CROWD ATTACKS
OCEAN CITY JAIL
Breaks Down Cell Doors in a Night
Attack.-Bad Feeling Toward 4
Policeman Held Responsible.

Ocean City, Md. June l9.-Taking
the law into its own hands, crowd
of men, probably numbering 75, broke
into the small lookup here this morn
ing and released two prisoners-Sam-
uel Cropper and Ernest Fosky. Both

of being intoxicated. Later Fosky
was rearrested by Special Policeman
Clarke and taken to the county Jail
at Snow Hill. Another man, Jim"
Casper, of Ocean City, was arrested
and also taken to Snow Hill, as Clarke
claims he vas in the crowd that broke
into the lookup.
The attack on the lookup caused
excitement among the residents here,
and States Attorney William G. ker-
bin and Mayor Collins, of Ocean City,
have promised to make thorough
investigation and to prosecute the
guilty parties, who beat down the
doors and shattered several cell bars
in order to reach the prisoners.
The attack, il was generally rl-
mored. was due to III feeling toward
Special Policeman Clarke. Friends
Of the prisoners were said to have
charged him with being unnecessarily
rough in making the arrests.
The Ocean City authorities do not
intend to allow anymore rowdyism.
and have no fear of a recurrence of it.
ron Monday Casper and Foskey
were carried before Justice McAllen.
Casper was found guilty of carrying
a concealed weapon, and FOskey for
being drunk and disorderly. Both
men asked for a jury trial. They were
ordered TO give bond. Casper for $500
and Fosl.ey 500. Not being able to
furnish bond both men were returned

POTATO PRICE LOW
CABBAGE SLUMPS
Returns On Cabbages Grown On The
Shore Scarcely Enough To
Pay For Freight

Several cars of Irish potatoes are
now being shipped daily from the two
counties of the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia. Northampton county particu-
larly Is now making heavy shipments
and the season in the lower section of
the peninsula is well under way. The
prices have gradually declined from
$3.50 barrel to $500. This decline
is thought TO have been caused by the
steady stream of potatoes into the
Northern and Western markets of the
North Carolina crop
Yield Below Normal.
The yield in Northampton County.
according to reports, Is far from nor
NAL, while in the upper county of
Accomac il is estimated that 10 TO 80
barrels to the acre will be the yield.
A rain in the latter county would be
of inestimablc value. il is said.
The farmers on the Shore are being
cautioned not TO make hurried ship
ments. particularly if the potato has
not fully matured. They are being re-
ferred TO the experience of last year.
when the price improved as the season
advanced. While S5 prices are not ex-
pected in the July harvesting, it Is
said that with the Carolinas through,
good prices should prevail.
Cabbage Market In slump
The cabbage crop has been 4 COM
pleie failure so far as prices go. Due
10 = flooded market the shipments
from the Eastern Shore have hardly
returned enough money TO the grow
ers to pay the freight But the straw
berry crop was decided success. and
great deal of hope is pinned on the
potatoes. People who are in touch
with the potato situation express the
belief that reasonable prices will pre-
vail the latter part of June and con-
tinue throughout July and the entire
season.

this system the Government manu-

"The Government also distributes

the whole liquor proposition, it strikes
me that it would be very much dry

"But, in order 10 accomplish this,
