found guilty by a jury in the Somer-
set county, Pa, court on a charge of
false pretense and fraudulent CONVEX

Forman, who was solicitor for the
Keystone Marble Works of Meyers

commission on about $4,000 worth of
monumental work, which he claimed
to have secured orders for, but after
Lintz and Cook, the proprietors, did
the work they discovered that the
orders for it were bogus, the alleged
customers denying that they gave
Forman any contracts to have exc
cuted.

JUDCED.L.SLOAN DELIVERS
CHARGE TO GRAND JURY
Full Text of Jurist's Address to
Body When Sworn in for Ser
vice Monday Morning.

The June Term of the Garrett Coun-
ty Circuit Court convened Monday
morning at ten o'clock with Chief
Judge D. Lindley Sloan presiding.
Mr.. Joseph E. Harmed, foreman, and
his fellow-members of the Grand
Jury were sworn in by Clerk E. q.
Tower, after which Judge Sloan deliv-
cred his charge, the full text of which
appears below:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, some
of you 1 know are familiar with the
duties of grand jurors, but though
YOU may be familiar with these re-
uuirements it is my duty, at the open
ing of each term of the court to for
mally charge the grand jury with
respect to the performance of their
duties.
In the administration of the law, in
the preservation of the peace and the
promotion of the good OF society
generally there is no more important
function than that performed by the
grand jury. 1t is your duty as grand
jurors to investigate offenses against
the peace and good order of society
which may have arisen since the last
grand jury, although you are not con-
fined in point of time to offenses since
that date but may pursue investiga-
tions if necessary back of that time.
1t is important, of course, to those
against whom charges may be
brought that they be fairly and i'm
partially Investigated that justice
may be done offenders, and it is due
to society generally that they be fully
Investigated in order that the peace
and good order of the state may be
preserved.
On the strict enforcement of the
criminal or penal laws of the state
society depends for its safety. In this
Gay the person and property of the
law-abiding citizen is best protected
and to have these powers put in the
hands of grandjuries who are gath
cred from all over the county is GER
tainly tremendous instrument for
good or evil and the peace of society
and of the community is best pre-
served by strict compliance with the
duties imposed upon you which are
fully covered in the oath administered
to your foreman at length and to
which each of you has subscribed. The
performance of the things required OF
you by that oath is all that society
has right to demand and it is all
that the one against whom charges
may be brought has a right to expect.

MAYOR W. F. BROENING Is
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
Baltimore Mayor Announces His
Candidacy for the Republican
Nomination In September

Mayor William F. Broening, of
Baltimore, last night announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor of Maryland.
The announcement of the Balti-
more executive has been expected for
some time in political circles, and is
the first to come from Republican
ranks, though several other party
leaders with powerful support have
been mentioned as possible candidates.
Two Candidates in Field
Mr.. Broening's action brings two
candidates for the governorship into
the open, one from each party, Gov
ernor Richie having announced his
candidacy for a fourth term several
weeks ago.
The Mayors announcement was
made in a statement issued from his
office at the city hall, with Edward E.
largest, Jr., chairman of the Republi-
can city committee and his chief back
er present.
Whether or not Mr.. Broening will
gain the party nomination without
struggle in the state convention, early
in September, is still matter of
much conjecture among party leaders
who expect other entrants in the race
for Republican nomination. One of
these expected entrants is former
state Senator David A. Robb, of Cum
berland, whose name has continually
been brought to the fore as a candi-
date.
Alexander Armstrong, of Hagers-
town, former attorney general and
candidate for governor has received
the endorsement of the Washington
county State Central Committee, but
has made no formal announcement of
his candidacy.
Leaders Withhold Comment
Broening's statement did not elicit
any great disturbance among the so
called party leaders in the state.
Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
titular head of the party in Maryland,
refused to comment, while Galen l..
TAFT, collector of internal revenue and
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee issued five-line
statement in which he said he would
take no stand, feeling it the chair
mans part mot to select but to elect
the Republican candidate for COVER
nor"
William P. Jackson, of Salisbury,
Republican national committeeman
for Maryland, also refused to make
statement. He was member of the
group to which Broening belonged
which won factional struggle pre-
ceding the last presidential election.
In Public Life Thirty Years
Mr.. Broening has been in public
life for more than 80 years. He, has
twice been elected mayor, twice states
attorney for Baltimore and served in
both the legislature and city council.
He was a candidate for attorney
general at the last state election, and
though defeated by Thomas H. Robin
son, the democratic candidate, ran far
ahead of the rest of the ticket.
In his statement of announcement,
Mayor Broening said he had received
messages from all parts of the state
urging his candidacy. No mention
was made in his announcement of the
offices on the ticket which the Re-
publicans must put in the field, includ-
ing that of the attorney general, clerk
of the court of appeals and state
comptroller. The mayor said he would
support the party platform which will
be adopted at the state convention.

The number of farms enumerated
in Garrett county was 1850 as COM
pared with 1893 enumerated in 1920.
These figures showed a loss of 1873
farms, due in large measure, it was
explained, to the Youghiogheny

The number of farms also decreased
in Allegany county, but gained in
Washington county.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
 TO MEET BOSTON TEAM
Canadian Hockey Team Faces Task of Beating Bruins On Their
 Home Floor Tonight

New York, Dec. 2 L) - Toronto's Maple Leafs, leader of the National Hockey Leagues Canadian division and the smallest team in numbers in the circuit, tackle the hard as signment of tonight's three game schedule. The Leafs face the diff cult job of beating the Boston Bruins on their home ice.
 Boston has not made as quick start this season as it did last year, but the Bruins still have the same old strength which appears at it's best when they play at home. The Bruins also have the opportunity of jumping from fourth place in their division to second as their rivals, the Detroit Falcons and New York Ran gers arc idle.
 All three of tonight's games bring the teams concerned together for the first time this season. The undefeat ed Chicago Black Hawks play in Montreal against the Maroons, who started the year by losing four games but have won their last two. Les Canadiens of Montreal meet the last place Philadelphia Quakers with every prospect of breaking their cur- rent tie with the New York Amerl- cans for third place in the Canadian division.

FOUR GAMES LEFT ON
 EAST GRID SCHEDULE
Foremost Among the Quartet Is the Penn Navy Game Slated 1t
 Philadelphia

New York, Dec. , Gp) - Only four games are on the eastern foot ball schedule this week. but they arc four fitting preliminaries to the grand finale of the year in the Army Navy clash q week later.
 Foremost among the quartet is the Penn Navy game at Philadel- phia. which will give the midship- men final test of strength before the service clash at Yankee Stadium, New York. Penn-Navy have been meeting on the grldiron since 1858. Penn has won nine games, Navy three and two have been tied. Their last two games have been close. and this year they again are rated about even, although both squads are somewhat battered from the long season.
 Colgate, leader of the east in SCOT ing and undefeated by sectional ri- val, plays New York Universitys eleven. which still is shy on expert snce after fair season. The game is one of the big post-season clashes arranged TOT the peHeIIt ol tue bH- Carnegie Tech and Wash ington and Jefferson, rivals since l e06, meet at Pittsburgh in a. game which was postponed last Saturday because Of bad weather and ground conditions.

 New Britain took the lead right off the hop in the first quarter hold ing New Haven to a lone point Whiio ehalking up seven points for itself.

 Inc third quarter saw the cluo team maIing 1t a runaway.

FOOTBALL GOES
 SOUTH AND WEST
N0tre Dame-Calii0rnia Is Out
 standing Feature Of Week

New York. Dec. ? NEP) - With winter slowly setting ever eastern and mid-western gridrons. the loG0 football season retreats to southern and far western fields for it's last stand on Saturday.
 Only four eastern teams-Colgatc and N. Y. L., and Navy and Penn will have the hardy temerity to ven turc out Saturday to give the faith full customers their final treat No game Of any importance is scheduled for the middle west.
 Nine games arc booked for the south. with Georgia vs. Georgia Tech Tennessee vs. Florida. Mary land vs. Western Maryland, Duke vs. North Carolina and Rice vs. Iowa State being outstanding.
 On the west coast, Notre Dames engagement with Southern Califor- mia is the big moment and rightly so, For if there ever was a natural" the Irish Trojan tilt is just that. The schedule makers could not have chosen a clash better fitted to bring q spectacular season to q spectacular close.
 If Rockne's Irish horde can stem the Trojan flood the mythical na- tional title will be theirs. Should Southern California defeat Notrc Dame the championship situation would be in somewhat Of q muddle, for Alabama and Washington State, undefeated and united, would prob ably demand recognition.
 The Colgate-N. Y. L. game de- serves second billing on Saturdays program. And not only because the entire proceeds of the game will be donated to the unemploymen relief fund. Colgate, despite an early sea son defeat, ranks with the strongest eastern eleyens, and possesses in Fullback Macaluso the nations high est scorer. It will be interesting 10 watch how Mir. Macaluso f ares against the stolid forward wall that Chick Meehan has developed at x. Y. |.
 The Penn-Nayy tilt is likely to prove a dreary affair. The Quakers. still groggy from the pasting handed them by Notre Dame, have nothing much to offer and Navy has all but admitted that the game is just an- other practice session for the Army game on December 13.
 The meeting between those old rivals Georgia and Georgia Tech is the southern standout.
