Choked Baby To Death.
Liquor Probably Cause OF Faith
cr's Rash Deed.

Douglass Shipley, farm hand residing
with his family near Unity, Montgomery
county, was arrested last Friday night
soon after he had choked to death his in
FAINT baby girl, Sarah Elizabeth Shipley.
According to reports published, Mrs.
Shipley voluntarily testified that her hus-
band was somewhat under the influence
of liquor and declared that he had tortur-
ed the baby practically all night by max
ing it sit up on the floor alongside his bed
and slapping it every time it nodded and
that at daybreak he grabbed the helpless
infant by the throat and choked it three
times, the last time until it turned black
in the face and its tongue protruded.
She asserted tn It throughout the night
she did not make a move toward sum-
moning assistance or protecting the child
for fear her husband would carry out
threat to kill her if she did SO, but that
when she saw the little one turned black
in the face and realized for the first time
that it might be killed, then she fled
from the house in her bare feet and ran
across field and through woods until
she reached the home of Artemus Griffith,
where she telephoned to Deputy Sheriff
Mareen Darby When she and Deputy
Darby reached the house, she said, the
baby was dead, although its body was
still warm.
States Attorney Bouic, of Rockville,
has in his possession statement signed
by Shipley in which the defendent ad-
mts that he struck and choked the baby,
but declares that he had no intention of
killing it.

Are YOu Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty. That
is because they neglect their liver and
bowels. Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and will not only feel
younger but look younger. When troub-
led with constipation or billiousness take
Chamberlain Tablets. They are intend
ed especially for these ailments and are
excellent. Easy to take and most agree
able in effect. Obtainable everywhere.

upho|ds Tax Board.
Court OF Appeals Decides That
Commission Can Proceed
With Reassessment.


The Court of Appeals Saturday hand
ed down lengthy decision, written by
Judge Burke, in which the authority of
the Tax Commission to condnct general
reassessment of property is upheld.
The question was before the court up
on appeal from the Circuit Court for
Frederick county, in which Judges Urner,
Peter and Worthington had decided that
the commission lacked authority, because
the people in 1915 adopted an amendment
to the State constitution providing for
separate classifcations of property for
purposes of taxation, and the Legislature
Of 1916 failed to enact measures giving
the Tax Commission the machinery neces-
sary to carry out the intent of the amend
ment.
Judge Burke's opinion stated that,
while Legislature alone could provide the
classifcations, and while the last Legis-
lature failed to do that, ''it does not fol-
low as result of it's failure of duty in
this respect that any valid laws relating
to assessments may not be awaited of for
that purpose. The authorities appear to
be uniform in support of the proposition
that the failure of the Legislature to dis
charge duty of the character imposed
by this amendment leaves the valid and
existing laws, not in conflict with any OF
its provisions, in full force and effect. y
That was the contention of Attorney
General Richie, who went into the case
for the State, with Edward M. Hammond
counsel for the Commission, when it
went to the Court of Appeals. Mr.. Rit-
chic stated, after he examined the facts
and law in the case, that he was conf
dent the Court of Appeals would reverse
the lower courts.
The Tax Commission Immediately will
complete its arrangements for the reass-
essment. Most of the machinery had
been provided when the litigation arose,
and very little will have to be done. The
commission expects to complete reas-
sessment before cold weather sets in.
One reason tHaI lHe COIll VI App'aio
was asked to hear the case before the
r. gular October term was that the Com
missoners feared 1t would be impossible
to assess the mountain property during
the winter.
The State officials confidently expect
the new assessment to make large in
crease in the taxable basis of the State
and consequently big increase in the
revenues, and also to do much toward
equalizing the taxable basis as between
the several counties and as between all
the counties and Baltimore city. 1t has
been VIGOROUSLY true that some of the
counties were very much underassessed,
thereby causing injustice to other coun-
ties and to the city, for all paid the same
rate of State taxation. There will be no
reassessment in the city, the commss-
ion having held that property there is
under system of constant reassesslnent
and it being recognized that the average
assessment is not less than 80 per cent.

approach those OF butter" in the same
localities where butter is made and
sold These deputies are full Of good
intentions. but their ignorance fully
equals their good will In principle,
the name of margarine should be but
