ANOTHER NINE OF FRiCK
COMPANY CLOSED DOWN
ssy rhe Associated Press,

PITTSBURGH, PA, Apr. 19.-An-
other mine of the II. c. Frick Coke
Company, Leisenring, No. /. was
closed today by organizers of the
United Mine Workers in their cam
paign to cripple the coke industry
through an extension of the coal
strike in the Connellsville region. The
operators countered this loss with the
assertion that more miners were at
work in Leisenring, Nos. 2 and 3. than
for several weeks and the other Frick
mines repotred an average increase in
working forces of ten men per mine
throughout the region.
District headquarters of the United
Mine Workers here hailed the closing
of Leisenring No. l as a victory for
which they have been working these
past two weeks.
The plant normally employs about
400 men and its closing will shut
down about 400 ovens.

CROWD AGAIN SEES

Company IN" repeated its big show
again last night with the same sue
cess as on Monday. If possible there
was even more pep" and go to the
Night in Paris" than on its first ap-
pcarance in Annapolis. The foreign
atmosphere had had time to acclima-
tize itself so to speak.
Another big crowd enjoyed the eve
ming of carnival at the armory, and
wondered at the transformation that
had been worked in that bleak hall.
A large share of the credit for the
success of the Mardi Gras must be
given to Mrs. A. z. Holley who was
tireless in her efforts to put the show
across and who was instrumental in
getting up many of its novel fea-
lures.
The drawing for the canoe has not

NAVY AND PA. STATE
OFFICIALS TO CONFER
ON FOOTBALL GAME

The issue of whether or not the
Navy-Pennsylvania State College foot
ball game next fall will be played to
a paid gate, probably will be settled
in Washington tomorrow when Com
mander Douglas l.. Howard. director
of athletics al the Naval Academy. and
Head Coach Hugo Bezdek, coach of
the Nittany Lions, will hold confer
ence in the National Capital
The American League baseball
park there, looms up as the probable
site for the combat Navy and Penn
State stacked up in Philadelphia last
season. and according to a two-year
agreement, a return game at Annapo-
lis was arranged. The Navy contin-
gent, however, desires to derive some
revenue for erecting stands about the
athletic field on the government res
ervation; hence the idea of singing
this game out as the drawing card.
Graduate Manager of Athletics
Fleming, of Penn State, accompanied
the State baseball team here today,
and the prospect of the big game in
Washington was discussed informally
with naval representatives.

COLORED MAN MISSING
SINCE FRIDAY FOUND
DEAD AT HIS HOME

Arthur Wright, colored, so years
old. who lived alone in the house at
No. As Cornhill street, was found dead
there this morning, after Police Pa
trolman James e. Lowman, forced a
door which was locked. Wright's
body was lying in the middle of the
floor. DR.. William s. Welch, police
justice, acting as coroner, viewed the
body and without impaneling a jury
of inquest, decided that the man died
of natural causes. His death is
thought to have been caused ty pneu-
monia, complicated by heart trouble.
Coroner Welch is of the opinion that
the man died sometime Saturday
night or early Sunday morning.
Wright had for some time been en-
ployed as a laborer at the Naval
Academy. He had not reported for
work on the government reservation
since Friday of last week. Officials
of the Academy communicated with
the city police authorities to gain in
formation as to his whereabouts.
When Patrolman Lowman visited
Wrights home this morning, all doors
were found to be locked. Then he
obtained authority from States At
torney James NJ. Munroe, to force an
entrance to the dwelling. The body

DRAWS FIVE YEARS IN
"PEN' FOR LARCENY OF
DR.. HOPKINS AUTO

Five years in the Maryland peni-
tentiary was the sentence imposed by
Judge Moss i'm the Circuit Court on
Tuesday upon Ralph Young, 2S years
old, who pleaded guilty to a charge
OF larceny of the automobile of DR.
Walton II. Hopkins, of Annapolis.
The theft was committe about two
months ago. Young took the car
from in front of the Emergency Hos
pital in broad daylight. and it sub
sequently was learned that he went
on a joy ride with girl friends. A
few nights later, he returned the car
TO the yard in the rear of what is
known as Munroe's alley making in
from Main street Police officials
gathered evidence pinning the theft
upon Young and he was arrested al
his home at Pasadena.
The automobile was not seriously
damaged, but surgical instruments
valued at $1o0 which were in the scar
when it was stolen were never recov-
cred. At the preliminary hearing be-
fore Police Justice ]. Roland Brady,
Young at first claimed that he found
the car along the Annapolis-Baltimore
boulevard He said further that he
knew nothing about the surgical in
struments.

VERBAL PROMISE
TO CONVEY LAND
NOT SUFFICIENT

Holding that statements in gem
eral conversation to the effect that
the party making them had made up
his mind 10 give a person a particular
tract of land il he would stay with
him and take care of him, do not
amount to a contract 10 convey cap
allie of Icing specifically enforced, but
amount to no more than a declaration
Of an intention, subject to change or
abandonment. is the basis of an opin-
ion filed ty Judge Robert Moss in the
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel coun-
ty in the suit for specific performance
brought by Henry Henkensiefken
against Thalke NJ wilkins and others.
At the same time, however, the
Court adds: while the Court has
reached the conclusion that the Court
cannot grant the relief prayed in
this case, the plaintiff can recover
upon a quantum mcruit the value of
the services rendered ty him to
Muhle.'
This was a case where the late
Henry Muhle died on July A. 1929,
leaving farm near Waterbury
which he purchased from William X.
Boswell and wife, and which was
claimed hy Henkensiefken under
verbal agreement he alleges was re-
peatedly made 10y Muhle during his
life time, that in consideration OF
Henkens:efkens long continued serv-
ice to him, he was TO get the farm.
The defendants in the case were
Thalke NJ. Wilkins, an adult sister,
and certain nieces and nephws, chill
dren of a deceased sister and a de-
ceased brother, all of whom were al
legged to reside in Germany. Most
of them, however, later fled an ans
wer in this case denying the main
allegations.
In passing on the case the Court
said: "The case as made out by the
plaintiff, if the Court assumes, as it
does. that this contract has not been
proven, is the usual case where a.
man, feeling very kindly to an in
diyidual, stranger to his blood and
not his heir at law, intended tefore
his death by Will to give him his
property or some part of the same.
had neglected to make this Will en-
todying such provision as he intend
ed to make for the plaintiff, until
death overcame him and it was too
late for him to do So"
Following the Courts ruling, how
ever, that the plaintiff can recover
for the services rendered by him to
Muhle. it is understood that a suit
for this purpose will now be insti-
tutcd on behalf of the plaintiff.

ing the death of Joseph Ralston Nor

u, and planned TO return To his home

kennels outside Chicago and on South
river he raised some of the best speci-
mems produced in America.
