FATHER DENIED
CHILDREN

DR.. A. R. Olson Of Silver Spring
lost another fight to gain custody
of two children from a former
wife who has remarked in Prince
Georges County circuit court yes
terday. A writ of habeas corpus
was denied by Judge Joseph c.
Mattingly.
Represented by Thomas Luck
EFT, Capitol Heights lawyer, he
testified that he thought Mari.
eta and Hester, the children,
were not being given a proper
home, a statement corroborated
by Miss Agnes Duval, social
worker, at Springfield, Md, where
they live with their mother, now
Mrs. Frank M. Kuehling.
Wilson Ryon, of Hyattsville,
opposing lawyer, drew from him
the admission that he was hav-
ing a hard struggle to support
himself and an adopted daugh-
ter on his salary as a Govern
ment clerk and as a doctor. He
was ordered to continue to pay
for the support of the children.

Three Enforcement Officials
Are Removed From South

With the removal of Deputy
Marshall Eugene w. Shook, of
Riverdale, and the two dry agents
left at Upper Marlboro after the
Federal reorganization, another
loophole in the opening of South
ern Maryland to complete whisky
freedom has been completed, still,
owners throughout the area be-
lieve.
Dry enforcement will be fur
ther lesSened by the fact that
Washington squads will be able
to act on tips only, and will
not be able to search for stills,
gather information and tn n
raid them. Many still owners
insist they can run unmolested
for months, without their neigh.
bors, even, knowing of their il,
legal operations.
The half dozen cases pending
a hearing before U. S. Commits
sioner j. Frank Parran may be
dismissed, he said, for lack of

DANIELS LOOMS

Of A.F.G.E.
Sept. II Convention Expected
to Bring Complete New
Set of Officers

Although the attention of Fed
eral workers generally is pretty
much taken up at the moment by
the imminence of the national
convention of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees at
Kansas City, Mo-, it became
known today that the convention
of the rival organization, the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, which will be
held in this city the week of Sep
tember IL, will have a more ex-
citing program than was earlier
expected.
Practically a complete new set
of officers is expected to be
elected, as a result of the ineligi-
bility of John Arthur Shaw, now
president of the organization, to
hold the office further, and the
disinclination of certain other Of
ficers to serve another term.
Daniels in Race
A number of candidates are ex.
pected to present themselves, but
at the moment the most likely
choice for the presidency appears
to be John F. Daniels, vice
president of the federation, and a
Federal employe stationed in
Philadelphia.
1t is expected that the organi-
zation set-up will be considerably
changed following the convention,
and that the president of the
federation will be a real executive
in the future.
In all probability, developments
at the N. F.. F.. E. convention will
come in for considerable discus
sion, not to say criticism, and
plans will be laid for a joint con-
ference of Federal employees or
CARNATIONS to work out "code"
for Government workers. This,
of course, would have to win ap-
proval of Congress and the Presi-
dent.
Many Resolutions
Since this program was an
nounced, various N. F. F.. E. units
have come forward with resolu-
tions, which will be presented at
Kansas City, including abolition
of the mo promotions" policy,
correction of the Saturday situa-
ton whereby certain workers are
docked a full days pay for losing
four hours work, and uniform
sick and annual leave. One days
rest in seven, and maximum
working day and working week
provisions will also be sought.

S6OOOO00 STORM DAMAGE TO CROPS FEARED IN NARNL
Ten-Cent Soar
Too Good for
Laibirds

Ten-cent soap is too good for
the prisoners at the Upper
Marlboro Jail, States Attorney
Alan Bowie has ruled, and now
the prisoners, who are mostly
colored, will have to use an
other brand which sells at
three cakes for 10 cents.
When Charles Greenleaf, COL
ored jailer, appeared yesterday
before James S. Heal, Secre-
tary of the county commits
sioners' board, to ask for a
requisition, Mr.. Bowie ruled
that the 10-cent brand was too
much of a burden to place
upon the taxpayers.
He said:
"They use enough soap up
there to wash the Baltimore
penitentiary."

EXPERT POINTS
To LOSS IN
QUALITY
University Extension Chief
Says Weather of Next Few
Weeks Will Be Factor

Maryland crop damage, suf-
4ered as a result of the storm
last week, may run as high as
100000, according to an esti-
mate made today by DR.. T. B.
Symons, director of the Univer-
sity of Maryland extension SER
vice.
The extension service director
pointed out that much Of the
damage is in the quality of the
crops, and that the weather
which prevails during the next
few weeks will be an important
factor in determining the actual
loss.
County Agents Report
His estimate of the damage
was made following the receipt
Of reports from the various
county agents and figures COM
piled by Richard C. Ross, head
OF the State crop reporting SER
vice.
The crops which suffered most
from the gales of the storm, DR..
Symons reports, and the approx
mate amount of los" to each of
those crops is: Corn, $2,500,000,
including the loss of fodder; to-
bacco, $1,500,000, and tomatoes,
$1,000,O00.
It is estimated that between
IS and so per cent of the tobacco
crop in five Southern Maryland
counties was damaged, consider
ing the acreage that has been
destroyed and the extent to
which the quality of the crop is
affected.
Fruit Yield Suffers
In Montgomery county, it is
estimated, damage to the corn
crop amounted to about $150,000,
while the corn crop damage in
Prince Georges county will run
to about 100000.
Fruit crops also suffered their
share of the damage, the peach
and apple crops affected in two
counties alone to the extent Of
about $150,000.
Although the greater part Of
the cantaloupe crop already had
been marketed before the storm,
extensive damage was done to
the fruit still in the fields.

CARS ARE WRECKED

On women was killed and five
men slightly injured in a head-on
collision of automobiles that occur
red near Harrington Sunday night
in the dense fog that settled over
most of the State.
The pea-soup fog kept most mo-
torists indoors and the extreme care
used by those who did venture out
is believed responsible for the lack
of other serious accidents in all
parts of the State.
The dead woman is Mrs. Philip
Nash, of Salisbury, Md, who was in
stantly killed when the car driven
by her husband and one driven by
Lawrence Owens, of Parsonsburg,
Md, crashed into each other. Mrs.
Nash suffered a broken neck and
was pronounced dead at the Kent
General Hospital in Dover. Mr.. Nash
was only slightly injured.
Card Radcliff, of Salisbury, one of
the occupants of the Owens car,
suffered severe cuts and bruises and
is in the Kent General Hospital. In
Owens car in addition to Owens and
Radcliffe were Roger Parsons, Ches-
ter Dennis and Woodward Matthews,
all of Salisbury, who suffered minor
injuries. Both cars were wrecked.
Owens, Parsons, Matthews and
Dennis were arrested and held in
the Kent county Jail to await a
hearing and the action of the coro-
ner on the death of Mrs. Nash and
the outcome of Radcliff's injuries.

The effect and Importance of nj
trogen in the growth and produc-
ton of fruit trees was among the
interesting subjects discussed at the
47th annual meeting of the PENN
sula Horticultural Society at Berlin,
Md, on Tuesday. The subject was
discussed by DR.. F. S. Lagasse, of
the Extension Department of the
University of Delaware at Newark.
He cited the use of nitrogen in the
apple orchards of Delaware and il
lustrated his address with slides. He
pointed out that the best time to use
nitrogen is in the fall.
ut takes from two to three weeks
for nitrogen in the soil to reach the
top of the fruit trees" he said. "Of
all constituents needed by fruit
trees to produce, the chief one is nj
trogen," he declared.
DIR. ]. w. Hueberger, of the Uni

Status Raises Problem.
CALL SEEN LEGAL

Although the General Assembly
now stands adjourned until March
6, 1884, by proclamation of Cover
nor C. Douglass Buck, it developed
this week that it will be necessary
for him to reconvene the State Sem
ate in a special session to confirm
the Governors appointment to the
State Bench to fill a vacancy which
will occur on January 13, 1884. At
midnight the previous day the IL
year term of Judge Richard S. Rod
ney will expire.
Under the State Constitution 1t is
mandatory upon the Governor when
a vacancy occurs on the bench to
name his successor within 80 days
from the date of the expiration of
the term and also within the same
period to call the Senate into ses-
sion to confirm the jurist he may
appoint to fill the vacancy. The re-
cent proclamation adjourned the
LEGISLATURE until March 6, which is
several days beyond the S0-day time
limit allowed the Governor to act
in the appointment of Judge Rod
ney's successor and the speclal ses-
sion of the Senate to confirm the ap-
pointment.
However, it was authoratively
stated that the Governor has been
advised by competent constitutional
legal authorities that there is no
question of his right to call the Sem
ate back during this adjournment
period to confirm appointments to
vacancies on the State Bench. Act
ing on this advice it is expected the
Governor will call the Senate into
session about February l to submit
to it for confirmation his nominee
as Judge Rodney's successor whe-
ther it be Judge Rodney himself or
some other attorney.

REPORTSSHOW
CANCER is NOT
HOPELESS
Delaware Clinics To Re
port On Work At Annu-
al Meeting Today.
STATE DOING ITS BIT

Reports of the cancer clinics in
Delaware, to be presented to the
Delaware Committee of the Ameri-
can Society for the Control of Can
Ger will show that this State is con-
tributing it's share of the proven
cancer cures in the country.
The Delaware Committee will hold
its annual meeting today in the Ho-
tel dupont, in Wilmington, instead
of December 20 as had been origi-
nally announced.
Authentic reports from the Amer
ican College of Surgeons show that
during 1882 and part of 1888, there
were 24,44S proven cancer cures
five years and over in the country.
OF these, 8,051 cases were cancers
of the breast; 1906 cancers of the
lip, 909 cancers of the stomach, and
more than 5000 were cured cancers
of women's organs.
The Delaware Cancer Control
committee has been broadcasting its
message through the State that can
Ger is no longer a hopeless disease;
that it is durable and that early
diagnosis is very important.
The Delaware clinics, established
in the Delaware Hospital, Whining
ton General Hospital. Beebe Hospi-
tai at Lewes; Milford Emergency
Hospital, Kent General Hospital at
Dover, have been receiving measur-
able response during the past
months due to publication of can
Ger facts. The Delaware Cancer
Committee is maintaining as its
principal point that cancer is cur
able and that early diagnosis of
cancer and recognition of precan-
cerous LESSONS is, without exception,
the greatest single factor in success
fully combating this disease.
Numerous examples of the value
of earluy diagnosis are coming to
the attention of the cancer clinics of
Delaware.
One case is that of woman who
went to her doctor soon after notic-
ing a swelling in the kidney region.
Various laboratory tests were made
that led to the diagnosis of cancer
in the kidney. The woman was op-
Grated upon in 1892 and has had
regular post-operative examinations
ever since, and remains today in ex-
cellent health, year and half af-
ter the operation.
Another case on the records of the
clinics is that of a man who, two
months ago, had chronic liberation

CAR TURNS OVER 3
TIMES; OWNER HURT
Automobiles Cut All Sorts OF 'Di-
does" In the Streets OF Milford

Last Thursday morning business
of Milford was paralyzed ON account
of the icy condition of the streets
and roads. The streets of Milford
were covered with ice and the side
walks were no better. In fact, many
took to the center of the driveways
instead of risking life and limb on
the concrete pavements.
Automobiles whose owners were
forced to take a chance cut all sorts
of "didoes" in the streets of the city.
At the intersection of the Milford
Harrington boulevard and the Hous-
ton road, an automobile driven by
Harry Porter, of Harrington, turned
over three times and the occupants
were injured. The car belonged to
John Abbott, of Harrington, who was
a passenger in the machine, and he
was travelling from Harrington to
Houston on business.
In making the turn he struck
sheet of smooth ice and the car
skidded into a ditch and turned over
three times. Mr.. Abbott was injured
about the hands and legs and Porter
was also cut about the hands and
one foot injured, but neither was
seriously hurt.
