Mailiff Testifies About
Black Star Line,
Is Belief.

New York, Feb. s.--Edward Young
Clarke, imperial Klailiff of the Ku
Klux Khan, came here Wednesday from
Atlanta and testified before a federal
grand jury concerning a secret he was
alleged 10 have received last October
from Marcus Carney, self-styled pro-
visional president of Africa and head
of the Black Star Line, who is under
indictment on charge Of using the
mails to defraud investors.
Garyey was arrested on January IL
1922, on a charge of using the mails
to defraud, and the next month he was
indicted with three other officers and
directors of the Black Star Line. CAPT,
talized at S10.000,000. His trial is now
on the calendar.
Last August Garvey again was in the
public eye when, dressed in a colorful
uniform, he led a parade through the
Harlem black belt. A few days later
police were called TO maintain order al
a meeting of Harlem negroes, at which
speakers criticized Garvey's plans for
establishment of a. negro republic in
Africa.
The same month the charge was made

that Garyey had formed an alliance
with the Ku klux Khan but delegates
and deputies of the Universal Negro

HONEY In RADIATOR
Substitute IL For Alcohol To Prevent
Freeze-up, Bee-keeper Advocates.

honey in automobile radiators, instead
of alcohol to prevent freezing, was
proposed by A. w. Gale, of Chillicothe,
Mo-, member of the American Honey
Producers league, before the annual
convention of the association in session
here. He declared honey would not
freeze and that it could be obtained
much cheaper than alcohol.
1t was stated that 300000,000 pounds
of honey were produced in the United
States last year, the state of Missouri
being sixth with an estimated yield of
100000 pounds.
1t was said there are approximately
100000 bee keepers in the country.

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS;

Seventy-Five Per Cent. OF Proceeds
Will Be Spent In Counties

The Maryland tuberculosis Asso
citation and it's branch organizations
in the counties, opened their 10th an
nual sale of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals on November goth, Thanksgiv-
ing day, proceeds of which will be
used to eradicate tuberculosis.
Seventy-five per cent of the money
will remain in the county to be spent
for the public health work, and will
be supplemented by funds and SER
vices from the State Association fully
equivalent to the other twenty-five
per cent. The State Association thru
it's local branches will conduct tuber-
culosis clinics under the direction of
DIR. John H. Nicklas who will report
on December 1, for duty. DIR. Nick
las has been connected with the U. S.
Veterans Bureau, and has splendid
record as a tuberculosis expert.
The Association also assists in
maintaining public health nurses,
conducts the Modern Health Crusade
in the schools, etc., and co-operates

SPORTS

The college foot ball season came
to close Thursday of last week
Thanksgiving day.
Although no agreement exists a.
mong the State institutions, there is
always an effort on the part of the
municipal press to name champion
team. This year it is specially diff
cult to do so; but if any school is en-
titled to the honor, it would seem that
Hopkins University has first call.
It is absolutely impossible to decide
the question on the basis of general
competition, since the different insti-
buttons do not engage in contests in
Guiding all the colleges, and, it is
manifestly unjust to settle the mat
ter by the system of elimination.
This year Hopkins is the only team
that has defeated more than one state
opponent; she took into camp St.
Johns, Mt. St. Mary's, Western Mary
land, and tied Maryland University.
The State University defeated St.
Johns, and tied with Hopkins. st.
Johns lost to Washington and tied
with Western Maryland. Western
Maryland defeated Mt. St. Mary's,
tied St. Johns, and lost to Hopkins.
Mt. St. Mary's defeated Washington,
but lost to Hopkins and Western
Maryland. Washington lost to Mt.
st. Mary's but defeated ST. Johns.
That is certainly mix-up, when it
comes to deciding anything. But
sort of tabulation will show how the
matter looks:

l3,S75,2l9 TELEPHONES
IN THE UNITED STATES
This Is 63 Per Cent. OF Number In
World.-Best Service Found
In America.

The supremacy Of the Unitee
States in the extent to which the tele.
phone enters the business and social
life of the people is we'll known
Striking evidence Of the degree OF
American leadership in the telephone
field is, however, afforded by recent
compilation of telephone statistics
for all countries of the world. Ac
cording to this survey, there were on
January l., 1922, a total of 1913, 900
telephones in the world. Of these,
13,875, 219 were in the United States.
That is, the American people, who
number but 6 per cent of the total
population of the globe, had for their
use 60 per cent Of all the telephones
in the world. Europe, with a popula-
ton of more than four times that of
the United States, had only rs per
cent Of the worlds telephones; and
all other countries combined possess
ed but IL per cent of the total tele-
phones in existence.
It is significant, also, that outside
of the United States the telephone
has reached it's highest development
in relation to population in Canada
and in Denmark, where a large ma
jority Of the telephones are owned and
operated by private companies. AL
though considerably behind the Uni
ted States in telephone development
these two countries are we'll ahead of
the great powers of Europe where
government ownership obtains.
Another striking contrast between
telephone conditions in this country
and abroad is brought out by a con-
sideration of the relative extent of
telephone service in large and small
communities in the various countries.
Telephone service has been developed,
in practically all foreign countries,
H. only Vic gel Cliu
the less populous places, particularly
the rural areas, have disproportion-
ately small number of telephones.
For instance, one-third of all the tele-
phones in Great Britain and Ireland
are concentrated in London; one
third of all the telephones in France
are in Paris. Farmers telephone
lines, as we know them here, are al
most nonresident in Europe.
Nevertheless, the telephone service
abroad, even in the cities, is still rela-
lively restricted in extent as compar-
ed with the urban systems in this
country. There are few cities out
side the United States and Canada,
with as many as 10 telephones per 100
population. Yet the 33 United States
cities of over 100000 population on
January 1, 1922, showed the high av-
erage of 17.2 telephones per 100 in
habitants. In absolute numbers, the
single city of New York had, on that
date, almost as many telephones as
the whole Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, and now has more.

If there is any more hard luck in
store for James B. Dunn, sportsman,
famed wherever there are any race
tracks in the United States and Cana
da, his friends don't know where it
is coming from.
Once wealthy, with large financial
interests in New Orleans and other
cities, Dunn today is awaiting legal
action which will take from him the
last remnants of his fortune.
Last week, at Easton, Md, the
wife of Dunn's former farm manager
obtained a $500 verdict for false ar
rest. She was arrested in Baltimore
about a year ago on Dunn's COM
plant, charged with embezzlement
and larceny.
Last May the manager obtained a
similar verdict.
Last Saturday the Sheriff levied
and advertised for sale everything of
value on Dunn's stock farm, 10 miles
from Chestertown, Md. The Sheriff
seeks to collect money to satisfy the
verdicts in the false-arrest suits.
About 10 days ago the representa-
tive of Federal land bank foreclos-
ed on a mortgage of Dunn's $42,5OO
farm. Some time before that his Sec
ond wife had him jailed for failure to
pay alimony, pending her divorce ac-
ton. His first wife committed suicide
in Baltimore five years ago.

This would, apparently, give Hop
kins a slight lead over every other
competitor. So far as the other elev-
ems are concerned, all, except ST.
Johns registered one victory only,
and they should be considered tie
for second place; the fact that Mary
land lost none should not be taken in
to consideration as good way not
to lose is not to schedule.
The scores are all close, too; moth
ing can be granted along that line,
and to the impartial observer, Hop
kins should be counted winner Of the
Mythical State College foot ball
championship.
