COUNTY SHERIFF
/. SWINGS HARD
" THE WHIP
Salisbury Jail Is Scene Of
Old Chastisement; Victim
Also Fined as Drunken Driver

SALISBURY. Md, Sept. 10
With his hands tied to bars OF
the door at S:45 this morning
Clarence Cell. 40-year-old carpen
ter, was given 40 lusty lashes
from heavy whip at the hands
of Sheriff Phillips, as the, States
punishment for wife-beating.
The sentence was rendered by
Judge Joseph L. Bailey, after Cell
had pleaded guilty to the charge,
The whipping was authorized
for wife-beaters by an old, but
seld0m-invOked Maryland State
law, fixing this penalty for those
who maltreat their wives.
1t was the first such sentence
to be carried out in Wicomico
County in the memory of Oldest
citizens and one of few noted in
the State in many years.
The whipping was done inside
the Jail, while a curious crowd
remained outside. How the pris-
oner endured the stinging lash
was not revealed by the sheriff.
In Baltimore last spring, a
wife-beater was given ten laShes,
but hitherto the whipping post
had not been used for many years.
Cell beat his wife so badly on
July 16 she was confined to her
bed two weeks and for a time it
was feared she would not live.
Cell was Jailed for a time and
later released on bond.
Besides the 40 laSheS for mis-
treating his wife, Cell was fined
500 for driving an automobile
while drunk.

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. TO-
When Hubert Rigdon, 81, charged
jointly with Morris Weaver, 81, and
Orville Biddle, %, with alleged auto
mobile banditry, turned states evil
dence, Weaver, being tried sepa-
rately was compelled to alter his
line of defense.
The trio is charged with COM
hitting two holdups on the same
night. Frank Vanderhoof was
robbed of SO and his automobile.
Dale Lauderbaugh resisted when
taken for ride, firing a shot from
a revolver concealed in a glove The
bullet struck Weaver in the abdo-
men and almost resulted fatally.
Weaver first denied participating
in either robbery, insisting he was
shot when he resisted bandits who
attempted to rob him, but Rigdon
took the stand as witness for the
state and told the story duplicating
himself and the other two defend
ants. Weaver than admitted he was
shot by Lauderbaugh, but said the
circumstances were different from
what the state contends.
Lauderbaugh testified that Weav-
er was armed, while Weaver says
he had no gun. Weaver's testimony
was corroborated by Rigdon, who
said he was the only member of the
bandit party who was armed when
they tried to rob Lauderbuagh. a
jury was impaneled to hear evil
dence.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. TO-
Bowyer Campbell, who forsook the
ministry of the Protestant Episcopal
church to become a Catholic and is
a history professor at the University
of Notre Dame, declares the stand
taken in favor of birth control by
the Protestant Episcopal church was
"the last nail in the coffin" for his
connection with that denomination.
Birth control was approved at the
Lambeth conference.
There is a growing apprehen-
sion" Campbell declares" among
many Episcopalians over the inroads
of modernism in the Episcopal
church. Eclecticism, or the ten
dency to accept some doctrines and
cast away theirs, is causing be-
wilderment among those who cling
to Christ and believe that what
Christ commands, not what man
wishes, must be the form of re-
hgious beliefs. Modernists are doing
the things they like, believing that
appeal to them and casting away
the things they do not like to do or
believe.
"They fail to see the converse of
their actions. If they wish to act
in such a way, if they believe it well
and proper for them to do so, they
should remember that men of other
creeds will do the same thing and
make of religion a matter of in
dividual preference ana not loyalty
to the teachings of Christ"

BEEKEEPERS WARNED
OF HONEY BOUND HIVES
Chief Apiary Inspector Points to
Danger With Winter Near.

Beekeepers are urged to examine
colonies to determine if hives are
honey bound, and take immediate
step to provide room for young bees
to be raised this winter, by ]. E.
Starkey, chief inspector of apiaries,
division of entomology, state con-
servation department.
This unusual condition exists
among. many colonies in the clover
belt, according to Starkey, particu-
larly in the central and eastern
parts of the state. Many hives are
so full of honey that the queens
have been crowded out Of laying
room in the brood nest and colonies
therefore may face the winter
minus a proper nest, and with only
old bees which quickly die in cold
weather.
Such condition, says the in
spector, is quite likely to result in
a heavy winter mortality of colonies
unless weather conditions are I'M
usually favorable for very late brood
rearing and food consumption.
According to the inspector, the
remedy for the honey bound hives
is to take out one or two frames
Of honey, and at once insert in their
stead frames of empty drawn
combs. This will provide room for
the queen to lay, and for the young
bees produced before winter begins,
