GOLDSBOROUGH
FLAYS TRUST
Charges Lobbying BY Rhode Island
Senator. Tariff Puts Up Price
OF Cotton Goods.

Washington, June 27.-Charging
that the McCumber tariff bill is "a
monstrous measure of the most vi
ciouS character Representative I. A.
Goldborough, Democrat, of Maryland,
in a speech in the House today
attacked the activities of former Sen
ator Lippett of Rhode Island as 4
lobbyist in the interests of high
restrictive duty on all imported cot
ton cloth.
Mr.. Goldsborough declared that the
schedules on cotton cloth goods are on
an average 45 per cent. higher than
in the present traif and "place an un-
warranted and outrageous burden on
the American people,
The cotton goods section of the new
bill, he added, was "joker inserted
at the suggestion of the lobbyist Lip
petit, which will filch from the Ameri-
can people S750,000,O00 annually, and
as cotton goods are used by everyone
and as there are more poor people
than any other class, the backs of the
poor will be bowed under the greater
part of this awful burden, while the
golden food is poured into the laps of
a handful of rich manufacturers"

TEACHER SEEKING
PSYCHIC WONDER"
Induced Her To Invest $1,000 In Dye
Plant. Told Fortunes Al
Crisfield.

Baltimore, June 2S.-Even "psy-
chic wonders" from whom the world
can hold nothing secret, neither past,
present nor future. are not immune
to automobile accidents. Miss Dona
Hanna. school teacher of Western
port, Md, who believes more or less
in things psychic, has just learned
this, and the lesson has cost her an
even $1,000.
The psychic wonder" in this case
is known to Miss Hanna as J. Hol-
land. She met him last January in
the Colonial Hotel in Crisfeld, where
he was maintaining a studio and re-
lating the past and future of the resi-
dents at 81 each.
Miss Hanna was teaching school at
Crisfield at the time, according to her
statement to II. ID. X. Wilson, chief
Investigator of the State police force,
and along with others she had an
audience with him.
Became Interested In Her
Miss Hanna said she paid her dol
lar and placed three written ques-
tions in an envelope according to in
structions. Holland took fancy to
her, she said, and suggested that she
hire him by the year as her psychic
adviser. She agreed and paid him
the fee of S25 required and for it re-
ceived entree to the musty past and
the dim distant future.
Before she had an opportunity to
become acquainted with any shades,
however, Holland suggested that she
invest $500 in dye manufacturing
plant in Massachusetts. in which the
du Points were greatly interested.
Miss Hanna agreed and on January
18 she gave Holland $500 with which
to buy some of the stock. On Janu-
airy 81 Miss Hanna's psychic protec-
tors and advisers had another hunch
that she needed more of the dye
works stock. She demurred at first,
but Holland soon showed her the folly
of refusing to do what the shades and
ghosts suggested and she supplied
$500 more. This was on February l..
Is Still Recovering
A week later she received this
telegram: "Mr. II. injured in auto
mobile accident. Will return on re-
covery." The message was signed
"Mother," presumably Hollands
mother.
So far as Miss Hanna knows Hol-
land is still recovering. She has not
heard from him since, and in an en-
deavor to do some recovering her.
self she petitioned Wilson to locate
J. Holland for her. Wilson consulted
Commissioner Gather about the mat
ter yesterday and the police of other
cities will be asked to locate the
psychic wonder"

Jury Trial For Man
Who Beat Up Umpire

President Miller of the Eastern
Shore Baseball League after con-
sulting States Attorney Beauchamp
of Somerset County regarding the
disposition of the assault case against
Jake Hoffman, the Crisfield fan, has
asked for a jury trial. Hoffman it is
remembered is the spectator at ball
game between Crisfield and Parksley
who battered up Umpire Knowlton
because the arbiter had rendered de-
cision against Crisfield
Last Friday was the day set for
the hearing before the magistrate in
Crisfeld and Hoffman was out on
$l00 bail. President Miller left Sails
bury at noon by machine for Girls
field and stopped over at Princess
Anne for the States Attorney. 1t
was here agreed that in order to get
the correct punishment for Hoffman
jury trial had better be requested
and accordingly the authorities in
Crisfield were reached on the long dis
tance phone and the new procedure
fixed upon. Hoffman's bail was raised
to 5000 which was supplied and the
trial will come up in the fall term
of court.

POWELLVILLE BOY
.STRAYS FROM HOME
Five Days Search For Luther Rayne
Ends When Wanderer Phones
Father From Salisbury.

ASt4 being away from home five
days. s,Xduring which time his where
aboytsAwere unknown to his parents,
Luther \Rayne. of near Powellsville
was returned to the family hearth by
his father, William G. Rayne, on last
Friday afternoon. Luther is the only
son and lives with his parents on a
farm outside of Powellsville.
Last Sunday young Rayne accom-
panied his father to Powellsville to
hear the Rev. DIR. Joseph 7. Herson,
of Salisbury, deliver sermon at the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Leav-
ing his father seated in the machine
he excused himself for minute and
went around the corner. That was the
last time he was seen with the ex-
ception of report from an automo-
bile party who said that they had seen
boy walking down the road towards
Willards late in the afternoon.
When nightfall came and no signs
of the lost boy had been secured his
parents became very anxious and au-
thorities in all the nearby towns were
urged to be on the lookout. 1t was
thought that the boy might have met
with some mishap inasmuch as his
parents could find no logical reason
for his leaving home.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Payne was
startled to receive a telephone mes
sage from his boy stating that he was
in Salisbury and wanted to get home.
The worried parents made quick
trip into the city and shortly after
wards the lad was resting comfort
ably at home and the minds of his
parents greatly eased.
In his story of the affair the boy
states that on Sunday afternoon he
accepted a ride with man by the
name of Howard and drove through
the country with him to Reeds Grove
where he worked on his new acquain-
tance's farm for three days, got tired
and made his way back to Salisbury.

To the day of the deed, strike the harp

Let the song of the ransomed remember

And the tongue of the eloquent hallow

Der the bones of the bold

And on flames golden tablets their tri-

Who on freedoms green hills freedoms

And the beacon-fire raised that gave
light to the world
They are gone-mighty men.-and
they sleep in their fame:
Shall we forget them? Oh, never!
no, never!
Let our sons learn from us to embalm
each great name,
And the anthem send down-"In-

Wake. wake. heart and tongue,
Keep the theme ever young;
Let their deeds thru the long line of

Who on freedoms green hills freedoms

And the beacon-fire raised that gave

OLD FRENCH STATUES
BEGINNING TO CRUMBLE

PARIS, July 3.-Venerable statues
of stone, ancient reiefs, queer old
gargoyles of Notre Dame and Saint
Chapelle-none of them can stand
the strain of modern life in Paris.
Report has been made by experts
to the proper authorities that all
stone statues that have stood the test
of centuries are commencing to
crumble away. Here a general has
lost an epaulet; there bishop is
minus his nose.
DO these monuments, solemn with
age, frown upon the frivolties of
twentieth century Paris? Are they
weary of being stared at by endless
professions Of tourists?
The experts say excess smoke in
the atmosphere is the true cause.
Legislation restricting smoking fac
tory chimneys may result.

NEW YORK, July S.-With no one
in sight to stop them, the New York
Giants look to be a sure pennant
winner this year. Their victory would
be pleasing in New York but it will
not help baseball.
| Complaints about buying the PEN
! nant have been made all over the ma
| tional league, so much so that the
practice of getting stars by cash has
| become an absolute menace TO. base
| ball
Commissioner L.andis is aware OF
the dangers, as was Evidenced by his
refusal to let the Giants have IIeinie
Groh in the middle of the season last
year
He is still at his crusade this year,
as was shown by his drastic action in
the Kenworthy case in the Pacific
Coast league.
Other little bubbles are coming to
the surface in the major leagues
John McGralw, manager of the
Giants, went before the National Lea
que owners recently and asked to have
investigated the story that came re-
Gently from Cincinnati that he had Of
fered the Reds $15O,OOO for Eddie
Roush, outfielder, and Pete Donahue,
the best young pitcher in the league.
McGraw denied that he had made
any such offer and he said he was
tired of being charged with tampering
with the players on other clubs,
If he didn't know that the publica
ton of that story would get him in
bad with Lands, he never would have
taken the trouble to haze the story
repudiated-if he could repudiate it.
The two New York clubs have the
most money in baseball and if thel
practice of buying players is not stop
ped, there will be no such a thing as
pennants races in few years,
William F.. Baker, who owns the
Philadelphia Phils, goes on the theory
that it is impossible to buy pennant
and he never tries.
Once in great while a real sports
man appears in the professional ranks.
Such as Ben Block, owner of Norwich,
who sacrificed the possibility of al
wonderful record just. to keep his
word.
Months ago Block promised New
