ROME PRESS HITS
| OIL CONCESSION
Albanian Grant to British
Firm Provokes Warm Re-.
sponse in Rome.
BY the Associated Press.


{ ROME, February 1s.-The entire
Roman press is commenting on the
Uuestion of the concession given by
the Albanian government to the
Anglo-Persian Oil Co. for the exploit
tation OF oil fields in Albania.
According to a semi official state
inent, the Anglo-Persian interests, IN
1921, entered into an agreement with
Albania by which they could search
for oil throughout that country, but
the concession was reduced in 1928 to
a zone of 100000 hectares (494,200
acres), on which actual extraction OF
oil might be made on only $4,000 hec-
tares G23,550 acreS).
The semi official statement points
out that Italy actually began search
for oil in Albania in 1913. This search
was continued on a vaster scale In
1917, during the Italian military op-
erations in Albania. Near Avlona the
italian army succeeded in extracting
some quintals" Ga quintal is about
400 pounds) of oil daily.
y The statement says Italy evacu-
ated Albania in 1920, desiring to af-
firm the principle of Albania's inde-
pendence, but that this should not be
taken as meaning 1talys disfnterest-
edness in the oil production there. In
fact it declares, in 1924 the Italian
state railway negotiated concession
from Albania to exploit for so years
an oil zone of $4,000 hectares 123,550
acres).
Z Therefore," says the Idea Ma
zionale, which prints the statement,
eff the claim of the Anglo-Persian
company is valid, it must be admit
ted that equally valid, If not more
so, are the Italian claims. The ques-
tion, however, must be discussed in
the regular friendly spirit between
Italy and England. taking into ac-
count especially the respective real
interests of the two countries in AL
bania'
Commenting on the situation, the
Impero remarks: England possesses
four -fifths of everything possessable
fn the world. Why shouldn't she
leave to Italy the few crumbs that
have fallen from her banquet table?"

PROTOCOL Is FEARED.
Swedish Military Authority Sees
Neutrality Periled.
STOCKHOLM, February

: STOCKHOLM, February 1S-Ad-
hesion to the Geneva protocol would
involve increased military risks for
Sweden in the opinion of Gen. Ham
marskjold, who is chief of the army
staff and recognized as the country's
beading military authority. His prin-
cipal argument is that since the
League of Nations was founded Rus
STA has grown as factor in the
worlds military situation, and that if
the protocol is signed by Sweden, it
might have to forego it's traditional
policy of neutrality, through which
it succeeded in keeping out of the
World War.

KENT LEVY COURT HAS NO
FUNDS FOR INDECENT POOR
Failed To Include $4,000 Needed In
The Yearly Budget

At Tuesdays session of Kent
County Levy Court, Earl D. Wiley,
representing property owners near
Mastens' Corner, appeared before
the Court asking for the establish
ment of the exact lines of county
road, about which there has been
some discussion. Engineer Todd was
instructed to visit the place and re-
port his finding to the court.
Engineer Todd explained the con-
tract and specifications prepared by
him for the Mahon's Ditch Road
which was authorized last week.
Frank Hall Davis, attorney for
the court was called upon to explain
the provisions of the law relative to
Kent county's apportionment for
taking care of the county's INDECENT
poor as authorized by the last leg
islature. The amount for Kent coun-
ty is $4,000. AS this amount was not
included in the budget when the tax
levy was made, it is a question as
to where the finances will come
from to meet the obligation. The
matter was held under advisement.

his birthday-he being well in his
eighties. Like Mr.. Truitt, he like
wise is enjoying the best of health.

MARYLAND SLAYER BREAKS
JAIL BUT IS RECAPTURED
James Baker Among Prisoners Who
Left Snow Hill Jail

Four prisoners awaiting trial, one
of them a confessed slayer, escaped
from the Worcester County Jail at
Snow Hill, Md, early Friday morn
ing. Among them was James Bak-
er, confessed slayer of James Carey,
an aged farmer who was murdered
last July. Three of the men were
captured on Friday, and Baker was
taken into custody Saturday after
noon at Chincoteague, Va.
It is thought the escaped prison
ers had assistance of outside friends.
The four men dug away the bricks
and loosened the bars of window
while one of them, Purnell, played
his guitar until two o'clock Friday
morning to prevent the sounds of
the removal of the bars being heard
by Warden w. w. DAVIS. The pris-
oners were checked up by Warden
Davis at midnight The four who es-
capped had been confined in one large
cell. Warden Davis heard Purnell
playing his guitar until two O'Clock
when all became quiet.
At 6:3O o'clock, Calvin Hayman,
passing the Jail, saw the open win
dow beneath the Jail ewes, and also
a pile of bricks and mortar beneath
it. He notified Warden Davis, and
then the f1ightsof the four prisoners
was discovered.
