SPEEDY TRIAL FOR
NEGRO MURDERER
Judge Duer Sets January 9Th For
Hearing-Court Trial Called
For January 18th

A special session of the Somerset
county Grand Jury will determine the
fate of Harry Merrill, 22 year old
negro now in the Baltimore city Jail
where he was taken for safety after
the fatal shooting of Deputy Sheriff
Louis L. Dryden and officer Orrie J.
Carey, of Princess Anne on December
18th, 1924.
Judge Robert F. Duer has fixed
January 9Th as the tentative date for
convoking the Grand Jury, contingent
upon the physical condition of officer
Carey who has been at the Peninsula
General Hospital in Salisbury since
the shooting. Reports at the hospital
indicate that he is rapidly recovering
from the effects of the three pistol
charges that entered his body.
Should Carey be in a condition to
testify before the jury on the date
fixed, Judge Duer has indicated that
the investigation will be completed
and the findings made ready for the
presentation to the January term of
the Circuit Court and the trial to de-
eide the negro's fate will then begin
on January 18th.
Judge Duer reached a decision to
hasten the trial of Merrill after con-
sulting with many of the prominent
lawyers of the Somerset court and
other prominent citizens, it is said. 1t
is his opinion that the special session
of the court can be held at a cost that
will not exceed the expense of keeping
the negro prisoner in the Baltimore
city Jail until the regular April term.
The court will appoint an attorney
to defend Merrill and the trial will be
held in Princess Anne. Sentiment in
the Somerset County seat at the pres
ent time is said to be in favor of per-
mitting peaceful trial for the negro
and the authorities are not anticipat-
ing a repetition of the threats of
lynching.
Merriil's trial will furnish the eli
max for the worst crime and subse-
quent sensational manhunt the coun-
ty has ever witnessed.

CHRISTMAS PARTY
BY GIRL SCOUTS
Santa Claus Visits Little Girls And
Boys In The City Hall On
Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve the Girl Scouts
of Evergreen Troop No. 1 staged a
regular Christmas party for the bene-
fit of some children in town who were
not to receive many gifts on Christ
mas day.
All the girls sand boys were there
at o'clock and from that time until
s on Wednesday evening there was
noise, noise, noise, in the City Hall.
The hall was brilliantly lighted
with red paper-covered electric lights.
At the far end of the room on the
platform tree was standing beauti-
fully lighted and trimmed.
At seven o'clock when the fun was
at it's height, someone announced the
coming of Santa Claus. Such an up
roar as then rent the air cannot be
described. Santa hurriedly went to
his task of giving presents to each
child from the huge pack which he
carried
Everyone received several toys and
some candy. They all seemed we'll
satisfied with the things they got,
such as horns, dolls, wooden kitchen
utensils, automobiles, tiny carts, etc
About seven-thirty, the gifts being
distributed among the children, they
gave three cheers for Santa Claus,
and he left amid the uproar.
The fact that Captain Wilson was
present and delighted the guests with
several storiess of Christmas before
Santa came on the scene must not be
omitted.
1t can be truthfully said that this
was as great a success as the party
given in 1923.

POCOMOKE FIREMEN
HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET
Given In Community Room Of M. E.
Church New Years Night
Eight Guests Present

The annual banquet of Pocomoke
City Fire Department was held in the
Community room of Salem NJ. E.
Church, on the evening of last Thurs
day New Years Day.
Twenty-one members out of the
total of twenty-five were present.
Besides these, the Mayor and City
Council, clerk, E. W. Ross, chief of
police, w. A. Stroud, as representing
the official department of the city,
were guests of the company. DR.. A.
A. Parker, Frank w. Byrd, and E. J.
Clarke were also honored wit hinvi-
tations.
A menu consisting Of salt water
oysters on the half shell, turkey,
dressing, sweet potatoes, white pota-
toes, green peas, cranberry sauce,
pickles, crackers, celery hot rolls,
beaten biscuits, was prepared.
These were very splendidly and eX-
peditiously served by the ladies of the
church, and no one failed to do JUS
tice to the repast.
After the dinner, E. J. Clarke, act
ing as postmaster, called on many of
those present for speeches. Mayor
W. E. Hall, and all the members of
the Council-R. H. Robertson, w. H.
Dryden, and George H. Evans re-
sponded. Chief A. Picken, James Dry
den, w. A. Stroud, and F. w. Byrd,
also spoke. All expressed themselves
as delighted with the evenings en-
tertainment, and the invited guests
held out hopes that, if the beginning
of another year should find them all
alive and well, the Firemen would re-
member them the same way.
These banquets are bright spot in
the lives of those who hold the safety
of the city in their hands. At all
times these men have shown a high
degree of efficiency, and prompt
answer to every call. Their work is
voluntary; their pay negligible, and
were these social gatherings more fire.
quent, the boys would get no more
than what is coming to them.

Father OF Mrs. H. J. Rowe, Of
City, Dies AT Old Age In

AUTOMOBILES DISPLAY
new LICENSE TAGS
Color Changes From Red And Black
To Green And Whichever
10000 Not Yet Delivered

Automobile tags turned green over
night. Thursday morning found the
red and black of 1924 displaced by the
green and white of 1925. 1t is the
opinion Of many that the new tag is
an improvement over the old. The
combination of the rather aluminium
gray than white, with the green
makes a more pleasing blend.
AS the old year faded away into
history, it left about $4,000 auto own
ers in the State without tags. But
there have been more issued this year
up to the last day of December than
at the same time last year. Commits
sioner Baughman reports that 223,O0O
tags had been delivered at the close
of business on Wednesday, against
1874, ,472 last year, which approximates
10000 gain over 1924.
Baltimore city governmnt is being
helped out in its tax collecting, by
the regulation that man must pay
his taxes before he can receive his
tag. The auto has become such a
necessary adjunct of business and So
ciety in general that it must be had
altho' it comes high. So the delin-
quents come up and settle up.
Maryland has no extension period
so the old tag will receive no recog-
milton after January 1. In Virginia
and some other states, the owner has
from ten to thirty days to procure his
tag. So the latter comers and goers
will have to give the road cop wide
berth and turn into the woods when
thev see him coming.

GIRL HIKERS MAKE
TRIP TO POCOMOKE
Walk The Distance OF Fifteen
Miles From Princess Anne
In Five Hours.

AS an evidence that the so-called
weaker sex" is capable of perform
ing some of the stunts of their male
brethren, six young ladies of Princess
Anne journeyed to Pocomoke City on
Friday of last week, taking passage
in "Walkers" hack.
These hikers left the Somerset capi-
tai about 8 o'clock in the morning,
arriving in Pocomoke City about P,
NJ. The trip consumed, then, approx
mately five hours, showing that the
girl pedestrians had covered about
three miles per hour-a very good
average.
After partaking of a substantial
meal at ane of Pocomoke's restau-
rants, some young men, friends and
acquaintances living in this city, took
pity on the party and carried them
home in autos.
Outside of little attack of "that
tired feeling" the young ladies ex-
perienced no discomfort from their
trip, and are ready to repeat the dose.
Those taking the endurance test
were Misses Dorothy Horner, Doro-
thy Henderson, Delsie Henderson,
Daisey Adams, Amanda Taylor, and
Eloise Sexton.
The good Samaritans who took
them back to Princess Anne were.
William Mason, Hoyt Bloodsworth

ANOting the Loot

The loot that is expected to flow into the Golfers
Of the allied nations result of the work of the
Dawes plan, has been allotted and the capitalist
press heaves very audible sigh of relief. Every
thing is lovely and the goose hangs high.
The limitation of $350,000,00O as the share of
the American robber clique was eliminated and the
House of Morgan will proceed now to take all the
traffic will bear. The rest of the allied bankers
viii squawk, but it will do them little good They
all owe the enterprising firm of Morgan lot of
money that they cannot pay and for that reason
will be treated like insOlvent debtors usually are.
The important thing about the conference was
that it indicated temporary sinking of the ma
tional antagonisms under the leadership of the
bankers Of Great Britain and the United States.
Some sort of harmony is greatly desired by the
fnancecapitasts who rule these nations in view of
the serious crisis in Germany, Italy and the Bal
kans.
1t is fairly certain that the continued and rapid
improvement of the economic, political and inter
national status of Soviet Russia had much to do
with the handshaking that took place in Paris
Tuesday between the allied delegates
Signing the agreement were delegates represent
ing Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan,
the United States with the little jacket nations of
Portugal, Greece, Roumania, JugoSlavia, Czecho-
Slovakia and Brazil.
We predict that this harmony will last until the
first payment under the Dawes plan is due. Then
there will be more dissension among this carrion
crew.
