ASKS DRASTIC ACTION
AGAINST BOOTLEGGERS
Judge Wagaman Makes Special
Appearance Before Hagers-
town Grand Jury

Appearing before the grand jury
at Hagerstown Tuesday morning be-
fore it had started its work Of the
day, something that a judge in the
Circuit Court has not done for many
years, Judge Frank G. Wagaman cit
ed the bold defiance Of the prohibi-
ton law by many citizens in the COM
munity He pointed out specifically
the ease Of Howard Curtis, a negro,
whose home was stormed on Satur-
day night BY mob, after Curtis had
appeared before the grand jury and
was reported to have informed on a
number Of negro bootleggers.
Judge Wagaman declared that be-
cause of this manifestation against
Curtis and because of the apparently
growing disregard for the law in liq-
uor cases, and against all laws, the
court considered the time here for
special instructions to the grand jury
to take steps and nip in the bud that
spirit and to indict those who partic-
ipated in that riot as a lesson that
the majesty Of the law must be up
held.
During the course of his address to
the grand jury he pointed out that
only six indictments for violations Of
the law in regard to the sale of in
toXicating liquor had been returend
and pointed out the fact that a num-
Der of the offenders were escaping
punishment.
Following the talk of the jurist the
grand Jury on Tuesday afternoon was
conducting a rigid probe in connec-
ton with the mob attack on Curtis
and it was understood that the in
vestigation will result in the arrest
of several wealthy bootleggers in the
colored section of Hagerstown. The
Judge declared that it was only the
little fellow, the poor and uneducat
ed who ever had been convicted for
violation of the prohibition law. The
big fellow, the man who directs the
Illicit industry, never is caught, de-
clared the judge.
Six negroes, charged with being
implicated in the demonstration
against Curtis, were taken into GUS
tody by police and deputy sheriffs
on Tuesday afternoon

WILL URGE CLAIMS OF MANY
TOWNS IN MARYLAND
For State Aid in Maintaining City
Streets Connecting With Roads

TOT state Ana IN Maintaining City
Streets Connecting With Roads
To urge the claims of the smaller
cities Of Maryland to Governor Al
bert c. Richie and the State Roads
Commission and to ask the use Of
state road funds toward the improve
ment of connecting streets Of the cit
les of Maryland over which the traffic
from the State roads pass daily, a
delegation Of Oakland citizens. head
ed by Mr.. GiIm3r s. Hamin, who is
member Of the Town Council, Went
to Annapolis Tuesday morning.
Mr. Hamill was joined at Annapo-
lis by delegations from Frostburg,
Cumberland, Hagerstown, Frederick
and other towns~on the Western
Shore, and Salisbury, Cambridge,
Crisfeld and other points on the
Eastern Shore.
Col John D. Markey, of Frederick,
president Of the State Association Of
Cities, headed the delegates.
The State of Maryland has never
contributed a cent to the smaller
cities Of Maryland to maintain the
town streets over which its roadstour-
lists and truck traffic passes.
Baltimore city on the other hand,
gets 20 per cent of the revenue from
the State Roads Commission from the
sale of motor licenses, tags, fines,
etc. This amounted to 100000 in
1921, which was paid over by the
Comptroller of Maryland to the treas
urer Of Baltimore City.
Cumberland, Hagerstown, Freder-
lex, Oakland and other cities and
towns declare that this is unfair to
them. The citizens of each own have
to pay for the paving of its streets
while Baltimore, which grows larger
and Weather annually, receives a
big sufficient to keep and
maintain some of its streets and aids
in putting down new paving every
year.
At former meeting, the State
Roads Commission approved gin prin-
ciple" of the small cities contention
but asserted if the State contributed
any money for maintenance of city
streets, they must be given full
charge of all upkeep and mainte-
nance, Some of the cities objected
to giving away control of their streets

WILL PAY BOUNTY FOR
CARNIVOROUS BIRDS
Game Department May Reward the
Killers of Chicken Hawks

Hunters and sportsmen, do you
know that there is a bounty of so
cents on every bird or chicken hawk
killed in this State? The State Game
Warden is directed by law (Acts of
1920, Chapter 100, Section 7O) to pay
so cents to every person who pro-
duces satisfactory evidence of having
killed a hawk, known as Sharpshin-
ned, Cooper's or Red Tails, within
this State.
The bounty is to be paid out of the
State Game protection fund, derived
from the sale of hunters licenses.
During December as much as $176
was paid in bounties.
Farmers are urged by the Game
Department to erect steel traps on
poles on their property so that these
pests that are so destructive to our
game may be killed. The hawks are
especially destructive to Bob White,
or cartridges, pheasants and other
insect eating and song birds.
Those wishing to claim bounty are
directed to make affidavit before a
justice of the peace or notary pub
lie certifying as to when and where
the hawk was killed. The affidavit
may also be made before any of the
district game wardens. In all cases
the head and body of the hawk must
be produced intact.

the discussion Of school expenditures.
Albert S. Cook, State Superinten-
dent of Schools, defended the salary
increases and other features of the
bill.
Undaunted by the rebuke given
them by the House when that body
shouted down an attempt to advance
their first anti-Catholic bill, Delegates
Mccormick and Collins of Allegany
county introduced in the House an
other "bigotry" measure drawn BY
George Waldron.
The new measure provides for tax
aion of all church property used for
any purpose other than public wor-
ship, for taxation of Catholic pa
rochial schools and for inspection Of
all Catholic hospitals and asylums.
The books and papers of all ceme-
teries are to be open to inspection by
the terms of the measure, which also
provides that parochial schools are to
be inspected at certain intervals.
Mr.. Mccormick stated that the
measure was drawn by Waldron. It
was referred to the Ways and Means
Committee, whose chairman is Dele
gate Gambrill, Democratic floor lead
er, who led the fight against the first
"bigotry" bill.

boiled again last Friday night and
converted a class of Esuuires into
full--fedged Knights.
Last Sunday the lodge observed the
tifty-eighth anniversary of the

time our annual banquet is held we

There is no abatement in the mem.

they will keep it up. 1t is rumored
that before this contest closes the

OAKLAND A. A. LOST TO
TEAMS IN The EAST
Both Frederick And Martinsburg
Clean Up On Local Bas-
ket Ball Players

The Oakland A. A. basket ball
team lost both games on two-days'
trip to Frederick, Md, and Martins
burg, West Va, last Thursday and
Friday.
Thursday, the 10th inst, they met
and were defeated by the fast Fred
erick team by the close score of GO
to 81. The game played in the old
town was one of thrills, excellent
team work and spectacular shooting.
Noah Downes, of Frederick, played
the best game of the winners, while
Hoyt and Bolden were the bright
lights for the locals.
Hoyt displayed his usual skill in
floor work and in shooting, caging
ten goals in from the field. Bolden
played a whirlwind game at guard,
making four field goals.
Friday, the 18th, the locals were
taken into camp by the Martinsburg
Collegians to the tune Of So to SO.
AS the night before at Frederick,
Hoyt and Bolden were easily the stars
for the locals, while Hammann, for
ward for the Martinsburg team, was
the star for his home town, making
% of the Sc points.
The Oakland team returned home
on train No. SO Saturday morning.
