FL. OTTO, FARMER, JAILED
In PLOT TO EXTORT MONEY
COnfesses to Sending Letter to
DIR. N. r. Davis, GrantsvilIe
Physician, Demanding $1,000
THREE PENALTIES LISTED

Charged with an attempt to extort
$1,000 from DR.. N. R. Davis, promin-
ent citizen and bank president of
Grantsville, Fred L. Otto, of New
Germany, is being held in the Garrett
county jail and may be turned over
to Federal authorities.
The arrest followed an investiga-
ton from Monday until Friday night
of county authorities after DR.. Davis
had received a threatening letter
signed the "Clu Clan Comfy" and
demanding that the money be placed
under the steps of the Reformed
church at New Germany on the night
of July 81.
States Attorney Dawson stated
that Otto has made voluntary con-
fession that he sent the letter in
question to DR.. Davis demanding the
money.
The $1,000 was demanded for the
purpose of keeping people from los
ing their FARMS" and the penalty for
failing to comply with the request
meant the kidnapping of some member
of the family, that his property would
be ''blowed up" or that he would be
burnt at the stake.
Officers working on the case stated
that a package was placed under the
church steps Thursday night but was
removed Friday morning when no one
appeared to get it. Otto is said to
have told officers later that he looked
for the package Friday morning when
he and two of his children had gone
to the cemetery adjoining the church
to fix up a burial plot.
Until the Investigations produced
results leading to the arrest of Otto,
DR.. Davis and family were under
quite a mental strain, his children
not being allowed to go any place for
fear of kidnapping.
The facts in the case will be turned
over to Federal authorities.

TO EXPLAIN RELIEF WORK
AT PUBLIC MEET TONIGHT
Son of Former President of the
United States Will Speak on
Situation In the State
STILL MUCH NEED HERE

The public relief meeting to be held
this evening in the Oakland High
School building will have the follow
ing program:
Group singing of America" led by
the Oakland Band and Walter W..
Dawson; welcome, by Mayor Grover
C. Stemple; introduction of Richard F..
Cleveland, chairman of the Governors
Emergency Unemployment Commit
tee, by Charles w. Ream, chairman of
the Garrett County Welfare Board;
the relief situation in Garrett County
today, Charles w. Ream; introduction
of Mr.. Harry Greenstein, State relief
administrator.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Greenstein
will speak not only of the relief stu
alton in Maryland generally but par
ticularly of the future of the relief
work of this county.
Federal relief funds at this time
are being granted the States on what
is known as matching basis" or
one dollar of Federal money for every
three dollars of public State or coun-
ty money spent during the preceding
three months for relief purposes.
Garrett county, because of its ina
bility to meet the relief needs of its
people in the past, is now being fl
nanced as a beneficiary of the State
in the relief work being done among
approximately 1000 families of the
county, but this situation is little I'M
derstood by county people generally,
according to Miss Charlotte Wilcox,
the Relief Administrator.
st is unthinkable that there should
be any curtailment of this service"
Miss Wilcox stated. "We are just
beginning to see some constructive re-
suits in the family life of the county
of the funds we have been permitted
to spend. Many had so completely eX-
hausted all resources that it took
weeks of work and direct relief for
them to catch up at all and now, with
winter just ahead, mothers and faith
ers are thinking not onl yof needed
food for their families but clothing
and shoes for school children as well.
There is also much need of medical
care" Miss Wilcox said. "We have
only recently been advised that Fed
eral funds may be spent when impera-
tive for the care of sick. One little
girl who could not speak distinctly
because of enlarged tonsils and ade-
noids was operated on last week, and
the public health nurses are daily re-
porting other similar cases of children
who should be cared for before school
opens"
To August l, 1913 applications have
reached the headquarters of the Re-
lief Board in Oakland. The last pay
roll gave relief to approximately 5000
individuals in the county through
work projects. There are also certain
families receiving direct relief from
the Board because there are no bread
winners in the home. $2,866.34 was
disbursed through the last payroll by
the relief agency.
A large and enthusiastic meeting
is anticipated this evening to hear the
visiting speakers. A band concert on
the Court house lawn will precede the
meeting.
