"Cronan's action met with sharp
criticism by members Of the depart

that his assignment to Guam was q
disciplinary measure. as he had sought
q detail with the destroyer flotilla OF
the Atlantic fleet. and his action was
interpreted as having some connec-
ton with this situation.
Friends OF Cronan, rallying to his
support, said he had written testi-

ENDS life WITH
BULLET
L.. W. BEVANS, OF UNION BRIDGE
SUICIDE In CUMBERLAND.

Still clutching a 32-calibre revolver
in his right hand and with blood
streaming from his mouth and nos
trils, the body of e. w. Bevans, aged
IS, of Union Bridge, Md, was found
Wednesday morning near the We'll
lington Glass House Switch, of the
Cumberland Electric Railway.
Among the papers found on Bevans
was note written by baby son,
Charles Bevans, who resides with his
mother at Union Bridge, Md. The
note was addressed to Santa Claus.
and evidently had been sent to the
father shortly before Christmas.
It is said that Bevans' wife and
family of several children live at
Union Bridge, but he had been in
Cumberland for more than a year. 1t
is thought he had been out of employ
ment and had become despondent. The
local lodges of Knights of Pythias
have taken charge of the body and
will have it taken to his home at
Union Bridge.

Believes I'm Equal Taxation.

K see through various county
papers, suggestions and counter ar
guments about taxes and tax collec-
tors, and think it might, with pro-
priety suggest something from our
own standpoint to-wit-equal tax
alton No furniture exemption and a
a county tax collector, | believe the
laws should be 50 changed in Carroll
county as to permit man being
elected and appointed by the
County commissioners to be known
as county tax collector at salary of
$1,000 per annum, instead or IA col
lectors at about $4,000 as now with
its varying perplexities. Neither do
believe the tax should be collected
by our county treasurer with an ad-
vance in salary and thereby compel
all taxpayers to 60 to the county seat
70 pay same, and said treasurer, to
have assistance, with an advance Of
probably as much as a county collec-
tor that I suggest, who could call on
all districts at specified days, say two
days TO district. Those who would
not pay their taxes at these times
would of course be compelled to come
80 his Office To pay same.
