DRY AGENT JAILED
AS MOB THREATENS
Washington Man Held on
Charge of Staying of Havre
de Grace Soldier.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAVRE DE GRACE, Md, August
IA coroner's jury late this after
noon found that John Boungore had
been "shot and killed without justif1-
cation or cause by Prohibition Agent
Joseph A. Ferbershaw and it was the
intention of the said Ferbershaw to
kill him" Ferbershaw. connected
with the Washington prohibition en-
forcement office, was spirited out OF
town by deputy sheriffs and is held
without bail in the Hartford County
Jail at Belair.
Soangore was % years old, a mem
Der OF the 9th Field Artillery, and a
World War veteran. He leaves a
wife and 2-year-old child.
The evidence adduced by the cor
oner's jury was that Ferbershaw,
with another agent of the Washing
ton Office, r. NJ Morgan, came to
Havre de Grace last Thursday night,
sought Buongore and asked him to
get them some whisky. Arrange
ments were made for Buongore to de-
liver two quarts at the Hartford
House, the hotel where the agents
were staying today.
Buongore kept the date and was
met on the porch by Ferbershaw and
Morgan. They paid him for the
whisky. then revealed their identity
and placed him under arrest. Buon-
gore asked permission. when told he
would be taken to Baltimore, to tele-
phone his wife. This was granted
and the agents remained on the porch
of the hotel while Buongore went in
side. Suddenly he dashed out a side
door and away.
Cries of Lynch Them"
Ferbershaw and Morgan pursued
him two blocks through ST. John
street, which was thronged with the
Saturday afternoon crowd of pedes-
trians. Ferbershaw called to Buongore
to stop, and then opened fire as Buon-
gore continued lodging down the
street. Five. shots were fired, the Jury
found, two bullets striking Buongore,
one after he had fallen. FerbershaH-
and Morgan commandeered an auto
mobile and took the wounded man to
Havre de Grace Hospital He was
dead when they arrived.
The shooting threw the town into a
frenzy and excited crowds were gath
ering around the two prohibition
agents when Ferbershaw was placed
under arrest. Deputy Sheriff Dewey
Bowman, who aided in taking Ferber-
shaw to Bel Air, expressed the belief
that the enforcement officer had been
removed from Havre de Grace Just in
time. Cries of lynch him." were
ringing IN the deputy sheriff's ears as
they forced their prisoner through the
crowd, Bowman said
Acting States Attorney Robert
Archer announced tonight that an in
tensive investigation would be insti.
tuted. 1t was understood also that
Investigations were to be made by
Federal authorities. The Hartford
County grand jury will not meet until
september. Whether a special session
will be called will be decided by
States Attorney W. Worthington
Hopkins upon his return to Hartford
County next week, he said.

mllnon francs IN FAVOR OK the prOteC-
torate in IFS trade with France. The
French imperiahsts shipped two hun
dred million francs worth Of com
modities into Morocco and took into
France from Morocco two hundred
and four million francs worth Of COM
modities. Recently there has been no
ticeable heavy expenditure in Mo
rocco for great quantities OF equip
ment and supplies for railways, ports
and such other works. Local taxa
ton and revenue Of the colonial gov
crnment monoDclies. such IS Of the
phosphate mines, supply the hulk Of
the source for this expenditure.
Coal, cotton goods. sugar, wine, tea
and kerosene are among the leading
imports into Morocco. The United
States supplies nearly 80 per c. Mt Of
Moroccan imports of minerals, oils and
kerosene. France supplies nearly 70
per cent Of the cement and other con-
struction supplies. All in all, the
French imperlaiists supply about IS
per cent OF the total Moroccan i'm
ports.
The live stock, cork and phosphate
constitute the Principal agricultural
exports from Morocco. France and
Spain take more han 50 per cent of
the phosphate exports. France and
England consume the bulk of Moroc-
can barley. Niaety per cent OF Mo-
roccan wheat and the. greatest pro-
portion Of Moroccan beans, wool.
sheepskins, cattle hides, gums and
seeds 90 to France. In 1924 Morocco
sent nearly 100000 head Of sheep,
hogs and cattle to France.
Moroccan Industrial Development.
THE last decade has seen four years
= Of rapid progress in the develop
ment Of the transportation system of
the country. This is especially true
in the construction Of highways now
radiating in many parts of the coun-
try. The passenger and freight traffic
have thus been tremendously facili-
tated.
At the same time railroad construc-
ton has been increasing steadily.
These are only some of the signs Of
industrial developments of Morocco
which are proving of great help to the
French imperialists in decreasing
their dependence upon foreign sup
plies for the raw materials which
their industrial machine demands.
Lessons from the Moroccan Conflict.
ME can safely assume, unless pres
entity unforeseen circumstances
intervene, that the French imperiIa-
lists will go to the limit in their eff
forts to subdue the Abd-el-Krim forces
and to smash the aspirations of the
Riffs for a completely national indie
pendent Morocco. This contest is
turning into a tug-of-war between the

Why Are the French Fighting in Morocco?

economic and military resources Of
the French imperialists on the one
hand and the nationalist enthusiasm
and energy, the fighting spirit and
military skill Of the Riffs led by ADD
el-Krim on the other hand.
The Riffs are flushed with their vic
tory over Spanish imperialism. The
Riffs are bent on restoring Morocco
to the Moroccans. The French inn
perialists are still flushed with pride
because Of their victory over German
Imperialism. The French imperialists
dare not voluntarily yield an inch Of
ground to the conquering Riffs. lest
sharp entering wedge be driven into
their imperialist structure.
In this struggle between the impe-
rialist forces on the one hand and the
colonial masses on the other hand
we find a classic illustration OF the
respective roles played by the social
lists and the Communists in the in
ternational struggle against imperial
ism, Of which the colonial struggles
are only a part.
The socialist party Of France, after
hesitating, wavering, floundering and
compromising, has definitely gone
over boot and baggage to the impe-
rialist camp Of Painleve. The inter
ests Of the aristocracy, the uppermost
strata, Of labor are endangered, ac-
cording to the views OF the leaders
Of the. socialist party OF France, by
the menace 70 a French military dis
aster In Morocco.
The Communists, on the other hand,
led by such valiant fighters against
militarism and Imperialism as Doriot
are openly resisting French imperial
list aggression in Morocco. The Com
munist Party of France, like the Com
munist parties Of the other countries,
are soHdly lined up with the colonial
people of Morocco, oppressed by
their respective national imperialist
cliques.
T LIKEWISE we may look forward to
LIT the British imperialists coming to
the rescue of the French and Spanish
imperialists, who have already united
in their efforts to defeat the conquer
ing Riffs. We may without doubt look
to the union of all imperialist forces
in this anti-imperiaIist struggle as we'll
as in all other anti-imperialist strug-
giles. AS this Moroccan struggle
broadens and becomes more intense
we may expect that the participation
of the Communist parties of the world
under the leadership 70 the Commu-
mist International will simultaneously
increase.
Morocco is a great prize for French
imperialism. But Morocco may yet
turn out to be veritable graveyard
for the hopes of the arrogant French
imperialists.

Gas Tax

fSr1 HE Motor Bus Association Of
Indiana-at the annual con-
- vention Tuesday-advocate
an increase of cent in the gasoline
tax.
It isn't customary for taxpayers to
beg heavier burdens for themselves.
But the bus men are actuated by
canny business sense. Gas tax
means good roads. For which there
is an insistent demand.
So probably no other levy in.
flicted by the State is so generally
approved as the gasoline fax. For
it supplies the money to satisfy the
craving for roads. Yet its exactions
fall in proportion to benefits re-
ceived.
Therefore 1t is as near perfect
tax method as has been devised.
And according to simple arithme-
tic If the 2-cent tax will build 500
miles of improved roads annually a
10-cent tax will build $500 miles.
Which is the way advocates of an
increased tax figure.
However, somewhere along the
line with any tax the law of dinin-
ishing returns gets in its dirty work.
AS 1t now stands the State gaso-
line levy is the goose that lays the
golden eggs. Before the tax is raised
there should be reasonable certainty
that 1t will increase the yield Of
golden eggs, not slay the goose.

any session in several years.
/ Which indicates that this Legisla-

number of bills. And the frail hope
Of a short, snappy session is strsn-
gled sumnarily.
Presumably each of these aspiring
laws has merit or demerit deserving
consideration. But to read each bill
carefully would take all of con-
scientious lawmakers time during
the session.
He would have to neglect other
official duties. Such as standing
around the Hobbies in statesman
like pose.
Most legislators are embued with
honest desire to serve the State eff
f1ciently. And to exercise sound
Judgment. They are neither cor
rupt nor incompetent.
But it is humanity impossible for
q legislator to determine the actual
merits Of every measure on which
he votes. His vote must often be
either guess or blind reliance on
some leader.
It isn't legislative lack Of good i'm
tentions and ability-it's the system
.of flooding the hopper with a vast
number of bills on every conceivable
subject that is responsible fo= so
much half-baked legisl,. tion.

bought and sold abroad during the
first nine months Of 1924
Compared with business as it was
done before the war, we both bought
and sold in much greater volume.
For instance, where We used to ex-
port about 10000 automobiles in nine
months, we sent over 135, 1000 in the
first three quarters of 1924. This is
an increase Of LOTT per cent.
Similarly, whereas we used to inn
port in nine months before the war
about 16,OO0,0OO pounds OF raw silk,
we bought in 34,OOO,O00 pounds in

of II per cent.
