MARYLAND TO
RENEW Fight
TO TRY AGENTS
Encouraged by U. S. Su.
preme Court Ruling Fav-
oring State Tribunal.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 Ne1r York A 1,PnMe


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The
State of Maryland will make a
second attempt to have Federal pro-
hibition agents tried for offenses in
State courts.
The State recently won a partial
victory when the u. S. Supreme
Court held that four agents accused
of the murder of Lawrence Wenger,
Maryland farmer, may be tried in
the Suite courts unless they show
more fully that they We're operat-
ing In line OF duty when Wenger
was killed.
Following a practice customary
over the country, the four agents
had been taken from the State juris-
diction and were to be tried in the
Federal Court.
The Supreme Court held unre-
servedly that the agents could be
tried in the State courts on charges
of perjury and conspiracy to OBJ
struct justice, companion charges to
that Of murder.
The State, however, will also ap-
peal the case of Prohibition Agent
J. M. Furbershaw, accused Of muir
der for killing John Bungori, sus-
pected bootleg gegr, when the latter
mRn after arrest at Havre De Grace,
E ID, last summer.
Furbershaw also has been taken
from the State authorities, and is
awaiting trial before Federal Judge
Soper at Baltimore. This case, ac-
cording to Attorney General Robin
son of Maryland may clear up the
general principle as to whether pro-
hibition agents unreservedly enjoy
the status of Federal revenue agents
and are entitled to transfer to Fed
eral courts for trial.

the increase in the number Of ma
chimes has been notable, that fact
is negligible in tracing the cause of
accidents, Hinkle says.
Grade crossings come in for their
share of the toll, claiming honors
for thirty-seven Of the 1903 deaths.
Twenty-one Of the crossing fatalities
were on steam roads and sixteen on
fractions. In addition, nineteen per-
sons were injured at crossings.
Chief contributing causes for the
accidents listed were intoxication,
glaring headlights, narrow road
ways and bridges and collisions with
telephone and telegraph poles too
near the travelled roadway.
