ers Declare He Is Suicide.

FREDERICK. Nd. March T.
Footprints for . mile and a half
along the banks Of the Monocacy
river indicate that Harvey Gartrell.
who shot and killed Miss Arta
Jenkins. at Buckeystown, Sunday,
eluded his pursuers. He Is believed
to have reached the railroad and
escaped on q freight train. The
theory that he committed suicide
by jumping into the river Is secuted.
State officers found a hill sloping
to the stream. and at the foot Of
this hill they discovered footprints.
These led directly to an unoccupied
shanty. which the officers believe
sheltered Gartrell during the night.
More footprints leading from the
shanty to the railroad near Fred.
erick Junction were also discovered.
The Baltimore officers held the
theory that Gartrell eluded his pur.
suers by walking along the edge Of
the stream under a sloping hill.
They also found evidence that he
watched the posse from points OF
vantage under the hill. II il known
that tho local officers and a large
the hunt yesterday did not go
closer perhaps than twenty-five feet
from the river. as the fugitive was
tracked to A fence which parallels
the stream for some distance, where
they lost the trail.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Jones
found a pocketbook and package OF
cigarettes belonging to Gartrell at
point along the river between
Reichsford and Frederick Junction.
The pocketbook contained a small
camera photograph OF the murderer,
q note from a girl friend and sew
eral cards bearing his name and ad-
dress.
The only officer who saw Gartrell
after he left Buckeystown was
Motorcycle Policeman Alexander. OF
Frederick, who was on his way to
the scene OF the crime. The fugitive
saw the officer some distance
ahead, stopped his car and started
across field Alexander, after
chasing him a short distance fired
one shot at the man before he dis
appeared over hill leading to the
river.

 ACHING KIDNEYS
We cat too much meat which clogs Kidneys, then the Back
 Hurts

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and nect, flushing occasionally, else we have backachc and dull mis- cry in the kidney region, severe head aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach. sleplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kid news active and clean, and the mo- ment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon ]ulce, combined with lithia, and is harmless and flush clogged kidneys and stimu- late them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

Coroner Shaw is, and as for the sher if, he is always making mystery out of nothing. Just because few cush- ions and a steamer rug were stolen from Pearsalrs launch. and the pan tries of one or two of the summer residences were broken into by some cnterprising tramp, our friend nere was cooking up fine little mystery until this mornings affair came along to drive it out of his mind

 But who on earth would nave wanted to harm Laurel? The young girl had not an enemy in the world land she was facing the greatest hap piness which life could hold for her If this hideous idea of murder could have any basis in fact it must un- doubtedly be the work of some insane intruder

AMENDMENTS MAY END
| KENYON BILL OBJECTIONS
Changes Can Bring Out Principles
1ndorsed by Unemployment
Conference.

Return of the Kenyon public
works bill to the Senate committee
on labor affords an opportunity for
amendment which will remove the
objections revealed in debate and will
bring out the fundamental principles
indorsed by the Presidents confer
ence on unemployment, o. L. Mallory,
secretary of the public works COM
mittee of the unemployment confer
ance, announced yesterday.
The principle is that the federal
government should prepare to ex-
pand it's public works in order to af-
ford more employment during peri
DDS of depression than when private

now being done generally by the
cities and states. Mr.. Mallory said.
undertaken by the state of New York,
which is the Hudson river vehicular
tunnel, will be awarded this month,
Mr.. Mallory added, at time when the
greatest possible stimulus to industry
will be given. Thousands of men will
be employed directly and indirectly
for whom private industry now af-
fords no opening.
Wages received by the men SO en-
ployed, Mr.. Mallory said, will in
crease the demand for many COM
moditieS wholly unconnected with
construction. The stimulus will be felt
in the textile mills of New England,
in the mines and furnaces of the mid
die west and in retail business in the
metropolitan area.
