MUSSEL FARMS
BIC SUCCESS

Efforts of the U. S. Bureau Of
Fisheries to develop muSsel shell
farms" in Fort Worth, Tex, for
the salvation of the $7,O00,00O
pearl industry of the United
States. is meeting with great sue
cess, according to Commissioner
Henry O'Malley, today.
A leading button manufacturer
supplied the foundation stock for
the farms" from a colony near
Columbus, Tex. The shells Of
these muSSels contain excellent
material for buttons.
The reason for developing mus
sci farms is that changing con-
ditionS have destroyed the natural
beds of musSelS. Most of these
beds were on the Mississippi River
and it tributaries. The destruc-
ton was brought about mostly
by municipal and industrial pollu-
ton combined with heavy erosion
silt deposits.

Smoking Out Snake
Starts Tree Blaze

One way to get black snake
out of tree is to set it afire.
But it is another thing to
put out the fire in the tree
when the fire has cremated Mr..
Snake.
That's what neighbors Of Earl
Robey, near Fairland, found out
much to their diSmay and con-
sequently the Silver Spring Vol
unteer Fire Department was
called to extinguiSh the blaze.
Paper had been used to start
a fire in the hollow tree.

ATTORNEY RAPS
STATE POLICE

BALTIMORE, Md, June /.
State police have a "black list
of magistrates and justices of the
peace, before whom they will not
bring traffic offenders, according
to Edward D. E. Rollins, Cecil
county States attorney.
Addressing the first annual
meeting of the States Attorneys
Association here, Rollins charged
that the office Of the commits
sioner of motor vehicles discrimi-
mates against certain judicial
officers and orders State police
to do the same.
D. Marshal Schroeder, deputy
commissioner of motor vehicles,
admitted the truth Of Rollins
charges, despite the State law
which requires State police to
take offenders before the first
magistrate or justice available.
Schroeder explained that the
law requires magistrates to make
returns of fines within five days.

TANGLED FUNDS
! CHARGED BY
COUNTY
Montgomery Commissioners
Are Raped for 'SIovenIy'
Way of Conducting Affairs

Berry E. Clark, deposed
clerk to the Montgomery
county commissioners, who is
on trial at Rockville fro en-
bezzlement of. county funds,
did not consider he was doing
wrong. according to F. Bar
nard Welsh, of his counsel,
when he kept, in addition to
the official bank account
maintained by the county
treasurer, "secret" account
in his own name as Berry
Z. Clark, clerk" "
Clark, who is being tried on
ar indictment alleging he appro-
priated $426 of county money,
always met county obligations,
Welsh declared to the jury. and
accused the county commissioners
of prosecuting Clark. after con-
doning his service during a
regime the attorney character
ized as one of the most loosely
managed, most slovenly bodies
that any county ever had"
ReappOinted Him
He said the county allowed Mr..
Clark to keep the books in his
own manner and ratified his
methods by reappointing him.
States Attorney Stedman Pres
colt told the jury that he ex-
pected to prove Clark placed
money collected by the sheriff as
civil fees and from the building
inspectors for permits and gen.
eral licensing fees into the "se,
cret" account. the county charges,
instead of turning them over to
the county treasurer for deposit.
Funds in this "secret" bank bal
ance, the county further declares,
were checked out by Clark and
redeposited to his personal ac-
count, the money going to the
payment of personal bills.
Not "Officiar' He Says
Roger j. Whiteford, counsel to
the commissioners, placed on the
stand by Mr.. Prescott, said that
he questioned Clark about funds
which did not appear on his
books and forced him to call
George Hunter, president of the
Montgomery County N ton a
Bank, and authorize an audit of
the secret" account which Clark
told him he did not report to the
auditors since he did not consider
it an official one. He said this
action prompted Clark to say:
"ThiS means the ruinatiOn of
the Clark family"
Whiteford replied, he said, that
It would not be the ruination of
the family but of Clark, if he
had taken any county money.
