GASOLINE LAMP
CAUSES FIRE

GLEN ARDEN, Md, Oct. 81
The explosion of a gasoline lamp
in a store owned by James, w.
Tulman here late Wednesday
night resulted in a fire that re-
duced that building to ashes.
The fire spread to the adjoining
home of Agnes Samuels before
fire companies from Mount Raj
nier, Bladensburg and College
Park could control it.
A bucket brigade made up Of
nearby neighbors was successful
in holding the flames in check
until the fire companies arrived.
The heat was so intense from
the store building that all the
window panes in the Samuels
home were cracked and the plas-
ter melted from the walls. Dam
age estimated at $1.500 was done
to the house, while Tulman es-
timated his loss at nearly $4,000.
Firemen, had to break through
the roof of the Samuels house
into the attic to reach the GEN.
ter of the blaze there. The
flames of the conflagration could
be seen by residents for miles.
The alarm was turned in from
Ardmore, Md, two miles from
the fire.

ton of rs laborers from Cleveland
to work on Ohio's new State Of
flee building, nearly 1000 Colum-
bus jobless men today started
riot on the site along the Scioto
River front here.
No one was reported injured, al
though the riot appeared for a
time as though it would reach
serious proportions.
Work on wrecking the old build
ings was stopped after the attack
of the jobless army, which carried
away all tools in the first on
Slaught.
Leaders of the demonstrators
declared the importation Of Cleve-

Million Dollar Issue Question
Win Be Decided by Voters
At Polls in Record Turnout

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct. 81
With the political campaign in
Anne Arundel county drawing
to q close, party leaders are busy
with plans for getting out The
vote at election Tuesday. The
polls will open at Z a. m. and
close at z p. m.
The campaign has been one
Of the quietest in the history OF
the county, with few of the old
time rallies and mass meetings.
Each party staged one big rally
in Annapolis and there have been
a few meetings in scattered Sec
tions of the several districts.
School Bonds Issue
But interest in the election is
nevertheless keen, being accentu-
ated by the fight in behalf Of
the million dollar school bond
bill, which will be up to the
electorate for approval or rejec-
tion. On this issue the largest
vote in the history Of the county
Is expected to be recorded.
With total registration of more
than $1,000, of which the Demo
Gratis have book majority, it ap-
pears that the candidates of that
party will win by comfortable mar
gins. That there is good deal of
dissatisfaction within the Demo
cratic ranks is not questioned, but
there is no indication of anything
approaching an upheaval such as
marked the presidential election
of two years ago.
The hardest fights will be waged
around the State SenatorShip,
Clerk of the Circuit Court and
Sheriff.
Melvin for Senate
Heading the Democratic local
ticket is Ridgely P. Melvin, can
didate for the State Senate. He
is opposed by Mayor Walter E..
Quenstedt, of Annapolis. It will be
recalled that four years ago Mr..
Melvin almost single-handedly
waged a vigorous but unsuccessful
primary fight against the "orgar1i-
cation" faction. His successful
opponent was George T. Cromwell.
Mr.. Melvin polled Ia the neighbor-
hood of 5000 votes.
Early in this campaign leaders
of the organization" selected
Mr.. Melvin as the logical man
for the senatorial toga and the
nomination apparently went to
him without solicitation. Mr.. Mel
vim accepted and announced that
he stands upon the same plat
form that he championed in his
campaign four years ago.

Prisoner Is Released
When He Promises
To Snore Quietly

HAGERSTOWN, oct. 81.
Residents of North Prospect
Street seemingly have no OBJ
lection to a man sleeping off
the effects Of liquor, but when
he snores so loud that it inter-
feres with their Slumber-well,
that's something else.
John Hobbs admitted par
taking of a few drinks and
later parking himself in the
rear of several homes in that
section for the purpose Of
sleeping it Off" He denied all
knowledge of snoring. Resi-
dents of that section said
"snores" were almost deafen-
ing. The arresting officer said
his snores would awaken the
dead.
Magistrate Duffey foun d
Hobbs guilty. but suspended
sentence on the promise that
"he go forth and snore more
quietly"

AGED SP|NSTER
SUCCUMBS

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Oct. 81.
After living nearly all of her adult
life in dilapidated building in
the hills at Oldtown, near Han
cock, Eliza Malone, 88, died yes
terday. Taken i'll about a week
ago, the aged woman was removed
to the Allegheny Hospital, Cum
berland, where she expired.
Nancy Malone, whose age is esti-
mated at 100, and who lived with
her sister, is her only survivor.
Nancy now is occupying a small
cottage in which the sisters were
housed some time ago through the
efforts of persons who rescued
them from their poverty.
The sisters were daughters of
Jesse Malone, a pioneer of the
Oldtown section and one OF the
prosperous boatmen during the
early days of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal. They were found in
October, 1927, living in primitive
style in two old Shacks in the hills
of Oldtown.
Eliza was taken to the hospital
and treated, but she refused to re.
main. She preferred life in the
remnant of what had been their
home. The sisters lived on what
they raised from a small garden
and eggs from small flock OF
chickens.
Enough money was raised and
lumber obtained to build them a
two-room home, which they occu-
pied since the winter Of 1921.

Hoosier Resisting Attempt
to Try Him on Bank
Robbery Charge.
BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
ANGOLA, Ind, Nov. 29.-Lester
Krill, So. formerly proprietor of
garage at Hamilton, is held in Jail
here pending the outcome of a sec
ond round in his fight to prevent
return to Michigan for trial on a
charge Of bank robbery.
The first round was lost in
Steuben circuit court here when
Judge Clyde c. Carlin refused
KILLS petition for writ of habeaS
corpus. KrilIs wife, who is in poor
health, collapsed as the judge gave
his decision.
Counsel for Krill Immediately
filed notice of an appeal to the
Indiana supreme court. Judge Car
lin ruled that an appeal bond
should be filed within twenty days
and the case perfected for trans
fer to the high court within 100
days.
1t is alleged that Krill robbed the
State Bank of Montgomery, Mich,
Nov. 3, escaping with $500. In
denying the writ of habeas corpus,
Judge Carlin pointed out that three
witnesses had identified Krill as the
bandit.
Testimony offered in behalf of
the alleged bandit was to the effect
that on the day of the robbery he
was not in Michigan, but at But
Ter and Hamilton. Krill was
formerly cashier of a bank at
Butler.
Hearing in the habeas corpus
proceedings consumed four days
and attracted one of @he largest
crowds in the history to the Steuben
county courtroom. IT
