PRAISE SENATOR
FOR SCHOOL AID
Newport Voters in Particu-
lar Appreciate DR.. Balls
Money Guarantee
OTHER DISTRICTS
VOTING TO-DAY

Residents OF the Newport school
district and others interested in ed
ucational matters were loud in their
praise today of Senator L. Heisler
Balls guarantee Of $3.50 toward the
wage of the district janitor, by
means Of which the school is to be
kept open.
The action Of Senator Ball solved
what was considered a difficult prob
lem and school patrons in the rural
sections other than Newport who
are facing the possibility Of having
to close their schools in a short time
because of a lack Of appropriations
for janitors' wage commended the
Senator's action.
Patrons of the Oak Grove, Els
mere and Mount Pleasant school dis
tricts are holding referendum cleo
tions today on the question Of in
creasing taxes for the janitor's fund
Trustees of the Marshallton school
district will hold a special meeting
next week, when some definite ac-
ton will be taken relative to pro-
viding the janitors salary. Patrons
of this school several weeks age
voted down a plan TO increase the
taxes to pay the janitor.
Speaking OF the school situation
DR.. T. r. Brown. president OF the
State Board OF Education, declared
that the State board had done its
best but now was tiled hand anC
foot" and would be unable TO dc
anything further to relieve existing
conditions.
Because of the antagonism
toward the new schhool law" Mr.
Brown said, the Legislature, at II.
last session. practically ignored tn,
State board and because Of this feel.
ing, the members Of the Legislature
were left ignorant Of the necessary
and important wants OF the school,
Mr.. Brown, like Ellwood Souder
Wilmington member Of the STATE
board feels that nothing can b,
done to remedy the trouble until tn,
next session Of the Legislature, ex
cept through the cooperation o.
the patrons OF the school.

PRICE gets IS
MONTHS IN JAIL
Salisbury Cashier Must
Serve Term at Atlanta
For Embezzlement
REGULATIONS
OVER 6 YEARS

BALTIMORE. Dec. 10.-Isaac L.
Price was sentenced yesterday to
eighteen months in the Federal
prison at Atlanta, Ga, for embez-
zling about $4,000 from the Peo-
pies National Bank Of Salisbury.
Nd, while he was cashier OF that
institution. The sentence was i'm
posed by Judge Rose. in the United
States Court, after Price had pleaded
guilty to the indictment charging
him with misappropriating funds of
the bank. In passing sentence, the
judge referred to the fact that the
embezzlement had extended over a
period OF several years.
Among the people of Salisbury the
greatest sympathy was felt for Price,
Il was said This sympathy took the
practical form of reimbursing the
bank for the shortage. so that IL will
lose nothing. Even the banks direc-
tors were among the contributors to
the fund for making good the short
age, 1t was also said. Frederick p.
Atkins. one of the banks directors.
furnished $4,000 bail for Price when
he was indicted two weeks ago He
was released then for his appearance
yesterday to plead TO the indictment.
There we're twenty-eight counts in
the indictment. charging Price with
embezzling the banks money and
juggling the accounts OF depositors.
The first misappropriation charged
was that OF $500 on November 30,
1918, upon a check purporting to
have been signed by Wilmer Can't
well, a depositor. Price was also
charged with making false entries in
the books OF the bank to deceive the
bank examiner and with withdraw
ing S6550 on his account on jan
uary IA, 1920, when he had over
drawn his own account S5791.01.
Before pleading guilty, Price had
nothing to say when arraigned in
court.
Price Is connected with some OF
the Oldest and most prominent fam
ilies on the Eastern Shore. He was
active in church affairs in Salisbury.
IL is said that much OF the reason he
has had the sympathy Of his COM
munity is due to the fact that he has
been at heavy expense on account
OF Illness OF members OF his family.
