POTATO EXPERIMENT PLOT
CONSIDERED SUCCESSFUL
Crop Is Harvested Last Week
by U. S. Department Heads

Considering the results obtained in
breeding different varieties of pota-
toes as highly successful, state and
national potato experts spent last
Thursday and Friday near Oakland in
harvesting the experimentation plot
set out earlier in the season.
That these experts would continue
the work in Garrett county next year
was announced by John H. Carter,
county agent, and it was felt by Off
Gals that the work might become
permanent. The closest field for ex-
pertinent work in potatoes, other than
this years plot on the farm of H. L..
Porter, is in Maine, it was stated, and
much money could be saved by the U.
S. Department of agriculture If a
permanent field were located here.
William Stewart, head of potato
breeding, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, F. J. Stephenson, also of the
U. S. Department; and DR.. J. H.
Beaumont, head of the Maryland
horticulture department, were all
present last week to harvest the crop
and complete their records. From
the 1874 varieties planted several were
discarded as being of undesirable
type. Others will be tested and re-
planted next year.
1t is the object of the department
to mix certain varieties of potatoes
in order to obtain disease-resisting
potato that is marketable and has
other favorable qualities.

Not James Collins of Oakland

The James Collins mentioned two
weeks ago in the Court proceedings,
was not James Collins, of Oakland.

facture of liquor was arrested as
Raymond Phillips, of near Union
town, Pa, but he later told authori-
ties his real name was James Collins.
He was found guilty along with John
Gusick and Everett F. Hershman, and
was fined 500 and costs.

MAN Is HELD FOLLOWING
WEDDING HERE SATURDAY
Is In MOrgantOwn Jail Pending
InvestigatiOn-May Be Held
on Charge of Bigamy
GIRL HAS DISAPPEARED

A serious charge involving William
King Richards, "a, of Akron, Ohio,
who told officers at Morgantown, w.
Va, Sunday night that he was
George B. Smith," may be brought
when full knowledge of Richards
alleged escapade with Helen Louise
Long, 10, a student of Morgantown,
is in the possession of the proper
authorities.
Richards is charged with failing to
pay a board bill in Morgantown, al
though the offense will be secondary,
officers said, when all is known about
Richards trip to Oakland Saturday
when he and the girl were married.
Richards and the girl came to Oak
land late Friday night for the pur-
pose of getting married, but were I'M
able to secure the license until Satur-
day morning when the ceremony was
performed by local minister. Rich
ards stated on the marriage record
that he was "a years of age and a
student. The girl gave her age as
10, and stated she was also student.
Investigate Action
Following the marriage the couple
were taken to Morgantown by Robert
T. Hoffman and others who were en-
route to a football game there.
Richards was taken into custody
after Prosecuting Attorney Shuman
had been asked to investigate his
"strange" actions in Grand street
home where he was known. Attempts
to question him at the city Jail met
with little success, the man continu-
ally rubbing his head and eyes and
asking for "15 more minutes" to give
his answers. The Smith name was
believed to be fictitious but authori-
lies at Morgantown did not learn un-
til Monday evening that the prisoner
was William Richards, resident Of
Akron, and already married when he
came to Oakland with the Long girl.
She had not returned home Sunday
night, causing her mother great
alarm. Richards did not seem to know
where the girl had gone after the
marriage had been performed, but it
was learned Monday that she was in
Philadelphia. She had left note in
her home Friday saying she was go
ing there.
If the facts of Richards previous
marriage are confirmed, he faces a
bigamy charge in Garrett county.
The girls mother was quoted as say
ing she would seek immediate annul-
ment of the Saturday marriage.
Richards is still being held at Nor
yantown on a technical "investiga-
ton" charge. His mind is gradually
clearing, it was said.
States Attorney w. W. Dawson, of
Oakland, has not been notified of any
of the particulars, but if a bigamy
charge is brought, it will have to be
brought in this county, as the alleged
crime was committed here, it was
stated.

Barn at Green Glade Burns

The barn on the farm of C. H. Glot-
felty, Green Glade, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire on Tuesday, September
81. The blaze was caused by sponta-
neous combustion, it is supposed.
In the building when it burned were
stored 225 bushels of oats, several
tons of alfalfa hay and several head
of live stock, all of which was burned.
Some insurance was carried.

FRANCE LAUDED
FOR COURAGE
Maryland Man Is Praised in
Nomination Speech.
By United Press

CHICAGO, June 16.-The cour-
age of Joseph I. France, who, as
United States senator, voted against
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act, was emphasized to-
day by L. B. Sandblast of Portland,
Ore, when he nominated France as
Republican candidate for President.
France, from Maryland, was
President Hoover's only opponent
for the nomination.
In recent years, Sandblast said,
the country had drifted from the
principles of constitutional govern
ment and needed man of Frances
independence to restore fundamen-
tails.
The predictions France made
when he voted against the eight
zenith amendment, the speaker add
ed, had come to pass in this at
tempt to regulate personal habits
by governmental mandate"
HE believed that even worthy
can not be accomplished
by violating righteous principles;
that the moral law is supreme, and
evil measures will produce evil con-
even with the best of
motives That is where he stood
then and that is where he stands
today"

Democrats to Act
The Democrats, who meet here
June 81, are expected to adopt a
prohibition revisionist program, per-
haps more strongly pointed against
the eighteenth amendment than the
one which the Republicans voted
early today after turbulent night
session.
The administration prohibition
plan calls for submission to the
country by congress of another
amendment which would retain to
congress the power to preserve the
gains already made in dealing with
the evils inherent in the liquor traf-
fic," but allowing states 10 deal with
the problem as their citizens may
determine, subject always TO the
power of the federal government to
protect those states which desire to
remain dry and to safeguard the
country as whole from the return
of the saloon and attendant abuses.
See Curtis denomination
Direct repeal advocates char
acterized the administration plan
as a straddle, which, if adopted,
would force wet states like New
York to accept the dictation of con-
gress as to how to deal with the
liquor problem.
Extreme drys issued Joint
statement declaring their opposition
to any reopening of the issue what
ever.
However, the new platform marks
a definite change of Republican
policy.
