NEW STATE POLICE
FORCE NOW ON DUTY
.POCOMOKE CITY Is A
GREAT MULE MARKET
Two More Sales Advertised To
Take Place Here In The Next
Two Weeks.

Those who seem to know, say that
Pocomoke City is one of the greatest
mule markets in this section of the
country. We are inclined to believe
that this assertion is correct if one is
to judge by the number of sales that
have been made here of late. Already
this season five carloads have been
disposed of at public auction, to say
nothing of those that have been sold
privately by our local dealers. And
now we are advertising two more
sales to take place within the next
two weeks.
On Saturday next G. C. Chinn &
McCarty Brothers will sell another
car load at Townscnd's stables in this
city, and the Saturday after, being
the first Saturday in March, Mr.. Joe
Kindig will also sell another load.
These gentlemen have all experienced
good business here this sason and
their return surely evidences the fact
that they like to do business with our
people. All of their sales have been
we'll attended and the best of it all is
that their stock, fine in quality, has
brought fair prices.
If you are in the market for such
stock we advise you to read their ad-
vertisements in another column of
this issue and acquaint yourselves
with the dates and other facts cou-
corning the sales.

Freight And Passenger Ser
vice For Entire Peninsula
Is Well In Sight.
EVERYBODY BOOST
THIS ENTERPRISE

For some time freight and pas
Senger bus line to connect all the
counties of the Eastern Shore with
the great city of Baltimore has been
talked of and it seems now that plans
for the enterprise are well under way
and unless something unforeseen hap
pens the people of the Eastern Shor
will see the consurlmation of the
project before many months have
passed. Many of the most prominent
business men of the State are back of
the enterprise and it is said also
that number of outside capitalists
have denoted their intention to give
the matter their assistance also.
In speaking of the enterprise one OF
our exchanges says "The proposed
motor transportation for the Eastern
Shore of passengers and freight, as
proposed by the Shore Transit Line,
Inc, which will operate between Elk
ton, Md, and Salisbury, and from
Salisbury to Ocean City via Berlin,
Snow Hill, Pocomoke City, Crisfeld,
Westover, Marion, Princess Anne to
Salisbury, is assuming point of re-
atty, it is said, and those who advo-
cate the motor transportation say
that the line will be in operation for
both passengers and freight by April
first.
This will be good news to all Eas-
tern Shoremen. Transportation in
this section has been almost entirely
overlooked of late. No section in this
or any other State, where the inter
ests are as great, is as badly neglect
ed as is the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Virginia. We have rail-
road which is said to be the best pay
ing one in the country when its length
is concerned. and still the passenger
and freight facilities get worse and
worse every year. 1t seems impos-
sible for this great corporation to
have opposition in the way of another
railroad, but it is possible for them to
have motor bus competition. This is
surely better than no opposition at
all and it is to be hoped that if the
new enterprise does start it will have
that substantial support that will
spell success in every particular. 9th
er sections have bus lines that pay
and it does seem that the Eastern
Shore would furnish business enough
to keep an enterprise of the kind on
its feet and make it pay good divi
dend to its operators.
Let every Eastern Shoreman be
booster for this new project and by
his or her every word and deep help
push it to a successful issue. 1t is
Just these kind of enterprises that we
are in need of and we will never oc-
cupy our just and proper place in the
doings of our State until we have
them.
A number of gentlemen from Bal
timore, Washington, Salisbury and
other points were in our town on
Thursday last looking over the situa-
ton and consulting with our business
men in reference to the proposed
plans. No definite action was taken
by our people but many of them think
well of the enterprise.

Mr.. Sidney L. Bunting
Under A Specialist

Mr.. Sidney l.. Bunting, one Of our
we'll known and much respected citi-
zens, who has been in poor health for
some time, left on Sunday last for
Baltimore where he is under the care
of the noted specialist, DR.. Frieden-
valid. We hope that the specialist
will be able to give him the desired
relief and that he will soon return to
his family and friends entirely cured
of his ailment.

M. E. Church Holds
"Valentine" Tea

The Valentine Tea given by the
Junior Aid of the M. E. Church on
Monday night was an occasion of rare
enjoyment. This was held in the Sun
day School room of the church and a
most interesting program was render
ed. Special music was furnished and
other forms of entertainment which
were highly enjoyed by all. The gen.
erous silver offering at the door also
contributed largely to the success of
the evening.

Child ASSAULTED and
FIENDISHLY MURDERED
Madison, N. j., Girl Stabbed
Is Times, Throat Cut
and Heart Pierced.

Madison, N. j., Oct. T-Pierced by
25 knife wounds, apparently the work
of a maniac, the body of Janet Law
renee, II year old girl, was found
early today concealed behind a log
in Kluxez woods near here. Her throat
had been slashed and her heart
pierced.
The child was reported missing yes
return from the home of a neighbor,
Mrs. Joseph Sandt, where she had
been caring for the Sandt children.
At that time the girls younger
brother was sent to find out what was
OBTAINING her. Searching parties were
organized when he reported his sis
ter had started for home several
hours before.
County Detective Edward Drenna
after going over the scene of the
crime declared he had several clues
which might lead to the early arrest
of a suspect. ...r.
After the body had been brought
here Lieut.. w. j. Ryan of the Madi-
son police declared that the murder
had been preceded by criminal as
sault.
A light haired youth seen loiter-
ing about the vicinity early in the
afternoon is being sought in the be-
lief that he may shed light on the
Identity of the girls assailant. 1t was
said no suspicion was attached to him
because he was seen to leave the vi
cinity going toward Floral Park, in
the opposite direction from Kluxez
woods.
A handkerchief found knotted
tightly around the girls neck is be-
lieved to have been used to choke
little Janet into silence. None of the
residents Of the vicinity heard any
outcry.
A peculiar knot, used to bind rose
bushes and twine, said by the po-
lice to be used only in greenhouses
of which there are several in the vi
cinity are the clues which the mur-
derer left behind him.
The twine was used to tie the little
girls hands behind her after she was
silenced by the handkerchief about
her neck before being dragged from
the street to the woods, only a hun
dred yards from her home in the fash
ionable Ridgedale avenue district.
The girls father, j. w. Lawrence,
an accountant for the Lackawanna
railroad, told detectives he was GER
tain his child was waylaid on the
sidewalk while returning from a

Specific Charge OF Ac-
ceptmg One Bribe OF
$1,000 Is Lodged
Against Former En-
forcement Agent

Hartford, Oct 7.-Thomas 7. Nc
Auliffe, late federal prohibition en-
forcement officer In Connecticut re-
mained in Hartford Jail last night,
unable to obtain $4,000 in bail which
was necessary to permit him to be
free pending hearing on the charge
of accepting a bribe as a federal Of
fcer. He was arrested late yesterday
after conference in which q. S. At
torney E. L. Smith was the chief fig-
ure and at which was present States
Attorney II. NJ. Alcorn, who had pre-
viously secured McAuliffe's arrest on a
bench warrant on charge such as is
now preferred by Attorney Smith
Held I'm Hartford JaH.
Counsel for the accused has said
that it seemed unlikely friends would
come forward a second tine and fur
nish bail. He asked q. s. Commits
sioner Corbett to commit McAulffre to
the New Haven jail. but 20 this U. S.
Attorney Smith replied that while 1t
was in the commissioners power to
name the Jail there seemed to be no
precedent, and for various reasons he
objected to the prisoner going to the
New Haven jail. Commissioner Cor
bett refused the request.
Is Now Federal Case.
With McAuliffe a federal prisoner
the new charge takes precedence over
that brought by the states attorney.
AS McAuliffe's case in the state courts
Is linked up with many others brought
by the states attorney on evidence Sc
cured by the state police bearing upon
the doings of liquor runners in New
Britain, the interest is now centered
upon the next step to be taken. Charles
and Samuel Giardino Of New Britain,
still held in Jail under $4,000 on the
charge of giving bribes to McAuliffe.
WIZ Be No Controversy.
U: S. District Attorney Smith stated
last night that while McAulifre has
passed out Of control Of Mr. Alcorn
there will be no conflict between the
federal and state officers over the
prisoner. The latter can see the pris-
oner and talk with him in connection
with the states case.
.. Court Sits This Month.
The United States district court will
sit this month, which will give op-
portunity for McAuliffe's case to be
taken up before the superior criminal
court comes in for the December term.
It is to the latter term that Detective
Sergeant Richardson, his two sons, and
Jacob Wrinkle have been held for trial
on the charge of receiving and con-
cealing stolen automobile, case de-
veloped in connection with the death
at New Britain of Louis Wrinkle
$1,000 Is Mentioned.
In the states complaint against Nc
it. The federal complaint mentions al
legged bribe was not stated. There was
report that a bank check figured in
it. The federl complaint mentions al
legged acceptance of $1,000 to betray
his official trust.
