IRA CULP ARRESTED ON
THIRD VIOLATION CHARGE,
Agents Seize Shipment of Beer
And Hold Culp For It's
Manufacture

Ira Culp, of Midland, Allegany
county, formerly of Wilson, Garrett
county, was apprehended for the third
time by Federal Prohibition Agent
George w. Hawkins Tuesday night,
when he was arrested at Laurel Run,
Garrett county, on charge of pos
sessing and transporting beer of
more than legal alcoholic content.
Following his arrest, Culp was
lodged in the Westernport Jail where
he is being held until he can secure a
temporary bond of $1,000 on which to
obtain his release.
Culp was arrested by Hawkins last
winter on a charge Of manufacturing
liquor at his home in Midland When
asked at that time if he desired to
get an attorney he stated that he
would have no need Of lawyer as he
himself was better than any Of the
profession in this section. He waived
preliminary hearing on the charge,
pleaded guilty before Judge Morris A.
Soper and was given a light sentence.
Shortly after his release he was
again arrested by Hawkins on a
charge of making liquor in a house
at Laurel Run. re4ted from Robert
Shaw. He is being held under $500
bond on that charge at the present
time.
His third arrest came Tuesday
night when Agents Hawkins and W.
r. Harvey waited at Laurel Run for
an alleged customary shipment of
beer. About HOO o'clock a truck
carrying three men and four cases Of
beer approached along the roadway.
The beer was said to belong to Culp,
who did not deny the accusation. The
other two men denied ownership and
they were released.

CRELLIN ROAD MAY NOW
Be COMPLETED TO Line
State Roads Commission Asking
For Bids To Finish High
way TO West Virginia

The Maryland State Highway Com
mission, in today's Republican, asks
for bids for the construction Of 243
miles Of concrete roadway from the
town Of Crellin to the West Virginia
State Line adjacent to Hutton, to
which point the West Virginia author
tiles completed a well built concrete
road from Terra Alta several years
ago.
The road from Oakland to Crellin,
also concrete, was completed about
two years ago, the work being stop
ped at the east edge If the Youghio-
gheny River, Just below Crellin, at
which point a bridge will be required
to carry the highway across the river
and on toward the State line.
The section Of road was advertised
earlier in the present year, at which
time the people Of Maryland and also
Of West Virginia congratulated them
selves over the prospect Of having
the highway completed by this time,
but for some reason all bids were re-
iected and the matter allowed to drop
by the State Commission until the
present time.
The Commission gave as its rea-
son for not building the road the lack
OF finances in the road fund for this
purpose. This has now been over
come by the residents of Oakland,
Crellin, Terra Alta, Huston and King
wood paying into the State Roads
Commission office q sufficient sum to
pay the interest on the money re-
Quired for the work, which has been
secured through a loan from a bank
in Baltimore.

r. L. DOLLINGS INVESTORS
ARE SAFE, SAYS MANAGER
Receivership of Company Will
Not Affect Stockholders
Here, He Claims

Baltimore and Maryland investors
in the securitits sold by the r. l..
Dollings Company will not be affect
ed By the outcome Of the petition for
a receivership asked for the Ohio
branch Of the Company, which will
be heard Friday, W. Oscar Anderson,
manager of the Baltimore branche
office said yesterday.
Mr.. Anderson stated that practi-
cally all of the securities sold in
Maryland are in the various indus
trial concerns which are financed thru
the Dollings Company. All these
securities, he said, are per cent pre-
ferred stock on which the dividend
must be paid before the Dollings
Company, which holds only common
stock in the concerns financed, recei-
yes any profit,
The r. L. Dollings Company of
Ohio, the R. L. Dollings Company of
Indiana and the R. L. Dollings Com
pany of Pennsylvania are all separate
concerns, he said, the Baltimore office
being a branche of the latter.
The receivership sought for the
Ohio Company in Columbus, Ohio, is,
he added, merely for the Dollings
Company of that State, and was
asked not by creditors but by stock
holders in the Company, who allege
that it is not being properly managed
The effort is being made, Mr.. Ander-
son said, by those who wish to obtain
control of the Company-Ba Baltimore

ACTION SOON IN
Police GRAF 7
Detective David and Prose-
Cutor Stricken Confer on
Case. Promise Action

Chief of County Detectives Ferd
A. David yesterday took up with
Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken the
case of the two Perth Amboy police
men who have been charged by a
South River bootlegger with "shak-
ing him down" for $2SS. Following
the conference nothing could be
learned as to what steps are to be
taken by the county detectives in
forcing this case but Chief David an
nounced that action Is likely to fol-
low" as a result of his discussion
with the prosecutor.
Since the South River man ap-
peared before David and made the
statement telling of the manner in
which he said he was forced to pay
S2SS to Patrolmen Louis Hansen and
Lawrence Marmon, he has endeavor-
ed to have the case dropped, declar-
ing that he is, not able to Identify
the two officers who did the "shak-
ing down.
As far as can be learned this case
is to be brought before the grand
Jury at an early date. Rumors were
ahoat both in this city and in New
brunswick last week that cases OF
Amboy policemen shaking down"
booze handlers had been investigated
by the grand jury and four indict-
ments returned against four Perth
Amboy cops but this report was
groundless.

That City is Selected for Con-

be Held in 1924
COOLIDGE WANTED IT
Women to be Given Equal
Status With Men as Com
mittee Members
COOLIDGE WANTED IT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Clevc-
land was formally selected today as
the 1924 convention city of the Re
publicans.
Choice of the Ohio city, virtually
certain since the Coolidge campaign
managers indicated their preference
for it, was made final at meeting
of the Republican national commit
tee.
The date of the convention was
fixed as June 10.
The vote for the convention city
was Cleveland 80: San Francisco 10.
Des Moines l. Then on motion of
Committeeman Crocker of Califor-
mia, the selection of Cleveland was
made unanimous.
Southern interests fighting for in
creased representation won a spirit
ed battle against the reduced South
ern representation proposed under
the re-apportionment. National COM
mitteemen from the South and negro
delegations who protested the re-
apportionment succeeded in having
the committee upset the re-appor-
tionment made in 1921 and restore
virtually all of the Souths represen-
tation.
The committee at the same time.
however, decided to largely increase
the power of the northern states by
providing that three additional dele
gates-at-large should be given to all
states carried by Harding in 1920.
