COUNTY ARTIST
SUCCUMBS FROM
AUTO ACCIDENT
Frank Warren Was Hit By Train
At Girdletree And Died
On Monday
HIS MURAL WORK SEEN
IN MANY BUILDINGS

Frank Warren, an artist living in
Worcester county, was struck by
train at Girdletree, while he was riding
in his automobile. Particulars as to
why the accident occurred are not very
we'll known. Either the car was STALL
ed, or he did not hear the approach of
the train, he being very deaf.
When first taken to the hospital,
he was reported as seriously injured,
but recovery was expected. Later
however, he grew worse and on Mon
day evening he died. Hhe was 60 years
of age. Funeral services were conduct
ed from his home "The Forest" on the
road between Snow Hill and Salisbury;
interment in the Nassawonga ceme-
terry nearby.
A native of New York state Warren
resided most of his life in Philadel-
phia, though he travelled extensively
in the United States and Central
America in pursuit of subject matter
for his murals and landscapes.
Some of his murals are in churches
in Philadelphia, Albany, Montreal and
San Diego. His work has been exhi-
bited at the art galleries in Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Coming to the Eastern Shore several
years ago, he settled his large family
in the "Forest" made famous by
George Alfred Townsend's "The En-
tailed Hat" novel Of slave days.
There, in primitive setting, he be-
gan the construction of a palatial
home of more than twenty rooms,.
which he designed and constructed en-
tirely of cement to carry out the pine.
tree motif. !
His large dark hat, big family Sc
dan and his philosophy of life made
him conspicuous character wher-
ever he travelled. Mrs. Warren died
three years ago.
Eight surviving childen are college
graduates and teachers in high schools,

Speaking of sports, dark cloud
seems to be obscuring the horizon of
the pugilistic armament just at pres
ent. Visions of Jack johnson are ap-
pearing before the eyes of fistic fans,
and the long search for white hope.
Joe Louis, an ebony-hued mauler, has
'em all scared to death, since he bowls
over all corners same as Perry. This
month he goes against Kingfish-not
Huey--and everybody hopes Levinsky's
star will not be blotted out by too
much leather. Seems to me it would
be good idea to have two champion

or line, mixes thing up in the outside

THE TRI-STATE
ASSOCIATION OF
SEA FOODS
Will Hold Meeting At Ocean City
Md, On Saturday, Au-
gust Seventeenth
VARIOUS PHASES OF
INDUSTRY DISCUSSED

The tri-State Sea Food Association,
comprising all members of the indus
try in Maryland, Virginia and Della
ware, will hold it's first annual con-
vention at Ocean City, Maryland on
Saturday, August 18th.
"The people connected with the sea
food business face many serious prob
lems;" said C. A. Lockerman, of Girls
field, President of the Association.
CAT Ocean City we hope to select a
few of the most important troubles
and unite in, doing something about
them"
"The convention is meeting at the
end of the crab season and the begin
ming of the oyster season, therefore,
much time will be given to these two
branches of the industry. The short
age of crabs this summer has caused
unemployment and distress along our
waterfronts. This condition will grow
worse next year unless laws are pass
ed Immediately protecting the supply
of crabs. The oyster business faces
an equally discouraging future, altho'
many promising efforts are being
made to get better markets."
The Association was formed last
June and it is reported to have the
enthusiastic support of every one in
the business. Mr.. Lockerman said in
addition to one hundred and fifty pack
ers Of sea food, the Association also
included watermen's groups, so that
the individual crabber, longer and fish
erman is represented.
"The welfare of each member of
this great industry depends on the
other fellow" continued Mr.. Locker
man. "For years we were independ-
ent or thought we could be. But we
know better now. We are organizing
to help each other and thereby help
ourselves"
In addition to prominent local men,
bers of the industry who will discuss
various phases of the business; Rob't.
F. Duer of the Maryland Conservation
Dept. and Clarence S. Foster of the
Delaware Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners will speak. Rufus
Miles of Norfolk, Virginia will discuss
the oyster business and I. H. Tawes of
Crisfield will tell of efforts being
made to protect the crab supply, Mr..
Tawes is chairman of committee re-
Gently appointed to push the enact
ment Of a bill by Senator Tydings
for this purpose.

W. JOHNSON
IS SENTENCED
FOR One YEAR
Charged With Shooting With In.
tent To Kill MIR. Ira Barnes,
At Kings Creek
MIR. BARNES RECOVERING
FROM SLIGHT WOUND

Wilbur Johnson, Of Green Hill, Som
erset county, who wounded Mr.. Ira
Barnes, of Kings Creek, last week,
by shooting a ball through his leg
from a rifle was given a hearing on
Friday of last week, found guilty and
sentenced to one year in the peniten-
tiary. Mr.. Barnes is not seriously
injured.
The argument which ended in the
shooting on Wednesday began the day
before, and was concerned with diff
ference between johnson and colored
farm hand, Frank Bacon, Tuesday af-
ternoon. Mr.. Barnes, as peacemaker,
and anxious, as all farmers are, to
speed the harvest work along, became
involved and is reported to have run
johnson off his land with pitch
fork.
johnson, who is from Virginia, and
is said to have been in several other
shooting affairs before, has been en-
ployed since last January on the farm
of Mr.. Benjamin Barnes. On We'd
nesday morning, when he returned to
his work at the Benz. Barnes farm,
he met Mr.. Ira Barnes and continued
the argument of the day before. Mr..
Ira Barnes, resenting his language.
advanced towards him, when he is
said to have taken a 32-calibre rifle
from his car and shot Mr.. Barnes
just above the knee.
After receiving medical attention, a
warrant was sworn out for Johnson's
arrest Thursday morning on charge
Of assault with intent to kill.
Mr.. Barnes said later he hardly real
lied he had been shot and felt very
little pain, and has been actively on
his feet since, the bullet, however,
passed completely through his leg
just above the knee, barely missing
the bone and joint.
The original argument it was learn
ed, was over the way the men were
slowing the sheaves of wheat on the
wagons, to be drawn to the Alder
Brothers thrashing machine which was
separating Mr.. Barnes grain.
johnson was arrested Thursday by
Deputy Sheriff Holland and lodged in
the county Jail. His hearing before
Magistrate r. Mark White, as stated
above, was held on Friday morning.

P. W. DRYDEN INSTALLS
HATCHERY EQUIPMENT

New electric equipment with sep
arate settlers and hatcher, special
culled and blood-tested flocks have
been some of the advances recently
made by Mr.. P. w. Dryden, of Snow
Hill, owner of the Dryden's Hatch
cries.
This year Mr.. Dryden has gone
step further. He has been travelling
through the country in an effort to
locate special cockerels from other
states to put in his flocks locally.
His aim was accomplished and he is
having a large number of birds ship
ped to his hatcheries. With this plan
there will be no inbreeding and Mr..
Dryden claims he can produce much
stronger and healthier chicks to offer
Eastern Shore broiler raisers and
farmers, than ever before.
He states that already orders for the
special chicks are being received and
feels that his efforts are proving
