Hearings before the State Corpora.
ton Commission on the application OF
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele.
phone Company of Virginia for gen.
eral increase in rates set for Septem-
Der 80, were formerly postponed Sep
TENDER 10th until November "a. The
announcement by the commission said
inability to complete a survey of the
company's properties throughout the
State and the examination of it's
books made the postponement neces-
sary.
The commissions experts are now
busy with the inquiry into the COM
pany's affairs, but whether this work
can be completed by the new date set
for the beginning of the public hear
ings is problematical. In some quar-
tiers it is thought the survey will take
two or three months longer and that
the hearings will not be started until
after Louis Epes of Blackstone sue
ceeds Judge William F. Rhea on the
commission on February l, next.

Robert Miller, of Sharptown, Wi
comico county, was arrested last Fri
day outside the home of his father-in-
law, by detectives from Wilmington
Del, who served five writs upon him,
all of which charged forgery. Miller
is said to have resided in Sharptown
with his wife and stepch-child, since
leaving Wilmington where he is al
legged to have fleeced many merchants
with bogus checks.
In the Salisbury City Court he was
held in $1,000 bail for the grand jury
after, it is said, admitting his guilt.
Until August Fl, Miller was employ
ed as guard at the Ferris Industrial
School near Wilmington.
The checks used were old ones and
are said to have been printed for and
stolen from a Wilmington concern
for which he formerly worked. The
alleged forger first attracted sus-
picion to himself while being measur-
ed for a suit of clothing. After CIV
ing the store manager a fictitious
name, the proprietor happened to dis
cover, inside his old coat, the name
Of Robert Miller"
The hunt for Miller carried the
sleuths to various sections of Will
mington, the rural sections of the
county, to Seaford, Del, and finally
to Sharptown where the object of
their search was found outside the
home of his father-in-law repairing
an auto.

"These interstate companies have
come in through the back door," Mr..
West said. "That is, they are operat-
ing under the Supreme Court decision
and not under the jurisdiction of the
State of Maryland. If there must be
local transportation of passengers by
busess along routes established by
railroads the commission feels that
the railroads should be allowed the
first chance of this business.

formed the ceremony and nuptial

Opportunity to engage in the pas
senger motor bus business in compe-
tition with interstate bus lines recent
ly started was offered five railroad
companies operating in Maryland by
the Public Service Commission.
The commission notified the rail-
roads that applications on part of
the railroads for motor bus lines per-
mits would be regarded favorably and
would be given first consideration ov-
er similar applications from bus COM
panies.
The railroads represented at the
conference are the Pennsylvania, Bal
timore & Ohio, Washington Railroad
and Electric Co., Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis Electric Railway
and the United Railways and Electric
Company.
Harold E. West, chairman of the
commission, said the commissions ac-
ton was due to the fact that numer-
Gus interstate bus lines, which are op-
Grating under the recent United States
Supreme Court decision, which ruled
that the commission could not pre-
vent interstate bus operation, are
making efforts to secure privileges of
local transportation business over
their routes.
The commission, he said, has re-
fused to allow such interstate buses
to do local business-that is to haul
passengers from one point to another
within the state.

A warrant sworn out by Frank
Griffin, colored, for Simon Fields, of
the same race, charging him with
maliciously running into his "Ford"
which contained himself and a woman
brought out considerable family mix
ups and both men were compelled to
evenly divide the cost of the trial in
Magistrate J w Jones' Court, Cape
Charles, Va, last Monday.
Frank Griffin who is married man,
had a young negress by the. name of
Flossie Mapp out for an evenings joy
ride. Griffin's wife who is Simon
Fields sister went with Fields in an
ether Ford as the latter pair termed
it to "Fox 'em." When Griffin's
wife and her brother overlook Griffin
and the envious negress, and the car
would not let them pass, Fields and
his sister saw no way out but to cut
the Griffin car down by running into
it After humping and butting sever
al times and rendering both cars al
most helpless to say nothing of break
ing up Griffin whole evening with a
tongue flashing by his wife and broth
er-in-law, Magistrate Jones settled
the difficulties and decided both par
ties were guilty. He omitted the fine.
and made both divide the cost of the
case.

Francis Richardson ,12-year-old-so
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. L. Richardson of
Cape Charles, Va, was strangled un-
til unconscious by an unknown prowl-
er, in the cellar of his parents home.
According to the story told by the
youth, he went to the cellar to put his
bicycle away for the night and after
putting the machine in the corner
started back up the steps leading to
the doorway opening on the yard. AS
he reached about the second or third
steps he was seized from behind and
strangled until unconscious. He was
found about forty minutes later by
his mother who after telling him to
put the bicycle in the cellar had left
the premises to visit a neighbor. On
her return the lad was missing and a
search resulted in his being found in
the cellar. The electric light bulb had
been removed form the socket and
when Mr.. Richardson returned home,
an inspection of the cellar disclosed
that the marauder had built pallet of
some old clothing in one corner and
had evidently been asleep.
Between the time that the lad was
attacked and the arrival of his mother
the prowler escaped leaving no clue
by which his identity might be
learned.
The boys pockets were rifled but
the contents were all found beside
him on the floor and the thought is
expressed by his father that the in
tention of the marauder was to remain
in the cellar and later ransack the
house but he evidently thought he had
been discovered and strangled the
youth that he might make good his
escape.
Young Richardson has completely
recovered from his injuries and is ap-
parently none the worse for his ex-
perience.
On Friday, September 4th, Isaac
Gates, colored man who lives at the
head of Wetipquin Ferry, Wicomico
county, missed cow. Search failed
to reveal the missing animals where
abouts. After looking for ten days
he became convinced that the cow had
been stolen. It was reported that
man from Dorchester had been seen
leaving with two cows, as one only
was known to have been bought by
the party, suspicion was directed that
way for the missing animal. Gates
went to Salisbury and reported the
matter to Sheriff Phillips, who made
a trip to see if he could locate the
cow land could find no trace.
Last week, while walking in the
woods near his home, Gates came
across his COW. She had become en-
tangled in the brush through the chain
she dragged. The cow had been dead
some time. Standing close by, how
ever, was young calf. The cow had
given birth to the calf which was a
live and in good condition. Taking
the calf home Gates sold it to neigh
Dor who had fresh COW and was thus
in a position to rear the motherless
animal.

English blackbird belongs to the
thrush family, of which our hermit
thrush, wood thrush and robin are
prominent members. They all sing
well. In fact, musical ability runs in
the thrush family wherever Its rep
resentatives are found. The English
blackbird Is really our robin, except
that he differs somewhat In appear
ance, the variations being due perhaps
to climatic conditions. No wonder he
can sing! The bird known in England

related at all to our robin except that
both are birds.-Ohio State Journal.

Japanese See Garden
as Picture in Frame

Japanese look upon a garden as a
picture, beautifully designed and
framed, much as the occidental looks
upon a painting, Prof. Takuma Tono,
landscape architect Of Waseda uni
versity, Japan, told Seattle on lee
ture tour Of the United States. Pro-
fessor Tono Is a graduate Of Cornell
university.
"Our japanese gardens are entirely
different from gardens In any other
part Of the world" Mr.. Tono said. "In
all Western nations the garden Is con-
sidered collection Of rare and beau
tiful plants, flowers, shrubs and
trees. rather than the picture for
which the japanese strive. japanese
gardens are more naturalistic than
architectural"
