Grand Jury Reports.
Says 1t Is Hard to Get At True
Facts In Some Cases.

The Frederick County September
Grand Jury on Saturday completed
one of the most strenuous sessions
known for body of that character,
when they finished their work and
were discharged, upon their request,
by the Court. The report of the
Jury had been expected all day, but
on account of several late cases de-
handing attention, it was impossi-
BILE for the work to be finished until
shortly before $50 O'Clock.
In their report the Grand Jury
state they have completed their work
to the best of their ability. In SEES
sion Is days, 1856 cases were con-
sidered, $50 witnesses were examin-
ed, Is presentments and indictments
found and lis cases dismissed. The
report states that many cases which
came to the attention of the jury
should have been disposed of by
the Magistrates and the Jury feels
that if the Magistrates have not such
power it should be given them to
save the county great expense.
Coaching Of witnesses and the diff
cility of the Jury to get at the true
facts in cases came in for severe
criticism. The donation of liquor
to minors in many localities was also
scored.
A request that the laws be enforced
against speeding autoists and motor
cyclists is embodied in the report.
Montevue is reported to be too
large for present wants, but the be-
lief is expressed that the County
Commissioners can make it self sup
porting. Superintendent DIN w.
Rice submitted the following report
for Montevue: Males, white, so;
colored, 10; children, colored, 4;
tramps, 8; total, IA. Females, white,
80; colored, 10; tolal 40.

MARYLAND POULTRY RAISERS
SHOULD INCREASE FLOCKS.

College Park, Md, Sept. 25.-In
an interview today, Prof. Roy H.
Waite, Poultryman at the Agricultu-
raj Experiment Station, urged that
poultry keepers in the State aim to
increase their production during the
coming year owing to conditions
abroad. He said in part, "Produc-
ton has been seriously crippled in a
large area of the world and there is
going to be a sudden demand for
poultry products sometime during the
coming winter.
Will the Maryland poultry raiser
be prepared to step in and help fur
nish food for the world? Present
low prices cannot long continue.
The markets report that the move
ment of poultry is sluggish and the
fact that the prices today are lower
than usual at this time of year seem
to indicate that poultry is being
dumped on the market on account of
the rising cost of feed. Hold on to
all the pullets and year old hens you
can for there is bound to be re-
action, but of course don't over stock
and run too much risk of disease.
On account of the present high
cost of feeds it will be necessary for
you to practice the most rigid econo-
my in the matter of feeding. Econo-
my, however, doesn't always mean a
cutting down of feed; but it does
mean adjusting the outlay and in
come so that the most profit will be
realized. Utilize all available waste
products and when you buy, purchase
the lower priced feeds, providing
their feeding value justifies their
use."

ERUPTION OF O'AEILL
INTO BUCKEYE COUNTRY
Succeeded in Creating Anti Demo
cratic Sentiment

BUCKEYE, oct 2S.-Eugene Brady
O'Neill invaded Buckeye today and
tonight he appeared as the sole
speaker at a personally and self
conducted meeting, in the interest Of
the democratic county, state and con-
gressional candidate. He went so
far as to inaugurate the democratic
presidential campaign of 1916
There was an attendance of about
fifty at the hall at the beginning of
the address of Mr. ONeill That
number had much diminished before
the close of his remarks. The crowd
was lacking in sympathy at the be-
ginning and as he proceeded with
violent attacks upon progressive and
republican candidates the lack of
sympathy developed into open hostil-
ity' Throughout his speech, it was
not interrupted by a single hand
clap.
Near the end he assailed Eugene
Chafin. This is a pretty dry COM
munity and several members of the
audience arose and left the hall
cheering for Chafin.
The democratic ticket had a very
small following here at the outset
and it appears that the irruption of
Mr.. O'Neil has had the effect of re-

M0RRELL WORKS HARD
FOR C0NsTABLEsH|P
Has Personally Visited Nearly All
Voters in Phoenix West
Precinct

Probably no more energetic or sys-
tematic canvass has been conducted
by any candidate in the present cam
paign than that of Roy Morrell,
nominee on the democratic ticket for
constable in the west precinct of
Phoenix Not content with an I'M
usual victory at the primaries, Mr..
Morrell has continued working every
spare moment making personal visits
to practically every voter in the big
precinct and distributing thousands
of his cards.
His campaign is being conducted
along clean-cut lines. He has no
promise to make except efficiency in
office if elected, and no i'll word to
say of candidates opposing him on
other tickets. He has received suf-
ficient pledges, he believes, to insure
his election.
For several years Mr.. Morrell has
been one of the most efficient mem
bers of the Phoenix police force. He
is native of Phoenix and his rec
ord is an open book Fearless in the
discharge of his duties as an officer
courteous and obliging at all times,
he feels that in asking election at
the hands of those he would serve in
the office of constable, he can assure
all of the execution of the duties of
the office in a manner creditable to
himself and warranting the conf
dence reposed in him by those favor
ing him at the olls.-Advertisement

HUSTLER CONFESsES
WHOLESALE THEFTS
Stole So Many Cattle Could Not Keep
Track of individual Thefts and
Disposal of Booty

w 7. Scott made clean breast of
it all yesterday in Judge Phillips
chambers, in full confession of his
recent cattle rustling operations and
announced after unburdening himself
that he was going to stick to that if
he went to the neither regions next
minute"
The questioning of County Attorney
Lyman and Sheriff Jeff Adams drew
from him a story of wholesale thieving
of calves and hogs to such an extent
that he could not give a detailed ac-
count of the thefts and the disposal of
the stolen cattle Ranchers all over
the western part of the valley were
the victims of his attentions. His story
bore out on many points the statement
made by his Indian helper. Chacon.
At night the wagon was driven around
and filled with calves and hogs from
various ranches and thev were dis
posed of to a number of men, the chief
buyer being the man Rothpletz, held
by the sheriff as a receiver. This man,
defendant maintained, was not mixed
up in the business. He and his man,
Jim Chacon. were the only two who
had a hand in it,
Scott will be brought up for prelim-
mary hearing this morning at $50
o'clock in Judge Johnstone's court.
