Nd. twenty-two-year-old Fsl
Athens Mcclellan today frankly
admitted that he stabbed the
woman's husband to death with
penknife, but contends that he
made the thrust with Mr.. Simns
towering over him, swinging the
back of a chair and threatening
to kill him.
Telling for the first time his
story of the tragedy, which has
caused a stir throughout Mont
gomery county because Of the in
sistence of neighbors that "Mrs.
Simms and the boy were too in
innate" young Mcclellan today
declared to a Washington Times
reporter that "Mr. Simms was
coward, who had already threat
ened to start a rumpus and hit
Mrs. Simms in the jaw, so +
knew that he would stop at moth
ing when he went after me with
his chair-back."

The boy had sent a night letter
to his Georgia home Saturday night,
telling them Of his plight, but he
as yet has received no reply. The
accused has no counsel and he said
that all the money he has in the
world Is represented in a cheap
automobile on which he owes
money and $45 due him for work
on the State road.
In one important respect the
story of the tragedy as told by Nc.
Clellan himself and by the solitary
boy witness radically differs. The
boy says that he believes McClel-

which ended in MIR. Simms being
stabbed to death, while Mcclellan

Establishment of a boat line be-
tween Baltimore and Seaford, Del, is
proposed. The movement has been
inaugurated by local business men
and has made sufficient progress to
indicate that there is more than a
probability of success.
1t is proposed that the line shall
handle freight only, but on fast and
dependable schedule. If the move
ment proves successful large boat
suitable for the trade will be built es-
pecially for this purpose. 1t would be
an oil-burner. If such boat Is built
at the local plant Of the Seaford Ma
rine Railway it would give employ
ment to large number of ship car
penters and other laborers who are
now out of work.
The Baltimore, Chesapeake and At
lantic Railroad formerly operated a
boat line on the Nanticoke river be-
tween Baltimore and Seaford, but the
service was discontinued about a year
ago and there has been no service
from Baltimore by water since that
time.
The present move is headed by
prominent local business men, who
say they have reason to hope that
they will be joined by business men a.
long the Nanticoke river and in Bal
timore.

Crisfield business interests are a
Harmed over the contemplated curtail-
ment of the railroad service in that
city which the Pennsylvania Railroad
is reported to have in mind, and
which first leaked out at hearing be-
fore the Public Service Commission
in Baltimore.
The contemplated change, it is re-
ported, is to abandon a part of the ex-
press and passenger service which
Crisfield now enjoys by removing
the morning and night trains and
leaving the city with but one train
each day. This would probably be the
train which now leaves Crisfeld at
noon and returns at $50 o'clock.
The vast sea food business conduct
ed at that point, amounting to ap-
proximately $1O,OOO,OOO a year, in adj
dition to the many other enterprises,
has always required good Transporter
ton service, and the needs of the city
have hardly been met with three out
bound and three inbound express and
passenger trains as at present.
Local business men and local trade
organizations have had in mind somc
important improvements to the pres
emit service which it was hoped to OBJ
tain in the near future. The an
nouncement, therefore, that the Penn
sylvania Railroad is now contemplate
ing abandonment of a large part of
the service which the city already en-
joys has wrought up the business in
terests of the city considerably.
News Of the Railroads intention
caused sensation among the bust
ness interests when it reached Girls
field and Friday morning of last week
Loire C. Quinn, Jr., president, and A.
Wellington Tawes, vice-president of
the Crisfeld Chamber of Commerce,
called Ezra B. Whitman, chairman OF
the Public Service Commission, by
telephone and entered a protest a.
g inst any curtailment of the rail-
road service which Crisfield now en-
joys.
Major Whitman stated that the
Commission was in full accord with
Crisfield in desiring adequate trans
portation service, and that nothing
would be done or permitted to be done
by the Commission to injure the
transportation service here.
He further stated that the Cham
be of Commerce would be notified of
the next hearing on the subject be-
fore the Commission, and be given an
opportunity to participate in the hear
ing and protest the contemplated
change.
