The Circuit Court

The Grand Jury adjourned last Fri
day after being in session for four and
a half days, the shortest session known
in the history of the Court. Their re-
port follows:
To the Honorable Judges Of the Cir
cult Court for Prince Georges County
We, the Grand Jury for the April,
1915, term of the Circuit Court, beg
leave to submit the following report:
The Grand Jury has been in session
Al days, has examined Sc cases, sc wit
nesses, made % presentments and
found % true bills. a few cases failed
of presentment on account of lack of
sufficient evidence to justify successful
prosecution. We visited the Jail in a
body and found rs persons confined
therein, 6 white males, Is colored males
and colored females. We found the
interior of the building in a good sani-
tary condition, clean and well taken
care of, credit to those in charge No
complaint was received from the pris-
oners as to their food and care. We
also found that 20 modern swinging
cots have been installed, and we found
the same satisfactory to this body.
We herein append the report of the
committee appointed to visit the Aims
House. Our attention has been indir-
ectly called to the numerous forest
fires in various sections of the county,
but there was no evidence offered be-
fore us as would warrant US in taking
any action in the matter but we would
earnestly suggest the proper officers
Ill IN flo 4
report the result of their findings to the
next Grand Jury.
We desire to express our apprecia-
ton of the assistance rendered us by
the Sheriff and his deputies in the per-
Torrance of our duties, no time having
been lost by any failure on their part
to secure the attention of witnesses,
the Clerk of the Court and his assist
ants deserve commentator for the
efficient discharged of their duties.
The States Attorney has cheerfully
and promptly performed the duties of
his Office and aided US in promptly COM
pleting our work.
We are glad to report that there is
some improvement in the body of the
constables in the dischargment of the ir
duties. as two constables did report
certain violations of the law in their
respective districts.
The bal iff to the Grand Jury deserves
our thanks for the very courteous man
ner in which he has discharged his
duties.
In view of numerous violations of
the law at or near Chesapeake juno
ton, we earnestly suggest that the
County Commissioners be again mott
fled to arrange with the Chesapeake
Beach, w. B. & A. and Washington
Electric Railway Company, to employ a
suitable sworn officer to be stationed at
the District Line with authority to en-
force the law.
And now having performed the work
devolving upon us, to the best of our
ability, we respectfully request that we
be permitted to adjourn, to the further
orders of the Court.

Croome Items.

In spite of the windy March weather
our farmers have been making great
progress and it looks as though they
mean to have crops this year that will
surpass all others of previous years.
Our whole community was indeed
shocked and grieved to learn of the
death of Mr.. James T. DeVaugh,
which occurred on Saturday night,
April 10, at 1890 O'Clock. He was
taken suddenly i'll with pneumonia last
Sunday night, April 18th, and from the
first there was not much hope for his
recovery. Mr.. DeVaughn has been
resident of Croome and its vicinity for
many years and all who knew him
liked him. He had many friends; who
by their daily inquiry over the phone or
by calls made at his home, showed
that they were deeply concerned over
his illness. Our community has lost
an excellent citizen, one who was ever
kind and agreeable and who was greatly
respected and admired by all who ever
met him. His funeral service was
conducted by the Rev. W. L. Haupt,
on Monday at IL A. M. at St. Thomas
Church and was largely attended. The
floral tributes were many and beauti
full. His body was placed by that of
his little son who departed this life ten
years ago.
Mr.. DeVaughn left widow and five
children; Mrs. Harry Tayman, Mr.. A.
Preston DeVaughn, Mrs. Albert Cross
Mrs. Freddie Cross and Master Ralph
DeVaughn. We extend to the family
our heartfelt sympathy in this their
great sorrow.
We are glad to know that the family
Mr. Percival Burroughs is recovering
from an attack of the grip.
We extend to Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
Duley congratulations upon the birth
of a little daughter.
Mr.. A. B. Duley and daughter
Louise, spent the last week end in
Washington with Mrs. A. B. Duley and
little daughter who have recently left
Providence Hospital that city, Both
mother and daughter were getting
along nicely.
Miss Mildred G. Warner of Salisbury
Md, and Miss Clara H. Covington of
Pocomoke City. Md, were guests at
the home of DR.. and Mrs. w. H. Glib
bons during Easter week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Preston Hook have TAX
en- up their residence for the summer
at "Half-Pone,' beautiful old home
on the Patuxent River. We are glad
to have them in our neighborhood again
and extend to them a hearty welcome
among use.
Miss Blanche Ogle and Miss Mary
Ogle spent the Easter Holidays with
their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Ogle.
Mr.. Charles Gibbons has returned to
Washington College, Chestertown,
after spending his Easter Recess with
his parents Dr. and Mrs. w. H. Glib
bons.
The road-menders are also busy
around our neighborhood and for their
good work we think they deserve a
word of praise and we hope they will
have much success.

papers also discuss the possibility OF
war more frankly. While these Ger

What is Expected.

Long acquainted as this govern
ment has been with the character of
the Imperial German government and
with the high principles Of equity by
which they have in the past been
actuated and guided, the government
of the United States can not believe
that the commanders of the vessels
which committed these acts of law
lessness did so except under a mis-
apprehension of the orders issued
by the Imperial German naval author
tiles. 1t takes for granted that. at
least within the practical possibilities
of every such case the commanders
even of submarines were expected to
do nothing that would involve the
lives of noncombatants or the safety
of neutral ships, even at the cost of
failing of their object of capture or
destruction. 1t confidently expects,
therefore. that the Imperial German
government will disavow the acts of
which the government of the United
States complains: that they will make
reparation so far as reparation is
possible for injuries which are with
out measure. and that they will take
immediate steps to prevent the re-
currence of anything so obviously
subversive of the principles of war
fare for which the Imperial German
government has in the past so wisely
and so firmly contenSed.
