CLEAN UP AND BEAUTIFY
OAKLAND CAMPAIGN
Launched by the Civic Club; En-
dorsed BY the Mayor and City
Council and G.. of c.

The annual cleanup and beautify
Oakland campaign, launched by the
Oakland Civic Club, and endorsed by
the Mayor and Town Council, the AM
erican Legion and the Chamber of
Commerce of Oakland, will begin on
Monday, May 26th, and continue un-
til every dirty spot within the towns
limits is made spotless 1t is not only
essential to cleanup but also to keep
it up. Make your own premises clean
and beautify; take a pride in your
pavements and streets; see that the
alleys near your premises are kept
clean; plant flowers and keep your
lawn neat.
If you have chickens, keep them in
an enclosure so that they won't annoy
your neighbors.
The Cleanup and Beautify Oak
land movement is not Only for the res
idential section, but the business sec
ton Of the town shou>d be especially
clean and neat. There is nothing more
unsightly than refuse from stores
thrown into alleys ana boxes, crates
and packers placed upon pavements
where they are seen by every passer-
by an act as breeding places for flies
and other vermin. These things are
not only unsightly and detract from
the appearance of the streets, but
are positively unhealthy.
Oakland has good ordinances and
the Mayor and Town Council means
to see that they are enforced. They
are not for one or two residents-but
for all alike.
Think of the Golden Rule-and do
to others what you would like them
to do to you.
We feel sure Of your hearty Coop

KITZMILLER MAN BEATEN
SO BADLY HE may DIE
Joseph WEIGHT Is In Cumberland
Hospital With His Skull Frac-
tured AS Result of Assault

Joseph WEIGHT, aged So years, of
Kitzmiller, Garrett county, is in a
critical condition at the Allegany
Hospital, Cumberland, where he is
suffering from injuries alleged to
have been inflicted by James Burton,
a Kitzmillerville policeman, at Blaine,
West Va, which is located just across
the Potomac River from the Mary
land town, on May Sth.
Burton, at one time a policeman in
Oakland where he served as such for
few days only, is being held in the
Mineral county (West Va.) Jail at
Keyser, West Va, awaiting further
developments in WEIGHTS condition.
According to D. F. WEIGHT, the in
jured mans brother, Joseph WEIGHT
criticised Burton for alleged rough
tactics used in arresting a young man
for being drunk. Burton heard of
the criticism, WEIGHT said, and way
laid his brother at Kitzmiller, on the
night of May 8th. The latter refused
to argue with the policeman, WEIGHT
said, and walked across the bridge
to Blaine, w. Va. Burton followed,
and, according to the Mineral county
authorities, knocked WEIGHT down
with a blackjack and then thumped his
head against concrete sidewalk.
WEIGHT was carried unconscious to
his home where he was attended un-
til Sunday, May II, when he was TAX
en- to the Allegany Hospital where it
was found that his skull was frac-
tured and that he was suffering from
cerebral meningitis. His condition
has been very critical since Monday
evening, according to DR.. William l..
Burns, his attending physician at the

HAWKINS WORK AS DRY
AGENT HERE HAS ENDED
Knew OF His Dismissal May 1,
But Remained Until District
Court at Cumberland Closed

George w. Hawkins, who for the
last three years was in charge of pro-
hibition enforcement in this section,
is no longer employed as Federal
Enforcement Officer. His work ended
when the criminal dockets in U. S.
District Court at Cumberland was
completed last Friday.
Before leaving for his home in
Long Island, N. Y, Friday, Hawkins
would make no statement for publ
cation other than that he intended
to return about the first of June to
complete his unfinished work. At the
time he said he had been notified OF
his dismissal before May 1st, but had
remained in the service until after
the May term of court.
Hawkins attributed his dismissal to
pressure brought to bear by local
politicians and others; who, while
appearing to work for prohibition and
law enforcement, were actually in
league with a bootlegging combine.
Hawkins had a good record and at
every term of U. S. District Court
obtained scores of convictions in con-
nection with raids he had conducted.
Hundreds of stills were captured and
dismantled by him, and at no time
was he known to show favor to the
influential citizens" known to be
bootleggers. His friends say this i'm
partial and honest activity indirectly
brought his dismissal.
Hawkins is held in high esteem by
the police of Cumberland, and accord
ing to Chief of Police Oscar A. Eyer
man he knew how to work with the
police, and the police knew how to
work with him." In recent months
he was instrumental in obtaining
numerous arrests on city charges of
selling liquor, for which the city col
lected fines.
While Hawkins was at the height
of his activity and all during the
three years he was stationed in AL
legany county, powerful interests
have worked to obtain his Dismissal
and at last apparently succeeded. On
numerous occasions charges of mis-
conduct were made against him, bus
as they were without foundation no
legal action was taken.
An investigation as to why he was
dismissed will be made by members
of the Citizens League of Cumber-
land.

knowledge that any of it went to Mr..
Zihlman. The money was repaid by
Mortimer after he, Mortimer, had told
him that Zihlman had received part
of it and did not want to make a re-
payment.
Robinson said he had appealed to
Zihlman before the refund was COM
pleted, telling him that Mortimer said
he had received part of it. Zihlman
emphatically denied having any know
ledge of the transaction between him
and Mortimer, said Robinson, or that
he had received any part of the funds
paid Mortimer.
Committee members said they at
tached a great deal of Importance to
the testimony of Mrs. Zihlman and
Mrs Mortimer, both of whom came to
Zihlman's defense. They testified that
on the occasion when Zihlman and
Mortimer called at Robinson's office,
they were in the party, and they in
sisted it would have been impossible
for the alleged conversation regard
ing the recovery of the alcohol to have
taken place without their knowledge.
The report, presented by Chairman
Burton, of the investigating commit
tee, was referred to the calendar. 1t
was indicated that it probably never
would be called up for House action,
committee members being of the opin-
ion that none was necessary.
