WYE TRACK ISSUE
ACTION IS TAKEN
B. & O. Ready to Go $3.50
on Bridge at HyattS-
vile.
snecial nisnatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
EVANSVILLE, Md, September Is.
Whenever the State is ready to meet
it halfway in the cost of the work the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad is ready TO
extend the bridge now under construc-
ton over the main line here over the
wye" track just south of the grade
crossing. This was the statement OF
railroad officials who appeared before
special meeting OF the Chamoer OF
Commerce here.
The officials asked the chamber to
recommend to the mayor and city coun-
Gil the granting of permit to relocate
the wye" track ITO feet farther south
on the WashingtonBaltim boule-
ward. The chamber referred the matter
to its utilities committee for study ana
report at the next regular meeting
Monday, September %. Nicholas Orem
is chairman of this committee and RUS
sell Hardy vice chairman.
It was stated by the Baltimore & Ohio
officials that relocation of the wye"
track would enable it to run through
freight trains across it to and from the
main line and would eliminate the
switching in the city limits that now is
necessary. The work will cost $l6O,OOO
and will be completed in three months
after it is started. Crossing gates and
watchmen would be placed at the new
crossing. 1t was said by the railroad
officials that the. system enabling it to
run through freight over the Wye"
track to the main line would be put in
and regardless of the councils action,
If permission was not forthcoming from
the city for relocation of the track, the
through traffic would be routed over
the present track. Because OF the
sharper curves the trains would not
be able to run as fast over the present
track as over the proposed new track
where the curve would be less danger
Gus, it was pointed out.
Considerable opposition 70 the reloca-
ton of the track was voiced by citizens,
who claimed that the new crossing
would not only delay traffic, but would
| be dangerous because of its proximity
| to the bridge now being built over the
tracks to eliminate the grade crossing
on the main line. Railroad officials did
not believe that either the traffic delay
or danger would be as bad as feared.

PUPILS TO GET BUS
SERVICE TO SCHOOL
Prince Georges County Board
Makes Appropriation for
transportation.
Rv A STAFF Correspondent.

By STAFF Correspondent
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Septem-
Der 13.-Settlement of several ques-
lions regarding transportation and
personnel matters incident to the open
ing of schools has been made by the
Prince Georges County Board of Educa-
ton, Nicholas Orem, superintendent OF
schools and secretary to the board, an
nounced today.
An appropriation of $500 for the
transportation of pupils in the lower
end of the county to the Accokeek
School has been made by the commits
sioners, the board to furnish 5000 for
the same purpose.
Asked by Citizens.
This action was taken following the
request of a number of citizens from
organs Point, whose children last year
attended the Marshall Hall School, in
Charles County, which has been closed.
G.. A. Smith was given the contract to
transport the pupils.
T. S. Gwynn was awarded the con-
tract to transport pupils to the Sur
rattsville School, completing the bus
routes to be cared for this year. The
contract of Harry c.. Mercer was
ordered amended SO that he would ar
rive at the Landover School at $3.50 am.
Requests for extensions of the Friend
ly-Oxon Hill and the PiScataWay-
BrandyWine bus line were denied by the
board as not being in accordance with
contract John Davidson, who inquired
as to why he had not been given the
contract for transportation of pupils
to the Bowie School again this year,
was told no formal bid had been re-
ceived from him.
James Boss of Laurel was awarded
the tuition scholarship to st. Johns
College, subject to the approval of the
State Senator. The designations of o, H.
yesterday, as trustee of the Brentwood
School, and of Mrs. Mary C. H. Stein,
as trustee for the Berwyn Heights
School, were accepted.
Land Price Held Too High.
Informed by T. Howard Duckett, at
torney for Mrs. Mary E. Riley, that she
would sell acres of the portion of
the Riley tract known as site No. 2, for
$1,000 an acre, to be used for the new
Bradbury Heights School, the board de-
cided this was too much for land as
sessed at 5000 an acre, according to
Mr.. Orem. The offer stated that the
owner would give outlets to the highway
from the site.
In order to avoid the delay incident
to condemnation proceedings, however,
the board has authorized an offer of
$3.50 an acre for this land.
A request has been made by the trus-
tees of Halls School for the reopening
of that building, as there would be IL
pupils in attendance. The board has
refused the request, however, as this
is less than the legal requirement.
The Halls School was closed this year
The board has voted to pay a Sum-
mer school fee of S25 to all teachers
who attended the full six weeks period
at the 1929 Summer schools. Claiming
that no appropriation was made for
payment of interest, the School Board
refused a request of the mayor and
council of Mount Rainier that a pay
ment of $4608 be made for interest on
the paving costs in the rear of the
Brentwood School.

PROTECTING A MURDERER
There were big doings at Eufaula, Ala.

There were big dongs at Eufaula Ala. the other
day
special train rolled in from Montgomery One
hundred and fifty National Guardsmen fully armed
and equipped, got off and formed in military ranks
joined by so who had been drawn up on the plat
form to meet them.
Out of the train into the midst of this armed dis
play got several deputy sheriffs with prisoner Sur
rounded by the soldiers, the prisoner escorted up
the street to the court house. and when he entered the
court room to go trial all Of the soldiers were in
the court roo alert to that nothing of the way
happened
After the trial the 200 soldiers escorted the pris-
oner back to the special train again. while hundreds
of people lined the streets to watch.
Now all of that sounds rather peculiar especially
when 1t is noticed that the prisoner not some ia
nous highwayman or dreaded gangster but Just
friendless negro murderer Yet that surprising dis
play of force stands greatly the credit of Alabama
and Gov Bibb Graves, who ordered it. If it had not
been for the soldiers the prisoner very possibly would
have been lynched By using an armed guard out of
all proportion to the ordinary murder case Alabama
saved herself from that disgrace.
The negro had committed murder that was un-
usually atrocious. His guilt was quite evident; and
since he is under sentence of DEATH it might be
asked why matters greatly whether he be hanged by
mob by the state. Yet Gov Graves, ordering out
the troops guarantee this murderer fair trial. did
exactly the right thing-and doubt has the support
of his state in his action.
The orderly processes of law are always prefer
able to mob rule They much preferable that no
cost is too great to insure them. Alabama did good
job when turned out 200 soldiers to protest one COL
ored murderer.

to think:

Mrs. Longcars had NOT gone TO the

after leaving Mr.. Twistytail, Uncle
Wiggily thought Of his wife.
"Ice cream will make her cool so

Perhaps it was because, in the

that Mr.. Longears thought of ice
cream. And Mr.. Twistytail had
grunted as the lights went up:
1T ought 10 be cheap TO make

"Why so?" asked Uncle Wig

So, laughing to himself the bun

A FINE JOB

when you consider the way in which smart law
yers usually contrve to drag criminal case out for
months and years, you must admit that Kansas City
deserves bit of credit for the way has punished the
murderers of Patrolman Happy" Smith
Perhaps you remember that murder. 1t took
place during hodup that marked the Republican Ma
tional Convention week, just about year ago. Five
gangsters held up bank and killed Smith when ht
tried to interfere.
Three of these bandits are now in the condemned
cells, awaiting hanging. The other day fourth was
sent to the penitentary to life term. Only
man remains at large.
Kansas City has done good job of avenging
Smiths murderers
