FOUND IN STORY
TOLD BY BROWN
Weber Case Suspects Real
Name Found to Be
Joseph Keller.

Following an investigation by
Constable Thomas II. Garrison, of
Hyattsville, 1t was definitely estab-
lished that the suspect arrested in
connection with the murder Of Mrs.
Margaret K. Weber, May 10. 1921, is
not James Brown, but Is Joseph
Keller, colored. Garrison went TO
South Carolina to investigate the
negro's story. and he learned that
the negro lied in many respects. In
the first instance he said he had no
relatives or friends living. Garrison
discovered that he has a father,
mother, three brothers. and a sister
living at Lincolnville, N. G.
He visited his home in August, In
1921, and whenever there was a
knock on the door he became highly
nervous, the parents told Garrison.
"It was a white man living in the
neighborhood that killed that woman
and he is trying to get me for IT,
was the statement from Keller when
GarrMon spoke to him at the Marl-
boro jail yesterday.
Keller stayed at his parents house
only a week. The parents thought
he was demented, as he lived In the
woods and took his meals wherever
he could. He first left his home in
1920, they said. which is contrary to
the story he told detectives.
When he was questioned by
Sheriff Sweeney and Deputy Sheriff
Pumphrey and District Attorney J.
Wilson Ryon at the Marlboro Jail
yesterday he admitted that he had
relatives living at Lincolnville. N. c.
When Garrison visited Keller's
parents he represented himself as a
census taker for the colored un-
known dead in the war. When
shown Keller's picture the parents
readily identified 1t.
Keller admitted that he had in his
possession $14 or 315 when he left
White Station. Mrs. Weber had
about $14 In her possession when
she was at the station.

Major Sullivan is not less satisfied
of her fidelity in her work and her
devotion to her duties"
Reverting to the alleged COM
plant of Inspector Evans, the prief
says:
mot a line or syllable in his
testimony complains Of her action
in this entire matter. In passing,
we note that the charge and speci-
fications state that they are
brought upon the complaint of In
spector Evans. Inspector Evans
made no complaint 30 far as the
evidence discloses, either prior to
this trial or in his testimony. For
this reason, II for no other, the
charges would have to be dismissed
because the variance would be
fatal.
Error Is Charged.

complaint and the record discloses
none, some one in making these
charges committed a grievous er.

The character Of the work done
by the Woman'B Bureau rs at all
times most important" says the
brief, than the trial boards idea

II does not lie "in the province
of the trial board to set itself up as
self-constituted fountain head ot
disciplinary wisdom" he adds.
Ought not the Major and super
intendent of Police, in the estao'

should prevail in a well-regulateo

Tut, tut, little men, why blow
so hard, when you have long since
been forgotten and your voluntary
contribution to the sum total OF po'

by Lieutenant Van Winkle will still

The distinguished Russian said he
would prefer to talk about politics

who produced Papa Pell?" asked
Mr.. Whiteford. Albert w. Peil, of
Brooklyn, is the father Of one of
the two girls who were held at
the House OF Detention on orders
Of Mrs. Van Wrinkle after their
release had been ordered by In
spector Evans. The original charges
grew out Of this incident.
Mrs. Edna l.. Johnston, superin.
dent OF the House of Detention,
testified at the hearing that In.
spector OF Detectives Clifford l..
Grant called her over the telephone
and said:
"'ThIs time I am going to see
to II that this will be the last time.
going to get into trouble this time
from this. and you be sure to tell
her that for me-"
The inspector was referring 20
Mrs. Van Winkle who had ordered
Mrs. Johnston to ignore his order
to release the two girls.
Inspector Grant, when called to
the stand, was, to say the least, un-
gallant enough to question the ac-
curacy of Mrs. Johnston's quotation
of him." says the Van Wrinkle brief.
But, evidently, being himself con-
vinced OF the impossibility of his
denial being believed in preference
to the statement of Mrs. Johnston,
he produced the irate Mr.. Pell, faith
er of one of the runaway girls to
corroborate his story.
Mr.. Pell's long trip from Brook
lyn was made at the request of In
spector Grant. Mr.. Pell says that
he paid his own fare. Mr.. Pell's
testimony, however, shows that he
could not deny Mrs. Johnston's story
anent Inspector Grants conversa-
ton because he was not present in
Inspector Grant's.room all the time
during which the conversation may
have taken place.
Pell Is Criticised.
IF Mr.. Pell's parental prattle Is
no more efficacious IN the proper
instruction of his young daughter
than II was in. supporting Inspector
Grant, II Is little to pe wondered at
that his daughter, in her statement
TO the Women's Bureau. said that
she was sick Of homo on account OF
her parents domestic troucle.
Instead OF complaining. Mr.. Pell
should have been pleased that his
daughter had fallen into so good
and capable hands as the Women's
Bureau"
Mr.. whiteford suggests that,
should the Board OF District Gem
missioners fail to modify the find
ings of the trial board by striking
the notation on discipline thersfrom,
an appeal may be taken to the
courts. I'VE do no. believe the
Commissioners would prefer to have
a court rectify this record, which,
in the interest of Justice and fair
dealing, can be as readily done by
the Commissioners themselves" con.
cludes the brief.

 A. l. December, January and Feb ruary, that is out door or field grown stock.
 ?. The hardy hybrid tea roses.
 3. Pulverized sheep manure, well routed COW manure, leaf mould and any high grade complete com mercial fertilizer.
 f. I would not advise setting hedge as late as June, better wait until fall or winter.
 5. Well grown bedding plants of all late Towering annuals and pot grown perennials may bs put out with reasonable safety.
 Q.-What is the best time ef day to wash off porch plantsr Mrs. c.
 A.-Late in the evening, as general ly less dust to settle on plants. Early in the morning Is 2 good time if not too dusty.
 Q.-Do the ivy vines need much water to succeed? Mrs. E. l..
 Alt is a good idea to induce rapid growth to keep a good mulch around the roots but they don't TO- quire regular watering like some ether plants.
 Q.-How many of the small Span ish peanuts can one produce to the acre and do they need fertilizer? H. A, R. F. D., Warrior.
 A-Much depends on soil cultiva- ton and fertilizing. On fairly good soil acid phosphate may be the only fertilizer needed, and 1t Is generally used two to four hundred pounds to the acre with great profit. On thin or poor soils, two to four hundred pounds of . complete fertilizer will greatly increase the yield. \ A thousand pounds of nuts to the acre ought to be the goal and much more Is possible. although the aver age IS much less.
 Q.-poes the small white lady pea run on corn or Is 1t bunch? R. D.. Fayette.
 A.-There arc many varieties of small white COW peas. mono of which are strictly bush and few if any will run or wind around corn. Most of them are half runners or moderate runners.
 Q.-Wiil blue grass do any good planted this late and what about white clover? Mrs. E.
 Alt is too late to expect any results from blue grass. White clover would grow, as 1t is extremely hardy, and will generally succeed under most any conditions.

 MILLS KEPT BUSY
Tuskegee Hospital Takes 25,- 900 BarreIs-Threat of
 lmportationS

Order for 25.ooo barrels of cement for the government soldier hospital to be built at Tuskegee has been placee with a Birmingham cement mill.
 Mills at Leeds, Ragland, and Demo polls are on full time with a demand for capacity production.
 One cement maker said: "We are up to the handle; have all the busi- ness we can care for.
 Alabama cement is going into both Carolinas, Georgia, Mississippi. Tennessee. Louisiana, Florida We are beginning to fall behind in de- liveries.
 Prospect Is fine. There is no req son to alter the statement made early in the year that indications point to demand taxing the capacity of the Alabama mills during the entire year. There Is a lot of road build ing yet to come.'
 Threat of Imports.
 Alabama cement makers do not at- tach importance to the threat of irn- porting 2.500,o00 barrels of Swedish cement contemplated, according to press dispatches from Charlotte, N C., by the Southern Power com pany and the North Carolina High way commission. Southern Power company alone wants 250.00o barrels this year and has work under con- struction calling for 75o.oo barrels.
 Dispatches are to tho effect that this Swedish cement will be handled at Wilmington. The dispatches es- tirnate saving of $25o.ooo owing to difference in prices.
 Alabama mills have already booked hundreds of thousands of tons for North Carolina highways and do not regard the Swedish importation pro- posal as feasible.
