and Thomas j. Murray, the latter a
grocer of Cecil county.
Comptroller Harrington still main
tains his position for electing an
expert accountant to the office, while
Treasurer Vandiver is holding out
Tor tom" Murray. The belief is
expressed, however, that the Board,
eventually, viii name an accountant
to the Office. The long deadlock over
the Authorship was broken recently
wnen the Board named j. Enos Ray,
of Prince Georges county, q former
Speaker of the House of Delegates.
With the deputy authorship tempo
rarily disposed of, the Board then
held consultation with architects
over the plans of centralizing the
several State Offices in Baltimore.

THREE LOCAL QUINTETS
PLAYED ON SATURDAY
Navy SmOthered New York Uni
versity Under Score "a to Is.
ST. JOHNS RESERVES ALSO WON.
But First Team Lest to Catholics in
Washington Werniz's PFeps
Beat PolYtechnic.

With three match games on the
card, lovers of basketball had all they
could wish for Saturday afternoon.
Outclasse and outplayed in all de-
partmeuts Of the game, the baseball
team of New York University suffer-
ed an overwhelming defeat at the
hands of the midshipmen. The score
was "a TO l9. record count of the
season for the Middies.
The Middies not oalv displayed much
better team work as we'll as individ-
al playing than the Varsity boys. but
they also showed far super rior physi-
cal condition. In the latter respect
they were enabled to play a speedy
game throughout. while the New
Workers at times plainly showed signs
of gre at fatigue and were powerless
to cope with the rattling fast attack
led by the sailor lads.
In fact Navy played game that
stamps it as one Of the strongest
teams in the East The Middies got
the jump on their opponents right at
the outset of the game, when they
began scoring quite readily. When
the first half closed they hal roll ID
up total of 25 points, against 12
by the New Workers. Navy's adyant-
age and superior general work was
even greater in the second half.
For a time it looked as though
the visitors would not again score.
However, in the closing minutes of
play, Mcdonald and butcher each
netted field goal and the former
also threw two from the foul line.
But for the fine work of Smith and
Mckee, in the lineup as forwards for
the Navy, the score would undoubt-
edly have been closer. These two
lads worked splendidly together.
Smith scored tive I've field goals and
threw six from fouls, thus scoring
total of thirty points, while Mckee
registered eleven goals from the
court.
In fact, Smith has shone as the
star of the Navy quint this season
and he is already being rated as one
of the leading college players in
the country. He is at all times
aggressive and has a keen eye for the
basket He is not big fellow,
weighing only about $50 pounds, but
is very muscular and shows much
alertness in following the ball. The
game was the first in three weeks tor
the Midshipmen, because of the diff
Guilty in getting dates for the past
two Saturdays on account of the holi-
day season. But the players have
been as work regularly, with frequent
engagements with the second team

DIR. FELL ASSUMES THE
DUTIES OF PROVOST
Acceptance Of Position Satisfactory
to College Board.
WILL HAVE BROAD POWERS
Formal Installation Win be Made Im-
pOrtaat Ceremony in Educational
Circles.

Arrangements were completed
Saturday afternoon at a conference
between the deans of the several de-
partments Of the University OF Mary
land and DR.. thomas Fell, who was
recently appointed provost, for the
assumption by Dr. Fell of his new
duties today.
DR.. Fell will be faced by great
problems and will have many duties
and powers that have no> heretofore
been conferred upon provosts. In.
stead of being merely the president
Of the board Of regents, as his pre-
dece ssors have been, he will be the
real head Of the university. Under
his direction all affairs common 10
the several departments will he
managed.
1t was agreed that DR.. Fell should
give at least two days a week 10 the
work as provost. If additional time
is needed, he agreed to spend three
days every week in Baltimore The
provost's Office will be at the univer-
sity. A cl srieal force will be given
him to aid in the work Of making
greater university. IL was stated
after the meeting that DR.. Fell would
move slowly at first, studying thor
oughly the situation that confronts
the university. AS opportunities are
presented to broaden the work, he
will be given additional power by the
board.
The special committee from the
board of governors Of st. john Coll
lege also met and agreed that Dr.
Fell should be permitted TO accept
the Office OF provost while continuing
as president Of ST. Johns. This
committee will have in charge the
in connection with the
of DIR. Fell. II is plan
ned to make it a noteworthy occa-
sion in local educational circles. In
vitatious will be extended TO presi-
dents of other colleges and uniyersi-
ties to attend the ceremony. The
date of the installation has not been
selected.

has clearly shown that he is dissinc-
lively man Of the required tvpe.
And ] wish 20 add that ii is larpelg J
to the recent State legislation for
which Senator Lee is responsible that
/ attribute the redemption Of the
Fifth Congressional district from Re-
publican control, which has existed
for the last twenty years. With
Senator Lee in the United States
enate standing for the rights and in
terests OF our people. ! am convinced
that the reclamation Of this Con-
gressional district will be made per-
manent.
To me there is certain charm
in the personality of Seaator Lee ac-
centuated by his fearless devotion to
public duty, which has developed per-
sonal regard closely akin to affection.
But this does not determine my
course with respect to his candidacy.
Sheet, as we may, his political ca
reer to the most severe tests, Sena-
tor Lee, since the death Of Governor
Crothers, stands out above all Others
as the man Of the hour. His public
record for the last sight years
stamps him as the leader of the pro-
gressive Democracy Of the State at
the present time. -
