Court Upholds Right
OF Mule To Enjoy

ELKTON, Md, Jan. 25.-An
opinion handed down by the
Cecil County court will permit
mules belonging to Magistrate
B. p. Nichols and Harry Wood
row, at Rising Sun, to hee-haw
to their hearts content in the
future.
Some weeks ago Miss May
B. Horwitz had an injunction
issued against Nichols and
Woodrow on the ground that
their mules braying and haw-
ing at nights disturbed her
sleep and made her nervous.
A few days ago Albert D..
Mackey, attorney for the own
ers Of the mules, filed a de-
murrer to the bill of injunc-
ton, and the court rendered its
decision sustaining the de-
murrer. This, in effect, will
permit the mules to enjoy them
selves by keeping the plaintiff
and her neighbors awake at
night.

Distorp of Dour 32a me
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN,
MENDELSSOHN
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Mendei.
RACIAL ORIGIN-German.
SOURCE-A Given name,

HNSt0I OHIGiN-Germdn.
SoURcE-A given name.
Most Of the German family names
which end in ''sohn," the equivalent of
the English son" and the Swedish and
Dutch "sen," are of low German de-
velopment. That is to say, Of the North
German sections.
Where, as in the name Of Mendels-
sohn, you have the IS of the posses
sive case still present in front of the
s. of the word "sohn," you can be rea-
sonably certain that the name de-
veioped in the low countries rather than
in the southern sections of Germany.
Mendel was simply one of the Ger
man abbreviated forms of the given
name of Emmanuel or Emanuel So the
family name Of MendeIsSohn would be
properly translated into English as I'M
manuelSon, which translation, however,
YOU will find very difficult to locate in
any telephone or city directory. though
the shorter form of Emanuel is some
times to be found.
Mendel or Mandel may be Of North
German origin or not, and your only
guide SO far as they are concerned is to
know something of the genealogy in the
individual case.

 MORS SHOOTING
Continued from First Page)

grand jury will indict Mccoy for the murder of Mrs Mors, when it meets again next Tuesday. Mrs. Mors, he points out, was right handed; the bullet entered her left temple. Further. the alleged confes- sion of Mccoy to his sister, Mrs. Jennie Thomas that he had just had to kill that woman," still weighs heavily against his suicide explanation of her death.
 The three victims of the Westlake district shooting. William Ross, and Mir. and Mrs. Schapp, were all re- ported recovering rapidly. though it was not believed they would he able to appear before the grand jury Tues day.
 A possible fifth victim of the shoot ing tangle was sought by district at torney's investigators, as a result of an amplfiod statement yesterday from Mrs Thomas, in which Mccoy was quoted as saying in reply to her uues- tion. Did you kill the man too?"
 "Yes, l got him too, and I am go- ing to get some of the others"
 The story told by Mrs. Martin Is the newest factor in the already tangled case. Mrs. Martin was taken to the apartment house by captain of detec- lives Cline and there she repeated her story.
 Then she was taken to the city jail. to the cell occupied by Mccoy. The prisoner was made to walk, to lean a against the wall.
 Mrs, Martin was positive Mccoy was mot" the man she had seen.
 Despite her alarm after what she had heard and seen. Mrs Martin went back to bed and to sleep, she told po- lice
 'I thought perhaps one of these men was a policeman and that the other was the fugitive"
 A subpoena has been issued for the appearance of Mrs Martin before the grand jury Tuesday.

FIREWORKS KILLS
 GIRL; IA INJURED
Three Others Expected to Die
 After Premature Explosion

Camden. N. J.. Aug. 1e.--A 12-year- 'old girl was killed and six persons were seriously and eight slightly in- jured last night in an explosion at a fireworks display being held on a va cant lot in celebration of the Feast of the Assumption. Myrtle Farrell was killed almost instantly. Physi- clans say at least three of the injured will die.
 Several thousand people were gath cred on the lot. The fireworks were being set off in an iron pipe placed diagonally in the ground. When one of the attendants was about to light the fuse there was terrific explosion, which sent fragments of the pipe in all directions. Most of the seriously hurt were struck by flying pieces of the iron pipe.
