NEGRO TO Die FOR ATTACK
ON DAISY WELLING
Washington Jury Makes Manda-
tory Death Sentence For West
ernpOrt WOman's Assailant

Washington, D. c., April 81
Found guilty of criminal assault on
Mrs. Daisy yelling, former resident
of Westernport, Md, in the Capitol
grounds on the night of February Is,
last, Philip Jackson, negro, will pay
the death penalty recommended by
the jury in court here today.
In finding Jackson guilty, the jury
recommended the extreme penalty, for
the court to sentence the negro to
be executed.
During the trial, Mrs. yelling, who
is a telephone operator and the divor-
ced wife of Carter yelling, Oakland,
positively identified Jackson as the
man who attacked her as she walked
through the grounds on her way home
from the hotel where she was en-
ployed. Jackson attempted to prove
an alibi, but wilted under the merc-
less cross-eXamination of the Prose-
cutting Attorney. The negro also re-
pudiated his alleged confession, de-
claring police obtained it by force.
Brutal Attack.
The brutal attack on Daisy yelling
was one of the most revolving crimes
in the history of Washington, and
shocked the entire city. The young
woman, dubbed into Inconsistencies
by her assailant, was in a critical con-
dition for several weeks afterwards.
The negro, after beating her over the
head with brick, assaulted her and
left her for dead.
Remained in Critical Condition.
A passerby discovered her lying in
the hedge about thirty minutes after
the assault and she was sent to
hospital, where she fingered between
life and death for several weeks.
Washington police arrested more than
half dozen suspects within few
hours after the alarm was spread.
The Senate offered $1,000 reward for
the arrest of the negro and the police
department added $500.
Jackson, who was among the sus-
poets arrested by police, was identi-
fed by Mrs. yelling when he was
brought before her at the hospital
Police announced that the negro con-
fessed his guilt several days later.

Occupant-Other Grantsville
Happenings
(By G. w. Diefenbach)

Grantsville, Nd, April 27th.-An
automobile collision, which cost Cecil
Myers, age 26, of Cumberland, his
life, occurred on Sunday midnight on
the Pennsylvania Trail near the Penn
sylvania State Line and about ore and
a half miles north of the Pike. Myers
was driving a REQ sedan, enroute
from Woodlawn, Pc, where he had
spent the weekend, to Cumberland,
accompanied by his wife, Rose Myers,
Herman Myers, brother, Henry Hell
kin, all of Cumberland, and Misses
June and Ethel Odgers, of Fcostburg.
The car with which they lided was
driven by Walter Slick, ohnstown,
Pa, and was accompa7 i by Glen
Rankin, Joe AXE, Frank Nudge, also
of Johnstown, Pa, and Misses Cathe-
rine and Jean Short, of Myersdale,
Pa, who had been out for drive,
having gone as far as Addison, Pa,
and were returning. There is slight

the Myers car was going up grade
and the other in the opposite direc-
ton. There must have been terrif-
fic crash, according to the testimony
given to the Coronor's jury, which
convened on Monday afternoon for in
vestigation. Irwin Maust, who lives
nearly a half mile away was attending
to his brooder house stoves at the
time and testifes that he heard loud
crash, heard the screams of womer
and within few minutes saw tn
blaze from the car, the one in which
Myers was driving was completely
burned up. According to testimony,
this car was thrown completely over
on it's top, Myers was pinned fast in
some indescribable way and could not
be released until all of the men from
both cars turned the machine over
which released the body, and which
was burned considerable. The other
occupants were pulled out, without
serious consequences, except Mrs.
Myers, who was slightly injured, and
Mr.. Helkin's hands were burned. The
car driven by Slick was an Oakland
touring car and had the left front
wheel badly bent. The machines came
together at the front hubs and the
REQ had the running board crushed.

GAS co. AT S6,8OO,OOO
Company Expected To File New
Schedule of Rates Substantially
Higher Than Present Rate

After a study of six months, the
Public Service Commission Friday
set the valuation of the Cumberland
and Allegheny Gas Company's prop
erty in Maryland and West Virginia
at S6,800,000. The value of its prop
erty exclusively in Maryland was put
at So, 48S, TAO.
Attorneys for the Company at hear
ings held before the commission last
October asserted that the property of
the company should be valued at S10,-
100000. Thomas ]. Tingley, Peoples
Counsel, contended that the valuation
of the company's entire holdings
should be about S4,000,000.
Expected To File New Rates.
With the order of the commission
setting the value of the property, the
gas company is expected to file with
the commission a new schedule of
rates substantially higher than those
now in existence. The company sup
plies natural gas to Cumberland and
Oakland and vicinity besides large
territory in West Virginia. A rate
and valuation case of the company is
pending before the Public Service
Commission of West Virginia.
No valuation of the property of the
gas company ever had been made be-
fore. When, in 1925, the company
asked for higher rates in West Vir-
ginia, Thomas w. Koon, Mayor of
Cumberland, requested that a valua
ton of the company be made to pre-
pare for an anticipated rate increase
in Maryland.
Would Be Effective In 80 Days.
With valuation basis to work on, it
was pointed out, it could be determin
ed whether the rates charged to
Maryland consumers were justifable.
If no protest against the prospec-
tive rates is filed with the commits
sion, the rates will become effective in
thirty days. If protests are made,
however, a rate case to determine
whether the rates are excessive in
view of the valuation will be held.
Harold E. West, chairman of the
commission, said the valuation by the
commission was the first in the his
tory to be made in two states. Engi-
neers of the Maryland commission
and of the West Virginia commission
have worked together to obtain data
in the case. Members of the Maryland
commission also have sat with the
West Virginia commission at hearings
in Charleston.
Appraised by Engineers.
The opinion issued by the Mary
land commission, setting forth rea-
sons for arriving at the valuation, was
written by Ezra B. Whitman, a men,
Der of the commission. 1t asserts that
the company employed engineers to
appraise its property and that engi-
neers of both commissions conducted
Investigations into the physical con-
dition of the different elements of the
property.
Evidences of value of the property,
reproduction cost, overheads, depre-
citation, cost of leaseholds, working
capital, going value and original cost
were studied at every angle, the opin-
ion said.

FARMERS AND FUTURE
FARMERS TO MAKE TOUR
Will Visit Government Farms
at Beltsville and Arlington on
Four Day Trip

AS it has been pointed out many
times by leading Agriculturists and
Statisticians that 80 per cent of
trades, industry and transportation is
based directly or indirectly on Agri-
culture, many farmers of Garrett
county studying the problems of Agri-
culture realized its Importance.
Urged by this motive for the better
ment of Agricultural practices and a
desire to learn how Agricultural OPP
erations are carried on in other sec
tons, many farmers and agricultural
boys have expressed a desire to visit
typical farms in Maryland of the
various phases of agriculture, the
University of Maryland and the Uni
ted States Government Farms at
Beltsville, Md, and Arlington, Va.
The tentative schedule of the trip
as it now stands is to leave Oakland
by bus or private car on Thursday
morning, May 18th, and return Sun
day, May 14th. This date has been
selected because of a special agricul-
tural program which has been arran-
ged for farmers at the University of
Maryland, College Park, Md, on
Saturday, May 18th. This Offers a
special opportunity for Maryland
farmers to see their own experiment
station and to come in contact with
the student and officials of the Uni
versity of Maryland.
Final arrangements ard detailed
program of the trip will / 4 published
at later date. Men or boys desir-
ing to join on the trip may secure in
formation from the County Agent or
the Agricultural Teachers of the coun-
ty located as follows: Mr.. J. L. Nc
Clone, Oakland; Mr. o. T. eraser,
Oakland; Mr.. W. E. Tarbell, Acct
dent; Mr.. M. W. Whiteford, Grants
vile; Mr.. J. H. Carter, F'riendsville.

Youthful Prank at Mt. Lake Re-
suits Seriously.

Fred Landon, II years old, residing
at Mt Lake Park, was pretty badly
manhandled one night recently when
he was forced against his will to &C
company four or five other youths of
the town to Crystal Spring, at the
head of the lake, when he was tied to
a tree and kept a prisoner for some
time. When he was released from
his bonds it is alleged he was struck
in the face by one of his captors and
knocked down. AS a result of the
treatment the youth suffered pain
full bruises, the most serious being to
his right arm in which inflammation
set up and to relieve the condition
the services of a surgeon were re-
quired and an operation was per-
formed Monday. 1t is said that ar
rests will follow in few days.

her."

Los ANGELES, June 80 QP-
Congressman Joseph Grail of
Los Angeles, dropped a depth
bomb into the Boulder canyon
dam controversy here today with
the statement that he would ask
congress to denote Arizona from
statehood. s
His proposed action, said the
congressman, was based on Ari-
zona's vote last May TO eliminate
certain provisions from the state
constitution in order to further
its opposition to proposals from
elsewhere in developing the Colo
RADIO river.
Grail charged that ArizOn&
'had violated, annuled and re-
nOunced the constitution of tho
United States" and declared that
at the next session of congress
he would introduce a resolution
to repeal the act admitting Ari-
zona to the union and return
her to the status of a territory.

US. Army ADiators,
Heroes Of Honolulu.
Flight, Are Honored'

HONOLULU, T. H, June 80 tP)--
Lester ]. Maitland and Albert Hegen-
berger, youthful army aviators who
arrived here yesterday morning by
airplane from Oakland Cal, sub
nlitted themselves today to the process
Of being honored for their feat and
found it embarrassing.
Hegenberger explained, at a COM
munity luncheon given in their honor
at which the. nervousness Of the two
airmen was plainly apparent, eve
are beWildered. We don't know just
how we do feel"
Four times during the luncheon
the crowds at the tables rose and
cheered them. The first acclamation
came when the aviators entered the
roof garden, decked with flower leis,
where the banquet was held.
The two youngsters in the flying
corps uniform ate their luncheon
under difficulties, with motion picture
and news cameras clicking in front
of their table.
Smile, please" directed the cam
eramen, whereupon Hegenberger
dropped his spoon and Maitland
blushed.
Maitland told the story of his
flight over again, but this time he
told it in four sentences, punotuated
with smiles.
Yesterday was the happiest day
of my life" he declared. IT had
planned and hoped and worked for
that day ever since I first joined the
service. When saw Kauai and the
Oahu I was the happiest boy in
America. I'm very happy to be here
and I'm pleased with the reception
we've received. Thank you"
Hegenberger's talk was Just as
brief He expressed their bewilder-
ment at finding that they were
really here" and continued "We're
gratified that we were chosen for
the mission. 1t is a dream come
true. I can't find words to express
my appreciation Of the reception you
give us.
During the three years I was
stationed at Hawaii I learned to love
the people here and it seems good
to be back again" Then he sat down.
"Bravo, kid" commented Maitland.
The crowd cheered as Major Gen
eral Edward NJ. Lewis introduced each
flyer, linking their names with those
of Lowell Smith, the late Captain
John Rodgers, Charles Lindbergh and
Clarence Chamberlin.
General Lewis declared Maitland
and Hegenberger to be men who
are worthy of the best traditions OF
the army and who add new luster
to the corps of which they are
members"
