Although the prospects for next years
Italian budget seem better than this
years. pessimism was evident in Parlia-
nent when the Minister of the Treasury,
Camille Peano, presented his report last
week A deficit of $500. 900 lire was
the gravest feature OF that report. Next
years budget carried an estimated def
ict of 1000, 100000 lire.
1t is predicted that Italy's totals in
debtedness before the end of the present
year will reach 124, 100000 lire !;
and as the lira is now worth very little
in dollars or pounds sterling. with no
signs that the issue of paper money will
be reduced, great concern Is manifested
in financial as well as governmental cir

FARMERS FAIL TO REPORT
HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAK
As A Result Worcester County Has
Been Visited Many Times By
Animal Disease.

Mr.. w. K. Atherton, of the U. S.
department of Agriculture, the hog
cholera specialist in the district in
hich Worcester county is located,
makes the following report, which all
farmers should carfully read:
"The attitude of some farmers to-
wards taking effective measures a.
gainst the spread of hog cholera this
year has been surprise and disap-
pointment to the county agents as
we'll as myself. In most cases it is
not due to lack of knowledge of essen
tails or publicity regarding the cases
cf hog cholera, but it is an attitude
of taking a chance or waiting in
stead of taking prompt action.
"Our records show that Worcester
county has had 20 outbreaks of hog
cholera so far this year, against 9 for
lie same period last year.
"Do you think this is only coinci-
dcnce?
"There is nothing that works so
much to the advantage of the hog
cholera germ as Indifference, or lack
of interest on the part of the swine
growers, regarding the protection OF
their hogs. This infection is most
persistent, and on the job 365 days in
the year, and is prompt to take advan-
tage of any opening to get on the
farm and cause losses among hogs.
-FOUR County Agent and Hog Cholera
specialist can help you protect your
hogs from this enemy, but they cannot
10 it for you. Give them the desire'
cooperation, and save your hogs.
"The assistance that is wanted
from you, is promptly reporting out
breaks of sickness among swine. a''1
the following of instructions
prevent the introduction, ha 9
and spread Of the disease"

UNKNOWN NEGRO ATTACKS
WOMAN NEAR POCOMOKE
Mrs William H. Taylor The Victm.-With Aid Of Blood
hound, Citizens Engage In Biggest Man Hunt In His
tory Of Pocomoke.-Criminal Still At Large.

arrived on the 9.24 train Tuesday
evening and were imediately put on
the trail. Nearly 1000 men, many of
them in automobiles, watched the
hound take up the scent in the field
and cross fields in line parallel with
the road. The trail led from the Tay-
lor farm to Pocomoke and to negro
house near the freight station, where
the negro had evidently hidden dur
ing the day. The hound continued on
however. Leaving the city it crossed
the railroad bridge into Somerset
county. On the stone road the ; imal
lost the trail near the farm O. Mr..
Linwood Willis.
1t is thought by those working on
the case that at this point the negro
managed to get Gift" from the own
er of some automobile or wagon, and
that this accounts for the blood hound
losing the trail
Later word was received that a
negro answering the description of
the hunted man had been seen in the
neighborhood of Westover, about 9
miles from Pocomoke, and the dog
was Immediately dispatched to this
point but there was no trail and a
search of the locality revealed moth
ing.
Several arrests were made in towns
up and down the Eastern Shore but
in each case it was proven that the
wrong man had been detained.
Deputy Sheriff Parks has been busy
all week running down every lead that
he has heard of and the citizens of
Pocomoke and surrounding country
have aided him in every way possible.
Police authorities in all cities AMI
towns both north and south of POGO
moke, have been notified to keep a
sharp watch for the criminal and it
is hoped that he will be caught in a
short time.
The negro was unknown in this
section and this fact will no doubt be
in his favor. He was said to be dress
ed in Khaki pants, shirt and tweed CAP
and had light complexion.

Pocomoke City and the lower Eas-
tern Shore were shocked and enraged
on Tuesday of this week, when it was
learned that an unknown negro had
attacked Mrs. William H. Taylor, wife
of a prominent farmer living little
more than mile from this city.
The attack occurred on Tuesday
morning while Mrs. Taylor was in the
garden picking beans for dinner.
According to Mrs. Taylors statement,
the ngro came to the garden through
a cornfield and was within few feet
of her before she knew anyone was
near. He accosted her and said he
was looking for work. Mrs. Taylor,
at once booming suspicious, told him
her husband was in another part of
the field and that if he would go down
the road to where he was she knew
Mr.. Taylor would give him work.
At the same time Mrs. Taylor start
ed for the house, but upon looking
back saw the negro following her in
stead of going where she had direct
ed him. Mrs. Taylor began to run,
with the ngro in pursuit. He over
took her after about so yards He
seized her by the throat and body and
threw her to the ground in potato
Iath with Mrs. Taylor fighting and
screaming. The scuffle lasted for sew
eral minutes before her screams
frightened the negro away.
Mrs. Taylor, who bleeding from
scratches and bruises, made her way
to the house wheer she fell exhausted,
The alarm was not given until her
husband returned from the country,
where he had been looking for labor
CTS. about 80 minutes after the at
tack. Mr.. Taylor Immediately noti-
fed the neighbors and deputy sheriff
L. T. Parks at Pocomoke, and in a.
bout 30 minutes large number of
men took up the search for the negro
in nearby woods, where his tracks
led across a cornfeld.
A search of the woods revealed
nothing and later in the day Sheriff
Parks telegraphed to Suffolk, Va, for
bloodhounds to aid in the hunt. They

CAMPAIGN FIGHT
NOW TO THE FORE
Democrats Preparing To Assault
G. O. P. Organization-All Fac
tions Lined Up For Bruce.

Preparations for the campaign fol
the election of Senators and members
of the House of Representatives, are
now fairly on, and all the indications
for a brusing and acrimonious contest
between the democratic and republi-
can parties, are evident among the
members of both political organiza-
tions. That it will be a straight-out
rarty contest, is also evident, and
all efforts OF the republican politi-
clans to divide the democratic vote,
will fail, for the people who usually
aid the anti-democratic organizations
in their assaults on the party, namely
the old time Independents and mug
wumps, are already lined up for Mr.
Bruce, while the reliable regulars,
will, as usual, follow their LADDERS and
take up the organization cause in ia
Nor of the regular nominee.
All opposition to Mr.. Bruce seems
to have disappeared, and both his op-
ponents for the nomination in the prl-
maries, Senator Norris and Mr.. Lewis
have Loyalty and manfully come out
in his favor, and are ready to do all
in their power to aid in the election of
their successful competitor. There
has been no sulking on the part of
either of the defeated candidates,
without any delay, both have congrat-
ulated Mr.. Bruce, and are already at
work lining up their followers in be.
half of his election, and have shown a
praiseworthy example of party 10y
atty and devotion to the regular
nominee.

CAPE CHARLES GIRL
DIES FOLLOWING AN
ILLEGAL OPERATION
Man In Case Placed Under Arrest
Wednesday.-Police Obtain
Sworn Statements.
NURSE AND DOCTOR HELD
In JAIL WITHOUT BAIL

Miss Nettie E. Fisher, 20-year-old
telephone operator of Cape Charles,
Va, died Wednesday of last week
from an illegal operation performed
by DR.. B. c. Kellam in boarding
house at Norfolk, Va.
The first announcement made fol-
lowing her death was by Coroner r.
l.. Williams, of Norfolk, who perform
ed an autopsy on her body Thursday
of last week. A thorough investiga-
tion of the case was begun at once by
the Norfolk authorities. They had
only one clue to work on and that was
the fact that Miss Fiser when she
went to Norfolk Tuesday, sent mes
sage to man in Cape Charles beg
ging him to come to her.
Murrell B. Kitchens, telegraph op-
orator at Cape Charles was later dis
covered to be the man wanted and de-
tectives arrested him on Tusday and
carried him to Norfolk, where he was
present at the hearing on Wednesday.
According to reports, Miss Fisher
went to a boarding house in Norfolk
Tuesday of last week. She complain
ed of being i'll but would not see a
doctor until evening, when DR.. B. c.
kellam was called. He treated her
until the following day and then sent
her to the Protestant Hospital where
she died.
A sworn statement made Monday
of this week by Mrs. Mary F. Parker,
nurse of Norfolk, was that DR.. Kellan.
performed an illegal operation on Miss
Fisher in his office and then took her
to boarding house. DR.. Kellam and
Mrs. B. l.. Hammack, keeper of the
boarding house, are being held in the
city Jail without bail on charge of
murder following the death Of Miss
Fisher.
Mrs. Parker's statement set forth
that she had importuned DIR. Kellam
to take Miss Fisher to a hospital. but
he had declined to do so until shortly
before she died.
In testimony brought out at hear
ing on Wednesday it was shown that
DIR. Kellam had performed seven H.
legal operations. Miss Parker testi-
fed that she had assisted DIR. Keliam
in the illegal operations, and the Ham
mack boarding house at 314 Boush
street was used as a sort of clearing
house for these cases. One woman,
recupcrating from such an operation,
was still in the boarding house when
Miss Fisher was brought there almost
unconscious after her operation IN
the doctors office, the nurse testified
Mrs. Parker spared none of the de-
tails concerning the practices alleged
to have been going on in DIR. Kel-
lam's office for several weeks, and in
which she assisted as DR.. Kellam's of
flee assistant. She testified that she
burned the Fisher baby in the furnace
at the boarding house September 10th
two days before Miss Fisher was tax
en- to the Protestant Hospital uncon-
Scious.
Miss Fisher'G home is near Tenn
peranccville, Va, and at one time she
was an operator at the Temperance
vile exchange.

PRESIDENT HARDING
VETOES BONUS BILL

President Harding on Tuesday
vetoed the soldiers bonus bill as
was generally predicted. The ma
tion's executive sent the bill back
to the House with vigorous mes
sage of disapproval. The Presi-
dent applied without stint the
whip of criticism to Congress for
pretending to provide adjusted
compensation for former veterans,
while doing nothing to furnish the
necessary funds beyond hazard
GUS scheme of cash certificats
which he held to be menace to
the credit of the Government.
The House overrode the Presi-
dents veto but the Senate sustain
ed the veto by a vote of "A to 28.
