EUEL LEE MOVED
TO THE CITY JAIL
Negro Accused of Staying
Family of Four is Now
Waiting Retrial
LEAGUE FOR REMOVAL

Two hours before the Interna-
tional Labor Defense League held
mass meeting Friday night to
protest the detention of Euel Lee,
negro, in the death house at the
Penitentiary, Lee was removed to
the City Jail to await a retrial on
a charge of killing an Eastern
Shore family of four last October.
The removal of the prisoner had
no effect on the meeting, however.
Members of the league did not
know Lee had been transferred and
they carried out their full schedule
of protest. The negro is accused
of killing Green K. Davis. his wife
and their two children at the Davis
home, near TaylorsviIle, Md He
was convicted by a jury at Towson
January 20, of the murder of Davis
Eight days later Lee was sentenced
to be hanged. Attorneys for the
Defense League, who had repre-
sented Lee, took the case to the
Court of Appeals. A new trial was
granted July on the ground that
there had been an unconstitutional
exclusion of negroes from juries in
Baltimore county. Lee was placed
in the death house a few hours af-
ter he was sentenced, and remain
ed there until his removal to the
jail. Following the appellate court
decision the league protested his
detension at the Penitentiary, but
did not petition the court at Tow
son for his removal Shortly after
the Court of Appeals acted Chief
Judge T. Scott Offutt, of the Third
Judicial Circuit, when asked wheth-
er Lee could be removed to the Jail,
declined to discuss the matter on
the ground that neither the State
nor the prosecution had requested
such action. Lee was removed un-
der order of Chief Judge Offutt,
who acted at the request of James
c. L. Anderson, States Attorney
for Baltimore county, and Godfrey
Child, States Attorney for Wor-
cester county. The prosecutors de-
cided on the move late in the af-
ternoon. The order was given
members of the Sheriff's Office at
Towson, who Immediately went to
the Penitentiary and effected the
transfer. Accompanied by William
P. Kennedy, Lee was taken out of
the prison through the hospital
gate on Madison street and hurried
the few hundred feet to the jail en-
trance. Officials at both institu-
tions said the negro made no COM
ment. Lee will be kept at the Jail
until his second trial, which is ex-
pected to be held at Towson the
end of September. The mass meet
ing Friday night was held at 1928
Madison avenue. Louis Berger,
secretary of the league, presided.

STRAND THEATRE, SMYRNA
Interpretation of Real People Basis
of Chic Sales Success

OF InIC SAT- SucceSS
Interpretation, rather than imi-
tation, is the secret behind the
famous characterizations of Char
les (Chic) Sale. His latest War
ner Bros. picture, "The Expert, !"
brings the comedian to the Strand
Theatre next Friday and Saturday,
in the role of a lovable old man,
not unlike his famous part in THE
star Witness" THE Expert" is
adapted from a story by Edna
Ferber. But it was only because
Sale could tie up the Ferber char
acter with a similarly self-willed
old character he had once known
and admired that he would attempt
the part on the screen. ''The FIX
pert" is not without a love interest
however, for the affection between
the old man and the waif Dickie,
as played by Dickie Moore, is
touching and convincing as any ro-
mantle attachment ever played be
fore an audience. The secret is, of
course, that the soft-pedaling Of
romance in a Sale picture is no
handicap, but an innovation which
adds to the pictures value as an
attraction. This was proved con
vincingly by THE Star Witness" :"
one of the sensationally successful
pictures of the past year, and is
expected to be evident again when

HOOVER is INVITED

Salisbury's Bicentennial Celebra-
tion, spectacular and colorful ex-
travaganza, with its array of page
antry, parades, sports, and other
appropriate features, commemor-
ating the towns having been
granted a charter by the English
Government in 1892, is now but
little over two weeks away and
finishing touches are being put on
plans for the "20Oth Birthday
Party" August 8-13. Acceleration
has been lent preparations by the
community's more than $4,000 res
idents by the announcement by
Hon. William S. Gordy, Jr., State
Comptroller of Maryland and
chairman Of Mayor Wade H. In
sley's Bicentennial Commission.
that invitations have been extend
ed both President Herbert Hoover
and Governor Franklin d. Roose-
welt, of New York State, to be
honor guests during the fete and
that both are now giving serious
consideration to the invitation. The
right worshipful Mayor Of Sails
bury, England, Mr.. Sidney Ram
bridge, and his brother, Mr.. Frank
Rambridge, have accepted the
city's invitation and will spend the
entire week at Salisbury. The
chief executive of the English city,
for which this one was named and
from whence came some Of the
early settlers Of this area, will Of
ficially open the weeks festivities
at 8 p. m. on Monday, August 8.
Governor Albert @. Ritchie, of
Maryland, and other State and Ma
tional dignitaries will honor the
week by visitations. Invitations
have been extended the Mayors of
every Salisbury in the United
States to be guests. For months
some 80 active committees. under
Dr. William ]. Holloway, principal
of the State Normal School there
and a former assistant State SUI
perintendent of Education in Mary
land, as general director for the
celebration, have been functioning
actively to make the gala week a
memorable one in Maryland's his
tory. Something Big Every Day"
is the slogan and the program of
events includes: An historical and
symbolic open-air pageant on Tues
day evening, with between three
and four hundred characters; a
mammoth street parade at p. m.
on Thursday. to be several miles in
length and with beautiful and spec
tacular floats, representing Sails
bury and other Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula towns, military, civil, fratern-
al and comic divisions, and thirty
bands, with a street dance at night.
An idea of the vastness of the
scope Of the jubilee may be gained
from the fact that around $4,000 is
being spent for floats in the parade
alone. Other events of the week $
gaiety include harbor display and
water carnival with a variety of
visiting government and privately
owned craft on Friday; tennis and
golf tournaments, horseshoe pitch
ing contests, boys and girls activ-
tiles; tro-county musical audi

That insult Mess

Searching investigation into the op-

now voluntary exiles in foreign lands,
should be prosecuted without delay.
Thousands of innocent purchasers
find the stocks and securities of the
various insult enterprises either Just
so much blue-sky or Of greatly dimin-
ished value.
Charges are made that money which
should have gone into building strong
reserves to protect the stock and bond
obligations of the companies were
used for speculation In the stock mar
kets.
What Appropriated nearly bill
lion dollar enterprise has crumbled
like the Kreuger match trust and I'M
der almost as suspicious circum-
stances. Many of the insult proper
ties from an operating standpoint are
sound and in some the security hold
ers probably will get back a portion
Of their investment.
Now that bankruptcy is inevitable
there will follow liquidation at great
expense under which process values
will shrink and the public doubtless
will know the truth.
Great holding companies selling

now on the spot with the collapse of
the insult set-up. Securities commits

very easy matter for any stock-sell-
ing venture to get approval.
Millions have been mulcted from

squandering their money, but restric-
tons on holding companies and their

Greatest Corn Crop in Iowa
History
(Des MoineS RegiSter)

With the farm price of corn rang
ing from 20 to IS cents, it is difficult
to be overwhelmed with Joy over Iowas
record-breaking crop of half a million
bushels. This bountiful gift Of nature,
sufficient at 1918 and 1919 prices to
pay off the states entire farm mort
gage debt, would in fact be little more
than enough to pay the interest on
that debt if it were all appropriated
to that purpose at present prices.
The major portion of this crop, of
course, will be transformed as usual
into pork, beef and mutton, probably
at profit above feeding costs.
When it is realized, however, that a
great portion Of our present billion
dollar farm mortgage debt dates back
to the days of war prices, and that
since that time an abnormal economic
cycle has shorn away nine-tenths Of
the income of the Iowa farmer who
sells his corn, it is not surprising that
he should be ready in so many cases
to adopt the desperate remedies Of
picketing the highways and calling
for an embargo upon his products and
those of his neighborS.
1t is silly to condemn the farmer for
having been misled by the high COM
modify prices of 1919. Surely there is
not any one anywhere but has been
fooled within the last IS years into
the belief that things were normal
which turned out later to have been
abnormal.
Perhaps most gullible of all are
those who are ready to accept the
present price setup as enduring, yet
there are plenty Of people mot on
farns) who have already accepted 90
cent corn as matter of course thing.
It Is as certain as the coming of day
that accent corn cannot last unless
We are to have complete revamping
OF our entire economic structure. It
may conceivably last a considerable
time or 1t may rebound overnight, as
It has often done in the past.
And II we accept the idea that pres
ent low prices cannot become perma-
nent there is immense reinsurance In
the knowledge that productivity of
Iowa soil Is still unimpaired; that the
greatest corn crop In our history has
been produced IN . period when
maintenance Of soil fertility is most
difficult. It Is striking demonstra-
ton Of the fundamental stability Of
farm values in fowa-the state that
never experiences real crop failure.

A Boys Sleep
How much sleep does a 17-year-old
boy require? He works nine hours a
day in a shipping department. He
drinks one or two glasses of beer a
day at a nearby speakeasy, for his
lunch. At night he has little appe-
tite for dinner-(Mrs. G. B. j.
Answer-Not less than nine hours
sleep every night. The boy will be
stronger and healthier and safer from
wood alcohol blindness If he drinks
two glasses of milk for lunch.
