BROWN SHOULD
GO FREE OR HANG

Governor Ritchie was asked what
he had to say about the report from
Washington to the effect that the con
victcd negro murderer, Henry A.
Brown, who killed Naval Academy
nurse, was to escape the gallows and
be given life sentence on the rec
ommendation of Acknowledgement
Daugherty.
The Governor replied:
81 have not heard anything
from Attorney General Daugherty,
though | have been expecting to hear
from him. II seems to me that if
the sentence of the court in the case
of Brown is to be changed. the At
torney will let the people of
Maryland know what the reasons for
il are.
"The case has been discussed as
though there might be a reasonable
doubt about the guilt of Brown and
as though he had been convicted on
circumstantial evidence alone. But
the man confessed the crime. If he is
innocent he should be set free; if he is
guilty he should be hanged. But it
should not be forgotten that he con-
fessed."

KEEN PITCHED
GREAT GAME
Twirled For Salisbury Monday
And Shut Out Princess Anne
BY Score of 3 too

4 great many Snow Hill people
went to Princess Anne Monday after
noon to witness the baseball game be-
tween the Princess Anne and Sails
bury teams. Victor keene, who for
merly lived in Snow Hill, was in the
box for Salisbury. and he was op-
posed by pitcher secured by Prin-
cess Anne from one of the big league
teams.
keene pitched in mastery style,
tanning twelve batSmen, and allowing
only six hits. He had almost perfect
control, and his deceptive drops, daz-
zling speed, and wide curves, had the
Princess Anne batters hypnotized. The
final score was to o in favor of Sails
bury, and there was joy in the Sails
bury camp that night.
EyewitnesseS of the game said that
keene gave Il remarkable exhibition
of pitching. One enthusiastic fan de-
clared that he believed keene could
curve the ball around the corner of
house, while another said his fast
ones looked no larger than walnut
when they crossed the plate. That
Keenc is a great pitcher, and that he
has brilliant future in baseball be-
fore him. is the opinion of many keen
observers OF the national pastime.
He WAS recently offered large sum
TO sign contract with the New York
Americans In addition to bonus
for signing, he was offered good
SALARY. and aS the Yankees are strong
contenders for the championship in
the American League, the prospect of
sharing in the receipts of World
Series was held out as another big
inducement. keene refused to sign.
as he wishes 10 retain his rank as an
amateur in order to play on the
Varsity team of Maryland University
next year The New York Yankees
will offer keene contract next
spring, but as Ty Cobb, manager of
the Detriot team, and other big lea
que managers have their eye on him,
il is too early to predict where he
will land. One thing seems GER
tainity. and. that is, that Keene will
go up to the big league next year, and
we venture the prediction that he will
make good.
In Mondays game with Belair,
Keene pitched the last two innings
for Snow Hill, and gave the local
fans an opportunity to see him in
action. He was given a rousing re-
ccption when he went in the pitchers
box, and it was familiar sight to
see him working on the Snow Hill
diamond. For three years Keene was
the pitching star of the Snow Hill
High School. and his name is one to
conjure with in these parts. In the
two innings that he pitched, Keene
did not exert himself to any great
extent. He was given good support,
and was not scored on. II is expected
that Keene will pitch one or two full
games for Snow Hill before the close
of the season.

Morgenthau's Attack
Arrogant, Zionists Say
Editorial. in New Palestine AS.
sails Article as Work of
Ignorant Man

The attack on Zionism made by
Henry Morgenthau III the July issue of
The Worlds Work is replied to in an
editorial published in the July issue
of The New Palestine, the official organ
of the Zionist organization in America.
Under the title Arrogant Ignorance,
Mr.. Morgenthau is assailed as a
colossally ignorant man, whose AFRO
gance is possible only because of his
ignorance.
"Any student of modern Jewish life, >
reads the article, could tear the ar
tiele to shreds. Mr. Morgenthau's So
luton of the whole question is based
on egotism and isolation from the
misery, wretchedness and abnormality
of Jewish life. He believes that all
jews should do what, in his imagina-
ton, all Jews in America are doing.
He thinks they are making themselves
comfortable. amassing wealth under
free democratic conditions and cult
waiting their manners in order to be-
come true gentlemen
aThat there are serious difficulties in
the way of doing this for the Jews in
Poland, Ukraine, Rumania and Soviet
Russia, where the large majority OF
Jewish people lives, does not seem to
concern him very much, because he is
safely harbored in the United States
and finds no hardship in the way of
pushing himself forward politically or

The Senate conferees-Senators poin-
dexter, Hale and Swanson--held meet
ing this afternoon and, despite the
TACT they object seriously to some
phases of the House action on amend
ments, decided to report to the Senate
IN favor of accepting the House action,
inasmuch as the new fiscal year opens
tomorrow.
Opportunity was not offered in the
Senate to bring up the bill for the
reason the conference report on the
peace resolution was pending. More.
over, it developed there would be a
sharp opposition among Senator'S to the
bill as the House adopted it.
Pacific Coast Senators are displea sed
over the manner in which the House
knocked out the amendments looking
to additional naval facilities on the
west coast. Senator King, of Utah, is
prepared to protest over the reductions
made by the House as to airplanes, air
plane carriers and submarines. SEN
ator Smoot is displeased because of the
fact that the retired pay of reserve
officers and men retired for disability
has been made the same as that of the
regular navy, and the rank held by Off
GERS on retirement is to be the same
as when separated from the service.
He maintains this will cost the govern
ment heavily.
These and other controversial feat
ures involved in the bill make it un-
certain when it will be disposed of.
If the Senate rejects the House amend
ments or some of them, the bill may
go TO conference again.
The Borah disarmament amendment
is not involved in the dispute and it
will stand and go into effect when the
bill finally passes.
The naval appropriation act, in force
for the fiscal year ending to-day, ex-
