and killed, instantly, last night by
Mr.. Darcy Smoot, a farmer living
on the Horns Point road about two

Information received, Mr.. Smoot
was cleaning a pistol and putting it
in order at the time. Two of the
colored men stated that they had
a pistol in the house, and started
in to get it. Jenkins, who follow
ed, was on the steps when the
weapon in Mr.. Shoots hands dis
charged, the bullet striking the man
in the neck. Death was instantane-

TO PROBE TROUBLE
IN OYSTER FIELDS
State Board of Public Works Will
Meet Today in Garrett Building. !

Gov. Goldsborough, with Attor-
ney General Poe, members of the
Shellfish Commission and others
took up informally yesterday the
troubles between oyster tongers and
leased-bottom holders in Somerset
county.
The Governor explained that ia
meeting of the Board of Public
Works had been called to act on
this matter, but that Treasurer Van
diver had to attend a meeting at
the Maryland Agricultural ColleA
and Comptroller Harrington
tied up in an important case
court He said, however, that
session of the full Board would
be held at IL o'clock today, in the
State offices in the Garrett Build
ing, Baltimore.
The trouble among the oystermen
was due to the raiding of the beds
of George A. Cox, on Carmen bar,
in the Manokin river. The Cover
nor explained that he acted imme-
diately when Mr.. Cox made his
complaint last Friday, and Comman-
der Howard was sent at once to
the scene Commander Howard re-
ported that he could find no buoys,
and therefore could not tell just
where the alleged depredations had
been committed. Commander How
ard impressed the Governor with
the Importance of having buoys in
the water to designate the various
beds.
The whole question" said the
Governor, we will take UP before
the whole Board. Our oyster navy
is limited in size, but, of course,
we want to do the best we can"
1t was said at the meeting that
a number of the tongers had vol
UNFAIRLY surrendered to the Sbanin1
of Somerset county, and that one
phase of the situation was now in
the hands of the Court.

money has been spent during the sea
son on dragging the streets This has
been practically all wasted.
The only purpose it has served has
been to loosen up the dirt so 1t would
blow out of the streets that much
easier. Many of the principal streets
have been lowered from one to three
inches during this season. The cross
ings and the manholes are projecting
above the road surface so much that
they have become positively danger
Gus to travel. And while this condi-
ton has been going on, not one penny
has been spent in putting a permanent
surface on any of the streets.
There is only one way TO stop this
waste and to get out of the mud, and
that is by going to work and putting
on a hard surface that will be practi-
cally dustless as we'll as mud proof.

IS, 0OO.00 per mile. This kind of road
will answer very well for residence
streets. This will cost only $3.50 per
foot in length. Now suppose that a
residence property has a frontage of
100 feet, and that the property owners
on both sides of the street pay their
share, il will then moun to $500 per
100 foot frontage. | believe that he

to pay this small sum in order to pull
the streets out of the mud. At ANY
rate let us find out. l will cheerfulIy

No Peace in Baseball.

Chicago, Nov. THE American
League magnates are not seeking
peace with the Federals. This fact
was clearly established when the
moguls Of Ban Johns organization
asse mbled in this city for their an
nual fall meeting. The Federal
League was discussed for possibly
half an hour while the owners were
in session, and they went on record
as declaring themselves adverse to the
recognition Of a third league.
Every club in the American League
was represented at the meeting and
every representative was willing to
state that there would be no recogni-
tion Of the Federals by the American
League.
OF course, peace would be well
coined, but the American Leaguers
claimed they could see no way out
of the present muddIe. They allowed
that the Federals have already in
jured them as much as possible, and
they are willing to go through the
1915 season under the same conditions
as in 1914.

CLARK AND JOHNSON
TAKE NORTH END

II. H. Clark of Brawley and t. A.
johnson of Cahpatria, who have been
selling valley real estate under the
firm name of Clark G johnson, have
been appointed general agents for the
North End lands and exclusive rep
resentatives of Carl F. Schader. the
builder of Calipatria. They announced
that here after they will engage and
direct agents throughout the valley
and do everything practicable to stim-
ulate the demand for the rich North
End lands by making bargain prices
and opportunities known everywhere.
Mr., Clark VIII maintain his headouar
ters office at Brawley, and Mr.. John
son ii Calipatria. Their agency forces
will be handled locally, instead of at
Los Angeles. Mr.. Johnson said to-
day:
"Mr. Clark is too modest to tell
much of his own achievements, but
want to report that his sales of North
End lands in less than a year have
amounted to considerably more than
$250,000. Our combined sales APP
preached the $50O,O0O mark and it
soon will be passed."
The firm announces a desire for
active cooperation on the part of all
real estate statesmen in the valley
Agents are wanted in every town and
district. Mr.. Clark said:
"Back to the land is the universal
slogan. To meet the enormous de-
mand for foodstuffs created by the
wars, every acre of our lands should
be planted. The Imperial Valley land
Is the most productive in the world.
1t is offered now at low prices, Oh
easy terms. 1t is sure to double in
value in two or three years. While
these lands are doubling in intrinsic
value, the products viii pay for them.
Now is the time to buy a farm. Sue
cessful farmers should increase their
holdings, plant to the limit and reap
the golden rewards.
"Calipatria City is wonderful fact.
But within twelve months, instead of
the 10000 acres Of growing fields there
should be 100000 acres of crop to
iced our own people and the multi
tudes of Europe.
"The quickest crop is barley. We
have the finest barley land on the
globe. 1t now looks like barley viii
go to cent and half per pound.
Pears, beans, al of the legumes, whicn
grow to perfection in our valley soil,
are in great demand in Europe. A
thousand and one useful and neces-
sary rrodu.ts, now in demand every
where, can be raised to perfection on
cur valley land. We offer matchless
opportunities to thousands of home
seekers, to those cooped up in the cit
les, ekeing out precarious living and
trying to pay for an over-valued
home on tbe installment plan, and
here in Gods great out-of-doorg
everybody can be healthy, comfortable
and prosperous. Surely this is an
alluring proposition to hove-loving
folk everywhere. Spread the message
Of the opportunities Of the Imperial
Valley, and of the great North End
in particular"
