Plea Changed; Men Sentenced

Changing their plea from not guilty of statutory burglary to guilty Of transp orting liquor without a permit Joseph Della and Anthony Aurillio were yesterday found guilty of that charge in the Superior court, criminal side. Della was fined $10O and Aurillio. who is alleged to have been the brains of the enterprise, was fined $250 and given a six months suspended jail sent ence. Both men were arrested on the 18th of January after their actions had aroused the suspicious of the police, a, tire store located nearby had been found broken into and a quantity of auto acces- sories stolen.
 They caused quite a. commosion in the City court when they were rought up to face a charge of a bur glary. Their attorney stated that mistake had been made and that in stead of being burglars that his clients were poor unfortunate boot leggers. Probable cause. however, was found by the court and both men wereb ound over. Through un- derstanding with the attorney both men were given The benefit of the doubt and they were allowed to plead guilty to a charge of transporting liquor without a permit instead Of statutory burglary.

Forty automobiles were parked in Kaler's barnyard upon his arrival home last night. The occupants had come from Cleveland. They had brought roosters along. The Cleve- flanders liked Ka1er's barn, they said, and wanted to stage a chicken fight. The festivities continued until 2 a. n1., when Kaler called for the Sheriff to disperse the party.

It is hoped that no reflections are cast upon the Detective department when Mrs. T. Shandorf of 66 Elias street of this city wishes them to find the culprit who stole the top of head stone from a monument in her family plot at St. Augustine's cemetery. Dead men tell no tales,'' so If the depart
 nent gets any clue the alleged robbery it will be natural to suppose that some of the members of the de- partment are in league with spiritual- iSts.

JUDGES, SALARIES RAISED.

An increase in the salaries of all
Circuit Court Judges was provided
by the recent Maryland Legislature
The House, by vote of 70 to 81,
concurred in the action taken sew
eral days before by the Senate. The
increase amounts to twenty-five per
cent of the present salary and ap-
plies to all judges now on the bench,
Those members of the bench to be
appointed between now and 1926
however, will not profit by, the in
crease, unless such increase is pro
vided for in the budgets to be made
in 1924 and 1925. This provision
was made necessary to prevent the
ineligibility of any member Of the
present Senate or House from the
bench, ON the ground that he had
voted to increase the salary of az

Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERlCANP PRESS ASSOClATlON
GOVERNOR RITCHIE ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY.

Governor Richie has announced
his candidacy for denomination for
the Office of Governor at the hands
of the Democratic party next year,
and that he will not be a candidate
for the United States Senate this
year. The Governors announce
ment was made in prepared state
ment, drafted after consultation
with party leaders who have been
his hackers in the past.
In his statement the Governor
takes the view that it is his duty to
finish the job he began in the Gov
ernorship and stay to see that the
reorganization plan, which will be-
come effective on January l next, is
put into complete operation.
With the placement of the Gov
ernor as a possible candidate for the
Senate comes talk of the probable
choice of the leaders for the nomina
ton. The consensus of this talk il
that former United States Senate
John Walter Smith has not yet beel
eliminated, though he has repeated
ly told his friends that he would no
run.
There is discussion of the avail
ability of former Congressman
Charles P. Coady of Baltimore, AM
this discussion has as its essenc
the belief that he would be stronl
with the city organization of tn
Democratic party and likely to draw
from that element of the Republican
party which will not support Senate
Joseph I. France even if he shoul,
be his party's nominee.
But there are others with eyes OF
the nomination, including David ]
Lewis of Allegany, who has alread
announced himself. His friend
say he is not of the kind to with
draw even to please the State lead
ers, SO that there may be a primar
fight whether or no.
Others mentioned include Joshu
w. Miles Of Somerset, former Judg
N. Charles Burke of Baltimore coun
ty, Emory L. Coblentz of Frederick
county, Stephen w. Gambrill O
Howard county and State Senate
William I. Norris of Baltimore, VIII
is talking Of entering the field.
But it is yet early-the nomina
ton is not to be made till mex
September-and with the Governo
out of the way the leaders may alloy
the situation to drift little Will
longer. AS long as the Governo
was a tentative candidate littl
progress was made in clearing u
the situation. Now candidate max
ing can go on without let o
hindrance.

TOMATO PLANTS FOR COUNTY.
County Agent In Charge OF Seed Bed
At Chesaneake City.

County Agent In Charge OF Seed Bed
At Chesapeake City.
Tomato plants for an entire
county is the ambition of County
Agent A. D. Radebaugh, Cecil coun-
ty, who in cooperation with the
growers has planned large seed
bed at Chesapeake City, where
plants will be grown as one means
of solving the difficult problem of in
creasing the yield per acre of this
important canning house crop with
out materially increasing the cost of
production.
According to w. r. Ballard, spe-
cialist in vegetable gardening for
the University of Maryland Extern
sion Service, who has visited the
rapidly developing project at Chesa-
peake City, the plan of the county
agent and the Cecil count growers is
to secure good vigorous plants which
may be set out in the field at a date
considerably earlier than is Gus
tomary.
Experiments have shown that
the early set plants Of the Stone
variety of tomatoes have yielded
from two to three tons more per
acre than plants of the same variety
set in the field later in the season. -
says Mr.. Ballard "The University
of Maryland Extension Service has
been recommending early planting
as one means Of increasing the yield
per acre. The disadvantage of the
practice, however, lies in the fact
that the vines frequently begin pro-
ducing before the canning houses
open. The Cecil county plan of
growing the plants comparatively on
a large scale, however, should offer
a very practical method of over
coming this objection because it
will supply large number of grow
ers with the early plants and should
thus make it profitable for the can
ming houses to open earlier in the
season to take care Of the crop"
The project at Chesapeake City
will be watched with interest by
practically all the growers in the
State, thinks Mr.. Ballard, because it
will suggest similar possibilities of
cooperation in other sections. Can
ners also will undoubtedly be inter-
ested in the final results of the en-
terprise.
Mr.. Radebaugh has had much
practical experience in growing to-
matoes on commercial scale and
for a number of years produced ex-
ceptional yields on his farm at BY
mum, Hartford county. Forty pounds
of tomato seed were purchased for
the Chesapeake City enterprise.
The plant bed has been heavily
fortified and the young plants will
be frequently sprayed as a precau-
ton against disease and insects.
The Cecil county growers have con-
tracted with the Gamers to sell
their crops at $1,000 per ton.

SOYBEANS FOR HAY AND SOFT
IMPROVEMENT.

Most Maryland soils are well
adapted to growing soy beans. TIC
the farmer this crop renders 9
double service. Not only does Il
furnish a forage rich in protein for
hay or silage and a concentrated
feed for stock as beans after they are
threshed but, gathering as 1t does
most of its required nitrogen from
the air the plant serves as soil i'm
proven by stocking the soil with this
needed element through the nitrogen
gathering bacteria in the nodules
that form on the roots.
Lining and incubation are usuni-
ly two very necessary factors in the
successful growing of the crop, fall
ing as it does in the legume class
Particularly is this true in the caso
of Maryland soils all of which hava,
responded where lime has been usea
In connection with corn, soybeans
are planted in two ways, either with
the corn as silage using two thirds
corn and one third soys, the latte
being an addition to the usual
amount of corn planted. or sown be-
tween the rows at the last cultiva-
ton of the corn. The latter prac-
tice furnishes green feed for stock
as well as green manure when pre-
pairing the ground for wheat.
