THE PENNSYLVANIA NEW
YEARS GREETING

IL would be almost impossible TO say
too tnuch In praise Of the mutual work
ing agreement just entered into by the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad system and Its
employees. Briefly. this agreement pro-
ytaes q cooperative court OF review In
eolydng grievances, rules and working
conditions. On tAIs court, both the
I, company and the employees are repre-
scented and a two-,hirds vote Will be
necessary to a decision on any ques-
ton Tho plan goes into effect imme-
diatsly.
This coopeAatsve agreement IS so
much better thin any possible legisia-
ton that no comparison can be made.
1t approaches very closely 10 the ideal
In the relations OF capital and labor. As
tho Pennsylvania company justly says
IN its announcement. this agreement
should eliminate any question Of
strike on the Pennsylvania system. as
far as train operation is concerned.
The new plan Is the elimination OF
policy Of mutual discussion OF working
conditions adopted by tho Pennsylvania
IL years ago. In those II years, train
service strikes have been threatened

nnsylyania lines. The company and
enuins and train service men have
ways been able to reach mutually sat

liy American plan OF talking things

The operation of aerial bombing ser.
vice at Aberdeen, as now conducted. will
do more in week TO destroy the work Of
the Maryland Game Conservation Com.
mission than it can accomplish in years
of costly and careful work. During the
past week airplanes have been carrying
on bombing expeditions over the Chesa.
apeake Bay. destroying little and big fish
by the thousands.
A barrel has been anchored in deep
water off Howell's Point and efforts made
to drop 200 bombs from the airplanes into
1t. The explosions kill the fish.
Norman Thompson. government watch
man in the tower on the Point. went out
to the target and picked up Eve pound
rock. while other fish in various sizes
were to be seen. Other persons have
gone to the place and picked up bushels
of fish. some stunned and many dead. A
line of destruction two miles long and
from 90 TO 100 yards wide. may be seen
at this place every day these bombs are
dropped. Howell's Point, opposite A. L.
Harris farm, is looked upon by the Bet
terton fishermen as being one of the best
places in the upper bay for fishing, and
fishermen and citizens are indignant.
The tests could be made at scores OF
places where no injury would result. and
appeals will be made to have this whole
sale destruction of fish stopped-Havre

HARVEY GUILTY or SECOND
DEGREE MURDER.
Sentenced To Five Years In the
penltentlary.

Thomas Vauehn Harvey was found
guilty of murder in the second degree lin
his trial 10 Cecil Circuit Court at Elkton,
on the charge of killing his brother.
Lawrence Harvey of Perryville. The
jurymen, who had been moved to tears
by the defendants testimony in his own
defense, commended him to the mercy of
the court.
The case was given the jury on the
afternoon of March 80. and after debating
Eve hours decision was reached.
The killing took place February 9, at
North East, in front of the home where
the mother of the brothers lay desper-
.ately i'll. The defendant insisted that he
shot his brother in defense of his own life.
Taking the stand In bis own defense,
Harvey declared that when he fred the
shot that killed his brother. he believed
his brother was armed and intended to
kill him.
On several occasions prior to that time,
the prisoner declared, Lawrence had
threatened to kill him. He added it was
fear Of his brothers that prompted him to
swear out peace warrants for Lawrence
and Edwin Harvey on February 6.
The accused told pathetic story of his
devotion to his mother, and it apparently
had very decided effect on The jurymen.
Sentence of FIVE years in Maryland PEN
itentiary was placed upon Harvey. The
jury commended him to the mercy of the
Court and he was given the minimum
penalty. The court directed that the
warden of the Penitentiary inquire into
the health of the accused and give him
immediate attention.

Munday & Company the Real Estate con-
cern Of Wilmington, for diyision of COM
missions arising out of the sale of the

WASHINGTON COLLEGE ALUMNI
ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN

Letters have just gone out to over
a thousand of the alumni of Wash
ington College appealing for support
Tor the Two Hundredth Anniversary
Endowment Campaign.
John I. Coulbourn, of Philadelphia,
a graduate of Washington College in
the class of 1897, has been appointed
Chairman of the Campaign Commit
tee.
Albert D.. Mackey, of Elkton Bar,
is a member of the Board of Visitors.
DR.. M. Bates Stephens, recently
State Superintendent Of Schools, has
been selected as Executive Secretary
Of the campaign.
The present campaign is to be work.
ed mainly among the alumni of this
old institution. 1t is expected that the
alumni will raise $4,000 which will
about cover the present Indebtedness.
This sum, it is hoped, will be sub
scribed before commencement day.
After the debt is thus paid, general
campaign for endowment will be be-
gun among all who are interested or
ought to be interested in the cause
of higher education on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland.
Even before the campaign was
formally launched meetings had been
held in Philadelphia and Wilmington
and about $4,000 had been subscribed.
Washington College grew out of a
school established in Chestertown by
the Province of Maryland in 1921.
There is tradition that even before
this date a school was already To-
Gated in the present site. 1t is thus
literally true that the campaign
marks the two hundredth anniversary
of the institution. A similar cam
paign was conducted with great -uc-
cess in 1882. DR.. William Smith, who
was then president of the school,
made tour on horseback throughout
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and
Virginia. He raised about $4,000, a
very large sum for that day, which
made it possible to raise the school
to college standards and the charter
was then obtained from the state
legislature. The present campaign is
the first general appeal for funds
that the college has made since the
time of DR.. Smith.
