KEPLER PRESENTED
ON EIGHT COUNTS
Vice. President OF ElktOn Bank
Accused OF Larceny And
False Entry

Iryin T. Kepler, executive vice.
president of the Elkton Bonking and
Trust Company, who was arrested on
April 81, charged with making a
false statement and making false en-
tries, will have to stand trial in the
Circuit Court at Elkton.
The grand jury, which has been
working on the case for more than a
week, delving into every phase of the
business of the bank, returned eight
presentments against him to the
judges of the court Thursday eve
ming.
Four of the presentments charge,
him with larceny and four of them
charge false entries on the books of
the institution. All the transactions
took place, it is alleged, within six
months of the bank holiday. One
RESENTMENT charges him with Larceny
of $1,925.83; another with larceny
of $3,742.98; another with taking
$2,426.5O, and the fourth one with
larceny of $3O5.55.
Thirty different witnesses were ex-
amined in the case, including two
from the office of the State Bank Ex-
aminer, several from Baltimore
brokerage houses, the officials and
directors of the institution.
1t was the most thorough investi-
cation that probably has ever been
made by grand jury in Cecil coun-
ty. Not only were Mr.. Kepler's
transactions with the bank thor
oughly sifted but his stock dealings
were thoroughly examined.
After the bank holiday, when it
was found that the Trust Company
was unable to meet the requirements
warranting it being given a permit to
reopen, Oscar P. Comegys, of the
State Banking Commissioners staff,
was appointed conservator. His ex-
animation into the banks condition
revealed the facts which led to Mr..
Kepler's arrest it was said.
Mr.. Kepler has been 'at liberty
since eighteen hours after his arrest
under $4,000 bond.
While no date has been set, it is
expected that the trial of Mr.. Kepler
will take place the latter part of this
month.

HELD UP AND ROBBED
BY THREE CIPSIES
Resident Of Greenhurst Re-
lieved Of Ten Dollars By
unwelcorne Visitors

William B. England, who lives
alone near Greenhurst, was held up
and robbed on Monday evening,
about six o'clock, by two women and
a man, supposed to be girsies. They
stopped in front of the house and in
quired the way to Rising Sun.
Seeing no one else about they
forced Mr.. England to reenter the
house, where they proceeded to
search him and take what money he
had in his pockets, ten dollars.
They also searched the house, but
finding no more money finally got
into their automobile and drove rap
idly away.
Mr.. England was not able to see
the number of the license tag in the
growing darkness, nor was he able
to summons help in time to appre-
bend the three thieves.
Later he ascertained the gipsies
had stopped at the home of Ennis
McGrady, about one mile distant, but
Mrs. McGrady, who was alon. at the
time, locked the door and refused
them entrance.
People are warnedt to be On their
guard against the bands of gipsies
that frequently wander through this
section, as they are generally ready
to perpetrate some shady transaction
whenever opportunity presents.

TIMORE

A large delegation from the Phil

ton, including several from Cecil
county, attended hearing before
the State Road Commission in Bal
timore, Monday afternoon, when
strong arguments were made for the
Road Commission to rebuild and
widen the present Philadelphia road,
leading from Baltimore to Elkton.
The Commission failed to state what
action might be taken.
The widening project has been re-
jected by the Federal Government
because of difficulty in securing

THE HARVEST MOON

Beautiful moonlight nights this
week, with the Harvest Moon" full
on Tuesday evening, the 3rd. The
Harvest Moon is the full moon that
falls nearest the autumnal equinox.
Owing to the fact that the full moon
at the time of the autumnal equinox
is in that part of its orbit where It
makes the smallest angle with the
horizon, 1t rises at nearly the same
hour for several nights In succession,
thus giving unusual proportions of
moonlight evenings.

STATE HIGHWAY
WORK DELAYED
May Lose Public Works Road
Funds Through Delay

I
Steps looking toward the with
drawal of Public Works roads funds
from fourteen States, including
Maryland, which have not yet begun
construction under the $500, 100000
emergency program were taken
Thursday by the special board fol
public works.
Maryland's allotment is s3,564,-
527.
The temper of the specia. board
which, with Harold L. Ickes Public
Works Administrator, has previously
criticized States which were 'dila-
tory" was unmistakable.
Doubt existed, however, whether
the action it contemplated on with
drawals could be taken legally. II
decided, Notwithstanding that de-
lays on the part of the States in put
ting the money to work would be
taken into account in the consider
alton of future applications for al
lotments.
If the general counsel Of the Pub
lie Works Administration rules that
aHotments to the States may be
withdrawn $130,7s1,sS0 would be
involved in the fourteen States II
which road construction has not be
gun.

COUNTER PLANS FOR PHILADA
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
IN STATE

The State Roads Commissions
S2,S65,OO0 plan to widen the Phila-
delphia road has been rejected by the
State Advisory Board, Federal
Emergency Administration of Pub
lie Works.
The board suggested that, instead
of widening the present road, the
commission build a wholly new high
way running generally parallel to
and southeast of the present Phila-
delphia road between Baltimore and
Aberdeen, a project for which the
commission has no plans in readi-
ness. The suggestion was made
during a conference between the
board and the commission.
During that conference the COM
missions $12,827,414.11 emergency
highways program-designed to al
leviate unemployment this winter as
part of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration's plblic-works program
suffered a series of setbacks, of
which the Philadelphia road plan re-
lection was only one.
e. Brooke Lee, the Governors leg
islative field marshal and spokesman
for the commission, remained insis-
tent, however, that about half the
rogram-expressed in dollars and
cents rather than in terms of en-
ployment or road mileage-would be
put under way this winter.

Grand Jury Concludes Lengthy Ses-
sion And Submits Report

Grand Jury Concludes Lengthy Ses-
sion And Submits Report
The Grand Jury completed its la
bors and was discharged aft .r being
in session two weeks, during which
time 112 witnesses were examined,
SO presentments found. 36 true bills
returned, and four cases ignored
The committee appointed to visit
the Aims House, at Cherry Hill, re-
ported the Home neatly kept and
conditions favorable. There are 20
inmates, SIS white males, Eve coll
bred; six white females, three col
ored.
The roof on the main portion of
the barn and also the granery roof
ire in need of repairs and we di-
'ect that the County Commissioners
i've their immediate attention to
his matter. The Committee found
the building on the County property
formerly used as an Asylum rapidly
falling into decay and it is tie opin-
ion of the Jury as whole that this
building should be saved and kept in
reasonable repair and we direct that
the County Commissioners give this
matter their immediate attention.
The Jury inspected the Jail and
Sheriff's residence-in body and
found rs prisoners, 20 white males
and colored males. The condition
of the Jail was clean and sanitary.
The Jury was called upon to in
vestigate two deaths which occurred
in North East at the intersection of
Main Street and Route 40. We rec
ommend- that the town of North East
study the system of light to the end
that futrue accidents of this charac-
ter may be avoided.
This Jury respectfully recom-
mends to the Board of School Com
missioners that they make some pro-
vision to carry all school children
who travel Route / to the school at
Rising Sun.
| The Jury recommends that the
Sheriff and the County Treasurer be
authorized to accept instalment pay
ments on all State and County Taxes
due, to the end that every precau-
ton be exercised to save the citizens
of this county from the sale of their
homes for delinquent taxes, And If
and when a Special Session of the
Legislature may be called, we re-
spectfully petition our Senator and
Delegates to advocate such legisla-
ton as may accomplish this end.
On an examination of the Traders
License Book, the Jury finds several
individuals transacting business in
this county without proper license.
This list has been transmitted to the
States Attorney with a request for
action.
