DR.. Charles X. Chapman was in itself
as big a sensation as the death of
young Wade. Along with Chapman
and Johnson several other well
known people were indicted, but have
never been tried, and in the develop
ment of court testimony some of the
lurid features of the affair were re-
vealed by female witnesses.
"The Prison commission has set
the hearing of these two cases on
December 18th. On inst what grounds
the pardons are asked could not be
ascertainel today because of the fact
that the petitions were not in the
Commissions office, having been TAX
en- for use by Attorney Hoop =. 1t is
expected. however. that the argu-
ments and reading of the records will
consume probably the whole of the

HOPKINS DOORS
OPEN TO TEACHERS

Prof. Edward H. Buckner, director
of the college courses for teaching
and summer courses at Johns Hop
kins University, has announced the
program for the coming vacation, a
program which has met the approval
of DR.. M Bates Stephens, State Sup
erintendent of Public Education.
Despite this approval there is said
to be a hesitancy among school teach
ars in the counties to avail themselves
of the privileges offered them to the
same extent as heretofore Among
county teachers there is an erroneous
impression that the faculty OF the
Hopkins University is seeking to in
erfere with the management of rural
schools and is aiming to control the
State public school systems. They de-
clare that all criticism OF the manage
ment of the public schools, criticism
which might jeopardize the reelection
of DR.. stephens, originated in the uni
versity, criticism which the heads Of
the university deny

stationed in Haiti. the little Republic
in the West Indies, is William l..
Williams, son of Mrs. w. S. Williams,
of Chesapeake Beach. Calvert county,
according TO an official report recently
issued by Marine Corps Headquarters,
az Washington.
The report also shows that Private
Williams. who enlisted at Washington
in November. 1918, has recently been
promoted.
The Marines are preserving order in
Haiti and suppressing the rowing
bands of bandits who interfere with
the industry of the nation. Not long
ago the bandits made a raid on Port
au Prince, the capitol, and were
driven off with heavy losses
Travellers returning from that
country say that the Marines have
been largely instrumental in bringing
about peaceful conditions and that
business of all kinds is in a flourish
ing condition.
The report also states that Private
Williams is stationed with the First
Provisional Brigade of Marines at
Port au Prince.

able cleverness and was given an

denly as it has, is shock to her many
