supply obtained from city dealers its
allotment will be 36,690 tons.
Worcester received 6,770 tons last
year, this year she will receive 4,06l
tons.
Wicomico received $3.50 tons last
year, will receive 1913 this year.
Somerset received 1874 tons last
year, will receive 4,3l5 tons this year.
William X. Conway, secretary of
the commission, pointed out that until
the middle of November anthracite is
likely to be scarce From that time on
the supply is likely to be nearer nor
NAL. Those who receive full supply
at the present time, he reiterated,
will be cheating others of their fair
proportion.

Winchester's Letter
From Baltimore

Next week il is expected that the
real work of the campaign will be
gotten under way, and the remaining
four weeks prior to the election on
November seventh will show unusual
activity in the ranks of both parties.
The preliminary registration in the
City so far as it has gone, shows about
the usual majority for the Democrats.
The number of voters registered thus
far has proved TO be disappointing to
the workers of both parties. II must
be remembered that Baltimore City
has an entirely new registration this
year. All the old lists have been de-
stroyed, and all those who desire to
vote here in November must see that
their names are on the lists at the
next sitting Of the officials if they
have not attended to the matter at
the sittings which have already been
held. II is all well-enough to talk
over political principles, but the only
practical way to show faith in prin-
ciples is to register and vote for men
who will see that those principles are
carried into effect by the government.
And it is well that the people of the
counties should be reminded once more
that there are several proposed
amendments to the State Constitution
which must be voted upon at the cleo
ton next month. Two of these
amendments are extremely vicious,
and should be rejected by an over
whelming majority. Both are revo-
lutionary in their character and in a
great measure will change our whole
system of State government. Any
such an increase in the representa-
tion of Baltimore City as that pro-
posed will give the radical and ignor-

THREATENS TO
SHOOT DRY AGENTS
Wife of Charles Mitchell Comes To
Rescue of Husband When Federal
Officers Find Dclmar Stills.

Federal Prohibition agents were ac-
tive in Delmar and vicinity, the lat
ter part of last week. On Friday they
raided the place Of Charlie Savage,
farmer living about eight miles east
of Delmar.
On the property, il is said, was
found / 900 gallons of mash, two so
gallon stills, and one 25 gal. still.
Savage was tried before Magistrate
Mills, of Maryland, and held for
action of court under 81 900 bail.
The same evening, agents from
Baltimore, Wilmington and Laurel,
assisted by Mayor Thorington visited
the premises of Charles Mitchell, Jr.,
said to be quite a notorius character
in bootlegger's circles. Here they
found 10 gallon still, warm from
being heated during the day.
Mitchell's wife picked up gun
and attempted to fire, but was check
ed by Agent Strafford, whose hand
was slightly hurt in the struggle that
ensued. Several drunken negroes were
lying around the place.
Mitchell was arrested and arraigned
before Magistrate Heane, of Del
aware who placed him in Jail under
81 900 bail. His fathers house was
also searched but only small guam
tity of mash was found and no ar
rest was made.

The above figures for allotment
may not take into account in some
instances the emergency needs Tor
such uses as schools and institutions.
If there should be such emergency
the Fuel Committee desires to be
acquainted with the matter. 1t is
the policy of the committee to see
to it that the coal bins of one man
are not filled while the bins Of another
man are empty. II is also the in
tention of the Fuel Committee to see
that fair prices are charged for coal
both at the mine and by the distri-
butor.
1t will be noted that some of the
towns in Worcester do not show any
shipments last year or any allot-
ment this year. This may be ex-
planned by the fact that these towns
were supplied by other towns and
will be considered again as custom
ers Of the larger towns adjacent.
Maryland may expect to receive
only 522,243 tons of hard coal this
winter, as compared with S70,62S tons
received last season. This is 60 per
cent. of normal requirements. The
allotment is based on the expectation
that by April lard coal mined dur
ing the year will amount to only go
per cent, of that mined the previous
year.
OF the 522,243 tons to be received
throughout the State Baltimore will
be allotted 369, GIL tons, or II per cent
of the total. All Of this will not be
used within the city limits; much of it
will go to the suburbs in Baltimore
and Anne Arundel counties.
Baltimore county will receive more

MURDER MYSTERY
AT PARKSLEY, VA.
James ]. Hurst Killcd-Mark Sissler
And Wife Are Under
Arrest.

Parksley, Va, Oct. 4.-Mystery
still surrounds the brutal murder of
Jesse J. Hurst, who had been keeping
a general merchandise store for the
last 90 years about two miles from
here. who was found last Saturday
morning at the back steps of his
store with his head beaten in with
the hub of a wagon wheel. Hurst
was hurried to Salisbury Hospital,
where he died Monday morning with
out making a statement.
Mark w. Sissler, together with his
wife, who lived on the second floor of
Hurst's store, claim to have found
the murdered mans body early Sat
uriay morning and gave the alarm to
Dave Sterling and Charles Snyder,
who live on the Hurst farm near the
store. The county authorities Sc
cured bloodhounds, the trail being
started from the store money drawer
and stone jar in which Hurst was
known to have kept money to farm
house and back to the scene of the
murder and upstairs to the bed in
which Sissler slept. Immediately Sis
sler and his wife were placed under
arrest and lodged in Accomac Jail
awaiting further investigation. Ster-
ling and Snyder were also arrested
and RELEASED on bail as States wit
nesses.
The only words spoken by Hurst
was. "Wait "a minute, I'll fix it,"
Hurst and Sissler are known to have
been in business together and that
settlement over the business was
pending, and it is the opinion that
the murder was the result of quar-
rel between the two men.
Hurst was buried at Parksley yes
terday afternoon. He is survived by
two brothers, DR.. Ira Hurst of Parks
ley and Charles Hurst, farmer liv-
ing near here. He leaves an estate
of $4,000.

OLDEST MASON
DIES AT CRISFIELD
John Sterling. So, Since 1919 Ac-
claimed As Senior Member OF
Order In World.

Crisfeld, Md, Oct. 3.-John Ster-
ling, oldest resident of Somerset
County, died at his home in Law
sonia, a suburb of Crisfield, Sunday
afternoon, after being confined to
his bed for the past three months.
Mr.. Sterling was SO years old, and
since 1919 the Masonic fraternity
has acclaimed him as the oldest
Mason in the world. For many
years prior to 1919 he held the dis
tinction of being the oldest Master
Mason in Maryland.
Had Many Adventures.
His life was filled with activity
and many adventures are connected
with his early life as deep-sea cap
tain. For many years he was cap
tain of vessel plying between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
the ports of the South Seas. About
30 years ago he retired as sailor
and devoted the latter part of his
life to banking and was regarded as
one of the most successful financiers
on the Eastern Shore.
He was one of the organizers OF
the Bank of Crisfield, now one of
the largest State banks, with assets
of nearly $2,O00,0OO. Mr. Sterling
was president of the bank at the
time Of his death and was at his
desk daily until his ninety-second
birthday, when he retired from ac-
tive business. He was also one of
the founders of the local Masonic
lodge and attended the meetings of
Chesapeake Lodge, No. 147, at the
age of 80. His record as a Mason
dates back to the i0s, at the time
when he was engaged as deep-sea
captain.
Made Mason In 1Si7.
The Masonic records disclose that
his application for membership in
the order was made to Manhattan
Lodge, No. 62, of New York city,
and that he was admitted as a men,
ber of that lodge on February Z,
1847. That lodge is no longer in
existence.
On May 3. 1869. Captain Sterling
