TWO COLORED MEN DR|vING AUTOMOBILE
INSTANTLY KILLED BY EXPRESS TRAIN
ON ELECTRIC LINE" NEAR PAROLE TO-DAY

Struck by fast-moving, eastbound
express train over the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railways, just this side of Camp Par
ole station. two colored men. driving
an automobile truck. were instantly
killed shortly after o'clock this af-
ternoon.
The dead are;
Charles Brown, 55 years old, OF Har-
wood, this county; and Wax Brown, 10
years old, father and son.
Brown. who has small farm at
Harwood, was conveying load of to-
matoes to the Camp Parole canning
plant at the time of the accident. He
was driving the truck out of the South
river road down the short stretch of
the State road, to the narrow highway
that leads across the railroad tracks
to the canning plant. Neither of the
men apparently was aware of the APP
preaching express, which was a
"domble-header" and. according to the
statement made by Eugene Yeager,
motorman, they did not look up the
tracks at all.
The impact of the crash was terrific,
and the body OF Brown. who is said to
have been driving the truck, was hor-
rilly mangled. His body was drag
ged al out fifty yards down the tracks

Disney Picks Up 12 And Wilker-

MAY RE-cANvASS COUNTY

What will he the final official vote
cast in the democratic primary cleo
ton throughout the county on Mon
day. September s?
There can be9perhaps. but one ans
wer to the question. and that Is
whether or not William e. Feldmeyer.
of Annapolis, one of the Progressive"
candidates for nomination as County
Commissioner. insists upon a recount
in view of the closeness of the vote In
certain particulars and questions that
have been raised.
Mr.. Feldmeyer has filed such a pe-
tition with the Board OF Supervisors
Of Elections who sat as a board OF can
vassers on Thursday OF last week, and
II remains now whether or not the
talk OF Withdrawing the petition will
be carried into effect In the mean
time, everyone connected with the po-
Ilitieal situation is interested
Not only did the Board OF Supervis-
ors accede to the petition filed by NAH
Ion s. Disney. Organization demo-
crat. returned defeated as a candidate
for he nomination for County Com
missioner, for count of the 5O-odd
ballots cast in the First Precinct of the
Third district in the primaries of Sep
tember s. which the election officials
declined to count because OF their al
legged detection, but they recounted the
entire vote of the precinct yester-
day. The result only produces fur
ther complicated situation which prob
ably will prove a difficult one to set
tie.
Mr.. Disney who is a resident of the
Third district, petitioned the canvassx
Ing body for the county. stating his
belief that these votes would show
that he had been nominated over JOS
eph NJ. Wilkerson, also an "Organiza-
tion" candidate. The official returns
previously canvassed showed Disney's
defeat by margin OF votes, the re-
spective poll of votes being Wilker-
son, S76; Disney, S74. With Tuesdays
recount. Disney picked up IL votes
against 10 gained by Wilkerson, thus
making the poll for the whole county
a tie at $50.
Lawyers and political leaders have
argued from every angle as to the
proper course of settling the matter

MEXICO FRIENDLY TO ALIENS
carranza Government Alters Front
Toward Foreign capital-Wash-
inqton Interested.

Washington. April 5.-Prlvate and
official advices from Mexico City with
in the last few days are interpreted
as clearly indicating a sudden change
in sentiment in the republic toward
foreign investments In Mexico. and
that the coming session of congress
will clear the atmosphere of much Of
the hostility shown since the adoption
of the 1917 constitution. Diplomatic
circles and officials of the state de-
partment are much interested In this
apparent change of front, as mani
tested in newspaper editorials and In
statements by members OF the Mexl-
can congress which have been tele-
graphed here. The American oil in
terests in Mexico. 1t was learned. have
not .receded from the stand originally
taken that their vested rights In Mex
leo must be recognized and that the
anti-foreign and confscatory features
Of the new constitution must not OPP
crate ex-post facto against them.
From recent advices 1t appears the
new attitude of the Mexican people, at
last-and ii Is believed in official cir
cles that this attitude Is inspired by
the governments to recognize the
rights of the people, including foreign
ers. TO their vested rights under inter
national law.
