STILL OVER At CRUMPTON
LARGEST YET RAIDED WAS
OF 500 GALLON CAPACITY
Also One at Hartly Not in Oper-
alton But a Quantity of Liquor
Was Taken by the Agents

G. A. Hill, deputy prohibition
administrator for Delaware and
the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
announced Thursday that late
Wednesday four prohibition agents
working under his orders had raid
ed a still in the woods near
Crumpton, Kent county, Nd, which
proved to be the biggest single
still which has ever been found in
operation in this district since he
has ben deputy administrator Mr.
Hill said that the still was of 500
gallons capacity and was so large
that six men could easily have
stood up inside of it, had they
been able to enter it. The four
agents making the raid, had TO
work for three hours in destroying
the still, watts and accessory ap-
paratus, he said. A man named
Boulden was found at the still
while it was in operation. The
still is larger than the 400 gallons
still seized several months ago in
raid at Iron Hill, near Newark,
which previous to this time held
the record for size, Mr.. Hill said.
In addition to the still, 1000 gal
Ions of mash and so gallons Of
liquor were seized. Boulden was
believed to be a mere agent for
the owner and not believed to be
the owner. He was arraigned
before U. S. Commissioner ]. De
Wiss Carter, at Denton, Md, and

of Baltimore

Six Years For $500

few days ago the Mississippi house Of repre-
sentatives voted appropriation of $500 to Moses
Walker, negro who had been pardoned after serving
six years in the penitentiary He had been convicted
on charges OF shooting into white mans home and
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
On his death-bed the white man confessed that
he had framed" the negro because of grudge, had
shot the hole in his house to substantiate the
false charge and that the negro was entirely inno-
cent of the crime.
1t is difficult to understand how anyone could
deliberately swear away the liberty of an innocent
person merely through spite, but in many cases not
only liberty but life itself has been so sworn away
That in this the real criminals conscience troub-
ed him is evident. At least it began to trouble him
when death stared him in the face.
The $500 voted by the state is better than moth
ing, but it is poor recompense for six year of unjust
imprisonment Persons wrongfully imprisoned when
such wrongful Imprisonment can be concusively pro-
ved should be entitled to substantial damages by law
and the seeret penalties should be imposed on those
who are responsible for wilfully bringing about the
conviction Of innocent citizens white or black

Saving The Babies
-O-O-O-

In the long list of accomplishments to the credit
of modern medical science perhaps has greater
significance than the attained in the reduc-
ton of childhood Deaths
Queen Anne of England, borne in 1864 bore II
children, only one of whom lived more than year,
and he died at the age Of H. Now large families of
children often mature without death.
Through medical education and the treatment of
early defects the childs chance of reaching maturity
has been greatly increased especially during the last
half century. The heightened average span Of human
life which prevails is largely due to reduction of
mortality among infants
In addition to regularly employed physicians and
by public health units thousands of volunteer
workers cooperating in the noble task Of saving
babies lives
For their effective efforts in this and other drec-
tions looking to the preservation of human life the
medical profession and those cooperating entitled
to the highest praise

ty, and six in Maricopa county.
Her entrance into the campaign
for state auditor was deliberate, not
accidental or due to any inSistent
demand on the part of her friends,
she said.
Long experience in duties of the
home, first as girl in country
home in Missouri and more recent
'ly as the wife of a business man,
Mrs. Cox added to her qualifica-
tionS by clerical work in Missouri
postoffice, and later as assistant
postmaster.

late DR.. G. T. Northcutt, who for
many years was widely known as
a railroad physician and surgeon
in southwestern Missouri.
She has been studying law dur
ing the past year, and expects to
take the state bar examination at
an early date.
In making her announcement for
state auditor, Mrs. Cox said:
II have spent much work and
time in my efforts to qualify my
self for the office I now seek. I
first qualified myself as a teacher
in Missouri, and now hold a teach
er'S certificate from the State Tea
chers' College at Springfield, Mo.
But business life made a greater
appeal to me, and I obtained posi-
tions in business offices.
after deciding to seek the office
of state auditor, I entered the in
Surance business so that I could
follow a line of work that would
give me an opportunity to meet
citizens throughout the state.
"As a student of finance, book
keeping and auditing and by ex-
perience, believe I am qualified
to perform the duties of state audi
tor to the entire satisfaction of all
public officials and private citizens.
I take this opportunity to express
in advance my appreciation of all
support that may be given me in
my campaign"
Mrs. Cox has been a lifelong

CAPPER REQUESTS
COMMENT ON BILLS
Writes Patrick for Suggestions
on Utilities Legislation
Now Pending.

The Public Utilities Commission was
requested last night by Chairman Cap
per Of the Senate District Committee
to advise the committee whether 1t has
any suggestions to make regarding the
several bills pending in the Senate af-
fecting local utilities. The letter to
Gen Mason M. Patrick, chairman of
the Utilities Commission, followed one
sent earlier in the day to the District
Commissioners, asking for suggestions
on the general legislative program.
The sending of these letters was in
line with the Senator's belief that in
the short session attention should be
concentrated on a limited program for
the District.
Senator Capper said the Senate Com
mittee probably will wish to take early
action on the bill already passed by
the House to give school children re-
duced rate of carfare, and asked for
suggestions that might improve the adj
ministrative features of the bill.
Other utility bills pending in the Sem
ate are the street railway merger, mer-
ger of the gas light companies and the
bill TO limit the power of local courts
in reviewing decisions Of the Utilities
Commission. "
