DELAY OF TRIAL IN
BANKLOOT|NG ST|RS
QUEEN ANNFS CO.
Two Indicted for $4,000
Shortage 19 Months Ago Have
Not Been Prosecuted.

STEVENSvILLE Nd. July 49,
Nearly two years ago the funds of
the Stevensville Bank were found to
be more than $4,000 short. The
hanks cashier, after the discovery,
told of having speculated in wheat
futures with a friend. He and the
friend We're indicted and both paid a
small part of the money back.
A large number OF residents of Kent
Island and of Queen Anne's county
generally are now becoming stirred
up over the fact that no one has ever
been tried on the charges growing out
of the shortage. Five of the nine di-
rectors of the bank recently wrote to
the court and to the States attorney,
practically demanding that the case
he tried and that steps be taken to
prevent another postponement before
the court. George Oliver Galloway,
the former cashier, has been granted
four postponements already, the last
one at a session of court called espe-
cially, and after the regular term, to
hear his case. The conspiracy charge
against w. II. w. Lowe, Calloway's
friend, has been stetted.
Galloway, in the meantime, pursues
a normal life here In Stevensville and
among the people Of Kent Island. He

CENSUS SHOWS FEWER
ALIENS ARE FARMERS

The total number of foreign-born
white farmers in the United States in
1920 was 5sl, ,054, as compared with
669.556 in 1910. representing a de-
crease of 1872 per cent, the Census
Bureau announced today. White farm
ers born outside the United States
constituted 8 per cent of the total
number of farmers in the country
during the census year of 1920, as
against 10.5 per cent in 1910.
The foreign countries which con-
tributed the largest numbers of the
ranks of the foreign-born white farm
ers, as reported for 1920, were Ger
many, 140,652; Sweden, 60,442; Nor

But" you may say to yourself II
you are a Public Utilities Commits
sioner, '1f we comply strictly with

The federation's reply TO this is as
follows. That would be unfortunate,
but II the Washington Railway and
Electric cant compete with its com
petitor II OUGHT to fail"
The alternative, IL Is contended, is
TO make the street car riders of the
Capital Traction lose money-by
paying an UNNECESSARILY high fare.
The injustice of this, they point out,
is very real and very apparent. On
the other hand. IL is argued. there
is no injustice In the Washington
Railwss and Electric taking its med
icine. however bitter IL may be.
There should not be competition
in street railway service. The Fed
Grafton, and everybody else, believes
this. But in Washington we have to
deal with the practical situation OF
the actual existence Of competition.
In those circumstances. say the Fed
eration's officers, the old doctrine of
the survival of the, fittest is logical
and fair.

1aCUen Cnelr DatClnR average.
81 can't knock home runs If the
Giant pitchers walk me, but can
run the bases. In fact there Is
not very much doubt on the Yankees
bench but when the entire club can
match speed and daring with the
opposition, and win the argument,
any old ball club that can score three
runs on three hits Is not the big
steam roller that many critics have
dubbed the Yankees.
I'VE have had a look at both
Giant pitchers and all I can say Is
that they have been an incentive to
keep the Yankees on their toes.
Mike Mentally stole home Wednes-
day and put Snyder a mile in the
air. Bob Meusel, sometimes called
hstless by sporting editors. ripped
away third base today and scored
standing up while Earl Smith was
looking for the ball somewhere be-
tween home plate and the dugout.
80 far this world seriss has re-
volved to great extent into a
battle between the pitching staff and
catchers Of both clubs.
Batting Of Batteries.
Frisch and Rawlings seem to be the
only Giants capable OF solving our
pitchers. Home run George Kelly,
Irish Meusel, and their heavy hitting
catchers have gone out, one. two,
three.
The Yanks have made ten hits
and made every one count by dis
tributing them among nine players
and by running bases with abandon
and intelligence
The sporting world seemed to
have It all doped out that the
Yankees would either go on a slug

No champion ball club would be

only knocked the assertion sky
high, but will continue to do so un-

what q sprinter might be. Bob
Meusel din't steal home just to get
his name in the head lines nor did
the Yankees really need his tally.
Yanks Are Cleared Up.
The secret Of the whole thing is
the Yankees are geared up to a pitch
they never attained before. 1ndi-
vidual play has been eliminated en-
tirely from our plan.
Where is all the marvellous speed
and base-running of the Giants?
Where is the pitching that baffled
the National League? Where is the
scientific strategy that was going

all I'd like to know when the Giants
are going to show the perfect machin-
