Legislation Agreed Upon And Resolu-
tions Adopted

The citizens melting called for Mon
day to discuss proposed legislation
with the Legislators-elect from Cecil
county, was largely attended, the
Court room being well filled. Hugh
w. Caldwell, of Chesapeake City,
was made Chairman of the meeting
and Alan d. Price Secretary.
Upon motion of Senator-elect Will
liams, the Courthouse question was
taken up. Joshua Clayton, Esq, sug-
gested that Frederick T. Haines, Esq,
chairman of the Courthouse commit
tee, be sent for to make a report of
that committee. While waiting Mr..
Williams stated he is opposed to any
bill carrying a bond issue without
submitting said question to vot of
the people. Mr.. Clayton said that if
that is the case there would be no use
of further discussion, as any bond is
sue in this county would be voted
down by non-taXpaying and irres-
ponsible voters, who had no interest
in civic betterment, and quoted in
stances of bond submission in Elkton.
Mr.. Williams defended his position,
that he did not consider the delegates
the people but only part of the peo-
pie, and that the people should say
whether to issue bonds or not.
The new County Commissioners bill
was taken up upon motion of DR.. +.
IN. Crawford, and or motion of Will
liam M. Pogue was considered section
by section.
Mr.. Williams, who had read the bill,
then reread the first section, providing
for the division of the county into
three commissioners districts, and
providing that after 1915 one COM
missioner be elected each year and
for a term of three years; commits
sioner for the first commissioners dis
trict in 1915; in the second commits
sioners district in 1917, and in the
third commissioners district in 1916.
Questioned as to how this would af-
feet terms, Of present commissioners,
-plefC Nh the delegation explained
bilf Y was not yet compile, but
,ot retty shorten the term OF ahy
sio, ler, but would lengthen the
O, and ne commissioner year.
IA t. Tucker stated that counties
progress were under a road
\ er law, and that the Allegany
y A providing for bipartisan control
Moads was a good one, and advocat-
our COMMISSIONS, two from each
fling party, instead of three. After
bf@ 4. discussion by DR.. e. N. Craw-
ford, Abel C. Cameron, Joseph Cou-
don. of j., and Rev. William H. Briggs
Tucker moved an amendment to
four commissioners instead of
>. Delegate Harvey Davis thought
Ia bipartisan board of four would
u on too many questions. Charles
Benjamin asked if the proposed
lnge would be unconstitutional. The
7 lendment was then voted upon and
j. feated.
section 1 was then adopted as ori-
.hally autlined, and the meeting ad-
mrned for lunch

KENT NEGROES TO
BE TRIED IN fLKTON

Kent county has been in much ex-
citement this week over the arrest
and trial of the negroes who killed
and robbed James A. Coleman, far
mer of that section, as told in Last
weeks Wing. Of the five negroes
su: pected of being implicated IN tie
id,nder two only Norman Mabel and
Jan Paraway)j were arrest Il i.y
ne county officers and Baltimore city
detectives who had been working on
the case. Mabel and PARKWAY both
of whom are under tw enty-one years
of age were placed in the Jail
at Chestertown, and under a grill
ling examination made confession
of thee rime. After seeing Mr.. Cole
man displaying the money in the
store at Melitota, they hurriedly left
and waylaid along the road by
woods some few hundred yards from
the village. Mabel stopped and held
the horse, while PARKWAY leaping in
to the buggy struck Coleman over the
head with an iron bar, rendering him
unconscious. Mabel then took his
purse. The officers found the blood
stained bar in the bushes by the road
side; also found Mabess coat stained
with humna blood.
When news of the negroes arrest
| and confession went out over the
county an excited mob gathered for
lynching Saturday night. In spite of
the warning of States Attorney Vick-
ers that they would get themselves in
trouble and in the face of the plead
ings of Judge James A Pearce, the
mob broke in the doors of the Jail and
were only halted and turned back
when the Sheriff and his deputies
started firing above their heads. Sum
day morning the Governor sent IL
special officers to Chestertown, who
with the local officers, guarded the
Jail and patroled the streets, permit
ting no crowds to gather.
On Monday the Circuit Court,
Judges Constable, Adkins and Hop
per all being present, recony aned the
Grand Jury. Judge Constable charg-
ed them to sift the evidence in this
case of great Importance and while
they were expected to act promptly
they were not expected to be swayed
by public clamor. w. w. Hubbard,
president of the Hubbard Fertilizer
Co., is foreman of the Grand Jury.
On Thursday the Grand Jury re-
ported and the two negroes were in
dicted. The Court appointed Herbert
f. Perkins, ESQ. to defend them.
Judge Constable also said the Court
wished the Gradn Jury To INVESTIGATES
the mob's attack on the Jail Saturday
NIGHT. declaring that the Court felt
that the instigators of the ATTEMPT
ed lynching Should be summarily
dealt with. A short time later the
Grand Jury ordered Sheriff Brown
and Deputy Bolton to get the names
of those Who were in the lvnching
partv in order that thew might he in.

More Pay For Rural Carriers

The 10000 rural mail carriers in the
United States won their fight before
the House Committee on Postoffices
for increased pay.
The committee amended the Postal
Appropriation bill so as to add $50 a
year to the pay of each carrier. The
increase will total $2,000,000 year.
In the last three years so or more
bills granting increase to carriers
have been introduced, but they never
were reported by the house committee.

Held For Game Violations

Capt. E. Brice, of Betterton, was
arrested recently by State Game
Warden Curley, at the instance of
the Taylor's Island Ducking Club,
near Perrymans, for alleged viola
tions of the State and Federal game
laws.
Three charges are preferred against
him-one for killing swan, which is
violation of the new Federal game
law; second, for chasing ducks within
one mile of the Western Shore with a
motorboat, which is a violation of the
State law and carries a penalty of
500 fine and confiscation of boats;
third, for trespassing.
The Federal game law forbids the
killing of swan for five years and
carries a severe penalty.
Persons owning ducking shores are
especially interested in the outcome
of the trial, which will be held SONY
time this week. I
For the past two years operat
of launches have made life misey

SAVED THE JEWELS
By MARY LYLE WARNER.

In the most critical situation of her
young life, Alma Waite gazed longing
" at the engagement ring upon her
finger and wondered II she would ever
see its giver again.
where 10 he, and what ie to become
Of mel" was the constant burden OF
her thoughts.
A knight errant brave and true,
Adrian Bond would have been speedily
coming to the rescue Of his lady love
in distress, but that grim visaged war
had presented its ugly menace and
rude clamors shook the common
wealth.
Her father and mother were at
Paris. There, too. were the Bonds,
making the European trip with their
closest friends. It was strange cir
cumstance that had taken Alma away
from them. 1t appeared that a half
brother of Mrs. Waite lived in little
town in Belgium, near the German
border. He had invited the family to
pay him a visit, but their plans would
not admit Of it. Then he expressed
wish to see Alma, who had been named
after his dead wife. He was fervent
in his appeal and half-minded to give
up his business and return to America,
he said. The result was that Alma
took a quick trip from Paris and found
herself an honored guest in the splen-
did but lonely home of her half-uncle.
Zephern Dacre was diamond mer-
chant, conducting his business by trav-
cling from country to country Alma
was enchanted with the kindly way in
which he treated her. She was to
have remained with her relative only
three days, but Mr. Dacre made up his
mind to close up his business, accom-
pany her to Paris and return with the
family to America and take up a per-
manent residence there.
Directly upon the heels of this came
declaration Of war. Mr.. Dacre has
tened his preparations to get out OF
the country. He urged Alma to re-
main indoors, for the community sur
