H. |. STOTLER Is SHOT and
KILLED BY COMPANION
Federal Prohibition Officer Muir
dered While Making Investi-
cations Near HagerstOwn.

Hunter R. Stotler, Federal Prohibi-
ton Agent, about So years of age,
who was reported yesterday to have
been ambushed and killed by NOON
sinners at a point near Hagerstown,
Washington county, was murdered by
R. E. Walters, Prohibition Agent Of
Hagerstown, according to his own
confession made last night to officials
of Hagerstown.
Walters confession, which came
after he had been grilled for five
hours by the States Attorney of
Washington county at Hagerstown,
declared that he shot Stotler because
the latter had been too attentive to
Mrs. Walters. Stotler, whose home
was in Keyser, West Va, lived at the
Walters home while in Hagerstown.
:, Chief of Three Counties.
Stotler was chief of prohibition
agents for Garrett, Washington and
Allegany counties. He was born near
Rawlings, Allegany county, and had
been a prohibition enforcement officer
more than Is years. He was appoin-
ted four times to positions in the
West Virginia state service and three
times served in Federal enforcement
work. The body of the slain officer
was taken to Keyser last evening.
He is survived by his widow and by
daughter, Mrs. Xavier Tiddy, of Glen
burnie, Md.
Well Known Around Oakland.
He was very well known around
Oakland and vicinity, as he had been
cleaning out many sections of the
county in company with Sheriff W.
D. Casteel and other federal agents.
Stotler, with agents, c. D. Jack and
Perry Barr, left Cumberland Tuesday
to join a group of officers in the
Hagerstown district who were expect
ing to make big raid. Walters and
Stotler left the group to make in
vestigations, and at a dense part of
the woods, Walters reported that
moonshiners had fired from ambush.
Decided Time Was Opportune.
His confession late last night how
ever, tells another tale. Walters is
alleged to have told the attorney
that sometime ago he had heard that
Mrs. Walters and Stotler had im-
proper relations and that she had adj
mitted it upon being questioned. At
that time, Walters said, he decided
to kill Stotler, but had not formulated
any plan.
Engine trouble developed on their
investigation trip, and Walters is
said to have thought the time an OPP
perfume one. He fired shot into
his head, two more into his body,
and then fired several shots through
the windshield of the car, making it
appear that the car had been attacked.
Report of his death was told i'm
mediately by Walters, but the circum-
stances of the ambush would not
satisfy the authorities, and he was
questioned for about five hours when
he broke down and confessed.
Sticks to Story.
Up until the time of his confession
Walters stuck to the story that both
were sitting in the front seat when in
passing a place where shrubbery was
very thick, volley of fire was
opened, three shots striking Stotler,
two in the breast and one in the
head. An inquest will be held this
evening.

LENDING MONEY TO FARMERS

Friends of the Federal Farm
Loan system will do well to watch
carefully the administration of this
great undertaking under the new
commissioner, Eugene Meyer, Jr.
Mr.. Meyer has gone in with an
entirely new Board, in order to
carry out the policies of the Admin
lstration. He is himself a very able
citizen, with ideas of his own. But
he has gone in as the representa-
tive of the Treasury Department
and not as the representative of the
farmers.
In a recent conference with the
editors of the Farms and Fireside
magazine, Mr.. Meyer discussed the
problems of the Farm Loan System.
He is the virtual dictator of huge
baking system with assets of over
two billion dollars. He plans to
weed political skullduggery and in
efficient practices. If he succeeds
in eliminating these undesirable
features without sacrificing any of

WiIliarnsviIle
(Near Selbyville)

/ Williamsville school is running
very nicely. Every child seems to be
very much interested. Each child is
responsible for some special duty.
They are as follows: Last week op-
ening exercises were conducted by
George Coulbourne and Nellie Nc
Cabe. Games for the school ground
were managed by Carl Pepper and
Verlie Cropper. Victrola played by
Matte Adkins. This week, September
$3.50: Games, Monday, Vollie Gray
and Madeline Bunting; Tuesday, Mel
lie McCabe, Varnie Murray; we'd
nesday, James Murray and Ethel
Savage; Thursday, RhOda Hawk and
George Coulbourne; Friday, Anna
Williams and Arlanta Rodney.
The following children have re-
ceived black marks-we won't tell
this week as two marks are the most
received by any person.
Black marks are received for any
misdemeanor of any kind; so you
see it's quite hard to go to school
for whole month without getting
few. But we think its serious II over
5 are received.
~Stopi Look! Read! Reports are
given to each and every child next
week. Look at them, examine them
and talk about them. You can easily
tell what a child is doing by his re-
mort card. The marks are as follows:
A-admirable 9O-1O0; B-very good
SO-89; .C-average 1913; D-poor'
6O-69; E-failure, 5O-59.

schools of Delaware.

the usefulness of the system to
agriculture, his appointment will be
Justified
Considerable skepticism as to the
wisdom of Mr.. Meyers appointment
has been expressed in the farm
press, but it would be fairer if the
farmers would give him a chance to
show his stuff before starting a
flood of propaganda against him.
There is no doubt as to his great
ability as a financier. He hopes to
accomplish much for rural credit
by cleaning up the Federal Farm
Loan and making it more flexible.

Thee heartily for the many benefits
which thy kind providence has bestOw-
ed upon the Island and its inhabitants
during the past months. Weq realize
very well that Thy fatherly goodness
and mercy have abounded without any
merits on our part.
We earnestly pray Thee to continue
Thy blessings and gladden. our hearts
and to preserve US during this perilous
season from storms and danger.
We pray Thee for the President of
the United States, the Governor of the
Virgin Islands and all in authority.
May they all be given grace to govern
ard act according to Thy good will, that
righteousness and honor may reign in
the land.
We humbly Il seech Thee to direct

benetcent to the people OF the Is

Graciously deign to grant our sup
plications which we humbly present be-

The chairman remarked: Honorable
Members, we would not, | think be doing
justice to the feelings which are upper

time if we passed to the business of the
day without taking notice CT the fresh gap
which has been made in our ranks by the
untimely death of the late End Member
for Frederiksted Country District
(Mr. w, H. Fleming) Mr.. w. H.
Fleming first took his seat in this
Council during the former administration
and after a lapse of several years when
he was not actively engaged in public life
again re entered this Council in 1923; at
the last election he had just been re elected
to serve a new term by his constituency.
When at our last meeting he forwarded
his patent of election together with an ex-
cuse Of his inability to attend there was no
thought on either side Of more than a tenn
pOrary parting, no foreshaGOWing of a Sc
paration which neither time nor space can
bridge Providence in IFS wisdom was pre-
pairing for him sudden relief from the bur
den of his care and toll. BY the unsearch-
able cOunsels of the DispOser Of events he
has been called suddenly and without
warning to his account.
We here who were associated with him
will remember that certain causes APP
pealed to him and in those instances he
was a strenuous and an uncOmpromising
fighter, but with it all he has left behind
him no resentment and no enmities,
nothing but the memory of a manly and
WANING personality.
