CRISFIELD PLANS TO
ERECT SCHOOL BUILDING
Movement Is Inaugurated To Build
School By Private Subscription.

The following article appeared in
the Baltimore Sun, Saturday, July 10:
Following refusal of the County
Commissioners of Somerset county
to authorize an increase in the coun-
ty taxes or to take other steps to raise
$35 900 for a new school in Crisfield.
movement has been inaugurated to
incorporate a private company to sell
$4,000 worth of stock to provide
funds for the erection of the building.
"The sale of stock by such COM
pany would mark the first financing
of public school by private agency
since the free public school system
vase established in Maryland, it is be-
lieved.
"At recent meeting of the Coun-
ty Commissioners a motion was made
that the board consider ways and
means of giving Crisfield adequate
school facilities. Commissioners Cy-
rus West and Robert H. Maddox vot-
ed against the motion. The only af-
firmative vote was cast by Harry T.
Phoebus, the third member of the
board.
"In the discussion that followed
the introduction Of the motion one of
the commissioners asserted:
"There is too much education in
Somerset county already and the jails
are full of education today"
"The movement to incorporate a
private company to sell stock for the
new school had its inception Wednes-
day night at a meeting Of the Girls
field Rotary Club. Sponsors Of the
movement point out that because of
inadequate school facilities 300 Girls
field children last year were able to
attend school only 80 days, while the
attendance period as fixed by State
law is $50 days.
A bond issue which would have re-
lieved the situation was voted down
at the fall election last year. There
was much sentiment in favor of the
issue in the lower section of the coun-
ty and a good majority was polled in
Crisfeld. The northern and farming
sections of tn county, however, voted
against the measure and it was de-
feated overwhelmingly"

NEGRO BOY ATTEMPTS
TO WRECK R. R. TRAIN
Places Obstruction On Track Near
Princess Anne Which Throws
Motor Truck Off Track

Woodrow Wilson, young colored
boy living on farm short distance
north of Princess Anne, was arrested
yesterday morning, for placing OBJ
structions on the N. Y, p. & N. r. r.,
tracks, which wrecked the railroad
motor car, containing J. K. Lang as
sistant foreman, and his construction
gang.
The method adopted by the negro
was to drive spikes between the ends
of the rails where they are joined by
plates, and where space is left for
expansion. These spikes projected
some inches above the rails land to
prevent their being mashed fiat by an
approaching train, pieces of iron were
placed back of them so that there
would be no bending over of the OBJ
struction.
The motor car was dragging trail
er on which were loaded soft. tele-
phone poles, one end resting on car,
the other on the trailer. On Tuesday
last the car struck the above mention
ed near the curve just north of Prin-
cess Anne, was thrown from the track,
and demolished; fortunately no one
was injured.
The road Immediately placed their
detectives on the case, with the result
that the culprit was found yesterday
morning. A hearing was given yes
terday afternoon, too late for the
Democrat to report the findings of the
magistrate court.
C. B. Freeman, Superintendent of
Telegraph and Signals reports
that this is not the first case of the
sort, and it is specially fortunate that
a passenger train did not strike the
spikes, as it would surely have been
derailed and possible loss Of life
would have ensued.
Wilson confessed his deed, and
gave as reason that he simply want
ed to see what would happen when the
train hit the spikes. 1t would be we'll
il greater oversight should be TAX
en- by parents, white and black, to
keep their children away from rail-
road tracks, since human life might
be in the balance. Wilson has a crimi-
nal record land it is sure he will re-
ceive the full penalty of the law.

EVOLUTION TRIAL COMES
TO AN END In DAYTON
Scopes Found Guilty Of Violating
School Law And Fined $500.
Appeal Taken

Scopes, the Dayton, Tennessee
schoolteacher, was found guilty of
violating the school law and was fined
500 for teaching that man is de-
scended from the lower orders of Gre
alton.
The attempt to introduce scientific
Testimony was denied, and the trial
came to an abrupt close, the only
point to be decided was whether the
defendant had trangressed the Ten
|nesse laws. AS Scopes was emphatic
III his statement as to his teachings,
and it was also shown that they were
evolutionary, there was nothing to do,
as his counsel said, but to find the ac-
cused guilty.
Scopes will appeal the case, and
will never be satisfied, he says, until
the Supreme Court decides upon the
ccnstitutionality of the Tennessee
statute. The trial was a futile one;
it took upon itself a ridiculous aspect,
and brought down upon it the sarcas-
tic notices of many English news
papers.
Just what was supposed to be set
tied by the trial is hard to say. Scopes
had right to think as he pleased,
but the law said he could not teach it
to pupils whose education was being
paid for by the state.
The judge ruled the law constitu-
tional, excluded scientific testimony,
and found the defendant guilty. The
world has not been enlightened by the
discussions, and it knows as much as
Bryan did when questioned as wit
ress by the defnse.
It was rather unusual for a defense
lawyer to call a brother of the prose-
cution as a witness for the accused.
Bryan's testimony revealed as much
as anything could have, that believers
walk by faith and not by sight. OAR
row put many questions to Bryan
which the former knew could not be
answered, and about which the ques-
toner was equally informed with the
quizzed.
1t is unfortunate that the matter
ever got into the courts, as no earthly
tribunal will ever settle the mystery
of birth, living, death, or the hereaf-
ter. Better let the rejection or accep-

The first cost is practically the only cost, and therefore it is much more economical than any other similar device on the market.
 This burner is so constructed that it will last a lifetime without be- ing destroyed, and does not require any repair. All parts will stand up and last in the fire.
