UNMITlGATED GALL OF THE FRENCH

You've got tc kand it to the French for pure un- aGueratcd gall Among the latest proposals of the vel chers is that, immediately after the prohibition amend nent is repealed Seattle enter into agreement where by canned salmon will be exchanged for French wines.
 The final repeal of the prohibition law is as yet possibility, whatever might be done respecting modification with respect to beer and wines
 Then there are our own California wineries to con- slider. It s net likely that any Congress would permit France to take advantage of American markets while at the same time repudiatng honest debts owed the United States.
 It so turns out that France has preferential agree ment with Japan for admission of canned salmon that virtually excludes like product from America.

OYSTERS BACKOFFUTT ESTATE
ON THE MENU IS AUCT|ONED

The last instructions in the
will of Thomas H. Offutt, late
resident of Montgomery county,
were carried out yesterday morn
ing, when seven parcels of land
went under the auctioneer's ham
mer on the steps of the Rockville
court house. Bidding on the
tracts, which are scattered
throughout the county. was brisk
and all of them save one section
was disposed Of.
Offutt, who had been a resi-
dent of Rockville and Montgom-
cry county for nearly 80 years
prior to his death. last fall. was a
farmer whose knack for spotting
excellent land made him wealthy.
His will, however, charged that
the land was not to be kept by
his heirs, but was to be sold at
public or private sale within one
year of his death. Members of
the family purchased most of the
tracts. although a few persons
identified as friends" figured
prominently in the bidding.
The Offutt estate was one Of
the largest to be disposed Of in
Montgomery county for some
time.

With the return Of the "R"
months, oysters will be on the
menu again Friday.
That is the date on which the
oyster longing season in most Of
the nearby Maryland waters opens
after the usual summer shut
down.
Those oyster bars which are
not opened Friday, however. will
have only a 15-day wait before
longing begins there, but the
dredgers will not be permitted to
ply their trade until November /.
The Maryland State conserva-
tion commissioner desires to keep
some of the oyster bars closed
until later than the formal open
ing of the season in order that
the market will not be burdened
with surplus of the first to be
taken from the waters. When
these bars are opened later. he
suggests. the oysters will be fatter
and more mature and should
bring a better price.

QUICK SOLUTION
SEEN IN ODD
MYSTERY
HagerstoWn Woman Believed
To Have ChIoroformed
Self in Attic

HAGERS WIN, Aug. 30
Quick solution of the death of a
woman whose body was found
curled up in a trunk in her home
here yesterday was believed today
to have been accomplished.
The body Of Mrs. Myrtle L.
MullineauX was found by her hus-
band, DR.. j. C. MullineauX, who
had been searching for her since
Saturday when she disappeared
while he and his son were absent
from home.
OdOr in Attic
He said he was attracted to the
attic Of his home by an odor, and
upon investigation found the body
in a small. old-fashioned trunk
which rested on the rafters. Po-
lice were calle d and a bottle
marked "chloroform" was found
in the trunk with the body.
A coroner's jury was summoned
Immediately and heard testimony
that Mrs. Mullineaux had spent
five weeks in a Rockville hospital
in the spring and was released
when she was declared cured of
q mental disorder.
Suicide Is Theory
One neighbor testified that she
called on Mrs. MullineauX Satur-
day and that the latter was lying
In bed and asserted she expected
to stay there until she died.
Another neighbor told the cor
oner's jury she had had tele-
phone conversation with the vic
tim recently and Mrs. MullineauX
had said not to be surprised if she
(Mrs. MullineauX) were found
dead soon.
The top of the trunk in which
the body was found was closed,
and a doctor who testified at the
hearing said Mrs. Mullineaux
must have taken her own life, as
it would have been virtually i'm
possible for any one to have forced
her in such small area if she had
resisted.
