SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Starting Over.
We said Happy New Year with honest
intent.
In Just q few days we are asked what
we meant.
And the message is brought through a
terrible din,
"They are hghtin' ag'inl They are
fightin' ag'in~
The arguments carefully worded pro-
gressed,
We thought that the facts were SO
clearly expressed
That only the truth and the right stood
They are fightin' ag'in! They are
f1ghtin' ag'in"
We thought that King Alcohol's gang
was subdued,
And that neighbors in Asia had ended
their feud;
That virtue triumphant had ended all
sin,
They are flghtin' ag'inl They are
f1ghtin' ag'in!"
Serenade.
what is that crowd under the win
dow?"
"a group Of serenaders," answered
Senator Sorghum.
What is the song?"
IT don't recognize the tune. But I
take 1t for granted the meaning Is
something like oh, Promise Me-"
Jud Tunkins says he can't help
wishin' a few Of these radio enter
tainers could get to be good enough to
lose their amateur standing.

The Congress which met here a
month ago today has put through a
bill granting independence to the
Philippine Islands after a period of
probation. The bill is now before the
President for his approval. It has been
expected that Mr.. Hoover would veto
the bill, and that it would fail there
fore. OF course, the Congress might
pass it over his veto, but it would
be unusual for q President not to be
able to muster more than one-third of
the members Of at least one of the
houses of Congress to sustain a veto.
The point, however, is that with one
third Of the session of Congress now
gone by, it is idle to expect the present
Congress to put through a great pro-
gram of legislation, including budget
balancing laws, farm relief and repeal
of the eighteenth amendment and beer
legislation by March 4.

ing payroll which he guarded,
will be introduced in the District
Supreme Court Monday when

last month, said the police had
told him it would be better for
him and lighter for him" II
he confessed his part in the pro-
ceedings.
Everett L. Blackwell, who is
said to have played part in the
crime, though not to have done
the shooting, said a detective had
threatened to use the third de-
gree on him if he did not sign

COUNTY AGENTS

Work Can Be Abolished With
Big Saving to Both State
and Nation, Is View

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. II.
The two million dollar a year
payroll of the University CT
Maryland will be the first phase
of the University's expenditures
to be investigated by a special
committee appointed in the
State Senate yesterday.
A majority of the members of
the Senate Finance Committee
expressed themselves in favor of
abolishing the county extension
work of the University, with a
consequent saving to the State of
$4,000 a year and q saving of
a like amount to the Federal
Government.
Work Not Essential
Senator j. Allan Coad, member
of the Finance Committee said
today that the home demonstra-
ton, county agent and the
stenographer sent to each county
were useful chiefly in securing
students to the college and that
their work was something that
could readily be dispensed with
at this time.
Senator Milton Veasy Of Wor-
cester county, chairman Of the
special committee named to in
vestigate the finances of the col
lege, said he probably would call
on the State auditor to go over
the accounts of the college.
Concerned With Salaries
His committee is mostly con-
cerned with the high salaries paid
to faculty members and employees
of the college. Their first meeting
was held yesterday when they al
lotted portions of the college 1875
page payroll among themselves
for study.
Senator Coad said that he was
in favor of simply cutting a lump
sum, a quarter Of million or
more, from the college appropria,
tions and letting college heads
decide how the cut should be ap-
piled,

SEIZE STILL AND ARREST
AN ALLEGED MOONSHINER
SantsOn C. Green Charged With
Operating a 1OO-GallOn Still

The first arrest on the first day
after prohibition had been outlawed
and the legal manufacture and sale of
liquor permitted, in any other county
of Maryland except Garrett, was made
Wednesday on Dry Fork Run, this
county, when Federal Agent w. R.
Harvey, of the Department of Justice
Alcohol Beverage Unit, with officers,
arrested Santson C. Green, charged
with operating a one hundred gallon
still on Meadow Mountain. A quantity
of mash was also seized.
Green was given a hearing before
Magistrate J. B. Emory at Bittinger
and held under $500 bond for action
of the Garrett county court.
The raiding officers found the still
and mash and followed the drag tracks
where the mash had been transported
from the house where Green lived, to
the still.
Green told Agent Harvey he had
borrowed the still from a friend in
Cresaptown, a village near Cumber-
land.
