Alleges Part OF DR.. Perry's Pay
Illegally Collected.

William Van Ness. of Chevy Chase. this
county. filed suit in the circuit court here
on Thursday of last week against DR.. Ben
jamin C. Perry. president of the board of
county commissioners. to compel him to
return to the county treasury portion Of
his salary to which Van Ness alleged he
is not legally entitled.
An injunction also is sought by Van
Ness to restrain Forest Walker. county
treasurer. from paying DR.. Perry any ad-
ditional salary until the case is settled.
The petition sets forth that Dr.. Perry is
entitled to $2.4OO year under the act of
1927 of the Legislature creating the sub
urban district of this county and $500
additional year If the commissioner de-
voted full time to his duties. DR.. Perry.
however. Van Ness alleges. has been
drawing the additional $500 compen.
sation since his appointment. but is not
devotine full time to his duties as com.
missioner.
Van Ness asks the court to determine
DR.. PeFry's indebtedness to the county and
that a money judgment be returned in
favor Of the county treasurer. or as an
alternative that the commissioner be di-
rected to refund the amount he has been
paid in violation of the suburban district
act.
Van Ness is represented by Attorney:
Edward Peter. John E. Oxley and Vivian
Simpson.

Four Girls Die or Gas.

Frederick. Nd. March 27.-Death stalked
in the wake of family quarrel and claimed
the lives of four sisters ranging in age from
10 months to years here today. They
were asphyxiated while playing with what
they believed to lie a novel toy. gas
kitchen range.
The dead. all daughters of Lester and
Mrs. La Rue Shields. Of Boyds, Montgomery
county, are Mary Lucille. years old:
Myrtle Estelle, 5 years old Elsie Yvonne,
8 years old, and Helen, IS months old.
Mrs. Shields. who Is IS years old. and
her husband quarreled yesterday morning;
so the wife took their children and fed to
her sister, Mrs. Joseph H. Bussard. at Fred
erick, in search of sympathy. Mr.. Shields
sought refuge for his ruffied feelings on his
farm.
Justice of the Peace Sherman P. Bowers.
as acting coroner. after conference with
Sheriff William C. Roderick. announced that
he was convinced the deaths had been
accidental and that no inquest was neces-
sary. He said that while he did not link
the husband with the tragedy. he was
seeking the man to question him briefly.
following the woman's statement that
Shields had hit her with clubs and stones
in chase at BOyds.
When Mrs. Shields and the girls reached
here at 10 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Bus
sard. unaware of the impromptu visit. was
attending church conference in town.
As is the custom. however. she left her
front door unlocked. so Mrs. Shields and
her children walked in and made them
selves at home.
Wishing to learn the whereabouts Of
her sister. Mrs. Shields locked the door and
left the girls shortly afterward to call on
a neighbor. Mrs. Agnes Grimes. for about
20 minutes. When she returned the Bus
sard residence was filled with gas. and the
children lay stretched lifeless on the kitchen
floor.
Mrs. Shields explained that she locked
the door of the room occupied by the chill
dren to prevent her husband from entering
and taking them away, in case he should
have followed them.
Frantically. the mother carried their limp
bodies to the back porch and fresh air. while
she screamed for help. The Frederick Fire
Company and four physicians responded
to the alarm broadcast by neighb0rs, but
their efforts were futile. A pulmOtOr was
brought into play. but finally the doctors
announced resuscitation work was useless.
Mrs. Shields collapsed as her husband
and sister were notified of the tragedy.
Investigation showed that all the gas
jets on the kitchen stove had been turned
on by the children at play. Mrs. Bussard
explained later that the children. unfa-
miliar with the danger because of their
rearing on farm. had never before been
permitted to touch the stove.

psrley plauned By School Group


DR.. George L. Edmonds. chairman. Mrs.
Thomas Perry and Mrs. Julian Waters. of
the County Board Of Education. and Edwin
W. Broome, County Superintendent Of
Schools. composing a committee recently
named by the educational board to confer
with the trustees of the Rockville Academy
regarding the academy property in connec-
ton with improved public school facilities
for Rockville, have taken steps to discuss
the matter with the academy trustees. and
letter has been addressed to each of the
trustees. suggesting an early conference to
talk over the matter.
The Rockville Academy ceased to func-
ton as an educational institution a number
Of years ago. and for the past few years
the building has been used for the first
and second public school grades through
the courtesy of the academy trustees. Not
only are the facilities there regarded as
greatly inadequate. but the conditions at
the Rockville High School are considered
equally unsatisfactory. so far as the other
elementary grades are concerned. and vari-
Gus organizations Of the community and
citizens generally have been urging the
erection of modern building to house the
first six grades Of the public school and
proposed kindergarten either on the acad-
envy lot or some other site.
The conference that the committee is
arranging is expected to clear the atmos-
phere somewhat and possibly permit of a
definite program being decided upon.
