! POVERTY SENDSSEVEN
CHILDREN TO REFUGE
Distressing C Conditions, Following
Mothers Death, Broke up Home

Three small children of John John
son of Lake Gordon, near Cumber-
land, were placed in the Amish Men
monte Home for Children, 10
Gated near Grantsville, this county,
by arrangement with the court in
Cumberland on Friday last, on ac-
count of distressing conditions which
have existed at the johnson home.
Five other children of the family
were sent to the Amish home in June
following the death of their mother.
The action of the Court followed a
hearing on a charge against johnson
of wilful neglect of his minor children
Friday before Judge of the Juvenile
Court Richard T. Semmes, who sub
mitted the case to the Circuit Court.
The Johnson family lived in a house
belonging to the City of Cumberland
near Lake Gordon. With the death
of the mother the responsibility of
conducting the home fell upon a IA
year old daughter, Evelyn. Condit-
ions became so distressing that as
sistance from the Salvation Army
and the Associated Charities was
necessary. Commitment Of the first
five children to the Mennonite Home
followed arrangements between those
organizations and the Court, early in
June. Since that time the eldest
daughter had been maintaining the
home and caring for two children
seven years and two years of age
respectively. Two babies II months
old and two months old, respectively,
were included in the first five children
taken to the Mennonite Home in
June, which with the three placed
there Friday left the poverty-strick-
en- household with the father alone.
Johnson had worked on railroad
here but was seriously injured a few
years ago. He has since been work
ing at odd jobs, earning it is under
stood, only SO a week, at intervals.

Company, and it is not felt that the
granting of these applications will
have any material effect upon the
carrying out of such a, large project
as the Youghiogheny development is
expected to be or upon the ability of
these companies to secure profitable
outlet for their product"
The Commission therefore passed
orders overruling the protests of the
Youghiogheny companies and the
Walbridge Company and granting
the West Maryland Company all
that it had asked in the premises.

TO ARGUE HAGERSTOWN
STRIKE CASE this MORNING
Before Full Bench In Cumberland
After Being Tried Here

Argument in the trial of J. W.
Chapman, a special officer, and John
Schwaf, hostler, charged with as
sault with intent to kill Harry
Schildnect, shop striker, at Hagers
town, March %, 1922, following the
Western Maryland shopmen's strike,
which was removed from Hagerstown
to Oakland, will be heard, at ten
o'clock this morning before Chief
Judge A. Hunter Boyd and Associate
Judges Albert A. Doub and Frank G.
Wagaman, in the Allegany County
court room,
Recently, when the case was tried
here, Pentz Saylor, another
special State officer, indicted with
Chapman and Schwaf in connection
with the shooting, Saylor was found
not guilty. Hearing of testimony in
the case was completed and argument
as to the part played by Schwaf and
Chapman was set for a later date at
Cumberland.
The shooting took place in the rail
road yards at night, three days after
the Inauguration of the shopmen's
strike on the Western Maryland
line. The defendants testified that an
engine crew had left an engine stand
ing on the main tracks and refused to
turn it, claiming it was the hostler's
duty. Schwaf, a new hired hostler,
with Saylor and Chapman as special
officers to protect him, got up on the
engine. They testified they were
stoned repeatedly and shots fired at
them by crowd congregated on the
bank above the yard fence. During
the fusilade, Schildnect, on the bank,
was shot in the leg. At the trial
here Schwaf and Saylor denied they
fired any shots at Schildnect, asserting
he was trying to work the engine and
move it. Chapman admitted he shot
four times at a hole in the fence,
IL Oill "HANu q SIl cdIIl OI UulIGIS was
being fired by unidentified parties on
the engine and cab. He asserted he
shot at the fence because he was in
danger and not at the mob on the
bank.
The defense also declared that
shots came from the other side of the
yard on the engine, and also stones.
This occurrence was one of a series
of disorders and violence that follow
ed the calling of the strike at Hagers-
town and other points for several
weeks after the strike was called, and
which is still in effect. The shop
work was given a repair company,
wages were reduced and working
hours raised eight to ten.
The state with its witnesses sought
to prove that no shots were fired by
the strikers and that the special
officers and the hostler were guilty of
assault with intent to kill. States
Attorney Scot D. Angle Wellington,
of Washington county, will argue for
the State while the accused will be
defended by Walter C. Copper.
