over last year, and another in
crease is predicted for next
year, according to the annual
report of Swepson Earle, Mary

The prediction of increase is
based partly on the large catch

Explains Gun Shots

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb. 10.
Mrs. Esther G. Sands, %, who
wasN reported kidnapped yes
terday, returned to Annapolis
early today from Baltimore
in the technical charge of a
deputy sheriff.
She and William Sweeney, who
police suspected Of being impli-
Gated in the case, were sched-
uled to appear before Police
Justice Jesse Hopkins today.
Failed to Appear
Mrs Sands did not appear at
the hearing and, as there were
no charges against either her or
Sweeney, no action was taken.
Sweeney was allowed his free
dom.
Mrs. Sands was located at a
boarding house in Baltimore last
night. She stated that she was
not kidnapped, and that there was
no reason why SHE should not
leave here if she wished.
She said the bullet holes in the
floor of her home which led
police to believe there had been
struggle, were caused when she
accidentally hit the gun against
a piece of furniture.
Refers to, Threats
She said she did not know how
the furniture came to be dis
arranged and admitted having
received number of threatening
letters, but paid no attention to
them.
Nothing could be learned re,
garding her future plans. She
is the guest of Deputy Sheriff
James Blackwell and his wife un-
til she can make some arrange
ments for the future.
Up to a late hour this morning,
her husband did not know that
she was back in the city. When
informed of his wife's where.
abouts last night he seemed to be
wholly at a lost to account for
her actions.

YOUTH ACCUSED
in Staying CASE
FREED ON Bail

COURTROOM, WINSTON-SA-
LEM, N. c., Aug. 6. W.P)-On agree
ment of counsel and court, Albert
Walker, accused with Libby Holman
of the alleged murder of Smith
Reynolds today was ordered re"
leased from jail on bail.
The state indicated it did not
consider the evidence in the case
sufficient to hold him without bail
for first degree murder.
The solicitor made no Immediate
recommendation of the amount OF
bail.
Walkers lawyers argued that be-
cause of the disposition OF their
client not to evade prosecution, bail
should be made low.
There was no mention of Libby
Holman in the hearing and 1t was
not known whether the release OF
Walker could be regarded as a pre-
cedent that would free Miss Hol-
man also whenever she Surrenders
or is arrested.
Bail for young Walker was set by
Judge A. M. Stack at $4,000.
1.-THE prosecutor admits argued
Bailey Lipferts OF the defense, this
is bailable offense. That indi-
Gates that he has no evidence of
first degree murder that is of malice
or premeditation."
"All I suggest as to the baila-
bility of this offense," said Solicitor
Carlisle Higgins, "is the absence of
evidence Of premeditation."
He did not explain the statement
further but it was taken to mean
the state did not propose to press
for a first degree murder charge
unless further evidence is develop
ed.
The court agreed to hear petit
ton to revise the amount of the
bond should there be difficulty in
raising it.
''All we say" said Assistant So
licitor j. Erie McMichael after the
hearing adjourned, "is that we have
no evidence at present of premedi-
tation and deliberation.
THAT takes it out of first degree
murder and reduces it to second" !"

CANADIANS NIP
ALLEGED PLOT
\ TO KILL THOMAS

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 6. U.P)-
An attempt to assassinate j. II.
Thomas, British dominions secre-
tary, was prevented with the arrest
of Dane Malone, alleged Sim
Feiner, Toronto police claimed to-
day.
The attempt, police said, was to
have been made as Thomas trav-
eIed with other empire trade con-
ference delegates from Ottawa to
the Welland canal, scheduled to be
opened formally at Thorold, Ont,
today.
Malone was arrested in ROOM
ing house here yesterday and held
on q vagrancy charge at the re-
quest of Ottawa authorities. OF
tawa police said Malone had plan
ned the plot on Thomas life and
later, during the recent workers
conference here, picked up a pistol
which had fallen from an automo-
bile in which Malone allegedly was
riding.
Magistrate Emerson Coatswortb
remanded Malone for week when
he was arraigned on the vagrancy
charge before him yesterday. Mean
while, Dominion authorities pre-
pared deportation charges against
him.
The desire to assassinate Thomas.
police said, was supposedly based
on the secretary's activity in nego-
tiations for settlement of differ
ences between the British govern
ment and the Irish Free State.

LIBRARY REPORT
SHOWS BUILDING
BADLY CROWDED

An increase in books, borrowers
and circulation for the year end
ing June 80, 1882, is shown in the
annual report of the El Centro pub
lie library submitted by Agnes Fer
ris Bigelow, librarian.
The total NUMBER of books in the
library is 25,952, an increase of
2,275 during the year, by purchase,
binding and gifts. Circulation for
the year reached 105,293 volumes or
1922 more than the preceding
year. There are 1896 registered US
ers of the library, 1,0S6 being added
during the year.
Circulation averaged more than
% books per borrower.
With the introduction of the new
charging system in October, COM
plete inventory of borrowers cards
was made and several thousand
dead" cards were withdrawn. The
new system added greatly to the
library's efficiency in charging
books to borrowers.
Assistance was rendered to high
school students in research work
and personal instruction was given
in the use of indices and works of
general reference.
The annual series of story hours
for younger children was inaugur-
ated by Mrs. Lucy Miller of Guatay,
who displayed her large collection
of Indian relics and recounted In
dian folk lore, upon which she is
considered an authority. Posters
for this first story hour were made
by school children in the second
ary grades.
In cooperation with the Ten
Thousand club and the public
schools, the annual story telling
contest was held during Good
Book Week.. Much interest was
shown by the children in the COM
petition.
Special collections of non-fiction
have been displayed weekly, and
monthly lists of outstanding books
distributed. The practice of dis
playing posters advertising the lib
rary in hotels and other public
places, has been continued as val
liable means for publicity, and
thanks we're extended to the two
local papers for their assistance in
printing lists of new books.
The report points out the great
need for additional space if the
library IS to continue to function
efficiently. The building was de-
signed to house only 10000 volumes
and with almost thrice that num-
ber now or the shelves, space is at
premium and room designed for
readers has been encroached upon
by new book cases.

FOOD SENT TO
GREELEY TO BE
ON EXHIBITION

CHICAGO, Aug. 6. UP)-Canned
soup sent to the relief of Maj. A. A.
Greeley, United States soldier and
explorer of half century ago, has
been given to the Museum of Sci
ence and Industry by Chicago
packers.
Greeley went to Lady Franklin
bay, in 1881, for the government,
for exploration, establishment of
polar stations and collection of
specimens. In 1888, they left Dis
covery bay, Lady Franklin bay
Grinnell land, and trekked 400
miles southwark to Cape Sabine
but failed to find the relief ships
that were to meet them there
Seven of the party died from star
vation and exposure that winter.
Relief expeditions sent to them
in 1882 and 1883 failed to reach
Greeley's party, but in June, 1884,
Com. Winfield S. Schley, U.S.N.,
found and brought the party back
to Portsmouth. 1t was on this eX-
pedition that the soup was carried.
Special care was taken in preparing
the soup, each can being soldered
from the inside, painted with two
coats of red lead, and stenciled.
The surplus cans were kept at the
Portsmouth navy yard for some
time, but later w. H. Cullen, Ports
mouth, N. H., sent them to the
packing firm, which in turn pre-
sented them to the museum.

RUTH DECLARES
HE IS NOT YET
OUT AS PLAYER
By GEORGE KIRKSEY

CHICAGO, Aug. 6. - This is a
hotel lobby interview with Babe
Ruth, in which the eminent slugger
talks about his bum leg, his fin
ish as a player. his start as man
ager, and a few other baseball top
les es..
He was just coming out of the
barber shop, taking those short
prancing steps of his and putting
on a long Havana cigar when
saw him.
How're va, KIDD" he says, which
is his greeting to anyone whether
they be stranger or old acquain-
tance.
Then it didn't take long to get the
interview started, with ready reply
Forthcoming to each question.
do you think you are through
and playing your last year "
81 have a bum leg which has
slowed me up for the past few
weeks, but I'm not washed up yet"
He then explained how he had
pulled muscle in his right leg
chasing a fly at Yankee stadium,
and how he had been wearing a
rubber corset around it from the
knee almost up to his hip to pro-
tect it. Yankee players say he
couldn't get around on the field
without this artificial protector.
Are you ready to concede the
home run crown to Jimmy Foxx?"
II should say not. FoXX is a
greater hitter and may beat me out
this year, although I don't think
Foxx will break my record of go,
I'm still II homers behind him, but
I might go on spree and catch
him yet. However, the pitchers
still are pitching just as carefully
to me as they ever did, and it's
hard to get good balls to hit.
Up To Public
give games this year I have been
walked four times in each game.
That's how tough it is. Sometimes
I go a whole series without getting
one good enough to hit. 1 think
Foxx gets more good balls to hit
than I do because I don't believe
the pitchers fear him as much as
they do me-"
"Do you think you'll know when
you're through rs a player?"
Eyes, I think I'll have good
idea. I am not going to Try to play
until I drop. AIRY time they start
putting me on the bench, then's
when I'll be ready to quit. wouldn't
sit on the bench on any team.
T'hat1l run you crazy"
do you think you'll be a success
as a manager?"
"I1l leave that to the public.
They'll determine it, anyway"
(Which would you prefer, to man
age team with strong pitching or
hitting?"
"Give me the power and I'll take
care of all the rest"

German Praises
u. S. Athletics

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 6. (U.P)
DR.. TIL. Lewald, a German of the
old school who still clicks his heels
so you can hear them, believes that
athletics developed along American
lines will take militarism's place as
developer of men.
DR.. Lewald is president of the
German Olympic committee. He
himself was trained in dueling,
mountain climbing and rowing, the
sports of the old regime in Ger
many. Despite his 70 years, any
one would recognize him as pro-
duct of that regime.
But sports have replaced military
training and its methods as the
means of training the worlds youth
in efficiency, and athletics will oc-
cupy even more important places

"There was lots of fight in the

have been first. The seven hours
