The Bantam Cochin rooster sold at
auction at the session of the Elks lodge
last evening, the proceeds to be given to
the Red Cross brought a total of $28.S1.

much, as the plan of auction was that
whenever a man bid, he had to put up
that amount as security of his good in
tentions. The bird as finally knocked
down to Harry M. Levy brought some
thing over So but the amount of each
bid as deposited with the secretary,
put $2S.91 in to the Red Cross fund. s.

Captain Hobson became just a little
peeved last evening when people in the

noise in walking around and especially
when those who were not interested in
prohibition began leaving during the

and judging from remarks heard, others
thought so also.

"It's a shame to take the money" is
the way Tom Garfield, a former we'll
known Salem businessman and Polk
county farmer, greeted Attorney Carey
F. Martin, at one Of the big shipyards
down on the Columbia river yesterday.
When asked to explain he said the work
was so easy and the pay SO good that it
seemed to him hardly right to take the
money. He is one of the trusted Off
GERS at one of the big yards and as
usual can be counted on to more than
earn his salary. Geo. H. Grover, a for
mer Salem contractor and builder was
found at the same yard.

placed on a cash, basis. Instead of wait
ing a month for his money, the farmer
who brings his milk or cream will now
be paid as soon as it is tested, either
that day or Oh his next trip to town
Mr.. Underhill has been in the creamery
business as manager in the same build
ing for 16 years, four years for the
Commercial Creamery and 10 years for

HARTFORD COUNTY CASE MOVED,
johnson To Be Tried In Cecil County

On motion of counsel for the de-
tense, the trial of Charles Haiwadt
Johnson, confessed slayer of Major
John r. King, at the United States
Proving Grounds at Aberdeen has
been removed from Towson to Elk
ton, Cecil county. Judge Frank I.
Duncan signed the order for the
change of venue over the strenuous
protests of States Attorney Walter
Il. McComas and former State Sena-
tor William ]. Archer, for the prose
cution.
T. Scott Offutt, who is associated
with counsel for the defense made
the plea for the change. He pointed
out that when the case first came up
for trial in Hartford county it was
removed from Bel Air to Towson at
the request of the State. It's re-
moval to Towson, he said, meant
that considerable expense would
have to be undergone to get the wit
nesses present, whereas it would be
cheaper to take them to Elkton.
No date has been set for the trial
as yet, but it is thought. efforts will
be made to bring it up as soon as
possible.

Fire.
T. Littleton Hanway and J. Harry
Gibson, co-partners trading as Han
way & Gibson, at Aberdeen, have
sued the Philadelphia, Baltimore &
washington Railroad Company for
$4,000, in the Circuit Court. The
claim as filed is for the store and
store goods burned in the town of
Aberdeen on February 5, last. 1t is
alleged that the plaintiff owners OF
the property had hose stretched
across the railroad tracks and that
trains were allowed to run over the
hose, cutting it so that the plaintiffs
were deprived of the water and the
means of fighting the fire. That the
fire destroyed their goods and their
loss was the direct result of the cut
ting of the hose.
