At Bristol, Mr.. Lloyd George, addressing

Tome School Sues

Claiming that the almost constant
blasting of stone has greatly injured
its valuable property and caused ply
sica! discomfort to it's teachers, Off
GERS and students, the Jacob Tome In
stitute at Port Deposit, has filed a bill
of complaint in the Circuit Court of
Harfard county, against the Casparis
Stone Company, which owns quarries
near Havre de Grace. The bill was
filed by William S. Evans. of the Elk
ton bar.
The bill recites that the Casparis
Stone Company is a corporation of
the State of Ohio and is engaged in
nuarrving stone about five miles from
the school; that for about four years
1t has used large quantities of powder.
dynamite or other explosives in dis
charging the stone at intervals be-
tween 5 o'clock a. m. and 9 o'clock D.
m. during nearly every day in the
week; that the blasting has greatly
deDreciated and injured the plain
titf's property and damaged and made
it undesirable for the purposes to
which it has been devoted and dedi-
Gated.
The court is asked to enioin and
strictly prohibit the blasting at unrea-
sonable hours and times, and in such
way and manner as will produce loud
noises. No date has been set for the
hearing of the case.

Cecil Boy Sees West

Mr.. Wallace Williams. eldest son of
the Editor of the WHIG, is spending
some weeks working in the great har.
vest fields of the West. In a recent
letter home he comments on farm me-
thods as follows:
The Gleasons have about four
thousand acres in wheat, most of
which is land that has been in cultiva-
tioh Tor ten to twenty years. They
raise nothing but wheat except enough
oats and barley for horse feed. and
they burn the straw. The only grass
Is the original Buffalo-grass and thev
cut some of it for hay, but they
never feed hay except when the
ground is covered with snow as this
grass lives all winter, and they seed
wheat early and pasture it until
spring. Burning the straw and not
using any form of fertilizer is rapidly
depicting the soil and the Canada
thistle is something fierce; their svs-
tenn OF farming only gives it every
chance to. spread and it looks as if it
would ruin the country before MANY
years longer.
AS far as | can discover these con-
ditions hold true all over the grain
belt of Kansas. The wheat crop in
Kansas is estimated by the local peo-
PIE at little more than half of last
years crop; large sections have been
totally ruined by a series of hail
storms and where the storms have
done little damage the heads have
developed poorly.

Governor Not A Candidate

In statement issued Thursday
at Annapolis, Governor Goldsborough
thus eliminated himself as candidate
Tor Republican nomination:
'Fours years ago | was unanimous
~ nominated for the office of governor
of Maryland by the Republican party
and subsequently elected.
Many citizens have suggested that
l again be a candidate for that office.
A most painstaking survey of party
conditions in the state clearly shows
that there is no possible chance of
securing such nomination by even a
close approach to practical unanimity,
and. therefore, have determined not
to contest for this honor in bitter
primary.
Il am most mindful and deeply ap-
preclative of the public honors which
have been bestowed upon me, and |
trust that my friends and public gen
orally will believe that every public
duty which | have been called upon to
perform has been met with fidelity and
with such measure of ability as | was
capable of giving.
Whatever political ambition | may
have had has been satisfied through
the loyal support of my party, my ap-
probation of which is beyond express
sion, and knowing that its unity and
power will be impaired by a heated
primary contest, | therefore, am un-
willing to take any step which may
tend to injure its chances in the COM
ing election"

MURDER NEAR
PORT DEPOSIT

Tony Marino, an Italian, about SO
years of age, formerly employed at
the Keystone Stone quarries, near
Port Deposit, is in Elkton Jail await
ing the September Court, when he will
be tried for the murder of Louis di
Crescenzio. On Friday afternoon of
last week, when the workmen of the
quarries came home from work, they
found Louis dead in his shack with
four bullet wounds in his body. The
officials were at once notified and
States Attorney Constable, Sheriff
Morgan and Coroner Dean hurried to
the scene. They found that Marino
had left for Reading, Pa, on the day
of the murder. That Sam Morese and
his wife Mary, had gone also and were
suspected of having gone with Marino.
Warrants were thereupon sworn out
for all three.
Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff
Reynolds went to Reading and
promptly located the suspected par
ties in the Italian quarter of that city.
Sunday night the house was raided,
and Marino and Mr.. and Mrs. Marese
taken into custody. Marino confessed
the crime, but exonerated the other
parties. The murderer was brought
to Elkton Monday evening, but Mar
ese and his wife were left in charge of
the Reading authorities.
The confession of Marino is that he
had become infatuated with Mrs. Mar
ese, and that di Crescenzio had re-
monstrated with him. When the Mar
eses prepared to leave for Reading on
Friday Marino took them and their
luggage to Havre de Grace and then
went back to the quarry to change
his clothes, intending to accompany
them. Crescenzio again advised him
not to go with Mrs. Marese, and Mar
ino told him if he would give him his
pay check he would not do so. Cres-
cenzio refused and Marino drew a re-
volver and demanded it. Crescenzio
handed over the check, at the point of
the weapon. but as soon as Marino put
the weapon back in his pocket Crap
pied with him and tried to recover the
check, at the same time calling for
hen. Unable to break Crescenzio's
hold. Marino again drew the revolver
and after firing shot into the floor
fired the other four shots into Cres-
cenzio's BODY. and when he fell ran
eway. Joined the Mareses at Havre de
Grace ord went TO Reading with them.
Marino described where he had
thrown the weapon and il was recov-
cred Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff Rey-
nolds.
