CUNNING OVER ON
MARYLAND SHORE
Kent County, Md, Said to Be
a Veritable Paradise For
Sportsmen; Ducks
JIMMY FOXX WAS THERE

More ducks than were ever
seen before in Eastern Shore Of
Maryland waters; a splendid lot of
sprigtails and bluebills; geese in
abundance and many redheads,
canvasbacks, baldpates, gray NAL
lards, teal and shovelers. This
was the concensus of the reports
made by hunters during the past
week. Quail and rabbit gunnners
in Kent County, Md, who were
afeld, had varying luck, but in
most cases came back with their
bags full. Ringgold's Point, Met
calfe's Retreat, duPont's estate,
and other places report scores of
wild ducks killed Royal Swan,
Sassafras river blinds, Clothiers,
Fairlee Farm, and other places in
Kent have been alive with game.
One party killed over a hundred
ducks, 25 or 80 geese, etc. It is
said that more wild geese dinners
were enjoyed the past week about
Betterton than in the history Of the
place. Rabbits have been plentiful
and the bag limit mas been killed
by hundreds Of sportsmen. Be
cause trespassers had made inroads
on the focks of wild ducks in the
lake at the Chester River Yacht
and Country Club, DR.. CHI Hugh
es and Ernest Armstrong Tuesday
shot and killed more than twenty
remaining birds in the flock. Jimmy
Foxx, Philadelphia Athletic star,
with a party of teammates has
been enjoying the cunning in this
section during the week. One day
was enjoyed cunning on the farm
of Frank Baker, former homerun
king of the Athletics, Talbot coun-
ty, while another days sport was
enjoyed on the farm of J. Thomas
Smith, near Chestertown. Those
in the party besides Mr. Foxx, were

CeciIton to Have Fire Protection

At a public meeting in Cecilton,
Md, plans were made for fire pro-
lection for the town. The action
was brought about by the four
recent fires there. Harold Chey-
ney was chosen president of the
group with Carroll c. Short, sec
retary. "A sum Of $4,000 was rails
ed at a carnival several years ago
for a fire company, and since has
been on deposit in the Cecilton
Bank. 1t was decided to have a
well dug and erect an elevated tank
with a capjacity Of 10000 gallons.
An engine will be installed to pump
the water to the tank. Water
mains and fire plugs will be erect
ed in the business section. Work
will start at once. Plans viii later

Supreme Court to Rule on
Liquor Entrapment Issue

CT who is under sentence of eight
cen months in prison.
The court, which will convene in
October, nearly always consents to
review such cases.
The evidence discloSes that Sor-
rels sold Federal Agent Martin a
half-gallon of whisky for S., only
after three requests, and after a
half-hour of conversation over old
times in the A. E. F., where both
served in the Thirtieth division.
The agent represented himself as
a furniture dealer on vacation.
Finally, after twenty or thirty
minutes absence, Sorrels returned
with the liquor. Two weeks later,
more whisky was found buried on
SorrelS' place.
Government witnesses said SorrelS
had the general reputation of being
a rum-runner, but defense witnesses
said he had worked every day since
1924 in a wood-fiber factory at
Canton.
The question of entrapment, which
never has been finally decided in
connection with dry law enforce
ment, squarely put in this appeal,
and should be ruled on finally, &C

HURDLE I.
IS FACED BY
UTILITIES BILL
One More Step in House
Would Put Measure
Before Governor.

Friends of municipal ownership Of
basic utilities prepared today to
Jump the last hurdle in their effort
to obtain passage of & bill broad
ening the power of city or town in
establishment or purchase Of a util-
ity.
The final fight is concentrated in
the house of representatives where
Senate Bill AIT today is awaiting
third and final reading for pass
age. If successful, it goes to the
Governor for action.
Two efforts to emasculate the
bill through amendments were
made by pro-utility members of the
house when the bill came out on a
divided committee report and on
second reading late Tuesday.
Seeking to obtain speedy passage.
an unsuccessful effort to suspend
the constitutional rules requiring
action on separate days was made.
Utility proponents had sufficient
votes to kill the motion.
Final vote on the Hoffman
home rule" bill which would abol-
ish practically all mandatory levies.
and would permit councils of cities.
counties and towns to fix salaries, is
expected to be cast Friday afternoon
by the house.
With final action nearing in the
senate on the income tax law, sur
veys by the Indiana Association for
Tax Justice show the measure would
tax moderate incomes twice as
heavily as incomes are taxed in
seventeen other states.
