BOY TELLS OF CRuELTIEs
Says lie Had 70 Run Away From
Farmer Who Beat Him.

FREDERICKSBURG. Nd. Jan. 3l.--
A bright 10-year-old boy. who was
found wandering on the country road
between here and Seaford told a pit
iful tale when turned over to Chief
of Police Smith, of this place. He
said he had been bound out TO a far
mer named Tuu. living near Seaford.
last April. and had received unmer-
ciful treatment at the farmers hands.
The beatings he received, he said,
were awful. and he was compelled to
get up at 4 o'clock in the morning,
milk the COWS, cut wood and do other
work which would have taxed a
mans strength.
The boy said his home was in Bal
timore, where a brother lived, and,
although he tried several times to
communicate with the brother, said
each time the farmer frustrated his
plans. He was not allowed to go TO
school. and the only way he saw OF
getting away from the farmer was TO
run away. Chief Smith telephoned to
the address given by the boy and
found his brother lived there, but
was away at the time. The boys pa
rents are dead.

WOULD CLOSE
ALL RACE TRACKS
In MARYLAND

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 3l.-Com-
plete elimination of race track gambling
IN Maryland will be provided in a bill
now being prepared ~ Delegate William
purnell Hail. of the Second legislative
district of Baltimore. Mr.. Hall will in
troduce his bill in the House of Dele
gates as soon as he finishes It, which
probably win be within the next few
days.
The bill, according to statement
made bv Mr.. Hall. will follow closely the
lines of the New York law, under which
former Governor Charls b. Hughes, now
"A member of the supreme court of the
limited States. conducted and won the
TERRIFIC battle for the abolition OF race
track gambling in that State.
This law, Mr. Hill says has stood the
test Of the courts, and its underlying
principles and most of its details will be
incorporated in his bill
The announcement of Mr.. Halls
purpose comes as the climax of a
series of announcements concerning
legislation affecting race-track gamb-
ling. Senator Frank e. Williams. of
Cecil led off with his bill to abolish
the Havre de Grace track; Senator
Edward NJ. Hammond, of Howard,
came next with his bill to create a
racing commission for the State and
to levy a tax of 10 per cent. upon
the receipts of the tracks; Speaker
1rippe advocates a bill which, il is
said. will levy a tax Of per cent
upon the sums wagered at all tracks
in the State, and last of all is Mr.
Halls bill, which would wipe out tho
whole business Of race-track gambling
Speaking of his measure, Mr.. Hal
. said:
1T is perfectly obvious to everyone
that the time has come when the Cen
. eral Assembly of this State must fact
the issue of race-track gambling
